I want to categorically say that I am disappointed with the response of many Igbos on this thread.

Firstly, Igbo doesn't start and end in the South East.

Secondly, the area called Onitsha today includes the following places: Ogbaru,Obosi,Nkpor,Nkwelle. How can the Igwe of Onitsha be more important than the Igwes of the aforementioned towns.

Thirdly, every Igbo town is as important. Therefore, we must respect the culture and tradition of others. We mustn't see them as bush people or inferior.

Lastly, Igbos should unite and build a common front. Politics in Nigeria is a game of number. We must unite with our brothers in the so called South south( a geographically impossible location).

Last bullet: no igbo town is superior to the other. Respect!

Please, could anyone be kind as to tell us again what the benefits of Buhari's relocation of the Abuja military outpost to Borno have been so far? Because I remember his declaration brought him so much praise from his overzealous, starry-eyed supporters, calling him "a president who leads from the front".
"Wonderful! For the first time, Nigeria now has a president we can be proud of," so I heard.

Well, the bombs are still going off in Borno. The bombs are still going off in Abuja. The soldiers are still getting overpowered by Boko haram militants in Yobe, and since there's no GEJ to blame for "lack of reliable weapons," our resident snake-charming Kim Burantai Kardashian now blames "cowardice". How sweet.

Our president who had promised to lead from the front, now leads with body language. The simple tasking of even creating a cabinet has become a seasonal movie. Mr. Hit-The-Ground-Running really hit the ground shattering. It took him 4 months to compile a list of known crooks and prehistoric cavemen, selling his repackaged feces to his gullible zombies as change. I dey laugh.

Perhaps what I even find most ironic is the fact that his DSS could storm the Akwa Ibom government house based on "intelligence reports" on the presence of weapons, but couldn't receive "intelligence reports" on the terrorists that were about to bomb Nyanya.

What a hilariously tragic irony, this APC.

Buhari is a fat foool

Tex42:
Well, I don't know if u are igbo, Anambrian or not, but what u stated Is the fact. we should stop celebrating national treasury looters, especially when they are one of own. If we must have a Biafra that is devoid of Farudsters cum leaders, then now is the time to start criticizing the illicit actions of our leaders.

If Allison is guilty of her crime, let her face the full course of justice otherwise she can walk a free and vindicated woman.

Not even sure the south-south is with us.

Please, does anyone have true knowlegde of the igbo customary law regarding inheritance, especially on the side of the youngest son?

I heard that the youngest son in the igbo family is the one to inherit all the deceased mother's property.

Let me be clear, i am from Imo state, i am the youngest son in my family; a family of three males and five females. My parents are late and my mother owned a big shop at the market which my sister gained access to because she was the only one closest to my mother. She is currently collecting the rent bill, though she does not depend on the shop, for she has her own well ballanced source of income.

Despite my financial problems, this my wicked sister does not want her kobo to fall on my lap, she decides to play favour only on the side of her husband. However, i do not care for her money. I only care for my inheritance.

Now, i'm being urged by people around me to go for the shop.

Should i sue her? Am i to go to her with my family elders?
I need your advise please!

ronald4lif:
Don't know about Imo but in my hometown in Anambra the last male-child is the one who inherits the property and every acquisition of their mum. I'm guessing it should be same in Imo as Igbos have a common tradition in many visages.

