Oyel! Oyel! Oyel! That is all we hear.

What do they want? More oil money?

This is a very sad situation. The youngest child and only daughter of her father. People are very wicked.

These pictures should be removed. Can she have privacy even in death?

Now the Ijaw are simply a mystery to me. Anyone who has heard Ijaw being spoken will tell you that is unlike any language they have heard in Nigeria.

The Ijaw may have been present in Nigeria (region) longer than any other group.

I have heard that their language is similar to the Dogon people of Mali.

The similarities in our languages is just too common to say that we did not descend from a common ancestor. So in essence, we are all brothers and sisters who came from the same family tree.

Our languages diverged and now we have different groups.

This is a secret that no one wants to discuss but it is staring at us.

We do not descend from any group in the Middle East. Our ancestors came from Central Africa near the source of the White Nile.

tubolancer: Igbo people on Nairaland have too many problem,very soon they will bring another map. I am tired! I am tired!! I am tired!!! Of Ibo problem and headache aba!

And I am tired of Nigeria.

manugbo: SOMETHING IS COMING UP SOON AND U AND T.A ORJI CANNOT, NEVER STOP IT

THE ABA NGWA PEOPLE ARE SAYING 'ENOUGH TO MANY YEARS OF SLAVERY"

JUST WATCH AND SEE

What will the Ngwa do? Will you all hold Abia hostage again with kidnapping?

What is this slavery the Ngwa people speak of? Umuahia people and Bende people are not enslaving Ngwa people!

The Ngwa are a hurry hurry people. Why care about filth when it can be dropped anywhere?

I wish the oil in the South-East will not be exploited until we get out of Nigeria first.

bright007: Igbos are the most confused set of people in d niger area.They want to claim everything on their path.They have forgotten dat language alone cannot be used to identify d true root of å group of people.

If you use our language, you answer Igbo names and your culture is Igbo, what does that make you? It makes you Igbo.

Oil has cause some Igbo clans brains to become rotten. Remember that Amaechi wants to become president of Nigeria so will he finally answer his Igbo name, because his only chance of winning is if he gets Igbo support. He should just ask Goodluck who started answering the name Azikiwe.

killayut: Some Igbo people will never stop claiming us the Eastern Ijaws.

You Eastern Ijaws were not even called Eastern Ijaw until recently. Before you were simply Okrika, Kalabari, Ibani and Nkoroo.

Remember that Port Harcourt (Iguocha) belongs to the Ndigbo. And that is why Rivers state will be controlled by people who have Igbo names.

geeez: Someone in the ND once said, ''my own is not the same thing as our own". Speak for yourself and not other tribes. It's amazing that the same people you are saying will go with you are screaming blue murder on this same thread! How sad.

You are talking to someone who doesn't give a damnn if the Igbos have allies or not in Biafra. All the other groups form their own nation, but Port Harcourt (Iguocha) will be within Biafra just like the Delta Igbo.

My brothers insistence of finding allies makes the Igbo look weak, even though we have the resources and expertise to form our own nation

God bless Igboland. Igbo FIRST

I find Non-Eastern people and Igbos themselves do not know who supports who in the East.

The majority of Ijaw do not support Biafra, even though a few Ijaw clans did support Biafra. They see the Igbos as a threat to their dominance of the Niger Delta. And consider themselves the 4th largest group even thogh the Ibibio/Annang/Efik would be the 4th largest group if they were united. But their divisions are worse than the divisions between the hinterland Igbos and the Igbos closer to the coast. And it has nothing to do with oil.

The Ibibios would join the Igbo, but the Efik are wary of Igbos. Annang are 50/50. I know how Ibibios feel about the Igbo as many of you already know because I am half Ibibio.

Efik and Annang could be persuaded to join Biafra along with other Niger Deltan groups who fear Ijaw expansions which is REAL.

You are very sweet.

[quote author=Mrs.Chima]Igbo is an Igbo regardless if they have been contaminated with other etnicities or not....what would you tell a child that has an igbo father and an Edo mother?? That she is not Igbo because she has been contaminated??

Ridiculous.[/quote]The population of Igbos taken in the Diaspora is very UNCLEAR. But we do know the number of Igbos who have recently arrived in the Diaspora.

Any child born to an Igbo man is an Igbo. Regardless if that child's mother is white, Asian, Latino or any other group. Stop overreacting.
