Just like the Igbos in Anambra are "oppressing" the Igala/kogi part in the state, so these ones are also taking it out on the Igbo minority in the state.
This life sha.

ofiafuluego:

mumu,which oppression are you talking about, I knw u want to derail dis thread. sry ur plan cannot work.

Sealeddeal:
Igbos iN Anambra do not oppress Igala people and there is no Kogi part of anambra state.

IGBOSON1:


^^^Not so fast bros!.....Just throw a couple of oyel wells into the mix and see how fast the narrative changes!

JosephAchuzie:

Do you understand English out all?

jumu:
they dont apreciate there land all igbos are osu

cindelite:


Jim ovia is not igbo he's from edo state elemelu and ojei are not igbos either they are delta, they are like stephen keshi, they might have igboid names but that don't make them igbo and they don't see themselves as igbo either

oboy3:
imbe,did you read the article before you enter here to insult yourself,they are indigenes of benue state meaning they come from benue not migrants or whatever

Abagworo:


Nwanne you hit the nail on the head. Even non-Igbos would have helped point out the differences. What if this was Ikwerre and Etche saying they want to reunite with their kins of Ohaji, Ngor and Owerri? It would have gotten to 100 pages of different definitions of language and ethnicity.

OkijaAmaka:
Lol, educating a yo-robberman or yo-robber woman is like buying a Jacuzzi for a Pig.

I gave up on them when one made this comment below and got many likes from his ofe brothers and sisters.

cjrane:


Exact bro. If there were oil or any economic resource in that area, see how fast they will change their names and sing the popular line "we are not Igbos ooo!"

ASL33:
But you are part of the group that always remind the igbos that ikwerre and others are not igbo.

HNosegbe:


Does this theory also apply to Igbos in Delta State who deny their heritage?

pazienza:


The Ukwuanis? Yes as they are the only part of Anioma with substantial crude oil deposit. I have heard some of them make this point obvious. And they equally have this false sense of royal splendour, courtsey of Bini connection.

The Aniocha/Oshimili are proud Igbos.

The Igbodos and Ekwuoma in Ika are proud Igbos, but for the rest of Ika, it's really hard to decipher what really is wrong with them, but i think it's the false sense of royal splendour, courtsey of the way Europeans exalted Bini,and the Agbors/Owas attachment to Bini, that is the driving force of the Igbo identity crisis in Owa/Agbor area, the Biafran war made it easier for them, as the Igbo nation in post war Nigeria lost all her immediate colonial and precolonial splendour, they simply saw no gain in identifying with the Igbo nation, not when she had become the laughing stock and punching bag of the West-North gang up, they were simply abandoning a sinking boat.

thanks for that

Stop talking trash. There is no where in that thread where the Igalas were complaining of being marginalized via distrubution of infrastructures and development.

They only complained of the lack of promotion of the Igala language,which many Igbo posters there pointed out was because of the bi ethnic and bilingual nature of the towns,Igallas are found in,in Anambra state.

You would do well to stop misleading people.

On the case of the Igbo communities in Benue. Like some one once pointed out the first time this article hit NL front page, i am sure that if those communities were in Rivers state,and were oil rich, they wouldn't be fighting hard to reconnect to the rest of the Igbo nation in the SE,they would have formed a new ethnic group by now,and Bini migration histories would be made up to support it, while they label the rest of us in SE as land grabbers and parasites,should we dare to try to reconnect to them.

But now, they have nothing,and so,are not blinded by greed, they can clearly see how good and pleasant it would be, for Brothers( Ndiigbo) to dwell together( in the same region) in unity.


Even if Ebonyi is not oil rich,and wont have much to offer them,but being a part of Ebonyi,would give them a sense of belonging. Ohaneze and other Igbo pressure groups should look into their plight, in the spirit of " Onye aghana nwanne ya".
