Before the British colonists came, what was your ethnicity and what do your people refer themselves as?
What is the meaning of Biafra in your language and who coined the name?

We have always been Igbos before Nigeria was created by the greedy British. Biafra just like Nigeria is the name of countries, not ethnic groups

Funny how people who were given.the slave name "Nigeria" by the British, after a common River, have now taken that slave name as their ethnic identity. What a disgrace

References:
Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos State chapter, Joe Igbokwe, has described himself as a Nigerian and not belonging to any ethnic group.

Igbokwe, who stated this yesterday at the House of Assembly during the screening of the last batch of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s cabinet-nominees, lampooned those he described as ethnic bigots.

He hinted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) vice presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was the reason for the attitude of easterners in the state during the last general election.

Lagos should take the lead and be more open to other ethnic groups by giving them political appointments, he asserted.

He said, “I’m proudly Nigerian; I don’t know about east, west, north or south. I have been in Lagos since 1985. My children were born here. It’s high time we started building this country.

“I get angry when people mention ethnicity. A young Nigerian lady was just made a minister in Britain. If I become the president of this country, nobody is going to fill form and put his state of origin. That’s the first thing I will do. It is when you take people for who they are that is when they will release their energy for the good of the country. One day, Nigerians will say, we are all Nigerians.

“The reason for the attitude of easterners in Lagos at the last election was because Peter Obi was on the ballot. If Atiku had won, he would be the vice president.

“If 70 to 75 per cent of a particular people dominate a region, they should be encouraged. If they don’t get council chairman, at least make them deputy. What Igbo people have in Lagos, they don’t have a quarter of it in their land. If you see anybody that is doing well in the South East, he must have a thriving business in Lagos.

This clownish slave should just mind whatever job he gets from his masters and keep Igbo issues out of his stinking mouth as he has no ethnic group as declared by him.

As you reminded them in 2015 and 2019?
When did buhari become a Yoruba man?
Do you command the same votes in kano and katsina like a buhari?
Because that is the only way you can win in.2023.

And Buhari cannot sway opinion in those places right?

Anyway, maybe Peter Obi would convince them better.

At least with the Biafrans, they chose their name. With Nigerians, they went with whatever name of a River that Lugard chose for them

Good thing that Lugard did not go for Oceans, Joe Igbokwe would have been a proud "Athlantician" by now.

What he was trying to say flew over your understanding.
He meant that he's a Nigerian and had lived in Lagos since 1985 meaning he has a right just like any Yoruba in Lagos.
If a foreigner having lived in Nigeria for 15 years or more can naturalize and become a Nigerian and choosing a state, what makes him as a Nigerian from not having such privilege.
He even said something about abolishing state of origin in any form to be filled if he was the president, is this not what is obtainable in advanced countries?
What he is trying to say perched perched on your understanding yet you fail to understand that Joe Igbokwe no matter how much he tries cannat be accepted as a youruba by the Yorubas. And you also failed to comprehend that it easier for a foreigner to be accepted as Osogbo indigene than for Joe Igbokwe to be accepted. Nigeria without state of origin? You are dreaming in New york.!

If I am a bigot for saying the truth what about your sage who described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression?
The truth is you guys love Joe Igbokwe because he is serving your purpose. The question remains how long would the love last? I hope by then it would not be too late for the Bat?

Joe Igbokwe didn't say anything bad at all.

Why can't we all just be NIGERIANS.
In Rwanda, they have abolished classification based on tribes and it's now an offense to refer to a citizen by the name of any tribe
