Afam4eva: The original settlers of Onitsha were part of the Umu Ezechima. The Aniocha/Oshimili despite links to Bini over time through war and other influences have no problem identifying with the Igbos. The Ukwuani's can be funny at times but the denial is more among the Ikas. To me, the entire Anioma can be generally grouped as Igbos or Ibos. The annoying ones, who the Igbos should be wary of are the Ikwerres, their aggressive denial, evident way back in the civil war and their daily denials shows they can not be fully trusted. They speak Igbo, live like Igbos but deny being one. Those from Bonny and Opobo, on the other hand speak Igbo, used as the main language for trade then but still retain their Igbani identity in their names, Chieftaincy title, their House style common among the Ijaws. 1 Like |

Ngozi123: I agree with you, while not all Aniocha might support Biafra (Same among the Igbos across the Niger) most that I know including myself have no problem being called one. The denial sometimes comes from the attitude of the Igbos across the Niger to them, some idiots would refer to them as "Awusa Igbo" same treatment they give those from Ebonyi. 1 Like |

invisibeTroll:Do you know that Ika still retain our Edo, names, chieftaincy titles and Edo style of building and town planning? What does this tell you? Though we Ikas are not claiming to be Edo we want to be Ika. |
