Ebonyi Political History. Afikpo Are Not Abakaliki. Afikpo Fake Igbo by UgwuAghachi: 12:48pm On Sep 06, 2018
Ebonyi was created in 1996. It was created from the fusion of 2 provinces

1. Abakaliki province from Enugu
2. Afikpo province from Abia


History of Afikpo

AFIKPO was founded by the Igbo Ukwu Omaka, Ekuma Ubaghala and their kinsmen who are Aro warriors who migrated from Arochukwu. Igbo Ukwu settled in Ehugbo, the political centre of Afikpo, Ubaghala founded Amasiri and kinsmen spread out to found, Edda (now Afikpo south LGA) and Akpoha. Afikpo people are Aro descendants and they used the Amadi system found in Abia as they share close relationship with the Arochukwu, Ohafia, Abam, Abiriba, Afikpo and Ekoi. They were part of the Aro constituency (Ohafia, Abam, Abiriba, Afikpo and Ekoi) dominated
south-eastern Nigeria throughout the 18th and 19th century.

Afikpo in Igbo and Ebonyi politics

Ebonyi was created by fusion of two power blocs, Abakaliki bloc from Enugu and Afikpo bloc from Abia (which comprised of Afikpo South (Edda), Afikpo North, Ivo, Onicha and Ohaozara LGAs). As at 1957, Abakaliki had not produced a single university graduate and had no post-primary school; the primary schools that were available between 1950 and 1958 were manned by teachers who were indigenes of Afikpo Division.
Sir Francis Akanu Ibiam, the first governor of Eastern Nigeria is an Afikpo man. He is also one of the first Nigerians to be a medical doctor.

Prominent Afikpo sons
The current governor of Ebonyi Dave Umahi is from Ohaozara
The first governor of old Abia state Ogbonnaya Onu is from Ohaozara
The former Senate president and SFG Anyim Pius Anyim is from Ivo
The first Governor of Eastern Nigeria Akanu Ibiam is from Afikpo North.


I don't know about the history of other people of Ebonyi but Afikpo people are bonafide Igbo people for generations. Afikpo are not Abakaliki. Anybody that tells me that fake Igbo nonsense should have his ignorant self blamed for my reaction




Modified: Culled from Arochukwu Wikipedia page:
By the mid-18th century, Arochukwu people founded many other communities both within and outside Igboland. These migrations, influence of their god Ibini Ukpabi through priests, and their military power backed up by alliances with several related neighboring Igbo (particularly Ohafia, Abam, Abiriba, Afikpo) and Eastern Cross River neighbour Ekoi, and quickly established the Aro Confederacy as a regional economic power.

Except Arochukwu aren't Igbo, your argument is stupid.

Moreover the history of Afikpo as told by scholars is more reliable than whatever nonsense your lazy father told you to make himself feel better about his misery instead of him to go and hustle like other Anambra men

Except Yoruba can trace their traditions and names to similar ones in Sudan, that's a fairy tale. Afikpo was always part of the Abia system of Igbo, by culture, proximity and names

the word igbo is a made up word like yoruba or hausa....tribes dont care about all this things.....

their are tribes that still remember who they are even before whites arrived on our shores....

i warned una to let go....but noooo.....

una will only open up old wounds....

their is no such thing as igbo,hausa or yoruba....

this are words from whites to control better....

if you think only shouting this words is enough to unite areas,then una are in for a big surprise....south sudan will be nothing compared to what will happen to una....

Tainted history? On the other hand, I'm talking about Abia history and an Anambra man who should be focusing on Anambra/Anioma business is suddenly an expert of Aro exploits. Instead of thinking about how to go and abolish Osu caste system in your state

Now let me state facts
1. Afipko was never part of Abakaliki province but was Abia until 1996 by Sani Abacha

2. The first governor of Eastern state (yes the leader of all igbo, from Ikwerre to Nnewi) was Akanu Ibiam an Afikpo man and he is the first igbo medical doctor

3. Afikpo was and still practices the Amadi system similar to that found in Abia as they are among the Bende, Ohafia, Arochukwu sharing culture and common boundaries

@bolded, we don't have any business with anioma or whatever there name is.

I just called my mom to coroborate, she confirmed the arochukwu migration and added that there is a dance arochukwu warriors do after they defeat an enemy, they would behead him, put his head in a basket and do a dance around the head. It's called the Abam dance. This dance is still done culturally till today in Afikpo but not with human head.

As an Ohaaozara man who was previously from IMO state, then to Abia, with no ancestral connection to Abakaliki, then some one suddenly starts calling me Abakaliki man just to downgrade me, possibly because I'm from Ebonyi State simply means that some people are poor in logical thinking. I'm a proud Ebonyian but not Abakaliki man, I'm rather an Ohaaozara Man and would prefer to be addressed as that.

You dey mind those people. They won't listen to you when you're talking calmly until you yell and become violent. Ohaozara was part of the old Afikpo province and was never Abakaliki. And they are 2 different people with different history

Obi of Onitsha wanna be Oba of Benin so badly its pathetic. Igbo have no kings. If any Igbo group suddenly have kings, its because they are diluted mixture bunch that were chased away from foreign land with a foreign culture grin

Meanwhile the first Eastern governor from 1960 - 1966 was Akunu Ibiam from Uwana, Afikpo North LGA. Before he handed over to Ojukwu, let it pepper your weak ego
