Lol

After years and now again Osagyefo right.....Lol.


There is no difference between me and Kwame Nkrumah because we have few things in common and that is

1. Sense of urgency
2. Letting Igbos free themselves from the diabolical machinations of people they termed surrounding minority ethnic groups.

bros, there is no difference between you and a bastard.
Pls get out of this thread

As someone who have always supported IPOB, I have finally come to this conclusion.

IPOB is anti-igbo interest. I have to eat the humble pie and admit that I was very wrong about the consequences of IPOB.

I have finally come to the point in my adulthood where nothing matters to me more than igbo interest and most importantly the Development of Igboland.

I started out years ago a pro-multi ethnic Biafra because I misjudged that igbos and the surrounding minorities share common interests.

But my journey with my IPOB support has made me go through various phases to reassess what matters the most to me.

But I will always thank IPOB for unknowingly leadIng me to realize that we IGBOS have no allies in Nigeria and that we IGBO have to focus on ourselves and our interest.

This is a well reasoned and well thought out analysis.

Igbo should look to go with whoever can deliver the most tangibles to empower the Igbo people.

A Northern alliance may just yield the best results.

Thanks for this analysis.

You are lucky you meet a quite liberal human being but not liberal also because I am also part of the school off thought that Liberalism is a sign of mental disorder.



You are getting angry now because Igbos are beginning to realise you guys antics and schemes. It is not yet late as more will wake up to realise how long they have been chasing shadows.

The game is up for you guys because Igbos are now seeing clearly

No! We're not going into northern alliance. When we put our house in order, all will come begging. We'll just look after our interest while the opposing forces come to our doorsteps. The vilified ones in time would be the beautiful bride. And that is when we'll unveil our demands.

IGBOS HAVE ALREADY AMOUNT TO A GREAT PEOPLE AND WOULD BE THE GREATEST.

IPOB contributions to Igbo consciousness, affairs and interests are well known and cannot be wished away by denial. However, IPOB sometimes make some misguided and unintelligent statements and actions.

IPOB should concentrate most of their efforts towards the Igbo interest and empowerment while efforts should continue to be made at regional integration with eastern minorities. Igbo interest is very important and should get most of the efforts by IPOB bearing in mind that their resources, funding and support base comes from Ndi Igbo

You're absolutely correct. We look out for our own interest, strictly speaking. However, we need long term objectives and short term objectives.

In the short term we need someone who represents "Igbo Empowerment" as President or Vice President in 2023.

In the long term we need to ensure "Igbo Empowerment" becomes every Igbo man's mantra. Igbo Empowerment consists of

1. Economic Empowerment for the SE
2. Political Empowerment for the SE
3. Socioeconomic Empowerment for the SE
4. Cultural Maintanence of Igbo Heritage

So, we have long term and short term agendas.

Well said.. I strongly agree.

Nice one! It's inexhaustible. More can be added to that agenda. And please edit the SE to Igboland. It's not limited to the SE alone but to all Igbo's, respective of where they find themselves. Membership should be limited to only patriotic Igbo's.

