Abeg make Una free Oliseh. It is a free world and a man can choose to identify himself in whichever way he wishes.

Betrayal; Eyes On Money All because of affulence and money, u betrayed US Diaris God ooooo Maka Ihi Ego Uwa

I didn't expect less from an ignorant fellow. Who don't know we don't call ourselves yoruba. Benin was the capital of Bendel and there are many deltans still living in Benin. I quoted you what can you do? I an no yoruba, if you do any how?

I think a plebiscite will resolve all the identity crises rocking nigeria, it is becoming more expedient every day.

LOL. Who cares? Igbos are proud of themselves. It's only a coward that will denounce his/her tribe.

asha80:
who are nairaland igbos?are you generalizing?do you know the number of igbos on this website?...you really to cool and log off nairaland since as you earlier said your entry to nairaland has turn you

Give her a break. She lost the Miss Nairaland pageant owing to the doing of the Igbo organizers. She has the right to vent her anger in anyway possible.

I really don't know which group is most annoying. Those that disclaim being Igbo like Oliseh, the other Nigerians that spur them on or Igbos who can't wakeup to the reality that there are Igboid people who will always dissociate themselves with being identified as Igbo especially if the person is from the Ika and Ukwuani axis of Delta state. It's a reality that some Igbos have just refused to accept. Oliseh says he is not Igbo and he is right because he said s. Whether he was bribed or said it because of oil or the civil war is immaterial. If someone is Igbo the person should be proud to wear it like a crown.

But Can his denials negate the fact that we igbos are the most favord tribe by the God in this awkward combination called nigeria.

Ogochukwu Oliseh, change ur name first. Ofeman.u ppl r confused. Delta is nt igbo, but deltan killed Ahmadu Bello and they said igbos killed him. Inconsistent f.ools

phyllosilicate:
true there are some Deltan Igbos that agree they are Igbos, but the majority don't agree. The area I grew up in Benin, had many delta Igbos.

The few times that I have read your comments especially on the Igbo issue, I can see that you are one who uses logic. It's not safe to say most Delta Igbos deny being Igbo. It is safe to say that people from the Ika and Ukwuani axis are the ones who majorly deny being Igbo but not people from Aniocha and Oshimili. Okocha for instance will not come and tell you that he is not Igbo but Sunday Oliseh can do that and they are both from Delta state.

Thanks for confirming this. I think this solves all controversy concerning the argument.

Why I hold my view,it because I grew up with them, I attended schools with them till university. Uniben catchment areas consist mainly of Delta and Edo state. If they see an igbo man, they would claim igbo. But if a non Igbo call them Igbo, they would start explaining how they are not Igbos.

I'm not disputing this fact but it will help to state exactly where in Delta state these people are from. Very unlikely that they are closer to Onitsha. I am someone who looks at issues from a logical perspective. I won't argue for instance if you tell me that majority of Ikwerre people dissociate themselves with the Igbo tag but when you look at groups like Etche, despite also having anti Igbo elements, they are not as hostile when referred to as Igbos. In the same way those Igboid groups in Delta state are different. Forget the Anioma tag and analyse them seperately.

that is why i am suprised at the comments of suprises i see here...it is like expecting delta governor to say he is igbo or expecting don jazzy to say he is not igbo when both are seen as delta igbos...it is difficult seeing anyone from ika or ukwuani admitting he is igbo

The Igbo speaking Deltans would not accept to be called Igbos because the Igbos don't have much political value amongs the 3 major stake holder tribes in Nigeria occassioned by the conspiracy against them as a result of the civil war,that even made a minority to become a president of Nigeria.I don't blame the Delta speaking Igbos for their stand but I believe there is a need for them to study their history properly, but what I'm sure of is that in the land of the rising sun, the sun will surely rise again and there will be boom again and everyone will want to associate . #ProudlyIgbo

Oh my days!!!!

What happened to you? I have followed your transition since the Miss Nairaland days and your hate for Igbos has grown faster than Usain Bolt and its I'm very sure that pageant was the catalyst. It's very hard to believe that some from the Akwa- Cross axis will hate Igbos with such audacity. Did you get married to someone from outside the old Eastern region? What exactly happened.

