Ekealterego: Well, I have already said this yesterday. I think the majority of Igbo today share the same sentiment. |

ChinenyeN:LOL. It is a very long story. So, in summary, we were talking about Igbo awareness and consciousness and the works and debates over the years. Pazienza feels what you guys have done was greater than the MNKs ea of Igbo consciousness, while I feel that although you guys did great within this small forum, however, the constant bickering, washing of dirty talks in public and intra-Igbo debates exposed so many negatives to the public. 4 Likes |

Ekealterego: Ah. I see what you mean. I agree. There was an intense amount of back and forth that seemed almost never ending. However, if I reflect on it now, in hindsight, even though it often detracted from the main discussion, I would say that it was ultimately necessary. All that bandwidth ended up being well-spent. I don’t know if you were around on NL ten over the past ten plus years, but at the beginning of that time period, I would say that Ndi Igbo were simply not honest with themselves as a community. There was not enough self-reflection, introspection and scrutiny concerning what it means to be an Igbo people or an Igbo person. As a case in point, for a certain number of years, it was the consensus that all Igbo-speaking people were by default from the Anambra or Nri. I fought tooth and nail to correct this commonly-held, but wrong notion to the point where it brewed controversy. Was it uncomfortable? Yes. Was it tiresome? Yes. But thanks to the likes of Pazienza, OnlyTruth, et al who decided to confront me in that controversy, the Igbo population here on NL grew by leaps and bounds in their understanding of Igbo culture, Igbo history and what it means in modern day to be an Igbo person. Without that controversy, the road would not have been paved for Igbo people to better scrutinize themselves. Now, the very same people who fought with me over the then “unorthodox” viewpoint I was sharing are among those who are well-equipped to truly discuss and decompose the current situation and standing that we all deal with as Igbo-speaking peoples. If I have to be honest, I feel that IPOB, as an organization, is at the same point that Ndi Igbo on NL were ten years ago. It’s too much in a one-track mental state; too focused on propaganda. Not reflecting enough on how it’s actions further disenfranchise an already disenfranchised people. Ultimately, there is much to be learned about how Ndi Igbo as a community grew here on NL and how the lessons learned here can be applied to any sort of Igbo endeavor, including by IPOB. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Captain8:Keep quayet. Ijo nyanga in Opobo began recently when they formed the IYC/IINC to cajole Opobians into their nonsense politics. Funny enough there are no Ijo flag in Opobo. Na online and Port-Harcourt meeting the Ijo noise end. As soon as everyone go back home, they pick up their Igbo identity. Who no go like partake in the sharing of Ministry of Niger-Delta / Amnesty money? No human born of a woman can go to Opobo land and shout Opobo is Ijaw. Na community go gather panel beat am and then throw wey am inside Peterside creek. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Captain8: I'm not speaking English as mother tongue like Opobo and Bonny speak Igbo as mother Tongue. No one borrows a language and throws his own away. Moreover all written precolonial document show that Opobo and Bonny spoke Igbo from the very beginning. You really have no claim to Opobo and Bonny. The day Nigeria breaks, Igbo nation will take Opobo and Bonny by force or legally ( all colonial documents are in our favor). 9 Likes 2 Shares |
