This is just like my village in northern uganda...NO good roads, no support from governments😢😢😢. But I love my village and people and I love Igbo people, my people ooo. Igbo kwenu. Greetings
Looks like you know a lot about the igbos. You sound so knowledgeable. I love that.
@mosesi.elioku73 Nnem or Nna eeh...when it comes to Igbo, I am more Igbo than the original Igbo. Igbo is in my Luo blood. Igbo kwenu!
You can thank the great, late Chinua Achebe and Nollywood for helping me reunite with my people finally oooo 🔥
@mercyIn, I cherish you. It is well with you and your people. My people love you and your people. Pls be praying for buafra to come this year so that you come to my home. I will welcome you myself. We live and let live. We love people, so I love you.
Mercy, What's your Igbo name ?

I'm even responding to Chineze and so many other names ooo. Igbo names are too sweet 🥰
Nigeria just disintegrated the igbos, but is for the igbos to gather their own together ,is time to bring them all together.
How can they gather their own when some Igbos are already claiming they are not Igbo. Some have even changed words to mean something else. For instance, Wike the traitor said he is no longer an Igbo man.
@@dzemuusthat one na coward
Is left for them to agree they are Igbo and should belong.See the big suffering and efforts been made to help them.
This is the primary function of Ohanaze Ndigbo and 😢affiliates to unite all ndigbo all over Nigeria
Cross river is SS not Ibo
@@immyammy7185But Isobo is in Cross Rivers, there are other Igbo communities in Cross Rivers too
I know the unification of Igbos is paining you aboki🤣
Really 😂 😂. What about north north @@immyammy7185
You they watch videos you still dey argue.
@@immyammy7185
The Isobo people's igbo Dialect is more clear to understand by central igbos than some communities in S.E ❤😊😊
Ebonyi
@@justinkingsley9169 Their Igbo is crisp, clear and succinct. You do not need any translation whatever. I went to school with an Igbo guy but when I found out he was from Cross River I was simply shocked to the core. These people clearly do not belong there.
@@justinkingsley9169Your Obsessive calling out of Ebonyi makes you to forget that the isobo closest kin are actually Ebonyi people. Lastly, there is no such as Ebonyi IGBO. Ebonyi is made up many IGBO clan. As one who has leaved in Ebonyi afikpo to be precise. Afikpo dialect is way more intelligeble and understandable than most Enugu, abis and imo dialects.
This dialect 95% closer to izzi in Ebonyi cos they're kin balkanize by Nigerian State
You people are doing a wonderful job bringing this awareness
OMG they really needs our help especially on clean water issues. My question is do this our brothers and sisters visits Igboland Cities like Aba, umuahia , Owerri , they need to starts visiting to engage in businesses like other Igbos do as we are known as entrepreneurs. These are our people we should do anything we can to connect with them probably show them way of surviving on their own since they are not getting necessary help from the State they find themselves in, this is crazy. Nnamehn you’re doing great job . I love this video., God will continue to guide you in this mission of discoveries ❤️👍🙏
do you think is discrimination, they are so many other villages in that state worst than that my beloved
This is how Nigerians are so docile. A Senator gets constituents allowance, you should be asking what does he or she do with that money.
@@JONAHOGAR-gl5ubhmmm
Good question
They even love their home more than yours////
This is my village, the government only remember us during election and after election they forget people like isobo exist and forget everything they promise us, no road, no good water, no good health care not even electricity our people suffer a lot to survive
So sad
They don’t have Local Government chairman,counselor,State.HA Member representing them?
Nnamdibernard please we need all our people. We will not leave anyone behind and if there's any group that like our GOD and want to be with us they are welcome. During the exodus if Israel it was so. We love all that love us and love our GOD. Let them boldly come out and let us know them and where they are presently located because our GOD is doing a new thing. Don't be left out.