Whatever that means between 0:35 - 0:40 I am sure he will regret or clarify. The anu-ohia who gave him that job may have told him to make that statement but he has opened himself to more scrutiny. People should learn to stay away from answering questions they are not asked. Did anybody ask him whether he is igbo or not? Personally, it doesn't make any difference whether he is igbo or not because I don't like him.

@ poster thanks for this as I have checked the Ted ex videos and there are lots of successful igbos who have done great presentations on the site, there is this ikenna Azuike I just listened to Nwuneli Ndidi, chioma Omeruah etc

Stupid ika man, his name is Ogochukwu

Because oliseh is not an igbo person. Is every person whose name is Robert from britain.

People some time pick their children name . rotimi amaechi is not a yoruba person, he is igbo. But his parent decided to given the name rotimi after a famous lawyer.


When buhari became head of state as a milttary person. Many people have their children buhari.

When you check the names of other people who bear buhari on the Internet

bro, I don't know about ikwere or etche. The Ikas ans ukuale hardly claim igbos. But even the aniochas and the Asaba that claim igbos usually deny it when they meet non Igbos. Ask the an Urhobo person what I have just said.
This is not exclusive to them. When I was serving in Abia, a yoruba corper told he met a woman that said she is from the yoruba speaking part of Edo state. I told him there is nothing like that, and he was arguing with me. I met this woman she is from Akoko Edo. Some of them tell yorubas they are yorubas but if they meet us, they would deny yorubas.

Afam4eva:

Because that kind of statement is uncalled for at this time, especially when nobody asked him. Anyone who think that our union is not fragile is out of touch with reality. People should reason with their heads and not with their behind.

Pls what does this character take me for?
Because of an online pageant with zero benefits? Like seriously! Pls stop insulting me. I believe you saw my pictures during the pageant did I in anyway look like someone that is starved of compliments?? That you spend 24/7 on NL does not mean I do. I have a life outside here where I get compliments and endorsements from real life men with real benefits to give me. Now will you.....?

He has opened a can of worms.This statement will forever hunt him.

Someone said he's not Igbo and he's been attacked. Can you blame Sunday Oliseh for denying being Igbo?


I am yet to see any Igbo speaking Deltan admitting they are Igbos.

FOLYKAZE:
He is a Nigerian.

He is a Nigerian! But whenever people from same place commit a crime you people will tag him igbo! when Nzeogwu carried out coup, it was tagged igbo coup, yet 80% of those coup plotters were from that axis. I have met some of them, they tend to claim igbo when it suits them! I'm sure most igbo people around the glass house would be disappointed in him. The NFF will now pounce on him whenever they wish!
I'm not angry about his association, but whenever they commit anything they are termed igbo. These fools here will not come and clarify where he/she comes from.
I remember one girl in project fame, her name is Chinyere, Uncle Ben asked to sing any igbo song, she said she can not. and when asked why she said she is not igbo! very violently, and uncle Ben told her, but your name is Chinyere she said "I'm Ika" I laughed at her because she was the only igbo girl left, and she has lost many fans, that would have voted for her during her eviction showdown. Most of them claim igbo whenever it suits them!

In fact, you are right. My point is simple. The Ikas and Ukwuani will tell both an Igbo or non Igbo that they are not Igbo. The Aniocha and Oshimili on the other hand know that they are Igbo and have no qualms with being called Igbo even though they may not carry the Igbo matter on their head like someone from Anambra for example. I have also experienced a situation whereby my Okpanam brother that we have our Igbo chit chat once in a while when in the presence of some ignorant Non Igbos was asked "How come you are the member of a South South group and still Igbo". I tried to help him answer the question by telling these people that there are in indeed Igbo people in Delta state only to be dazed by his response. He said "We speak similar language and I schooled in Onitsha." As you can see, he didn't deny being Igbo bit he wasn't proud of it either. That's the story of a lot of Anioma people. They think identifying with the Igbo tag will limit them in some way.

Op so out of this beautiful presentation, its the igbo part that you could pick up. You need deliverance

Don't sweat it. I understand your pain. Among all the ckntestants, you were the one whose torso was close to being seeen and you lost to someone who was well covered up and Igbo. Like I said, I understand the pain. You campaigned so much for an online pageant and lost, that must have been very brutal.
