First chief Justice Sir Louis Mbanefo
2nd Republic Speaker of Federal House of Representative- Edwin Ume Ezeoke.
Ol' boys club member, welcome!!
A.
p.s. I agree we have had Igbo leaders, but not as much as the other tribes in Nigeria..moreover all these names ednut, ochiwar & now u (good ol' boys club members) have mentioned come from a an era of "somewhat" decency, they are mainly old school, you cant compare them to Babangiga and all those theifing politicians?

There she goes again playing her old "you chauvinistic pigs ganging up on me helpless girl" card. Dont you think you are overplaying that card a little? No other cards in your repertoire? If there are, please deal a new hand.

I wasn't parpetrating Ol boys network, I just merely stating, Many of those Igbo leaders who made names at national level. Many of them lived a modest life until their =death. People like Dr Akanu Ibiam didn't have a swiss or USA bank account, Doctor M.I. Okpara didn't have mansion all over Nigeria, He lived in his Home village Umuegwu Umuahia until his death. Nwafor Orizu did have mansion in Foreign land even though he was a heart bit away from seat of power.
Doctor M.I. Okpara started the Farm settlements in all old eastern Nigeria and Institute of crop research Umudike Umuahia, he did start it for himself for personal enrichment like Ota Farm own by you know who. These men were loved by their people because they put their people first. That Idiot Mike Ellis is talking about other Igbos hating people from Anambra, Dr Okpara was not from Anambra however he was loved all over Igbo land. Dr Akanu Ibiam is not from Anambra, But he was loved all over Igbo Land. Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe is from Anambra, but he was loved by every breathing red blood Igbo. DIM Ojukwu is from Anambra yet he was adored all over Igbo land. What Igbos hate is efulefus like Jim Nwobodo and Nzeribe of this world no matter which part of Igbo land they came from, if they are efulefu we don't like them.

Adaora, are you delibratly missing the point here? go back and ask yourself "what are we arguing about?" Remember what led to all this? We have proved wrong the so called mike ellis incisive and hopeless statement that Igbo in general and Anambra in particular are a bunch of primitive and despicable thieves. Now the point raised by Ednut is that if it where so then more igbo and Anambra should be on that list and infact should dominate the list. Converse is the case . Then you said that they have not had enough opportunity. But enough names were mentioned of those who had enough opportunity. Then you have now said , "that was in another era". But that is beside the point. what does era have to do with it? ellis theory is not restricted to any era. If mike ellis theory where to be true, then Igbo and Anambra should be on that list, no matter the era. Nuff said. Adaora, which side of the hopeless mike ellis theory are you on?

Well, you have attempted to explicate the dispicable behaviour of Igbos (Anambra People) by blaming it as a sympton of losing the war. This can be given some milage down the road of credibility, however, it is akin to black americans blaming all of their woes and screwed up behaviours on slavery/civil rights etc. Point blank Anambra people are socially and morally bankrupt when it comes to making and acquring money, take it or leave it. I have heard terrible stories ofr people sacrificing their mothers and fathers so that they can use their body parts for money making rituals. Albeit this is not exclusive to Igbos, however, when you take this and look at the prevalent attitudes towards money in AlaIgbo you can only but have disdain for the Igbos as a group of people. Now when you look deeper it is mainly those from Anambra state, even from a historical standpoint, that are hell bent on making money at all costs and will do ANYTHING to get it. Look at Onitsha, it is a den of iniquity and criminality that robs its inhabitants of peace and security, however, Imo state has been virtually free of ignoble dastardly acts (except for the dispicable Otokoto saga, yet when Owerri people discovered that this was going on they burnt Otokotos empire to the ground) In Imo state a character like Chris Uba will NEVER be able to get away with what he has been doing in Anambra state because Imo people would kill him ASAP. But because anambra people love and respect money their state continues to be in the predictament that it is in today.

