I'm so ashamed of be ndi Igbo. They are giving us bad names. Benin descendants are majority in Edo,delta,river and Bayelsa. Please let's stop claiming them to avoid further embarrassment 14 Likes 1 Share |

But they speak Igbo, bear Igbo names and wear Benin attire, I think language is first before cloth you wear, you cant be speaking Yoruba and claiming that you wear Igbo clothes and you speak Yoruba as your mother tongue and bear Yoruba names. Ika in Delta, Ikwerre in Rivers and Igbanke in Edo, their speaking of Igbo and bearing of Igbo names gave them out as Igbos,if they like make them wear all manner of Benin or Yoruba clothes. 6 Likes |

Odingo1:ikwere people lay claim to benin ancestry, they honoured the man that took part in killing 3 million of igbos. Dein of agbor say he's Benin, he warn his people to stop promoting Igbo culture.

Asshurbanipal:that's exactly why they adopted a version of Igbo language, to make trade easier. Just like there are many Benin descendants that look and speak like Yoruba,igala but they identify as Benin. Only Igbo case is different 1 Like |

Asshurbanipal:I think you've gotten your answer. You can change your skin colour, you can learn new languages, adopt new cultures. But can you change your ancestry? Your blood? Till date African Americans are locating their roots because blood is thicker. They aren't Igbo and that's final. Trying to claim them and force them into your union is a terrorist act. Buhari was right declaring IPOB a terrorist organisation 1 Like |
