Their language is Ibani(not Ijaw) and they speak Igbo together with their language.

Their names are mostly english, Igbo and Ijaw

My sister was born in Ikwerre land but that doesn't mean she's Ikwerre.

A typical Bonny man will not identify with Ijaws.

bigx:

They started speaking igbo during the era of the slave trade because Bonny was the point of entry for ships during the colonial error, the language was picked up from cargo through the east

I've NEVER seen a Bonny person (except maybe one parent is igbo) with an Igbo name, Opobo maybe but not Bonny

I don't mean born that way, I mean that's their ancestral land.

That premise is faulty, I stay around Bonny people everyday so I know what I'm saying, check civil war history.

afam4eva:
Anioma is Igbo speaking.

chucky234: What are the communities that make up Anioma?

chucky234: You don't even know your root,what a pity.

afam4eva:
I was actually mostly referring to Opobo. I don't usually seperate Bonny and Opobo.

Abagworo:

Do you actually believe all the Igbos you've met are from one origin or born of Igbo parents? Ethnicity is actually a thing of the mind and not a thing of blood. An Igbo is anybody that believes he is Igbo and has the ethnic consciousness. A typical example on nairaland is "agbotaen" and "Ogbuefi" who are both from Ika(Igbo speaking part of Delta). While Ogbuefi believes he's 100% Igbo, Agbotaen dislikes being associated with Igbo.

Even someone from the heart of Igboland like [/b]Oraukwu[b], Nnewi and Orlu could dissociate himself and children from Igbo if he so wishes while a white European like Andre's friend recognizes himself as Igbo.

Are you from Delta state?

Da infamous: river state are natural born murderers that carry igbo names are not igbo by blood we welcome delta igbo only...

Billyonaire: You follow me everywhere I go. Is that not awesome ? You have been promoted to the position of BillyOnaire's bouncer. Follow me around boy.

chucky234: Ndokwa has never being an Igbo entity and will never be,the people of Ndokwa knows their history quite well,if you care to know then carry out a thorough research. Ogume for instance migrated from Beni while Obiaruku has a huge history with the people of Isoko,Asaba and Ogwashi-Uku had their roots from Igbo but certainly not Ndokwa.

Billyonaire: Both of my paternal and maternal grand mums are Igbo, does that qualify me as Igbo ?

okpara ugo: Igbos are wisemen from the east. Abia is the only Nigerian state mentioned in the holy bible. They sent gifts to Jesus when he was born.

Da infamous: being a Billyonaire have already made you an igbo person...

Billyonaire: Congratulations to me then, I love the people, I love Igbos more than I love condoms.

How dare you compare Igbos with condoms .

How dare you compare Igbos with condoms .

Billyonaire: That was not comparison my friend, in elementary English we called it Metaphor.

Andre Uweh:
Yea, lower Niger is more appropriate to use for the location of Ndigbo. Even before the colonialist devided Ndigbo into east and west regions, geography had done that already. They only followed the geographical demarcation to biset Ndigbo.
Anyway, back to topic: location of Ndigbo-the 5 south east states, Delta north, upland Rivers/Bonny, Opobo, Igbanke in Edo state, Ndoki in Etim Ekpo, Akwa Ibom state and Okpokwu LGA in Benue state.
Outside Nigeria, there are indigenous Ndigbo in Equatorial Guinea mostly of Aro stock.

The metaphoric use of condoms to somewhat qualify Igbos is...
