Another Igbo boy putting Igbo in global map

Mrs Jimoh Mulikat Adebukola and her six-year-old twins were caught at Lagos Airport carrying 4.050 kg of substance confirmed as cocaine. She concealed 3.350kg in almost every part of her body, including on her chest and underwear.

She also used her innocent six years old twins to carry about 700 grammes of the illicit drugs. Spokesman of the NDLEA, Mitchell Ofoyeju, quoted Mrs Jimoh as saying:
“I have problem of my children’s school fees. I have six children and I intend to give them good education. I also have younger ones and aged parents to take care of. They asked me to swallow the drugs, but I was afraid, that is why I packed them in my body.”

Now that she is going to prison, how will she pay the school fees? People really need to be wise!

I keep coming back here expecting to see SW and north floor this page with their residential neighborhood since they are the ones that started the dick measuring comparison but what I see is either them trying to change topic, trying to divert attention away and the ones that do try to catch up either post 3D model pics, government project or the newest latest one art project by a USA artist
The latest excuse I now see is from the wizkid, wizboy or wizguy or whatever he calls himself saying and I quote "we would not post south west picture because look at thread it is talking about eastern area"
If Una knew that why did you people shamelessly invade the thread to dick measure. Let's be real, y'all invaded because Una thought you'll win and after getting the @ss whupping of a lifetime, calling it @ss whupping is even an understatement, this was a slaughter, Una are now saying whatever you can think of to save face

Next time don't start sh1t Una can't finish
Hope to see more government projects, 3D models and usa arts from Una. LMFAOOO. Kudos to forgiveness, at least that nigg@ tried.

The next big thing coming to the SE- Greenwood City under-construction in Awka. Well paved wide roads/streets with walk-ways and green-lawn.

The cream dela cream of the SE are already scrambling to have their foot-print on the world class city. I heard recently that Emeka Anyaoku, Ibeto, Emeka Offor, Ifeanyi Uba, Stella Odua etc have already acquired some part of the massive zone for hospitality, up-scale homes, high-end event centers, high-rises office spaces etc, also the headquarters of Orient Petroleum will be sited in the area.

So on point

SOME WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOST THEIR REAL ORIGIN.
BUT JUST DO YOUR THOROUGH RESEARCH YOU WILL COME TO KNOW THE TRUTH OF THIS HISTORY YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ.

Who are the Edo people?

EDO, is what you can describe as the "generic name given to a group of people who have a common ancestor and have a common language, with some different variants, depending on the distance between the group and the " tap root, " resident in and around the present day Benin City. In short, the land, the political state, the people, tribe, language and the principal city -Benin City is called EDO. At a point in the history of these people, another name called BENIN came into use. These Edo-speaking people are divided into the following clans today:

a) " BINI " derived from the word Benin for people living in and around Benin City, in Edo State. People living in and around Benin City, are gradually accepting the word BINI, as descriptive of their clan. Otherwise, they prefer to be simply called EDO.

b) ESAN/Ishan-for the immediate neighbor to the north are people living in around Irrua, Orhodua, Uromi, Ubiaja, Ewu, Ewatto, Igueben and the almighty Evbohimwin (Ewohimi))" the city by the big river " or " the city of Ikhimwin trees " etc.

c) The Afemais known as IVBIOSAKON by those living in and around Benin City to the north of Ishan/Esan clan.

d) Akoko-Edos based in Igarra, Ibillo and its environs to the north of Afemais.

e) The Owans-ORAS occupying Eme, Sabogida-Ora, Afuze, etc. Uhobe (SOBE) and Ifon in Ondo State.

f) Ekas-to East of Benin. A sizeable chunk of the Edo speaking people flow across River Niger and ending at ONITSHA.

g) Isoko, Urhobo, Itsekiris and about 70% percent of western Izon (Ijaws) in Ndegeni and its environs

h) A sizeable chunk of the Edos is found in River States and Balyesa States e.g. Ogba land and Diobu, Port Harcourt.

i) A sizeable chunk has been " Yorubanised in Ondo, Ekiti, Lagos and Ogun States. The descendants of Edo soldiers stationed in Akure are referred to today as ADO-AKURE (Edo ne ’kue) There are many Edos in Ekiti land, Idoani, Idanre etc going through life in Nigeria with Yoruba names. Acculturation has taken place. You are either a Yoruba man or you go nowhere.

j) The ILAJE community at OKITIPUPA and its environs.

k) The Edos who conquered and settled far way land like Dahomey, Togo and Ghana.

