mej67: Urban settlements are part of Yoruba culture. Same for Hausa. Igbos lived in villages and used leaves and hides to cover their unclothedness like in the Garden of Eden. Name a traditional Igbo cloth like the ofi of the Yoruba and the kente of the Ashanti. All your traditional clothes are recent creations because you didn't need clothes in those days. Villages can be cool but there are reasons they're not capitals of anywhere. 2 Likes |

Masterclass32: Whether you all respond or not won't change the fact that you'll leave your erosion ridden villages to look for better lives in the south West or even among your enemies the Hausa. |

OnTheMoveWA: So ogbomosho is the great city that Yoruba people come from ![]() 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. Wen an igbo man says he's going to the village, he's going to his ancestral home.

chuna1985: Thanks for the definition. And yes Ogbomoso is a great city just like the others in Oyo State and the SW. The fact that you're in your SE village and know it validates that fact. If you're rather in Ogbomoso and you own a 2 by 2 shop then it's worse because you left your jungle to go to Ogbomoso. If you school in Ogbomoso then that's the worst, you school with their state resources but they don't bother because they're hospitable and you can mock them easily. Well it's not surprising, it's a cultural thing for the flat.heads to be ungrateful. |

laudate: Ofi is the proper name of "aso-oke". Ankara is not African fabric, it's the patterns that are African-inspired. There's nothing like Delta Igbo my brother. The akpu eaters just want to use cunning to hoodwink those unsuspecting Delta people. Everything the yeeeboes wear as their apparel is foreign. |

OnTheMoveWA:we don't value your women, they bleach a lot and they don't stay in husband house. It s o.15% hard to see an igbo man married to a tribe that don't stay in husband house or that disrespects his husband . They like enjoyment(owambe) and don't value marriage. Pls this is our reasons, if not I could ve married two incase one leave me one day. But I want a wife and that s igbo , the one that will permanently be there for me, in rich and for poor , till death do us part. Amen. 1 Like |

Blackfire: Of course they won't be palatable on the Igbo tongue. It's general knowledge that the speech of Igbos is not completely developed. That's why the language is spoken with so much strength. You can't expect the brain to be big when the head is so flat. |

OnTheMoveWA:you don't get me , there re some towns I don't really know it s people's village. Towns like douglas, a commercial hub of the state is someone's village. Anyway, douglas is inside owerri as a street road/area if you don't know boi.. I am not in supports of your point tho, there is something your people(yoruba) don't understand about us, let me explained to you, like you said, about 90% of ndigbos will tell you that they re going to their villages, it s because on december or xmas period, villages is a place to be. If you really want to catch some fun. Most guys who re rich today, comes from the village cos most of their boss who re into business in commercial hub of nigeria, go to their villages to pick or look for a smarter igbo boys that will work with them and look after their investment in lagos,jos,kaduna,kano,rivers,akwa ibom etc, the igbo boys go city and become smarter than before. So when you ask chukwudi or chukwunonso, where re you going? he will tell you village. Most of them go to their villages to built their houses, sponsor their brothers and sisters to university level and to tell their parents how things have turn around for their own good. Anambra has like five major towns, imo has like 5 or 4 major towns, enugu has some major town apart frm enugu city, ebonyi has like 3 apart frm abakailiki city, abia has like 4 or 3 apart frm umuahia and aba towns. It s well with ndigbo I wish I can show you some towns pics from the east, but go to anambra/enugwu or imo thread on nairaland and see what they call city. My take. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: 3 Categories Of Igbos by IGBOPRINCE: 2:21pm On Oct 17, 2015 |
OnTheMoveWA:I will take that as an insults cos I know I hurt you for telling you our own reasons. Igbo girls are wondaful and your people have testified about our girls. Anyway, even a popular yoruba musician, got married to an igbo girl, I guess his name is pasuma or ayuba, one of them. They asked the yoruba musician, how come he s looking so fresh and healthy, he gave the grace to his igbo wife. Lol. Peter odili, formal governor of rivers state, married an igbo woman, godswill akpabio, forma govnor of akwa ibom state, married an igbo woman,and even the recent yoruba boy call churchhill married an igbo woman call Tonto dikeh.. ![]() bro I don't know what you think about us.

IGBOPRINCE: They've started their claiming. So Tonto is now Igbo? Even if she is, it points to the fact that your most beautiful ladies will always prefer Yoruba men. And you're listing Akpabio and Odili, are they Yoruba? |
Re: 3 Categories Of Igbos by Tycoflu(m): 2:30pm On Oct 17, 2015 |
I am understanding where the OP is coming from after seeing some of his replies. He sees a village as a rural area that is out of touch with civilization. But what he failed to understand is that most villages in the south east especially in Anambra, Imo and Abia are in the same league with some of the so called towns in South West in terms of infrastructure and modernisation. As for your impression of clothing made of leaves. Its funny I must say but how will you understand when most of you guys hardly leave south west to other places. Life and civilization does not stop and end in Lagos, Akure , Ibadan or oshogbo. |

I think am done with you since you don't ve sth good to replied your customers. Lol. I am 100% igbo and I can't denied it cos am proud of my traditions and my people.

Slave mentality. Must you also defend your masters, the Hausa/Fulani's to pass your point across? Or is it that they will sanction you if you didn't. My post is meant to educate but I see no education in you, not now, not in future. I will just pass. Meanwhile, for being the most travelled tribe in Nigeria since far back, you truly believe the Ibos were touring the world in their birth cloths. I won't glorify your ignorance by telling you about old-time igbo garmentry, if you are not able to google it. Ode nie! OnTheMoveWA: 1 Like |
