Well, I've been in Ebonyi State for about 4 years now and compared to the other Eastern States I've lived in, Enugu and Anambra, the indigies are very peaceful, hospitable people.

[quote author=passion007]Akanu Ibiam
Akanu Ibiam (1906–1995) was a distinguished medical missionary who was appointed Governor of Eastern Region, Nigeria from December 1960 until January 1966 during the Nigerian First Republic.[1] From 1919 to 1951, he was known as Francis Ibiam, and from 1951 to 1967, Sir Francis Ibiam.
Following the war, Ibiam continued work on reconstruction and hospital service. Ibiam was responsible for the Bible Society of Nigeria and the Christian Medical Fellowship. He became a president of the All Africa Conference of Churches.[3]

Ibiam died in December 1995. More than 20,000 people attended his funeral in Unwana.[8] The Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, the Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Unwana, Ebonyi State, and the Francis Akanu Ibiam stadium University of Nigeria, Nsukka are named after him.

John Ogbu:
Born in the village of Umudome in Ebonyi State, John Uzo Ogbu (May 9, 1939 – 20 August 2003) was a Nigerian-American anthropologist and professor known for his theories on observed phenomena involving race and intelligence, especially how race and ethnic differences played out in educational and economic achievement. He suggested that being a "caste-like minority" affects motivation and achievement, depressing IQ scores. He also concluded that some students did poorly because high achievement was considered "acting white" among their peers. Ogbu was also involved in the 1996 controversy surrounding the use of African American Vernacular English in public schools in Oakland, California. The 2000 book Eminent Educators: Studies in Intellectual Influence focused on him as one of "four intellectual giants of the 20th century."
He died in 2003 after suffering from a post-surgery heart attack at the Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center. He is survived by his wife, Marcellina Ada Ogbu, and his children Elizabeth, Nnanna, Grace, Cecilia, and Christina. He was buried in Nigeria.

Prince Nick Mbarga
Prince Nico Mbarga (1 January 1950 – 24 June 1997) was a highlife musician, born to a Nigerian mother and a Cameroonian father in Abakaliki, Nigeria. He is renowned for his hit song "Sweet Mother", recorded with his band Rocafil Jazz.
Although he only recorded one significant hit, "Sweet Mother," in 1976, which sold more than 13 million copies (and which is recognised as one of Africa's greatest songs), Mbarga played an important role in the evolution of African popular music. With his soulful vocals set to the light melodies of his acoustic guitar, Mbarga created a unique hybrid of Igbo and Congolese guitar playing and uplifting highlife rhythms. He formed his own group, Rocafil Jazz, to perform regularly at the Plaza Hotel in the eastern Nigerian city of Onitsha.

After releasing a disappointing single in 1973, Mbarga and Rocafil Jazz had their first success with their second single, I No Go Marry My Papa, which became a regional hit. The band's inability to break past their local following resulted in their recording contract being dropped by EMI, a decision that proved ill-fortuned when the band signed with Rogers All Stars, a Nigerian recording company based in Onitsha, and recorded "Sweet Mother".[1]

Sung in Pidgin English, "Sweet Mother" became one of the top sellers in the history of Nigerian music. In the six years that Mbarga and Rocafil Jazz remained with Rogers All Stars, 1975 to 1981, they recorded nine albums.

I can't believe this write.up will end without mentioning the likes of Prof. Aja Nwachukwu, Dr. Ogbonaya Onu, Dr Pius Anyim. Aja Nwachukwu junior. Etc

Skipping Aja Nwachukwu was an oversight
But I deliberately didn't mention the rest who got to fame on the wings of PDP

vanndubi:

This one you are not Igbo and you grew up that side, learning Afikpo dialect will be an uphill task. All the same, it will good to understand "tiko tiko" (apoco apoco, little by little, small small) smiley

Before I forget, Afikpo people are the most cultured people in Igboland. They are just unfortunate to be in the same state with people that are somewhat backward undecided oops

Akanu Ibiam himself master minded the creation of Ebonyi state. A state named after the ebonyi river that flows round the state. I'm from Onicha. So there's nothing unfortunate there. Though we're the minority but maybe AfiaOha state will be better. Afikpo and Ohaozara.

I don't have probs with Ohaozara, Onicha or Edaa. My probs is that other part that came from Old Enugu state. matching with them is like doing right-left, right-left instead of left-right, left-right undecided
