Male.

Ibos will never stop claiming people!


:::::SMH:::::

Ngozi Okonjo is Igbo from Ogwashi-Ukwu and married to Dr Iweala, an Igbo from Abia state. Igbo people do not claim non Igbo people.
Stop this your hatred for anything Igbo.

^^^ Tony tetuila is from lagos, he just went to Kwara poly, doesnt make him a Kwaran

Isnt Rashidi from Ibadan?


Why una trying to claim people


Are you Igbo?

Yekini is from Kwara state. He came to Ibadan when the then IICC Shooting Stars signed him from DIC Bees of Kaduna.
You are the one claiming other people.

gbewu:
politics is now a lucrative bisness that people just resign from banks and other jobs to join and these people are desperate to make sure that they have the mandate. Even Mimiko a medical doctor left his profession and play do or die politics. Now I heard that all the thugs in Ondo State have been blessed with new cars to pave way for labour party.Anyway power of incubence is on it. But people should be very careful not to cause comotion in Idanre and Owo.Or else, state of emergency will be declared. And this will put an end to the reign of labour party.

Nice.

@Abagworo.
I have read archived text of the Ndokis and it links to Bini migration.
Having said that, I have interacted a lot with Ndokis. Last Christmas, I was invited to their end of year party in London. Even the immediate past president of Igbo Youths U.K is an Ndoki chap from Rivers state.
There may be some element of Truth in your assertion but I will not accept the Ijaw theory which is being propagated by the Ijaws.

^^^
I disagree with the Ijaw linkage of Ndoki people. In Lagos and Ondo states where Ijaws have links, names, language and occupation are easily traceable. But in Ndokiland, it is virtually non existent.
There are Ndoki villages in Ibibioland especially Ika and Etim Ekpo LGA's but not the other way round.

Perhaps, a state of emergency should be declared before the situation spills out of hand. Silly politicians.

^^^Last Easter period.
But I will be there soon as I will be going to Owerri to present cash and gifts from members of the Igbo Youths U.K to the Centre for sickle cell and child stroke.
We did a fund raiser two weeks ago for this centre and a lot was raised.

people can't be playing silly character assassination because of politics.

I hear Usmanov(Arsenal shareholder) has toppled Roman on the Russian rich-list. . .

Usmanov is not Russian but Uzbekistani. He is worth £300 million. He is far from being a billionaire.

Andre nwanna, the P square brothers are from Ifite Dunu in Dunukofia Local Government of Anambra State.

Thanks.

People should be careful about comments they make about our head of state.

PhysicsRND:
How about infamous people? That would be a more interesting list.

Also, are Nollywood actors really "great"? Be honest.

Then, start with your own state.

naijaking1:
Our republican nature as Igbos made sense when we were widely spread out across the land, not any more, not in this internet, facebook, and tweeter age.
Recent geopolitical events since the 1960s to date seem to show that the umbrella Igbo group Ohaneze is not even political enough. With time, this group will come to substitute for our lack of central monarchy, and present Igbos numerical superiority for what it ought to be.
The Iwa-ji festivals are not the only prerogative of the Ohaneze.

WELL SAID SIR.

Good for him, we are not concerned about his money, if he likes let him spend 500m in the next window, clubs like Liverpool will only help redistribute his money.
Project Youth is in full swing at the emirates, bring on all the money yu like, we're still gonna spank chelsea.

The above nonsense is very irrelevant to the thread.

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=500126.msg7749939#msg7749939 date=1297968583]Is there any proof to this or is this another way to deny themselves of the Igbo ethnicity?[/quote]1, THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE IGBO: Never denied Igbo.
2. They say they are from Ancient Benin: Meaning, that there were Igbo people in the ancient Benin Kingdom.
Under Oba Ewuare the Great, some of this Igbo groups migrated eastwards as a result of one thing or the other.

P-Square: From Enugu state not Anambra state.

Thanks a lot. Igbo language must not die.

alj harem1:
can you just be sensible for once !!!! learn to talk to people
ChinenyeN, i agree with you that we can keep our dialect; whether ngwa, oku, nnewi, oka etc

but brother you have to see reason here, what i mean is that; there have to be common language that unite us igbos


think of it, in the future when all the igbos have adopted 1 dialect and ngwa is still differnet, do you not think ngwas then will say they are not igbos or do you not think discrimination will start

think if oka, nnewi etc drop there dialect for the greater good in aligbo what make ngwa different

remember unity is first before any dialect we are keeping, the more united we are in terms of language and culture the better it is for us.

i know you love ngwa dialect but at the end of the day,

please ChineneyeN give it a good thought

Well said.

