Goodboiyy: don't regard that guy...... He is speaking of these issues from how he sees them through his own lenses.... He says Itsekiris are insignificant in the grand ibo plan, yet radio Biafra is launching relay stations in Warri (An Itsekiri-Urhobo) stronghold.... for what exactly? Obviously it is him who see whole ethnic groups as mere economic pawns for your own mind/grand evil scheme...... 6 Likes 1 Share |

asha80: It would appear to me that they see people from across the bridge as fairly different in attitude, culture and language. Delta state (carved out of Bendel state, formerly the Mid-Western region) is a complex mix of ethnicities which may contribute to why they have learned to live agreeably with their neighbours. 1 Like |

scholes0: Bro pls ignore those Igbo folks, we all know were the Itskiri nation will belong to if Nigeria Disintegrate, Biafra not on that list, so I think that radio Biafra stuff is just waste. They claim they don't need Itsekiri resources but everyday they re giving us reason to hate Yoruba , For wat na, ?? if I don't associate with people I speak same language with, is it some1 from east that we gat nothing in common with that I will associate myself with ?. its very easy 4 us to integrate into Yoruba system that y itsekiri musicians re welcomed in Yoruba land more than other ethnic group, Omawunmi can testify to this. Well to me Delta North is Igbo, I think all this stuff re a result of the civil war the problem too is that some group in agbor believe they migrated from Bini so they re more Bini that Igbo, that y aside they need enlightenment. 1 Like 1 Share |

Goodboiyy: The truth is that Western Nigeria, is the only part of Nigeria where everyone can comfortably feel at home..... Itsekiris are most welcome, but so are other groups, Igbos, Binis, Etsakos, Urhobos, Ebiras, Igalas, Jukuns, Tivs, Hausas are all there merrying and chilling day in, day out. This is aided by the religious plurality of the region, and the general friendly nature people there have..... anyone who disagrees with that is only looking for the exact spot where the rainbow touches ground. Goodboiyy:Maybe..... It is a mix. Many of the towns in that area have the "-Idu" prefix... which are classic signs of Edo established settlements. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Goodboiyy: On point bro! Its just sad, sad, sad,sad, sad... A question no one asked him, a point that was not just needless but not even contested in that international gathering, only points to one thing...a deep inferiority complex. I do not blame Sunday Oliseh, but rather I blame the fathers, grandfathers and elders in Anioma who have played politics with the identity of their children. That Sunday Oliseh's father chose to give him a core Igbo name like Ogochukwu and then turn around and tell him they are not Igbos is just sad, sad, sad...clear signs of self hatred, and unresolved inferiority complex. What happened to Bini names and Igalla names? Why Igbo names? Pathetic really. History will tell the story...and try as you may...the truth will always out...one way or the other. In this issue, the key points Ikas conveniently forget is: 1) Their neighbours- the Binis, Urhobos, Ijaws,Igallas, Itshekiris...know exactly who they are. Historical antecedents and shared histories cannot be changed for any one. 2) The Igbos know too who the Aniomas and Ikas are. Just like it happened in 1967 and before then when the 1966 coup planned by mainly Anioma officers was termed an Igbo coup... Just like it happened when the pogroms started in Kano, Kaduna and other northern cities... Just like it happened after the war, when shame was thrown to the wind and a person bearing names like Emeka and Nwachukwu would tell fantastic tales of how his forefathers came from Bini...all to get an appointment... Just like it has been happening...when push comes to shove...Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh, whose brother's name is Azubuike Olise, whose family all bear names that only Igbo speaking people bear, and speak a language that all experts agree is an Igbo dialect... they will be reminded of who they were before the British came... they will be reminded of who they were when the British ruled the land... they will be reminded of who they were when Nigerian gained independence... they will be reminded of who they were all through the crude oil era... they will be reminded that only Igbo people bear names like Ogochukwu, Oliseh, Azubuike... that such names are not borne by Bini, Igalla,Itshekiri, Urhobo,Ijaw, Ogoni,Ogojo folks... that a man who denies his history and heritage for political advantage deserves whatever derision he has attracted... And for the posters encouraging him in his show of shame, it does not really matter what tag or name a group of people chose to identify with. I agree, its a free world after all. What matters is HISTORY...for the present and posterity. It is history that will be your reference when contesting that land case in your village. Else, a complete stranger who has lived in your community for decades can openly contest your ancestral land. After all, his grandfather knew your grandfather, his father and your father were playmates and so on. But and that's a big but...they were never a part of the community in the actual sense of it. History will remind them of the exact date of their migration, the exact name of the place they came from, and the exact name of who gave the migrants the land to build their house on. It is all about history. The message Oliseh passed across when carried to its logical conclusion can only lead to confusion and chaos. Imagine...just imagine for instance, if the Fulani royal families ruling all the Hausa Emirates...wake up one morning and deny being Fulanis. What will happen to the Fulani invasions of Zaria, Gwandu, Katsina, Kano, Adamawa, Kebbi and other Hausa city states? What will happen to the story of the former pure Hausa royal families displaced and usurped by the Fulani invaders? Most people down south do not even know that Lamido Sanusi the new emir of Kano is not Hausa but a scion of the Fulani usurpers who took over the ancient Kano royalty. True the Fulani rulers might have acculturated and now speak Hausa instead of Fula, but what will happen to the history of how they came to be the rulers of the Hausa city states...if they are start denying their Fulani ancestry? Your guess is a good as mine. History...shared history will only be the reference. Cos as I have mentioned in another thread, a shipload of shared history will have to be rewritten to accommodate that idea. "Chukwu" will have to meaning something else apart from the Igbo supreme creator, "Azubuike" will take on a different meaning once you cross the Niger...I could go on. I think the Ikas should tell the world how they came to bear Igbo names, have Igbo traditions and speak an Igbo dialect. Or maybe they just need the pity and help of Nigerians to resolve their identity crises...cos after listening to Oliseh in the TEDX video, its clear the Ikas do not even know they have an identity crisis. Cos if this is not resolved, tomorrow another confused fellow might come up with another interpretation of words like Chukwu, Afor, Orie, Nkwo and other Igbo cultural land marks. Not only would they leave other Nigerians confused, but Igbos would be doomed to repeats of what played out in 1967...where the entire Eastern Region paid for the sins of Ika/Anioma officers from the Mid-Western Region...all because of identity crisis. I just hope the SE Igbos will be wiser this time to disassociate themselves from such people and let them face the music on their own. 4 Likes 1 Share |

What exactly is the difficulty in defining 'Igbo'? Why do you all have to repeat this discussion and re-attempt this definition over and over and over and over and... I've lost count.. oh well. Igbo is an ethno-linguistic categorization with emphasis on lingusitic. Identity is a non-issue and should be treated as such. Self-determination has zero effect on the categorization and the same goes for ancestral kinship. If one's people come from the ethno-linguistic region of Igbo-speaking communities, then you are, by default, categorized as 'Igbo'. No one can force that on you (this goes out to those unlearned humans trying to fight something that is simply out of their control), and consequently, no one can take that away from you (this goes out to the dumb Igbo I've seen trying to rob other Igbo of their 'Igboness'). Enough said. If left with you all, you would all spend eternity trying to define something that does not require all this long talk and expended bandwidth. 2 Likes |
