1Igboman202:
Main igbo mentality......... Delta igbos still exist pls. dont include us in your Biafra!

see this benin muslim man trying to claim Delta Igbo. Who u wan deceive

Shym3xx:
Yes. But are they forcing their Yoruba identity on Brazilians and Cubans the way Igbo slaves in Delta are trying to force their Igbo identity on the Binis in Delta?

this ur reply shows how I wasted my time arguing with you

Shym3xx:
Lol. You sound like an illiterate lol.

Were those Yorubas in those places there before there was anything called Yoruba and have always been there before Togo and Benin were created during the scramble for Africa? Those Yoruba settlements in those places are even older than most Yoruba towns in Nigeria, save for Ife. And they're all older than Oyo and even Dahomey. So, how the hell did slavery get them there? Lool.

No. Slave trade didn't get them there - those are their ancestral lands. But colonisation separated them from the other Yorubas.

The same can't be said about Igbos outside Igboland cos they ventured outside the forest as slaves. It is well documented.

and the yoruba descendants in Brazil and Cuba? Was it not slave trade?

Shym3xx:
Shut ya gob and pay attention to the knowledge I'm kicking lol. All I'm doing is to civilise ya primitive mindset lol.

Igbos outside Onitsha to the West and anywhere South of Igboland got their through slavery. They were slaves in the two axis pre-Nigeria and it is well documented. Yes, they did outnumber the indigenous people in those places. However, that doesn't negate the fact that they went to those places as slaves. So, why would people who settled in places outside their ancestral lands as slave want to dictate an identity to the indigenous people they met there? A lot of folks from Delta in the so called Aniona for example can trace their ancestry to Bini and they were the ones who owned these Igbo slaves. Slaves can't dictate to the owners of land - learn to pick ya battles wisely.

Oyo owned slaves but they were mostly Bariba, Fulani, Hausa, and Nupe. And apart from Ilorin, most of these slaves were assimilated into the Yoruba identity and they are Yoruba today. That's what Igbos in Delta need to do - assimilate into the Bini culture they met there. And if they can't do that, the ones who are Igbo should claim Igbo and let the Bini ones claim Bini.

hahahaha, funny reply by bigotry.
The yorubas in togo, benin, was it not slave trade that got them there?
Hahahahaha. Ur bigotry is well known here. So its time consuming and pointless arguing with you.. I got busy things doing.

Sultanchidi:
pls oh what's d meaning of UMU IDU since u brought up d issue of umuigbo? It simply means children of benin and it's in anioma land. Truth b told some aniomas can trace their origin to d benin Kingdom

hahahahahaha. What an analysis. Nnewi nickname is AnaEdo, does it mean that they are from Edo.
Do ur umuidu speak Bini?

Sultanchidi:
bt wen ibe kachukwu was made d minister of state for petroleum, wat was d reaction of d easterners? Dey said he is from ika and not an igbo man and therefore fg can't say dat d position is being occupied by an igbo man.

can you give us EVIDENCE of the easterners not happy with the appointment?
Just one evidence.

chukzyblingz:
I'm from Anioma but I can only understand about 50% of Central Igbo. A typical Agbor man doesn't know the meaning of words like Odum, Agu, ichie, gburugburu, ju ese, umu azi, I can go on and on. I sat an Igbo friend down last year and began to ask him the meaning of many Igbo words. I was surprised about how little I know

the same way an Nnewi, Ohafia, Onitsha, Ezzi etc man can't undertand Central Igbo well because they have their various dialects just like Agbor.
Central Igbo is owned by nobody but formulated by Igbo scholars to implement A linguistic understand between various Igbo dialects Speakers.

Shym3xx:
Yes. I kicked the knowledge you need to get into ya thick skull.

Stop trying to claim everyone and stop forcing ya identity on people who have no ancestral connection with you. A lot of those people can trace their ancestral lineage to Bini. So why try to turn them Igbo?

The only reason why Igbos are there in the first place is cos Igbos were slaves everywhere around that axis all the way to present day Rivers. They came as slaves and later outnumbered the indigenous people and later settled there. Why do think Binis call Igbos, "Igbons"? Igbon means slave.

Everything is well documented and I will post excerpts from the accounts of British explorers in the 1800s in the "Liverpool to Onitsha" records. Igbos had the highest population in that axis (or even the whole today's Nigeria) back then and they were about 4milliion. However, the Igbos who weren't in Igboland were slaves in the other places. It is well documented.

So, why would slaves declare their own identity on the people they met there?

Slave trade happened everywhere even in YORUBA LAND, thats why you have yorubas in togo.
Your tribalistic mindset is entering into an emergency stage.
Which one is Igbon?
Hahahahaha. How did Igbon relate here?
Igbo is from NDI GBOO which means Ancient People.. It reflects in our name, Igbokwe- Ndi Gboo kwe,
2. UmuIgbo - Umu Ndi Gboo.
3. Amaigbo- Ama Ndi Gboo etc.
4. Even in Delta we have Igbuzor(ibusa by white men)- Ndi Gboo bi na uzo
Etc. Quit tribalism, it will do you good.

chukzyblingz:
Stop saying what you don't know. What is a dialect and what is a language? This question about dialect and language is something even linguists can't answer. Before you quote me, go and make your research because I don't have time to argue with blind people

tell us the relationship btw Dialect and Language?we are waiting.

