Myself2:Those Enugu girls are something else. Don't know if it's the high number of tertiary institutions that has percolated down,even to those not in institutions. Anambra girls are extremely beautiful;what I think Enugu girls did is add a little cream to that natural beauty of Anambra girls. It's like 2 ladies,one is very beautiful naturally(Anambra);the other is very pretty(Enugu);but the pretty one now started also applying make-up to her natural prettiness.Imagine how the latter would now look. |

[quote author=Perkins2018 post=84984370] Ipob has destroyed every goodwill you guys might enjoy in Yoruba land. Yorubas used to love strangers even more than indigenes. How do you think there are millions of igbos in our land if we were not welcoming? My grandma gave no less than 5 Igbo people land free of charge. But you guys are ingrates born to hate. . 9 Likes |

Brugo: This kind of petty thinking can only come out from the brain of a five -year-old kid or a chronically retardedd brain! Does your so called massaging of ego put money in any Igbo man's account? Or does it increase their life span!! No Igboman gives a hoot about your opinion! So shove that your opinion right into your smelly asshole!! 5 Likes 1 Share |

Good observation.. Kudos to you bro, for your courage to describe your experiences exactly the way you saw it. |
Re: My Service Year In Anambra - Corper Peter Omoniyi Gidado by KayyDee: 10:59am On Dec 17, 2019 |
jahsharon: My brother, nice observations there. However, I needed to point out that, most of Igboland, particularly Anambra was one of the very Last to start selling a pure water sachet @ #10 in this country. I'm quite certain that as at 2014 when i last observed, that water sachet was still sold at #5 in Onitcha Anambra state. Niger Delta states were possibly the first to start that, as cost of living is generally higher in most of those South-South states. IMO state also has the highest cost of living in Igboland. This is perhaps due to their proximity to Major/very expensive Niger Delta Cities like PH. So, i believe IMO was the first to switch to #10 per sachet of water. But, even at that, as of 2009 when i was living in IMO state capital, Owerri, water was still #5 per sachet. So, your assertion on the Water Sachet Price is hugely misinforming. Maybe there was a water shortage in your area at the time. That's the only explanation that could make sense here. As for market women charging u excess; well, generally they will give you a price, and hope that you price it down. That's how most traders operate. So, when you unfortunately don't know how to price, then, even if some of them may feel guilt,, they may not urge you to price it down some more. That's business for you. However, for most market women, if they clearly know you are a corper, they will gladly give you the best prices. Some even will give you wonderful discounts and freebies... Of course, depending on how nice the market is treating them on that day. One thing i clearly noticed in Anambra in particular is this; they so much love and support Corpers...except you as a corper is troublesome to them. Mostly in the villages, Some people, after you've rented a room in their house as a Corper, they will still be dashing u food stuffs from there farms, if they feel you are good or peaceful. Most corpers whom I personally know, who serverd in Anambra, always gush about the place and the people. Even in some communities where boys misbehave, most a times if they want to harass you, and then found out that u are a Corper, you may hear something like, "leave am biko, na Coper O" or "leave am, na my brother teacher for school" The last thing the vast majority of Anambra people will intentionally want to do, is to sour the experience of a peaceful visitor. NEVER. Finally, nowhere is perfect, and so Igbo people have there own issues, and some are very troublesome, and that i agree. Thank you. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Sirjamo:It is Hausa people that is just everywhere in my town. Go to where they hire labourers in my town and you could almost count more than 500 Abokis there. Honestly it scared me considering they don't diffuse into the population, but rather band together all the time, making them a letal force it need be. |

Myhusband and Brugo balanced OP's write-up to some extent. I wonder why OP decided to say all the good without giving people caution as if he is working for the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. I can't remember the username of an Anambra Lady here on Nairaland who was advising her fellow Anambra brothers to stop propagating Yahoo Yahoo on this site some months ago. She narrated how several young guys from her state are into fraud and other crimes due to greed and get-rich-quick syndrome. She really felt bad about the whole thing. She also described how she hustled legitimately using night bus to bring in items cheaply from the north to sell on campus so as to avoid prostituting as a means of income. She rounded up by narrating how she now trade in Jewelries from Dubai as a married woman. That made me salute her. But what I love the most is the fact that that she didn't sugarcoat anything like the OP. With that balanced statement from that Anambra Lady, I can have an idea of who I might be having as in-laws if I choose to marry an Anambra or Igbo Lady, and behaviours to even expect from the lady. With a balanced information like that, I can know if I should only limit my interactions to friendship and business and never marriage. Balanced information is important when making important life decisions. OP was not fair in his reporting at all, which suggests a motive for monetization or to get favours. It's like telling someone to go to Ogun State (Ijebu to be precise) and also not warning him of juju. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

jojothaiv: Actually, Ekitis had contact with Fulanis and Muslims from Ilorin before the coming of Christianity into their environ; many of them got converted and bear northern and Muslim names up till this day. There are lots of Sanusi, Sanni, etc. to some extent Gidado and such in Ekiti; although they are mainly christians now. It can also mean 'Igi da Odo' - wood across stream'; a proverbial meaning of someone who elevates, safes or makes breakthrough for others/family. 1 Like |
