Cursed b.astard. Anambrans are not interested in u and ur ordinary imo state because we all know that the only thing that can come out from imo state is child prostitution.

I know it will not be long before u cry blue murder. Until u learn to mind ur business in ur useless imo state then I will keep attacking u with the harsh truth about ur useless imo state.

As for igbo presidency, igbos will rather present a non igbo than present a fat useless clueless buffoon called okorosha. Aside that igbos have a lot of sane lettered performers to front when the time comes. Okorosha is not even on the first 10 igbos for such office.

Just look at how he had grinded his ordinary imo state to a halt. Okorosha is presently owing over 1yr salary arrears to the civil servants

I can't wish my enemy an okorosha

soo you guys are scared of boko haram?? And you guys handled the same materials before them

Nawa!

Ubenedictus:
some yorubas actually hold that he came down from the sky as a God with 401 dieties.

Lionhearted:
But not that Lagos originated from the British.

Just that you are indirectly trying to portray that the Yoruba originated from Edo using names as the basis for that. And yes, the Edo has ruled Lagos before. That's a different thing.

Lionhearted:
Okay. Going by your analogy:

Victoria Island, Maryland have English name so the Yoruba came from where?

Wannabe historians that know nothing about the evolution of languages.

Yoruba languages have a unique characteristic: aya lo ede!

ffor saying juju is demonic and dirty I just have to ignore whatever you have to say
It's obvious you are an Abrahmmic puppet

HopeAtHand:
Why shud Odum run from Ewu and Aturu??

macof:
you should learn about the African Spirituality. ..I mentioned Orunmila try doing the needful
And don't make quick conclusions

As to ur story, that never happened. Talking juju? do you even know what juju is? I don laugh tire

delishpot:
My guy the juju did not talk na Haba! As an African man, you should know he went to consult. When someone says "I went to ask or enquire" it means he went to consult. Na him and another dibia dey converse. My Mom told me it happened. she even showed me the place the water stayed. Its kind of a family story too. Passed from generation to generation. BTW, if you want me to think Orunmila exists, why cant you also believe that another diety can exist and choose a particular family/ tribe to worship it in exchange for prosperity and long life?

Ubenedictus:
according to the bini account yoruba and bini are brothers.

There is a story of how it is.

In the olden days the bini kingdom was called igodo or igodomigodo, the ruler was not called Oba, he was called ogiso, he was believed to be a descendant of the gods and had power over his subject, the line of ogisos is very long, but the last ogiso wasn't blessed with many sons, he had just one son. I think his name was Elekederan (i'm not sure I got it correctly), anyway the other wife of the ogiso claimed the oracle said the prince must be banished. Without much ado he was banish, he left the city in the company of some "izebus", after some years of jorneying he landed in present day Ife and change his name to "Imazodu'wa", i.e "i didn't miss the path of properity", (which was later corrupted to "oduduwa" there he was famed for his tradition powers, his healing and his spiritual prowess. The soon became king taking the traditional title Oba.

Back home his father had died and Evian a member of the royal family was acting as regent to the throne, Evian wanted his family to be recognised as the rulers of igodo and the chiefs disagreed and sent an expendition for the prince. When they got to Ife they were welcomed, they stated their mission and after a test which they passed oduduwa told them that he couldn't go back with them since he was old and he had already established a kingdom in Ife, he gave them his son "Omonoyan" (now corrupted as Oranmiyan) to take his place.

When Oranmiyan arrived he met serious problems, the children of Evian refused to vacate the throne they said, Ogiame amioba (we have ogie, not Obas) refering to the fact that oranmiyan wasn't grounded in the bini customs and was pretty much ignorant of the bini ways. Oranmiyan was very angry as he wasn't even allowed into the ogiso palace he was living in the outskirt of the city. He named the City Ile Ibinu (land of vexation) later called Ibinu and corrupted to bini. Not long after oranmiyan decided to leave bini becos he believe only someone who understood the custom can lead the people. On his way out he stayed in Ehor and took the daughter of the chief there as his own, not before long she was pregnant and gave birth to a son, d was later called Eweka from his first uterance (owomika). That is how bini rulers started to be called Oba. The line of Evian d "ogiame" suvives till this day.

Oranmiyan went back to Oyo in anger, oduduwa promised him Ife, he went and established the Oyo kingdom and later came back to take Ife throne.

That is how yorubas and binis relate through oduduwa and oranmiyan. The binis were never answerable to th Ooni or any other Oba.

Ofcus the yorubas disagree with this account they believe oduduwa jumped down from heaven with a rope or maybe came from Egypt.

Ife also claims to have the heads of the Obas, I don't know how true that is, but it is possible, d bini obas also considered Ife as home since it was established by their father oduduwa. If that tradition ever existed then it is no longer followed.

If you really want to enjoy bini history then you should discuss a little with Areafada.

