Billyonaire: Both my paternal and maternal grand mums are Igbos, so are you authoritatively saying I am IGBO ? You are indeed an Igbo, but that does not mean that you lose our identity or affiliations with other ethnic groups. This idea of "pure" igbo is nothing but a bunch of balony, put forth by the saddists among us. |

@billionaire According to what have heard from real son of the soil.. If ur father and mother are not igbo.. U are definitely not igbo.. So having two identities doesnt qualify u to be true igbo |

Abagworo: Are you saying that if you were born by Ibo parents but don't like Ibo that means you're not Ibo? Very funny. Tomorrow Michael Essien would claim he's Ibo when he's not yet a Nigerian. 1 Like |

Billyonaire: Whats the meaning of nwadiala/nwadiana ?nwadiana/nwadiala is what you are to ur maternal home in igboland. Just like the english has it that ur uncle's or aunt's children are your cousins. |

Eze Promoe:Ndokwa is not part of Anioma as its an independent ethnic group that's why Ndokwa is being refers to as the second largest ethnic group in Delta state,those words might mean different things in Igbo from what they mean to the Ndokwa people. There are similarities among Nigerian languages,for instance salt is pronounce as nnu-iyor in Ukwuani while the Yorubas pronounce salt as iyor omitting the nnu attached to it by the Ndokwas. |

Billyonaire: Whats the meaning of nwadiala/nwadiana ? This is the type of balderdash I referred to as balony, in my previous post. Being labelled nwadiala/nwadiana does not make you less Igbo, other Igbos will however try to label you and use that label to discriminate against you. |

You are an Igbo man if u are from old Eastern Nigeria and Benue or have 'settled' in any of these area for up to 20years and married to an Igbo man/woman,If you are born of Igbo parents or adopted by same or if your father is an Igbo man,If you accept Igbo as ur root,If you speak Igbo,....this goes to show that some Ikwerres or some parts of Delta who claim non-igbo origin are not Igbo.Any person who cannot speak Igbo whether born of Igbo parents is not Igbo.you must satisfy all the conditions listed above before u'll be considered Igbo. 2 Likes |

Antivirus92: one day an hausa man will walk into ur umunna meeting and tell them that he's no more hausa but igbo. Hope u will accept him! Have you been to the Hausa community at Onu-Asata in Enugu? All the Hausa kids there are bi-lingual. Do your research. 2 Likes |

solomto: bt if its the other way round or if he was raised by his mother and never visits his fathers home and at the°c same time doesn't speak igbo, is he an igbo too.?According to Igbo culture and most African cultures, you're from a place only if your Father is from there. But we all have our personal beliefs. Personally, as long as you have an Igbo blood either through your father or mother or even as far as your maternal grandmother then you qualify as Igbo. Even if you're an Oyibo, you'll equally be embraced into the Igbo nation but you will not become IGBO(tribe). |
