I am sure the "people" can see who is indeed behaving like an animal!!
I already THANKED you for pointing out my errors and i have corrected them, nothing wrong with that. (thats how you learn, dont you know?)
Dear IDIOT, if you’ve not totally learned, how dare you, little ass attempt to make mockery of one’s writing? Do you have an answer to that? Dunce, it is in my considered and strong opinion better to “foam” from the mouth than your anus. For one thing, the mouth foam could be ascribed to booze whereas your anal foam is a symptom of dangerous disease like Dysentery. Take it from me, the readers here are not fools, they know a fool when they see one and they saw one in you. Go back and review all their responses. Hahaha! Now, sit doggie, sit!!!
You poor poor man!

Little IDIOT, for that word “poor” to come out of your mouth, your family must have seen hell, compliments of nagging poverty. I bet you were born on or around mid to late eighties? Tell your dad what I told ya about lack of good parental upbringing, ok? Oh, BTW I need no help to vaporize irritants such as you as a One-Man-War-Machine.
The spanking continues tomorrow if you fail to learn a thing or three with this sorry encounter. Now back to your room, little one. Night, night.

I must conclude that this topic is incisive and diversionary. Mike ellis just dumped a thesis in cyber space which he refused to substantiate, and expects us to swallow it just like that. his only attempt to substantiate his thesis was an article he posted from Gamji which is hardly an authoritative source on Igbo affairs. He then attempts to smuggle his thesis in through the back door by using the following argument
quote: If someone from Imo wants to marry someone from Anambra there will be strong objections on both sides.
. Ofcourse it is absurd to generalise in this way. But even if we permit it for arguments sake, it constitutes no proof whatsoever of ellis thesis that anambra hates imo and vice versa. it is only natural and not restricted to the Igbo race that parents would like their children on marriage to be as close to them as possible in order to partake effectively in looking after them in old age, and also so that the family could have mediating influence on the marriage as those who are members of that institution know it is not a bed of roses. so actually Ellis points are an expresion of normal maternal and parternal instinct. More especially so in a society that has no organised healthcare, insurance or pension system. It has never been advicable to have your kids especially the girls marry and settle hundreds of kilometers away. Moreover, I dare say that this trait is not to be noticed in the Igbo alone, but is common to all Africa. Infact even in Mike ellis home country( he says his father is english) I put it to him that if he cares to generalise as he has done in the case of the Igbo then, it would be the same thing there. Mike, if you doubt me, go and tell your Core English father that you are about to marry an Irish girl. The first thing the good man is bound to ask you is "are you sure? those irish are known not to make good wives you know. And they tend to be drunkards" so its the same type of absurd generalisation and clichèè peddling. it is human nature, why attempt to make the Igbo responsible for it?
quote:i have heard Imo people say bad things about Onitsha and Awka people... and also Anambra people say terrible things about Owerri people
and so what? Yes I have heard Irish saying terrible things about english and english about irish. Yes I have heard east germans say terrible things about west germans and vice versa. Yes I have heard Ekiti people saying terrible things about ijebu people and vice versa. I have even heard mothers say terrible thing about fathers and vice versa. and sisters about brothers and vice versa. But non of this has led to the type of immature generalisation being offered by Ellis thesis, and it should not do so in the case of the Igbo.
In an attempt to defend Ellis thesis, Adaora posted following example
quote: Allow me give an example to properly clarify what i understand from Mike Eliis thread (i could be wrong and if so will stand corrected)....
I'm from Awka; in the recent past my uncle comes to complain to my dad & mom that his daughter's husband was mistreating her, his conclusion was that this would not have been the case if his daughter had married the Awka man "bia lu ya di" instead of her present husband. He even had the ordacity to claim that Awka husbands are the best and behave better than husbands from Ogidi (his son-in-law's place of origin) or any other place in Ibo land for that matter. (I'm stating officially as an Awka lady, that is so untrue). What shocked us the most is that this same man was a "thorn in his wife's flesh" untill he "said he's found Jesus"..
What am I trying to say? Between the different groups in a highly diversified country such as Biafra, these petty rivalries can be expected but not to taken seriously!
Well I must point out that your example cannot stand to explain or defend the thesis " Why do Anambra people hate Imo People and vice versa??", obviously because both Awka and Ogidi you mention in your example are in Anambra state and infact quite close to each other. However the last paragraph of your quote is right on the money. These phenomena presented in Mike ellis thesis could constitue proof of "petty rivalries" which are normal in any society, group and even family and are infact needed for healthy competitive development. They do not however constitute proof that Anambra people "hate" Imo People and vice versa.

