Claiming? You are a common hater.
You shd ask your fake school for a refund.
Port Harcourt is Ugwu Ocha. Does that sound like Fulani? Or Kanuri to you?
They are bonafide Igbos. Or you think they came out from the Atlantic Ocean?
Google it and learn. It is free I'm curious to know why they changed that name from Ugwu Ocha to Portharcourt though. 5 Likes |

Most so called tribes on the list are LGA, and also mostly dialects of a language imagine calling eket a tribe, etched. Also Itsekiri which is Yoruba.
There are no Igbo home to Delta state, how can you call three different ethnics with distinct traditions, cultures and different languages spoken from each other, let alone the igbos. You are an Ika man that want to cause trouble here ba? Itshekiris have said they are only related to Yorubas but NOT YORUBA. Please respect that! 2 Likes |
