Abagworo:

Ok for Enugu we have the Etteh people while for Abia we have "Itu mbu uzo".

Biafra rep: 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.

Haybayray: Kanu Nwankwo Papilo and Dick Tiger are from imo state. A resplendent show of talents...

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!

Afam4eva:
Where are these Igala people located? I only know of Anambra having indigenous Igala people and not Enugu. Does Abia have Ibibio people or people with mixed heritage? I mean, do they have 100% Ibibio people like in Akwa Ibom state. I hope you're not referring to people from Arochukwu, Ohafia etc.

NRI PRIEST:

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!

PointB: 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!

Heheheheheheee

So you are trying say that Imo State is not synonymous with high level lose women abi?!

I dey laugh!!

If I talk now, una go disqualify me from next year election..

Anyways, carry o!! We dey watch!!
