Eche is simply a dummy and a detriment to our cause. Efulefu Igbos like you should be eradicated. Even an Oron person says people like you should be eradicated. She is not even Igbo but she can see the danger people like you pose to our cause in the East. Tufia.

Igbos were attacked during the invasion of Afghanistan by USA. During their so called protest Hausa ppl killed over 200 Igbos in Kano over the war.

lol

Eche, u are not a smart fellow. The ignorance of ur history is appalling. When US invaded Afghanistan Igbo, Efiks, were attacked and killed. When someone in Denmark printed cartoon about Mohamed, Igbos, Efiks, southerners were killed in the North. So what does that tell you. The fulani will kill you in a second in support of Arabs even when u have nothing to do with it.

Dude GET SOME COMMON SENSE.

Hausa fulani will choose Arab anytime any day over ur dumb black Igbo ass. I dare u to try any nonsense with a Lebanese in Nigeria. They will try you and execute you on the spot.

LOL na soo my brother but Caltholic no be same level as Igbo, Idoma, Yoruba,etc. But hey na free world. Ur cousin got rights.

LOL I can see this confused batty boy Eche Emole don carry his fruity ass wahala come Nairalanfd. Useless stupid Igbo boy who hates the fact that he is Igbo. No even take am serious. U gotta love who u are 1st b4 u start loving another name given to in 1914 by a white man from UK.

I AM IGBO 1st. I also got Efik/Ibibio blood. I AM PROUD OF MY KWA IGBO HERITAGE.

My family have also married people from different ethnic nations, Yoruba, Ijaw, Itsekiri,etc. I have Edo best friend, African American best friend, Igbo best friend, Yoruba, Efik friends. I AM still IGBO TILL I DIE.

Biafran, Igbo, Efik are what I identify with. My Eastern neighbors Ijo, Ogoni, Idoma, Efik, etc are the people that I tend to gravitate to. WAS BORN IGBO WILL DIE AS IGBO. When there is trouble, where will I run to for safety? Eastern / Southern region.

BIAFRA kwenu!!! IGBO KWENU!!!. IGBO MMA MMA NU.

Ohakim, Asagba, Achebe ask for Igbo unity as Ngige, Obi reconcile
Written by Mac Nwachukwu & Uduma Kalu
Saturday, 24 January 2009


It was a happy moment for the Igbo at Owerri yesterday when the governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi and his predecessor, Dr. Chris Ngige embraced and chatted with each other explaining his role in the political conflict between them.
But both used the event for reconciliation, with laughter all over.

But from the tumultuous gathering at the Annual Ahiajioku lecture held at Owerri yesterday came a thunderous verdict unity among the Igbo,

The lecture delivered by the novelist Chinua Achebe who arrived the venue with his wife, Christie and three children: Ike, Chidi and Nwando, was chaired by the Asagba of Asaba, Prof. Chike Edozien.

There were also the governor of Imo State, Chief Ikedi Ohakim, and Anambra governor, Mr. Peter Obi as well as Abia, Delta, Ebonyi, Rivers, Enugu who were represented.

There were delegations also from the Obong of Calabar and Jaja of Opobo, several traditional rulers including the Obi of Ogwashi uku, Prof. Chukuka Okonjo, Ikelionwu of Ndikelionwu, Prof. Chukwumemeka Ike, among others.

However, Achebe in his lecture entitled Igbo, Intellectualism and Development praised the lecture rebranded by the state government to be the framework for development and not just for intellectual sake, the series would help redirect the miseducated Igbo caused by colonialists.

Using samples from his novel, Things fall apart as illustration, Achebe said the Igbo share a lot of brotherhood and yet have their differences.

Saying the worldwide celebration of the novel is not about him but the story, which is Igbo story.
But h used the little difference in the name, Ahiajioku and Ifejioku which means the same thing: celebration of the yam god in Igboland to share the little differences tat exist in the dialects of the Igbo, saying the Igbo should not allow the little differences among them cause their disunity.

The Igbo, he told the audience made of ministers, senators, the academia, the clergy, Achebe blamed the problem in the use and study of Igbo language on a white missionary who he said could nit grasp the differences that exist in the Igbo dialect. He did not know the Igbo speak in their various dialects: Igbo na au na olu na olu, he said. Dialects are a tiny thing that should not divide the Igbo. Igbo unity is paramount, he maintained.