The Edo language is part of the Kwa-Niger group of languages according to Linguist. These people have lived were they are now for " Thousands of years." The monarchy centered in Benin City is about 6000 years old, including pre-ogiso and Ogiso era of history. All the clans had various functions, which they perform at the palace. For example, the Ishans/Esans were principally the medicine men and warriors of the ancient empire. They were the medical practitioners. The chieftancy groups responsible for the Oba's well being are dominated by Ishan/Esan descendants. The Ivbiosakon (Afemais) were the dental surgeon of the palace. That is the origin of the name IVBIOSAKON. Oba Esigie assigned that function to them in the c1500's.

The Owan/Ora people were the propitiators of the physical earth for the Oba of Benin. It was their responsibility to prevent things like earthquake, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes and anything associated with geological disturbance to occur in Benin. In short, they were the geologists and weathermen of their day, forecasting and preventing physical calamities. Those we call BINIS today, were the traditional bureaucratic administrators and military generals. The Izons (Ijaws) were the " OZIGUE" -SAILORS The Ekas were farmers. They were in charge of the royal farms.

The Ibos across the Niger call the Edos, IDU, the name of the progenitor of Edo race, the Yorubas call us ADO, which is a corruption of the word EDO. However, the Itsekiris, another sub group in the Edo clans call us UBINI. Tradition asserts that it is derived from ILE-IBINU, which is descriptive of the exasperation and frustration encountered in Benin City, by Prince Oranmiyan of ILE-IFE. A further research may prove that, it was the Itsekiris who gave that name, to the people living in and around Benin City. The Itsekiris told the white man of the powerful overlord living in Igodomigodo. It was the Itsekiris who told the Whiteman that the name of the tribe of this powerful king was UBINI- a term which Whiteman corruptly wrote down as Benin. For example, the name of the eldest daughter of Oba Osewende, the mother of the OSULAS and the AIWERIOGHENES is today known as AGHAYUBINI. A closer examination of that name would reveal that the name is an Itsekhiri phrase-" The Ubini Lady or woman " i.e. the woman from Benin. Aghayubini was a very wealthy trader among the Itsekiris, from whence she got the money she used, is getting the throne for her brother, who became Oba ADOLO. An Itsekhiri descriptive phrase has simply over powered her original Edo name, to the extent that nobody knows anything about it now.

The ancient Edo/Benin Empire covered the whole of Bendel, parts of Bayelsa State and I repeat Balyesa State. The second son of the Enogie of Brass, popularly known as IYASE NE OHENMWEN became the Iyase of Benin under Oba Osewende. Iyase Ohenmwen is the ancestor of the OTOKITIS, THE OKEAYA-INNEH AND THE AIWERIOGHENES of Benin today. It also covers the IGBO-speaking areas of Delta State stretching to Onitsha. People hardly know that the actual title of the Obi of Onitsha is AIGBOGHIDI. The historical Chief Agho Obaseki of Oba Ovoranmwen era and later the Iyase of Benin under Oba Eweka II, was a descendant of the second son of Enogie of NSUKWA now in Delta State. It extended to the whole of Ondo State, parts of Ekiti and Ogun State and the whole of Lagos State including BADAGRY. It stretched to southern Dahomey (Republic of Benin) and on to the coast of Togo and Ghana.

THE OWANS /ORAS:

Oba Ozolua is traditionally regarded as the ancestor of the Owans/Ora. He was known as Prince Okpame before he became known as Oba Ozolua. He had sought refuge in Uwokha in Ivbiosakon areas in c1473. From Uwokha, Oba Ozolua founded Ora and other villages. Oba Ozolua was a warlord. He beat the people of Uzea near Uromi to a pulp when there was a revolt. He extended his carnage to Uromi when the Enogie was reported to have been rude to his messengers. He went up through Akoko land, wandering into Nupe lands where he acquired a lot of sophisticated weaponry then. He attacked the Igallas and Igbirras in the present Kogi and Kwarra states. After spending the greater part of his life in ORA, he left behind his son UGUAN and returned to Benin City.

