Isiterere:
I still finding it so hard to understood why Igbo lacks agenda and leadership. Even goats and sheep do have a leader.

ALL IZZ WELL

That's why goat and sheep are animals because they lack rational thinking like you people and thanks for buffering and buttresing that point

Igbo look at things logically so they can't have herd or flock mentality like you people

Wise men have a way of coming from east

eyeview:
You are very on point. Most yorubas will be quick to compare lagos with most south east states. They forget that Lagos before independence was purely a british colony(the rest were protectorates). Hence the british developed it suitable for their comfort,after independence it became the FCT. But if any want to be fair in comparison,let him place enugu against ibadan,or abakiliki against ado-ekiti or owerri against akure, or the buildings guys are building in their south east villages against the red mud houses they have all abandoned in their south west villages to claim lagosians.

They know the truth

lagos was developed by oil money not gbegiri and cocoa money

nortcentrallord:
Most igbo's are enlightened thus they always ask the question "why" and "how" hence they were ruled by direct rule in pre-colonial days and the whites never liked them because of this.

Most Hausa's are stack illiterates thus when they eat and have a woman to sex, they never care about the question "why" or "how"
Hence the where ruled indirectly through their religious leaders in pre-colonial days.

Most Yoruba's are noise makers and very scared when backed upon but I just don't know what they stand for. If Awolowo had not declared a free education for them when he lived, believe me, they would have still lived in the 50's and would have been worst than the lapdogs of the hausa's today. Apologies for the once with good brains in their head.

I was thinking that i was the only one with that observation

Because of your dat you will throw away culture


You want to be more catholic than pope

Nashoji:
with the kind of comments I have seen here, I wonder how these so called people clamouring for corruption free country wants it to happen.

what I see here is any revelation made against your own affiliated candidate is a propaganda from the opposition party. why can't you guys come down and take a critical look at the documentary to know if there is any atom of truth in it?
you guys think that AIT did not access the documentary before airing it?

with somebody being tried before and not found guilty doesn't automatically turns that person to saint or corruption free. how is this corruption going to be fought if we keep on thinking like this?

From my deduction i have come to see that majority of folks from south west lack deductive reasoning

Instead of sitting back and have a rethink how they are been used and embarrased they are herr making fool of themselves

Next they will say its igbo


Dont argue with them ...they are sophisticated

This is to show how daft and stupid tinubu is

Now let's assume that AIT stops

Will that idiot sue Facebook YouTube and other media that is uploading that


That tinubu should be ashamed


How did Yoruba people allow themselves to be used irrespective of their so called sophistication

Yet I have not seen a single top yoruba condemn it. Are they okay with tinubu ....


The way people act and reason is baffling

tempest69:
Am an Igbo man and father mbaka spoke for the common man in every nook and cranny of this country. " those Igbo's that are in support of GEJ only support him because they think he is their brother AZIKIWE. Sorry to disappoint you all that they Niger Delta plotted our downfall from gaining biafra. Besides GEJ could not be trusted and I will advise the Igbo nation not to put their egg into one basket.

Efulefu

They have asked for forgiveness

Must every one and region support bunch APC

Your stupid

Igbo are not supporting Jonathan cos he is igbo ...igbo are supporting him for various reason


Stop claiming igbo

bigfrancis21:
Amalunweze - Who knows the King's child?

Agbatulenye - Correction - Agbatuluenyi The Elephant was knocked down. A name often given to one who accomplishes/is known for accomplishing great feats.

Igwenagu - King of the forest.

Oseloka - God thinks greatly (for me). Other similar Igbo names are Chinelo, Chinecherem, Uchechukwu/Elochukwu.

Idei - Pillar.

Dakwasienyi - Lean/fall on the elephant.

Akukalia - Excess of riches.

Akupueome - Riches that has roots/came out from somewhere. 'Ome' is the new tender growth of plants.

Mmilililienyi - The water that drowned the elephant.

By virtue of its size, the elephant is used to symbolize one in Igboland who is great in his endeavours and accomplishes feats worthy of recognition.

Alll these praise names in anambra
Afa otutu

bigfrancis21:
Nwanne, ife melu ife anunwa bu na afa onicha/anambra e fesago n'ani Igbo niine. Typical Onicha/Anambra names like Ifeanyi, Ifunanya, Nkeiru, Oluchi, Elochukwu, Dozie, Chinelo, etc. have spread over Igboland and are borne by Igbos all over Igboland, thus it might be rare to find names borne by Onicha people alone. Such names might still exist though.

So onitsha brought those names ...I wonder how you people talk

Why is she unleashing her frustration on me.. i made a general observation and never said only Imo were guilty but she didnt see that part. shows how much she hates anambra and couldnt stand the blow...I am proud of being Igbo that is why i had the guts to go on facebook and fight chino for embarrasing Igbos by calling Imo girls prostitutes and derailing Imo and Anambra thread and unlike a wannabe peacemaker i took the war on him to facebook and not on nl inorder to be called a good girl. an act he punished me for by exposing my pics but the shame was theirs because i'm not the ugly beast they expected to see. anaghimewe ziwe afterall anyi no na lent...

An slowpoke that doesn't know the road to her village and probably dating or married a Fulani man calling someone efulefu. Ina di Ihu ka arlusi Okija.

