The Ebonyi people are the simplest of Igbos. They are like other tribes. They are unique in that way and I am proud of that.

If you don't like them, then it's best they cut you off like the Ikwerres, the Opobos, the Delta Igbo have done. Those Igbos would rather perish than accept they are Igbo. You know I am saying the truth.

Those "igbos" claim they are descendants of the Benin empire. Since the Ebonyi people are of Benue and Cross River descent, perhaps it's time they showed you the door.

"He who thinks he is something when he is nothing is deceiving himself" as the apostle Paul said.

This Igbo pride by some here is fuelling the tribal wars on Nairaland. If you could tear down your own tribe, non-Igbos are therefore game. I hate chestbeating.
So you can’t see the idiot is not Igbo?

You are letting commissioned agents who want to divide Igbos deceive you?

You are so so wrong on your assumptions. Ebonyi was once part of Imo and Abia States and have always been as Igbo as every Igbo in Nigeria. The first time I learnt of any form of detogatory term about Ebonyi was at Onitsha but never in Owerri, Aba or Umuahia. I think the Ebonyi issue has more to do with inclusion of old Abakaliki division in old Anambra State instead of Imo State or even Crossriver State of old. While the Afikpo division under Imo State felt at home with other Igbos of Aba, Umuahia and Owerri division, the Abakaliki division in Anambra were marginalized by old Onitsha, Awka and Enugu divisions.

Ogbonnaya Onu was from Ebonyi south that was part of old Abia and initially part of old Imo state.
Ogbonnaya Onu was a governor of old Abia State.
The whole talk of Igbos marginalizing Ebonyi is nonsense that Igbophobes like hearing.
Umahi was the governor of SE governors forum for years.
Akanu Ibiam who Enugu International airport was named after and who was the governor of old Eastern region was from Ebonyi state.
Anyim Pius Anyim who represented SE when SE rotated the Senate president between 1999 to 2007 is from Ebonyi state.
When it was Ebonyi turn to produce Ohaneze Ndiigbo president, Chief Enwo Igariwey represented Ebonyi as Ohaneze Ndiigbo president.

Then why are they discriminated by other Ibo people ?

It's because they are the least passionate to become wealthy. They live a simple life.

Do you know the meaning of Ebonyi and how it became to be known as the name of one of the five SE states ?

Let me educate you .

Ebonyi is from old Latin meaning Black wood. Its anglaziced version is Ebony which some misguided Africans have taken it up to mean black beauty .

The state Ebonyi is named after a river that criss-crosses the state and empties into the Cross River and then into the Niger Delta estuaries onto the Atlantic.

So who named the river in question "Ebonyi"which the state derives its name from?

Well it so happened to be Jewish slavers who used the Ebonyi river to navigate from the coast deep into Ibo land from where they dealt directly with the Aro Slavers that terrorised the breadth and lenght of Ibo land. Using the river to get to their fellow Ibo slavers thus bypassing the middlemen at the coast who charged more than treble the cost of one Ibo slave.

The name Ebonyi was chosen for this route by Jewish slavers in mockery of their intended cargo - black wood.

But what has black wood got to do with Slave trade ?

Because the Jews treated their Ibo slave cargo as nothing but mere logs of wood - stacked upon each other and by the sides.

It is for this bitter reason the Ebonyi Ibo who were never Ibo but a combination of modern day Benue and Cross River tribes were preyed upon by the savage Ibo that surrounded them and why till this day the majority of Ibos do not consider them as bonafide Ibos.

Story .

So Umahi was spreading propaganda when he lamented on the systematic discrimination Ebonyi Ibos face among the larger Ibo population.

What I have found out about you guys is how you blatantly lie even when confronted with the truth.

I don't know why reasonable Igbos are easily lured to threads/traps as this one, just to start a conversation on a non issue. Same way they lured you to discuss Ikechukwu Ogalla, Chief of Naval Staff.


The more you contribute and explain in a thread like this the more your detractors laugh and validate the imaginary division in Igboland.

Ignore this sort of thread and they'll stop opening it, please.

OP so what are you trying to achieve with this thread? Create tribal division or what?

Please don't come creating more tribal division for us. Our brother and sisters we lost to Rivers State due to rubbish propaganda like this peddled by Gowon and his blood bathing aides during the civil war is enough for us.

Wether half or fully Igbos Ebonyi people are Igbos. They agreed the are igbos and we Igbos from other state know they are igbos and love them as our own. So rest. Or you do something meaningful with your time. Thank you.

They.. the OP folks, used to have a monopoly on propaganda and deceit…. But in 2023 they ain’t fooling anybody. The Op should have spent their time doing some much needed PR for BALABULLU… and not trying to create a fictional account of Igbo people.

The OP should note that the British created two Nigger Areas- one North the other South, with different flags and administrators- thus, two nations….. before joining them and giving them a single Coat of Arms and all…

So the fact that the OP refers to himself as a Nigerian means he is still a slave and using a derogatory racist word….

Let him ponder on that

Don't you guys consider Ebonyi people as either inferior ibos or not ibos ?

I just found out your problems and it is your refusal to accept the truth and this has led to your denials and victimhood status.

I wrote here long ago when I was still supporting Biafra , that the only way you ibos can get Biafra is when you apologise to the SS people for all the atrocities you committed on them.

But you guys refuse to acknowledge your wrongs but rather blame everyone for your defeat where you were the evil ones coveting power and land that does not belong to you

What atrocities? Oh the atrocity of accepting Frank Opigo- an Ijaw to name or rename their nation Biafra? The atrocity of appointing Generals from “South South” like Archibong, Nsudoh, Effiong, Achuzie and prominent civilians from “South South” into top positions in Biafra?

Oh it was the atrocities for naming Provisional governors/admins from “minority” areas to lead minority areas abi? Or station soldiers to defend minority areas from the likes of Buhari and Abacha that would loot all their money in petroleum trust funds abi or hang their leaders like Sawa Wiwa, or kill their Boys like Boro although he wore Naija for life uniform….. or level their towns like Odi….or deal away their land like Bakassi….or pollute their ancestral farmlands with stolen oil spills….?

Igbos should learn to ignore mischievous threads. Most people in our society are just evil and wicked entities. Very shallow set of things that can't come up with positive ideas but thrive in tribalistic posts. All negative topics towards Igbos are mostly out of envy and bitterness. People who can happily vote in misfits and evil politicians shouldn't be taken seriously.
Nigeria is in its present state because there are large numbers of wicked and evil minded fellows who just promote archaic reasoning and bitterness. I just hope the society grows intellectually so as to reduce the number of archaic individuals polluting the society.
