God forbid any connection with us with Afonjas...no way Jesus Christ! These people want to attach to Igbos by fire, by force. Your brothers are in Contonuo and Lakuku in South Sudan.

I know an Idoma chick called Ada. I asked her the meaning and she said it means 'first daughter'.
Igbo kwenu!

No1Tribalist:


Lies! Ada is not pronounced the same way in Igbo and Idoma. Why the lies? I know you have a perennial urge to be like your mentor, Cow-nunu-milk but please take it easy.

igbodefender:
One of our military drivers we had when I was growing up, his name was Moses. One day a relation of mine asked him his surname. He answered that his surname was Okwute.

Surprised, the relation asked him the meaning of Okwute in his language. He answered that it means 'stone'!!!

Well, guess what!? Okwute means the same thing in Igbo!!

That man is David Mark's brother.

Now going to the Ada from Idoma I talked about in the earlier post, she confirmed it with her own mouth that her name Ada meant 'first daughter'.

On your comment that it doesn't sound the same like the Igbo Ada: it doesn't matter whether it sounds the same like in 'normal' Igbo language. You know why? Try this experiment: ask an An English descended American to pronounce the word 'today'; then ask an English descended Australian to pronounce 'today'. You will see a big difference in pronunciation, even though it is the same English word with the same meaning.

Having said that , let me shock you the more: The Idoma pronunciation of their name Ada is the same with the 'normal Igbo' pronunciation of the same name! That was why I was so surprised when the said Ada told me she was Idoma.

Judgement: We may not agree with everything Nnamdi KANU says, but on his insinuation that Igbo and Idoma have more in common than the letter 'I' at the beginning of their names, he is very very correct.

That is why we continue appealing to Nnamdi Kanu to give Nigeria another chance, so that he can play a leading role in the cultural reaching out to and unification of all Igbo groups in Nigeria, from Benue to Anambra to Rivers. He cannot do that if he leads the South East out of Nigeria.

Early life and education
Mark was born in Zungeru Niger State in April 1948. He attended St. Francis Catholic Practicing School before attending the Nigerian Military School then he attended the Nigerian Defence Academy .[5] He was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in 1970 and became a Captain in 1971. He was Commandant of Static Communications in 1974, then later held a political post as Chairman Abandoned Properties Implementation Committee in the Eastern region in 1976. [6]
Minister
Mark headed the Communications Ministry and its two major parastatals: NITEL and NIPOST. As Minister of Communications Mark was sometimes known for his blunt talk; during a two-day walking tour of facilities in Akure in 1989, some union workers complained that some of its members had not been promoted since 1978, Mark's response was that those who have not been promoted may have to be retired,[6] basing his argument that unproductive workers will have to be let go. He also espoused the opinion of death penalty for telecom cable thieves and a policy of dismantling under-utilized telecom facilities citing political considerations for giving allocations to towns with limited use of phone networks.
Senate of Nigeria
Mark was elected to his position as President of the Senate of Nigeria on June 6, 2007. [7]
David Mark ran for re-election to the Senate for Benue South in April 2011 and was elected for a fourth term. [8] David Mark noted that the polls pointed to his decisive victory, and called for his opponents to work together to improve Nigeria. [9]
When leading the review of the Constitution , Mark reportedly urged his colleagues to set their personal interests and focus on the interests of the Nigerian people. [10] After the UK criticized Nigeria's Prohibition of Same-Sex Marriage bill, threatening to pull their foreign aid, Mark responded that they "should keep [their] aid." [11] Mark called Nigeria's National Football Federation the "centre of corruption in the country", suggesting that they may need to temporarily disband to allow for reconstruction. [12]
Personal life
Mark and his wife Mrs Kate Mark have children. David Mark is polygamous and is also married to Omale, Helen and Randa. He was also married to Priye a Bayelsa women and embroiled in a high-profile divorce in the year 2000. He enjoys golf ,

Isn't that Igoche AKA "King Goch", the one I'm seeing there?

One of the most notorious Baggars in Texas and a crook per excellence!

Why am i not surprised?

Ipob, try harder. Come on! Pay better people good money to pay you visits and not street hustlers like these who would twist and turn in any direction peanuts are coming from.

Always remember this from the APEX IDOMA SOCIOCULTURAL ORGANISATION, and stop this disgraceful attachment by force.

Nnamdi Kanu Asks Former Senate Pres. David Mark To Tell The World His Middle Name . David Mark middle name is "Alechenu" an Igbo name. He also dresses constantly as an Igbo man with red cap. The same red cap won by one of the Idoma men who came to visit Kanu today...video below. You must know that Idoma people call their first daughter "Ada" like Igbos do. They also have the same market days as Igbos.


Idoma people visit Kanu

Afonja; enemy of unity and progress.

Amarabae:
Nnamdi Kanu is turning into a comedian.
The name of Our Methodist Archbishop here in Abuja is Oche Job.
The oche is an idoma name and he is a Benue man.
Though the oche sound a bit Igbo.
Igbos and idomas are just neighbours, thats all.
Kanu stop embarrasing Igbos pls and Idomas are not Biafrans.

No1Tribalist:


I know what you want to say. That because it means that Nnamdi Kanu is a fool in Igbo doesn't mean it means the same thing in Idoma. In Idoma, it means that Yeebos are tribe stealers.

Now stop stealing people's tribes and get a life. Compile a list of words that Afonjass share with Yeebos and think of claiming Affonjaz instead.

No1Tribalist:


Lies! Ada is not pronounced the same way in Igbo and Idoma. Why the lies? I know you have a perennial urge to be like your mentor, Cow-nunu-milk but please take it easy.

illuminated93:
Is the meaning of oche in igbo any different from benue?
I know you are igbo,but truth is you have your ideas rooted deep in the propanganda orchestrated by the hausa/Fulani feudalists. If you have an idoma friend,when he speaks you should pick one or two things.

No1Tribalist:


It can mean ANYTHING in Idoma and its meaning may have NOTHING to do with whatever it may seem to mean in Yeeboe language. Kai!

Igbo people. You just want to claim the entire Naijeria for yourself. Can't you be satisfied with your landlocked 5 states once and for all?

I blame Nna Manu Udi for all these.
