I'm yoruba, but I always see Ikwerre as igbo. Same culture, food and tradition. They are more related than we Yorubas and ijebu

Samyj247:
SEE LIST OF NATIVE IGBO TRIBES FROM STATES OUTSIDE THE
SOUTH EAST
These are list of Igbos indigenous to states outside the present so called South East of Nigeria. See below:

RIVERS STATE
1) Egbema
2) Ecthe
3) Omuma
4) Ndoni
5) Ikwerre
6) Ekpeye
7) Obigbo
Opobo
9) Ogba

EDO STATE
10) Igbanke/Igboakiri
In fact most people do not even know that Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa and his wife are Igbo from Igbanke in Uhuonde Local Government area of EDO state that was formerly in Orhionwon LGA .
The mother of the late Samuel Odaigbovo Ogbemudia is Igbanke! Most indigenes of this town just like Ika people bear hybrid names that most often could just jolly well pass as EDO because of their names like Nduka Irabor, Jim Ovia, Omorogie Nwawanne, Collins Edumaruse etc

DELTA STATE
11). Ika
12) Ndokwa
13) Ukwuani
14) Aniocha
15) Oshimili

BAYELSA STATE
16) Osekwenike, Abuetor and Eke Okpokri villages, all in Sagbama area of bayelsa, are all Igbo of Ukwuani stock, and as such, are of the Anioma igbo clan of the Igbo ethnic group in BAYELSA

CROSS RIVER STATE
17) ISOBO , even liyl imoke former CR governor and wife are igbos from ABI LGA – CROSS RIVER

AKWA IBOM STATE
18) Ikot Udo Ika in Ika Local Government area of Akwa Ibom is an Igbo community.

BENUE STATE
19)The Igbos in Benue State particularly those in Ado, Oju, Obi and Okpoku LGAs of the state were in existence before the advent of Christian religion in Nigeria.
The Igbo found in Benue are: Umuezeokoha, Umuezeoka, Oriuzor, Umuoghara, Amaekka and Amaezekwe all in Ezza communities, Izzi, Ezzamgbo and Effium, these are the people who would have been in present-day Ebonyi State but due to the fact that the Nigerian government then carved them into Benue in order to suppress the population of the East. Apart from the Ezza-speaking clan, particularly the people of Umuezeokoha that has over 300 villages, if you are to
calculate the number of Igbo-speaking villages in Benue State, outside Umuezeokaoha, you would be talking altogether about over 600 villages. Three of the biggest markets in Benue are all in the Igbo- speaking part.
The markets are Inikiri Ichari, Iddah, Iduokpe. There are also some Igbo speaking Idoma towns in Benue State.

KOGI STATE
20) THE indigenouse Igbo-speaking communities in Kogi state especially in Ibaji and Igalamela/Odolu LGAs are Eke Avurugo community,such as Nwajala, Umuoye, Ubulie-Umuez, ozara, and umuoye and many more.

NOTE
The current Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, also told us that his kingdom was initially conquered by the Igbo (PLEASE KINDLY NOTE THAT HE WAS NOT REFERRING TO THE UGBO OF ONDO STATE)until they were rescued by Moremi and he also spoke of an aboriginal Igbo community that still exist in ILE Ife to this day.
The Ugbo people of Ondo State have the same Obatala linkage with the Aborigines of Ile Ife. Note: there are several Igbo towns in present-day Igboland that are called Ugbo. For instance, you have Ugbodu in Delta State, and Ugbo in Enugu State, just to mention a few.

do you even know what exaggeration means?
Go back to the bush my friend,,, you're only skilled in handling cows..
intellectual discussions are not for your kind

Antivirus92:
I am not sure you even watched the interview...
you're just here arguing blindly...
Hate for the Igbo man is the only thing that unites Nigerians...

for the sake of clarity, obi never said that there are only 150 NBA Players....

Antivirus92:
when Europeans say that Africa is under-developed, does it mean that there are no places in Africa that are developed? can you say that Europeans are liars?
Mr Obi was simply trying to say that there is a good number of Nigerians outside the country and many are into NBA....
It's not even difficult to understand, maybe for only Tinubu urchins

Qtrpst4:
When are you going to tell us about the lie of tinubu over his age, certificate, wealth, Lagos tax, and all other coveted property in Lagos. Peter made a mistake about numbers but tinubu is known for outright lies. Go ahead and continue talking about someone who knows what he is saying while your own have no idea of what to even do when given power apart from his entitlement to power for bringing buhari to us

Antivirus92:
I don't know if I'm right, but there's a figure of speech in English called "exaggeration" or "hyperbole".
But we have a lot of MUPPETS here on nairaland who interpret everything literally...

Qtrpst4:
It's simple Peter has told us what he will do, we want baba agbado to tell us what he will do and how he is going to recruit 50 million youths into the army and feed them with agbado and cassava

Rapuru14:
US miss Trump.

This won't have happened under him with his drive towards energy independence for the US.

Thanksful:
Have you verified the claim?

Qtrpst4:
When is tifnubu coming out to tell us his "truth"?
We want tifnubu to have interview with channels, when will that be?

LikeAking:
Govt, polictician all over the world have contributed less to their country and humanity. Pls go and check this fact . Its the ignorant that believe voting for a good leader can change their destiny or the destiny of their country. Their are good leaders at the various state and local government level, yet their people are still ruined. Although I have my PVC, but I know govt all over the world is over hyped. The people doing the real work are their citizens.

iezeiyida:
Thank you for saying the truth. We must shun tribalism, religion and region and do the right thing in Nigeria now. Peter Obi will very much be a better president than the old, very corrupt and very greedy Tinubu and Atiku. Yeah he's not a perfect human being, but he is better than those two. Things are in very bad state in this country and at this stage of our national life, we Nigerians, especially the youths, should only care about competence in electing leaders in order to move forward like other countries.

Eluala:
This is like alabaro telling the taxi driver he does not know how to drive. A man that was two term governor, Chairman of SE governors' forum, Deputy Chairman of Nigerian Governors' forum, member of the Economic Management Team for the Federal Government of Nigeria, member of the FGN committee on education, Chairman of the Nigeria Stock Exchange in addition to other positions held both in the public and private sector, you think you understand FGN workings better than him because you run a social interaction platform?

CSTRR:
Abdel Fattah Saeed Hussein Khalil el-Sisi
President of Egypt has doubled Egypt power generation to 55,000MW.

This man came in at the same time as Buhari.
Attracted over 10,000 factories.

Fashola has spent 7yrs as minister of power.
We are still at 7,000MW , with 4,000MW being the useful power.

And somebody is calling fashola.

You and fashola dey craze.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Why was tinubu cousin oyetola rejected

casualobserver:
Peter Obi always talking so much without really saying anything...always stating the obvious but never specifics of what he is going to do.

hstar:
which one?

the one dat earned chelsea d champions league in 2012?

Shey when our delta person do am we no shout oh..

GodsOwnMan:
Yoruba people eh na dem dey carry this country o! Lets be honest and the rest of us should catch up!

duality:
No good reason to vote BAT and there's nothing to pretend about it. Only the ethnic and religious bigots will hold on to that your line. The leading candidates have presented themselves. Obi, remains better.

The youruba bigots, couldn't push for Osinbajo now they feel threatened.

Who in the world wouldn't want an Osinbajo as their president.

You can call me Igbo or IPOB, because that's the lame response, when truth is told bigots, even by their own blood brother.

Amunethseranu:

WHAT DID OCCULT ADEBOYE MEAN BY " WE WERE NIGERIANS BEFORE CHRISTIANITY CAME ?
