Pazienza, we must continue . You can never separate "Omambala " from "Anambra", that's the point I am making.

Now read more from the ANSG website..

Don't waste your time on pazienza. He is passing through so many depression over non achievable dreams and future fictions.

Same way he wanted to challenge a simple tongue yesterday with ITK but ran away when beaten.


Don't stress yourself on him.

RareDiamond:
You are not an Igbo man. We don't want stup1d contributions on this thread. You are obviously a depressed person who is senselessly fixated on Igbo affairs.

Unbiased1:


hahhahahaahahahaahahaha
That guy is mentally unstable.

ChinenyeN:


The same way Ijaw people will disagree with you Igboists that Bonny and Opobo is Igbo, yet you people still open your mouths to argue with Ijaw, despite your ignorance of the origins and migrations of communities within the Ngwa-Asa-Ndoki axis, ọ'ụ kwa ya? The difference here is that Ngwa are not ignorant of the actual migrations and origins in the area, and a host of corroboration exists.

When we see Ijaw get upset over Bonny we laugh. As if Agba did not come from Umuagbayi and likewise Umuagbayi from Ohnaznu. Look, I don't have a problem stating it now, because I've stated it before in the past here on NL. Ndoki is an offshoot of Ngwa, plain and simple. We can leave the Umueze clan out of the offshoot statement however, because they migrated into the area recently/newly (late 19th century) in the company of Ijaw. We can be clear that they did not migrate directly from any of the communities north of them, so they are probably not Ngwa. Of course, that is unless they migrated from any of the communities in Ikwerre (judging by Umueze’s dialect) that has Ngwa affiliation in the company of their Kalabari Ijaw compatriots. For now however, we will simply exclude the entirety of Umueze.

There are still Opobo people to this day who say Ngwa via Bonny via Umuagbayi. Even if Ngwa itself were to never say anything, corroboration abounds.




Yes. I am saying exactly that. This isn’t news. This idea of an all-encompassing, shared ethnic identity is the effect of war. Europeans gave you all your label and you all transformed it into a monolithic ethnic identity when war came and then grew an active Igbo consciousness post-war. Stating anything else would be lying, and we all know it. You want to assume that your ancestors cared about “interlinked”, despite the fact that there is a mountain of evidence that shows that we never shared a consciousness with each other until Europeans gave us a label. Many communities never even knew the word “Igbo” and first heard it from Europeans. We never shared an identity until Europeans created one for us and we cemented it post-war. This is another one of those hard pills of honesty that people like you have to learn to swallow.

Isu people were not safe in Ngwa for centuries, because we considered them as outright strangers. They were expanding and fleeing the effects of the transatlantic slave trade in their region, and it took the kindness of Amumarna people to eventually allow them a modicum of protection as they tried to settle in the Ngwa-Ehilihita axis. We dubbed them “ohnuhnu” because they were coming from Ohnuhnu’s side of the Imo. Ehilihita called them “isoma” as they were not considered affiliated to any of the preexisting, autochthonous communities in the region (Ahiara, Ehilihita, etc.). This is just one example and there are countless others. Everything anyone tries to say about a pre-colonial umbrella consciousness is post-war Igbo propaganda. It’s time to be pragmatic and put an end to that, just as how you should put an end to defining the boundaries of Igbo beyond the SE.

B2mario:
another rubbish I can't waste my time to react to. So it was Europeans that gave us the name, Igbo and Ndi Ngwa call other Igbos Ohuhu because they came from Ohuhu side?. Wonders shall never end. What is the actual meaning of Ohuhu in Ngwa dialect?

Some people are out to destroy Igbo unity but they will not succeed.

MelesZenawi:
I don't know why Abia is so much associated with nuisance.

Look at what ChinenyeN and Okpalaanambra , two Abia sons are doing here.

Michael Okpara will be boiling in his grave.

ChinenyeN:


Then leave us be, Puritan. O siri gị ike?

ChinenyeN:


You're choosing to play dumb B2mario. If you had any sense, you would know that I never once stated not insinuate that Europeans gave us any of those words or names. Don't come here putting words in my mouth in an attempt to gain likes for yourself. You might really want to consider going back and reading my words again for comprehension instead of coming here talking like some rooster with ruffled feathers. If you do not want to go back and re-read, then simply request that I spell it out fo you in simple terms, if that is what you need for your understanding.

Good....we must not allow you guys to go astray.

We must keep watch.

We can't be here, and a goat will deliver in tether...

pazienza:


Omanbala river doesn't flow through Idemili and nearly doesn't flow through 2/3 of Anambra state.
Omanbala River is an Anambra East, Ayamelum, Anambra West, Parts of Oyi thing.

It's expansion to include every other area outside the aforementioned is purely artificial.

Omanbala might actually be Igala derived. They call it Olamanboro and they have a LGA named after that same River in Kogi state .

No Idemili man knows what Omanbala River looks like its not our traditional River, apart from those aforementioned 4 LGAs, other 15 LGAs in Anambra don't have any link whatsoever to Omanbala River. Where did you say you are from again?

Currently the population of non Ndi Anambra doing business in Anambra is closing the population gap between non Ndi Anambra and Anambra people....according to Osita Chidoka. The incoming governor of Anambra state.

olaitoro:


That is a lie buddy, the fact is currently population of non ndi Anambra doing business in Anambra has outnumbered / surpassed the population of Anambra people.

You can take that to the bank.

But I know that Osita cannot commit such political blunder with that careless statement.

B2mario:
Brother, don't mind him he is an imposter like every other one we've been seeing here. Nairaland and Nigerian government is fully out for Igbo disunity.

When did Ngwa start the move for a separate Igbo identity? Bros, please call any Ngwa man and confirm the stand. That person you quoted is an agent of darkness (division).

pazienza:


ChinenyeN might have his issues, but we know he is Igbo. He is only suffering from Anambraphobia, which is easily curable once he sees that he has nothing to fear about Anambra.

The character you quoted on the other hand, is not Igbo.
He has multiple handles here which he uses to reply himself. His agenda here is very obvious to all. Don't let him fool you.

AyakaDunukofia:


True, prior to the creation of the old Anambra state, there was/is the Omambala river people! Their tradition manifests in their type of music (Obiligbo genre), dialect and social attitude. They are found in the 4 local govts. as you rightly mentioned. And as well as Dunukofia and parts of Njikoka and Anaocha.

Parts of Enugu state are also an integral part of this Omambala river tradition; Igga, Ojjo, Asaba (not the one of Delta state) etc. Infact, what is known as Anambra state or any other one in Igboland for that matter was purely an attempt to create administrative blocks. It's got absolutely nothing to do with kinship.

Otherwise, why would Orlu and Uli/Amorka be in different states?
