xfactor23: Does he represent all Anambra people here? Was Zik arrogant? Was Ojukwu arrogant? Did they at any point tried to look down on other Igbos? Zik was Anambra man who decided to build UNN in Nsukka, how many of your present governors would agree to build a new University be it private or state anywhere outside the vicinity of their hometowns? The Ikwerres would hold unto any thrash to justify their current shameless Igbophobia, you would be naive to Side them over your Anambra brothers, when they consider both you and Anambra as same "ele Isoma" in their little mindsets. Ikwerres had problem with the ascension of Nzimiro as the mayor of PH, with NCNC support. Tell me, was Nzimiro an Anambra man? Was he not from Oguta in Imo state? 13 Likes 2 Shares |

We learn new things each day. Thanks to Nnamdijonathan, I never knew that the British Nigerian flag had a star of David crested on it, nor that the star was associated with the aguleris in 1917. I will be visiting wikipedia to learn more. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

pazienza: One of the tragedies of the young generation of Igbos not reading their history is that they have NO IDEA why the civil war happened and they have been brainwashed by Nigerian propaganda that Ojukwu caused it.Just like i keep telling Igbos today thinking their will be no war in Nigeria because they are asking for referendum not war. War isn't fought because you wanted no war, it is fought because the other guy thrust it upon you and you have no other choice but to fight. The only thing restraining Fulanis from killing off villages and taking over their land is that they have tasted the Biafran war and know that war isn't a straightforward affair. Ojukwu had no choice but to declare Biafra after Igbos had been massacred enmass TWICE around Nigeria and the FG and the Nigerian army simply did nothing to stop it. Nigerians don't talk about events that led to Igbos running to their homeland for shelter, they ONLY tell you Ojukwu declared Biafra! As if Ojukwu were a war lord that just enjoyed to fight wars. Our youths should read about the pogroms on innocent civilians just because Nzeogwu was part of a coup The same Nzeogwu was born and raised in Kaduna and he spoke Hausa and very little Igbo. Yet, it is the Igbos that were to be blamed and killed enmass for his actions. War can be forced on you and no matter what you do, your aggressor will keep killing you until you either choose to fight and die on your feet like a man, or you will be killed as a coward. Either way, you will be killed. Ojukwu chose to fight like a man and convinced his people to keep giving war to the Nigerians until every side was totally tired and then common sense will prevail on the side of the northerners to stop the killing of Igbos so that the country can live in peace. 20 Likes 1 Share |

Handsomegod: If you're saying he claimed humans originated in Asia it means you didn't listen to what he said properly. The Moors, who were Arabs that enslaved black Africans, have nothing to do with the discussion, so why would they be brought up in a Ted talk with limited time? No credible scholar, of whatever background, subscribes to the Igbo Hebrew theory, yes, white people can write nonsense books as well you know and many of those books are not even a defence of the Igbo Hebrew theory, rather a documentary on it, similar to how somebody would write a book about the Amish in America.

pazienza: Zik was arrogant....one of the reasons a country called Nigeria still stands today is because of gaffes he made to further his own political career. Ojukwu was a lot more arrogant. Being the first uni graduate in Nigerian army, he saw himself as naploeon of some sorth and took his own opinions too seriously without realising wat is real and wat isnt. As for zik building unn in nsukka, it doesnt mean much considering that many people have done similar things. Gowon could have made jos nigeria's capital or u can say that ESUT which was built in Enugu 1980 should have been built in jim nwobodo's nkanu? U may not see it...or u may actually see it but decide to ignore it...but the superiority complex of people from anambra is nauseating....and childish too... Considering the fact that all the igbo leaders who ever came from there actually failed in their core objective (wat ever it was at the time)...all of them. From zik who wanted to govern nigeria to ojukwu who wanted to govern biafra to ekwueme who wanted to be president....all out manouvered by 'educationally challenged north'. But look at ekweremadu from enugu...see how he has remained relevant without being confrontational. Being loud is not being right. U wanna be right? Try might. Might is right. Look at Aro empire and Nri empire. While Aro turned ibibios (abiriba) and ijaws (bonny) into igbos the nri empire from 'omanbala' ended up losing so many igbo clans to benin. Even while chimaroke was rebuilding enugu, u guys turned ur state into an arena of blood and poverty with bakassi et all and all but ran to enugu as refugees. U guys come online and insult the rest of igbos and say things like 'anambra is destined to rule igbos'. Yet i cant for the life of me see wat u guys have specially achieved to be so loud. Most papers say the richest igbomen from south east are rochas or orji kalu while tge ruchest igboman is elumelu from delta. The most popular stars of igbo origin are equally spread among states. The political leader in igboland of today is ekweremadu from enugu. why u guys havent realised the dignity and strenght in being calm is wat i dont knw. The loudest igbos are from anambra and ur brash ways have many times led to the death of igbos...or to igbos making unnessesary enemies. I come from enugu. Enugu is one of the most beautiful cities in nigeria (special thanks to sullivan chime). Enugu was capital of so many entities...including biafra and old anambra state. While onitsha was making the list of most poluted cities in the world, enugu was in the list of most resilient cities But u can never see an enugu man feeling superior nor insult other igbos. The OMANBALA1 who just said the silliest thing i have ever read since i started following this thread is actually a guy whose post i have always liked in the past and who i respect a lot. But as a tru 'omanbala' (wateva that word means), he has to come and say that he is anambra 1st and igbo 2nd. As If if he goes to lagos..lets see whether he would be called anambraboy or igboboy. I personally wouldnt have wrote this post...but once in a while u just have to tell someone how they are. 7 Likes 1 Share |

