Because no other tribe is as considerate, honest and rational as Igbo people. Every tribe has people of questionable character. A tribe is measured by its dominant threats. Majority of Igbo people are honest and hate injustice. Most of Igbo people are not pretenders. They are not biased. That is why they can disgrace even their own brother when the brother misbehaves. And when they do it, other tribes use it to say "Igbo people hate themselves". Truth is bitter and majority of Igbo people often stand by the truth. This is why Igbo people are hated.

and the same useless and nonentity Igbos were slaves to we Ijaws and are still our slaves till today

Oplomo:
He was your president, with national assets and monuments named after him.
Zik is the only Nigerian leader who has his name used to name streets in the capital of other countries.

I just got back from Tanzania last month and I spent my time at Azikwe street, Dar es salam..

but zik father is an Ijaw man..

Is Igbo really an ethnicity?

This question has been burgling the mind of many people....

○Well according to some historians ,Igbo was not strictly an ethnicity but a political creation of the year 1878 by some British explorers...

Igbo, a corrupted form of Ibo was a conglomeration of different ethnicities either franchised or forcefully...

The requirements to become igbo are as follows...

1) having just one or two similarities..

2) tying two rappers..

3) having four market days..

4) geographically living around same territory..

5) Having crude oil..

6) jealous of supernatural power,,, average Ibo man is jealous when others having supernatural powers to win wars when his own ibo cannot....he will be jealous and used social media power to grabbed such power performing ethnicity or country... This was the basic reason they claimed Israel and Ijaw that are far different from their ibo....

These are the six criteria to become igbo..

○because Another historian said:
"Igbo is not an ethnicity or tribe but a politically franchise."
"Anyone can be igbo... Japanese, India, Israeli man can be igbo as far as he or she can meet up with any of the requirements list above".


Today happening in igbo land has proven the historians correct...

Example
1) some of the ethnicities like Abakaliki, Mbaise, Ikwere, Onitsha, Afikpo, Nsukka, Anioma, that were franchised and forced into igbo now rejecting it and fighting for their freedom

2) Igbo freedom fighter called Nammdi Kanu had said at several occasions that "any ethnicity where women tie two rappers will automatically become Igbo...

3) nnamdi kanu said because women from niger delta ethnicities tied two rappers so they are all Igbos including Itshekiri and Ijon that are far different from his Ibo in every nature including mindsets..

4) A great man as Dave Umahi once said and I quote " we ebonyians can't be part of igbo again because Igbos marginalizing us"....

5) some few igbo youth still held that political igbo franchise believe 'so they said Ibibios, Efiks, Annangs, Urhobos, are all igbos because of few similarities...


6) the funny side.... Igbo youth still extend the political igbo franchise belief to say Israels or Israelis and Ijaws or Ijawans, rihanna and Akon are also igbos... funny... �...


What the historians told and the mindset of the average Ibo now have answered the question in your mind and my mind that 'igbo is not an ethnicity created by God almighty but a false ethnicity created by politicians in the year of 1878 with a criteria to join...

See why igbo is a man made ethnicity of 1878, unlike ethnicities like Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri, Ibibio, Urhobo, Efik, Benin, Nupe etc that were created by Jehovah God himself during creation..

This is reason igbo doesn't have a root, so igbo youth of today claimed even what is unable to be claimed, just because they are confused.. now, their latest claiming is Haitians....

So people from those ethnicities igbos of today claiming shouldn't be surprised at these people sudden animalistic behavior, it because their ethnicity is franchised one created by human...

This post is only to enlightened those igbos of today claiming their ethnicities as part of theirs... because their next claimed will be Russia..

Idiko1:
I have travelled along the coast of Nigeria. Ijaw are glorified immigrants. In some places, Ijaw are not allowed to stray away from the waterside.

mentioned one place we are not allowed? Liar.. we owned every waterfront

paramakina202:
Anioma celebrities alone are more than what you just listed.Ijaw was a minority tribe in old Eastern region where Igbo was majority.

