What is the meaning of Osu ibo? Why do you ibos hate yourself so much? Why do you discrimate against one another?

muscoliscious:
Truth be told,imo see abia as their brother n neighbour n see anambra with enugu as dsame though anambra love feeling superior even when it was created from enugu,but ebonyi is just like northerners,even their way of thinking sometimes i think they should be shared among the northerners

anumanu!

very funny post!

You do realize most of this movie stars are usually scattered around and not necessary from the state in question. Also many are expected to speak central igbo. If you want to hear an Ebonyi person speak, you should Google living in bondage, that really old igbo movie, one of the actors in the 2nd movie is from Ebonyi state. I swear you could barely barely understand his igbo. I honestly couldn't figure out how his coworkers could. Their igbo is rather difficult to understand. But it's not just them, Imo and Abia indigenous igbo is equally difficult to understand especially imo people.

Wislet:
In my opinion, THIS IS A MEANINGLESS TOPIC.

When South East is mentioned, ALL the states ARE recognized. Abia state has NEVER been in the background. It is very popular. Ebonyi on the other hand might be least mentioned because it is a very quiet state.

The fact that a few singers mentioned the places they recollect/have relations living in does NoT mean the others are not important. How on earth do a few singers become the people's mouthpiece? It's their song.

You have no concern here and u must not coment

I hate to point fingers but people from Imo and Enugu are not known to feel superior to other Igbo groups.

Izzi

Middlefinger1:

Enugu yes bt Imo and Anambra hell yes.

Many of us haven't been so the reason you stated cannot be applicable to all non-Ebonyi Igbos.

NZEGWUAGU:
It has nothing to do with the Igbos. It's like that every where even in America and the UK. In America there are states that are almost forgotten by others. In the UK the English see the Scots as inferior. The whites see black as animals. Israelites are despised. The Oyo man sees the Ijebu man as nonsense. The Igbo man sees aboki as a perpetual fool and aboki sees him as a thief and ritualist. The Igbo man sees the Yoruba man as a patholigical coward and traitor guess aboki believes that as well. The Yoruba man sees the Igbo man as dangerous and a liar. Even at family levels siblings disciminate one another depending on endowments perceived or real. Even in Ebonyi the Izza man sees the Ubulu man as subhuman. It goes on and on and it can never go away. I think humans use that as a source of distraction and a vent to live's frustrations and boredom! So please folks don't take it personally cos everyone is guilty of that one way or another!

you can't possibly say that ebonyi state dont stand out... in agriculture as a whole they do... just that they need to sit up . where do u think the local rice come from? na ebonyi na.

Er0ticAngela:
Ibo people be discriminating themselves since the days of Adam and Eve, yet they are agitating for social and poltical relevance in other peoples region

CrazyMan:

And your point is because you watched an Abakiliki movie and you understood the dialect. How pathetic. How many of the actors and actresses that featured in that movie are from Ebonyi state?

Also try and read my posts properly before objecting. My reason was because of their dialect which I've experienced personally.

You cannot compare Abakiliki (the state capital) to a local village in the state. And if you haven't been to any village in Ebonyi state, I see no reason replying you.

Er0ticAngela:
Lagos is the most develpoed state in the southwest nay Nigeria but that doesnt make the Yorubas hate themselves.

Kano is the most developed state in the North but that doesnt make the Hausas hate themselves

why then do the ibos hate and discriminate against each other just because of the dearth of infrastructural development in a certain?

Ebonyi isnt the only state in Nigeria with an underperforming Governor, so why the hate from their fellow ibo brothers

OneNaira6:


For a second there I was thinking you are Ebonyi. Lo behold, you are not. Why are you yorubas crying more than Ebonyi ppl? There are more than enough ebonyi on this forum, some have even spoken on this thread and not one cried about the thread but look behold, una are crying more that the community in question.

Why are you and your brothers taking panadol for another person's headache?
Did the OP call una?
Did Ebonyi make una their spokesperson?
Did they ask una to cry for them?

Every single conversation b/w igbo groups, u people always butt una fat heads into it throwing your opinions around like anyone asked or cared about them. Wtf is wrong with you people? I honestly think God was asleep when he created you people. He didn't make una normal

somegirl1:


Not at all.
You'll only ever find an Imo man arguing about superiority with an Anambra man. Never with anyone else. But we're still great buddies.

Daniel058:
Why on earth would this be seen among igbo race??


I have listen severally to igbo songs.. Which Whenever they to talk about igbo people, they will only mention ANAMBRA, IMO and ENUGU... Am



The worst part is the Gospel singers are also doing the same.... You will be listening to igbo gospel music , they will be praying to God ""Gozierem ndi onitsha, Gozierem ndi IMO, ENUGU na ANAMBRA state nine" "

WHY are they disregarding us ===EBONYI and ABIA


HAVENT WE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF IGBO RACE

Ekiti people hate ljebu, ijebu hate ondo, itsekiri killing orhobo, etc

But never have I heard that other igbos hate Abia and ebonyi, lie...

somegirl1:


I'm sure the OP's issue was disregard not hatred. Two very different things.

Middlefinger1:

I've seen lots of imolite telling ebonyians that they aren't ibos, that they are more of Northerner than ibo, making them feel inferior thus leading to most ebonyians denying being one.

u speaks elderly .. Best comment so far.

somegirl1:


I do not see the point in adulterating the Igbo dialect spoken in a movie that was supposed to promote Abakiliki language hence the titles "Nwa Abakiliki" and "Ada Abakiliki".
If you see the movie and tell me they didn't speak their dialect, then we'll discuss that.
The solereason these states seem to be disregarded is because they are relatively new. You can't mention Igbo towns without mentioning Aba.
Imo and Abia are seen as a single entity and Ebonyi as part of Abia.

Vicotex:
The OP ain't from EBONYI or an IGBO.

I'm from Afikpo south/Owutu Edda, and i don't see any hatred toward us.
