How sure are you that the person you are referring to is igbo? And where did you conduct your research to come to the conclusion that such attitude is widespread in igboland?

IN WHAT WAY ARE THEY IBO?

Make I help una small,yes Lucky Irabor ancestors came from benin,but he(lucky) is not from the three recent benin migrant communities that is (Alisor, Alilehan and Ozanogogo villages) in agbor clan.Lucky Irabor is from Aliokpu in agbor,the ika people with benin ancestory in that community came long time ago.
Okowa is not from agbor,he is from owa.
We ikas have up to seven dialects and as an owa person,I speak the owa dialect but I understand the rest dialects of other clans.Igbodo clan alone have two dialects an enu-ani dialect spoken by enuani migrants who were accomodated in Igbodo and the real Ika dialect of Igbodo spoken by the aboriginals of Igbodo.
Ekpon clan also have two language,the first dialect is the original ika dialect of ekpon,then the second is esan language which they learnt due to closeness and trading with esan people,that is why ekpon seem bilingual but they know their true Ika identity.
As for stella oduah-ogiemwonyi ,she was once married to a benin man called Engr. Chris ogiemwonyi.

blamingthedevil:
Chief of Naval Staff is from Kano State

We need the next IG of police to be an Ika man,In the person of AIG David Igbodo,an Ika man from otolokpo clan. Buhari abeg do this for us.

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...

the last time I checked,Rotimi Amechi is from ubima,ikwerre local government area....correct yiurself now.

And for Sunday Oliseh,he is original an ndokwa by tribe,But his many years of mixing with ikas in agbor,If he claim ika,we will accept him?

Igboid:


You as ignorant as an average Ikwerre man. You lots are usually local and hardly travel.

Okonjo Iweala is from Ogwashi-uku. Ogwashi-uku is actually Ogwanshi-ukwu. Nshi is Nri.
The founder of Ogwashi-uku was an Nri prince called Adaigbo who was banished from Nri Kingdom by his father the Eze Nri for sleeping with one of his father's youngest wives. He left the palace with his younger brother who loved him and always followed him around. The Younger brother founded Akwukwu-Igbo, while Adaigbo founded Ogwashi-uku by uniting the Proto Igbo people who had always inhabited the land into a kingdom.
So Ogwashi-uku people have always been proud of their Nri and by extension Igbo origin. They are not part of the "We came from Bini" madness.
The Obi of Ogwashi-uku who was Okonjo Iweala father fought for Biafra as a military officer while Iweala cooked for the Biafran Army.

She comes from a deep rooted and uncompromising Igbo root.
Of course she is Anioma as well as Igbo, just as I'm Idemili and Igbo , just as Jim Nwobodo is first of all an Nkanu and then Igbo, just as Abaribe is Ngwa first before Igbo.
Igbo is a nation made of tribes and Enu-ani( Okonjo Iweala tribe) is one of the many tribes that make up the Igbo nation.

We have other Igbo ladies doing us proud as well. We have Arumma Oteh working at world bank, we have Chioma Ajunwa who won Olympic gold medal, we have Perpetual Nkwocha, Nigerian most decorated female footballer and multiple time winner of CAF women footballer of the year and AFCON golden boot awards.
We have Chimamanda Adichie.

Your non achieving Bini ethnic group has none. The most popular Ikwerre Lady is a high class Ashawo called Toton Dike , who Igbo movie makers gave her fame.

This was how a certain Ikwerre criminal called Orji went to Ghana and committed crime which put the Igbo community there in trouble because it was assumed an Orji is an Igbo.
Go to Rivers state all your youths are lazy and lacking in innovation. All of them are cultists killing each other in the villages and making life unbearable for their aged parents.

You should be ashamed of yourselves. Never have Ikwerre produced a single high flyer in the international Arena, none.

Just curious, where was the great writer Elechi Amadi from?

Irabor pls don't mind these developers and their trouble.

Abacha is not the only person to become a 4-star general without skipping a rank. He was the first, but he is not the only person.

Who else?

Tingotoe:
Who else?

Admiral Ibrahim Ogohi. General Alexander Ogomudia, General Martin-Luther Agwai, General Andrew Owoeye Azazi, Air Chief Marshal Paul Dike, Air Chief Marshal Oluseyi Petinrin, Admiral Ola Saad Ibrahim and Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh. Domkat Bali and Augustus Aikhomu also didn't skip any rank, but they were promoted to the ranks of 4-star general and admiral after they retired.

what of Herbert Wigwe ,Emmanuel Onunwor (first African-born Black mayor in the United States)and Elechi Amadi , are these not Ikwerre people , put down your points without insults .

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

I am not surprised, if you can claim Jewish, -the same Jews that have long denounced igbo- who else will you not claim.

eka is not Igbo,get that into your head. When you through the jamb brochure, under courses, you will come across ekah language.

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

This nonsensical attitude only happens in the south. How can u reject somebody because of nonsense surname imposed on us by whites?
I've never seen Northerners complaining of any appointment irrespective of the zone it's from out of the 3 zones in the region!
