Ibiakwa. ....agu kedu ije


Lol

Your not ibo but Igbo

ArodewilliamsT:
Pure Igbo and diluted Igbo crap. The most Intelligent person i know in Africa is an Igbo from Delta.

Is Philip emeagwali ...the African with the highest IQ

He is from anambra

CHoccolaTE:
Please, please and please, tribalists keep away from this thread, this is not intended to be a tribe bashing thread, just meant to point out something good and acknowledge it.

I've had many Igbo friends and neighbours and acquaintances in my life and one thing I noticed about majority if them is that they are very intelligent. Crazy intelligent.
intact the smartest people I've come across are Igbo, not saying other tribes are not also smart but Igbo's clearly stand out. That's even a major reason why I draw myself close to them.

Note: Delta Igbos are NOT part of the Igbos I am referring to. The Delta Igbos in my opinion have features similar to Urhobos, Ijaws and other Delta tribes.
My thread is referring to pure Igbo's from the East, Imo, Abia, Anambra etc. I like them for their intelligence that stands out.
And their hardworking, enterprising natures.
Also, their men really know how to be there when their family needs them and the women keep the family together, through all odds, thick and thin. You hardly hear of divorces from that tribe.
I've had nothing but luck with my Igbo friends. They challenge you to be competitive and force you to wisen up and be smart. And they give great advice as well when you need it.
Note again that Delta Igbos are not part of the Igbos this thread is talking about. Infact I don't regard Delta Igbos as real Igbos, their way of thinking and behaving is just like the deltas I grew up with in Delta State.

I am not Igbo, before some people come here and start accusing me of hyping my own tribe.

Just showing love to my Igbo brothers and sisters,

Pls note there is nothing like pure Igbo or not brother ....


Well I appreciate this and know wise men come from east most times

MayorofLagos:
Kabba is in the Yoruba Commonwealth. We can never ever deny our brothers and sisters, for good or bad.

Say I will never deny not we

Because your people have denied them already


Your just a lone voice sir

ziddy:
This is simple.

The shift in crime statistics occurred when the criminals were flushed out of the south east, which used to be their base approximately five years ago. What these statistics has neglected to state (because the pollsters need to be politically correct) is that a disproportionate number of the perpetrators of these horrible crimes are Ibo criminals, driven out of their home bases by productive engagement between their state executive arm and the security agencies.

Southwest APC executives are busy embezzling their own security votes, while they divert their state resources to the private tax regime imposed by by the APC national leadership.

The beauty of life is that God continues to judge every one of us by the works of our hands. Every single account will be settled, including the hidden ones.

I think it is reverse migration the criminals migrated from west and igbos chased them away where they came from


Don't you think so

SLIDEwaxie:

Wetin dey kabba wey person wan dey claim?

Have you heard anyone name kabba as part of the Yoruba states?

Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, osun, oyo, ekiti...


Like I said, we dnt claim everywhere because they speak out language.

I said it again ....


I will get a new handle ..Nostradamus. Aka the man who saw tomorrow

ChinenyeN:
What positives? Izugbe only has one purpose, to facilitate communication between Igbo speakers. That's the sole reason for the artificial creation, and that's the only thing it does well. Beyond that, Izugbe does not supersede the dialects.

Was Igbo izugbe artificially created ? I thought it evolved

scholes0:
Na waa o...
So how does google translate Igbo work/operate then? How useful is it as a resource for people interested in Learning "street Igbo" ?

Google Igbo translation is whack

Who are the Igbo guys that even wrote that software for em

dhc:
I bear an ibo name unfortunately, but I'm from Ika "Agbor" in Delta.The person you are trying to correct is more accurate than you in miles.The statement in bold is wrong.I am not ibo and would NEVER EVER EVER like to be regarded as a part of that disgustingly accented and crafty tribe.

You are not Igbo even if you are ..you are the type that bring shame to Igbo names ...aturu

Onegai:
Proudly Deltan, married Delta, keeping the bloodlines pure

For those Ika with Igbo names, please check History: our grandparents answered names corresponding to Bini. But by the mid-60s, when Deltans came to Lagos, they didn't want to be a small group and named their children Igbo names and joined Igbo communities. My 104 year old grandmother and Father mapped our family tree and showed me all the names and explained this to me. So with your kids, find old Ika names like Utomi, Irabor, Isioma, Osadebey, Sombiri, Bienose, Arimolo, Onyiwelehim, Ikubor, Mekihien, Nosareme, Eronime, Erumoh, Nwaka, Ahagbulem, Ehimen, Iziegbe, Eterumeh etc and keep our traditions alive and pure.

