Anambra is igala and bini land
Ebonyi is onye awusa
Enugu is igala land by conquest
Only imo and Abia are core igbo

Igbo is a forced ethnic group

Imo is ijaw and Abia is Ibibio.
There is no Igbo people at all. We don’t exist. That’s what you really want, isn’t it. Now you can come and descend on us and take our ancestral land.

In fact the Igbo language doesn’t exist, it’s just Yoruba words stolen even when Yoruba is younger than Igbo ethnicity. Igala is younger than the Igbo ethnicity. Hausa is younger. But still Igbo is still not real.

In fact we were all forced to call ourselves Igbo that is why we always discuss how we would not swap our Igbo identity for anything.

And it is not as of there are 100s of ethnic groups in Africa that really became United in the early 20th century. Nah it’s only Igbo. It is not as if Ijebu didn’t only consider themselves Yoruba in the late 19th century. It’s not as if thousands of tribes speaking different languages and having different culture are all called Ijaw somehow. And of cause whilst Enugu is considered Igala due to defeated Igala incursions, and Igbo incursions into Igalaland are ignored even when the land was indigenously Igbo, Illorin is still considered Yoruba even though it was permanently taken by Fulani invaders.

The Ibibio, Igala, Yoruba, Edo, Izon and Efik people who used Igbo blacksmiths from Awka(Oka) didn’t see them as Igbo. Nah. Just Igala.

In fact all these passages I am about to post are lies.

“tying two wrappers“


Many Borno Women tie 2 Wrappers

Does that make them Igbo?

Is Igbo really an ethnicity?

This question has been burgling the mind of many people....

○Well according to some historians ,Igbo was not strictly an ethnicity but a political creation of the year 1878 by some British explorers...

Igbo, a corrupted form of Ibo was a conglomeration of different ethnicities either franchised or forcefully...

The requirements to become igbo are as follows...

1) having just one or two similarities..

2) tying two rappers..

3) having four market days..

4) geographically living around same territory..

5) Having crude oil..

6) jealous of supernatural power,,, average Ibo man is jealous when others having supernatural powers to win wars when his own ibo cannot....he will be jealous and used social media power to grabbed such power performing ethnicity or country... This was the basic reason they claimed Israel and Ijaw that are far different from their ibo....

These are the six criteria to become igbo..

○because Another historian said:
"Igbo is not an ethnicity or tribe but a politically franchise."
"Anyone can be igbo... Japanese, India, Israeli man can be igbo as far as he or she can meet up with any of the requirements list above".


Today happening in igbo land has proven the historians correct...

Example
1) some of the ethnicities like Abakaliki, Mbaise, Ikwere, Onitsha, Afikpo, Nsukka, Anioma, that were franchised and forced into igbo now rejecting it and fighting for their freedom

2) Igbo freedom fighter called Nammdi Kanu had said at several occasions that "any ethnicity where women tie two rappers will automatically become Igbo...

3) nnamdi kanu said because women from niger delta ethnicities tied two rappers so they are all Igbos including Itshekiri and Ijon that are far different from his Ibo in every nature including mindsets..

4) A great man as Dave Umahi once said and I quote " we ebonyians can't be part of igbo again because Igbos marginalizing us"....

5) some few igbo youth still held that political igbo franchise believe 'so they said Ibibios, Efiks, Annangs, Urhobos, are all igbos because of few similarities...


6) the funny side.... Igbo youth still extend the political igbo franchise belief to say Israels or Israelis and Ijaws or Ijawans, rihanna and Akon are also igbos... funny... �...


What the historians told and the mindset of the average Ibo now have answered the question in your mind and my mind that 'igbo is not an ethnicity created by God almighty but a false ethnicity created by politicians in the year of 1878 with a criteria to join...

See why igbo is a man made ethnicity of 1878, unlike ethnicities like Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri, Ibibio, Urhobo, Efik, Benin, Nupe etc that were created by Jehovah God himself during creation..

This is reason igbo doesn't have a root, so igbo youth of today claimed even what is unable to be claimed, just because they are confused.. now, their latest claiming is Haitians....

So people from those ethnicities igbos of today claiming shouldn't be surprised at these people sudden animalistic behavior, it because their ethnicity is franchised one created by human...

This post is only to enlightened those igbos of today claiming their ethnicities as part of theirs... because their next claimed will be Russia..



This post is a reason I made my own post about who really is Igbo.

We will dissect this post piece by piece.

Firstly you claim Igbo was an identity created in 1878 by British explorers when an Igbo man Olaudah Equiano claimed to be Igbo in his book published in 1789. You have already lost there.

Then you claim Igbo was a conglomeration of ethnicities forced into it. Wrong. Simply Igbo was a way of describing people who knew they were independent of each other however still acknowledged that everyone else is Igbo within the same sphere you claim is not Igbo.

As Baikie puts it, everyone from this great race goes by their individual names but when away from home they are all Igbo. In other words there was an implication that an Igbo person is not at home when they call themselves Igbo. But this context as changed and so has the acceptance of the name Igbo.

It is possible to objectively find out of someone is Igbo. However the reason people say Rihanna is Igbo is because of MISINFORMATION from Nigerian media that SHE claimed she was Igbo. Anyway indeed there are several things that mark Igbo identity. One of which is 4 market days which has either been borrowed from us or is in possession of an Igbo clan. However several of these factors PUT TOGETHER makes you Igbo including the LANGUAGE Igbo.

But it is very important to note that the Ijaw you unsparingly referenced are considered one yet speak drastically different languages, have drastically different cultures and origins yet are all considered to exist as Ijaw to you. Very funny.

Also very funny, you add having crude oil as a requirement of being Igbo when according to Nigerians it is like having crude oil disqualifies you as Igbo. All you have done really is notice that one Igbo in Mbaise, Nsukka or Arochukwu is no more Igbo than those of Ukwani, Enuani, Ikwerre etc. Now you are going on a tangent of picking extreme cases to turn it into an “Igbo doesn’t exist” rant instead of acknowledging that Igbo is not what you thought it was. Literally parts of Igboland thought to hold more oil have been separated from the rest.