@@nnamdibernard7745there are still other communities that speak Igbo in cross river not only isobo
The descendants of Jacob are awake, and the restoration is starting
Thank you and Nna-Mehn TV for highlighting the sorry plight of these Igbo communities mischievously carved into non-Igbo states to ensure they suffer discrimination and neglect. The same thing happened in the southernmost part of Benue State.
It is good that you have launched a water provision fund to help them get boreholes and other basic amenities. God bless you as you look after people who are so unfortunate to be abandoned to the elements by the Nigerian state.
Their language is similar to my izzi dialect I understand everything
These are just Izzi people fragmented into Cross River. Nigeria is evil.
I am an Igbo. The lady selling meat told that guy the area is in the Achara local government area. Now I am from Orlu in Imo State, and we have a community name Achara in Njaba local government area in Imo State.
Achara also in anambra.
This is so heartbreaking while the discrimination against their fellow citizens same Nigeria. Pls ohaneze and some individuals that have good heart come together and support this community.
This is really sad. And Nigeria is blessed with natural resources yet their people are still suffering. I pray citizens rise up to support them.
Peter Obi should see this video, for him to know that what is good for the Gesse is also good for the Gander, he should extend his philantropic gestures of providing borehole water to the northern Nigeria communities to his brothers in this locality of Cross Rivers State too ( They speak Igbo language) and only for being Igbos they can be marginalized. Wake up Igbos. The Cross Rivers State government should borrow a leaf from Governor Alex Otti of Abia State regarding road accessment.
So only Peter Obi will do everything? Man us fighting to get presidency let him focus on that. There are other prominent Igbo men who should be called out
Most of una ehh Fiakwa
Peter Obi will not do everything. The idea is to encourage others. Even if Peter Obi comes here, do you know about others in other remote areas. Is it his job to do these works?. Other need to pickup where he stopped. It's a community effort.
@@Live_IT_my brother. Ike gwuru
Shut up he's right they said charity begins at home Peter Obi is doing over sabi so that the northern will like him but still when it reach to vote their elders will convince them to vote for his brother but the isobo people will vote for him because they know Peter Obi is their brother@@Live_IT_
If he knows about it Peter ofcourse will be there.
Wow, what a wonderful video. Igbos all over Nigeria and world should unite, it's obvious Nigeria isn't our country
Time to show you are Igbo please teach them our Trade and unit ALL Igbos.
I really thank the people doing this by bringing Igbos together.
I love and prefer village life. Village live is simple and most inhabitants are very honest people. I am still searching for a siutable village in Ogun State, Oyo State, Oshun State and even Kwara State to settle when I leave the diaspora.
It's not save these days to live in the villages across South because Fulanis have invaded every parts of the South
It is expensive to take care of ask the American people or Europe
I'm leaving in diaspora and building in Ogun State, they're lots of residential and Farm lands but the only problem are the Omo Oni ile but after you settled them they leave you alone..
Nnamen you are too much, God will bless you for these good work you are doing, i pity our brothers from these area, the former governor lyon imoke did he know that there is an igbo community in cross river like these people at all, they only remember them during election, what a shame.
The Governor Imoke is of Isobo decedent. But he never cared much.
@@henry-saxtv7751 that is very bad of him, they that charity begin at home, who is he expeçting to come and develop his village for him, our people need to learn from the northerners, a notherners cannot do these thing that imoke, today we are seeing the good of gov. Alex Otto of abia state, tommorow even he leaves office His good work will still speak for him, one thing with these life is that one you will only be remembered by what you have done.
Thanks for finding this village they lgbos schatered all over am hearing my language in their speeches Gid be with you all
You are hearing your dialect, not your language. Your language is Igbo, the dialect you are referring to is a variant of the Igbo language, known as dialect. There are about 30 Igbo dialects, including the one you are hearing.
Ur dialect my brother
Lots of respect to you guys! The jobs you do are appreciated! You go through so much so we can sit in the comfort of our own living rooms abroad to watch!!!
