What does the rejection across Igboid groups in Delta and Rivers tell you...It simply says something is wrong with being Igbo.

Tell your people to work on themselves.

Are you implying that the rejection is as a result of something being wrong with the Igbo tag or simply because you have never been Igbo. You seem to be exposing yourself without knowing it.

the only thing wrong with being Igbo is creativity.in a fools paradise a wise man is seen as a fool

it exposes their mindset...a case of pick and choose Igbo when it is convenient and drop it if their is a problem..suprised most people cant see this

just shut up. Its only lost souls souls like you who talk of rejection. There are proud Igbo in Rivers as well as delta. I am from anioma and I'm proudly igbo. Just carry your madness out of this thread

mactoni91:

ur opinion tho

you are very silly! Aniomas are 100% IGBOS.. Get that into your shallow empty brain..

The issue here is simple. Sincerely we Igbos shouldn't bother ourself about anioma or whatever they call theirselves cos they add nothing to us or remove anything from us. I have Co-habited with them and I have stay in anioma land ad they call it and I can authoritatively tell u that even the name anioma is a fluke cos an ika man can nvr take an ukwuani man as his brother likewise the rest of them. They are just confused of their identity. It's better they don't claim igbo cos they brought the 1st misfortune to the Igbos. Igbos were doing extremely well before the so called aniomas did the 1st Nigerian coup. How I wished major general aguiyi Ironsi killed nzeogu and denied that they were Igbos maybe the whole of the so called animal land would hv been wiped out from Nigeria by the blood thirsty hausa soldiers cos it was even their son that killed the sarduna of sokoto and not an igbo man.

My apologies to the true Igbos of delta state who don't deny the identity. It's absurd hearing some of them claiming that they have no historic link with Igbos as if the other rest of Igbos shares common history. I have travelled all the length and breath of Southeast and I can even say it was easy for me to understand ukwuani and ika language than understand ezza, nsukka, ngwa, arochukwu, npkollo, some deep imo languages etc. They don't even know that in ebonyi state close to obubra in cross river state, some Igbos there speak sometime very close to efik language and yet u never see them deny that they are Igbos. I don't want to talk much over this cos I see this their behaviour as an anomaly. We should ignore them and focus on how to develop our land to higher ground. Which we are currently doing. Moreover my girlfriends are all from anioma and they identify themselves as Igbos.

phyllosilicate:


I once saw some people speaking in benin, at first I thought they were speaking benin, later it seems they turned to igbo, then again benin. Which part of Anioma are they?

I think those are from one of the Ika LGAs.. I have a friend from one town (Oza) they speak like that

pazienza:


The Igbos were doing quite well before " Anioma coup".

Nothing is wrong with being Igbo. We built Igbo nation to a strong unit from the scratch, many Igbo speaking glory hunters joined to enjoy the Igbo grace when the going was good, and they subsequently destroyed our grace with their stupidity, now we are back in 're building process, and the glory hunters haven destroyed the house want to hop off.

Or are you saying that we should have denied Anioma in 1966, sacrifice their misguided sons to the angry Hausa -Fulanis, and disassociate ourselves from their coup, just to retain power?

That's against the " onye aghala nwanne ya spirit" upon which the Igbo nation was built.

I quoted only you and got 4mentions..ive been reading every comment and my quoting you was because i like discussing with you.

Im an Ikwerre guy who aside politics know deep down that Igbo is very close, both in culture (Ome n'ali) and language(Onu Ikwerre).

And the study of language forms, patterns and structure, the study of ones culture, traditions and customs shows a close relationship

Now, you are birthed by a man and he says to you, child you are Ikwerre, there are people called Igbos.Igbos are called Isoma in our language.they are not one of us..they are found in XYZ areas and we are found in ABC...You noticed the same sentiments are shared by ur Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, entire community..and a very very large section of ur Nationality..You grow with this awareness into adulthood.

I'm asking what is the wrong with Igbo people that one cannot accept being them..or dont you think the Igbos are unnecessarily drawing attention to themselves by claiming a people who arent interested in being brothers..

