where in my comment dis I say I'm not proud of my tribe? U lived In warri while I am from Delta state. R u from Delta? All I said is let people stop calling us Delta Igbo and u went ahead to insult me? Was Delta ever part of igbo? It does not matter wat tribe I am, I am Deltan not Delta Igbo like some yoruba and igbos want to believe we r.

I really don't think Igbos should waste their time on threads like this. undecided

We know our brothers in Delta and other SS states (and benue) and they know us.

This is all that matters I believe.
Some are brainwashed so we need to put some igbotic content in the barren brain if theirs you know

The same Delta state that Edwin Clark, Tompolo and Orubebe unashamedly proclaim their Ijaw heritage without apologies, is where you want to disguise your Igboness. The spirits Of Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, lt colonel Okonweze and over 20,000 Anioma people massacred because they are Igbos will haunt you till you receive sense.


Lt Col Gabriel Okonweze, the Asaba man. Him along with Nzeogwu,Olutoye and Obasunjo were all commissioned officers of the Nigerian Army in 1960. Okonweze was for a time in Enugu Barrak as a major under the command of Lt Colonel Fajuyi and later, Lt Colonel Ejoor. When Nzeogwu and co struck in 1966, Ironsi made Fajuyi Governor of the Western Region and Ejoor was made Governor of the mid-west. Okonweze was subsequently promoted to Lt Colonel and made commander of Abeokuta garrison. Unfortunately, 6 months later, Okonweze was gunned down during the counter coup by northern Soldiers as he hosted a meeting of senior officers under his command. He would have made a fine officer for Biafra

the purported lady by the forum name "addellem" is not from delta state, and should not be taking serious. when igbo speaking deltans are talking, she should stay at the backburner. meanwhile, there's one forum where Awori people said they are not yoruba, and a certain one where ijube people dismisses the claim that they are yoruba. though i did not mean to redirect the topic, but to give a direct bearing to what is obtainable in some quarters

Why are igbos this forceful. Deltans say leave them alone and you are still trying to force yourselves.

Guy, you COMPLETELY misunderstood that scene. The lady who said, 'Ibo nine bu ofu (all Ibo are the same) was actually the one playing the role of a Delta woman.'

I have always read yoruba essays on things pertaining to igbos, and I have often red them with disillusionment why these brand of ethnic group are so haggard over igbo things, they go as extreme as using igbo names to stir the dust among igbos and they as well try to pervert the history about the igbos, linking some to bini etc. this sect of hate maniacs and division-mongers intrudes Into igbo smooth flow of intelligent conversations, turning the whole page to a thunderous argument battle field where both parties will finally leave with so much grudge against each other, yet they turn around to play victim card, asking why do igbos hate yoruba, but I had rarely seen igbos dabbling into yoruba affairs or creating a topic to disparage yoruba or avowing those who are yoruba and those who are not yoruba in the west. all these kinds of nonsensical trait from these yorubas stemmed from awolowo, they are replicating awolowo's lifestyles and personality. awolowo, the very man who died over igbo things. in short,this modern day yorubas can be best define as awoloworians.

Ymodulus,

Aint hard to tell. Some of the people of Delta are Igbos, like we have other tribes there too. No big deal about that, just like a State like kogi has some yorubas. I dont see how this should be an issue for an unbiased mind. Even the Igbos there know themselves though some might pretend not to be.

Aint hard to tell.

How much foolishness can you form? One of the best economy in Africa is a landlocked nation. What has landlocked or lack thereof got to do with nation state? Somali, arguably, has the longest coast line in Africa. It will be foolhardy to have the country in the same sentence with development.

Which economy are you referring to? You people have this silly habit of assuming that your far-fetched examples from around the world will apply to biafra automatically. Each country has its own peculiarities, which in this case does not apply to biafra. If by giving inapplicable example of war-torn Somalia you think you are making sense, sorry to bust your bubble, you are not!

All the Deltans I know in real life, even those who speak Igbo fluently, always insist they are not Igbo. There's a very old couple I know, the baba is in his seventies, he simply hates being called Igbo, yet he speaks the language.
