The man said he is not Igbo but you are all contesting that why

Because he refused to tell us what he is

CHM11:
The bolded is a decision taken by a people. I think its good that their decision is respected.

The word 'igbo' was definitely coined out one day too. Today its respected as a tribe in general. So if the Ika say they are Ika people and not igbo people, I feel its best they are left alone as ika people.

There was a time Urhobo, Isoko, itsekiri, Etsako as different tribes never existed, they were all just clans in the benin kingdom with diFferent ways of speaning. Today they are identified for what they say they are.

Goodmorning bro.

So if tomorrow Oliseh's son starts ranting "My name is Oliseh but in fact I'm not a Black African, I am from a town called Dortmund in Germany", we should all just respect his "identity"?

jesus saves, oh wait
lol
say what?

CHM11:
True.
But in some situations, especially with minorities, a clan is the tribe. In ika land, do u know there are subclans?

By Igboland and Yorubaland you mean? Would you classify the yorubalike speaking itsekiris under yoruba land? Or the Yorubalike speaking akoko edos under yorubaland?
Do you know there are yorubalike tribes in togo, Benin even as far as serria-leone? These people refuse to be called yorubas explicitly...you hear names like esan, akokoedo, afemai, itsekiri, fon, ewe etc...that's their tribe, not yoruba.

As regards the ika people, I am not ika so I can't speak for them, but if Sunday Oliseh's view is carried by many of his kinsmen, then they are Ika, their language might sound igbotic but its IKA language as they have called it, not igbo.

If they can't call your anambra pure igbo as Ika or ukwanni, then you shouldn't be at liberty to call their own Ika language as igbo.

I understand your point tho.
Me I just wish we should learn to live and let live.

Here is a scoop for you: There was never any such thing as "Ika" until after the war
Their name was Ika-Igbo
They dropped the Igbo part so as not to be marginalised in Nigeria but they can't drop their Igbo names or language or cultures
Ika-Igbos made up the bulk of Biafran field commanders

CHM11:
how do you mean? Can u explain?

Cos I thought my comment was very direct and self explanatory bro.

A clan is different from a tribe
An Ika man is to Igboland what an Egba man is to yorubaland

CHM11:
And igbo is a tribe right? That's the problem, you guys just keep ridiculing people, where they are from and what they choose to call themselves.
I am from urhobo, I font go to edo state to call my etsako sister an urhobo woman because our language look alike, or call the isoko man an urhobo even though we speak almost same language.
The yorubas have not come to delta to Lord over the itsekiris cos their language is like yoruba...the Benin have not come to lord over the urhobos cos we bear names that look alike....

Just learn to respect other people and what/where they are from and people will learn to live in peace with u.

If he says he is Ika, who are you to tell him that Ika is not a tribe?....there are pockets of yorubalike speaking tribes in Edo and Delta, the yorubas respect these tribes as akoko edo and itsekiris respectively. If someone comes and tells you that he is Ika and not igbo, respect him as an ika man just as he respects u as an igbo man. You don't have to insult and curse him for telling you that he is Ika and not igbo.

you are not comparing comparables.

modhream:
Amadioha give you kiss there.
C'mon,carry your corpse out of here

But why do you wish evil on Amadioha?

CHM11:
I love you my akwaibom wife...muuuuuuuaaaaaah!!!
If Oliseh say's he is not igbo, that he is ika....why don't u respect him as an Ika man?

Because Ika is not a tribe.

pus97:
Because oliseh is not an igbo person. Is every person whose name is Robert from britain.

People some time pick their children name . rotimi amaechi is not a yoruba person, he is igbo. But his parent decided to given the name rotimi after a famous lawyer.


When buhari became head of state as a milttary person. Many people have their children buhari.

When you check the names of other people who bear buhari on the Internet

What is he?

useless zoo army can't do anything without foreign help

disumusa:
boundles of clowns,very funny. boundles of clowns,very funny.

they decimated your army until you started begging foreign aid just as your current leader is touring the world begging for foreign aid

Emilokoiyawon:
His name is Sunday UGOCHUKWU Oliseh Na wa o - I guess Biafra has its work cut out for them

He is a brainwashed fool
See as soon as he denied he is is not Igbo, the next logic thing would be to tell us his tribe but instead he talked about his village
That should tell you something

Stupid ika man, his name is Ogochukwu
his brother's name is Chukwuma
go figure

brainwash
