Inferior and lesser mortals everywhere.

NaijirianKing:


This is true... in fact, there is no Africa because we didn't have such a name in any language of any group on the continent.

So you're right, there is nothing like Igbo, Nigerians, or even Africans. It's all fake, it's a western creation, we are merely just existing waiting for Europeans to leave Europe and name us.

Even Anambra is fake as there was nothing like it before the Naijirian State created it, so never tell anyone you're from Anambra because according to your logic, "there's nothing like Anambra, just people who resided in an area that was captured through the State Creation Commission of Naijiria." Please do the needful and change your name.

This is how you're reasoning. I hope you've learned something today. You've been dismissed from class.

Definitely Anambra is also artificial, afterall they've been people like Enugu and parts of Ebonyi who once upon a time , say in the 70s were also called ndi Anambra...right now I don't tell anyone I'm from Anambra, I tell them I'm from Nnewi and an Nnewi supremacist for that matter

The guys here are very funny..you have been told there is nothing like Igbo or Eri heritage..Igbo is just a group of people who live within same geographic area and decided to form a common identy...not that they came from the same place, .and again there is nothing like Igbo

[/s]


Chef2000, the worst is that you are from the cursed Abia state, so igbos have rejected your state because it is the worst state in Nigeria.

Totally true

IDENNAA:


Perhaps , you should stop living in denial and accept the status quo. I have read Igbo culture long enough to make simple identification based on Nri influence. It could be that your definition of influence is different from what we know. We know for sure that Ngwa bears the name Nwanze which means son of a noble. So, let’s stop the theatrics and face the truth. The four market days were Omanbala invention and if not for that you wouldn’t know the name of the days of the week. Indeed, Eri didn’t just inspire you but helped in moulding your culture.

IDENNAA:



I never said Eri masterminded the creation of Igbo culture but Nze na Ozo, Ikenga etc. is particularly an Nri creation. However,what we know about Omanbala/Nri culture was a fusion of the culture of the aboriginals and the Eri and his descendants that settled primarily in the Omanbala country. However, Nri leadership and spiritual direction was critical in all of these, hence , the vast prominence of the Nri in most aspect of Igbo culture. There is a very good reason why the Eze Nri was crowned and venerated across the Omanbala area.

Fact

Again, Idennaa, I encourage you to do some studying.

IDENNAA:

You just mentioned cultural practices that do not apply to large swathes of the Igbo ethnolinguistic region. Are you actually familiar/knowledgeable about the various peoples and cultures that make up this region?

IDENNAA:
However,what we know about Omanbala/Nri culture was a fusion of the culture of the aboriginals and the Eri and his descendants that settled primarily in the Omanbala country.

At least a modicum of truth here from you. That is good.

IDENNAA:

And here we reach the crux of it. There is an entire four-thirds if not more of "Igboland" that has no recognized affiliation with the Omambala area and as such does not even recognize the seat of office that Nri sits on. There is an entire four-thirds if not more of "Igboland" that did not offer and still do not offer tributes to the seat of office that Nri sits on. There is an entire four-thirds if not more of "Igboland" that does not acknowledge or celebrate the lunar cycle that the office of Nri is in control of, but maintain entirely different calendars and lunar practices from that of the Nri seat of office.

Long story short, there is little to no ground for continuing to peddle Nri/Eri as a central figure in the narrative of the entire Igbo ethnolinguistic region. I truly encourage you to study more about Igbo people in general. There is a wealth of things to learn, and I encourage you to learn them.

@emboldened which stupid omanbala invention, wetin be omanbala again... market days wey different communities in Igboland have been using even before anyone could even hear omanbala..lol...this grandiosity needs to be cured..you lack knowledge and don't know history..i don't blame u all, if not for my nnewi, omanbala would have been a poor ravaged IDP state..ndi úchü

Well, out of your abundant wisdom and knowledge why don’t you feed us on the origin of the four market days. Onuku Igala, you think you are dealing with mere mortal. Bring your facts and tell me how the four market days developed into day....smh.

This is the reason why Anambra must lead Igbo nation else you cultureless bunch will drag us through the mud. You have nothing to be proud of , hence you are bent on ruining mine.

There is nothing like Igbo..If you don't know..why do you think 'Igbos' are always divided and can't achieve anything on the national stage..u saw when Obi was nominated as VP in last election and Ekweremmadu and Umahi revolted, that's to tell u there is nothing like Igbo and hence the division will continue..rule your family first , no one cares about something not existing...times are gone when people will want to claim being Igbo..