New twist. Revisionism . so did the change of name affected the culture also ....why do they have Igbo market days in ika ..did the Lagos mob follow them to ika to change their market days to eke afor etc...maybe the Lagos mob forced their king also to use Obi or dein - dee which is an Igbo term


Nawa for lies shaa...u are not good at twisting history
Now give us a better lies

Maybe Igbo colonised ika
Maybe Igbo women forced their men to change their names


Is that your grand mum silly ?

For your information 96% of those names you mentioned are basically Igbo


Benin wannabe


Identity crisis



So why don't you answer Benin names almost all the names you wrote are Igbo names

Odadebey is pure Igbo and all other names


Find another lie

aleem50:
What is this one saying again for goodness sake. Why bringing igbo to this?Igbos are achievers, as if other tribes in Nigeria doesn't have successful people. Deltans ain't cocaine pushers(biafrans),deltans are real Nigerians and we love them. When I say we I mean the entire North,SS and SW.

Which one is deltans is it igbos in delta ...who introduced kidnapping in Nigeria again via the creeks

With all the billions pumped into delta state ..what have they achieved from it. I think delta has the capacity to be a world class state

Only if they will .. .

favouredon:
biafra kwa? people wey dey reject u say u no be original Igbo? I be confirmed Delta ( Oshimili North) but tufiakwa to their Biafranism

And who told you that he is not original Igbo ...



It is only the Benin rejects that were exiled in anioma are not the original Igbo and we know them not ukwuani pure blood


So find another gist

Aturu

Who knows you....why don't you just shut up...must you shout

Enwe ika

size40:
My dear, there is nothing like SS Igbo. Igbo is Igbo. Efik is Efik. Ijaw is Ijaw. Ikwerre is Ikwerre. Ogoni is Ogoni. Kalabari is Kabari. Okirika is Okirika etc. Am a complete Rivers man. From Emohua LGA of Rivers state. So keep ur Biafra to yourself. We don't want it. We don't want to associate with something we don't know about. Short and simple. Fight ur Biafra fight and leave us alone. The 5 states in the south East can be a country. After all, how big do u think Gabon is? The size of Gabon is far less than the 5 Eastern states.

So are you saying that we don't have Igbo on your phantom Niger delta...these minorities can be funny


Biafra or no Biafra ..what matters is that we have Igbo in edo delta river and even the fringes of bayelsa...do you want me to call villages



Mr we the Niger delta

AdmiralDru:
I hate that car and anything Toyota. They are just too slow.

Same with me ..Toyota cars are whack ...might manage Lexus


But if God bless my hutsle ....I am done with Japanese ...strictly European cars


Ever driven a Benz before? Try c class and you will understand handling

But now let me be managing that my good Nissan

tenry:
And a friend just bought the car on 30th Sept, landed cost from Cotonue to Nigeria 1m and it was 1999 model. He said the 1999 model moves faster than 2001 and 2002 and that 1999 model has good absorber than 02 and 03 model. How true?

Is he Hamilton the racer

GAZZUZZ:
Some Nigerian used cars are way better than rusted tokumbor cars in cotonu. Worst case scenario you change engine and suspension parts. Think about it.

That's all. God bless you for this . I don't buy cars based on engine. ..Nigerian used cars are cheap and neat. The best thing is just don't bother doing anything in the engine just buy another engine or half engine put simple change the shocks and bearing

I buy car based on body and interior not engine ..you can't change chassis but can change engine
That camry is 400k in Nigeria used one that is very clean allshe will do is just put like 100k or less in it. She has saved 300k


For Christmas sake this is 2000 model car and its old
Why spend more

siamia:
@tony
Hmmm.... Thanks for identifying urself as married.
As for ur other statements abt the single life...a bird being free?...not owing anybody explanation
I kind of like the idea of being accountable to someone, especially if ur married to ur friend.

@toks
Single, never married. Not divorced, not widowed. Not uncomfortable with ur questions. and yeah, single mom.

Yeah daerie...I am a man that loves been open ..anyway marriage to me or family life suits women more than men

You know the nags
The expectations
The must do and must do not


Must eat madam dinner or you will be accused of eating in her place

You must be at the church on Sunday or you will be looked at unbeliever
Must take your girl for a walk once in a week or you will be seen as not bonding
Must know everything so that madam and baby will look up to you
Must be strong so that the family must lean on you
Must not show emotional softness so that the family can be strong


MUST NOT LOOK AT THAT PRETTY LADY ARSE SO THAT YOU WILL NOT BE NAGGED
MUST NOT HAVE LADIES IN WHATSAPP CHAT OR UNBURDEN TO ANY LADY FRIEND
MUST NOT SLEEP ALONE IN YOUR OWN ROOM AND MADAM IN HER ROOM

must always call madam when your on business and oversea trip

So many must and must



So you see been single is a good thing and it makes you free . you can even smoke in your living room and have fun..but when she is there ....you dare not


Oh I forget must make madam upto date otherwise people will see that your not trying


Missed my singlehood

Toks2008:
Quite hilarious,insightful and interesting.

