Yoruba is influential in the WEST. Igbo is in the East. Hausa is in the North. Its simply regional. Don't over stretch it okay.


LOL @ Osisi and Titilayo LOL

I will be Oluwatosin.

List em sir.

I think Sir.

not Madam coz Mazi is only for men.

Beaf, thanx / dalu / sosongo for summarizing it well for these kids.

No problem Igbo woman or man marrying Efik-Ibibio-Oron, Ijaw, Urhobo, Ogoni, Isoko and other southern minorities. Even Idoma and Igala ppls is good. Yoruba *raises eyebrows* LOL I've talked to some Yoruba chicks tho. Got cousins with some Yoruba. They are advised to thread with caution.

Now Hausa-Fulani, groups. FUUUUCK NOOOOOOOOO. Its an abomination for an Igbo woman to trash herself like that. Tufiakwa. Calabar ppl won't do it either. Even Ijaw wont go there.

Wherever they go they expose their madness. Is this heredtry?

Are u Yoruba?

Like em Chief.
Mainly for older accomplished men in the community.

Urhobo is not Bini in anyway. They are separate ethnic nations.

Aro mma mma nu. Ujari - Ajali kwenu!!!!

Borok Haram

I did and didnt get it,

Lets keep that marriage within our region jare.

@ Beaf, he probably thinks Gwari is Garri LOL

The guy knows nothing pass Ore town.

RUBBISH.

So what language do they speak? What cultural practices do they perform? What ethnic are they? LOL @ ur lame attempt to taint them non Igbo. Go to Onitsha and tell me if they look anything like Yoruba or Bini. I'm much closer to Onitsha so I think I know more bout them.

Where did Arochukwu people come from? U even forget Onitsha get Igala links. Awka got links with Igala. Am I Igala? LOL. Nri Kingdom spread all the way to Igala, Benin areas so now tell me are they Igbo?

^^^For your info. Kini is an Igbo word for "What".

"Mmeru kini? What did I do?
"Mmere gini?" What did I do?
"Mmere nini?" What did I do?
"Mmere nnidi?" What did I do?

All Igbo from different dialects. As usual u forget we have dialects just like you do.

The fact that you say Kini in Yoruba shows you are descendants of Igbo. Abi?

I could care less what Oduduwa is. Who is he? Does he have a picture? Biko steer clear from folk tales. I DON'T KNOW READ ABOUT THAT boring ass Oduduwa rubbish. Okay.

Ogba is also an Igbo word.

Biko go find ur own words to use not ours. Kini wu mkpa ki?

EZE CHUKWUMELA NNAM OBI OBA OF OGBALAND

LOL just 1 Oba? LOL Go tell em they are Yoruba and they will slap u well well.

Niger, you can spew all the garbage you want about Igbos in Edo and Delta but there is something we call proximity. Ya know. Igbos coulda came from Egypt now does that make em Egyptians? LOL. U want to claim Igbos in Delta are Yoruba? Okay fine we are coming to reclaim our land then. Una go fit pack comot or give up atleast half of it since ya wanna claim we are from your land? GET OUT jooo. Thats when you'll remind us we be Omo Nna so FALL BACK.

We don't care about where we came and trust me there is no documentation that shows Igbos moved from Benin to Delta area in 1745 or whatever. LOL.
Whatever you speak now and the culture u have is what u are. No need to revisit nonsense or else maybe Yoruba ppl need to pack comot go Egypt since some even claim they came from Egypy. Go tell Egyptians to give u land coz you are one of em LOL.

They didn't remember they came from Benin and Yoruba land when they slaughtered our ppl in Asaba. STFU

lol My guy people borrow words from people.
In Idoma land. Their Kings are called Ochi Idoma. That's an Igbo word. Now tell me are Idoma people now Igbo? NOPE. Same applies to Igbos of Ogbaland. Kini in Igbo and Yoruba both mean the same thing now I guess Yoruba people are now Igbo. Abi? Oya we are coming to tame you run-away Igbos then.

All the different Igbo groups out there do the same New Yam Festival yearly. Not one Igbo group excludes itself. Until you see Ogba people speaking Yoruba then holla back. But for now just give it up. Go research Ogba people and tell me if there'll be any mention of Yoruba . So now Bini are Yoruba people LOL. Make dem catch u. LOL. Do they attend Afenifere? lol

Keep dreaming. They are no descendants of Oduduwa. Igbos in the Delta and Edo got contacts with Bini people, Bini people got contact with Yoruba people. Now do u see how it works like domino effect? Even if he was to be, the Igbo side has taken over hence he is an Igbo man not Oduduwa. Quit trying to claim us buddy. Igbo is also taught in American Universities. BIG DEAL. Only one word "Oba" and you want to claim they are Oduduwa. LOL .

bullocks^^^

I see nothing wrong with the mixture. It makes Adaku exotic. We are
Igbo, Ibibio, and Itsekiri.
Igbo, Ibibio, Ijaw,
Igbo, Ibibio, Yoruba,
Igbo, Ibibio
Igbo, a lil Hausa

in my family.

As long as her man get some direct IGBO blood, or is Sapele its all good.

They will get full Biafra citizenship.

denex:
See, there's a reason for everything. My neighbour used to visit China for business yearly in the 1990s and this problem wasn't there. In fact, the arrival of Nigerians in China at that time used to be celebrated.

You know Nigerians, I know Nigerians, there are millions of Nigerians whose hobby is seeking loopholes in any system to exploit. They are almost impossible to catch because as one hole is closed, another gets opened by them. The only way to deal with these things is to put some basic precautions on ground. Your visa gets expired, you're apprehended. Simple. Why should you allow you visa to expire? "Abi you think say na Panadol?"

