Can you imagine. When Wike said he is not igbo, they want to cut his head.

Correct analysis. In fact, Igbanke is Edoid but Ika speaking area of Edo State. Late Brig Gen (rtd) Samuel Ogbemudia ancestry is from Igbanke. There are quite numbers of people in Ika that trace their ancestry to the Binis hence the name Irabor.


Anywhere there is boundary between one one ethnic group and another that speak different languages, there is bound to be a bit of ethnic confusion. Agbor where Irabor comes from is one such place, it has boundary with Edo state. Over a span of many many years, many Edo's have settled in Agbor and started calling themselves Ika. So not all Ika's are Igboids, there is a minority that are edoids. One example is Osunbor, a popular actor on Ika tv. His grandfather settled in Agbor, his father was born there same as him. But in an Interview, he said he is Ika with Edoid ancestry as he can never deny his surname Osunbor which is well known Bini name. Is it this kind of person you will say is Igbo because he is Ika?

The point Im trying to make is that not all Ika's are Igboid, there is a minority that is Edoid and that is where Irabor falls into. Your surname tells your ancestry.

You may be surprised to know that Idoko, depending on the intonation used, means something in Igbo. I know someone who has that as a traditional title from Okoh in Anambra. However, Irabor means nothing in Igbo, it is an Edo/Bini surname.

oyebanji44:
from Edo state. That name originated from Benin people.

Is Leo Irabor the new CDS no longer Igbo or is it only when we need Biafra that we add his hometown to Igbo nation

gidgiddy:


Theres no Igbo man with the surname Irabor. Being Biafran is not the same as being Igbo, they are two different things

KosiGee:


You lack intelligence.

IPOB and Kanu don’t want anything to do with Nigeria. Are all Igbos members of IPOB or supporters of Kanu?

Is Rochas Okorocha, Ekweremadu, Iwuanyanwu, Nnamani all against Igbos getting federal appointments? Are these people supporting secession as championed by Kanu?

This is where people like you and Buhari are getting it wrong. Anytime the patriotic and Nigeria supporting Igbos query appointments, you lot will adopt silly excuses to rub your hatred and nepotism in their faces.

Which Igbos said they didn’t want appointments? Is it wrong for Igbos to demand fairness and justice?

We run a federal system of government. The group that made the request to the presidency didn’t beg. Reminding and making a request is different from your portrayal or mischievous use of term ‘begging’.

It’s in the spirit of equity that such demand was tabled. You can give it any colouration or understanding but Buhari and his kinsmen’s time there won’t last forever.

With this type of comment, the people of Agbor and indeed Ika will hold tight to their distinct identity. If being Igbo is by name, then those nsukka people who bear Idoko are not Igbos too, right?

slimderek:

Under the current Nigerian system, Ika is in the south south. The Igbos are from the south east.
Was any south easterner appointed as the service chiefs?

it would have been better for them to beg sudan to compare their son jubril to consider an igbo man for IGP

loopman:


But you people don’t fail to tell us that Igbos are not restricted to the SE but also found in some part of SS.

Nnamdi Kanu will always tell us that he will not leave behind any igbo man cut off by geographical boundary in his biafra

ubola:
We igbos discriminate a lot that's why we may not be able to achieve anything politically. With the way we are going, then Chibuike Amaechi should be considered for Presidency since that's an igbo name. Our igbo leaders are our problems not Buhari.
