Cool.
My mum is from Umuobene.
Forgive my spelling, I didnt grow up in the east

GodMode:


You're very wrong...

Its the same with the Syrians migrating because of war...

Lots of Igbos migrated out of SE to the SW after the biafra war.

The igbos that could afford to migrate overseas migrated.

The biafra war experience by the older igbos is been passed down to younger igbos and some younger igbos are migrating to avoid such.

Good. In Amoji, I know families there

Good gesture. But Abia and Anambra are not contiguous. No physical boundaries btw them. To get to Abia from Anambra, u must pass thru Imo.

Instead of Those He Goats screaming secession to embark on this sort of project so as to endear them to their people as this will mean They stand united in One voice, they are busy blocking highways and setting tires ablaze like Nigeria doesn't have bigger issues to deal with..mtscheeeew Bloody Bunch of Agberos who want to Govern a Mirage state

patrick89:
Is that all? Punch is a useless tabloid! Why did they wrie only 1/4 of this man did in his home town!
For those of you who don't know, this man is building a 14 storey in his home town, pharmaceutical company, he sponsors over 400 law students and other field of study,
He built two standard secondary schools with teachers quater! He bulk two churches with the priest building, gave them cars.
He constructed dual carriageway in his home town..
This man is sending most of his kinsmen abroad for studies..
I urge any other media house to visit this town and see wonders!! This man is a God sent! I don't think the op captured it.

bigfrancis21:
Iwuchukwu being a boundary town between Anambra and Abiastate, it would be interesting to know the type of Igbo spoken in the area. Nwaisuochi, pazienza, and others, what is the Igbo spoken in Isuochi like? Does it flow with mainstream Anambra Igbo or does it tend towards Southern (Abia) like Igbo or a mix of both?

Yujin:

If what you mean by major roads are the Enugu/PH and the Onitsha/Owerri Express then you are right. But if other roads qualify then there are smoothly tarred roads through Orumba south. Umunze have direct boundary with Abia state through Eziama/Nsogwu(Umunze) road though untarred but well used road. Then the Owerre Ezukala and Ogbunka road.

Yujin:

What are you saying? If Ndigbo have been migrating out the way majority of Yorubas are thinking then all Igboland would have been empty by now. How long does it take Lagos to get very dry during the Christmas season? That will make you understand what I'm talking about.

sukkot:
please stop getting overtly emotional and sentimental and lying. this man is a very rare igbo man. no igbo man attains wealth and helps his brother. if all igbo men attained wealth and helped their brother the 5 igbo states will be like heaven now. igbos like to oppress each other. thats the truth. if everybody is rich then there is no one to oppress right ?

MrEverest:
Why are the Chinese, Lebanese & Indians always migrating to Africa? Does it mean we are more developed than them?? The Igbomen that are dominating the business & supply chain in remote places like Ogbomoso, Sarki, Dekina, kafanchan, Oturkpo, Lafiaji, Biu etc means those places are more developed than Igboland?? My brother people move away from places of high competition to areas they can easily dominate. That is simple law of nature!!!

My issues with him were discussed with him personally. I am not here to trade banters.

Besides I have no reason to envy him.

ghostmist:
I laugh whenever i hear people say "the Igbos hate themselves".
Ever wondered how we were able to bounce back so quickly after the civil war?? here is your answer.
WE take great pride in our communities, our people and our way of life; and, WE NEVER APOLOGISE FOR THAT!
what they call hate,is nothing but the internal competition they see us engage in,which of course is geared towards our improvement.

VickJames:
The only reason wealth spread in the east is basically because people help their brothers and kinsmen in the way of being my boy for some years and i will pay you after those years. they do not only give them money, they also go ahead to give them contacts and push them during their first trying years in business.

you dont expect an igbo man to dash you money without working atleast for it.

caprini1:
The truth is ,so many towns in the east,hardly wait for government in terms of development. There is this town in NNEWI south (osumenyi)....every single road is tarred with gutters on both sides.....And from my place,if you like build a stadium as a house,if the entrance to your house is not tarred sorry, you no get money.

Your problem not mine.

One Prof. Igwike and Dr.Ibe reached out to me when the fire was burning. Well my position remains that it is none of my business.

Dr.Maduka acknowledged that we are related. But that's besides the point.

Like I stated, it is your problem, not mine. How was the road contract awarded to Cosmas (Cosell Construction)? You don't know. This is my last exchange with you on Nkerehi's wahala. Take care.

You guys can burn yourselves for all I care.

pazienza:


Yea. I mean the three major roads in the SE ie Enugu-PH, Enugu- Onitsha and Onitsha- Owerri express roads.


You know, Madukaji is doing for Umuchukwu, what Ugochukwu Umunze did for Umunze in the late 70's and Early 80's.

Ugo was basically the one that pushed Umunze to where she is today.

He invested alot in upgrading the human resources of Umunze and the physical infrastructures.

listen, the evidence is everywhere to see. so save your little personal stories. everybody can come up with the personal story of a good man in their tribe who is helping people. but truth be told, your brothers are suffering all over the world. in lagos they stand in 100 degrees farenheit heat chasing cars and selling gala. where are the rich people in your land to come rescue these people ? they have to resort to taking drugs to malaysia and many have been killed in malaysia. where are the people to help these people to where they had to resort to drugs ? why would a man leave his town to go chase cars in lagos selling gala ? come on man. stop lying. nobody is helping anybody. only people getting helped is only beautiful women and thats because they ( your leaders ) want s-ex in return

sukkot:
the chinese lebanese and indians migrate because they think africans are st-upid so they want to take advaantage of us. so look for a better example. you people migrate because you are poor. its two different things

pazienza:


The entire Orumba south speak similar dialect of Igbo as Eziama and Isuochi towns of Umunneochi LGA of Abia state.

Example of Umuchukwu( Nkerehi) sentences :

Shi kaa fuo! ( get out of there)
Ndu gu gam ( I am scared)

Ha no kaa boga akala. ( They are there discussing)

I wu onye ohi. ( You are a thief)

Agam igbu gi iru. ( I am going to beat the hell out of you)

I wu onye? ( who are you)

O shi ghu gaje I bia( He said that he is going to come)

Bia kanu( come here).


As you can see, it is quite different from from the Onitsha- Idemili-Oyi- Dunukofia- Njikoka- Aniocha cluster of dialects we have come to see as a typical Anambra dialect.