Born to scattered
Isobo is part of Igbo mainland but was cut off when Gowon reshaped the Eastern Nigeria by creating East Central State, Rivers State and Cross River State. Successive military administration further caved out part of Abia State to join Akwa Ibom State. They did alk this on purpose to make sure Igbo Heartland is landlocked without having access to the ocean frontline and also to deprive them from having crude oil deposits. But now, there are many discovery of crude oil in some South East states.
Wow😳 Really?😳😢
@@stockstock6805Yes! It is only Ebonyi state that doesn't have crude oil, but has a lot of limestone, rice and salt. Imo, Abia, Enugu and Anambra are sitting on top of crude oil and natural gas. Enugu has coal too. The Igbo areas of Delta and Rivers also have oil. All of them have palm oil begging for development and export: the Nigerian state governments are not interested.
@nosikeuduhirinwa3567 wow, thanks for the info👍 Learnt some new stuff today😏
They probably ended up there during the war. How can you claim two location at the time? Stop claiming shit that is not yours
@@nosikeuduhirinwa3567Stop the claim!!!!
There living conditions are deplorable and this is what will be the fate of those Igbo people who will be trapped in Nigeria if we decide to exit from Nigeria. The Nigerian state have made ibo people minorities in most neighbouring states to reduce the size of the southeast. I hope these people get the recognition they deserve and attract government support mainly on infrastructures.
These people are immigrants. There aren't indigenous to this place. Of Igbo exit Nigeria, they will follow
Haven't you hear Nnamdi kanu says "no igbo territory will be left behind "?
The people of Isobo lives perpetually in communual wars, so it makes it very much difficult for both government and individuals to assist them. Secondly being that these are Igbos mapped into cross River, it's like the Proverbial goat that are being feed by two people; they say if he doesn't die of overfeeding it will die of hunger.
I can understand everything the first person was saying even before the translator speaks.
@@charlescovenant5142 Point of correction: They were not 'mapped' into Cross River. They migrated from Ebonyi into Cross River Mbembe land and settled to trade and farm. Get it straight 🤔
Kudos to you guys on missionary job more blessings
Igbo people have so.much abroad .it's high time people be gathered teachers and everyone to return and rebuild their communities.even of they don't return ,they can go rebuild their broken homes.God os shining all over the world and returning people to its lands
God bless you more to found you re people's
This is a beautiful place to be developed into a great town.. With proper drainage system and other infrastructure every one would want to come and live here.
This is the reason why I said the government of CRS should be probe for failing to provide necessary amenities to her citizens.
yes that state too dey backward
Very beautiful state governed by bad leaders last 17 yrs. Duke tried, Imoke, Ayade and this new one Otu are useless!
Suffering everywhere,Oh God Almighty please come to our rescue
Escalate to Minister of Works Dave Umahi to seek possible assistance. The road is terrible
Great video.
I really enjoyed watching every minute of this video
Wao, this is our people. Why are we scattered all over Nigeria? What kind of politicians do we produce? God Almighty, thanks for one day all the son’s and daughters; of Igbo will come together for glorious return. Amen 🙏.
It's their indigenous land.
The civil war disintegrated the Igbos. Then Nigeria happened to all that were not in the core igbo states. We need to come back together and rebuild our nation. Later someone would say they are not igbos but their language is even more igbo than nsukka igbo 😂
It's never. Settler has no choice.@@graceland395
@@geeonyeamaRebuild with who?? Oga no be me and you oooo.
Watching from Ghana great people
nice work, well done
Nna Mee, you’re doing a very good job. Pls keep it up.
You guys are amazing
This a great work bro God will bless you people for the good work

This is a wonderful and human job this people are doing. God bless
Thank you for bringing a voice and giving this community the face it lacked. May they receive the help that they desperately need.
Good job
Great people
All hail Biafra
Wowooo this area just be end of the world
This is a wonderfull journey. God bless and lead you people successfully and provide the money for the orijets
I love what you are doing brother 😢 ❤
Peter Obi is our present to be if Nigeria still loves light to shine. Please Peter Obi our people at Osobo in River state need your help , anything you can do for them do it they need your help.
