Although this is a good plan, I suggest you could also create this in tandem with already established groups. The Igbo history since 3000 BC group or something like that on Facebook already have big followings with representatives from different Igbo groups. You can work with them with this specific goal in mind.

You don't even need to go in search of these people. Many are already there...but yeah, that's a good idea.

SlayerForever:



Okay. There are ways we can definitely work with them. However a limitation is that this already existing groups were not necessarily made to pool resources and carry out projects in this neglected communities.

Pass11:

I think for me we should contact those admins of those groups and tell them about our project and what and how we plan to unite with those communities let's see what they will say.

SlayerForever:



Okay. We would need a page though any which way, true?

gidgiddy:


Yeah, we Igbos will continue with a name attached to a British officers girlfriend that has since become poverty capital of the world, third most terrorised country on earth and 147 most corrupt nation on earth

Yeah, I can see why a lot of people would love to be part of such a lovely country

SlayerForever:



Yes. Okugbe is headed by an Isoko monarchy. But I am made to understand this monarchy is wrongfully exercising authority over their Igbo neighbors in Osekwenike, Abuetor and others, even going as far as misrepresenting them in the government house.

This has been resisted, sometimes leading to violence.

So I know about it.

isokomarine:
major problem of igbo is you people lack basic knowledge

Only job Ndigbo have is to claim isoko territories up and down

Igbo brethren I have successfully identified two President General of Osekwenike and Abuetor Comrs. Anthony Okorie and Lovely Agwor.

isokomarine:
it time igbo should stop claiming isoko land

Miracle2020:
those minorities has already told you to leave them alone. The same way thaiwan told China.
You cannot force them to be igbos. The minorities has seen what is in your mind, you want to claim them because of the little oil you see in their backyard.

SlayerForever:
Can we form an Igbo outreach group made up of proud Igbos of Nairaland that would be a vehicle for reconnecting Igbo clans across Nigeria?

Supremos has forwarded this recommendation. I support and if I have the backing I will go ahead to create an Igwebuike Outreach page. What do you all think?

Ekealterego, gidgiddy, pass11, Ariani and others too numerous to mention.

Brimstone77:
which minority are you talking about please??

Hope you typed that shit with your brain intact??

SlayerForever:




It seems you checked up Comr. Anthony Okorie.


Nwagozu, Okorie : This is an Igbo community all through. Interestingly the Isoko continued to claim this communities as theirs through one unscrupulous Isoko monarch in a neighboring community.

Ariani:
These Igbo people in Bayelsa will not come out and be proud of it, because they sense no strong dedicated leadership in SE that could bankroll them against the formidable Izons!

Establish a strong Igbo nationalistic movement bankrolled by contributions of Igbo sons scattered all over the world and in Nigeria, with total commitment to empowering these groups if they bend the knee to the Igbo nation Noble cause and watch pendulum swing!

This is something we can do!

Umunnem, Igwebuike!

isokomarine:
your claim of Isoko community will not lead igbo where, so stop misleading the public

Ariani:


They are Igbos already. Nature made them so.
You can't tell an Okorie from Abia, Okoye from Anambra and Anioma, to leave an Okoye in Bayelsa alone for Ijaw and Isoko people, without atleast making attempt to woo Okorie back to the fold.

You are the thief here!
What is the Link between an Ijaw man and an Okorie?
Are you okay at all?

Ariani:


Osekwenike is Igbo while Abuetor is Isoko.
That's what I have discovered from my little investigation so far.

I can't see much info on Okpokiri on Google search.

Looks like these communities (Abuetor, Okpokiri and Osekwenike) are similar to those Isoko/Ndokwa co inhabited towns in Ndokwa East LGA of Delta State.
Isoko people has been laying claim to those communities. Ndiigbo lacking in real nationalist movement since Igbo Union died in 1966 at hands of the drunkard Ironsi, have been sleeping on top bike.

SlayerForever:


What is Okugbe? Where did you see Okugbe there?

BKayy:

With your 2,000 population?
Yes, bring it on. We will show you in practicals what we learnt exactly.
That there is no honor in war.
No designated person to attack.
Consider all the ethnic group as soldiers.
So it is up to you people. You can take the brunt for others sha if you like

Ariani:


Interesting.
This where we need a strong well funded Aggressive Igbo nationalism movement, to reach out to such individuals, oil their palms if need be, do some community projects in the community and Mount a sign board indicating that it was done by an Igbo body in the spirit of Igbo brotherhood.
Simple things like renovation of their dilapidated community primary and secondary school, providing chairs that would have logo and Igbo tag well printed on it.
These things are not hard, the only thing missing is the purposeful leadership.

Ekealterego:


They are not the only group. There is a smaller group called, "Buseni". I know like one or two personally, although I have not been in contact for a long time. Many of them speak some form of Igbo and even dress Igbo sometimes. They even have Igbo surnames. But they are so small that they have mixed with people around them. Even their chiefs still wear the traditional isi-agu right there in Bayelsa.
However, to be fair they just identify as "Buseni" and probably also speak other couple of native languages in addition. They are small and have been absolved. I can't call them Igbo completely but yeah..
