You are right,intertribal marriage isnt good for any tribe at all...it changes the genes and gradually destroys certain cultures and traditions...Even God warned the Israelites against it...it is better to marry from your tribe to preserve what you have PERIOD!

Thank lord you can see what I saw

Ugomba:
@HopeAtHand
you always sweat on this Igbo- Ikwerre issue.
The names of Tribes in Nigeria have long been established and There Is NOTHING like ikwerre tribe.
The "Ikwerre is Igbo" will be around even in the next 100yrs, so ur identity crisis will passed down to ur children.
Nigerians will continue to see and address Ikwerres as Igbos. No amount of concotated and false benin origin fallacy can change that.
Its una problem sha.
- Let me focus on our Anioma matters.

My brother chefuo atulu ahu....I wonder what is even spevail about the ikwerre ...oh our oil ..its $30 pb now



Let's just ignore hopeathand nwanne madu

HopeAtHand:
Op, What is Ikwerre doing on your list, is Ikwerre Igbo?? Why do some people unnecessarily court controversy. What is the legal implication of your supposition?

Nairalanders should always come across as being educated, enlightened and informed. Saying Ikwerre is Igbo or not should be argued based on the legal basis and not by deep emotional feelings. The constitution of Nigeria is/remains a guide for those people who do not understand the positions of the Ikwerre and the Igbo tribes of Nigeria. tnx

Onye ara ikwerre abiago...where is ugomba and ezepromoe

NobleAky:
what will it take you to just say CONGRATULATION and move on? Instead of this inciting comment?

I'm sure there was a time Igwe Achebe of Onitsha was the Chancellor of Unilag!

Illiteracy everywhere

Chancellor is just a ceremonial post ...the mauj thing is vice chancellor and register with provost

kennyman2000:
Hahahahahaha... Oyinbo will see these and just laugh us. Oyinbo have gone beyond these craps..

I understand we need to start somewhere but not something that'll take us backward.

This's short of nothing but backwardness.

Where you forward thinking before as a country ? If you were ...when

Abagworo:
1st unite Southeast and others follow. For now I see no unity in Southeast.

Bia ifele mee gi....is south east in war?

mordsith:
It is no longer news that a loosened broom is useless for sweeping. We cannot allow regionalist or statist to create a rift between us.
I may not be an Igbo of pure stock as others but am Igbo all the same. We have been silently pursuing our individual self-centered goals instead of pursuing the goals that will enthrone our collective interest.

Igbo Kwenu ..........


Let's use this thread to register our presence......be you Ngwa, Etche, Oyigbo, Ndokwa, Oyigbo, Ikwerre, Anioma, Ika, Ukwuani, Ogba, Ndoni, Ndoki, Egbema, Andoni, Bonny, As long as you have the proud blood of the greatest black race register and greet your kinsmen/women.

As far back as 1967 we were making rockets......now we are the first blacks to manufacture Cars and even Jet parts.

LET'S UNITE.....BECAUSE ONLY THE NDIGBO CAN REDEEM THE BLACK RACE.




Roll Call starting


Mordsith ........An Ukwuani......




Igbo kwenu



N.B: please ignore any scratched face Animal on the thread

Ka anyi jiri igbo debe

FGN just shown how stupid and clueless they are

Ebukaobi:
So the spirit of the so called defeated biafra is just a bargaining tool for Igbos?

Whenever Igbos are faced with any challenge, instead of facing it and look for solutions , they should invoke the spirit of biafra like cowards

IPOB philosophy 101

I though d banj is delivery man for brands of diamond bank and slot..why this craze with igbo man don jazzy again ...left for me.

It is not by force ..he chooses whom to perform with

Just like saying Don Moen to perform with Nicki minaj

bamdexfarms:
and who will buy the products in the south east? because most Igbo don't even live there!!!!.... if you want him to invest there, then all igbos should relocate home so that there will be market for his products.

