Ikechukwuni6: Good. Igbo or Yoruba isn't a nationhood or racial identity. it is specifically a people identified by a given language which is known as "Igbo". So anyone speaking a dialect of Igbo or Yoruba or ijaw historically without a trace or proof to have spoken something different in the past is only leaving in self-denial. If your name and father's name and that of village and community is Igbo or Yoruba or ijaw then you're definitely ijaw or Igbo or Yoruba. 4 Likes |

Ogu bolo is purely ijaw. Their prowess is legendary and they resisted the biafran army with great force until they bowed under the superior fire power of the biafran army. To curb future occurrence, Ogu bolo was totally occupied the longest by the evading army. 1 Like |

2point5: So the OP made a mistake and listed Ndoni areas as the Ogu-obolo areas. Can someone explain to me how the "we Rivers state" people on this thread did not notice this despite claiming to be "okirika, ijaws".. Can someone explain to me how "indigienous of RIvers state" did not see the mistakes? Hmmmmm.says alot 10 Likes |

Brownbarbie97:OK fine my ancestors were supposedly Igbo does that make me igbo especially when it comes to the issue of joining biafra?? HELL NO! The slaves that left the shores of Africa 100s of year ago, does that make there descendants which are present day African Americans Africans?? Has any group of them or even one of them in present day dropped their American Nationality to pick up that of any African country?? Barack Obamas father was a Kenyan. Does that make Barack Kenyan?? Like I said, drop this history shìt. You can't move forward while looking at the rear mirror. Leave communities that not want to join biafra alone irrespective of their historical back ground.

YelloweWest: Ok you have admitted you have no clue already. Thanks. You were the one who traced history to say your ancestors married Igbos and all, yet your villages and names are Igbo! If you knew they intermarried Igbo then you should know who they were before the marriage and what language they spoke. Every honest Nigerian knows Igbo denial by Igbos living on the borderlines came during and after the civil war 10 Likes |

Hell i posted on here etche discussion about their ethnic tribe and history. The people disassociating them as non igbo are ijaws. Why?

Brownbarbie97: It will not shock me honestly. We used to have one like him from that side morphing left and right. The dude went from north to igbo to igbo/north mixed back to fI'll igbo to finally accepting being yoruba after being caught multiple times. Before him, we had one that claimed brazilian and when caught, he claimed edo then edo/yoruba and when busted repeatedly, he finally agreed to be yoruba. So it will not shock me if that's the same scenario here. How the "ijaw" couldn't see the OP mistake but yet claiming to be from the state. I repeat again, that speaks volume. 7 Likes |

lezz:Yes, Tobi is yoruba. My point is, the Igbos are not to say which ethnic community is theirs or not. On records, ikewere and ijaws are not Igbo. It's there in the law. Just as it was with Russia and some part of Ukraine. Fight for the"igbo nation" that's in the law not try to claim people into your cause |

lezz: Dude none of us are aware if ogu-bolo truly are ijaws. Did you see any ijaws provide any evidence to back up their claim.. If you have been in this forum long enough, you would known that is how ijaws are. They did the same exact thing during discussion about ndoki and egbema. Literally even when people quoted the community in question, they still till this very day maintains those people are them. Recall few weeks ago the urhobo actually had a protest over ijaws claiming one of their territory. Like I said before, believe ijaws claim of any land with a grain of salt. The Ogu-obolo could well be igbo or even after ethnic group that is neither igbo or ijaws until proven otherwise.. 8 Likes |

YelloweWest:I guess Igbos colonised the people of rivers, that's why they bear Igbo names. Until you give a tangible reason why some rivers indigenes bear Igbo names, Igbos and every other Nigerian will continue to see you guys as igbos, except when they want to play politics. Stop bearing Igbo names and people will take your people serious. 8 Likes |

Brownbarbie97: You don't have to be insulting. I won't condensed to your level. We bare igbo names in our communities and between our people. That is indicative of our history with the Igbos. That dose not in any way mean we want to join biafra. And yes biafra is a great fear to me because of the risks it poses. Eg claiming non willing communities as part of them. As for the African American you claim want to know their root, you are right on that. But how many of them would want to drop their American Nationality and claim that of Africa where their ancestors came from?? That's the same way we from Rivers state would NEVER drop Niger Delta for biafra. NEVER! 3 Likes |

At the end of the day, you're an Igboid group under Igbo. I understand why your people disassociate themselves with igbos. While the other igbos are hard working people, the ikwerres are lazy and depend on government. That's why they vehemently deny being Igbo. 3 Likes 1 Share |