Cc:Pazienza..Tonychristopher..biafranking..cheruv..chiwude..biafranqueen..Abagworo...Ezepromoe..and all biafran dreamers come and explain yoir analogy in simpler terms.

zendy:
Don't hype your self. The south-South is just a term used for convenience of speech. Edo,Esan and Isoko are not part of the Biafran agenda. The people who matter to us are the Delta-Igbos.

mulattoclaro:
if edo isn't south south then what is it? You're so dumb. I'm not surprised. Edo is even amongst the people that make up the real south south. Google is your friend.

Anambra...Light of the Nation.

We lead, others follow.

A man who carries the torchlight in a dark forest must be in front while others must stay behind. If anyone tries to be in front of the Torch-bearer, the person will get missing.

We have been rocking the news headlines for accomplishments in Politics (Chuka Ummuna)Education (Students reping Nigeria in Singapore), infastructure (Obiano's Works), Expeditions (The Amazu Family reaching the North Pole)and now this.

The most members in Nairaland. Meaning that of the 1.3 members, Anambra members are like close to 500k members. Chai!! E no easy o

Oya, "sufferstikated" people, let the ranting begin.

Chigold101:
why will Anambra always win? I thought Lagosians are higher than every other state in Nigeria? this brings to mind the Lagos is no man's land concept. Lagos with its high level of internet usage and over population could not even get get up to half of Anambra vote... talks more than we are hearing...

Anambra state a state filled with illiterate traders and school drop outs always take first in Educational anything in Nigeria...

Thank GOD I am FULL FLEDGED ONYE ANAMBRA... I love this state... Am glad GOD made me an Anambraian

I think it's a bini name. cos historically, the yorubas originated from Edo..
Few weeks ago, our training(Edo) manager was sharing with us, a brief history of Edo/yoruba origin. He said Akpogbon I.e the bus-stop before CMS is a Bini name.

efepro:
What's missing there, 'N'? It's probably a spelling mix up...Is there any osa in yoruba language? If Etiosa is Yoruba, what does it mean?

Kingsley1000:
my brother,they're not IGBOs irrespective of the fact they speak the language with little variation with core anambra igbo.i have many of them as friends,and they don't admit they're part of us.even the language news hour on NTA~asaba,the igbo part wasn't general igbo dialect"igbo izugbe"as obtainable in other eastern states,so we should stop foisting ourselves on them...i don't see anything apart from the five eastern states as IGBO

uduokirika1:
Onitsha has been structured to be a market city. But the market pattern too is worrysome, I still maintain my stand aside Banks there are little or virtually no corporate business presence in Onitsha.

The ploriferation of markets is not a yardstick to measuring IGR 'cos most of these markets remit far below what they ought to ve remitted to government coffers and this is possible due to d informal secture-structure of most markets in Onitsha.

As for the Bussines park by Peter Obi the premises is still been under utilised due too the poor design and template, as the structure failed to include an all encompassing design that will be dynamic to accomodating other businesses. Mr. Obi should ve biult a multi storey corporate business building dat will accommodate both what we ve at the moment and other offices for other firms in this regards corporate firms would easily avail themselves the oppurtunity of locating their offices in an already made corporate domiciliary which will be cost effective for both d companies and also propel staff to live in onitsha and spend their monies here which will enhance trickle down effect of resouce redistribution.
Rather Peter Obi built series of two storey biuldings with names already attached ; Stock exchange building, Financial building, etc: Today Acces bank and co ve taken over some of the buildings thereby making the business park a strickly financial institutional mutually exclusive enclave and pushing other corporate businesses like oil and Gas (orient@etroleum), Legal services, consulting firms, IT firms,Telecommunications, Real Estate developers/ managers, Electronic and print Media etc. to d background. Had these been acheieved that axis would by now be d hub of corporate activities and an extension of the Onitsha CBD!

Like I said sometime ago am working on a blog that will soon be out and it is strictly directed for constructive criticism towards government policies, actions and inactions.

igbos are a nuisance and death awaits them and their useless biafra. Igbos are cry babies. They want to dominate and when it doesn't go in their favour they start whining.

All replacement must be from the Niger Delta states because they own the oil.
The marginalization of the Niger Delta must stop.
No Igbo, yoruba or Hausa man must be appointed.

I have no problem believing the stories while explaining it with modern science. I believe we are not alone in the universe, so people can land from space. There may be more advanced people out there as well as primitive people. Other old texts like the Bible also talk about people landing from space.

By June 3 this year, the 10058th year of the present Yoruba era will start. It is the oldest calendar in the world. This present Ife has had a total of 140 kings, so the 12th century date falls far short in my opinion. We might be looking at at least 2500 BC. There were various earlier Ifes. The original Ife called Ife Otu might be millions of years ago for all we know, so it may account for men roaming the Earth millions of years ago. Something have to account for it. This present Ife is just a reresentation or successor, not the real thing or the original.

lawani:
At one point Earth became habitable and humans appeared. Why not Ife? The tradition of the Yoruba gave the name of the place as Ife. Though that Ife is no more and the present one is just a successor. How far back the tradition goes, no one knows.
