Nwanyiogwashi:
A thread was created here on nairaland by misinformed people from urhobo people of Delta state trying to blackmail my person and personality with one Chioma they got on Facebook,I would have not reacted or respond to the misformed persons but for the sake of my fans and those that love me I decided to clear the air and put some misinformed people to the place where they belong
1.I am not the Chioma or anything close to her but it happen that the said Chioma share the same feeling with other Anioma people like myself.

2.The said Facebook account might/may be create by the same misinformed people trying to bring my person down.

3. I have always been a lover of my ogwashi ukwu and Anioma land as a whole and nobody will force Niger Delta on us.

4.I also want to state here that I have never hidden my identity from anybody even duo nairaland is faceless ,I have personally invited some people who doubted my my identity here to Asaba or ogwashi ukwu eg of such Area4Area ,sarrki and so many of them that I can't remember and for my own very brother from urhobo land @Mystiquefia I will invite you too whenever I am less busy to any place of your in Asaba or ogwashi ukwu.


5 I love Anioma people, my Igbo brothers from East,mods and super mods and everybody on nairaland even duo will sometimes disagree but everything ends here.

Igbo culture is far older than Edo

Igbo influenced Edo culture....like Nri priest gave Edo benin market days, while Awka Smith's thought Edo how to do Smith's while Eze Chime though the Edo how to administer


Benin are just few years ago.... compare Nri history and Benin


Benin even borrowed Igbo words...they are minorities

onuman:



Wike, “Rivers people” you call the people in Rivers state is no historical description for any group in the world.

You have limited education. Stop leading the ethnic groups in Rivers state astray because of your private ambition to become VP in Nigeria.
The ethnic groups in Rivers state know that Biafra is going to be a federation of groups quasi independent of the central government. Develop more sense.

Malawian:

Tell wike to visit Obigbo and repeat himself

nairavsdollars:
Never seen an Igbo man like this Wike before. How come he hates Biafra so much

goalernestman:
Nigeria was called Benin before is this true
the person that ruled Nigeria before was the Oba of Benin and before any European want to trade with Nigeria he has to get his approved is this
true too.

if all this is true why are yoruba claiming and igbo claiming every fact history of the Benin

He is from agbor in delta state, the last time i checked agbor is igbo

DateMynd44:
the Igbo bride attire is just the same as that of the Edo Bini bride. it's like the minority (Edo) copied and stole it from the majority (Igbo).

Anigreat:








They will all come here to write their childish tribal hate filled comments, as if there's any tribe in Nigeria that is devoid of Shortcomings.


I am not justifying drug peddling, but these guys had to do this for survival, as the present government of Jubril only favor the quota system people alone.

Ofunwa111:


How can Ovbi be the same thing as Obi ? Na wa These Ika peeps sha !

Igboid:
1968 - Adekunle "The Black Scorpion" during Operation OAU

"I want to see no Red Cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no Pope, no missionary and no UN delegation. I want to prevent even one Ibo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves and when our troops march into the centre of Ibo territory, we shoot at everything even at things that do not move".

Drosonogasta:

Is dress code really problem when we are now facing a National issue at hand? You shoudnt be taken serious too.

gidgiddy:


Bini man, try as much as you like, you will never understand the Ika language. But every Igbo man will understand it

Idiko1:


You have every right to say you are not Igbo but say majority of people of Agbor who are Igbo are settlers. Any none Igbo in Agbor was a runaway. The people of IGBANKE or Igboakiri have said they are Igbo. Ogbemudia once ran passed his father's compound to take refugee in Onitcha.

Nigercity:
The truth is
The Delta ibos except some few communites in Ika
And the numerous Igbos like etche, omuma,oyibo e.t c (excluding ikwerre) have never denied there igboness even here on Nairaland
The people who always shout there are no Igbos in South/south are the ikwerres and the ijaws (with the other minorities tribe in SS) especially the ijaws who feels so much insecured about Igbos in ss (maybe becose of the Niger Delta republic dream which the wants to create with the same Igbos in SS)
And the are just the loudest, check anyone who says the are no Igbos in SS it must definitely be an ijaw man or something an ikwerre man,
Go to there Facebook group, infact everywhere the Only thing the discuss is anti Igbo,

The Igbos Rivers aside ikwerre and the ones in Delta aside Ika are very pro Igbo even here on Nairaland
Check out cjrane and co, even the other woman from Delta
So Igbos from SE should stop generalizing Igbo denials to all Igbos in SS
I could remember some years Igbo the current Delta state governor promised to make Igbo language compulsory in all school across Delta North (Delta Igbo).
Infact onistha and Asaba speaks the same language and are the same people, just separate by state creation..

