achi4u: No.Even satan will respect its offspring and will not harm them like those 'innocent student'.

Uneastly[b],you can't found such barbaric and evil minded people in Igboland[/b]....

that is why i said b4 that they are not igbo, and they will never be.

An Igbo man could have children with a British woman, an African American woman or even a Yoruba women and his children will be considered Igbo.

The same cannot be said of an Igbo woman who marries outside her ethnicity.

if u look at it the father is the one that deposit 80% DNA and the mother is just an incubator

When they say IGBO KWENU and u respond YA! U r igbo:-)

chucky234: I am driving now,I will provide you with detailed facts when I get to my destination,you don't know the origin of your people let alone that of Ndokwa,where did Igbos come from?

Drive carefully, keke too dey summersault for una area.

CHESSBOARD:

Yes we are, I am one of them, you can learn about me too .

If you r Hardworking
If you r independent and not spoonfeed
If you r widely traveled
If you r intelligent and creative
And if you are from SE Nigeria and speak Igbo by mother or by father language,
Then you r ONYE-IGBO!!!

Hmmm! Really!
All this characteristics you have laid down belongs to your ethnic igbo group. Right? What about hundreds of other ethnic groupings in Nigeria, does it mean they don't possess same quality/ characteristic as listed by you? #justcurious

And if you don't mind, can you tell me more about you ethnic group?

Lastly, if i meet a Nigerian in my country and he has all these Qaulities you have mentioned, should i automatically assume he is an Igbo?

Da infamous: that is why i said b4 that they are not igbo, and they will never be.

except!,
if any of them want to associate and pay the price of being an IGBO(if they know what I mean of being an Igbo),then that person is highly wellcome.

To be an 'Onye Igbo' no be small tin lol

Cha! Cha!! Cha!!! Cha!!! Igbo kwenu!! Ehia e e e eh!!!
Generally, an igbo man is made up of the following;
1. Business oriented (they are money conscious).
2. Embodiment of wisdom/knowledge (esp Mbaise people)
3, Domineering attitude(anywhere they find themselves' they live as if they own the place unlike the other tribes eg building of houses in a foreign land)
When u see a man with these qualities, He is a typical IGBOMAN.

Nigerians are generally hardworking & Intelligent irrespective of the tribe. But whenever you see a Nigerian in a foreign land, there is over 70% chance that the Nigerian is an Igbo. Igbos travel alot

Ngodigha:
in that case Desmond Eliot and Mercy Johnson are not Igbo. Their mums are Igbo but their fathers are yorub and Igala.

You've answered it already. An Igbo mother married to non-Igbo father doesn't qualify one as Igbo.

Antivirus92: the first one is accurate, the second, manageable but the third is wide of the mark, not acceptable.

If you're called a tribalist now, all hell will bent lose! Imagine your ignorance! If the Americans could refer to you as Americans without giving a fcuuk about your Nigerian background, who the hell are you to stop others becoming Igbo?

This is the same bullshhit that have for so long deprive the Ndigbo of the oneness Nigeria so much crave for.

What if i called you an illiterate.Will all hell be let lose? Is America an ethnic group and is Igbo a country? Why compare them.

Ejiné:

I guess you dumb Nairalanders refer to indigenes of Rivers State as Igbo, only when it suits your idiiotic motives.

I have read posts in NL that call Port Harcourt Indigenes inyamiris.

Even in other blogs and sites nowadays places like Aluu are referred to as an Igbo towns on occassion.

Very interesting that the people of Rivers State and even the entire SE are considered Igbo on selective instances.

There are no ethnicity in the US except of course the Native of America. If one speaks Igbo fluently,they should be able to call themselves whatever regardless of where they come from.

Nobody is depriving others from being Igbo, the only difference here is that we've what is termed Igbo culture which is completely different from the American, ok?

Hence, only two parameters qualifies one to be Igbo:

1. If both parents are Igbo, u're Igbo.

2. If your father is Igbo but married to non-Igbo, u're Igbo

Else, you are not Igbo...

Nwa agu anaghi ata afifia,nwa nmili ejiro osonmiri eficha aka

Can you clarify more?

Qualities: Triangular head and laziness..he/she is igbo!

Does this mean that 70% of Nigerians that works in with Foreign organization like,(UN), (AU), (ECA) and NGO's in my country are all Igbo's?

Stop misspelling our names, there is nothing like "Ukwu", its Uku as in Ubulu-Uku, Issele-Uku, Ogwashi-Uku. Anioma people are Anioma people, the fact that Ralph Uweuche is Ohaneze president is merely political and not an indication of communality. Abdulrahman Okene was from Kogi, yet was chairman of the Arewa Consultative Forum. Go to Okene, call them Hausa/Fulani and see if they won't behead you. Anioma won't go that far but we will claim Igbo when its politically or economically expedient and reject it when its not.

WHERE IS YOUR COUNTRY? IF IT'S BRITAIN IS YORUBA, IF IT'S CHINA IS IGBO, IF IT'S CHAD IT'S HAUSA, IF IT'S ITALY IS EDO SO CHOSE

IGBO ARE THE ISREALITES, ANY WHERE YOU GO INTHIS WORLD AND DIDNT MEET AN IGBO PERSON PLEASE RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

I HAVE BEEN TYO ALL PART OF THE COUNTRY, NOT JUST VISIT, LIVE NOT LEST THAN A YEAR

THANK GOD I AM AN IGBO, IGBOS HAVE NO COMPARISON, IF NOT THIER GREEDINESS AND HATRED FOR THEIR FELLOW IGBOS

IN A COMPANY WHERE YORUBAS HOLDS THE MAIN KEY POSITION, U WILL NOTICE TAT 90% OF STAFFS ARE YORUBAS, BUT IGBOS WILL NEVER HELP THEIR OWN PEOPLE COS OF ENVY AND SELFISHNESS. OUTSIDE THAT IGBO IS GREAT, INSPITE THAT I SILL LOVE MY IGBO

My country is Ethiopia!
So...?

Some Urhobos are of Igbo origin, Some Ijaws are of Igbo origin and even some Efik. If we go by the logic of some people here, then we can as well call them Igbo. Same goes with some Igbos who are of Ibibio, Ijaw and Benin origin. I think it is all about ethnic consciousness and not origin.

Even when this consciousness is seasonal and dependent on whether Igbo is in vogue or not?