ChinenyeN:
Andre, what do you know about Ndoki? (serious question).
Killayut, I really do believe you're skewing the Ngwa/Igbo factor in Okoloma history when you say that the Ngwa "seized power". From the traditions I've been told, overheard, read and otherwise come across, Okoloma was founded after Beni Ijaw came in contact with Ngwa Igbo in what is now Ndoki. If anything, the Ngwa were amongst the founders of the earliest 'houses'. So to say that they came and seized power just sounds wrong. I'm only just saying. Not meant to drag out into an unending debate. Though I get where you're coming from.

It is always the Ijaws claiming how they founded Ndokiland. Always rewriting the history of a people. How many Ndoki people believes that. Ndokis claim that they are Igbo from Ancient Benin Kingdom. This Ijaw nonsense must stop now.

Roman is worth more than that. How about the cash from his sell of £5billion company to Russian govt not long ago?.

^^^
Boy, c'mon stop this your one-sided silly story of Ndoki people. How many Ndoki people believes in this your crap. This is the same idiotic reason some Ijaws claim they are in Abia state.
No one here has claimed Okrikas and Kalabaris as Igbo.
Okrika and Kalabari are not IGBO: Final word.

fstranger3:
Just like how Obama's great great grand father is Ibo. My grandmother is Ibo and my mother speaks fluent Ibo, does that make me Ibo? I hope not.

Always tryna claim oil wells!

No one is claiming oil here but if there are people claiming oil, then it has to be the likes of Danjuma and co but not any Igbo.
It seems You are a Yoruba, and will be in a good position to tell any Igbo who claims that Kabba town in Kogi state do not speak Yoruba.
What Ekpeye is to Igbo is what Kabba or Okun is to Yoruba.

@Alh Harem: The map Uchenna posted has Agbor in the West; Enugwu Ezike (Nsukka) in the north; Arochukwu in the East and Half of Port Harcourt in the south.
It did not even include Igbanke in Edo state, Okpokwu in Benue state and Ndoki in Akwa Ibom state. So you can see that he has not claimed non Igbo towns but excuded some Igbo towns.

alj harem1:
ezeuche how can you say this, do you know that nupe people speak yoruba fluently + nupe and yet you can not say nupe will go with Yoruba people. there are ibibio, efik and others that can speak fluent igbo but are they igbo,.,. certainly not

moreover you map is fraud

There is nothing wrong with his map. It is accurate and precise.
Nupe people do not speak Yoruba but Nupe. They even speak Hausa more than any other language except Nupe.

alj harem1:
now this what i like

ok i believe whether if ikwerri and ika say they are not igbo we should leave them, the more we talk like this, the more they feel special

if something happens, then they will remember there igbo part.

To my igbo brothers lets be watching

Spot on.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=599800.msg7737964#msg7737964 date=1297816578]Biafran defendants make bogus and outright inaccurate accounts of everything to shore up their credits and appear venerable. They did not drop bomb in Lagos. They made attempt to advance on Lagos but their under-estimation of and wrong assessment of Yoruba reserve resulted in an embarassing defeat at Ore and a retreat back to East.


Ndigbo is always searching to boost its population and right its majority.


Every community has this social structure you describe. . . this is not a sophisticated arrangement for checking and correcting the power of the monarch. This is just a bottom-up structure for familial or clan heirarchy.

Im looking for a sophisticated check and balance to forestall abuse.


Let the Igalas speak to it.[/quote]What do you mean at the bolded?.

Katsumoto:
Action Group was not a Yoruba party because it had members who were from the mid-west such as Alfred Rewane, Anthony Enahoro, Michael Okorodudu, Reece Edunkugho, Ogbemi Rewani, Gaius Obaseki, Ighodaro, Oronsaye, C. N. Ekwuyasi, etc. Granted the AG had more Yoruba members than the other groups but this was obviously because the Yoruba were a clear majority in the West. When the Western House of Assembly opened in 1952, 21 of the 24 delegates were NCNC candidates but over time, majority moved to the AG because of the pro-Igbo stance of the NCNC.

Also bear in mind that of the three regions, it was only the AG which allowed a state to be carved from with it. At the time there was agitation for mid-west state, there was also agitation for a COR state in the Eastern region and a middle-belt state in the Northern region. If AG wanted to dominate the minorities in its midst, it would have severely opposed the creation of the mid-west state just as the eastern and northern regions opposed the creation of COR and middle-belt states respectively.

The west had no choice but to allow them go. If they had their way, they could have obstructed it.
Agreed, A.G had non Yorubas, but the rationale behind transforming a Yoruba cultural association as a political party that will represent other non Yorubas is what I hereby question.

The gene from his mother's side is a clear manifest of him even in his speech and language. What a shame.
