What is Ika Igbo? Igbos are really shameless.

There is Ika Igbo, there is Ngwa Igbo, there is Wawa Igbo, there is Nri Igbo, there is Ikwere Igbo, there is Etche Igbo, there is Izzi Igbo and so on. All these are independent tribes of the Igbo Nation. You know nothing about how we are constituted, so keep shut and face your minority one tribe nation of your people.

If that's the only part they give us as Biafra I do not mind

BTW: why did it keep shrinking

Their attempt to "landlock" us. Reason they be inventing all manner of Ijaw ownership or history in those areas, or tell is those Igbo groups do not see themselves as Igbos. Igboland already stretched out continuously to the sea. Only landgrabbing Ijaw is trying to claim where is not theirs. See how Ijaw even jumped over Ogoni to be claiming ibeno? That would then make it look like they own the other areas underneath us. Igbo problem in Nigeria is 70% Fulani/Yoruba and 30% Ijaw. Notice Ibibio and even Ogoni are not trying to drag land or people with Igbos, only those Ijaw wey their face dey oily like conddom.

Do you know it was mostly Ijaw people that benefited from Abandoned property? That was how they got a foothold in Port Harcourt. Every last Ijaw tribesman in P.H is living in an Igbo abandoned property.

Because Ndigbo don't know that they are being conquered.

See as you're laughing like a monkey when you've never even achieved your alaigbo yet.
Igbos are so toxic omg now I can see why the Afonjas despise you guys.

We rejected you because we don't think that would be the best decision for us.
Instead of you to move on with your lives, you decide to insult the same people you once wanted to join you in your quest for Biafra. Perhaps you wouldn't have referred to South south as sham or shit if they had originally agreed to join you. Bloody fool. This is why I hate Igbos. We'll start considering teaming up with the Yorubas and Fulani to crush you guys kpata kpata. If you say Niger Delta Republic is just an online dream, then we go sit down for una matter. Let's see how yall will actualize Biafra with your runaway terrorist Dog, lamidi cownu.

Can't believe I actually once admired these people. I'm Anioma and I might even punch any nigger who pulls up and mention to me that I'm igbo. Igbos make me sick. toxic murthafuckas who behave recklessly, you never understand them.

If na enemy una Wan make, we won't mind being your enemies. By the time we're done with you people, Fulani would be child's play

See unraveling...

Good and fine.
But you have to know you have your own "Ikwerre" problem right in Ibeno and Eastern Obolo.
If given the choice to choose, they would cut you Ibibio and Annang off and proclaim independence too, like you Ibibios have cut Cross River off.
So I would advise you all calm down.
I hope this your quest for Ibom country is not hinged on offshore oil wealth in Ibeno and Eastern Obolo, because you might get a rude awakening.
Be sure you are ready to still have this Ibom country with or without Eastern Obolo and Ibeno, because the way I see it, that's likely going to be the outcome. The FG will simply give Eastern Obolo and Ibeno autonomy from you hinterland Annang and Ibibios, and your game will be up.
And the Oron seem to want their own independence too.
There was an Oron guy here in 2009 who was campaigning for Oron independent country, and you have to know that Oron feel more affiliated to Efik than to you Ibibios and Annangs.
From my angle here, your Ibom country is standing on shaky ground and wouldn't be very hard to squash using fissure lines already existing in the state by deploying efficient divide and rule tactics.

Well.
The Ibibio and Annang are getting greedy in this Ibom independent country by thinking they can cut off their brothers in Cross River after stripping them of their oil through legal litigations( not many people Know that Cross River currently don't produce a single ounce of oil, she lost all her offshore fields to Akwaibom in a bitter legal battle).

What they(Ibibio/Annang) don't know is that Ibeno and Eastern Obolo people don't see themselves as Ibibio. They had developed their own independent ethnicities and are constantly bickering about Ibibio and Annang using their oil wealth to develop Uyo and Ikot Ekpene.

If you conduct a referendum today in Akwaibom, the Obolo and Ibeno people would vote for their own independent state, (the Ijaws are even there in Ibeno and Obolo, introducing more trouble) Likewise the Oron. Take away Eastern Obolo and Oron from Akwaibom and Akwaibom will become "almost" (Ikot Abasi has access to ocean though) landlocked and would lose all her current offshore oil claim.

The way I see it, the Ibibio/Annang are the beneficiaries of current Nigerian arrangement.
If they push their luck too much with this Ibom country thing, Nigerian government who gave them Akwa Ibom will take it away by giving autonomy to Obolo and Ibeno and instigating Ibibiophobia there.
Oron already have their own follow come Ibibiophobia and always wanted to be with Efiks who they are more related with.

Ibibio are not in position to be chanting Ibom republic and be greedily excluding Cross River while counting on Ibeno and Obolo oil wealth that doesn't belong to Ibibios.
It's madness.

I hope they realize early and stop the greed by going back to the more inclusive AkwaCross union that we( Ndiigbo) always wanted to see.

I attached the map of Akwaibom for you to see my point.
Atleast 90% of Akwaibom oil wealth is offshore. They don't have much onshore oil Wells. Take away Eastern Obolo and Ibeno and Oron who are not Ibibios and it's game over!