So igbo land is deserted

truthisbittar12:
igbos are very greedy they would invest everywhere

AND YET THEY ARE MARGINALISED!!!

They are protected ting their economy and they take chunk of others

It is his money

IF Chief Duro Onabule were an Igbo man, I am sure many people would have accused him of Biaframania. Perhaps, others would have accused him of Igbocentrism because of his profound article: “Britain toys with woes of another Biafra,” published in Daily Sun of November 6, 2015. The High Chief is not Igbo, but a true Nigerian, who chose to call a spade by its name, without caring whose ox is gored.

Yes, in the article, Chief Onabule exposed the hypocrisy of Britain, regarding Nigerian situation in relation to Biafran agitation, underlining what could pass for the double standards of this former colonialist. He highlight- ed how Britain supported the independence of some countries born out of agitation. He talk- ed about Malaysia, Singapore, Sudan, Eritrea, Zimbabwe (Rhodesia), Zambia (Southern Rhodesia) and Malawi (Nyasaland), among others.

He had stated: “Obviously, only for its self-serving economic and political interests, Britain will ever muddle Nigeria’s political problems to further relics of its political past. Otherwise, why did Britain not preserve the sanctity of the national borders of the federation of Malaysia and Singapore? On the contrary, Britain granted independence to the two countries as separate nations. Similarly, why did Britain not preserve the sanctity of the national border of the federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland? Remarkably, Britain carved out three separate independent countries, namely northern Rhodesia (today’s Zimbabwe)’ southern Rhodesia (today’s Zambia) and Nyasaland (now known as Malawi). Britain’s record of experimenting with federal form of government in its colonial territories collapsed all over.

“In flaunting its so-called record of preserving Nigerian national border, Britain is engaging in diplomatic fraud. After Nigeria’s civil war, what was Britain’s record on preservation of national borders in Africa and other parts of the world? Was Britain not a major party to the enunciation of the United Nation’s principle of self-determination for citizens all over the world? Did Britain not spearhead the break-up of Sudan into two independent nations of Northern Sudan and Southern Sudan through United Nation’s principle of self-determination? Did Britain not support the break-up of erstwhile Ethiopia into the current two independent nations of Ethiopia and Eritrea through the United Nations principle of self-determination? What therefore, is peculiar in Nigeria to make its good or bad prospects a matter of life or death for Britain? Whether Nigeria will or should break up or not will and should be the mutual agreement of its various peoples, but surely NOT in any way a choice for Britain. This intruder should, therefore, shut up and keep off.”

Chief Onabule also talked about how Britain would respect fundamental human rights in treating Scotland, Wales and other components of its present day kingdom, while being harsh on the Nigerian affairs, as it concerns self-determination. Said he: “When Britain was threatened with disintegration, the response of the central authorities in London, even if in panic, was to grant substantial political autonomy to Wales and Scotland. Even then, Scotland insisted on complete independence from Britain and two years ago, only narrowly lost a referendum to that effect. Scotland unilaterally organised its referendum instead of waiting for Britain’s grace.”

Away from Britain’s pretension, Chief Onabule also went ahead to explain why “Biafra” would continue to resonate in Nigeria. For him, “Biafra” is not only about the struggle by the Igbo in South East to have a separate state, but also protest by all sections of the country, who feel cheated, at one time and another, in the nation. He recalled how the South West and North have, in the past, ex- pressed their reservations about the way they were treated in the country, saying that their misgivings could be likened to the agitation for “Biafra.”