Ijaw was in both eastern region and western region but Igbou was just in one region

DaveDGreat:
Stop calling God to your rubbish so you don't die untimely.

Ok, we agree to your "see finish". Igbos are 20 in total while ijaws are 80 Million. Are you satisfied now?

igbos were slaves to Ijaws.... even, now igbous are still Ijaw slaves...

Thoh:
Why don't you say all Ijaws on Nairaland have one account.

they are all animals.. igbous remain our slaves

ObiofAsaba1:
Ijaw population is about 10 million
While IGBO is about 30 million

DaveDGreat:
Chai! Ndigbo don suffer. Chineke Ndigbo Biko nu belie. What's all these insults Biko nu?

Ndigbo, let the sleeping giant arise.

Oplomo:
Zik was president, national airport and university are named after him.

Ijaw will only drink ogogoro and sip crude-oil water. Lazy mugus

zik was just an opportunist that rule for just 2 years

Oplomo:
Creek rat wey drink oil water and smoke flared gas. The oil in ijawland belongs to Jigawa.

Localemperor:

ScamHunter:
Funny

Ijaw are in niger Delta while Igbo are in niger Delta all the way to the middlebelt.
Ijaw occupy one state as majority and four states marginally, while Igbo are majority in 7 states of Imo, Abia, Delta, Enugu, Rivers, Ebonyi, Anambra.

Same Igbo are minorities in Benue, Kogi, Cross River, Akwa Ibom , Bayelsa and Edo.

Igbo are aboriginals in these places while Ijaw are migrant canoe-dwwllers that recently settled on the coast.

Never knew that canoe dwellers could be more populous than agrarian cultures that existed in their current location for thousands of years.
Coastal Igbo are in Bonny, Brass, Opobo all the way to Equatorial Guinea. Our northern boundaries in Nigeria are Benue Plateau. While Ijaw are straddling a few spots on the coast but are using petrodollar bribe money to incorporate tribes they do not even understand their language into the Ijaw Franchise business.

My friend, Ijaw as we know it today is not even a tribe but a Limited Liability Company.

there are no Igbos in ebonyi,, benue,, kogi,,, delta,, rivers and bayelsa..

igbous are only indigenous to 4 states and are majority in 3 states,,, because igala own and dominate anambra

Oplomo:
LOL..Dem dey count meat, kpomo dey raise hand.

Creek dwelling rats feeling funky.

but igbos are not even up to the standard of kpomo...

vale20:
This is an insult, it is not ur fault. Can ur Ijaw fight the whole of Nigeria like the igbos did n survive??

Ijaws have fought government in more than 100 occasions....

But When did Igbos fight nigeria?

The biafra war was fought by 5 ethnicities namely: Igbo,,, Ibibio,,,Efik,,, Annang,,, or was philip effiong an igbo man?
So which year did igbo fought nigeria alone?

The only war Igbos fight against government is the 2022 own, which army flushed out the 2000 esn within 2 weeks of fighting..

Isobug:
Hahaha....How many Celebrities did you count. Anambra Celebraties alone will....in fact I laugh���, Only Edda, a fragment of Afikpo South LGA in Ebonyi has 72 villages, the highest in Nigeria.
I no blame you, I blame Igbos.
Igbos ntoo

Ijaws are equal to Igbos in population

Eastlink:
Daft Bayelsa clown. So you want a proud Opobo son to agree with your landgrabbing and daft analysis.

Dude is Fubara by name and can tell what it means rather than getting tales by moonlight stories from illiterate Ijaw militants like you.

Dude was eager to understand the source of the info because he's educated. But you on the other hand needs to re-enrol into Primary school.

Fubara is Ijaw,,,, just make one public claim that he is Ijaw and see him disgraced you animals like wike... Cannibals that eat human beings

Nigerialabalaba:
I don tell all dis yeye Tinubu and Yoruba haters awon omo ibo nl miscreants like impostor princeoflagos from owerri say our minority ex-presido GEJ no get chance for APC .
