IGBOSON1:
Ndigbo should please ignore these vermin!

It's obvious he/they are quite scared about something.....every few weeks we get these 'we are not Igbo' threads and it makes one wonder what exactly is going on! When it comes to the north it's 'one north', and nobody (including Ndigbo) have a problem with that; when it comes to south west, Yoruba would tell us it's a homogeneous Yoruba enclave (including Lagos) and everyone (including Ndigbo) say no wahala and get on with their lives! But when it comes to the area formerly known as the old Eastern Region, you see outsiders getting agitated, worried and poking their long Pinocchio noses into what ordinarily shouldn't concern them! They get worried when Igbos and other ethnic groups in the region form a common front and a commonality of purpose, and then they go on to dig for and post divisive claptrap like we see in the OP; they get worried when any Igbo sub-groups like the Ikwerre, Ngwa, Ogba, etc, identify with the larger Igbo nation, and they then go on to sponsor a few elements within these sub-groups (like they did during and after the uncivil war of 1967-70) to scream that they're not Igbo.....all this happening while they tell us the area formerly known as the old Western Region is one homogeneous ethnic enclave!

It's obvious these people are scared of the resurgent Biafran agitation, and they're afraid they'll starve to death and see the death of all their ill-gotten criminal enterprises if Biafra is achieved.....hence the lame attempt at revisionism and the divide-and-rule we now see on here every couple of weeks!

Quite sad really!

emmydeep:

Yes, we make ourselves happy with our achievments. I have landed properties in lagos, ogun, abuja, ph, and kano.
How many do you have in Igboland? You see how foolish some Yorubas like you are?

emmydeep:

Useless Yoruba agbero claiming to be working with SHELL PETROLEUM .D. C portharcourt.

You are really insane.
You're deranged.

Leave THE ALMIGHTY IGBOS alone and face your pick pocket bussiness.

If you dnt know that ure a Yoruba then ure a bastardia nicompu.

As long my Ogwashi Uku/ Aniocha is not part of that Edo history trash; I don't give a f"uck..
Proudly Anioma, Proudly Delta Igbo.

emmydeep:

So stop complaining that we are super major stakeholders in where you call your place.

I want to buy your family house where they buried your father. Name your price.

Ugomba:
This is a pathetic attempt by Edos to rewrite history but it will fail miserably.
Maybe Efik, Ibibio people are also edos.

emmydeep:

You must be insane.
Go and check history.

No they are from yorubaland.
Hopeless un-repentant id.io.tic bas.t.ard that does not know history.

[size=18pt]Igbos have over 70% of the landed properties in Nigeria[/size] and thats a history you cant dispute nor distort.

Your hate for the Igbos will surely kill you.

An interesting piece I must say referring to the op but it has lots of inconsistencies.

I don't care what a group of people chose to call themselves or prefer to be addressed by but somethings don't add up here.

Akalaka means 'talent' or literally the marks/lines on the palm in Igbo.Let's assume this man came truly from bini. How could he name his son 'Ihruoha'? Meaning face of the community? Or Ihuoha as Igbos in the hinterland would pronounce it? Hasn't he got his own language?
How do you explain the similarity in language or names and meaning of the names. We are not talking about pre civil war Igbo influence here.

What was an Igbo interpreter doing at that time between the colonialists and the riverine indigenes? How come it was an Igbo man living very further from the seas that was interpreting what both parties were saying? It should have been the other way round.

Interestingly, the chorus or answer given by the indigenes was 'Ekwerulem'...meaning..we have agreed or simply yes. What's the Igbo word for..I agreed or I have agreed? Somebody help me here.

Do the indigenes not have their own language? What language was the ndoni people where bini man Akalaka landed speak?

it will kill your father first and your useless flàthead generation. Shut up and stop trying to rewrite other people's history.

spanishkid:
look at fool and bastard son of a thousand fathers. You think everyone is as wretched as you are. I can buy your village. Igbos are a cancer anywhere they are and I'll personally facilitate your exit. Bloody u cannibals.

It was a long read but worth it. There's just one thing that no one has been able to explain. The Ukwuanis,Ikas,Ikwere and Ekpeye all speak Igbo (or dialects of Igbo) as their ancestral language. Some people say it is because they have interacted with Igbos for a long time. The question that nobody ever seems to answer is, if the "SS Igbos", the Ukwuanis,the Ikas,the Ikweres,the Etche, the Ekpeye and Ahoada are not Igbos but descendants of the Bini Kingdom, why do they all have Igbo surnames? Why is it that these people don't speak Bini or have Bini surnames? Did the Igbos force them to change their names to Igbo? The Ikwere say they are a 'distinct' ethnic group. I was at an Ikwere persons funeral less than a month ago. Many Ikwere people picked up the microphone, introduced themselves, before talking about the person that died. Even though I'm an Anambra man, I understood 80 to 90% of what they all said and they all had Igbo surnames. So how can the Ikwere people be distinct when they speak a dialect of Igbo and have Igbo last names?

mulattoclaro:
everybody to them is yoruba. They're obsessed with that tribe. When you expose their lies they start ranting as usual. Foolish tribe

1shortblackboy:
if sombody says u guys are chest beaters I'll be one of the people to call dem out as tribal bigots but some of u igbos don't help matters at all. The thread is about ancestral origins and u bring up owning properties all over Nigeria. Who told u other people don't own properties all over Nigeria ? Is it because they don't make noise like some of u people?....SMH

Because the Yoruba have been their nemesis since 1967/68 and will continue to be.
Yorubaland is their Europe and America in Nigeria and like water to fish. Without the water the fish is finished.
But for their fear of the Yoruba siding with the north, they would've declared their biafra. Thats why they are fighting tooth and nail to herald the entire SS into their struggle.
They know yorubaland have millions of Black Scorpions to tame them should they step out of line.
Anyone anywhere in the world that says anything negative about Ibo must be Yoruba and if that person is non-black, he must've been sponsored by the Yoruba.
The Ibo tribe, from all indications, are yet to evolve from the 17th century tendencies.
