Question: Is Southeast and Igboland the
same thing?
Answer: Not at all. Southeast is only about
3/5th of Igboland. Igboland covers the
whole of Southeast, parts of Rivers, Delta,
Benue, and Akwa Ibom states. Question: Why were we taught in school
that Igbo people are easterners?
Answer: It is both an unfortunate parroting
by teachers and careless adoption by Igbo
educated class. Igbo people come from
Southern Nigeria and not Eastern Nigeria. It may be correct to say that the Igbo are
found predominantly in eastern Nigeria.
However, by saying that the Igbo are
easterners, the implication is that the Igbo
in western Nigeria, numbering about 2.5
million (Agbor, Ogwashi Ukwu, Ibuzo, Okpanam, Asaba, Orimili, Ndokwa, Anioma,
etc) are not Igbos. The best known Igbo
anthropologist Professor Mike
Onwuejeogwu is from the western part of
Nigeria, Chukwuma Nzeogwu, Dennis
Osadebe, Okonkwo Adibe (the famous musician), Sony Odogwu, etc. are all from
the western part of Nigeria. They are no less
Igbo than those who live in the eastern part
of Nigeria. The correct answer to your
question is "the Igbo come from Southern
Nigeria." Question: Why do some Igbo refer to themselves as "core Igbo?"
Answer: That is clearly arrant nonsense.
Nobody is core and others peripheral. All
Igbo are the same. It is both arrogant,
thoughtless and insensitive for anybody to regard
others as marginal. Question: Is Igboland landlocked?
Answer: Not at all. Igboland stretches from
Igwe Ocha (Port Harcourt) to Agbor. The
Atlantic ocean washes the shores of
Igboland. Africa's second largest river - River Niger,
traverses Igboland with one part of Igboland in the east and another
part in the west of Nigeria. Uguta Lake has
the potential of accommodating large ships
and could be made a navigable port. If
Igboland is landlocked, then all Nigeria is
landlocked.

There are also Yorubas in some part of Kogi, Kwara, Niger and Edo states but they are not part of the SW, and no one is forcing anyone.

You should be asking what has the Yorubas done to Igbos to warrant hate every time. There are millions of Igbo in the entire south west but you won't find 1% of that of Yorubas in the NE. That tells you the hospitality of the NE and SW people. If you want to see hate, turn to radio biafra.
