An Aboh king identified himself as Igbo? You've got to be kidding! My friend read up what you can find about Aboh kingdom and you'lld realize how insulting it is to say an Aboh king identified himself as Igbo. I'll let that aspect rest for now.

I personally have no problem identifying myself as Igbo but arguments like this that fail to appreciate the uniqueness of an entire people ticks me off. The complexity of the world today and increased globalization makes the identification of smaller groups along with larger ones desirable for the sake of simplicity, so we deliberately and consciously chose to accept all that bit us at night to be mosquitoes, but when push comes to shove we can conveniently sort out the mosquito bites from ant bites! Ukwuani's arent necessarily Igbo's, deal with it. I am an Aboh man and we carry a proud and rich history that predates that of Igbos and while we accept the times we live in, we know who we are and where we've come from and we'll not be stampeded into being what we are not. Records show that most Ukwuani clans were formed also from same migratory wave that birthed the kingdom so what are your points? Language? Culture? Get a life.

Wesley, thanks for the bolded part.
The Lander brothers wrote about the Igbo people of Aboh who assisted them during their discoveries of the mouth of Niger River. Am sure Abagworo has read about this documents before his write up which you replied. An Aboh king being Igbo does not stop the king from being Aboh.

This is too bad. With this news, I no longer cry over the spate of kidnappings in the east.

Please can you unban Ngodigha. I didn't do anything deserving such a lenghty ban. Desola has done worse things in this forum yet she doesn't get banned. Even when banned, she returns so soon. Unban Ngodigha and stop favouritism.
Mods, over to you.

Never again please. Not long ago it was in Oyo state and we all know what happened.
