This is mine.
‎"My point is that the only authentic identity for the African is the ethnicity, I am Nigerian because a white man created Nigeria and gave me that identity. I am black because the white man constructed black to be as different as possible from his white. But I was Igbo before the white man came."- Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

What is yours?

Nice speech but the highlighted is wrong.
U only had Ndi Arochukwu, Onicha, Ngwa, Igbo Ukwu etc
I dont think they all refered to themselves as Ndigbo.

The Igbo tribal group was also an invention on the white man as well which originated probably for Igbo Ukwu

Same with Yoruba, U had Oyo, Ife, Egba, Owo, Ijebu etc
The white man probably came and grouped the 2gether as Yoruba.
