LesbianBoy: Imo state is known for KIDNAPPING! Remember it was there Nkiru sylvANUS was kidnapped!Chai see foolishness on display! How can Imo be known for kidnapping when Osisikankwu is not from the state? So because Nkiru was kidnapped now means that Imo is known for kidnapping, in Delta state, a commisioner, a special adviser, a chief justice and Okonjo Iweala's mum were all kidnapped in one year alone! In Rivers state; corpers, special adviser, a royal king etc were kidnapped last year alone! Anambra, Enugu, Edo etc all recorded worse kidnapping incidents yet you single out Imo! It is either you are a mischievous kid, an adult with an abysmally low IQ or a demented fool. Now piss off and go get a life! 4 Likes |

nollywood20: [size=18pt]Please, do you understand the question in English or should I translate it into Igbo?Now I know the reason why you opened this thread, your plan was to cast opprobium on Imo but thank God, your plan has backfired and the opposite of your evil intention has been achieved. Now tell us your state if you are man enough and lets compare with Imo, LOOSER! |

Abagworo:No Abagworo, Abia is a homogenous state made up of 100 percent Igbo people, the Itu mbu uzo you mentioned and Intigha uzo their neighbors are both of Ngwa stock, rather Cross river has some Igbo areas in their domain expecially around Ogoja axis. |

jajajaja828: He has already cleared himself that it is Dan Pius Anyiam. The name of the Owerri stadium is "Dan Anyiam". I've only seen few Imo girls involved in that. If you understand Igbo language just walk past a congregation of girls and listen to their dialect.Forget about where they tell you they are from. All na wash. 1 Like |

He did not write that Imo stands behind Anambra in education but in business. Yorubas insult us Ndigbo here a lot because some chaps cant read before chatting, or can't read clearly. I once wrote that Dan Pius Anyiam is from Imo state only for some half blind dudes to say he is from Ebonyi state. They can't differentiate between Anyiam and Anyim. Must one always comment?. |

Imo State has one of the highest female literacy index in Nigeria. Prostitution is often associated with lower level of education, which oten limits the female practitioner other source of income. Fairly educated women know the dangers and shames associated with prostitution, and generally shy away from it. Is not then puzzling to associate the mostly better educated Imo ladies with prostitution? Something is wrong with the picture. It surely must be some misconception. The Imo State I know is the one that family members looks out for another, and help each becomes better individual in life. A state where schooling and education is deemed very important since the days 'Eze goes to school', 'Without a silver-spoon' I surmise that Imo State is synonymous with education, and being ones brother's keeper! |

Biafra rep: Imo state has the highest literacy rate in Nigeria, even old women in the villages can read and write. Mbaise axis has the highest number of graduates/undergraduates per capita in Nigeria. Imo produces the highest number of nollywood actors eg Genevieve Nnaji, Eucharia Anunobi, Rita Dominic, Kanayo O Kanayo, Victor Osuagwu etc. In sports Imo produced Nigeria's first olympic gold medlist in Chioma Ajunwa, more than half of female team players in Nigeria originate from Imo state. Imo is the richest state in the SE. Its capital Owerri is the centre of tourism in Nigeria. Business men and industrialists like orange drugs owner, ABC transport, Zinox computers etc are from the state.... In summary, Imo is a great state in Nigeria!tel those " my viRRAGE is LICHER than ur VIRRAGE "brothers from u know where.if not for old imo which incudes abia and part of rivers state iboland would hav just been tagged chestbeating lillylivered illiterate and backward traders.do u know which part of iboland that capitulated first during the warr nd dat produced the most traitors to d cause?oh let me not start a thread on this one! 1 Like |

Afam4eva:Afam, Aro people originally from Nri clan, Achebe's trilogy and John Munonye's 'The Only Son' are helpful to understanding the still on-going clash between Christian and Igbo ideas, institutions and concepts. But you might go further to read about the clash in hard history. To do that you'd have to read 'The Ropes of Sand' by A.E.Afigbo. Igbo parents never wanted their children to become Christians, so they instructed them to go only to the mission schools, and not the churches, not knowing that the mission schools and the churches were the same.The differences between the two were systems-the Igbo, and the Christian, were/are too profound. Even in the very early days, Igbos who became Christians stopped seeing the family, but the church as the centre of everything. In Omenana it is not so, after God, the parents come in relevance. You revered your father and mother, as the 10 Commandments which is the bedrock of Omenana commanded. Agulerii... |

Imolites are probably the most educated in Igboland,I give that to them. Now let's get to the business you just started; You see, people like you are the real reason why Umu-Omanbala will always retaliate and tear you lots down. This thread was started for Imo but you came here to bash Umu-Omanbala because your irredeemable insecurities won't let you.....Yes,we are Omanbala and we call rice "Lice",call London "rondon",richer "licher". But guess what else,if it wasn't for Omanbala you will amount to a baaastaard! You dare call fearless Omanbalas "lilly livered","chest beating" illiterate traders. I'm not surprise because this isn't the first time I have heard such garbage from Imolites and your Enugu weaklings! But let me spell one thing out for you hateful heart.......OMANBALAS are the ALPHA and OMEGA of IGBO LAND! ITS THE WAY GOD MADE IT....ALL FINGERS ARE NOT EQUAL BUT YOU CAN KEEP HATING. If you eediots dare me to attack Imolites I will gladly do so and make a mince meat out of you monkeys....We will always lead in Igboland because God made it like that! |

NRI PRIEST: Frankly, the level of hatred shown by many Anambrians on Nairaland against Imo indigenes is noticeable even by non-Igbos. Nothing from Imo goes without condemnation from you or Chino and yet when I tell you that we ain't same people you'll be arguing . |