Please this does not qualify as abuse. By the time they start publicly flogging innocent Nigerians in Tiannamen Square, then you can raise the red flag.

Are you telling me that when a Nigerian's visa expires in the UK and he refuses to go, the queen sends him a letter of appeal? Please get real.

The country is forever doomed.

^^^^^ No mind these paranoid people. Igbo people scare the SHIIIIITTT out of em. I don't know why but it does. LMAO

^^^^^^ No mind that otondo

Asha80, u are right.

Enahoro is clearly not Ijaw so don't expect MEND to even bat and eye.  

Edwin Clark can burn in hell fire and tell MEND I said so.

MEND should hammer him not me after all where is he when his people get slaughtered from Odi to Gbamaturu? The 1st leader to rush to the aid of Odi people was Okadigbo not Clark. Tell me where was that old hag when he was needed. You only see him talk when he wants to spew hateful venom that he likes to feed the uneducated Ijaw ppl who are easliy swayed by anti Igbo rhetoric not the educated ones who know all that talk na rubbish talk that serves no one any good.

You cant argue against the points I made earlier coz you know its true.

Bla bla bla BLAME Igbos for floods in Niger Delta, blame Igbo for Tsunami, rain, etc etc. You give Igbo ppl more importance than they need when you even do that. Since we have the power like that to destroy the South u might wanna bow down and beg us so we won't go any further coz u know we are that POWERFUL. Abi? Idiot. Go and blame Clark, Wiwa, Enahoro, Awolowo, Elechi Amadi, Ukpabi Asika, for destroying the South not Igbo people. The last time I checked it was your leaders who didn't want Aburi accord but are now hyperventilating to have all that it provided back. This is what blind hatred can do to people. Tufia

Sjeezy, most of your people are not even known to want to live with others so what are u yapping about? Look at this olodo rapata. The last time I checked my family housed a Yoruba chick for free in our house back in Enugu for over 5 yrs till she finished her college education in Enugu then she moved back to the West. Our driver in Enugu was a Yoruba man. Most of our house helps and security guards were from Middlebelt. Like I said b4 u are a typical Yoruba boy extremely ignorant of other people and how they live. Sgeeszy you have never been to any Eastern state so how can you tell us about ourselves when u haven't lived among us in the past? Quit talking out of your ass bro. How many places, roads, etc are named after Odumegwu Ojukwu, Philip Effiong, Madiebo, Aguiyi Ironsi, Ifeajuna, Nzeogwu, Frank Opugo, Bassey, etc in Igbo land and the East? NONE. The last time I checked we don't have autonomy like before so what do u think? Kids (intellectually) like you need to go study Nigerian history, b4 independence, after independence, b4 the war and after the war to fully appreciate the situation in the East that lost its war of independence against Northern and Western criminals with the help of UK, USSR, and Arab world.

The last I also checked PH has largest concentration of Yorubas in the South outside Yorubaland and PH is dominated by Igbos. If Igbos are so bad Yoruba ppl will be extinct in PH. It ain't our fault Yoruba land had no job for ur people hence we offered them something in Igbo land. Maybe Fashola should send em back to school then to get educated or more education. Nwa mgbafo.

Try not to speak for the North since u know nothing about that either. Have u been to native town Awka, Amaobia, etc. Hausa/Fulani are there. Go to Owerri, Uyo, Aba, Onitsha, PH, they are everywhere in the East so what are u talking about?

Plenty Calabar ppl are in Enugu. If you don't want to live in the Eastern region for whatever reason thats ur freaking cup of tea. The average Easterner could care less about ur fuccking existence. We have better things to worry about.

Yes u can't live in the same union with Northern muslims who like to start wars for no reason. If you can't coexist with someone you move on. Simple. Is it BY FORCE? Is marriage by force? Do u even read, think and understand what people are saying before talking?

BACK TO OBA. Like I said b4 u don't own the word and there is nothing u can do except kill urself. If u don't take your time I'll go there and get my own Oba title sef Wat u gon do? Send OPC to Ogbaland? LOL Going by your warped logic Umudioka people of Awka should bitch @, Enugu Ukwu, Ngwuo, Southern Benue ppl and the Igalas for doing Egwu Igede
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw8_1vZRtcI after all they can claim ownership of it. In Awka only an Umudioka or descendant of Umudioka can perform Igede dance.

Igbos of Ogba land should even get mad @ the fact that Yoruba and Bini people are using Oba title sef.

You just admitted that Bini and Yoruba ppl got alot in common and can co-exist peacefully. BRAVOOOO, Now that is the same point that Easterners like myself are making to our people. To cherish our commonalities and not put so much negativity in our differences. Even Bini ppl won't want to be part of any Yoruba state sef hence they have theirs.

Sgeezy,
I don't believe in being a union with ppl u just can't coexist with. That's all.

Amaka that is the sad truth. Watch your back.

Sjeezy, Did Bini people take permission from u or pay Yoruba ppl b4 using the word "Oba" or vice versa? Did Ijaw, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Isoko ppl pay Igbo or take permission to use the word "Okoro" or vice versa? Did Idoma ppl ask for permission from Igbos to use the word "Ochi" for "Ochi Idoma"? Biko mechie onu nsi gi.  . Those Igbos in Ogbaland using "Oba" didnt start using it today. They've been using that 100s and who knows 1000s of yrs ago and there is nothing u can do about it. You don't own the word "Oba". Imagine u hyperventilating over some freaking "Oba" like it will change the price of Garri. What has the word done for u?