Urhobo Eulogizes Igbo, Says Igbo are The salt of The nation how Much Respect Do You Show Igbos?I am not Igbo. I am proud of my Urhobo. However, as a student of history, I wish to show just what these great people came/come against and yet thrive. Okay, the incessant killings in the North will be glossed over so as to make this article not overly long. The civil war will also not be discussed. However, post civil war, as I explained in my post MINORITY REPORT: THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST YOU, the rich in Nigeria have major roots in the Indegenization decree of 1972 and 1977.I reminded how the banks gave people of other tribes, predominantly Hausas and Yorubas loans to by up companies owned by foreigners. Now imagine the Federal government forced Chevron to sell 51 percent of its shares and that Access Bank will give you loans to buy the shares. How rich will you be in a year? 5 Years? That is how many Yorubas and Hausas got to own UAC, all those Dunlop, Leventis, Cadbury etc. Now while this was ongoing, Gowon told the Nigerian banks to give TOPS twenty naira to any Igbo man that had money in the bank before the war. That is, if you had 5 naira before the war, you will be given the 5 naira. But if you had a hundred naira, you get just twenty naira in full fulfilment of the banks duty to give you your money. Ask yourselves “why would the banks give Igbos only twenty naira? Did the banks collapse? So why pay less than you were given?So while the banks were giving loans to Hausa and Yorubas to buy Oyibo companies they did not build, Igbos were being cheated out of their rightful moneys. Now not also that these people lost Houses and business across the land. It is safe to say that as at 1970/71. the richest Igbo had 20 naira that may be the equivalent of maybe one million. Let us look at how Dangote made his money. He Dangote (a great man and pride to Nigeria) has an uncle called Dantata who owned huge chunks of the groundnut pyramids of the 50’s and 60’s. He gave Dangote a loan and Dangote paid it back in record time. CLAP CLAP. The add that Dangote has had his “brothers” in government, from IBB to Abacha and Abdulsalaam. When they now agreed to democracy, he was rich enough to have funded Obasanjo and so government policies, be it monopoly afforded him for rice, sugar flour and of course a large share of subsidy etc ensures he is the wealthiest Nigerian. (note many had same opportunity but did not use it. We kowtow to Dangote’s investment capabilities)However, for the Igbo man, where will he see an uncle that will loan him money? The richest man in their family has how much as at then? So while Fani Kayode can inherit property of his father and grandfather and great grand father, a Chidi Cali cannot inherit anything from his grandfather who had business in Kano or even Port Harcourt. Neighbours have made his dad’s storey building theirs, and even someone as educated as Saro Wiwa lived in an Igbo war emigrant house as his. (a sore point of the Niger Delta and Igbo Unity) WAEC building was Ojukwu’s dad’s building and like that building, thousands and the land with it….lands worth billions today were taken from Igbos and each and every Igbo had tops 20 naira, destroyed homeland, stolen and destroyed wealth away from the east. also his brother is never president that will give him oil block or fuel lifting. Of 33, only one Igbo man and because he was in Obasanjo’s good graces.
YET LOOK HOW PROUD THEY STAND TODAY!!! Look what they have achieved for themselves….FIRST GENERATION WEALTH…top second generation. From being unable to send their first sons to school so he could help look after the shop, to producing first class brains in all departments of modern learning.
So today, as you accuse Igbos of wanting their Biafra or of Baby Factory, or liking money and ready to do anything for money, remember that just forty years ago, while the banks were dashing your uncles loans to buy all the companies of Nigeria, it stole from the Igbos. Know that appointments have not favoured them. Note that they remain persecuted and many speak such ill and hate towards a people forced by need to survive to be extra-aggressive towards their sustenance. Maybe if you took their history into consideration, you will not be so critical of them, but instead say “what a resilient people” and give God the glorythat FOR NOW, we and such a great people are compatriots.

You are a nigerian so automatically that makes you a fool indeed.What has BBC n CNN been reporting about nigeria? If not bombs ,boko haram, Ebola then what's else? Your stupidity clearly defines the zoo you hail from.Made in Ghana cars, more positive news about GHANA are always heard on BBC,CNN, aljazeera etc. Can that be said about your useless country. You are here celebrating because BBC n CNN are always reporting bad and negative news about your useless pathetic country? If that's the case then keep on celebrating because the stupidity of nigerians has no boundaries. Your useless country is no where near GHANA.Being Education, Health, Better road system, Democracy, Better living conditions, Etc.GHANA WAS THE FIRST COUNTRY TO GAIN INDEPENDENCE AND WILL BE THE FIRST AFRICAN COUNTRY TO BE CALLED "A DEVELOPED COUNTRY " You fools are just wasting resources. quote author=whocanbewho post=38895509] who is this one.? Your ignorance is sky high. That 'zoo country' has the biggest economy in Africa. Who goes to ghana thou? I wonder why a nigerian will be going to ghana. Nigeria has massive hope for the future, what is the hope of ghana?, we have oil and uncountable natural resources you can only dream of. Since I've been watching ccn and bbc, I've never come across any news article about ghana. That country is basically not in the news because there's nothing to talk about. When you talk of Africa, there are only 2 countries nigeria and south africa. So brother don't disrespect the king. The name nigeria that strikes fear into the heart of fellow africans.

The funny thing is you and your irks say Ghana is wack and this and that. Na winch force you there abi? Nobody forces you raccoons there. So why don't you stay in your country. From the average civilian, to politicians and celebrities all of ya'll run to Ghana. Why not Benin or Cameroon, Liberia, SL, Togo etc but no always Ghana. If it's such a modafucking bad place why are you there.

Nigerians are funny ppl I swear. This one guy told me that he hates Ghana. Ghana is dirty this and that. So I asked him why doesn't he go back to Nigeria. He was like me. Go back to Nigeria. For what. Ghana is my home now. It's easy for me to go to Nigeria anytime. I was thinking in my head this fucker is bonkers. You complaining about a country yet you still don't want to go back to your own country. That means that as 'bad' as Ghana is you still would prefer to stay here. I can never understand smh

If pre 92 films are not nollywood? what are they? Hollywood? Bollywood or Ghollywood? Living in bondage was produced in Igbo language, so was Yoruba films produced before it. You don't even have a single film on celluloid and cinema, we have produced tons both on cinema and VHS many years before you guys even ventured. We started the film business in all ramifications 30 years before the Igbos even conceptualized it. How many Igbo language films do you guys even have? It can be counted by the fingers.

mart2k:
I guess u b ibo. Can u compare Yorubafilms wit ibo films? Yoruba fims ar far better, infact ibo dnt even av much native films unlike Yoruba. I op uar aware that English Nollywood is not for ibo, we av Yoruba, hausa and other tribes there too. Ibo films ar films where they speak ibo language then subtitle it in english in case u dnt know'same thing goes for hausa and yoruba flms. In fact, ibo is d least among d 3 major tribes that produce indigenous films. I op u receive d lecture well