So Igbos in South south are always pro Igbos
The online trolls mostly comes from other minorities tribe in SS who are insecured about there region
The yoruba people who also says there are no Igbos in SS are just ignorant or just doing for trolls

Have you bowed down for your master today?

Your head is so messed up due to your mother's inability to control her own legs, hence you are born out of the dirtiest mixture of all the worst blood of most mad men in and around your village.
Poverty that is recking you and your 5Kobo mother is because your 7 insane, leg-wide, dirty rag tag sisters burn with the same waste blood as you have continue to represent their shamefull origin.

You people are always busy looking for dirts in people's eyes while you move around with iroko tree in your eyes
Besides, competition is our way of life. Anybody scared of it is not worthy to be called Igbo.
Please I have few questions to ask you owners of love that love yourselves too much that you behave like identical twins (Yoruba)
1. Half of owo was destroyed and enslaved by the Alaafin oyo. Can we know why?
2. Abeokuta was named "hiding under the rock" the people were hiding from someone. Can you tell us the person they were hiding from and why?
3. Alaafin of Oyo and Ooni of Ife never met in public for 100 years until the current Ooni assumed office. Can you tell us why?
4. There is something called the Kiriji war. Can you tell us the people that practiced it and why?
5. In contemporary life. There was a long feud before the election of OAU Vice chancellor because of ancestry, can you tell us why?
6. Till date the people of Modakeke hold serious grudges for the people of Ife to the extent that 6 years ago buses were stopped and searched and any Ife discovered in it was killed. Can you tell us why?
7. Oba Abdulrosheed of Iwo beat up a fellow monarch that he ended up in hospital with Oba Abdulrosheed ranting that the Obas were inferior. Can you tell us why?
8. Olugbo of Ugbo has serious issues with Ife and the ancestors (Oduduwa) can you tell us why?
9. Oyo considers herself superior and other yorubas more like slaves. Can you explain that to us?
10. Ife's claim to be the divine power in yoruba land is not acceptable in Oyo. Can you throw more light to this as well?
11. If you call an Egba and Egun man Yoruba in Ogun state he will wrestle you to death. Can we know why?
12. The Awujare of Ijebu has made it clear that Ijebu people are from Sudan. Can you throw more light on this?
13. The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu has been shouting and granting press conference that his throne on behalf of the Awori is from Bini Kingdom. Can you explain more please?

This is some of the reasons people were denied history in Nigeria Educational curriculum, by Nigeria govt.

IGBO IN NON-SOUTH EASTERN STATES OF THE FEDERATION

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.

Acidiously:

Oga go and sit down. South south is BIAFRA land not alaIgbo. Why are you guys so wicked and hatred oriented? Do you know how it feels when you'd go to Agbor and see someone speaking fluent Igbo that you can comprehend, has a full Igbo name, but at that same instance deny being Igbo because of what he's been reading on the news about Igbo.
At the very beginning it felt really bad but when we realized they wouldn't renege on what they believed, we accepted it.
If we told you before now that; Don jazzy, Tonto Dike, Linda Ikeji, emefiele, Jim ovia, Peter Odili, Duncan mighty were Igbos, you'd nearly curse us to death. Instead of you to tell us what tribe they are, you'd rather prefer to tell us their states of origin. You guys are so wicked!!!!

Rugaria:


How sure are you that the person you are referring to is igbo? And where did you conduct your research to come to the conclusion that such attitude is widespread in igboland?

Dikaveli:
it will interest you to know igbo has more billionaires than any tribe but in the list mentioned above

Note that tony elumelu
Jim ovia
Arthur Eze are all igbos

So next time

Know of the names
Ibeto
Innoson
Alien Onyema
Arthur nzeribe
Obijackson
Orjiakor
Pascal dozie
Emeka offor
Peter obi
Samuel onyesi
Guo okeke
Young shall grow
ABC
Chisco

Even young lads like obi cubana
Jowizaza
E money

And one honest thing about igbos is that in any town there's a billionaire there must be 200 millionaires there.

We are not those tribes that have 3 billionaires and others eat from hand to mouth some even from ground to mouth

Awada onitsha
Nkpor onitsha
Even your Lagos edifice will tell you that Igbos are not dulling


We are classic men

Bini man, try as much as you like, you will never understand the Ika language. But every Igbo man will understand it

You're bloody Bini man claiming owa,owa people are proud Igbo including governor Okowa whom I work for before and obi of owa.
Next time claim agbor.

OK, answer this one... Before the amalgamation of Nigeria by the British which was over 100yrs ago, people from Oliseh's clan were of which tribe?
