GossipHeart:At a time, I was tempted to call you a fool like you did, but I won't. We're very different. Igbo (Igbo [iɡ͡boː] ; English /ˈɪɡboʊ/ ; [5] archaically Ibo /ˈiːboʊ/ ) [5] (Igbo: Asụsụ Igbo ), is the principal native language of the Igbo people , an ethnic group of southeastern Nigeria. There are approximately 24 million speakers, who live mostly in Nigeria and are primarily of Igbo descent. The Igbo people, often erroneously spelled and pronounced " Ibo " (because certain Europeans had difficulty making the /ɡ͡b/ sound), [2] are an indigenous linguistic and cultural people of southern Nigeria . Geographically, the Igbo homeland is divided into two unequal sections by the Niger River – an eastern (which is the larger of the two) and a western section. [3][4] Culturally and linguistically, the Niger River has provided an easy means of communication and unity amongst the Igbo natives on both sides, as well as promoted ancient trade and movement of peoples between Igboland and rest of the world. [3] Known as Ndi Igbo in the Igbo language and sometimes identified by their respective Igboid dialects or subgroupings, such the Anioma and the Ngwa , the culture of the Igbos has been shaped primarily by Igboland's rainforest climate, its historic trades, ancient migration folklores and social ties with its neighbours as well as far-flung trading and political allies and lately with the Europeans through colonization and the entire Western World through globalization. [3] They speak Igbo , which includes various Igboid languages and dialects. [5][6] The Igbo homeland is almost surrounded on all sides by other ethnic peoples of southern and central Nigeria namely, the Ijaw , Edo , Itsekiri , Ogoni, Igala, Tiv, Yako , Idoma and Ibibio .[3] The Igbo people are one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa.[7] In rural Nigeria, Igbo people work mostly as craftsmen, farmers and traders. The most important crop is the yam; celebrations take place annually to celebrate its harvesting. [8] Other staple crops include cassava and taro .[9] The Igbos are also highly urbanized, with some of the largest cities and metropolitan areas in Igboland being Onitsha , Enugu , Aba , Asaba , Owerri, Port Harcourt , Umuahia , Abakaliki and Agbor. Before British colonial rule , the Igbo were a politically fragmented group. There were variations in culture such as in art styles, attire and religious practices. Various subgroups were organized by clan, lineage , village affiliation, and dialect. There were not many centralized chiefdoms, hereditary aristocracy, or kingship customs except in kingdoms such as those of the Nri , Arochukwu , Agbor and Onitsha . [10] This political system changed significantly under British colonialism in the early 20th century; Frederick Lugard introduced Eze (kings) into most local communities as "Warrant Chiefs". [11] The Igbo became overwhelmingly Christian under colonization. Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart is one of the most popular novels to depict Igbo culture and changes under colonialism.

GossipHeart:...and the tribe is IBO? smh. soon you'll tell me Yoruba is not a tribe but language. and Hausa is not a tribe but language too. Its only written or pronounced as IBO by people who don't know or can't call the GB sound. Don't turn my tribe and language upside down pls. 2 Likes |
Health / Re: Amina Suffers Stevens-Johnson Syndrome In Katsina After Taking Septrin (Graphic) by vonn(f): 11:22am On Jun 01, 2016 |
I think I should believe that our body make-up can change as we advance. For example, when I was much younger, anytime those big black ants bite me, the pains come like pins and gradually subside after I've applied palm oil. Fast forward to years later, the same specie of ant bit me and I started reacting- itchy, swollen skin and rashes all over, even after applying oil. My point= what if she had used it in the past and nothing happened, but then using septrin now became a different outcome? |
Health / Re: Amina Suffers Stevens-Johnson Syndrome In Katsina After Taking Septrin (Graphic) by vonn(f): 11:03am On Jun 01, 2016 |
Septrin was prescribed to me as a kid. The effect was rashes ALL OVER my body. But it was treated. Since then, once I go to a hospital different from that of my family doctor, I keep on hammering I don't take sulphuric drugs especially Septrin. My secondary and university health centres even have it written all over my file-front, back, up and down. Even a nurse or doctor with eye problem would see it clearly. No time to dull ooo. Once bitten, twice shy. |

Op, a great story you have here...and I've been following for a while now. But I must advise... Don't because of people pressurising you to update give us ANYTHING. Take your time to think and put down your words for the next post. Make sure you go through it carefully and make corrections (your last post has a lot of error). And please, punctuation is essential. Space the work too. In a conversation, every statement made by each person should be on a new line. Don't get everything packed up. Some people may find it difficult to read. I think you should work on how to express the emotions too. In all, you're doing a good job. Keep it up.. 2 Likes |