Indeed, Chief Onabule could not have put it better. The situation in the country has made people to lose faith and, therefore, wish that they be in another republic. The Igbo, for in- stance, feel battered, bruised and clobbered. In their frustration, they hold unto Biafra as a source of hope. It could be an illusion, but they appear not to care. As it stands, the spirit if Biafra will continue to haunt Nigeria and Nigerian leaders, so long as there is marginalisation and unfair treatment of Igbo in the country. Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, ex-gover- nor of Anambra State, is right when he said that Nigerian leaders were the ones laying the foundation for Biafra. When a people are singled out for persecution and suppression, they would feel alienated. Now the Nigerians Army has issued threat of invoking the Rule of Engagement to deal with those who are marching in the streets to protest the detention of the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. In the coming days, the threat could be carried out and people who are exercising their fundamental human rights, to protest, in a non-violent way, may be shot in the streets of South East and South South. That’s the way Igbo are treated. When they do something, punitive measures are taken. When others do it, people see this as normal.

Today, everybody is hysterical about Radio Biafra. I do not have any problem with the government going after Radio Biafra, as the station is, indeed, a thorn in its flesh. However, how do we explain that some Nigerians, and indeed, those who did similar thing in the past, are now making noise about a pirate ra- dio station? At one time in Nigeria, there was Radio Kudirat, which was an anti-government organ. While it operated and attacked the Sani Abacha government, the majority of the elite in the South West, for example, praised and funded it. Now that Radio Biafra is doing the same thing, it must be wrong. Some of those who used Radio Kudirat against the Abacha government are criticising Radio Biafra. That’s the lot of the Igbo.

Make no mistake about it; I am not in any way campaigning for a sovereign state of Biafra. I can’t because in the event of the balkanisation of Nigeria, the Igbo will be the worst losers. Across the country, Igbo are the ones that have invested massively outside their geopolitical zones. Be it in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Kano, Ibadan and any major city in the country, the investments of Igbo, in property, industries and companies, run into trillions of naira. If Nigeria divides, all these will be lost. It will be lost not because it’s the convention that investments of nationals of other countries in nations other than theirs ought to be forfeited, but because Nigeria is a place where international convention and law of natural justice do not appear to mean much. What happened in Port Harcourt, for instance, after the civil war, when buildings of Igbo were declared, as “abandoned property” is an eye opener. Therefore, it’s not in the interest of the Igbo for Nigeria to divide.

However, I must add that the spirit if Biafra will continue to be invoked by Igbo because of the way they are treated in the country. When an Oba threatens Igbo with death if they vote for a candidate of their choice, which is different from the one the traditional ruler endorses, Igbo invoke Biafra. When Igbo are killed and their business premises looted in a protest caused by an article against Prophet Moham- med, which they have no hand in, the spirit of Biafra will be invoked. When Igbo cannot get Certificates of Occupancy (C of Os) for their property in some states because of the accident of their birth, the spirit of Biafra will be invoked. When close to 50 appointments are made by a president and no single Igbo man/ women from South East is among them, the spirit of Biafra will be invoked. When roads in South East are neglected and left in the most terrible condition, the spirit of Biafra will be invoked. When Igbo are told they committed political suicide by voting for their choice in a presidential election, the spirit of Biafra is invoke.

I believe that the Igbo man will prefer to be in a larger Nigeria, so that he would operate in a big territory, where he would feel more fulfilled by his accomplishments than to be a champion in a tiny enclave. What they demand is equal rights and justice. They want to be treated like others, and not as second-class citizens in their country. The government and Nigerians would kill the spirit of Biafra by addressing those things that make Igbo alienated: Fix their roads, provide electricity and security and provide enabling environment. And the mean thing: Concede the presidency to the Igbo. Yes, concede the presidency! In 1999, Nigeria conceded the presidency to the Yoruba to appease them for the June 12, 1993 fiasco, which explains why the three political parties at that time fielded only Yoruba candidates. What is wrong if such concession is made to the Igbo? Nothing wrong whatsoever. It will rather kill Biafra permanently.

obailala:
It takes only common sense for anyone to know that when you speak with such a tone, instead of being patronised, you will only force people to despise, boycott and frustrate your efforts. We need to learn how to speak and advertise ourselves without sounding arrogant.

