No dispute that Igbos are your brothers just like every other people from other parts of the country, and i also respect the fact that you re from River state but the question here is ARE U AN IGBO MAN? undecided

What im trying to tell u is... nobody forced me.
I know d truth and i decided to follow the truth.

If u are really from rivers or from south south..
The last election is should open ur eyes to tell u who ur real brothers are..thats even one reason out of 100+
Contrary to what dey they media made us bliv igbos are....

I hav lived in Southwest for over 8years and my experience hav tought me so many things.
U will not know the truth if u hav not stayed in the 3 major tribes of Nigeria.

A lot of things in my mind to say but leme just stop here.

The president also must have been infected with the Igbosyndrome that made him think SS are Igbo. The point here is SS being Ijaw, ikwerre, Ogbia, Kalabari people, Ibani of Opobo, Bonny, Okrika, Andoni clans and so on... are different from the SE Enugu, Onitsha, Owerri, Awka, Abakiliki. Dialects, cultures, traditions and religion can acquaint with the differeces.


Hmmmm......... The Igalas of Anambra and the Idoma of Enugu state, are they also included in your so called 'SE Igbos'? There is no SE or SS, neither SE or SS is im the costitution of the federal Republic of Nigeria. What is important are tribes. Dont speak for anyone outside your tribe

This is an observation that raised a question and not a subjugation on how anyone needed to get their ass kicked.
Good, provide us the Obigbo, Etche, Asaba etc dialects construction then compare to those of Owerri, Abakaliki, Abiriba, Nsukka etc then explain why I understand the Rivers and Delta dialects more than the rest.

I guess the latter are no longer Igbos

I still understand the Ikwerre dialect better than that of Owerri even if I've only visited both places

I have read so many threads, posts and comments on the Igbos trying to correlate themselves with the likes of Port Harcort, Deltans and other SS states. These brought me to wonder why Igbos kept downgrading their selves because of reasons i dont understand, Igbo people are industrious and hard working people and nevertheless the only of such in Nigeria but to some extent Igbos have gone far and wide in making them selves a tribe to reckon with.
But in the light of this, it is evident that the Igbos are gradually making their selves a laffing stock in the face of other tribes in Nigeria by forcefully trying to woo their Niger deltans counterparts in their quest to achieve their sovereign state of Biafra and other quests. I had seen a lot of igbo speaking Deltans that often tells me they are not Igbo and hence refused to be regarded as one and yet you will always hear the Igbo man telling you that they are all Indigbo just the way they are doing in PH (NA OUR BRODA!!!).
This is so erroneous and its peculiar to the igbos, cos have never witnessed such thing in the Yoruba land, take Kwara state for example, i know u know the story but today they are more or less Fulani and the Yorubas haven't come out to forcefully claim it back, another typical example is of Delta state formerly under western Nigeria, today we still have yoruba speaking communities just like the igbos in delta state even the prince of Olu of warri bears a native Yoruba name and so many others too, but yet no yoruba man will tell you they are the same or must be the same.

MY advice to my good igbo brothers and sisters, pls stop forcing yourselves or others to align with you no matter what as it is more of demoting urselfs rather than promoting urself as one of the 3 major tribes in the country, because these other tribes also have their own culture, language and tradition which is more or less diff from yours.
am from Rivers Etche, let me start by telling you we have 99.9% everything in common. Be it tradition,

culture,

religion,

way of expressing ourselves.

Apart from asari dokubo tell me another SS and SE person that is Moslem. Goodluck Jonathan is from SS OK, let's agree that he did not do anything for the igbos, but they fought for him like a brother will do for a fellow brother. So where do you people (Yorubas) stand.? With Fulanis? I wish you people Goodluck with them.

Okay, well this is not about tribashing or subjugation am not from d east and neither from d south but the West....
Lets forget all dis political politics cos it has done us more harm than good as far as im concern. The thing is i'm not against any tribe supporting one another most especially when they av proximity within them...
We all have our likes and dislikes, u might be an ibo man but loves yoruba more dan Ijaw *just saying*
For instance am a full blooded Yoruba man married to a typical Igbo woman from Anambra and we live happily even when she troubleshoot my life, i still maintain the relationship cos its me who started it nobody told me to. So we just need to start learning how to tolerate ourselves hence this tribal hatred will never stop!

Igbos and most SS people are very much alike or similar in culture, religion, origin, way of life, e.t.c. Even the average yoruba or Hausa man can hardly differentiate Igbos and South-southernerns. Hausas call all of them 'Inyamiri' (igbos), yorubas call all of them 'Omo igbo'.

Differentiating Igbos and South-south is just like trying to differentiate Hausas from Fulanis, Shuwa arabs, Kanuris, Bauchis, Nupes e.t.c

Yoruba is a 1 nation under God. The Ooduas never allow anyone to align their selves forcefully or playfully.
It seems you are still pained by the exit of your broda GEj and annoyed with the architects of his unseat,
Do not allow ur brains to be beclouded by the politics of this politician so that it wont affect your sense of reasoning.

Incase u never know m from SW. So get that fact right at the back of your putrid skull.

Yoruba writeup


Why do some people call themselves Delta Igbo and there is nothing like Delter yoruba?

Get this into your afonjic skull because I know you're not from South East, the Igbo people in South East don't share the same culture, tradition/language as you said, every clan gave their own but they are all Igbo because we agreed to be called Ndi Igbo




The OP is claiming to come from the East but this screen-shot shows he is an impostor, a real Ewedu amala eater from yoruba land

Yeah, the way they handle it is not proper.
Of course the country is not good and their agitation for self determination is understood, but forcing themselves on their neighbors is laughable.

I think they try to pursue the size of biafra ojukwu pursued.
Even that time many SS people were not with ojukwu on biafra.
