I have been going about reading ur posts on nairaland...about tribe and identity.
As far as Nigeria is still one, Rivers Igbo and Delta Igbo can claim any ethnicity or origin...nobody is dragging igbo with them.

But if Nigeria ever breaks up, let me tell u the simple truths that u can take to the bank
1. Every igbo speaking area will be part of Igboland.

2. ...no igboland will be allowed to go into a Niger Delta Republic.

3. What the ikwere or the ika say is irrelevant...we know for a fact that all igbos do not have the same origin. So ikwere or ika folklore about origin has nothing to do with them being igbo or not.

4. Its a matter of survival for the igbos...if we wont get the old biafran map, we would definitely have to get the full Igbo map...down to opobo. because without it we would be landlocked. If having igbo rivers or igbo delta is not a matter of survival for ss minorities...then best hands off on them. We die here.

5. You can call us land grabbers, biafrans (shake your head) or say every tribe hates us.. but how come we are not claiming ibibio or ijaw or bini or any of the many tribes that surround igboland? Why are we only claiming igbo speakers in ss?

6. We know for a fact that anioma and ikwere would have been proudly igbos if they were all carved into south east by gowon.

7. A repeat of point 4. If Nigeria ever breaks up...igbos will only have 3 options
a. Get the full biafran map
b. Get the full Igbo map
c. Die trying

For now...claim anything u want...we are under one nigeria and thats not changing anytime soon

this is a typical ikwere dressing...any difference with igbo?
So ikwere dont eat igbo food? Wow.

The problem is that u dont know the meaning of ethnicity and tribe.

Igbo is an ethnicity
While wawa igbo or ikwere is a tribe or otherwise called clan.

What is ethnicity?
The state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.

Tribe?
a group of people, often of related families, who live together, sharing the same language, culture, and history

Ethnic group is larger and more national while tribes are smaller and more local. E.g the 12 tribes of isreal. Are they of different ethnic group? No.

In England, the man from london and the man from birmingham have different tribes but same ethnic group.

If things are the way its supposed to be...ikwere will be in a larger igbo nation..just as efik and ibibio will be the same nation.

The white men used our head.

MrBigiman:
U are correct. The same way Ijaws started fighting for land in Benin, and even fighting for traditional rulership.

mmb:
Your moniker says it all. Refer to the source, i.e wikipedia. #lazyyouth

I am trying to locate your business in my comment...
I am using the biggest loop possible. Still nothing.

historyworld031:
You are a little bit retarded.
Bendel was not liberated by "yoruba gallant soldiers".
The situation was a civil war and there were Edo, yoruba, haussa and all in the federal army.
Murtala Mohamed and Ogbemudia were the military officers in charge and none of them is yoruba.
What do you even mean by "Edo are denying yoruba" ? What is there to deny ?
I am asking myself who keeps brainwashing you yoruba ?
Edo have never been yoruba and never will be, nomatter how you rewrite your "history".

historyworld031:
It is worrysome that these days nigerian education is so low that to a nigerian everything is a kingdom, you guys will soon start referring to your houses or your streets as kingdoms.
For your info, Edo state is just a part of one Kingdom of which Delta state is also a part among others.
Benin Kingdom !
Anyway, sorry for going off topic.
I am proud of my Edo brothers. You defended yourselves well.
Good job !

historyworld031:
Warfare is in the blood of every Edo.
Our ancestors fought wars for thousnads of years. It is now in our genes.
The only country which ever defeated us was the british empire which faced us with maxim guns and bazookas and all...
We still showed them pepper.
We are Edo, we are warriors !