Thanks for dropping by.

Got to sleep now guys.

Remember that life is not designed to be fair to anyone but it is our responsibility to grab the best out of it. Oda ro

Take care Bro or sis


How was the celebration

Toks2008:
One big reason why i love this thread is because for the first time mature minds and age are having a thread that will be geared towards networking and socializing because honestly im fed up with mixed threads where teenagers and adolescents just relate with you as though you are mates with them and a boy of 20 will be cursing a 40year old as though they are mates..

It may interest many to know that the best place to hook up(not date) is online and when i create a thread explaining why then you all will agree with me.

The quality of ladies i have hooked up with as friends online have surpassed the trial and error offl;ine friends and i believe with a thread like this,people can find true friendship and taking it to the next level will be a discretionary.

Your correct ...I am not single but I think your correct and I enjoy the calmness in this thread ...it shows that a lot of kids are on nairaland .one can't even make comment without been insulted and most time you get to know their age by writing style ...another matured thread is car section and real estate ...forget politics that place is whack

I think there should be section as in age in nairaland


Yes I hated seasame street but loved speed racer .. Just 36 with lively family

I don't believe in age notion. To be frank cos I have seen 43 yr old man reason like 21 yr old so I do not respect people based on age but on reasoning. I expect people to respect me bases on the same


The problem we seem to have in Africa is that we attach too much respect to age and that is what is drawing us back .


A child that is well traveled is wiser than an old man that stayed at home all his life ...igbo adage

I love this thread....I feel been single isn't a curse...ask us that have family ..at a point you just can't have your privacy ..your been marooned and dictated .today one in-law tomorrow tehy will say don't you know your married ...society expects you to behave certain way ...you have lost your privacy


Been single is been akin to a bird very free...you can have cookies and crunchies for dinner and you don't owe anybody explainatiob why you won't eat her food....and the women ..hmmm they will come


But happy independence

So some monkeys are really blaming Igbos? Hahahahah

*falls down from pepper tree*

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Chineke moooo, ana m anu akuko banyere ndia, taa taa ka m huru eziokwu. Hahahahaha

Mehnnn, lemme gerara here.

You aint seen nothing yet

ArodewilliamsT:
You are very correct, the fulanis can not do that, it is those greedy Ibo cattlemen that wore fulani regalia and captured the Oba of yorubas in kogi. It was also the Ibo that killed Oba Afonja in illorin installed Emir sulu-gambari's forefathers over yoruba.
Ibo people want to install an Emir Bulu-gambari in kogi like they did in kwara. This Ibo herdsmen sef.

Cc: anambradota, tonychristopher, onenaira3

I know they will call Igbo ...that's predictable


If they don't have erection they will also call Igbo

If their wives period is irregular don't look further they will call Igbo

.inshort everything is Igbo.even Igbo masquerades chase them in dream

So ignore them

GentleToks:
I said it here couple of days ago that Igbos are behind all these kidnappings.

They are using some uneducated Almajiris/Fulanis to carry out this barbaric act so as to pinch Your basket against the Northerners.

It's obvious......

Go on Facebook and see how Yorubas, Hausas, Fulanis,Kanuris and SS people are condemning a politician who has done wrong in unison while Igbos are the only one painting the same person as a saint so as to spite Yorubas.

Very predictable response and I am not surprised


Lol

They will shout shange or change

Habakus:
Guy,I tell you,if you were near me the kind of heavy slap I for woze you ehh... Your brain go reboot immediately.
You are utterly sha*meless and a hope*less coward for posting this kind of rubbish.
I spit on you. Shame on you! Tufiakwa! I've never seen this kind of spineless coward before.

But I have predicted and it has come to pass

tomakint:
Ab initio, I thought Port Hacourt weed is weird but I am more than convinced that Katsina weed precisely the one grown in Daura is more potent and noxious....I thought the change mantra is a look away from the status quo, because how do you explain Amaechi, Fashola and Dambazzu (corrupt polithiefcians and soldier) making the first batch of a self-styled anti-corruption crusader ministerial list Sai Buhari, I need your Daura weed to be high. You ain't fighting corruption like a crusader.

Do you believe that change thing

OK if you believe


What has changed
