The Egbema is a Subgroup of the Ijaw tribe, having 9 Subclans,
Namely Ajakurama, Pulobubou, Ofunama, Ogbudugbudu Jamagie, Opuama etc.
This 9 Subclans of the Egbema kingdom have over 200 villages and Hamlet's under them.
These Egbema people were Balkanized into Edo state, and Delta state.



[s]The Egbema of Rivers and Imo, that travelled to the area they are due to the fishing nature of the Ijaw tribe, during the days of old, and that was balkanized into Rivers and Imo are same people with this Egbema of Edo and Delta.
They are all Ijaw people, but the Rivers and Imo Egbema have lost their Language due to Igbo acculturation.
They have Opuama in Egbema of Rivers and Imo
And Opuama is a Subgroup of the Egbema of Edo and Delta too, meaning big town.

All Egbema people are Ijaw people[/s].

SlayerForever:
Today I read about Otuoke being Igbo, descended from Mbieri people of Imo who still call themselves umuotuoke till this day.

Another exposé on Bayelsa may be coming up

[s]At least 95% of Igbos support Kanu, these very guys are the ones supporting him and his terrorists acts from afar[/s].

Fejoku:
You've been busted already. What a waste.

ablejesus26:
Out of fear of attack from the Ugm.

So what happens to the people who were killed by his angel ugm?

I disagree with the Ohaneze on this one
They should rather demand that he gets a fair trial and see if he can get his scam ipob deproscribed because their tag as outlaws is doing a big harm in Igboland.

tamdun:
SS always vote for pdp

vanbonattel:
[s]Dear Raymond, we have since gone past that your myopic reasoning that tends to put the presidency as a means of compensation or financial benefits.

Of what use will an Igbo president be with the lopsided army and national assembly? He will be as tiothless as Ernerst Shonekan in 1993[/s].

olamidedivotee:
What he said is true. South East don't have an eligible candidate present.

The whole thing starts and ends online bro.
The Farmer in Ezza village doesn't know what someone wrote in nairaland.
But you will never convince her that any one else is more of a kinsman to her than fellow Igbos in far away Anambra.

I was once travelling to Taraba on public bus and our vehicle stopped at a remote place in Northern cross River in the night.
I alighted to buy something, and noticed that the girl in the shop was speaking an Igbo dialect I was struggling to understand.
I asked her if she was speaking Igbo with my Anambra dialect, she laughed and told me yes, and quickly switched to speaking to me with central Igbo.
The mum came and she introduced her to me, she was happy to see me, I bought soft drink and all and sat in their shop to drink.
I could feel the love and unity with them, they told me they are from Izzi and came to that village 10 years ago

I have across the length and breath of NIGERIA, all I receive is love from Igbos in those locations once they hear you speak Igbo.
It doesn't matter the part of Igboland you come from.
The kind of Unity and love Igbos show ourselves, no other NIGERIAN group have that, and it scares the hell out of them.

Nigerians are confused about Igbos.
One moment they tell themselves that Igbos are too tribalistic and segregative to non Igbos and would not embrace you if you are not one of them.
At other times they tell themselves that Igbos are not United

Igboid:
Yes! I see them. They are pitching Igbos against themselves in their dreams.
When they are done, they should step offline to Igbo cities and towns and watch the truth stare at them.

Umahi understand the Igbophobic sentiments that unites all NIGERIA.
If telling them all the bad things about Igbo they want to listen to, is his own strategy at playing the national politics, then I'm fully behind him.
Let him tell them more, the joke is on his non Igbo audience. Umahi and all of us know the reality on ground.
No Igbo town/village would as an entity choose NIGERIA over the rest of the Igbo clans scattered in five SE states, including Rivers, Delta,Cross River and Benue.

Ovamboland:
You forgot Azikiwe threw away the chance to be first Prime Minister to be become first president (ceremonial) but his boys became Senate president and first VC, first Army Chief.

In 1979, Igbo also became VP and speaker at the same time, 9 years after civil war, leaving Yoruba that did not lose a war in the cold. Then in 1979, your people bragged how far they've left Yoruba behind in playing politics.

Fahdiga:
Sorry bro I didn't ask for your life story so why telling me one

Fahdiga:
The pay must really be good for you to be defending the atrocities of this Supreme Court administrator

Fejoku:
Never knew you are a fan of Hopeless Ozodimgba. Now the puzzle makes sense.

