most ikwerre and some ika amongst others have maintained they are not igbo and as long as some igbo keep insisting they are then it appears that some igbo are forcefully trying to get them to acknowledge igbo ethnicity .please note that i am not here to argue about who is wrong or right ,i am just pointing out the fact that this is a controversial issue .


You are only interested in the microscopic few who deny Igbo identity. How about those that have always identified as Igbo from Diobu to Igbanke.
Ndigbo do not lay claim to groups that are not Igbo. Okrika people are not Igbo and there has never been any Igbo claiming them. It is very different in the Ikwerre/Ika classification

@Ama-diva. Your post is nonsensical. Can you show me where Igbo people have been claiming Okrika. Can you show us documents or any evidence where Igbo people claim you and your people. Have the Okrika people ever invited to join Ohanaeze. Do Igbo people give Igbo awards to Okrika people. Have you ever seen Okrika people at Ahiajoku lectures or Iri ji festivals.
FYI, Ndigbo do not claim non-Igbo people. Though rest of Nigeria see you and your people as Igbo. Hence, stop the madness.

@Mekus: Thanks for your last post.

Should fathers participate in Omugwo?. I think there should be gender equality.

Ibime:
Igbo states are lagging behind in infrastructure - an effect of long and premeditated neglect of the area by the FG. You cannot expect an Igbo state to boast the same kind of Infrastructure as Lagos, PH and Abuja who have received more than their fair share of Federal funding. . . . on any other level, Igbo states are comparable to all other states we have in Naija.

Well said.

Kobojunkie:
Ofcourse I am he@Meku. Yes, because in your mind, everyone is like and thinks like you do, right? And as soon as we dare not think as you do, we all have to be lumped together in some way for your mind to be at ease, right?

Nonsense.

Dangote should use his millions to improve the lives of Almajiris in Hausaland and Yorubaland.

@Kobo or nairajonkie or whatever your useless is, you should be more concerned about your area not Igboland. You should be ashamed to continue to post here after all the photographs and other samples forumites have posted here. Fo.ols like you only live either in Ibadan or Lagos and do not visit your hamlets.

Is this Argy team intimidating?. Opinions please.

World Cup 2010: Argentina Squad - Diego Milito Makes It Into Maradona’s Final 23-Man Squad
Inter star Diego Milito makes the final 23…

Diego Maradona (Goal.com/Pauly)
According to the Argentinian news agency Telam, Diego Maradona has settled on his final 23-man squad for this summer's FIFA World Cup in South Africa and the biggest surprise came with the inclusion of Inter Milan forward Diego Milito.

Despite Milito’s breathtaking form for Inter this season, leaving the club on the verge of a historic treble, the 30-year-old looked unlikely to make the cut. With Maradona thought to have already decided to take five forwards to South Africa, it was widely thought amongst the Argentinian media that Milto would miss out in favour of Boca Juniors veteran Martin Palermo. However, in typically erratic fashion, Maradona has pulled a U-turn and elected to take the Inter man to South Africa after all.

Elsewhere, there will be relieved looks on the faces of Colon defender Ariel Garce and especially Palermo midfielder Javier Pastore. The 20-year-old has enjoyed an impressive season in Serie A for the Rosanero but is yet to earn a single cap for his country (his one appearance in an Argentina shirt came in the friendly with Catalonia and was not recognised by FIFA).

On-loan Liverpool midfielder Maxi Rodriguez will also breathe a sigh of relief. For much of the year, the Atletico Madrid man looked certain to miss and will feel vindicated in his decision to find more first-team action at Anfield.

The players cut from Maradona’s original list of 30 are Ezequiel Lavezzi (Napoli) Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle) Jesus Datolo (Olympiakos), Jose Sosa (Estudiantes), Juan Mercier (Argentinos), Sebastian Blanco (Lanus) and Juan Insaurralde (Newell’s).

Of those unlucky seven, Olympiakos winger Jesus Datolo will probably feel most unfortunate to lose his seat on the plane. The former Boca star, on-loan from Napoli, consistently impressed when called upon by Diego, scoring a marvellous goal against Brazil in qualification and grabbing once against Russian in a friendly match in Moscow.

Why Mekus all the time. Have you ever called BK/BABE to order at all?. Do not be partial.

Eziachi:
Sorry, I know you meant well, but that will the end of cyber world privacy. And again I will have to leave nairaland for good, which I don't want to.