She quickly brought up the stupid clannish accusations as a result of random experiences. O bu odiri agwa mere ndi ozo ji achiri ndi igbo ochi. Ihe obu otu anyi ga esi e bi na biafra?

yu re the one derailing frm the topic of this thread,
if yu want unity of ndigbo dnt point a finger to a particular state or tribes..
we re igbos and nutin differentiate us except bit differences in our dialects and communications..

The thread said igbo language re gradually going into extinctions and yu re here pointing fingers to an imo or abia most common there, and yu said yu dnt like the e war going on with anambra nd imo in imo thread..
did yu read what yu wrote b4 posting it ?
Though i knw u re speaking frm experience but two imo victims including ur inlaws cant make yu commit fallacy of hasty generalization.

what if i tell yu the opposite,wil i judge the whole/most anambrarians for that? no

so nxt time,be an igbo girl first b4 yur state..

Nice submission

I owe no one an apology for saying the truth. I said majority of Igbos are guilty but its common with them. The same hypocrite have never confronted the imolites who go to their thread to insult us or the Imo guy who once opened a thread to call Anambra boys drugpushers, a crime other Igbos and tribes are guilty of. Till the thread ended i didn't see anyone asking the guy to apologise. Or the Imo girl who joined girls from other tribes to insult Anambra boys saying they are illiterates that's why they don't marry from other tribes. You and i know its not true. Its not a hidden fact that they dislike us but i don't argue with them anymore.

Ihuomadinihu:
The 'wanna gonna' syndrome is a good way of identifying Igbos living outside of Igboland. I know lots of people especially Mbaise,Oguta and Owerri that have put so much efforts in teaching their Kids. Her claims are simply unfounded.

Don't say unfounded cos she talks from expirence

I am an anambra man born raised in imo and married delta igbo and I know the shortcomings of these places but one thing is that anambra are proud of their culture and language and I think imo are proud of their heritage but a bit relaxed on tgeir language due to many dialect like uguta mbise ohaji orlu even okigwe

So what we should do is encourage igbo

Peppyluv:
Let her get angry and insult me,truth is bitter and I'll keep saying it. Majority of Igbos prefer to speak English but they are more guilty.

Ihuomadinihu:
There is no doubt that some misguided Igbos outside of igbo land find it difficult to speak igbo when they meet one another, irrespective of state origins. I just can't stand the clannish tone of that post.

I will give you an example
I went to a conference in Budapest I met this guy doing security in department store i knew he was igbo but he was trying to form and me I came for shopping ...in eastern Europe he was speaking gonna wanna ...I just ignored him

The monkey was fronting eastern African ..this was octoberr last year

scholes0:
Although this is possible, I doubt very much that you are speaking the truth... granted, there are Yoruba Americans that speak just English, but a good number of yorubas born in America or the UK usually speak and understand the language.... but it might just be the ones you have met, so who knows......
In Nigeria- more than 90% I dare to even say 95% of all Yoruba can speak and understand the language, and it has a lot of non-Yoruba who speak it as a lingua franca in places like Edo Kogi and Kwara, or living within the 6 core SW states, that is why their local home video industry and music industries are booming.... I think that is the key to preservation of a language.

On the other hand, I hardly see non-Igbos speaking igbo unless there is some sort of direct linkage. it's almost as if they are reluctant to teach the language, even to people who are genuinely interested in learning it, why is that? I asked someone once, and he told me it was because of various dialectal differences, my other friend said it's simply because when igbos move out of the SE for the first time, they discover the strength of other Nigerian languages and all of a sudden they feel their own language is not "complete", or that it sounds "somehow"- either way, I think Igbos should be proud in disseminating their culture.... props to rappers like Phyno and vocalists like Flavour for taking Igbo to the next level

I think the main difference between Igbos and Yorubas-Hausas is philosophy and outlook towards life, a saying goes, that you can take the man out of Yorubaland, but you can not take the Yoruba out of a man, that is the main reason their culture and elements of their language have survived in the Americas till date- while those of most other African groups in the diaspora have completely disappeared, or is just barely visible. The same goes for the Hausa folks. Igbos however take a new coat of painting depending on the environment they find themselves in- not saying there are no exceptions though.
If you take a random survey among residents of ENUGU and residents of IBADAN - about the use of Igbo and Yoruba languages respectively in the daily lives, you might be surprised by the results.

Jee mee ikpu nne gi advice

Ihuomadinihu:
This is Stupid and pathetic. The Crux of the matter is the downward trend of Igbo language amongst the ''Igbos of Nigeria'' and someone is insulting Imo people!!
The scenario you described could have come from an Imo,Anambra or a SS Igbo. One personal experience is not enough to make a hasty conclusion. I sometimes wonder how Biafra could have turned out in present times. A land of endless state and clan rivarly? Apparently not different from Nigeria.
People like you make Igbos a laughing stock in Nigeria. Sorry for the Efulefus that liked the trashy comment!
Besides, Chimamanda is not the only female writer that has represented the Igbo race. We had Flora Nwapa(Imo) and Buchi Emecheta(Anioma). They were one of the first female writers from Africa. Lock up your prejudices when people are discussing a general Igbo problem/issue!
