Why do Igbos usually say "I dey go village"? I've never heard an Igbo say " hometown". A friend said it's because 90% of Igbos come from rural "autonomous" communities. On another day I struggled to explain to an Igbo friend that I'm not from a village, neither are my parents nor my grandparents. They all came from towns/cities that are centuries old. Now to the topic, 1. Those born in the "villa". 2. Those born in "no man's land" 3. Those born in the zoo. There was almost going to be a 4th category - those born in the Lagoon but that was prevented. 18 Likes 1 Share |

Given the rate of igbo thread proliferation on nairaland, a stranger would believe igbos are the ultimate ruling class in Nigeria. Or maybe they are. 33 Likes 3 Shares |

Let me educate you on the term "VILLAGE" in the Nigerian way. If you are from Ikeja and you are living in Ibadan, then Ikeja is your village regardless of how developed it is. My village in Imo State is developed than most Nigerian cities but since I don't live there, whenever I want to visit there, I do always tell people that I'm going to my village. 14 Likes 1 Share |

OnTheMoveWA:How many yoruba nobel laureate do you have,? Just one. And he is not even in the class of achebe. Nigerian top politicians are buhari,abacha, IBB, OBJ,e.t.c., bunch of highly corrupt backward entities. Sorry, if i don't mourn over the absense of igbos in this group. There are a number of igbos in Nigeria richest which is not important anyway. Unlike you, i definitely don't find any benefit in corrupt wealth accumulated by Otedola, adenuga, TY danjuma and co meant for their families and generations unborn. 24 Likes 1 Share |

Re: 3 Categories Of Igbos by Tycoflu(m): 8:51am On Oct 17, 2015 |
In reply to your question, we all must agree that most Igbos (Nigerian) have two homes: their place of residence/ mostly in the big cities and their home town/ the village (usually the birth place of their parents). Majority of the Igbo that grew up in the west and other part of the country usually travel to their respective villages for events and return back to the cities when its over. So when you hear an Igbo man in Lagos talking about village, he is not talking of the big cities in the East. I used to have issues with my friends in festac when ever I visit Lagos back then because they assure I came from village. I almost remind them that I was born and breed in Enugu ; a state Capital that has everything just like Lagos. 7 Likes |

My cousins name is FunmiLayo Nnenna obinwanne , we also have another one titilayo jessica nkemakolam Obinwanne,half yoruba half ibo,my family for one doesn't discrimate like you fellows everyone is welcome there. It's because people like you exist that nigeria has ethnic crisis. Instead of peace, you are preaching jumping into the lagoon, everyone is important,but not extremely important. Change your mindset. What have you gained hating the ibos. I attack yorubas like you, because you are blind to the truth. Am happy am ibo. So what am saying is, if you are pissed, your problem, ibos are the best, best tribe on earth. You don't like it, no problem , flog your head for wall. 5 Likes |

Village: A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighbourhoods. -Wikipedia Igbos are frank. There is no point in calling a village a town or any other glorifying names. Meanwhile, from conservation perspective, the Igbos treasure their hinterlands (a little more than most other tribes), and truly enjoy and derive pride in the serenity and natural vegetative surrounding. For many, they dread the destruction of this traditional and natural dwelling by urbanisation which is falsely percieved as development. It is all part of Igboness to always be in touch with ones birthplace in Igboland. Ultimately, that will also be the final resting place. So, it is a very important part of Igbo life and culture. Here is another reason to treasure your village (and not be bullied by those who don't have it, don't know it and won't understand it). Take the Uk as an example. There are many lovely villages like the Blackheath Village, Theydon Bois Village, Walthamstow Village, even Greenwich, where time began housing the popular Greenwich museum is a village. In other climes, very cool villages like Brudge (Belgium) and Toulouse (France) are real cool places. Village is actually a real cool concept, better than town that has all to do with urban vices, congestion, pollution and high cost of living usually associated with urban lifestyle. 5 Likes |