FallenShitHole:
Mumu!! Brainless Amoeba. Uwazurike is not dead. He took money and compromised. He sold out and and he is reaping his evil ways today. MNK and IPOB are different, have not sold out and will never sell out. Stop asking silly questions.

Ttalk:
How do you get vocal about something your leaders are not talking about.?

It not in their communique which your likes are hailing as sophistication. I swear, I am not getting your drift

Igboid:
Don't be silly.
Now get this. NIGERIA is rigged to favor the North.
But if we keep fighting the North, the North will keep giving SW and SS crumbs from our own share, which they would all happily accept and call us fools and see no reason to stop the North.

So what do we do?
We crash the game.

We beat them at their own game.
We help the North become eternal masters of NIGERIA.
We let them take everything that belongs to everyone, we stop fighting them so that they stop rewarding those two zones.
We stop fighting the North and the SS and SW will nolonger have something to blackmail the North with to offer them crumbs.
You see how Ghana must go was shared to Clark and co when you IPOB became too vocal with your Biafra stuff? Yes! That's the game. The more you fight the North, the more those people are important to the North, so they win little and you lose alot. It's a pattern that has been on repeat since 1970. Zik understood the game better, hence the success of the 1970s we enjoyed politically.

We let the North have everything.

Let all man feel the heat.
Let all man queue up in turns to serve as the VP for the North for the next 100 years.
Any one from the South who dare challenge the North, we let them burn alone.

If the North come up with squashing 13% in the future as Crude oil become less money spinning, we play neutral and let those involved carry their own albatross. If they rebel and the North send soldiers there, we stay neutral and let them handle them.

We sit back and let things flow.
This freedom must not come in our lifetime.
It's not an Ozugbo ozugbo things.
That's the mistake you IPOB are making.

There must be a long term vision and plan.

FallenShitHole:
Strategy will kee you there. I am reading your conversation with the yorubas. Who are you going to align with politicallly in that dungeon to get political relevance which is it's presidency? Who? What will vice presidency of the dungeon do for Igbos? Which ethnic group, yoruba, north and even SS will align with you to let you climg to the dungoen's presidency?

Why wouldn't you dumbos learn that you have no future politically and otherwise in that dungoen? They are only pretending to be looking at your way now because of the activities of IPOB which they are afraid of. If IPOB was not here to cause mayhem for them, they wouldn't have had any consideration for all you Igbo political fools that never learn. Yet you want other Igbos to follow you in chasing shadows year in, year out.
Get your useless heads out from that turnel, for there is no road there. You want southern alliance to win presidency, so if finally you didn't get it from yorubas, then what next? So you are dreaming of the dungoen throwing both APC and PDP ticket at you Igbos like they once did to the yorubas in 1999 and recently to northers in 2019? Stop dreaming. The faster you understand that your case in nigeria is always different, the better for you.

All you Igbo political foolish dreamers should stop disgracing Igbos. You are the ones these other nigerians look at and call all of us mugus whom they will continue to chop every election year, because they have swonr that an Igbo man must never rule over them. And you want us to continue waiting for them until they change thier minds about you? Which year will that be? There is no hope for Igbos in nigeria, both political and otherwise.

The only way is Biafra or Biafra through IPOB way. Soon, just very soon, APC and PDP will nominate their 2023 presidential candidates and you all fools will come back here to cry IPOB should help you to sit at home to crash the dungeon. I am sure by then you all will change your handles and become anonymous. Brainless foolsih zombies, repeating the same idiocy every 4 years and yet, expecting differnt result.

onumadu:
I merely used Jonathan to illustrate a particular point which you really didn't grasp.
That point is that politicians in Nigeria these days mostly care for PERSONAL interests, except Buhari who has stood by his Fulani group, and is willing to destroy even the whole country just to snatch your ancestral lands and hand it over to them.
Question is, when you get VP position that you are indirectly asking for, how will it stop Fulani from taking your land?
Jonathan was president for 6 years, what exactly did he achieve for his native region?
My submission is that we should focus on taking over our land, which is very much within our powers.
Everything else can wait.

Ttalk:
Your analysis shows Igbo have had it's share in Presidency.

Your analysis even buttress the fact that SW is as qualify just as NW did during Yar'adua having produced Shagari from same region. You mean there is no equity by having Buhari who just like others is from NW?

TheSupleemLeada:
It shouldn't baffle you.... igbos don't really want restructuring or succession... it's all blackmail tactics. They only push for succession so they can control SS crude oil.