But before he left, he proclaimed everybody free men and free women, entitled to enjoy the privileges of Edo princes and Princesses, for all the services they had rendered in his military campaigns. That is why the Oras call themselves today, the CHILDREN OF OZOLUA. Besides being in charge of propitiating the physical earth, they are responsible for ritually exorcising any harm that might come upon the EDO NATION-the land due to violation of sexual or other taboos. Their GUILD, quartered at EVBORHAN quarter in OGBELAKA in Benin City by Oba Esigie, demands steep fines from the culprits for their services.

A few years ago, the Oba of Benin created an Ogie-Duke-traditional rulership for the Oras because of popular demand.

Fine. that's all i wanted to the know and all you said also confirmed that Oyinbo's and Ndigbo's are also found in Ibadan Neighbourhood.

Gmmmm

funny enough i started driving at the age of 17 and nobody ever taught me how to drive till date...learnt it from daddy...when he was taking us to school and I always watch him drive his car..as i grew older I watch people drive and the way they changed their gears....that was how i learnt ...then the finest point was when I watched the first fast and furious movie...that had ludacris and co and it tought me how to change my gears

but that doesnt make me a perfect driver cos the first time I bought my car... burnt clutch the first 4 months...oh Lagos traffic is killing especially FESTAC area...driving manual is fun...you rarely use both legs apart from tapping on the clutch when you want to change.

i own a manual and an auto...i enjoy driving my manual, the changing of gear to the 5th gear is like making love to a shapely woman and coming together...oh I love my car...the sound of engine when you rev in the 5th gear is so heavenly ...when you want to overtake in 3rd mainland bridge .....just when you feel the car aint pushing faster and your reving harder....just bring it back to 4 then gear 3 then push it back to 5 ..all these within a 60 sec window....oh draving manual is an art...the only snag is my manual is a japanesse ...saving for a benz or BMW manual ...that is the beast...with those german machine I can do Lagos Onitsha within 3 - 4 hours


but wify will never touch my manual...she enjoys auto


I think in Auto the car drives you and in manual you drive the car...

now your talking..a rail link that will link Agbor to Ahaba via ogwashi and have a major hub at ontisha - migbidi axis with intersection at Mgbidi/orlu zone and Oguta that will be nlinked to the lake incase of the dredging...the onitsha major Hub will connect Enugu Nsukka and abikiliki... then with Western hub connecting Aba, Alaoji, Igwocha and possibble terminating at Atlantic this will ensure speedy logistic and people movemnt...the rail will be fitted with wifi and the coaches in classes then we can also have open cargo rail that will bring in good from the ports of Ibaka, Uguta and river bank of Onitsha and port of Igwo Ocha (Port Harcourt) We will get there..thank lord that south Eastern Governors are in collaboration with Ifeanyi Okowa of delta state and we know the Ibibio(AkwaIbom) and Efiks are our natural ally...



these plans will be in blueprint

OGOg:
What we need in igboland now is an efficient railway system , not the outrageously costly monorail but a standard gauge British type railway system which was very efficient in the movement of goods around Nigeria.
A railway system connecting us to the middle belt or ebonyi to other states will help reduce the discrepancy in food price between these areas and the rest of igboland, it will also reduce the number of trucks killing and maiming innocent civilians on our roads.

The holiday complex situates in Oguta local government Area of Imo State about 40km (forty kilometres) away from Owerri, the Capital of Imo State.


Oguta Golf Course,the only lakeside golf course in Nigeria which is 18 standard holes

then you can take your kids to the mini recration park all over seeing the lake maybe you can do crocs watching etc.... as I said before...We value comfort and family life...we cant afford our kids to be hanging around in bus stops or lazying about claiming son of soil...it is not our culture

so we create an enabling enviroment for our kids to soar without looking at any bagga face

same with me...i think we should leave some section for pristine forest...maybe the okigwe enugu highway and enugu nsuka highway


i want to be able to show my daughter crovcodile, show her hippo or chimp...she only sees that in movies...yes igbo land is urbanizing rapidky but we must also have conservation...i know most western region villages are living in conservation we need to build a natural park or conservation...maybe find a prototype igbo village built there with the 16th century setting of mud house, mbubo and ama..these are important ....



it has been decades I have not seen a mud house in Anambra state...please where do we have mud house...i need to show my daughter what it is like to live in mud house and what it is like to drink that sweet water from earthen pot



it is always cold

Well,they like to claim Lagos as their achievement as if they built it knowing well they have nothing to be proud of. Every one of them is from Lagos,nobody comes from Ogbomosho and Ibadan because it backward and undeveloped.

