I came across an interesting write-up by Prof Dr. Kunirum Osia on the issue of "Anioma/Asaba People are not Igbo" arguments, so I thought to share it here.
I'm wary of the agendas of the so-called Ohanaeze Ndigbo group in the affairs of Anioma, hence my research.
A thread 👇👇
So a young man and father of 2 was killed and set ablaze on Sunday in Lekki, by Northern bike men, over disagreement of 100 naira, but na Sokoto dey trend?
Someone wrote a thread on the issue of bike men and their spread in Lagos, but y’all feigned ignorance.

Go to Aniocha North, none of the governors we’ve had in Delta state have deemed it fit to carry out a single project in the LGA, other than NYSC camp.
Some communities haven’t had electricity for 20+ years.
Some communities gathered funds to provide electricity for themselves.
All the roads in Nnewi are dead, especially the ones surrounding the commercial areas, the markets.
Governor Soludo
@ccsoludo
, Nnewi need serious attention. This is a city that's very vital economically to the state.

There is a huge chance that palm wine would react this way, especially when it is covered tightly without any form of air, and placed on the ground.

Lagos State board will collect their money and allow it. In the nearest future, the same Lagos State board will come after them with one lane excuse to evacuate them.
Numbers in Olukumi:

In the Olukumi language, where J is prominent, it is replaced with Z. Where G is prominent, it is replaced with J.

A bottle of red wine was given to my uncle last year December by some women, as a “thank you” for something he did.
He kept the wine among several other wines in his room.
At about 2am in thee morning, just that bottle of wine shattered to pieces.

I asked a man in my village why we build houses in a compact manner when we have lands big enough to space the houses.
He said “houses spaced apart can discourage people from visiting each other”
His argument made sense as I grow.
We are really losing our sense of community.
My cousin whose father took me into his own home and raised me comes to Accra and stays in an Airbnb. I feel guilty and torn but I understand that he is an adult who needs his own privacy. I always make sure I meet him whenever he is around.
Our African lives have changed.

The name "Nigeria" was smuggled into this tweet just to make headline and give us a bad name. We know the agenda though.
I saw that Yakubet guy in CNN and BBC news in Nov 2019, wanted by the FBI. He hasn't been caught and others as well.
Their countries should be listed as well

When my dad was growing up at Agbor, a man told him to open his hands, and said things only him knows. He also said beautiful things about his future.
Everything the guy said played out as it is.
Don’t doubt what the guard told you.
However, don’t think about it either.

So why don’t they only work in Muslim banks like Jaiz bank?
Should all banks start pandering to religion? What if the law is extended to include traditional religion?
Was it the government that mandated Sundays as church days?
A lot of questions to be asked

Lol, you haven’t seen the various propaganda online about who owns Warri?
You haven’t heard that “Olu of Warri” is rather “Olu of Itsekiri”?
When they are ready to repair Warri and make it a powerhouse again, they will keep their tribal differences
The official language of the Western region as noted when the country was structured along regional lines, from 1906, was Yoruba.
A part of Lagos was in the Western region.
That you hear them communicate in English all dis while, is a privilege, not a right.
@abdullahayofel
Lagos is the business hub of Nigeria with a population of multicultural people; home and abroad.
If an article must be written in a native language, it must also be written in English.
You all should stop this close minded, selfish bullshit you’re doing.
Nigeria is in
@asemota
I have always known a girl named Ada. We were very close.
She speaks English well.
I never knew she couldn’t write or spell in English. Not even to spell a “girl”.
Never knew such things exist until that day.
I had to redefine what we think is literacy at that point.
The North is building their economy around Niger Republic with resources from Niger Delta.
The South West is building their Economy around Lagos. Lagos is better positioned to serve the entire SW and resources from the other states.
What exactly is Niger Delta's plan?
@bigmich__
Me and my guy still talk about am like 2 days ago.

I am not Igbo bro.
I am not Delta Igbo.
I am not Anioma Igbo.
I am Anioma.
I am Deltan.

If you teach a potential yahoo boy how to code or build stuffs beyond what he/she already knows, you are actually broadening his yahoo skills.
You can’t redeem them.
This bastard and unity beggar called grandmaster, has been opening several Twitter spaces to claim that people of Delta North are Igbo.
Wizarab that has been identifying as Igbo, gave his opinion about Igbo men and women, suddenly Wizarab no be Igbo man to dem again 🤣😂
This dude called Sir Dickson has low key been slandering Igbo people on this app for years now but many of us are not yet ready for that discussion
I even sometimes see the so called spokespersons for the Igbo people on this app doing paddy-paddy with him without ever calling
Not even good roads or incentives to farmers.
We have been sustaining through community efforts and individual brilliance of the people.
Someone like me won’t heap blame on just the current government, because we have never been attended to by previous govts as well.
Shey you see that nonsense that APC group of Yoruba’s did in the last election, where people of SS were also attacked because they want to vote.
The people of SS only allow it slide because no be really our matter.
Una go still make am turn to our matter with this nonsense so.
Odigbo, Igbodigo, Igbotako, igbokoda, all the aforementioned places are in Ondo State.
You may consider adding Ondo state to Igboland.
Heck, Sunday Igboho’s full name is Igbohochukwu 🌚
This is Obuama in Kalabari. Check the name again— Obuama.
There are so many things to know and learn about the Kalabari and the Igbo.
I carried out an extensive research to that effect.
On lowkey, I temporarily lived & toured every nooks and crannies of the Kalabari nation.

Let him pay and keep him there for like 1 hour. That way, he won’t be able to collect the parking fee back 🥹
All the way from Israel, you want to steal other people’s culture in Benin, Ife, Anioma, etc.
The one thing you and your ilks have failed to come to terms with, is the fact that there is no previous identity called “Igbo”, other than it was used to refer to…

Oga, there are several of this cases by Northern bike men, and it is time to call them out to avoid taking laws into our hands.
A southerner would not do such.

I lost the exact same phone in Asaba.
The person who found it removed the SIM card and place in his small phone, and started calling my contacts.
Until he called my bro in Lagos, and my bro called my uncle, who eventually called my other line to come pick up my phone.

“Educate the girl child”
“Educate the girl child”
Girl child don grow up and dey educated now, she don dey try follow her elders drag kolanut breaking 🤣
Better go and buy your own kolanut and break, before headache 🤕 finish you 😂
People’s ancestors were building this level of sophistry. Their cultural ideology was to explore and create.
Ours is to what? Break kolanut, and 4 centuries later, their children are still insisting that that’s the culture they like.
We are backward by our own design.

To be honest, our cultures were not as rigid as people think.
From time to time, they were reviewed and adjusted accordingly.
I have witnessed a meeting by some elders reviewing an old practice.
