Ojiofor: You still do not get. Ordinary Igbos on Nairaland, FB and twitter were spoiling for war thereby giving an impression of all Igbos being involved while the opposing Igbo voices like mine and many others were threatened by fellow Igbos or called Hausa and Yoruba man. It is no different from what is happening on this thread and elsewhere. 3 Likes |

Abagworo:tell the irrelevant hopeathand to get off from this thread.. The king never mentioned Ikwerre... Ikwerres bring troubles upon themselves... Apart from faceless forums, Has an Igbo man tagged the Ikwerres as Igbos in presence of "Ikwerre gathering"? = NO.. Has any Ikwerre Man call himself an Igbo in presence of "Igbo gathering"? = YES. 2 Likes |

Abagworo:I think you are the one who does not seems to get it.You can never be the only wise man in your community while the rest are foolish....it's either you are part of your community or you are not simple. People like you always like to dwell on every single mistake made by Ndigbo to justify your hatred and anti Igbo stand while condoning worst atrocities from other ethnic groups. Imagine what people like you would have said/done if Ndigbo were the force behind BH . |

Macelliot: Do Igbos have the nerve to come into an Ikwerre gathering and say Ikwerres are Igbos....Nope. You'll have to excuse one delusional fellow called Amaechi who was selling the candidacy of Buhari..He can say anything for politics. 1 Like |

Ojiofor: Abagworo is an Igbo guy who says the truth always, no matter who it pains or soothes..if the community is doing something wrong, he must not join them because a day of reckoning shall come and his stance shall vindicate him..Aknowledge him for always standing for truth, justice , fairness and equality.

I'm having somewhat of a difficult time deciding if it is the topic that is unnecessarily dumb, or if it is you all who are being unnecessarily foolish, or both. And I'm actually blown away that people are still trying to rob others of their 'Igboness' here on NL after all these years. Akanu m.. |

HopeAtHand:Sorry I don't need your information on who is Igbo or not cos by their fruit you shall know them.I don't have to engage you in anything concerning Igbo matter because you are not one And please stay out of my mention with your Ikwerre madness on every Igbo thread.....some of us don't care if they exist or not. |

PastorPLC: I don't think you're brilliant either or at least, your write-up does not suggest so. Why Yoruba in what is supposed to be strictly Igbo affairs? There can only be one reason why you mentioned Yoruba in your write up- inferiority issue! You developed Port-harcourt for the Ikweres just like you developed Lagos for the Yorubas and very soon, Kano will become a no-man's-land too. You are truly great! Yorubas are dullard ? Unfortunately for you,the rest of the world don't think so,good evening ! 2 Likes |

PastorPLC: Keep on ranting this way.... And watch your kinsmen move farther away from you. Edos are Yorubas, Ikwerres are Yorubas, Itsekiris are definitely Yorubas, Igboid speaking groups in SS are Yorubas.... Who are the next Yorubas? .... maybe Urhobos. 1 Like |

meccuno: Edo people are their own entity.. stop claiming that they are like the Yorubas.... The only group in Edo State that even bears a slight similarity with the Yorubas is Bini.... the Esans, Etsakos, Owans and others have no connection with Yoruba so stop spouting nonsense. |

lygn19: I'm not igbo. I'm esan. I don't know why Yoruba people spout their ignorance and stupidity for the world to see. Edo people for the most part have their own unique look and culture and if anything, Edos(especially Esans) resemble Igbos/other Southeastern Nigerians more than Yorubas in terms of skin complexion and physical appearance. 1 Like |

aim5: I still don't understand where this whole Idea of Yoruba overall looks comes from.... There is no monolithic look for all Yorubas. An Ilaje or an Akoko man is not the same as an Egba or Igbomina man. If Esans or Edos are so Unique looking please post me a crowd picture of Esan people here please.... and show me the unique differences they claim to have ..... Y'all claim to be different, but guess what.. to Europeans, there are no differences at all, Not even slight difference...... Aren't these Esan people singing over here? Please What is so unique about their looks? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw8HZ79z3QY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YksvJ0gQTGM Note: I am not claiming Edos are Yorubas, I am just telling you not to let the whole Yoruba stereotype thing mostly perpetuated by some Igbos get into your head. But if being Dark African is a crime, then so be it... Yorubas are proud to be dark... I guess Once I cross Asaba, all I would start seeing is Yellow People ..... damn, the 85% Dark skinned igbos I see all around must feel so bad about themselves, for not being "Yellow" 1 Like |

tonychristopher: loool..... I understand where you are coming from, BUT i also understand where they are coming from. All those tribes you mentioned are all ethnic groups that have strong relationships with the Yoruba. According to Yoruba legend, the ruling Omo n'oba dynasty are scions of Oduduwa.... not to mention that a lot of Edos actually do speak Yoruba and bear Yoruba names...look at Olusegun Olutoyin Aganga that was born in Owan East LGA of Edo state for example..... About 5 or 6 LGA's in Edo bear strong Yoruba affiliations. If you go to Ondo state for example, The Arogbo and the Apoi Ijaws have almost completely blended into Yoruba culture... same is true for a lot of Ijaw groups sandwiched between Itsekiris of Delta and Ilajes / Ikales of Ondo. Itsekiris and Igalas are Yoruboid language speaking groups...Normally, you can't gossip using Yoruba in their presence (like 40-50 of your secrets will be known, lol), and They pick up Yoruba with ease once they visit the west.... And if a Yoruba strain their ears hard enough, they will grasp a lot of Igala and most especially Itsekiri speech. Nupe and Yoruba are neighbors... Go to Kwara and Parts of Kogi..... Nupes there have been 'Yorubalized" Aworis are Yorubas.... However Eguns of Badagry and environs are not. (but even the Eguns have been culturally assimilated as well) |