Apologies to Op and anioma people for asking this on their thread.

how can u bear Uche nnamdi you say you are not Igbo

how can you bear tony martins yet claim not Christian


how can you bear funke adewale yet claim not Yoruba


men I tire for people

Anioma people were proudly Igbo when the going was good for the Igbo nation in Nigeria.They were Igbo culturally,politically as their leaders were among the fouding fathers of then powerful Igbo state union and they used their close relationship with Ndigbo to dominate newly created Midwest region.

It was the same Anioma vagabond sons that brought calamity to the Igbo nation and made us to lose our enviable position in scheme of things in Nigeria and today those bastards won't let us rest with their noises of we are not Igbo.
Let it be known that a friend or brother that denies you in time of trouble is not worth losing sleep for him,I mean they can go to hell for all I care.I will never waste my previous time to indulge in convincing one iddiot to accept being Igbo.so far they have brought nothing to Igbo nation than pain and war.

As we are struggling to stand on our feet once again,one thing we do not need is distraction from ungrateful opportunist that can never be trusted.
My apologies and sincere regards to HRH Obi of Asaba and other true sons of Anioma.

Nobody is claiming Ikwerre is Igbo. You don't qualify. Una never reach. Na beans!

Now go and sleep.

may ur lies neva lead u to hell. If my name is Adetutu does that mean am a yoruba? Who are the Aniomas then if i may ask?

The Aniomas are fulanis.

^lol dont mind the anuofia.

That a minute inherently foolish people chose to live with a thinking anomaly does not mean the 'whole' share their faulty thought process. I for one, am a proud Igbo girl from ogwashi-ukwu. I also know 1Naira6, ikechu1278, fr3do here on naira land to be proud igbos from Anioma. Please you people should not conclude erroneously because of a few efulefus from Anioma, cos even in SE there are people who behave like efulefus, how much more.

OP, I just noticed where you said you were from Oshimili. Out of curiosity, which of the Oshimili towns?

omololu2020:
y do ibos from d south east do carry aniomas and ikwerre are ibos issue on dia head?

We are all Igbos, thats why.

The Op like all my Anioma brothers and sisters claiming they are not Igbos are politically naive.

These persons so as to avoid political persecution meted on anybody considered Igbo after the war (that our very own Nzeogwu could be said to have indirectly caused) chose to declare themselves non-igbo but this move hasn't given the expected outcome, as the Asagba of Asaba pointed out in a speech he made some time ago.
For example, when Peter Odili who chooses to call himself a Rivers man wanted to run for president given the calls for a SS president, Chief Edwin Clark complained that Peter Odili is an Igbo man and a south south president must be a true 'south southerner'.

This politically motivated 'Aniomas, Ikwerres, Ndonis e.t.c are not Igbos' mumbo jumbo is weakening we Igbos as a whole politically, making us prey to corrosive interests of more united rival ethnic groups.

A nairalander wrote that as at the early 19th century, Ekiti people did not consider themselves Yoruba, but that has changed because it was politically convenient, the Kanuris and Hausa-fulanis also merged to this efficient political (but economically unviable) arrangement, North.

Tell me what makes a man from present day Imo state Igbo and not you an Ikwerre man.

People wrongfully use 'South east' interchangeably with 'Igbo'.
The Ikwerre man is not from the South East.

You are displaying the same divisive sentiments you condemn.
Some Aniomas forsook the South East not Ndigbo.
Do not limit Ndigbo to the South East geographical impression.

The OP bastard is nothing but a division agent. I just went through his post, the bastard lives in river state, also a lot of his post politics is on river state, never delta, in addition he opened this thread few years ago, note his choice of words "delta Igbo"
https://www.nairaland.com/1218643/why-anioma-state-must-created#14654588
He is here talking about anioma are not Igbo. Don't mind the foolish op. He saw the increased unity between SE and anioma and he is here to do what they do best, create a division. I doubt he's even from anioma.

Where in my post did I limit Ndigbo to the SE?
You are wrong rather many aniomas deny being Igbo and anything to do with Igbo post civil war.
They never were in south east so how can they forsake a region they never belongs to.

mactoni91:

here's the mistake most people make.
The Aniomas are united irrespective of their distinct languages.
I am from Oshimilli and as such see an ika as my bro.
Wats d fuss abt ika or ukwuani carring the whole Anioma on their head?
Anioma is 1
Enuani is our language

Dude you're not anioma. You're a worthless wannabe. You're oshmili trying to create division? Oshmili really? Nigg@ get the f2k out of here.