Igbuzo And Cultural Heritage

BY VIVIAN BAKPA

IGBUZO, also known as Ibusa, is a town in Delta State, Nigeria, with an estimated population of 566,310 people in 2009. The people speak the Enuani dialect of the Igbo language family. The name of the community is more commonly and officially known and written as Ibusa. The community forming the process of Ibusa can be linked to the first wave of the movement of Igbo migrants into the West Bank of River Niger. This adventure which took place in the 15th century resulted in the settlement of Ibusa people led by Edini from Nshi (Nri). The second of the two waves of the migrations that resulted in the formation of Igbuzo was led by Umejei from Isu.
Geographically, “Ibusa is a dusty, hilly little town”, bounded to the North-East by Asaba which hosts the capital of the State, and Ogwashi-Uku to the West, North-West by Azagba, to the North by Okpanam, East by Okwe, South-East by Oko, and South by Aballa and South-West by Olodu. However, Igbuzo is obviously lacking in terms of land mass, thus congested with houses. Historians believe that the Ibusa were the first to settle around the Asaba-Igbuzo-Ogwashi-Uku axis hence the other name of the town, Ibuzor (Were you the first to settle?) Ibusa is located with close proximity to busy towns such as Asaba, Ogwashi-Uku, Ubulu-Uku, Ilah, Ebu, Oko, Issele-Asagba and Okpanam. Thus, it is considered one of the fastest growing and developing Anioma (Delta North) towns and villages.
The name “Ibusa” is an Anglicization of Igbuzor Ibuzo “Igbo bi nauzor” or “Igbo Uzor” meaning the Igbos that live by the wayside or “Were you the first to settle here?” (Ibuzo). Interestingly, all the names that communities bear today were foisted on them by other people. “Igbuzo” was a name used to describe the settlement by the Igbos of the South-East, “Ibuzo” by Ogwashi-Uku, Asaba, Ilah and Okpanam, who are the community’s immediate neighbours, and “Ibusa” by the early European missionaries who found it difficult to effectively pronounce the name of the community.
“Ibusa” is an Anglicisation of “Igbuzo” or Ibuzo by the early British missionaries and visitors to the town as a result of difficulty in pronunciation. The Anglicization of the name of the town may have been effected in the 19th century following the Ekwumekwu Wars that the community led. “Ibusa” was considered more distinctive by the British, thus was adopted as the official name of the town and made to appear in all the official documents of the colonial government. The name “Igbuzo” – Igbo bi nauzor, meaning “the Igbo living along the way or road” – is, however, the native name of the town as used only by the natives today.
The nickname of the town is however “Isu Na MbaOgu” (Warriors from Isu), or colloquially Igbuzo-Isu (The Igbo-uzo(r) from Isu). Igbuzo is uniquely addressed with different names and even made noticeable with different spellings such as Ibusa, Igbuzo, Igbouzo, Igbuzor, Ibuzor, Ibuza and Ibuzo. This is believed to have been necessitated by the strategic location of the town along the busy roads and the history of the settlement of the people.
Oral history
Ibusa is a federation of two units known as “the Umejei and Ogboli settlements.[b] According to the oral history of the town, UmejeiNwaEzeIsu (Prince Umejei of Isu) killed his opponent in a traditional wrestling bout, an act considered “Alu” (Abomination) in the land and punishable by death. However, his death was commuted by his father who was also EzeIsu) the king of Isu and he was encouraged to go on exile with a gourd prepared and given to him by his father. Umejei was emphatically instructed to settle wherever the pot dropped, he thus set-off with friends, relations and sympathizers who accompanied him. The gourd however dropped at the present site of Ani-Oshe in Omeze (Umueze) where he founded Igbuzo.
The Ogboli factor has it that at Nshi (Nri) Odaigbo slept with one of his father’s wives but EzeNshi commuted the mandatory death sentence to exile. His father, mother and younger brother, Edini voluntarily opted to accompany him. Odaigbo and Edini were given one pot each and charms by EzeNshi with the instruction to settle wherever the pot fell and on crossing the River Niger, Edini’s pot fell at Ani-Nshi(Nri)Ogboli in Ibusa. Odaigbo’s pot was to fall at the present site of Ogwashi-Uku where he also settled. The groups (Umejei and Edini later became one and known as Ibusa) The Ogboli of Igbuzo are thus regarded as part of the larger Nri (Nshi) community. The two communities of Edini and Umejei aspects later became known as Ibusa.[/b]
The Igbo and Anioma people of Delta state regard and praise Ibusa as group of people who often refuse food in other to prosecute wars (Isu (Igbuzo) fuogujunni). This statement authenticates the bravery of these people in wars. Ibusa historians are currently conducting researches on the history of wars fought by the Igbuzo people especially in the homes of their Isukiths and kin in Nnewi, present Anambra State to determine whether any relationship exists between the two communities.

NaijirianKing:


The amazing thing is that many of us are now starting to become alive and alert to the true political system here in Naijiria, and we are doing a great deal off-line to effect certain changes.

The 2020s will see a new "Igbo Man" emerge as many of the younger more enlightened generation will be taking the lead.

The end of this decade will see a true repositioning of the Igbo collective.

The question remains, how do we push this agenda to interesting ears of notable Igbo intelligentsia and statesmen. Is there a need to form a close WhatsApp group at the incubation stage? Do we need to register this group in the corporate affairs commission to give it a legal backing, thus a recognizable name with membership drawn from the geopolitical zones that makes up Igboland SE/SS/NC? And how do we ensure that this noble idea is not hijacked by sold out political jobbers.

Osagyefo98, I'd encourage you to do some Google searching and research Ngwa people's sentiments over the past decades.

horsepower102, it is fine if you love Ngwa people. We don't hate you either.

@topic, let is not forget why I even posted here to begin with. I am Pro-Forum. I've stated so explicitly before and will state it again. I am in favor of an honest and open dialogue that will seek to build something substantive going forward. But yet again, just as it's been the past 10 years, some of you want to break your backs over your notions of divisiveness, rather than anything else.

Oga where are you from and what informed what you are displaying here?