Is your son C. E. formerly at Brighton University.

It is very unfortunate U. Yar'adua has fallen asleep, but where do you think his soul is. In heaven or in hell?.

Laa na udo
Laa na udo
Umaru Musa Yar'adua la n'udo.

Shame to you all tribalists.
What a shame that because of only one man-Mekus, all the tribalist have gathered here to swallow him.
He has proved to you all that he is smarter than you lots, shameless tribalists.

Before this thread turns to something else, you all have to note that Chinenye has not denied his Igbo origin. I know in other threads he has floored those guys with identity crisis. The proposed Aba state is not an entirely Ngwa state but consist of Ndokis, Ohambeles, Asas etc. It is to the advantage of Ndigbo to have additional states including Aba state.

@Mekussxx
and u sayin u hv bin sleepin wit a yoruba chik since is in bad taste, u r a cheap kiss and tell. Bt den since its braggin time. If only u kno wat we do to all thoe ibo chicks in lagos u will think twice abt payin that ridiculos bride price. U also kno dat when it comes 2 havin women, yoruba men are 2gbaski! we r silver tongued and den dispose those babes wit complains abt nt bin able 2 pay dere bride prices (shuldnt b sayin dis here, lettin our secrets out)

This M.oron intends to derail this topic. Please smell away from here as you have got nothing sensible to write. I.diot.

Since his arrival in nairaland, he has shown that he is an Igbo hater. He insults the Igbo apex body-Ohanaeze, he insults individuals and not only that, he insults the ethnic group.
As a consequence, I am out to match him fire for fire as the UNDESIRABLE ELEMENT deserves no peace even in his grave.

@Sonya: Umuede or Umunede, Umuahia, Rumuokoro, Umuelemai, Umuelem etc, no matter where you come, you are an Igbo man. It is pointless for a bigoted ape like you to differ.I.DI.OT.

bk/babe99:
Wow for real??!!? Damn, thats sad!!! What wont these Ibo people do?!!?

This may be pathetic but what is the point of giving it a tribal face. This is not the first time in Africa, as it has happened in Hausa and Yoruba lands in the past.
@the poster, for once , quit your inflammatory anti-Igbo post so that people will know that you were fed through a feeding bottle and not through your mother's rectum.

Richard Mofe-Damijo is non-Igbo but knows that Ika people are Ndigbo. While he was addressing Anioma people last year at their cultural festival, regarded Ika etc as Igbo people. No objection from any one present on that occasion.
It is a pity that such a Simpleton called Sonya will differ here. Shame to the freaking BAS.TARD.

sonya4all:
@andre and aba,i think the both of u are either bats or cant understand the diference btw who and where,i ask where is he from,tell me his village since u knw delta state wella,ewobi

You son of a prostitute. Richard M-Damijo is from Delta State but non-Igbo. He is a commissioner while you are a nobody. Such a mystical beast like you has no business here. Get lost zombie.

sjeezy8:
YES babes from Delta are the finest in all of Nigeria I tinks

Just the Delta Igbo.

Yet Offa, Ilorin, Ondo, Kaba, Egba, Ijebu, and Ekiti people are all regarded as Yorubas. So what is wrong with the Igbo groups?. Take it or leave it, Ika people are Igbo people just as Mbaise, Asaba, Ngwa, Udi, Afikpo and Ndoki are Igbo.

@Sonya or what ever dumb name you are called, you must be an I.DI.OT for spelling Igbon instead of Igbo. You beast of no gender should quit posting as your plague-filled moronic brain has got nothing to offer. I spit on your post and will soon spit on your grave. slowpoke.

@Umuopara: Massob is a non confrontational and non violent group. Do not rump them into the Jos crises. Perhaps you meant Bakassi.

It is good the statue was stolen. The arrested man should be released immediately. He did Nigerians an honour by removing what in the first place ought not to be erected.

I can't believe that you have not heard of Achuzia before. Any way he is an Igbo chieftain and the last Secretary-general of Ohanaeze ndi Igbo. He is the most famous Delta Igbo.

18 platoon:
i will be glad to have ref. so that all those igbos (traders in the day, robbers at nigth(got a prove) will get expelled from my beloved region.

May Ogbunigwe scatter those your parkinson-disease infested fingers that typed the above. If you have nothing to offer in this thread,you should not come in. You son of a prostituting mother.
