sesan85:[/s] Your poor mother will be disappointed in you no doubt, you've just desecrated whatever honor she had left. You're talking to someone who has followed Ijeoma for how many years now? Dindinrin oshi, I follow all her editorials and she's quite popular among the Nigerian community here in NY. There's no time she denied been Igbo, Etche is literally a backyard distance to Oyigbo where I come from, and they're even more Igbocentric than we are. Come up with a intelligent tactics, this one is already dead on arrival 3 Likes 2 Shares

sesan85: She can claim to be from anywhere she cares, she can even claim to be american if she wants, that's her right. But she cannot take away the fact that she is Etche and that Etche is a sub group of Igbo tribe. This sub tribe of Igbos are also in Imo and Abia, just like the Ohaji/Egbema axis has thier other kins in rivers. The creation of state gave rise to separation of kins. If Ijeoma Oluo was a criminal she would automatically be Igbo to you but because the case is opposite, she now etche. My LGA share boundaries with Etche of rivers and some of those can claim Imo or Rivers depending on what is at stake, like the satellite towns between Lagos and Ogun. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Rejected left and right like lepers. Ijeoma Oluo is Etche not Igbo, let it burn you forever! Lmao! |

Tobrasky:I don't care! All I know is that Benin owns Onitsha, Efik-Ibibios own Arochukwu and Abriba, Igalas own Enugu, and all Igbos are descended from Eric, an Igala man. And don't forget, Ikwerres are not Igbo, Ukwuanis are not Igbo, Sunday Oliseh and Ijeoma Oluo have rejected your worthless people. More tears for Osu outcastes, lmao! |

3Ceagle:That is none of your own business though. The point is, Ijeoma Oluo says she's Etche, not Igbo. Let her be than trying to force some Igbo identiy on her. You guys did the same to Sunday Oliseh when he said the same thing. Aren't you ashamed of yourselves? |

Okay. Well dalu to all Igbos it's a proud feeling to know one of yours is doing great things. Even though she isn't really a Nigerian in the real sense of it. Dad is Igbo mum is Caucasian from Kansas all her life has been spent in America , she married to an American.She is an American period. When I saw the topic of the thread I was really excited. In my mind I was like finally an African abroad can give his or her perspective on what racism really means . But I was disappointed when I noticed it's another BLM tirade. Because you see in America it's a whole different kinda of racism for African's based abroad. And it's not even racism from white Americans it's racism from African Americans towards Africans based abroad. You might be wondering, racism amongst blacks? Yes, that's the worst kind of racism you can ever imagine. You see that's why I don't give a Bleep about BLM. As long as it doesn't involve all black lives in America they can all go to hell. 1 Like |

sesan85: You must to be a hater. See make I tell if you, if you are not from Etche it doesn't concern you whether they are Igbo or not. That woman may claim she's not Igbo, but can she go to an Etche gathering and tell them they are not ndigbo. Even people from your region, here in nairaland have seen all this nonsense you have been posting here, but they don't want to back you up, because they know that you are misguided. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
