Sure SS/SE People are very close relatives close looks, culture, etc
They are not. I've never even seen them as one. Being Igbo is genetic, and not regional or language orientation. Your ability to speak Igbo language doesn't make you Igbo. Pls stop calling them Igbo. Themselves don't even want to be regarded as Igbo. So, to your tents o' Israel

When Ogbakor Ikwerre decided to push for the inclusion of Ikwerre as a separate tribe from Igbo, they did so after a careful observation of the history of Ikwerres.

One fool in Asaba can decide for himself in his domain, he can never speak for a people unrelated to him in anyway.


Go on Igbos and Unite, the Ikwerres wish you guys all the best.

Origin ascertained through distorted historical facts is like building a foundation on sandy soil. The jackasses did not know that Ikwerre as written to today is heavily Anglicized. They moronically calmed to have descended from Akalaka (Akaraka), the birth lines on someone's palm, but such terminology has no place in Benin vernacular. None of the goons knew the meaning of Isiokpo, the acclaimed ancestral home of Akalaka (Akaraka), yet they make fool of themselves at any given opportunity. I had wished the people of Bakassi had the opportunity to rewrite history too.

The Obi of Asaba should speak on behalf of his constituency.He cannot speak for Rivers State.

If the people of Oyigbo are tired of being called Rivers people, they can swim across the Imo River into Abia state.

Obi of Asaba should speak for himself..he should stop talkong like a fool.

Obigbo was never called Oyigbo until after the end of Nigeria/Biafra civil war when most goons started the denial of being Igbo. It got so bad that traditional ruler of Obigbo had to elope to Owaza.

The realization of Republic of Igbo land will certainly eradicate moronic dingbats among Ndiigbo. Nigeria is a fraud that created fraudulent citizens.

The igbos are closely related to people of delta state from agbor.........while the yorubas are closely related to the hausas,fulanis,itsekiris......I guess the line should be drawn from this emphasis.....the igbos and yorubas have nothing in common.....religion,tradition,culture........the igbos are related with the people of the south south with the exclusion of edo state.....they are more like the yorubas

We are Yorubas cuz we don't look like all of una. (Odenigbos)

These people speak Igbo as their ancestral language,they have Igbo surnames but they are not Igbo? What exactly makes a person Igbo? Anyone saying that they only started speaking Igbo because of hundreds of years of interaction is talking rubbish. Did the Igbos also force those people to adopt Igbo surnames?

We don't need Ikwerre to be part of us. They are not good in anything. They cannot be found in science and technology and they are also not good in sports. They have little oil but they boast because Igbos developed Port Harcourt for them. If oil dries tomorrow, they are finished. So, I see no reason to attach people who will be liabilities to Igbos.

The Igbos in the South East and Asaba are endowed with science and technology, but other Igbo speaking communities in South-south are dullard like Yorubas. Let them go to hell because we don't need them except Asaba.

Ihere megbuo gi hope!!
As an ukwa-ngwa,I no longer support the division of Alaukwa between Abia and Rivers state!!
Ukwa South LG(oyigbo) must be returned to Abia state and nothing can stop that angry .we the ukwa-ngwa cultural group of igboland can no support our people living south of Imo river being part of a 'confused' state.
The charade(wrongs) of 1976 must be righted..
1]Abia =oyigbo
2]Anioma =igbanke
3]Ebonyi =abi
4]Imo =egbema and ndoni
Rivers state, return oyigbo now!!

Abriba can understand central Igbo but other Igbos will not understand them. The same thing with Ebonyi, Ohafia and others. They understand central Igbo but other Igbos don't understand them. Even in Yoruba, Badagry understand Yoruba but other Yorubas does not understand them. This applies to some other states in Yoruba land.

But we don't need the South-south Igbo communities except Asaba. Though Obigbo has never denied Igbo.

In Nigeria Everyone becomes Igbo when it's convenient, and prefer to be referred to as nameless minority when it's not.

They may have been under bini rule but saying they actually migrated from bini is unreasonable.
