greggng: Ibos re great people no doubt. I love their industrous nature. The only problem I ve with them is how the could regard some set of people as osu outcaste. Their reason for doing that is cultural which is against Gods law.I just pray must ibos will not end up in hell for establishing this evil. On the part of yorubas I hate what the called oru a culture that permits them to take the lifes of some people that mistakenly come back late at night when oru is going on.I would ve been a victim but God saved me. This culture if not stopped will make must people end up in hell.don't know about the hausas except boko haram who will by their actions end up in hellthank u sis , but there is nothing like OSU in Igbo land again, they have corrected it.. everybody is now free 4 Likes |

Let me clarify issues. 1) Ikwerre is Ikwerre. 2) Ikwerre isnt a subgroup of anytribe. 3) Igbos should stop mentioning Ikwerre in their writeups. Let nobody quote me or Amadioha will strike the person. 2 Likes |

"Some thirty years ago the Ibos (sic) began to move in to trade in the riverine areas. Eventually many settled and by sheer force of numbers began to dominate the smaller tribes. Igbo came to be so widely used that certain tribes practically lost their mother tongue. . . A determined effort is now being made to remedy the situation . . . Igbo was officially taught and spoken in school. It could hardly be otherwise, since most of the teachers were Ibos (sic). Gradually many local languages were eroded. As the Bible had not been translated into the minority languages, the Igbo Bible and prayer books were used in schools and churches." Sunset in Biafra, pg21, by Elechi Amadi. |

Question: Some people say that Igbo language is not complete, is it true? Answer: No language is complete. All languages borrow from each other. Igbo language is very rich. It has inexhaustible and rich linguistic features like idioms, proverbs, aphorisms, sayings, anecdotes, riddles, folklores, etc. [Igbo language is one of the major languages of the world, being spoken by millions of people] - POSTULATIONS YOUR IBO ARTISTES INDUCE YORUBA LANGUAGE TO THEIR SONG. IT IS RARE TO SEE IBO MOVIE WHICH THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE IS USE |

Zoharariel:Lagos was initially ojukwu's fathers land before the civil war. It was given to the yorubas as a price for awolowos betrayal to the igbo. But we are back to take wat is rightfully ours.

minkawe: The good thing about Igbo is their enterprising nature coupled with humility. I think the tribe is a blessing to Nigeria, check the nooks and crannies and you find these set of people putting themselves to good use.

And what moves are the 21st century, enlightened, caste-system-hating Igbos making to stem this tide in Igboland? ...Or has this barbaric, unbiblical, ungodly and despicably loathsome practice come to stay in Alaigbo?

ChrisOD: You didn't realise you have stated the main problem with world as whole! It is the dominating nature of certain group of races that made the world the nightmare; it is now! Do not try to dominate other to their injury, cause they will learn to hate you! See what Isreal is doing to Palestine and the western are doing to the black people, the muslim to people who don't share their belief, and soon on. These the root cause of all the unrest and pain in the word! As you Igbo would say "live and let's us live" your over dominating attitude negate that beautiful idiom! 7 Likes |
