See, I don’t have strength for long epistle so I’m going straight to the point.

Every time there’s any talk of Igbos in Delta and Rivers, some people here will say there are no Igbos in those areas and that Igbo names doesn’t translate to being Igbos.

According to them, the Ngozi in Rivers who speaks Igbo fluently is Ijaw while only the Ngozi in Owerri is Igbo.

If you ask them why they are making such argument? They will say that those people have said they are not Igbos.

Then you remind them of people like Amaechi and Okowa who have told the world they are Igbo, and they will still say it’s a lie, that they are making the statement out of political exigencies.

But ironically, these same people believe and agree that the Bukola in Kwara (Northern Nigeria) is not different from Bukola in Akure (Southwest Nigeria).

Why?

Brave one

The Yoruba in Kwara claim Yoruba

Come back to talk nonsense

Ifeanti Okowa identifies as Igbo

Why bring the Yorubas into this argument? Are we the ones disagreeing the existence of Igbos in the SS? The people who don't agree with you are the ones you're trying to force Igbo tribe on, not Yorubas.

---

Anyone with a functioning brain would know that Kwara is a Yoruba land. The Yorubas in Kogi state are also Yorubas. They don't need to be reminded or forced to accept that they're Yorubas. We don't force people. You are the ones lumping people who don't want to be recognized as being part of you together.

---

Every Yoruba man/woman has the Moluabi spirit and don't need to be forced. The Ikwerres and the Ikas don't believe they're Igbos. Deal with that. If you had any useful historical records, perhaps you'll not be here asking this mumu question. You'd have tutored anyone who disagrees.

Why?

It is not the fault of the Yoruba people but due to the insistence of the Rivers people and some Delta people to identify NOT as Igbo.

All Rivers people don't identify as Igbo, but speak very clear Igbo language.

Some Delta people don't identify as Igbo but want to be known by the name of the community from which they come from. (though some other Delta persons actually and truly identify as Igbo). So essentially, Delta Igbo people are divided, some are in, some are out. Rivers entirely, want to be out.


It is on the realization of how these states choose to identify with, that Yoruba people latch onto it to mock Igbo people.


If Kwara people deny Yoruba, Igbo people can latch onto it too to mock Yoruba, sadly they don't.