Mike Ellis,
[Adaora, taking off her rose tainted glasses, to take a “good” look at this Mike Ellis fellow…..]
I have some questions for you:
Are you Igbo? If so what part are you from? How were you able to tell that you were dealing with somebody from Anambra and not somebody from Imo? Could you tell the difference in dialect and phonetics? Did you carry out some statistical survey of some sort? Or were your conclusions all based on “hear say”?...
Digressing abit;
What exactly do u know about the African Americans and their history, and how it’s affected their present day societal status in America? Better still, what is wrong with them blaming the “whities” for their most of their fundamental problems? Don’t you think they have every right to do so?
Again I ask,
Are you Igbo, Mike Ellis? Are you even “legal” or just a brat with access to a keyboard? (No offence intended)…
[Some logical conclusion, Adaora has drawn so far (albeit rightly or wrongly)]:
With the way you are ripping at Anambra, I take it you are not from Anambra, and also have some major grouse against the people of Anambra state. Your supportive arguments are very weak and carry no weight at all… Except you can provide some logical explanation & prove as to how you arrived at your lame conclusions about Anambra people, I’m going to have to cease dignifying your posts with a response…..
Mike mate, I have humored you long enough, and wont be doing that any longer….its apparent you have some major issues against Anambra people, perhaps from your personal dealings, hence all your venom and vexation…. I say; “fair enough”, people have bad experiences; that’s life you live and learn… Hang in there mate, things will work out…. So pray tell, was it an Anambra woman who caused you all this “pain”? (using “Uba/Ngige saga”, “Otokoto” & “Spare part dealers in Alagbon(?)”, as support for your argument doesn’t even begin to “cut it” mate and appears more “diversionary”, actually your line of arguments appear more sexually charged/driven, hence my asking which woman left this bad taste in your mouth for Anambra people)………
[Adaora seeing perhaps the mischief in Mike Ellis posts that other forumites saw initially]
A. p.s. you are aware that Ochiwar & Biafra et al, strongly believe we are one and the same, aren’t you? which causes some concern for me after reading thru your posts, as I like to see myself as a “smart girl”……..lol!! lay8er chuck….

Being the kind and gracious sister that I am, I will tell you everything that is so wrong with your personal ad (or an attempt at it there of)...nwanna, ewo ni wo, o efe anyi ne melu owen anyi....
quote:I am originally from Naija but prsently reside here, in the States.
I didn’t know Toronto- Canada was one and the same with the United states, you have to check that and make it clear exactly where you reside…. you see the kind of girl you are looking for will notice that error, and even if she doesnt you should be very worried.....
quote: The Lucky Lady will not regret knowing me, she will be treated like a Princess.
Lucky lady??? What makes her so lucky, that she finally met you (please note the dripping sarcasm) That’s a bit presumption don’t you think? So in effect you are saying that you are God's gift to women, abi?
quote:I am honest and God fearing,
Na so you go talk……….
quote: I am honest and God fearing, 6ft tall and weigh 180lbs.
Seriously mate you need to eat more, that’s skinny for a man, moreso an Igbo man…
quote:Financially comfortable.
Why does the lady have to be financially comfortable? Aren’t Igbo men known to take very good care of their women/wives, hence making them the first choice in husbands for ladies of other Nigerian ethnic tribes (which gives a lot of eligible Igbo ladies a bad headache, I dare say, thanks to all the competition for our men [hissssssssssssssss: directed at all those women that just have to have our Igbo men])
Finally please take no offense at this one;
quote: My name is Igwekala Umubueze.
This is a very difficult name to pronounce..come on!!!! Sexyfy it up alittle. Its called “marketing the product”…..
A.
p.s. seriously, good luck in your search…

My wife is from Anambra, and she is the most honest and honorable woman I have ever known. I once questioned her loyalty and fidelity to me, and she immediately refused to receive ANY support from me ever after while she was in Nigeria.
BTW, I've been away because my computer has been bombarded by multiple viruses, such that I had to scrap it, and purchase another, no doubt they were sent to me by Nwa Aro's support team. I long ago was able to post but I've been preparing something particularly nasty for those who dare gain access to my IP/TCP ports. Let this be a warning to those who think they have a monopoly on computing knowledge, but I guess when you're financed by stolen oil money, one can afford to lose many computers. It will be my pleasure to help in that effort.

Congratulations on your investigative writing which uncovered Igwekala’s gaffe by raising doubt who is actually behind that handle. It was the same road map that I too followed when I communicated to the forumites the possibility of your handle and Ellis Mike being operated by the same person. The difference being that you came at me with a sledge hammer (LOL) for stating the many similarities between your handle and Ellis yet Igwekala did not pay you back with your own coin, a major victory for him. How can I not raise an eyebrow when you and Ellis Mike registered in the same month of the year, have the same averter and to top it, posted for the very first time on the same thread? I say looks like too much of a coincident. My point is this, to get overly out of shape because someone accused one of being X is not necessary.
Remember this?

Mike Eliis and I (Adaora) registering the same month, with smilar avatar will probably haunt me for the rest of my beautiful life her on BNW..but believe me there was no way of telling this possible outcome...
But I have remained consistent no matter how much other forumites try to pick at my posts. I have remained very consistent..
Moreover, Mebiafran, you came at me with torrents of abusive words...(something I dont see with any other male new member)
Igwekala's gaffe is more obvious..he says he lives in the states but his profile says toronto-canada, again it might just be an oversight on his part....(ofcos being a man he will definitely get away with it, something I'm sure I'd get my head chopped off for if I did....yes, I know, the ol' boys club strikes again)
