This is an igbo General but the igbos wont agree because he is from delta state

he is not Igbo but ika.

I wish Lucky Irabor. was promoted to a 5 star general so he can take over from Baba lifeless

garfield1:


Just want to prove to that fellow that irabor is igbo...

Oh I see....He is an Ipob ignorant man but all same Irabor is not.

thebosstrevor1:

Delta is not Igbo.

NORSYK:


You always talking out of sense

How is he talking out of sense. Many igbos answer names like Oseloka i have seen an igbo man answering Irabor i have also seen Erabor as an igbo name.

blaqoracle:
he is not Igbo but ika.

Ika is an igbo sub group. Why are you people being this daft

Juliusmalema:


If he like let him come from Congo or Panya, Nobody gives a hoot...or exist from Igbodo, he is not an Igbo man...

So lucky is now an Igbo name

Don't be stupid so Lucky is an Ijaw name, or a Yoruba Name?

obynzo:

Yawns..
Go and play

Generals without war

May we all reach the pinnacle of our career. Congratulations to them.

Congratulations my General!

Lucky
Eluonye
Onyenuchea
Irabor

If u say that that a man that Bears Eluonye Onyenuchea is not Igbo. Who then is an Igbo man ?

So, instead of all these tedious analysis, why not just appoint an Ibo man whose tribe isn't in dispute?

Rugaria:


Whether his surname is Irabor or gidgiddy is not the issue. If he says he's igbo and comes from igboland irrespective of zones, he IS DEFINITELY igbo! If he says he's not, then he's not! We have to keep it like this in order to play safe! Two funny looking brats named Chubuike Amaechi and Nyesomghosa Wikevie are from the same ancestral family in ObiaAkpor LGA of Rivers State. One said he is igbo, (though we still remember his infamous outburst;"are we Biafrans"?), The other says he walked down to Port Harcourt from the ancient Benin kingdom while in a trance! The same family, two different takes!
It's confusing, but we will still find ways to pick the grains and leave the chaffs for the convulsing zoo...

There's nothing wrong in promoting service chiefs but Baba lifeless should first of all promote himself....

You can add to those 150 barren cows in daura, that way, you're promoting yourself.


Congratulations to the service chiefs.

at least he has reached where non of your family members (dead or alive) will ever reach.

Christistruth00:


There are even Igbos with Yoruba sounding names eg Ogunewe , Okpaleke, Jide,,Okeigbo

I tell you

gidgiddy:


So if I say Im German, I automatically become German? Surname is the main indicator of someones tribe and Irabor is an Edo surname, not an Igbo surname.

Besides, he is from Agbor that has border with Edo state. You dont need to be told that his father or Grandfather was an Edo settler in Agbor

so anybody that doesn't have igbo surname is automatically not igbo abi? Anyim Pius is not an igbo man abi?

NORSYK:

His position is a mere ceremonial

Keep deceiving yourself

obynzo:


Ika is an igbo sub group. Why are you people being this daft

Please, what is their dialect when speaking to each other? Is it Igbo or the Ikas have a different dialect from the Igbo dialect?

The fact that you have a problem with where he’s from is the reason why we are where we are in this country. Where tribesmen would rather have their brother there who doesn’t deserve a position than merit. This is some BS going on with your mindset. How about Nigerians being elected to government offices overseas? What should happen to them? Black man wants equality but can’t offer it.

It's is easier for a camel to pass through a needle eye to to see this happening

Congratulations to all the service Chiefs.
God bless Nigeria

My surname is always seen as Yoruba but am not from Yoruba, the spelling too is spelt like a Yoruba name but am not from yoruba not even any of the southwest states.
Many Yoruba people has mistaken my surname as a yoruba person but am from south south

gidgiddy:


Not because he is from Delta state, it is not state that determines tribe, it is surname. No Igbo man has "Irabor" as surname. Irabor is an Edo man with an Edo surname and he comes from Agbor, that has border with Edo state as well as an Edo minority

Is it your state of origin that determines your ethnicity?


Hon. Nduka Irabor, a journalist of International repute, was born on December 9, 1958 . He hails from Ika in Delta State of Nigeria.

According to Wikipedia,

The Ika people are a subgroup of Igbo people located in Ika South and Ika North East Local Government of Delta State as well as part of Orhionmwon Local Government Area of Edo State. Ika people have a unique language and culture being a sub-set of the Igboid people. The Ika people primary make up the communities of Agbor, Owa (Agbor and Owa being the major Ika speaking place), Umunede/Umuede, Owerre Olubor, Ekuoma, Emuhu, Mbiri, Abavo, Orogodo, Otolokpo, Igbodo, Ute-Okpu, Ute-Ogbeje, Idumuesah, Akumazi, Ekpon (Edo State), Igbanke/Igbon Akiri (Edo State), Oligie (Edo State), Inyelen (Edo State), Iru (Edo State). Other Ika communities found in Edo State are Owanikeke, Ute Oheze, Ute Obagie N’Oheze, Owa-Riuzor Idu and Igbogili.

Okonjo Iweala is from Delta State .But because it is not Buhari"s that appointed her to lead WTO,she is Igbo abi?

You know nothing about Agbor people.

Don't mind them. If another body had made him general they will shout Igbo while if Buhari appoints him they will tag him Deltan. Yet they will still say delta isn't a tribe.

NORSYK:
He was double promoted and skipped the rank of Lieutenant General.
His position is a mere ceremonial

It is not always that someone must go from Major General to Lieutenant General.

You can go from Major General to either Lieutenant General or General.

It is acceptable in the military.

u are wrong

Is this Buhari or Jubril?

thebosstrevor1:
This is an igbo General but the igbos wont agree because he is from delta state

they didn't deny him. they said they want a service chief from SE

Good for him
The record must be set straight, he is not an igbo man Qed.
Igbo people are no longer interested in the so called abrakadabra they are doing there in the villa

Did leo Irabor say he is Igbo?

Daum:
Agbor people
You people have a 4 star General now...
You guys are flexing sha

You now have a university also.


Also the little birds in the air whispered to me that the chief of Naval staff is from somewhere in the south south.....hehehehe

How does having a four star general from agbor & a university make d people of agbor flex?