Not Rivers state but Cross River state Isobo
Unbelievable, thank you for this video so that those who can help will do so.
Exactly
If this was written article animala will tell you that thr r no igbos in cross river but you can see the difference video story makes u cant argue with facts 😊 great work guys i will comtribute to the water project.
Watching from Mozambique. I salute every one.
What are you doing there??
Abia state n the remaining ibo states should immediately go there n develop the whole community bring it up to standard
Abia state should go and develop a community under cross river states ?
😂 funny comment
abia government that just wake up yesterday from sleeping abi?
Yes , NGO do it all over the world, not in a direct way but as help
Very beautiful woman n hard working speaking clean ibo language
@@afrouniteThey are looking for trouble. Can never happen.
Cross River my state is never Ibo.
Those people are nothing but settlers.
Later Yoruba Man will say no Igbo in cross river.
The are igbos communities in every states surrendered the south east
Yorubas are the progenitors of a fallen demon called oduduwa. It is expected that demons should have the seed of guile and bitterness at righteous people like the Igbos.
Yorobaz tells you who is Igbo and who is not meanwhile claiming Benin republic and even Togo as yorobaz is it not laughable?😂
@@uzopaul871yes, some part of Togo, Benin , and Ghana are Yoruba people. It is not surprising that udigbo are in River State. The former President Jonathan is an Udigbo man. Udigbo immigrated from Congo you have this same culture . Go and check it out
Yorubas are very tribalistic in nature so please pay them no attention. Not even Jesus Christ will make them to Love any other tribes in nigeria. Tribalism and jealousy is in their DNA.
Thanks for the good work. My problem is how will these communities be integrated in the case of division if Nigeria as a country because we know it's going to happen. Only God knows when but it's question of time. Will they be comfortable joining the Igbos in the SE just like the Igbos in Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa that have refused to be classified as Igbo. Will this lead to a greater war when it's happens?. I know there are lot more of these communities in Benue, Koji, Taraba etc
Now that these people have been shown to us and many, some other things must follow, think deep and guess what I might likely mean, bearing in mind the situation of things in Nigeria.
A fund need to be setup by Ndi Igbo world wide to help them.
Chai, Igbo bu Igbo
is this not nnahme tv, well good work
The Cross River , Akwa Ibom , old Eastern Region are Igbo people . Nothing like South South it doesn't exist anywhere
Wow that's why others are afraid for your taking over the east...others don't exist really???.
Stop the claim. You cannot claim someone's ancestral land as a settler from SE.
@@immyammy7185.
What about north north
Here resemble my clan in Ebonyi state, afikpo south
Please with map so that we know where you are. Thanks for the job well done.
Wow Obubra, where the NYSC camp is situated.
UNA WELDONE BROTHERS....WE FALL AND WE RISE....
Hmmm i can't believe what I'm seeing in this generation God help us
Very interesting voyage.Please nnaa men how can I join you in your mission? I really love what you are doing.
The damage Nigeria has done to our people just to cause division with ndi Igbo. Our people in Isobo needs help, these why i had no regards for ohanaeze
Those men are fools
Illegal settlers.
I knew Peter Obi married from south south, why is he not digging boreholes for this our brothers. He's busy digging boreholes in the north, pure politics. Aku rue uno.
Don't mind the idiot
Peter is a private citizen. What about your Igbo elected representatives. Common man!
must every problem in Nigeria go to peter obi,am from cross river I know this place, cross river has a governor why must every thing to go peter obi
Do you know how many isolated communities even worse than this? How many will Peter Obi attend to? I think this people need the road fixed more than anything because i can see beautiful buildings in the community and the indegenes can come together and get some basic amenities. Meanwhile, Igbos should rise to the occasion and help the best way they can.
Peter Obi is not the president of Nigeria neither is he the Governor of the that state. He can not fix Nigeria with his personal money.