B2MARIO, the condition of your Abia state is an embarrassment to the igbos. Abia state is the worst state by far in Nigeria. Ndi Abia pay attention to your state. Is this a curse?

Okezie has been wasting money buying different groups to defend him, whereas Abia state is a disgusting shithole state.

Now south south group are now the ones exposing the mess in Abia state. Even Nnamdi kanu couldn't talk about his shithole Abia state. Who cursed Abia people?

The Origin Of Okpanam in Delta State

What is known as Okpanam clan was a settlement by some migrants several centuries ago. There was no written record of its dates of settlement and development. There are however many versions in oral tradition of the origin of what is today known and called Okpanam. A version was that a man by name Okpala came and settled there. Some trace the origin to Anatogu, who was said to be the father of Okpala. A usually more detailed story stated that a group of Uchi from Igbo heart land were the founders of Okpanam clan. A different version stated how some migrants arrived from Benin (Idu), led by one Gbunwala, found a settlement, and called it Okpalani, yet a third version stated how an Igala man from Idah called Ayida arrived with some followers. One of them they said was called Ohene. They were said to have reached the area and found Okpalani, after they were forced to move away from Ukwu-Nzu, where they had first settled. All these versions tend to suggest that the original population in Okpanam may consist of people from different ethnic groups.

EARLY IGBO SETTLERS

[b]The Uchi brothers origin version states that Uchi brothers were from Nshi (Nri), a community in Igbo heart land. [/b]It was said that there had been a dispute over a stretch of land. The dispute was between some members of the ruling house of Nshi and Uchi family. The terms of reconciliation by the Palace resulted in a loss of some parcels of land by the family of Uchi. All entreaties by the head of Uchi family failed to assuage them, especially the younger members of the family. It was then decided that those who were still aggrieved should leave the area for an alternative settlement. This was the cause of the journey which according to this version, led to the founding of the settlement known today as Okpanam.
This version has it that one Anatogu Uchi, his wife Ogbe, led the group in the family who would not accept the loss of their land without adequate compensation. As decided by the palace, their only option was to migrate and that, they accepted. Uchi brothers left Nshi and moved westwards into the River Niger valley. When some of them were able to cross the Niger, they sought for where they could farm without so much disturbance even from the floods of the River Niger. As they got around the present Okpanam location, there were stretches of high land beyond the floods of the River Niger. They settled on those high lands, and it was said they were to farm and hunt without any constraint.
At the location, Anatogu Uchi and his wife Ogbe begot some children namely Okpala, Anam, Nzam, Anaku and Ofesi. It was said that the other Uchi brothers moved southwards and found settlements known as Uchi, Abala-Inyi, Umunechi (Umune-Uchi), Afo and Obikwele. These are now all in Ndokwa local government area of Delta State. Three of the children of Anatogu and Ogbe, migrated once again crossed the Niger where they respectively found settlements known as Anam Ogbe, Anaku Ogbe and Nzam Ogbe in Anambra State. Okpala stayed on with the parents in the location, he got married to Omah a woman from Nshi. Okpala and his wife Omah begot four children namely Ogba, Isama, Achala and Olisa. The descendants of the children of Okpala constitute the core of the four villages in Okpanam.
The descendants of Anatogu and Ogbe in Okpanam in Delta State, and those in Anambra State namely Anam, Nzam and Anaku still maintain close relationship. The statue of their mother Ogbe, is housed at Afor Square in Okpanam. She is a rallying figure and revered by all the descendants of her children wherever they are up to date.
Some time much later, another group also Igbos were said to have left Akwukwu-Igbo for Okpanam. These people were said to have migrated from Oba to Akwukwu-Igbo led by a man known as Onai. After a short time, dispute arose between Onai group and some members of the Akwukwu-Igbo Community. As a result, Onai and some of the men with him were forced out of Akwukwu-Igbo. They sought refuge at Okpanam, which was granted them. They were allowed to settle on a parcel of land that lay between Ogbeosadi and Ogbeobi along Okpanam and Ugbolu road, still known as Enugwu-Onai. Some of the children and followers of Onai who were left behind in Akwukwu-Igbo are still known as Umu-Onai.
After some time there were frequent disputes between the people of Ogbeobi and the Onai group. It got to a level that the Onai group had to be re-located. At that time a relationship had developed between a daughter of Onai and one of the descendants of Alo one of the two children of Olisa. This made it easy to find and allocate in another area, a parcel of land behind the settlement of Alo’s descendants to the Onai group in that location Umu-Onai became known as “Ogbe-Owele” in Okpanam.