Anytime an attache by force rush in to cause division, SE Igbo hook it in and start ranting and insulting anioma. Smh. Continue

mactoni91:

the olukumis speak yoruba-like language and i see dem as my bro.
No sentiments

Give away. It's a well known fact the olukumis do not see themselves as Yoruba, they address their migration from there but never see or call themselves a yoruba. I know way too many people from there to count and till date, not one, emphasis on ONE have ever once called themselves Yoruba. In fact some took offense when I started calling them so as a joke. Out of all the celebrities we know from there, name one, just ONE, that claim there ethnic group is Yoruba. Name one

A pathetic attache by force. If you are truly anioma, you would have known this.

omololu2020:
we hav yorubas in anioma

No you f2king don't. Stop with the attache by force. There are no Yoruba's in aniomaland. Olukumis migrated from Yoruba land but in this day of age they are not yoruba and would quickly and loudly tell you that if you address them as such.

Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna (1935– 25 September 1967)
An Igbo from Onitsha, he was a science graduate University College of Ibadan and became involved in politics, later joining the military. He
rose to the position of Major and
was a conspirator and participant in
the failed 1966 Nigerian coup d'état. He later returned to action in the Nigerian Civil War, fighting for Biafra, but was executed following a plot to agree a ceasefire with Nigeria and
overthrow Emeka Ojukwu.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Ifeajuna

More give away.

This idiot does not even know Onitsha is part of aniomaland.

Dude be proud of your heritage. You are just f2king disgusting as far as I can see. I will not doubt if you are Yoruba. After all you were looking for a jamb result for a Solomon aramide few years ago. Pathetic motherfucker

pazienza:


It will, once we replicate their denial, by denying them too.

We become more vocal about denying them, and threaten fire and brimstone should anyone refer to Anioma people and their coup as Igbos.

The other day, Anioma people organized an event in Asaba where they were denying their Igbo identity, they claimed Zik was an Anioma son too, and they are right,for Onitsha was Anioma town before they lost the Ekumeku war. Butt they dont know the implications of what they are doing.

The Igbo stigma they are trying to run away from was brought into the Igbo nation by them.

Remove Zik, Ifeajuna, Nzeogwu all Anioma sons from the Igbo history, tell me what other negatives is remaining?


The Aniomas through Zik built up the Igbo nation, and through Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna, brought about its weakness, they can run, but they can't hide.
We( the rest of the Igbo nation) has been bearing the Anioma burden, but if this is how they intend to pay us back, maybe it's time we tell the world the truth.

You are really pathetic and just as devilish as the yoruba that lie as of their life depends on it. You are wicked as f2k. Continue. We are watching. Worthless monkies

Nwanne m calm down!my post and anger was not for people like you.
I believed been nice to those deniers encourage them to insult sensibilities of Ndigbo and they have to be put where they belong.
If you observe I have always opposed other igbos from engaging those attention seeking non entities.cheers.

Igbophobia reigns supreme in Anioma land. This is a fact I had always wanted to shy away from. The commoners in Anioma are Igbophobic, the elites are Igbotic probably because they understand the strength of numbers and Igbo population.

Visit Anioma Facebook pages, too many Igbophobic comments there, especially from Ika and Ukwuani axis, and some from Aniocha/ Oshimili axis.

They are the cause of the Igbo nation Fall from Grace to grass, their irrational sons I had listed above brought the rot, yet they are blind to see that because we took the blame for them. We allowed an Anioma coup to become tagged Igbo coup. Maybe it's about time we 're visit that part of history.

Likewise you see anti Igbo comments in Onitsha Facebook page but you fools still love them and proud of them. Just come OFF it. The anti Igbo comments is not as high as you call it but once again, you are SE Igbo. mangifying things so you can continue insulting anioma. Go f2king ahead and deny anioma. Who cares anymore. You SE igbos refuse to heed word, you refuse to accept denier are in minority because Una truly want to have a reason to f2king hate. Just continue. With each passing day I'm starting to see Una true colors as well