Mazi, you are addressing a phantom ‘Mark Ellis' as no such person exists. The irritant that cowardly changed handle to Adaora is the one responsible for that post but had to pack and run only to resurface with a new name he mistakenly plotted would give him easy access. This wicked fool, Adaora you better believe is a yoroba, the kind that is bad news for Ndiigbo. Granted not every yoroba is against the Igbo welfare just as not every Igbo is a brother I insist that this neophyte should be watched. The “onye ndi iro gbara gburu gburu n’eche ndu ya nche ngbe nile” admonition of thirty plus years ago should come to mind.

Mebiafran,
Your idotic babblings never cease to amaze me!
Still at your "finger pointing and gang-up inciting" games I see?
Because you cowardly have ten handle names with which to hide yourself, you begin to think everyone plays your dirty games....
Even a fool can see from my threads and posts that I'm not afraid to speak my mind, have constitently stood by my opinions being a bigger person to first admit when I err....
You stand alone in your accusations Mebiafran, ofcos you are too STUPID to see that!You poor poor fool.

I will overlook your cry to say that you do not live in Houston. I challenge you to disprove this by telling us about Houston and now. Other participants who reside in Germany are not drooling to be recognized as U.S. based only you that I know have done that so far. Should your response to this challenge to tell us about Houston you claim to write from take days to come, you make it much easier for folks to see you again as... my Igbo sister(?)
Take my advice, guy, the more you write the easier for the vets to see how unserious you are. Take for instance; you never had the strength to respond to a scholarly post by Ochiwar. Scared? Anyway, based on your usual pattern, your true identity as oth... and many other previous names is becoming clearer.

The Igbo phrase above, used by Adaora, could have been used only by someone with an in depth knowledge of the Igbo language, and not by an Igbo imposter. The phrase is an authentic Igbo, made in the Anambra dialect of Igbo. It is in fact an advanced Igbo phrase used to refer to a suitor who has been involved in the process of wooing the woman for marriage, in the given context. In Abia or Imo areas of Igbo the same idea is usually expressed as "Onye biara ya di".
I am therefore strongly inclined to certify that Adaora is an authentic Igbo from Anambra area. As for whether Adaora is a female or a male, anybody's guess is as good as mine.

As far as I am concerned, appart from constant fireworks with MeB, Adaora has been making her genuine input on the site. Time will reveal all else as it has always done. But Chei I must tell you that you are drawing irrelevant conclusion from Adaoras statement. you know that there are many anambra men/women that grew up in Aba, and many Imo/abia grew up in onitsha, and their dialect will neccessarily reflect their upbringing. So you cannot just come to conclusion and certification based on the snipet of a phrase of Igbo. Personaly being from Anambra myself, I would identify that phrase as being Imo dialect because I would have expected an Anambra person to use the N form of the word LU as nuru or nu (to marry). At least in my place instead of "the Awka man "bia lu ya di"", it would have been like, " onye mba bia nu ya di" or "the Awka man bia nuru ya di.
Still like I said above that does nothing to prove anything about Adaoras identity or origin one way or another. Such a snipet of a phrase cannot serve to establish a persons identity.
Personaly my feeling is that Adaora is Igbo though. In anycase I give her the benefit of doubt because I know that in time all shall be revealed.
And so I also join others (if I have not done so b4) to welcome Adaora on the board. Its not all bed of roses with hard knocks being given and taken, but when you get used to the place you get addicted.