Seriously? Another Puritan? And we are supposed to want to be associated with people like you who will deride us? I'm done. You obviously do not respect the autonomy and cultures within the Igbo ethnolinguistic region.

WHERE ELSE CAN WE FIND AN IGBO SON WITH THIS LEVEL OF INFLUENCE?


NDIIGBO, AM HERE TO MAKE IGBO GREAT AGAIN.



WISE MEN COME FROM THE EAST, THEIR IS NO GAIN NOT SHARING THIS WISDOM SO OUR FOLK ON THE GROUND CAN GET THE WORK ON THE WAY BEFORE I JOIN DEM.



THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO DEVELOP A NATION.


U WANT TO ACCESS THE IGBO AMERICAN MARKET, ONE MAN CARRIES ALOT OF INFLUENCE.

ChinenyeN, we can agree that not all Igbo groups had a direct Nri influence but traditions were passed down through association and interaction. There is no way Nri could have invented all the Igbo traditions because there were other groups and very influential ones , who live in the region and contributed immensely. For instance, Ofala/Ovala was an Onicha invention.

Don’t get me wrong , I understand that you are unfamiliar with some of our traditions , yet , Ngwa men like Abaribe literally dresses like an Ozo man and even share Nze handshake with Anambra men like Chidoka. I respect your cultural identity but as it stands you have nothing to fight with. Eventually, your sub culture will be swallowed.

ChinenyeN:

You are dealing with non Igbos with multiple monikers replying themselves, and you can't even see through the games they are playing.
Nawa for you o!

WE SHOULD MAKE SURE WE FIND A WAY TO INCLUDE THESE GUYS.


THERE MOST BE A PLACE FOR THEM.

I was not addressing you , nwokem. Sometimes you behave like a girl...every little thing hurts you.

The same way we wear Isiagu, even though it is agreed that Isiagu is not an original pan-Igbo attire? Idennnaa, you are talking about the merging of cultures. Today, I see Anambra people doing anyantolukwnu dance that is not originally part of your culture but was part of the southern Igbo (Uratta, Ikwerre, Ngwa, etc) style of dancing. This is how cultural convergence occurs. We now do three tap forearm handshake. This is how cultural convergence occurs and a new identity is born and propagated. This is nothing new.

However, it is one thing to talk about this modern convergence and another to state Nri's central influence in the face of overwhelming contradiction throughout the entire Igbo ethnolinguistic region.

Just face Abia state and stop disturbing Anambra state.

There is no Igbo , alright then face front and move with your sister ChinenyeN back to Abia and allow children of God to have peace.


There is no Igbo and you won't allow us ndigbo in anambra state to have peace.

Ikegwu.

Lol. Then you should feel free to play their game, since you've mastered it. I'll simply continue with providing my responses and engage until I get tired. The discussion is more important that the individuals discussing.

I don’t think I wish to inspire you but I don’t hate women. At least , I have three girlfriends
But don’t you forget Igbo practices paternalistic culture, male dominated.

Anambra people don’t dance with their butt shaking, it’s immoral and disgusting. We do high morale dance steps. No Anambra person can dance that your step in the presence of his kinsmen. It’s considered immoral!

I see so many of your daughters emulating. Perhaps go and check on your people, sort your house and leave the rest of us be. Thanks.

IF TD JAKES WAS YORUBA, THEY WOULD HAVE LONG INVITED HIM TO LAGOS.


FORGET THAT WE ARE STILL BUILDING, WE STILL HAVE STATE HOUSE THAT ARE USED TO HOST PRESIDENT.


TD JAKES IS AN ASSET THAT COMES ONCE IN 500 YEARS, NDIIGBO MIGHT NOT GET ANOTHER ONE IN AMERICA ANYTIME SOON, SO LET BRING HIM ON BOARD.


ONCE THAT ENUGU AIRPORT IS COMPLETED HE SHOULD BE THE FIRST IN AND THE VISITING SHOULD BE ACROSS THE 5 CORE IGBO STATES EACH. (7 DAYS TRIP)


EZE ERI MUST BE PRESENT.


LET OKOWA AND RIVERS INVITE HIM IF THEY ARE INTERESTED.


AFTERALL, WE INVITED HIM.

Thanks goodness there is nothing like regional government anymore...and now everyone is fragmented into state..let everyone answer em papa name

It’s hard for Pazie to stomach the fact that his little Igbo agenda has been flushed down the drains.

Pazienza, the ancestral spirit of Omanbala are not with you...you have no force. I , Odenigbo Aroli has the blessings of my ancestors and I will destroy everything you try to build. Igbo propagandist!
