A group, Oodua Action Movement, has called for an autonomous state of Yorubaland, urging the United Nations (UN), United States (U.S.), African Union (AU), European Union (EU), the Group of Seven (G-7) and other international institutions to come to the rescue.

The group, in a statement signed by its Co-ordinator, Demola Edward, noted that the Yoruba nation, as an ethnic of over 40 million people, should be able to manage its resources.

Edward urged President Muhammadu Buhari to begin the process for an autonomous Yoruba nation as a federating unit in Nigeria, as granted the South-West region upon independence in 1960.

He said: “As citizens in Diaspora, having watched the trend of events in Nigeria from the sidelines over the years and especially the current spate of insecurity of lives and property and the continued degeneration of the country, we have unequivocally concluded that the country with its present structure is in a state of irredeemable rot.

“Nigeria is now in the infamous league of failed nations.
From the foregoing, it is obvious that the present unitary structure of Nigeria has significantly inhibited the country’s growth and prospects.

“We demand an autonomous state for Yorubaland. The Yoruba people claim and demand our rights to self-determination; our rights to autonomously govern our region and manage our resources and own our destiny.

“The Oodua Action Movement, on behalf of Yoruba worldwide, is relentlessly committed to this cause. We are prepared to use all legal and peaceful means within the confines of international laws and norms to actualise an autonomous nation for Yoruba people within Nigeria.”

I kula jii? Alright. I can now answer your question with great detail, so do pay attention. Anyone who researches even the slightest thing about Ngwa learns relatively quickly that we have a term for any and all things "non-Ngwa" (ohnuhnu). I do not know the story of how Ohuhu clan (of Umuahia) got it's name, so I cannot say if it is related to our own use of ohnuhnu.

Anyhow, "ohnuhnu" in Ngwa parlance has two usages. The original one refers to the name we ascribed to Ehilihita, Oke, Okwuato, Ahiara, Nguru (in short, the greater part of Mbaisne), and Alulu, Uvuru Ntu, Mbutu Okahia, Umuohiagu, Obiangwu, etc. (Ngo Okpuala) communities. There are many more communities in this cluster that can be named, but you get my point. These are the communities that we consider as part of original/ancestral kinship. This is the original Ngwa/Mbaisne cluster. Any one of the communities in this Ngwa/Mbaisne cluster that is found on the west side of the Imo is referred to as "Ohnuhnu". Any one of the communities in this Ngwa/Mbaisne cluster that is found on the east side of the Imo is referred to as "Ngwa". That is the original usage.

Overtime, new people started to make their way into this area in different waves. Considering the time period for these waves, many of them were probably refuges, fleeing the effects of the transatlantic slave trade in their area. Since the west side of the Imo (Ohnuhnu) referred to these waves of new people as "Isoma", it is likely the case that they were mostly Isu and maybe other smaller groups who may not have been Isu, but resided in the Isu cultural zone. The east side of the Imo (Ngwa) referred to these waves of new people as "ohnuhnu", because they made their way into the area from Ohnuhnu's side of the river. That is the second usage of "ohnuhnu" in Ngwa parlance.

As time went on, the colonial period came and more people from northern Igbo ethnolinguistic groups to people outside of the Igbo ethnolinguistic region started showing up to work and live in Aba, Osisioma, Isiala Ngwa, etc. The term "ohnuhnu" grew to then incorporate all these new people and now "ohnuhnu" means any and everything that is not Ngwa (and also not part of the original Ngwa/Mbaisne cluster).

As a side note: Asa, Ndoki, Etche and Ikwerre communities are not included in the "ohnuhnu" (non-Ngwa) definition. Asa and Ndoki communities can also be seen as joining in using the term "ohnuhnu" to refer to the new non-indigenes (Igbo and non-Igbo) in the area.

There. That is the story. I hope that clears it up for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
ChinenyeN, I am not satisfied with this your long essay. Ndi Ohunhun in Ngwa dialect simply mean strangers, people you are just seeing who are not originally from your land.

Ohia is not an anambra word and hardly you will see even a two year old child use it.

That's how You people wants to invade us with foreign languages that are alien to us.

What is Ohia...come down to omambala and check if you will here any such sound as. Ohia....not possible.

