OfoIgbo:
The current president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide is a native of Afikpo. His name is Chief Gary Enwo-Igariwey.

I hope that answers the question
No, it doesn't.

We have been raised to believe many things that history don't agree with.
They may or may not be Igbos. I don't know which is why I'm asking. From what's posted above culled from their website, even themselves doubt as per their origins.

The same way you can't hear interior Ngwa unless you decode few words based on the context being discussed.

Ngwa people have different language from the Igbos hence they are not Igbos but Biafrans.

I understand ngwa completely.

From their own account, it seems they are descendants of another tribe called Akpa, that were adopted by Igbo Ukwu

The origin of Ehugbo is wrapped in myth and mystery. No one is certain of the time the geographical entity called Afikpo came into existence. The most reliable account of the origin of Afikpo states that the founder was a man of Hebrew race who migrated from the east. It is believed that a great warrior called Igbo Ukwu and his followers set out from the east (Israel) in search of conquest and settlement. He got to North Africa from where he crossed to Nigeria and settled at Ikoyi, Lagos.

Later, Igbo Ukwu proceeded to Calabar from where he attacked and defeated the Ibibios but met with stiff opposition from a tribe known as the Akpa. Angered by the obstinacy of Akpa people, Igbo Ukwu waged war of attrition against them. He exterminated almost the entire tribe and rendered the land desolate. A few remnants of the Akpa people surrendered to Igbo, while others scattered to other places. Among those who surrendered was a man called Egwu Urochi.

Egwu Urochi was a powerful warrior and the greatest of the Akpa people. He and a few other captives were taken to Arochukwu by Igbo Ukwu. Because Egwu Urochi was a powerful warrior and had other sterling qualities, Igbo Ukwu adopted him as his son and made him the leader and commander of his army.

Satan worshipper, You are a m.oronic dingbat. Cowardice runs in your DNA, the bearded bastard called Ojukwu of cursed memory is the only coward general of the federation. Go run in the traffic as usual and let trailer crush you down.
At the name Ojukwu all yoruba tribe starts quaking.
But mention Oladipo Diya and even Sudanese women start laughing.

. Cowardice is a king and a leader committing suicide with 20naira otapiapia. Cowardice is Odenkunle crying in front of a lower ranked soldier. Shameless cowardic tribe
Those are even low on the scale of cowardice from that tribe. Oladipo Diya is small even. Make I no talk reach Ilorin that now has an Emir or.... Infact make I shut up because their type of cowardice is an abomination to humanity. Unmentionable!

And you that went to school i can see how very intelligent you are. You should know that there are other depot operators that would be happy to see those ones closed, thereby giving them control in the market. In an open market economy where there are options a clamp down on one company is advantageous to competitors. Nigeria is getting to that level.

Imagine the response of Glo, Airtel and Etisalat if MTN losses its license for just 7 days! That's the level the oil sector will get to soon.
son of olodo, I am talking about the prices, not the effect on their competitors.

If not for their humility Igbos would not dare to insult them and get away with it.

But that's something worth learning from yorubas
Cowardice is not humility.
