A confused country wallowing in a state of poverty induced and maintained by corrupt leadership at all levels.

This anioma debate must be one of the most discussed topic and it will be interesting to see how it will be resolved eventually.

To all of you calling me clueless and claiming all what not, coming on an online forum forming know-it-all and insulting your unborn generations, I say MAY IT BE WELL WITH YOU. In a couple of years I'll have no need for a Nigerian passport so go on claiming all claimables, in fact ukwuanis are core igbos including ikwerres, ikas, opobos, even the people from GEJs part of bayelsa state! Anything that boosts your freaking self esteem. Broke fellas.

pazienza:

I am sure that you are from one of those isoko speaking communities in ukwuaniland, communities like Etevie in Ibrede clan, ibrede we all know was founded by Uruabohs, that you isoko people from Iyede were allowed to settle there in great numbers by benevolent uruabohs and were even allowed to have your odionlogbo does not make ukwuani isokoland. It simply means that you are an isoko in an igbo territory,when you are tired of staying here,you can go back to iyede where your ancestors came from.

You could be Onogbokor clan,but do remember that Itebiege is but a customary tenant to their neighbourin aboh speaking communities.

All the isoko speaking/related people in Ibedeni,Ibrede(etevie),Onogbokor(itiegbe) and Igbuku all know where they came from in isokoland,anyday you guys are tired of staying in igbo territory known as ukwuani, you can relocate back to isokoland.

After all,all originally igbo speaking people that migrated to isokoland have since isokonized,from Aviara(Ase), Ozoro( Oputa aboh),to igbide(mgbidi) the story was the same,they had long surrendered their igbo ancestry to build a stronger isoko nation, you guys would either have to toe their path,or find yourself deported to isokoland ASAP, you can't be allowed to continue being a hinderance to igbo unity.

bro, abeg, is everything ok? why deny your identity; pls wake up the civil war is over

My bro its not denial.dat is just d truth..igbo,ika,ukwuani, ar familiar people.for example d anioma people-delta state comprises of d igbos(aniocha/oshimili),the ukwuani,and ika ethnicity.dis group of people where being group by d colonial masters as western igbo because of d large igbo influence..but not all of dem accepted dat name most expecialy d ukwuani and ika people because of their different origins.althoug ther might jus be som litle similarity but dey r totaly different tribes.by d way ,it was d colonial masters dat groupd dem as one...but now evertin has bin corrected..despite d similarity btw urobo,and bini, dey still remain urobo ethnicity ..dis also applies to Ukwuani...so get confused by belivin history because som ar jus fake political propaganda.som writers ar very much bias in writings jus to achieve thier selfish aims(just like d colonial masters).let ukwuani be and let igbo be..they might belong to d same territory but dey r diffrent tribes..

Lol yoruba pple have invaded this thread.

The entire Igbo people should be grouped together in one geopolitical region. This will comprehensively solve the problem of identity crisis.

Garrithe1st:
The Anioma people like their brothers across the Niger are big cry-babies. Wrapper tying men who whine all day, thinking things will be dumped on ur laps without having to for it.

They are more than the Itsekiris in terms of population as well as land mass, yet the Itsekiris have produced the governor of Delta state while they keep doing what they do best. Same way the S.E. Ibos think crying and whining is the way to get a shot at the presidency.

If the Aniomas like, they should keep whining on billboards and other media, 2015 will come and afterwards their crying will still continue..

Awuuf loving folks!!

u are a Fooool...we got the power now...don't like it? Eat shiit and die...inferior Vermin!

'We are not Ibo's'....lol, as if Ibo's advertised any vacancy. mtchew

AndreUweh:

You personally not Igbo is ok, but Ukwuanis are Igbos.

wrong statement. Ukwuanis is not igbo.b4 u make ur stupid conclusions,try and find out d ethnic groups in nigeria. Dont be foolish and ignorant... I am ukwuani and not igbo. There is igbo,ther is ukwuani,there is aniocha-delta igbo,there is ikwere...neva u put all as the same .coconut headed igbos dont learn atall

Garrithe1st:




Wetin this one dey talk?

if u want to be igbo,be igbo,if u want 2b ika be,if u want to be ukwuani be, d fact is dat u beta stop d name callin, if u cannot respect other peoples view or ethnicity because of little liguitstic similarity , then we cannot work 2geda.. Iv hv neva seen where d igala man will call d idoma man names,or where d urobo cal d isoko names,or where d bassa man cal d nupe names,or where d edo man call esan edo..even d yoruba still respect the itsekiri... U igbos dont hv respect 4 other people yet igbos r fewer than hausa and yoruba..it is because of dis arrogance dat led 2d masacre of igbo people nation wide. If u want to live in a mans land u dont call him names or claim u can chalenge his powers because it wil lead u to death

AndreUweh:
This idiotic thread deserves to be in the waste bin. Obsession with anything Igbo is a disease. @ the OP, are you Igbo or from Anioma area by any chance?.

