I think you are a bigotic tribalist!

Nowenuse:
Also, based on the 5 major human geographical divisions we have in Nigeria

The Core-northern part of Nigeria, the Middlebelt part, Eastern, Western & Niger deltan

Let's say Margaret Ekpo represents the Niger deltan region as an Ibibio
Ladi Kwali represents the Middlebelt region as a Gbagyi woman
& Funmilayo Kuti represents the Western (yoruba speaking region)

I'd like to hear from Igbos (easternerns) and the Hausa-fulanis (core-northernerns), who are the most influential Igbo & Hausa-fulani women that ever lived??

Nowenuse:
Here's a very realistic list of the likely 3 Most influential Nigerian women that ever lived, in no particular order.

I'd also like Nairalanders to tell between these 3 women who inspires you more and who is deserving of the tag of the Most influential Nigerian woman that ever lived.

She is not igbo. attachee by force. Ekpo can never be Igbo. and she will never be Igbo.
you guys should look for your own. Rubbish! how can she be Igbo? she is not Igbo. Fumi, is full Yoruba. Ekpo is not Igbo. before you
know it now they will claim her like they want to claim Lagos. SS people don't allow this covetous people to claim one of your own.

This is getting too much of you people. every thing they want to claim. spit on you people

Nowenuse:


Ekpo never represented Aba in anything. Read the story well
She only organised and created pressure groups in Aba, because Aba was the largest city in her region (Eastern region. So she functioned from Aba.

Margaret Ekpo got elected into the parliament by the influence of her husband John Udo Ekpo who was also a member of the parliament and her husband was Ibibio.

So u can see that Efik-Ibibio influence was what made Margaret Ekpo who he was and not Igbo. because her Igbo father died while she was still young and her Efik mother brought her up to a grown woman.
However she lived as a proud eastern woman representing her region and fighting for the women in her region in totality. Igbo women benefited from Ekpo more than Ibibio-Efik women because almost all of Ekpo's activities were based in Aba.

CaptainOjemba:
You seem to have grown up with Margaret to have know that she was more Efik than Igbo, she doesn't have paternal uncles and cousins?when she was living at Aba, hope she was using Efik to communicate with Umu Nwanyi Aba? I see your write up as delusion inspired

They know all this but their greediness and attache by force would not allow their clouded brain to agree with you.

Typical example of this is Yemi Alade who is Yoruba via her Father and Igbo via her mum but if you listen to her music, it all radiate Igbo culture simply cos she was brought up by her mum in the East.

Despite d fact that her father is a Yoruba man and has her full name in Yoruba; everything about her radiate nothing but Igbo culture.

kaura5000:
See this cannibals... whats is it worth to claim berom and gwari.. when I know I surpassed you guys in every indices... ibb is not hausa he is gwari for saying gwari are close to berom.. you should tell that to late senator dahiru awaisu kuta and millions of muslim gwari who outnumbered the Christians... fools

Margaret probably learnt Igbo later in life as her works were based in Aba, but her native and first language remained Efik.

The write up noted that Margaret had a huge set back in her education and life at the time of her father's death. If her father's uncles stood by her, it wouldn't have been as bad as it was.

dotune:
If Lady Ekpo was born by an Igbo fathers then she's Igbo. What is fascinating is the fact that her mother had so much influence over her zthat she raised her to rep the SS and even got her married to the SS. Mothers can be a great influence over their wards. So are u planning to be one?

somegirl1:



So would you say Yemi Alade is full Igbo and her Yoruba ancestry is insignificant?

cutietokunbo:


I watched one of her interviews in anticipation of seeing Yorubaness in her but bro, she is completely influenced and lost to Igbo culture.

She ll look awkward in the midst of Yorubas.

Even Chidinma is more Yoruba than Yemi Alade

Amefrica:

Unfortunately!

PreciousBro:


You are uneducated and most of ,bias and twisted in the mind. You lack the antecedents of life.

How did you jump all the threads before mine that was clearly to ease the tribal nonsense ensuing ? If the rubbish I quoted is your formal yardstick and analysis to determine one's origin then you re better left in a tinapa cage.

Mother tongue? So you think her mom's language is the mother tongue.

And she didn't spend in reasonable amount of her growing years in aba or did you skip the original post and hurriedly quote me in defiance to your ethnic group.

somegirl1:


I hear you but you haven't answered my question.

cutietokunbo:


Yes of course her Yoruba ancestry is undeniable but like I said earlier, during the interview, everything about her success was completely influenced by Igbo culture.

The Yoruba ancestry of Yemi Alade ll continue to be part of her but trust me, her Igboness is obvious to d blind and audible to the deaf.

If not cos of her name, nobody ll ever take her serious

Seriously i used to have respect for u igbos as a middlebelter but it seems that respect is now dwindling because of the reactive, hypertensive and silly character of u igbos sometimes.

If u read d quote well u will clearly see that i was just trying to pull the legs and make a slight joke with the person i quoted and not deserving of the insults u are throwing at me u silly scallywag.

Do u actually know what mother's tongue/native language means? It purely means the language u first learn from birth and have fluency first.
Margaret spent her entire childhood & teenagehood in Calabar with her Efik mother, so she learnt to speak Efik first as her 1st language before she probably later learnt Igbo due to her later works in Aba.
Margaret had married first before she and her husband migrated to settle in Aba.
try to read and comprehend u silly man before u start reacting at the slightest deemed threat.