HenryThegreat1:
. Yes, I'm from Agbor but i can't speak igbo neither will igbo man speaks or understand agbor

Agbor is a dialect. Can an enuani man in Asaba understand Agbor?
A language is a combination of identical dialects.
Agbor is just like Ohafia dialect, Can you hear Ohafia? Ohafia dialect is different from Onitsha own?
Can you hear onitsha dialect? Does it mean that Ohafia and Onitsha man are different tribes?

Sultanchidi:
u used d word IBOS . That's d problem d so called igbos from across d Niger will say dat we aniomas are IBOS and not igbo. So y forcing aniomas now to accept that dey are igbos

And whats the difference between Igbo and ibo?

nextstep:
True. But when non-Anioman's don't understand us and try to lump us all together with people we are not, we have to emphasize and remind people that we are diverse and cannot therefore be assumed to be part of some arbitrary group that is being imposed on us.

The yorubas are diverse in origin (e.g ijebus,badagary,oyo etc )but do you see them shouting that they are not yorubas?.
No one is imposing anything on you, An anioma man Nzeogwu led a coup, today its still seen as an IGBO COUP..
Did the Anioma leaderz release a statement for it to be changed to ANIOMA COUP.?
Anioma is just a modern coined name, Western Igbo have been the Ancient names used by men like Osadebey.
Say the truth and stop beating around the corner.

nextstep:
Ahem... we are not confused, we actually have diverse origins in Anioma, traceable to Yoruba, Benin, Ibo, Igala, and so on.

Just like Americans are traceable to many different parts of the world: you have those that identify as Italian descent, Irish, English, Japanese, Indian, Nigerian descent, and so on. Just because somebody hungers for the Italian food of his origins does not make him less American, nor someone who wants to dress in Indian clothes. Likewise, just because Aniomans identify with their places of origin, or have attributes common with those places does not make them less Anioman.

Anioma is a melting pot of peoples who have forged a unique identity, different from where they might have come from. I wonder why this is so hard for the majority of Nigerians to appreciate.

every Tribe in Nigeria have diverse origin even the yorubas, bini, Efik etc.
It makes no logical point to see a small diverse origin as a distinctiveness.

nextstep:
There is Anioma, and there is Igbo.
There is America, and there is England
There is Mexico, and there is Spain
There is Brazil, and there is Portugal.

Each pair are distinct, separate peoples, though they speak the same language.

There is Nnewi and there is Igbo.
There is Onitsha and there is Igbo
3. There is Arochukwu and there is Igbo.
I can go on and on. Then who is an Igbo?
Even in Anioma, there is Aniocha and there is Anioma.
4. There is Oshimili and there is Anioma. So your analysis is flawed.

AjiereTuwo:
Udmaster I am not the Rivers state Government or the representative of this groups who put this information about their people on the website, if you disagree with the Rivers State Government about Rivers state Indigenes then your truly blinded by wateva lies u hold

Kalabari, Degema, Okirika can be regarded as Ethnic groups.
Does it mean that they are NOT Ijaws?
So Etche, Asa, Ndoki, Egbema etc can be seen as an Ethnic group but they are part of the IGBO NATION. .
NB: no point arguing, deep inside you, you know the truth. Stop lying to urself.
Divide and Conquer lie can't last forever.

AjiereTuwo:
Mr igboid you better be satisfied with your s.e, are you more reliable than the Rivers state website. Abi na by force to be Igbo?

you did not reply him, you diverted and started your rant.
Anyone can write that website. Kalabari is seen as an Ethnic group, does it mean that they are not ijaws?

AjiereTuwo:
There are no Igbos who are native of rivers state
This is river state official website http://riversstate.net.ng/people-and-culture/

so kalabari and okirika are ijaw to you? But Oyigbo,etche,egbema etc are not Igbo to you?

AjiereTuwo:
There is nothing like rivers igbo. Lies carried by south easterners

ofcourse there is nothing like "Rivers Igbo" but Igbos who are native to Rivers state.

A NL real girl should atleast have one or two NL guys on her bbm,whatsapp or on Call line.

A real girl atleast should change her DP withing a span of a month.
When the few stolen pics finish, they switch to a meme pics as DP.
...

Why will a "beautiful girl" on Romanceland avoid contesting or atleast join in the offline call campaigning.
Catfishs know that they will be asked to snap a pics with their moniker name on a paper and send it. So the run.
...
5. They love attention seeking, running up and down in threads for FP..they want to be noticed.

Missbouqui is guilty of this.

saintfellow:

She is not the 1st and wnt be the last.
Soldier go, soldier come barrack remains.

Yo right.

Anyone have an idea what happened?

She is one brainy lady in the politics and romance section, challanging ipobs method.
I loved her Pro-Igbo way, and loved to read her comments whenever I am less-busy.
She is pretty too.
Have not been seeing her in the politics section lately, checked on her and found out that she has de-activated.
I wish she comes back.
I love seeing Politically smart ladies.