[s] nnamdijonathan:[/s] Propagandist Abagworo, asking INNOSON to fabricate airforce parts and military vehicles because France and USA will no longer supply Nigerian military isn't the same as a state policy to patronize "MADE IN NIGERIA " CARS no matter where they were made in Nigeria. Also, the FG purchases about 3,000 - 4,000 cars yearly for civil servants, members of the armed forces, and other government agencies. Buying 30 or 40 of such from Innoson isn't exactly patronizing the company if it were a state policy to buy "Made in Nigeria" no matter the part of Nigeria the goods were made. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Pple like nonsowow bestviewer juliusmalema yyeska all claim to be from anambra...and they are all igbo haters. Now omambala1 has joined such a terrible list. I noticed that wen he made his very unnessesary gaffe...none of the anambra posters here called him out...but wen he got replied by xfactor, all of u started calling xfactor out.

Now take some lectures. As at the time Zik built UNN, wawa people are still in the forest jumping around with monkeys. When Zik went to America to study was it your father or grand father sent him? Was it igbos that asked him to fight for independence? He took it upon himself to liberate Nigeria from colonial masters. Ojukwu did the same he was never appointed by the IGBOS but his actions and how he took up the courage to defend Igboland was what led Igbos into adoring him till today. What's Ekweremmadu? An ordinary useless deputy senate president? Anambra man was the first senate president of Nigeria. Anambra man was the first Speaker of house of Representatives. Anambra man was the first president of Nigeria. Where were your so called Enugu state people then? There's nothing beautiful about Enugu. Enugu is more a less an overhyped town filled with slum, poor people, etc. Enugu has nothing to boast of, absolutely nothing. Enugu state people are so backward in all spheres. In education Enugu state is still trailing some northern states. So shut and stop mentioning Enugu because you guys have nothing. This is a town that does not have a single vibrant company. Any business that opens there failed almost immediately. Presidential hotel in PH opened same time With Presidential hotel Enugu, but today the one in Enugu is dead, Nike lake is dead. Nigerian brewery is on life support. Zik made Jim Nwobodo gov, without him no wawa person would ever rule the state as at that time. You people are inferior sore losers that are always in pain and bitterness. Yes Anambra people are the 1st class Igbos, kill yaself but none of you can ever use blackmail to get me. Without Anambra people there would have been nothing like Igbo. Go and read Zik's address in 1947. Go and read Ojukwu's Ahira declaration of 1969. Anambra people are not even making noise considering how many 'first' they have recorded in politics, education, science, technology, etc. Just that Ekweremmadu is a DSP, an ordinary spare tyre in the Senate and you are even listing it as an achievement. You people are so inferior and backward mentally and otherwise. [s] Bede2u:[/s] 6 Likes |

InyinyaAgbaOku: I never said that they migrated from Isreal or Jamaica or whatever ...the thing is that Igbo as a group Ian not a new term..... When the ancient ones or the forefather will break kolanut they would say Igbo kwenu ! Igbo bu igbo kwenu and they know themselves as Igbo that is why as far as Enugu at the fringes with Benue we have town that is Akụkụ Igbo the as far south at the fringes with Ogoni we have Igbo town as Obigbo and towards the Ijaws we have Igbo town names Umuigbo then in the heart of Igbo (Anambra) we have an Igbo town named Azuigbo and Igbo Ukwu .....then when leaving Igbo town to Benin we have an Igbo town names Igbo bi n'uzor (igbuzor) So these guys know they are Igbo and they names their entry points Igbo names! What you would say is that they might not have a unifying factor or ruler be sure they are Republican but they know themselves as Igbo even the first book written by African Olaudah Equiano made it clear Towards the Effik, the arochukwu named their town (Ehi igbo ) So if you write in public do so with facts and not hearsay Thank me for the lectures 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Bede2u: By insulting ojukwu or zik u now feel alright? Imagine ekweremmadu igbo poltical...what an insult...a criminal who brought python dance to kill innocent igboss is what someone in a saner society is called a leader....maybe coz he is docile position of DSP or what I don't know. What has the dark ape called ekweremmadu achieved if I may ask...if the roads in his community is purely bad, even small enugu airport he can't even do the needful. Anambra have superiority complex coz they are involved in superior arguments...... Am first Anambra before igbo....that state and her people comes first before any other thing......

Bede2u most of the monikers quoting you are not from Anambra, one is from Benin married to an Anambra lady the others are Arewa people residing in the east. You should learn to ignore certain things, I was like you in the past but seeing that those people ain't my people made me retrace my step. Watch how they will derail the discussion going on because of your post but they will never add anything meaningful to the thread other than to attack other Igbo state. |
