The bolded is not true. Apart from Anambra, i don't know any SE states that are not made up of 100% Igbo natives. At least i'm sure of Enugu.

Enugu has some Igala too, Abia has Ibibio, ebonyi has some none-Igbo as well

Yomieluv: High cost of bride price,imagine charging a suitor #2m to marry. No wonder in a wedding pix,the man is always frowning,while the woman smiles.

If your type leave the good for nothing gals in your state and tribe to marry imo girl and you come online to cry because of high bride price who is to be blamed you or the family you came to marry from

Where are these Igala people located? I only know of Anambra having indigenous Igala people and not Enugu. Does Abia have Ibibio people or people with mixed heritage? I mean, do they have 100% Ibibio people like in Akwa Ibom state. I hope you're not referring to people from Arochukwu, Ohafia etc.

igbsam: They are known for collecting the highest amount for bride price. Those people can push u to rob or even go for money ritual if u want to marry their daughter.

Bros stop playing a fool marry from your village if you are too poor to marry from imo.
If you marry imo girls who will marry the umarriable ladies in your tribe

The best state so-far, when you enter Owerri, you will not like to leave quickly; Imo State is the Eastern Heartland endowed with lots of resources both human and other wise.

Imo state is cool,its a nice place filled with fun seekers and civil servants.I live in owerri ,so I can feed u with vital info about owerri the capital city.

The indigenes are ngwori people, their girls are cheap ,they luv flexing too much(but not all). Imolite in terms of education are at the top in the eastern part of nig,

Their govnor is not trustworthy,what he does is the more u look the less u see .don't biliv the hype .

Their yung bois are g men

Imo state has notable people in politics,entertainment etc

It the place to be ,a tourist state

In addition to what I wrote previously, Imo is the drug capital of Nigeria. Little do people know that a section of Imo(The Orlu area) run most patent medicine stores in Nigeria. They equally produce the highest number of Pharmacists. Imo is indeed blessed.

ebamma 3: 70 percent of prostitutes in nigeria are from imo state
Imo ladies are no where near Rivers, Edo, Delta and Cross River States in this regard. So get your facts right.

Kamanda: Imo state is a good Se-xual Tourism destination
It is only natural for that also to be added but that is far the list of positive attribute associated with the Igbo extract.