It is therefore a thing of madness for anyone to call anyone whose dialects sounds different from the other as non-Igbo, adding that even in the markets, the people speak in their dialects.

It is therefore sacrilege for anyone to tell a teach that its is wrong to speak in his mother tongue. Nobody, he said, has the right to stop any child from speaking his mother tongue.

Achebe also spoke out for women integration in Igboland. He used the exile chapter of Okonkow in Igboland illustrate this, said that mother is supreme.

Igbo people have developmental ideas and knowledge as can be found in their creation stories, he pointed out.

However, the Asagba of Asaba, Prof. Edozien saying all Igbo are one, itemised seven agendas which he said are essential for Igbo unity which he said for two years, Ohanaeze ndigbo could not achieve.

He harped on the need for creation of two more state for Igbo people out of the present Delta and Rivers State to give equal states to three regions, under one region,

He also asked that state governors in the seven state Igbo dominate should empower Ohanaeze financially and the eze ndigbo proliferation across the country and beyond should be stopped.

Th e Asagba asked that the Igbo should rater elect one king as Eze Igbo through the traditional rulers and tat the ruler should rule till death as is the case with the papacy.

Ohakim in his contribution also spoke on Igbo unity as did Prof. Pat Utomi who introduced Achebe. Utomi had located the problem with the Igbo in lack of humility and reverence for vanity.

But Ohaikm asked Ohanaeze not to allow division among it, nor allow internal contradictions thwart its efforts.

He also blamed Nigerians under development on injustice and ethnicity.
Things, he went on, do go wrong in societies but such are moments to work and repair and not to apportion blames, saying that Achebe’s message is essentially all hope is not lost.

Niger Deltans are simply pathetic especially our Ijaw brothers. For some reason they'll still cowardly bow to the North thinking they are spiting Igbos and Yorubas who are actually fairing better and then the North will in turn rubbish them. Chineke!!!! I wonder what kind of Juju the North dey use get them like that? Until they can stand up to the North for 1 day without their knees buckling MEND will kidnap till the break of dawn and aint shit gon happen. The North will still reap where they did not sow. The middle belt got more balls sef .

But then again Yaradua is simply awarding his Hausa brother for what they fought hard for in Biafra to keep. What do expect them to do? Give it to an Easterner, an Ijaw, an Igbo, an Ibibio, etc? Come on lets be for real. Until we wrestle it out of their hand they won't let it go.

I am for united East or South no doubt.

Southerners are nothing but a bunch of opportunistic creatures who will betray their own region for a few crumbs. The Biafra civil war and the continued inability to even forge a common front for more than 1 month before it disintegrates proves that we still have a long way to go.

lol @ Tilapia.

Just give it up. U just got ur ass roasted and served to you.

LOL @ Dede's comment about the foolish Obong. Seriously where was the Obong and his clique of retarded fools who worry about ceremonial stuff when his kit and kin got sold out cheap. I feel sorry for Bakassi people man. Instead of leaders of their ethnic group fighting for their right they are worrying themselves over some title like Eze Ndi Igbo that really holds no real authority in their vicinity neither does the Obong title. The problem with us in the East is that we like chasing shadows, fighting when there is really nothing to fight about. Where were the idiots who burnt the store of an Igbo man there when Cameroonian army was killing their kith and kin in Bakassi. Biko we need real leadership in the Eastern region not the like of the Obong who will ignore real issues to quarrel over nonsense. Let him come to Enugu sef we will crown him an Obong or Eze sef. It won't make any difference to the average Enugu man.

FYI This is not a diss or even an insult coz if it is u go piss for trouser. Take it as tough love coz you and I know I love my Efik/Ibibio/Oron/Annang ppl and I'm related to them but ya Obong needa do better. So people quit being so stupid and insecure when dealing with Igbos. Chineke!!!!!

I don't get reason why people are fighting over the idea that Igbos are always excelling in many areas including education? Its a proven fact. Just get used and get ur own shit together without trying to push us down coz it won't happen. ONE NIGERIA MY ASS. This just proves to me again that the hatred in Nigeria towards us and other people is not about to die out. Igbo kwenu!!!!

LOL they always accuse Igbo of fraud when everyone is doing it lol. Taiwo gotta be an Igbo man.

damn shame