If there's one thing I have exposed here its that my written ibo is really bad, I never learnt to write ibo, I write the words as i pronouce them and many times will resort to the easier words i can spell..Also my parents spoke typical "Awka" dialect to us (which is what i speak), knowing how that sounds, theres no way I can write that (LOL)....Mebiafran could have really had my "head" for that and could have even made a "better case" against me, but being the ignoramus that he is, he didnt catch on!! He was more obsessed with me being Yoruba (the ignoramus spells is as yoroba)or Mike Ellis, or Nwa Aro or bababoyz or any other handle name his delusional mind comes up with....Its like he hates GIRLS, cos i dont seen him being nasty to or inciting "gang-ups" against new "perceived" male members!!..I mean can u believe that guy????? Good thing i dont scare easy!!
In anycase, Thanks very much for the welcome, guys, I suspect I'm getting addicted to this forum already (I mean I have this horrible toothache, but I still crawl back here, in pain), moreover, I love pushing Mebiafran's buttons, its sheer entertainment!!!!
Glad to be here,
Nwanyi Awka (spell?)
Adaoranna.
p.s. I personally suspect Mebiafran is an Onitsha/Aba market WOMAN, due to his "FOUL mouth" which in my opinion needs to be washed out with soap and water, but hey, you dont see me causing a stir.....

Point made and am satisfied.

I never cared about your mumbled written Igbo cause that’s not too interesting to me since we have awusa, yoroba or bini folks that do speak and write Igbo too as well as some Igbo who are very familiar with the other languages. Follow me? Adaora, I’m beginning to think that if you are indeed a SHE, you must be one of those that have a strong crush on HARD men as MeBiafran and if this is the case, who knows what the future holds (LOL) as a frequent visitor to Houston, a city I lived for sixteen years, I might hook you up and give you a "G" time. You know some girls have this thing with men who are hard if you know where I’m getting at, LOL. But if your intent is to “wash” this elderly MacDaddy's mouth, you’re in for a long haul, sis.
Hope the rest of your day turns a good one and the pain from your toothache minimized or outright disappears as I remind you that as a stranger to me, I do not see any gain in “fighting” each other especially when you have not made it clear where I offended you. Thanks.

You must be a dream (and a very bad one as that)
I already said u have may crush (go and check ur dictionary, you obviously have no clue what this word means) on me...There u go again stealing my words..where is ur creativity man??!!?!? Cant you come up with better insults anymore??!?!!?
I cant wash out ur mouth for u, it should have been done from home for u!!! Pity!!
quote: I do not see any gain in “fighting” each other especially when you have not made it clear where I offended you. Thanks.
You started this first, you need to state what ur "war" is with me!!!!!!!!
Can you believe it, I still giggle/lite laugh each time I read this? Stop it, will you?
As far as the archive here goes, you came at me rather violently first, if you disagree, you must show the world or leave me alone until we meet eye-to-eye in Houston. You said I should look up the word CRUSH in the dictionary and I did, see what I came up with: "To press b/w opposing bodies so as to break; To extract or obtain by pressing or squeezing...; To rumple or crumble...; To hug forcibly, so on." Where do you fall here, sis? I still maintain you have this hidden thang for me and as others have said although on unrelated issues, time will tell and do tell. For argument's sake, I'll hence assume you're a SHE and with that I'll concede to you. Fair?

I already explained that my written Ibo is really bad, and would find it extremely difficult to write in "Awka" dialect, hence would often resort to any dialect that i can spell...

I don't want to rain on Meb and Adaora's parade. However reading through Adaora's writing, there are lots of evidence in her writing to make one question whether she is truely Igbo. We Igbos no matter what dialect we speak have a unique way of communicating among ourselves, that shows that we are sons and daughters of the soil. Ihe ndi-igbo na akpo iji ire agu eze ogu. Ndi Igbo si ilulu bu nmanu eji eri okwu. I know my good friend Ednut will have a hard time reading what I just wrote in Igbo.

Pray tell Biafra,
What is this "special or unique" way Ibos have of communicating among themselves that I'm not aware of or exhibiting, and hence proving that I'm not really Ibo? Can you share please?
I eagerly await your response.
Thanks,
A.
p.s. I have no clue what u wrote in Igbo, can u translate pls?