All the igbo communities that are carved into others states that are different tribes are like this, just like benue, cross river, rivers state , edo state and many other areas. Their state government abandoned them just because the knew that these people are not their tribes. Very painful to say one is from nigeria, a slave name. This present generation should wake up now for our freedom or doom forever because the coming indomie generation cannot do it.
They speak like Ebonyi State people. I understand them, but hard a little to hear. May God bless them as God's own people, in Jesus name. Igbos are God's own people, sure!
They are this kind of community that many governors should be helping . Than helping those people that their government are closer to .
I understand their dialet, my mother is from Udi in Enugu state!
NNA MEEH. JISIE IKE .
I was afraid of this journey .May God protect all of u in Jesus name.
Look at that ariel shot. Look how the land is well cultivated. In most African communities, most of the arable land is uncultivated. Our people are never lazy, no matter the situation.
My heart bleeds for Ndi Igbo outside South East. Our leaders should start thinking on how to integrate us into one umbrella. Why create an Orlu state, when such state as Anioma from Delta? Isobo could be integrated into a local government in Ebonyi State...!
Nnaa memn thank you for this. Please , i know it's not an easy job but push their matters to Ohaneze, World Igbo Congress, etc and also some senators. They can help to present their matters before Ebonyi & CRS government especially.
Constructing a road to connect the 2 state from these our brothers at the borders . So sad to see them in such terrible state.
Brother we need to Igbo foundation so we can contribute some warefair
Are you kidding 😳 a place like this exists? People still living and suffering like this in this era???
Is this Nigeria or somalia???, where is the government of cross river is them good for only for election results,if the government can't do anything for them it high time for them to gover them self, guys thanks for your marvelous Job God Almighty will continue bless you guys in Jesus mighty name Amen
Cross river state government deliberately neglected them because they knew those people were igbo, if you go to kogi state the same thing is happening to igbo people trapped in that place
I understood their language more than some parts in Enugu
Na. What that bycicle ride was serious .zNns meet jisike..
Ogbubara is situated at izzi side and also in cross rever
Ou travels, could you add English subtitles in the parts where Igbo was Spoken?
now thank God for eye open that our gorvners have been using us for fool but thank God for our leader mnk kalu and Epka the one and only priminster whom as come to rescue us from their hands
Let them come out and learn our way which is trade njiri mara anyii,anyii bu ndi chukwu goziri agozi
But i don't think that Isobo people are the only Igbos in Cross Rivers state, remember that this musician called Sunny Nneji and former governor of Cross Rivers state call Imoke, are both Igbos of Cross Rivers state and i don't think they from Isobo
Imoke is from abi local government,not from isobo
@@MOSESFELIX-vd3vt no mind am. People go just open mouth like waaa. Sunny Neji wey from Ogoja.
@@MOSESFELIX-vd3vtbut they said Imoke is a Cross Rivers Igbo or am I lying? Why did they said it then and boldly that he is Cross Rivers Igbo?
@@leonardorjioffor6683you are right, so many igbo communities in cross river
@@leonardorjioffor6683Imoke grew up in Enugu. His late dad was a minister in the 1st Republic.
This community is very sharp to compare the community I did my Nysc “ Akara Obodo, Ndokwa east local government, Delta State 😢
Who and where is the local government chairman...what are the federal government allocation to the LGA?...
How far is this area from Pot Harcourt or Okrika?
Hi
The speak like the aboyi state people in the South East Nigeria
This suppose to be ohaneze work but they will never do that instead they will be doing what is not necessary
I think the Igbo leaders failed the igbos not Nigeria. They failed to provide leadership and direction. Igbos should admit their faults and fix it. People are proud to identify themselves with people who provides leadership and sight. The igbos should realize the old way is no longer working.
Nna eeeh our people are really suffering 😢
The truth is that the Nigerian government wants the Igbos disintegrated, but some of the Igbos are disintegrating themselves the more. Calling other Igbos that are not in south east as fake Igbo. It's absurd..
I saw last time that they produce rice. What is the minimum amount one can invest in rice production there?
Go to SE and invest.
