Agada: Even your name is igbo. Am not a pro or anti biafra person but i think we all are letting political divides seperate us. If all can go back a 100 or even 200 years, we would be shocked to see how related most of us are. A friend of mine from enugu state told me that they are ancestrally from benue. Before all these state creations and even before independence, you could settle in their part of enugu or benue axis as you wish and still see yourself as from the same place. Today, those two axis are now from seperate states and geo political zones. Till date, their surnames sound similar. A typical one is the case of onitsha. Historically, the people of present day onitsha(then called onicha) were farmers and fisher men(due to the presense of river niger). They lived in present day onitsha but had their farms across the river. They usually went their to farm in the day and come back with their canoes in the evening, sometimes spending days on the farm. That farm area was called onicha ugbo meaning onicha's farmland. With time, a few of them started staying back at that farm settlement. Today, some of their offsprings settled in onitsha and the others in onicha ugbo. Yet, today they are now different states and geo political zones. But at a time, they were one family. I have a friend from abia state. His grandpa was fulani who never went back. They are now full igbos. And am sure that an average hausa man wont even know that they are brothers. Instead of dividing ourselves for useless political reasons,we should all go back a bit to dig into our history to see that we may be more related than we know. Am from imo, i recently discovered a long gone relation that is now ikwerre in rivers state. My father can faintly remember her mother when they were kids growing up as cousins in the same compound. Now this woman's own kids dont even know they have any ancestory in imo state 8 Likes 1 Share |

Who are the Arogas in Ogbadibo? Are they mostly Igbo? That’s what I am telling you. They are part of Owukpa in Ogbadibo. You cannot say they are mostly Igbo but they share everything together. The interaction became so permanent that you think they are Igbo. People tell you if you go there, there are so many Igbo there. But that is as a result of living together for so long Dear Prof. Murmuring why people do not classify Arogas Igbos as idomites rather the call idomites Igbos? 2 Likes |

Aufbauh: It's a shame you made a complete fool of yourself yet again. You are here informing me not to use Google to speak on identity when even the nigga you masterbating with confirmed exactly what that Google statement said. Let me highlight it again The words of the igbos in benue “The Igbos in Benue State particularly those in Ado, Oju, Obi and Okpoku LGAs of the state were in existence before the advent of Christian religion in Nigeria. https://www.google.com/amp/thenationonlineng.net/agony-igbos-benue/amp/ The words of your jerry Agada's on this exact interview But there are some communities in Ogbadibo, your local government, Ado, Okpokwu and Obi council areas, the Ezza, Izzi, Effium Ai Aroga that are dominated by Igbo? Let me guess Agada also used google to attest the same thing as the Google post. See pure stupidity in display. Kudos to you Nigga Like I said until you can provide EXACTLY where Ogbadibo LGA was mentioned as an igbo community by the igbo in benue, you and Jerry ended up making una selves look desperate and attention seeking mother fuckerror. Stop looking for attention like a wh0re. Noone wants to see una yansh. Secondly I've been on this forum since 2012 and I remember very well the we SS and If i recall correctly you were one of them. Heck few days ago you twisted yourself into half igbo. Keep twisting Nigga. One of this days you go transform yourself to Chinese. 8 Likes 1 Share |

This line of questioning is really funny. Who are these people and what's the purpose of this interview?. Are you igbo? No Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure. I'm not igbo. Not even a little bit........like a tiny bit igbo? I'm not igbo at all. But you look igbo..... (Sweats) yes, when i sweep my compound and the igbo man sweeps his compound, our brooms touch each other because our compounds are very close. But I am not igbo. We just like to do things together because our compounds are so close. But you have common words and practices.... Because the Igbo people gave us their juju and masquerades to use. We didn't change the names because the juju and masquerades were not made by us. But you have palm trees like igbo people (Chai! Which kain wahala) we met all these things here, when we migrated to the boundary we didn't travel with our our own vegetation. But I submit to you: we are not igbo. What do you think of Biafra? I don't think anything. If not for my social studies teacher, I would never even have heard of it. I blame him. In fact, I don't even know how to spell the word, or how to locate it on the map. I refused to learn it. If Nnamdi Kanu comes to visit your house, will you welcome him? Never! Me and my family don't know any Nnamdi Kanu. Is okay, you can go. Thank you. Wait! (Stops) There's an igbo man. Laugh at him, but don't tell him it's me that told you to do it. Leave all these people alone already. |

Almaiga:Dont mind them. When I shared screenshots of how Benue people feel about Kanu's shenanigans, they insulted the crap out of the commentators and called them slaves, and that most of them were Tiv people saying when Kanu talks about Benue, he's referring to Idomas and. Idoma leaders have come out several times to condemn the nonsense about their inclusion yet they keep trudging along the same shameful path. I guess my own people (Igedes) have yet to make any definite official statement because THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE NONSENSE EXISTS! Biafrans should get used to and embrace the fact should their dreams come to fruition, it would only encompass the FIVE SE states. Anything outside that is an invitation to anarchy. 3 Likes |

Hearing of Igbos existing in Ogadibo or even claiming to be in Ogadibo for the first time. All these attention seeking Mofos sef. Igbo news sell like gala in a "hold up", so everyone is looking to leech on us into relevance and one minute fame. Igbos I know are in Okpokwu, Obi, Oju, and Ado LGAs. At this rate, soon, a man from Agatu will come and tell us why he and his people are not Igbos. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Ndlistic: Tuface is not Igbo. He is Idoma. Idoma people have a way of answering Igbo sounding names. There is this Idoma Tuface look alike called Joel Amadi. Google him, Amadi sounds Igbo, but it's an Idoma name too, with a totally different meaning from the Igbo equivalent. It's just like some Igbos think Mercy Johnson has some Igbo maternal links, because of her middle name, Ozioma. When in truth, Ozioma is an Ebira name with an entirely different meaning from the Igbo equivalent and Mercy Johnson has no iota of Igbo blood in her. 2 Likes |

omenkaLives: Bro, how have you been? Its been a while though. I don't think those Ipob miscreants are human with function brain or memories. It's a waste of time and energy educating those mofos. Frustrations from Buhari's presidency is really taking a toll on them. They should have asked their grandparents where the biafran soldiers were much annihilated and who were the natives that aided the federal troops? The revelation then might cure their fruitless obsession. 1 Like 1 Share |

Malawian: At no time had Enugu people denied the existence of Idomas and Igalas in Etteh. The bone of contention is that Etteh must remain in Enugu state, and not moved to Kogi state, like some Igala elements in that town want to, since there are also indigenous Igbo people that are part of Etteh town. 1 Like |
