I plead with those Ndi Igbo who have sense and whose spirit is strong, so have not submitted to this fetish Biafra of a thing, to please not be silent.

IGBO AND THIS SILLY IDENTITY CRISIS
[s]
I am Igbo from Anioma, and I so love my people. I also love the peoples of South-South very much, but this post is about Ndi Igbo.

Ndi Igbo why this our IDENTITY CRISIS? Nobody on earth has it except us. Only we Ndi Igbo are showing everybody everywhere that we have an Identity Crisis!

• Ijaw call themselves Ijaw

• Ibibio call themselves Ibibio


• French call themselves French

• Germans call themselves Deutsche


• Han people of China call themselves Han

ONLY Ndi Igbo will call themselves Biafrans, a very silly thing to do. We are revealing to all, that we have a needless “Identity Crisis”, and that we are behaving like an undisciplined wild people. Ndi Igbo, if we want to change our name to “Biafran” or other equally inappropriate words such as “Nsi” or “Mmamịrị” or “Ndi Nzuzu” we can, but we should do it intelligently, democratically and follow DUE PROCESS!

This is how those who want Ndi Igbo to change our name of “Igbo” into something else should INTELLIGENTLY do it:
1) They should provide reasons and arguments why the name “Igbo” that our ancestors gave us has become a bad name.

2) After that, we together and democratically agree that the name “Igbo” is bad for us, and needs to be rejected and changed.

3) All those who want to can suggest new names for Ndi Igbo, giving reasons for the names they propose.

4) From the list of new name suggestions, we together and democratically vote in our new name.

So, if Ndi Igbo want to have a new name, let us first hear reasons why a name change is needed, then let us choose our new name in a democratic way!

What has happened is that some people, for personal gain, have used the internet to blast out this foreign word “Biafra”, that represents death and defeat for Ndi Igbo, and they have caused a wild IDENTITY CRISIS in those Igbos who cannot reason. Remember, even if you have PhD and even if you have made much money from business, that is not a guarantee that you can reason. If you knew how to reason, you would not be calling yourself by the word “Biafran”, because you first would have to have reasons why you rejected the name “Igbo”, and you don’t have any. So you see, you CANNOT reason!

Nnamdi Kanu does fetish rituals over the words “Biafra” and “Biafran” so uses diabolical powers to get into the souls of those who he is able to manipulate. So the reason those Ndi Igbo use the word “Biafran” upon themselves is because their spirit is weak. That diabolical fetish wants the words “Biafra” and “Biafran” to be ringing throughout Igbo communities, and cause hate and disunity among us for all time.

Yoruba are more intelligent. They have no identity crisis. They do things in the right manner. They are able to REASON well. Yoruba call themselves Yoruba or Omo Oduduwa (children of Oduduwa). They use words for themselves that are linked to their culture and their history.

That is not the case for Ndi Igbo. We just shout out “Biafran” to create noise that has no reason behind it. It is a sad pity we are not using some of that intelligence that Yoruba use in their nation. We are Ndi Igbo or Umu Eri (children of Eri), but have allowed that fetish use of the words “Biafra” and “Biafran” to bring an Identity Crisis in our nation!

I plead with those Ndi Igbo who have sense and whose spirit is strong, so have not submitted to this fetish Biafra of a thing, to please not be silent. Please, rise up and let us reclaim “Igbo” as the only name for our people, and end this Identity Crisis that the weak ones have brought into our land. Our children don’t need to inherit this nonsense. Ekelem unu niile

But the Yorubas call themselves Oduduwas and the Hausas call themselves Ariwas. Oga to slap you just the hungry me.

Ojiofor:


The Yorubas and and Ariwas knows the meaning of what call themselves in their native languages,Does Biafra have any meaning Igbo language?

jimyjames:


the only people with identity crisis are those who dumped their Ethinicty to call themselves niger Deltans , one was foolish enough to call it niger Delta ethic group, and those fools run away slave's from Benin who are igbo today Benin tomorrow anioma today, Delta igbo tomorrow etc a time will come when some confused run away slave's will beg to be called igbo

I want to know, what is the meaning of Biafra? Before we call ourselves name our fathers did not give us, we should know it's meaning. Some people said it's the name of a sea, some said it's the name of a deity from anonimi in southsouth. So what does Biafra really mean?

Hangulsaram:

Biafra is a country not ethnicity, it comprises of the old Eastern state.
It has nothing to with you your identity as an Igbo. The only person that has identity crises is the Op, he is Igbo and also a Nigerdeltans, and not from south East.

Biafra in Igbo means "Come yeh all and free yourself from the zoo"