Hmm. Very critical arrangement.



But they can all sit together and have agreements concerning distribution of the oil wealth.


However, I've not seen or heard much concerning Ibeno and Obolo wanting a separate entity. Oron, yes.

U must be mistaking Oron for Ibeno Yes Oron are a sub-group of Efik in AKS. If you read the link of the thread that explained the differences in detail. U would've read that people like U equate Oron & Eket to "Ikwerre denial". But I took time to explain & I will again.
Oron practice the exact same traditions, beliefs like Efik. Though their language is like Efik language mixed with another difficult to understand language which is why they speak Efik as their 2nd language.
Eket are a sub-group of Ibibio their dialect is like Oron version of Ibibio, which is why they speak normal Ibibio as a 2nd language.
Ibeno 1LGA is a part of Eket that their dialect is like Eket influence by Obolo language, becos they're betwn Eket & Obolo. But just like Eket, they practice the same traditions and beliefs like Ibibio.
Since Eket dialect is like Ibibio influence by Oron because some of their LGA are close to each other. Oron used to be closer a bit to Eket out of all the other Ibibio groups, they felt that Eket were not truly Ibibios but just decided to be counted as Ibibio during the colonial period for influence.
But that relationship went SOUR during the war, allegedly when a top general of Eket sold Oron out to be Bomb That was when Oron realized that Eket were true Ibibios.
We Ibibios don't claim any tribe that's not Ibibio. Also Oron get along with Annang than Ibibios. It's the same resentment that Efik has against Ibibio, is what Oron has. If not for the Cross River dividing their land, Oron should've been part of CRS. If the Ibom republic included Efik. The insult in this thread, would have been Extreme.
Actually 2state was to be carved out of the former CRS. Akwa Ibom & Itai State for Annang. For now Annang have some understanding with Ibibios, but tomorrow Annangs can campaign for their Itai State kingdom. It wouldn't change anything, because all those groups weren't part of Ibibio State Union. Only different Ibibio subgroup were part of it.
Obolo is just 1small LGA & Oron wants to form a nation with them, it's the Obolos that want to include the 1Ibeno LGA. But Oron knowing that Ibeno is a part of Eket, and learning their lesson from the past, will not be comfortable with that. Including Ibeno would be like including Ibibio that they want to separate from
Finally there's nothing like "AKWA CROSS" that's just term that was form in 2009 to market Ibibio language movie made in AKS in Cross River State. They often included 1-2character speaking Efik in the movie. If you Google Efik & Ibibio, u will read the extreme degoratory insult by Orons & Efiks, saying that Ibibios are stealing & wearing Efik outfit & tradition like Ekpe..etc. Including the "Calabar people", they say Ibibios are claiming to be Calabar people & becoming house boys to tarnish the true Calabar peoples image
Not realizing that it's strangers like U that insist on this false labels and viewing us all as the same people in denial

Hmm. Very very interesting. So there's actually a divide between Erik and Ibibio? Is this divide that pronounced? Because from an outsider's perspective such divide hardly exists. I actually thought Efik would go with Ibom republic as default. Many AKS people like to form familiarity with Efik CRS people here like you guys are best of companions. So Efik is not going too? I'd think not though.

Again, I must ask, in all honesty, if AKS groups like Ibibio, Annang, Oron, Eket, Ibeno all have similar culture and language then why are they so standoffish with each other? It's shocking. Give me some insights please. Thank you.

There has always been a huge divide between Efik and Ibibios; that's why AKS was created out of the old CRS. The resentment is extreme with constant degoratory comments, when ever the 2groups are mentioned together. Infact just go through my post history replies to as recently as last year.

Again like I said Eket & Ibeno are a sub-group of Ibibio. They're like Ikwerre version of Ibibio without the denials.
Obolo is ijaw, Oron is a sub-group of Efik & so holds similar resentment of Efik against Ibibio. Annang are a separate group with their own unique culture etc... All these groups can be comparable to Ijaws and Igalas living with Igbos in the same state/area and influencing each other especially in language & food. But still maintaining most of their unique cultural identities and beliefs... etc.

Just like us the Igbos have the Ngwas, Bendes, Afikpos, Nris, mbise, Orlu, Wawas, Akwa and many other clusters that form the IBO group.
The language varies deeply compare to the dialect spoken in Akwaibom down to Southern cross river.
The word AkwaCross predates any movie industry, it is what has been used since the creation of Akwaibom mainly by all former indigenes of CrossRiver living in Lagos, Rivers, Pleateu etc states whenever they have meetings.
In lagos since the 1990s it is a well know group in different part of the state with members my father, uncles being one.

When the Ibibio Union was formed in 1914 or thereabout, there was nothing like Ibibio, Anang, Oron, Eket the merchant of light that were sent on scholarship to Europe were all under the Ibibios umbrella.
The man that introduced the ethnic divide into the AkwaCross region was Nnamdi Azikiwe simply to spite and divide the agitation of the COR( Calabar Ogoja Rivers) proponents, the Obong of Calabar being at the front.

He created Chiefs and recognized them while nothing of such was done in the core IBO areas where the Obi lord over.