Andre,it is no obsession. 80% of Anioma say they are not Igbo,plain and simple. Even people from Asaba,Ogwashi ukwu,Okpanam,Akwukwu,Igbuzor Iselle Azagba. They don't want association with the Igbo...I have seen this with my own eyes.

tonychristopher:



they dont find it hard to accept igboness just some of them who are at bottom of pyramid and misguided ones who are insignificant and also those whose fore fathers are refugees from benin and yoruba land. they will want everybody to believe that there wasnt anybody when they migrated to their present day but ended up speaking igbo and bearing igbo names. igbos must have been the best colonisers better than brithian. making people to loose their main toungue,bear their names and have their culture. what a travesty. britian colonised us but we still speak our native langugae and native names. so you can see they are igbos just the issue of identity crisis is disturbing few of them not all.

but nevere worry...other tribes in delta will remind them that they are igbo.the way igbanke are reminded in edo.they cry and wants their original name igbo akiri reverted. you dont call God fool....he created you igbo a mojority tribe and why making yourself minority. what is wrong is classifying anioma as a south east state. what matters is not oil but indidividuals.look at aba and nnewi and industries...look at onitsha and commerce,look at owerri and tourism

y r u just too foolish? Who told u all anioma are igbos. By d way i dont hav any relatnship wit u.so stay away 4rm us.UKWUANI AND IGBO are two different tribes despite linguistical similarity.. Edo,urobo,etsako r different tribes despite liguist similarity..de live with d same territory

Look,I don't care much about what you chose to call your self but don't tamper with well researched and written down history. That's where you will earn zero respect. History has it that there were bini migrants into your region but the aborigines weren't bini,these people spoke Igbo and practice the culture. Anioma is an Igbo land and that will never change because Igbo culture and influence is too strong for anybody to wipe out with little lies and revision. These people will keep speaking Igbo and practicing Igbo culture till eternity not because they are being forced but simply because they are Igbo and no amount of lies can change that. After running your mouth you will still give your children Igbo names...lol. Unless,if you are one of the decendants of bini migrants who want to keep your identity. You may think we don't know you but sorry we So,yea we know the bini people amongst Anioma. Like I said call yourself whatever but you will never succeeded in rewriting Anioma history. I have seen black Americans who deny their race!!!

we d ukwuanis say a big congratulatn to our brother,d govnor of delta state,dr authur ifeanyi okowa, an ika man,a proud anioman..may God bless. D jealous people 4rm d SE r tryin to feel like deltan but im sorry de cant hav d opportunity.

I have been ignoring you for a while but it's time you get a reality check; The peripheral Anioma has migrants and influence from westward but it's no news Anioma is overwhelmingly an Igbo land. The people speaks Igbo dialect,practice Igbo culture with minor influences from bini groups but every single Anioma who have a baby today is giving them Igbo names....lol
Ukwuani is nothing but a dialect of Igbo because I can read and understand 80% of it yet I never interacted with them.So,stop the rants and go sit down.

You are very senseless: Jealous of what if I may ask ?
In fact,this is beginning to sound like an open market women quarrel. Did you say infertile? Criminal?? This is pathetic...lol

Where is that coward-ish f.ool,quit running like a scared chicken and engage NWA ONYE IGBO!

Why must you wake up and call me names...I think you have challenges in upbringing or you are fraustrated...I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANY REASONABLE UKWUANI MAN FROM THEIR KINGS TO OKPALA UKU say they aint Igbo..why should I engage a nobody like you......

why don't you make a mark in your life, so that when you cough atleast ant will catch cold

[size=15pt]let's look at Abia state There are many clans with different dialect in this state but there still claim their Igbo origin...then imagine Abia state as one south south state and Aro man claims he is not Igbo because has boundary with ibibio and they dress alike or Udumaeze (ohafia,Abam,chieze,uduma) claiming another tribe because they have boundary with another tribe [/size]

well i don't care if you personally claim Igbo or not...all i care about is that we should maintain our culture without this unnecessary divisions cause by the artificial boundary called south south

Guy,chill out. These people detest to be called Igbo,it's no news. I don't have any problem with that,however my issue with them is trying to change what WAS. Don't tell me you learn Igbo through trade just because you wanna deny it. How about the deep rooted culture and lifestyle ? Did that came through trade,too? The names of places,deities,people and basically every measure used to describe a people has Igbo written all over it . Say you don't wanna be Igbo and I will understand but don't say you were never Igbo.

The little pu.ssy a..ss coward don tear race because he knows he is about to be owned like a slave by his superiors....lol

Not all...this is what an Ukwuani man said and corrected them
