If buharri have his way, no projects will ever be done in the south east till 2023. Such hate and sadism ruling his heart can only cause his demise while the great Igbos move on.

Whom God has blessed, no man can curse.

Went to an Igbo cultural event today, I knew it was suspect because in all of my years of traveling to Africa it was the first tribal cultural event that was kicked off with a white Jesus prayer. Had an interesting discussion afterwards. I was told that the original Igbo were white and that when the Igbo migrated to Igbo land/ Africa they were burnt black by the African sun. But some weren't fully burnt that's why some Igbo are light skinned. He then points to the red bone Igbos to prove his point.He then said that Israelis are going to one day descend on Nigeria and help them build Biafra. I asked him "Why would they come and save you all when they are kicking all of the Africans out of Israel and the Ethiopian Falashans barely get any respect." He responded "That they will come and save us, because we are Hebrews and we used to be white." He had a straight face the entire time. For some reason I used to think Igbos went to war to fight against oppression I'm all for supporting the oppressed, I just hope millions of people didn't die over this buffoonery.

how old are you, son?

Afonjas on the loose again

No location or town mentioned
No names of anyone mentioned
No pictures of the man speaking
No background to see if they are in a desert
No links to any factual reporting
nothing at all,

Just another non Igbo fantasising about the blessed Igbo race.

Hear it now people, the conclusion of the matter. Every other comment about Aniomas is irrelevant.

Cjrane2:
I have deliberately stayed away from this argument so that our people from both sides of the Niger can express their frustration and iron things out in a democratic discussion which is the hallmark of Igbo custom.

Truth is that even in the same Ika family, one brother will be 100% Igbo and the other will choose to be 100% Bini or whatever. Now how do you judge that family? If you say they are Pro Igbo, you have not accounted for the half brother than is not. If you say they are anti-igbo, you have been unjust to reject the brother that is 100% Igbo.

These things were engineered by Nigeria after the civil war to perpetually destroy the Igbo and make it a minority tribe in Nigeria. So all the Igbos at the border fringes of Igboland were approached by Nigerian vandals and through coercion or active collaboration, they got elders of those communities to declare they were not Igbo. These were all done to strip the former East Central State (SE region now) of any access to the sea and more importantly, an access to it's oil reserve.


Ofcourse a lot of families took personal decisions not to break their Igbo identity and even encouraged their sons and daughters to marry from the East Central State, while many others gleefully accepted their new non-Igbo designation and pretended to be Nigerians of no ethnic group. In the newly created Rivers state the worst atrocity of confiscating Igbo properties was enforced and that brought untold bitterness between us. Everyone went to sleep and it was thought the Igbo was finally decimated in Nigeria.

The Igbo quietly endured the loss of her investments in Port Harcourt and many parts of northern Nigeria and simply started again from the scratch. Today, Igbo has come up to speed with other people that stole their properties and these issues have come up for discussion about who is Igbo and who isn't.

Firstly, every Igbo outside of the SE knows he is Igbo. They just fear that the behavior of their elders immediately after the war cannot allow them to say who they are without sounding hypocritical. Despite this bitter history, i would ask that we find a way to unite all our peoples again. That will be the best way to pay back the Nigerian vandals who engineered this division of our people to decimate Igbo in Nigeria. If Germany united her people from the Eastern and Western block many years after World War II, Vietnam united her people in the northern and southern Vietnam after the Vietnam war into the Vietnam we know today , North Korea and South Korea are still working out modalities to unite their people, it is only reasonable for Igbo to unite her people into an Igbo nation. For the process to be genuine, mistakes of the past my be acknowledged so that they do not happen again and forgiven.

We must understand the need to unite our people when you clearly understand that the Nigeria - Biafra war ended it's shooting phase on January 12, 1970 but has continued through economic, infrastructural, representation marginalization and all sorts of exploitation of the Igbo by Nigeria

The moral of our history which we have refused to learn is that we MUST learn to invest at home. Today, the Igbo must learn to invest more at home than wherever attracts their fancy in Nigeria. Some of the greatest harm to Igbo economy by Nigeria was possible because most of her wealth were outside the East Central State which is the SE region now.

Those that think the war of Nigeria against the Igbos ended in 1970 is still living a silly dream. It is very much alive today as the blockade was alive in the 1960s, they just decided to stop the shooting. If we FAIL to LEARN from these mistakes of our fathers and repeat the same mistakes in our generation, then just like our fathers we may suddenly lose everything through a silly "QUIT NOTICE" and again start from the scratch for another generation of back breaking toil just to meet up with those who stole our investments and properties. Let us LEARN from our past mistakes and vow NEVER to repeat them

Nwa Okodu jirikwa nwayo! We may be at the risk of painting everyone with same brush and I must state that Igbo rennaisance is the highest level now more than ever before. Who could have thought that an Ikwerre man will be the Secretary General of Ohaneze in an era like ours. I saw the video of Omu Anioma when she came with her courtesans at the Ala Igbo Development event and that singular act broke hitherto fallow grounds. Lots more are happening on the positive side of Igbo integration even as the mad ones are still roaming wild. For instance,some of my closest friends are Ikas from Umunede specifically and we are completely and basically Igbo. Never have the question of their Igboness ever arose. Infact,one of them,a woman who is also a medical doctor based in London is one of the Organisers of summer Igbo language classes! Can you beat that?! For purpose of confidentiality,there are many of such I won't mention here. At least,one of the most learned Igbo historian of this generation is Chief Osita Mordi and he is Ika! Recall it was also Professor Onwuejiogwu that gave the closest details of Igbo histories of many Anioma towns. My point is this is time to get positive and shun the divisive elements among us. Ekenem Unu.

Fake news, may it happen in your own home state as you wish others.

Shukuakukobambi:
A lot of possibilities

1. The crises was sponsored by those who wanted to blackmail APC so they can have a legit reason to dump the party

2. Those who decamped were being used to sponsor the crisis before and since they left, APC and buhari no longer have anyone on ground to continue the atrocities

3. Buhari wanted to use the crisis to frustrate some out of the party and he killed their people until they got tired and left

4. PDP forced the defectors to do so by killing their people so now that they've succeeded, there's no more need to continue killing the innocent citizens

Many more theories can be adduced but these are the ones that I could think up at short notice

only toilet tissue full your empty skull.

We observed that. Seems they are afraid?

Do you see anything wrong with nepotism?

Just because the man dumped the killer party?

nduka84:
haha haha. Though I never said the southwest is underdeveloped . It's clear you are just typing that as your own personal opinion and observation. Thus, I live it at that. but I still would want you to understand, that a strategic business location may be underdeveloped, but still possess huge business promises. Nigeria and Africa wasn't developed when the white men discovered it, but they still came in and tapped our solid Minerals to their own advantages, and made billions of pounds and Stellings from it. They took the monies back to their own countries, and used it to develop their own country. It's same thing igbos are doing. Most big igbo business men, made their wealth by traveling to exploit business opportunities in other places, all over the world, it's not just restricted to the southwest alone. Igbos are everywhere, just like the jews, Chinese, Indians, Arabs etc. A docile tribe that doesn't travel , Interact, and socialize with other tribes, round the globe, are always retrogressive and not progressive.

Told them!

flames01:
You can't compare your tribe to the Chinese. The Chinese respect the cultures of others, but your tribe doesn't because your tribe lacks culture. That's why even a dog can earn a chieftancy title in igbo land. :DSo, you are far from the Chinese.

But we and the Chinese consistently raid your land and build our countries to high standards. Who cares about your ritualistic cultures