Blackboard is. Different from reality and you want to diminish our tongue by introducing foreign tongues in our midst.

Chineke ekwena......Ohia is not used here pls.

Be guided.
Oga say what you know. We know that there was a move made by Anambra elites to anambralised all names bear by Anambra people like using L and F, for R and H. But that does not change the indigenous dialect spoken by the people more especially people from the southern part of the state. People from the southern part of the state are of Isu and Orsu origin. If you want to claim a place you should try and study it properly and stop saying what you don't know.

You don't know Anambra you are claiming to have come from. And mind you the "Ife" and "Ofia" as against "ihe" and "Ohia" you claimed that are predominantly used by Anambra people are not used by all and are also used in Abia state in places like umuahia, ikwuano, arochukwu, bende and ohaofia, even in some parts of ebonyi.

There is no homogeneity in dialects spoken by Anambra people as Anambra is like ebonyi state with high number of Igbo clans unlike Imo and Abia where you will see up to seven or nine local government areas speaking almost the same thing. In ekwusigo, ihiala, nnewi, aguatta, and orumba there are many dialects spoken in each of the council areas.

Stop the exposure of your emptiness here, you are not Igbo talk more of coming from Anambra. Study Igbo and trend of Igbo migrations with igboland. There is every tendency that the real onitsha people may have migrated from arochukwu.

I'm sure you can agree with me that the level of overt sexuality directed at Igbo women by outside groups is on the steady increase.

And, if care is not taken, such energy can give our women a very bad name.

This energy is usually directed by one group in particular.
Misplaced priority. My son leave this agenda you’re pushing. Women usually do not have much options as men when it comes to marriage, theirs is limited. If you really want to help our daughters, then you should be pushing for the restoration of polygamy in Igboland.

Are you to baby sit grown ups? Are you the parents of the ladies? Will you marry them or even take them as second wives?
Nwam leave mata for mathias.

Polygamy should be encouraged and not this ethnocentrism. Make the marriage of two or more wives legal in Alaigbo and you’ll solve a lot of issues you raised there

Abagworo:
Ihiala, June 15, 2019 (MOI) New Traditional Ruler of Ihiala, Oluoha, Igwe Thomas Ikenna Amuta Obidiegwu has vowed to ensure more peaceful reign during his tenure.

``I will ensure peace and oneness,’’ Igwe Obidiegwu vowed in an interview with Politics Correspondent of Ministry of Information based at Ihiala.

The new Oluoha made the vow in his Palace at Umunnebogwu Okohia, Ihiala, after a keenly contested Igweship with Chief Azuka Alagwu.

The tussle for the stool nearly tore Ihiala apart.

``I have come to harmonise and re-unite Ihiala, as a one happy family,’’ the Igwe said, stressing, ``my reign will be the new face of Ihiala, where everybody will be under one umbrella’’.

It has been gathered that Oluoha throne rotates among the seven sons of Dioha Royal Family. These sons represent some specific villages that trace their linage to Dioha.

The journey to the throne starts from Elekechem, adjudged as the eldest son of Dioha to others -- Nnebogwu, Mmenike, Adobihi, Irogbuewu, Abanike and Ezeogu.

It rotates within these royal sons (villages) of Dioha.

It was also gathered that that there were three documents that also spells out guidelines to Oluohaship.

Igwe Obidiegwu noted that the first of such documents emanated from the Smith Enquiries, while the second was entire Ihiala Constitution as well as Code of conduct for Oluoha of Ihiala.

He said the third document spells out the rotation, known as the summary of the agreements of the seven sons of Dioha and their representatives.

It is that agreement that spells out, how each of the families, whose turn to produce Oluoha and how they would produce a candidate.

``It is this document that produced the late Oluoha, Dr Cosmas Okechukwu from Elekechem.’’

Igwe Obidiegwu noted that before his emergence, he went through all the procedures as prescribed in all documents relating to the installation of Oluoha, just as was followed to produce the last monarch.

``It is the Okpara of Nnebogwu that produced me, before handing over to the other six Okparas, of Dioha Royal Family.’’

When aspirants were whittled down to three from six, each of the remaining three aspirants was asked to bring a person each to make up an18-man Committee that made the final selection.

``The result eventually produced me,’’ Igwe Obidiegwu said.