“Nigeria has now joined other countries experiencing advanced car jacking or should I say hacking.
Items worth 200,000 naira was stolen from a car parked in the premises of one of the popular shopping malls in Lagos. CCTV footage showed the suspect walked up to the parked car which was already open via remote access and removed the items. The car owner testified that he met the parked car locked but the items were missing. This is just one of the many stories about the new trend of stealing from cars and in some cases stealing the car.

Just last month, Wired released an article about two security specialists who commandeered a Jeep Cherokee’s onboard computers, and took control of the air conditioner, windshield wipers, and most terrifying, the accelerator and brakes. More recently, Volkswagen lost a two-year battle to suppress files about how hi-tech criminals are able to hack into their vehicles electronically. In Lagos Nigeria, a car parked at one of the popular shopping malls was robbed using hi tech electronics. The culprit was not caught. These news stories are leading motorists to ask the question: just how safe are modern vehicles? Carmudi, the safest way to sell or buy your car online, examines why Nigeria should be concerned about car hacking.

Car hacking is a type of internet crime where criminals can seize control of a vehicle from their laptops, sometimes from across the country. With rapidly developing in-car technologies, vehicles are increasingly vulnerable to hacks, particularly the keyless entry hack and the UConnect hack.
The keyless entry hack is a popular car exploit which works by intercepting radio signals to lock and unlock car doors. The hacker grabs the code and resends it to the car alarm. Voila! Open sesame. The criminals can proceed to take any valuables they find inside the car. The UConnect hack works by gaining access to the car’s internal network via the Wi-Fi hotspot enabling the firmware to be completely re-written in order to grant access to the car’s physical controls, making the car steer wildly, speed up or slow down and even blow out its tires.
Car hacking is a growing problem in developed countries, particularly in the UK, where last year, 6000 vehicles were stolen using the keyless entry hack in London alone. But, is car hacking relevant in Nigeria?

“Africa is experiencing a significant level of internet crime and it looks set to continue growing. With more than 49 million cyber-attacks recorded on the continent in the first quarter of last year, we can see the seriousness of the issue” said Carmudi.

In 2013, Ghana was ranked second in Africa and seventh globally for cyber crime. The Communication Minister remarked that Ghana’s present ranking among the world’s top 10 cyber crime-prone countries is “a disincentive to investment in the country’s ICT sector.” The situation is just as bad in Nigeria, which suffered a $2.5 billion loss as a direct result of internet crime.

We the great ndigbos of the south-eastern states don't pays hatred to any tribes in nigeria and that s why you can find us in and out of any state in nigeria.
We re patriotic nigerianism than any tribes in nigeria who claimed to be. but when we realised that nigeria is a zoo country, we decided to pull out frm the zoo but your likes are kind of frustrating our efforts whenever they hear anything biafra or igbos, it give you and your likes heart attack.


Listens boy,I ve seen the way you always have an heart attacked about anything igbos or biafra, that s why I want to know if igbos mistakenly mention your tribe in biafraland so that we can pull you guys out of biafrans map to joins the zoo called nigeria.

That s why I asked you,
where re you from? But it pained you so much to tell world where you came from?

Boy, I am proud igbo prince and I hate it when someone like you get sleepless night at the mention of biafra or igbo achievement cos I ve checkmated all your past comments, and they seems to be against ndigbos leaving the zoo.

This is politics section, leave my people alone and stop speaking ills against biafrans.

I know reasons why you don't want to display where you come from because you know igbos re like MTN.

If you re proud of where you come from,boi speak it out or remains dumb.

But ask yourself:

Who are abuja indigenes? Northerners

Who built Abuja?

Who administers Abuja?

Who have been the FCT Ministers that developed Abuja?

Who constitutes the majority in Abuja?

Abuja is the Nigerian capital built with oil money and not gwari yam ....it is not even owned by Hausa

So that yoruba boy actually thought Oaklands was in America and not in Enugu?