Just look at you...Oga don't patronise ....you have never been patronising but the guys in south east are selling ...so your patronage is immaterial

Ofodirinwa:
Myth: It is widely believed that Yoruba Ex-slave Samuel Crowther was the first to write the bible in the Igbo language. The truth has been revealed that it was written by Simon Jonas, an Igbo ex-slave from Sierra Leone who gave Crowther the book due to Crowther's interest in translating the bible into african languages. It is now known that Crowther oversaw the translation of the English bible into the Yoruba language and this was the only translation he completed before dying a few months after the book was completed.




The mission to Onitsha which led to the translation was led by a group of ex slaves which included Simon Jonas (Igbo), Samuel Crowther (Yoruba) and Rev Taylor (Igbo). This is prompted by Crowther convincing the Anglican commission in Freetown and Lagos that it would be more effective to use natives to convert natives as opposed to europeans. Crowther was in Onitcha for a matter of weeks before heading off to Lokoja. Rev Taylor stayed in Onitsha and did the work that Nairalanders often credit to Crowther, who's only translation work was the Yoruba bible which he finished just before his death.

I wonder how a man that speaks Yoruba can write a bible in igbo ..does it makes sense ...all these people


I know that Samuel story is a scam

Originalsly:
Not a car guy...but I'll take you up on this point. Are you saying the weight on the back wheels in acceleration from stop would be greater than the weight on the front wheels?... in a car with front mounted engine? Have you ever seen a car with the engine taken out?... that should give you an idea of its weight and would nullify the point you made in this s section.

Oga it is simple mechnics... The axle balances the weight of the car unlike front wheel where the whole weight of the car is on...the engine puts pressure but in back wheel the weigh is distributed

The engine acts as an engine
The rear acts as a propeller


Did you see the balance and weight distribution and this makes the car more balanced

talk is cheap....learn how to appreciate good thing...and lesson 2...Never you compare a brand new car with a Nigerian used and never you talk down on innovation...I am done with you


Go get the Nigerian used car...be mindful of the engines...look at the exhuast to notice the smoke then look also at oil droping from the gaskets...this is the type of advise I will give to a junior brother buying his first car.


good luck and bye

THE GUY IS IKARE BLACK
THE WIFE IS PURE DARK


HOW COME THE BABY COME FAIR? PEOPLE HAVE STARTED SAYING NA IGBO BOY KNACK HIM WIFE......BUT BLEACHING IS BAD BE IT ADULT OR BABY

Totfulguy:
I observe with disgust and repulsion the exhibition of a low self esteem by people who seem to have made a covenant with cream that bleach the skin. The saddest part of this misadventure is the fact that in spite of the poor result from the use of "skin toning" (bleaching) cream, there appears to be a mass migration in that direction by people who just want to be "white". Just to put things in perspective, MAN CANNOT FIX WHAT GOD HAS MADE and at all times, we are made in the best way we could be by God. The above truth can be seen in the FACT that 99% of the time, we see most "bleaching project" fail and the effort to "fix" what the adventurer (victim) considers a problem often goes south and the results are nothing but regret even if expressed or shrouded in an "all-is-well facade.
But this is not the focus of this message, it is the most reprehensible act of abuse by parents who also apply their "skin toning" (bleaching) cream on their babies. I have overheard a mother who said she needed her baby to be as "white" as her neighbor's child. Not long thereafter, her baby started looking "toned" (but in an awful way). It is not an act of love to apply skin-toning (bleaching cream) on a child, in a bid to force a child to be "white". It is abuse. Our parents raised us with Vaseline and palm kennel oil and (to God's glory) we turned out well. We did not become failures because our parents raised us the skin God gave us. Indeed we are better for it. I could compare the skin remodeling adventure by parents on the children to a gender reassignment surgery by people who felt they were born in the wrong body. Parents should let they children keep their natural skin. We do not have to be "white" and "whites" don't want to be us. My black skin is a beautiful organ to be preserved and protected, and not to be washed away. You will get to the "white" skin only when you bleach the "black". If that is anything to go by, which skin is richer?

OK
