no, igbanke is a combination of Esan and Ika.

We don't have anything in common with yobas,not food,way of dressing,we don't think the same way.

No matter what happened or what fulanis committed,yobas will love them and hate Igbos.some may pretend but dip down they want your downfall.


I will rather unity with cobra than unity with yobas.



People that are been taught from birth to hate Igbos.


Umu ekwensu.

At least he showed his willingness that he employed every Nigerian.

citing His industry in S.E depends on Business Location.

without Business Location He would have not cited his Refinery in Lagos.

what Innoson Failed to do is going along with every Nigerian.

BastardWike:


Our greatest assets as Igbos is our can-do spirit. I'm happy that the inherent proclivity towards technological advancement we had a glimpse of during the Biafran era is reemerging.

Innoson is a brand I'm so happy with and I'm praying it will last for generations.

This partnership and the company's manufacture of certain parts while equally buying from other companies in Nnewi is the similar approach Asian Tigers used to become technology giants.

Igbos are a blessed race and we will take our pivotal role in Africa going forward.

Zooposki:
Damn. What an insult. These Northerners are crazy. Only South West will use their own hands to divide this country.

Calabar is considered as the first capital of Nigeria because it served as the first capital of the Southern Protectorate, the Oil River Protectorate, and Niger Coast Protectorate. This was until the late nineteenth century, when the administrative centre of the Southern protectorate was moved to Lagos in 1906.

Let's look at it this way..
If the Sarduana finished with the west, and having rigged the lethargic NCNC out sort of, who was next? Zik and the Igbos. It's very pedestrian to analyze tht coup as simply an event unleashed to stop the carnage in the west! Before the mayhem there, Igbos have been killed in several massacres up north. Sarduana has made documented anti igbo rhetorics and the alliance between the NPC and NCNC was already crumbling fast because of his wayward ambitions and Azikiwes obstinacy..

The problem with that coup was not Nzeogwu! That coup needed to happen! Lack of action shouldn't be an alternative and the fact was that after waiting for a full year to call the so-called winning parties to form a government, Azikiwe has practically played his last card at a peaceful resolution of the ensuing conflict! The problem was with ifeajuna and his disjointed prosecution of the coup down south and Ironsis alarming mishandling of the aftermath. The coup happened! It failed but an Igbo was still in charge! What did he do next? He started to bend backwards by employing northern officers as his guards! Did Gowon do that? Did Murtala do that? You have to consolidate with trusted hands!

As far as I'm concerned, if there was anything wrong with Nzeogwus adventures that evening, it was his unwillingness to extend maximum violence to any unit that disagreed with his command that night! The desperate situation then demands that.. Revolutions are never tea parties! It was an operational exigency that was broadsided by his comrades in Lagos! They paid dearly for that..You want to see how to hyjack power and consolidate ruthlessly thereafter, read about how the northern officers eliminated every opposition after their July coup! I mean as an Igbo, I'm at the receiving end, but you have to give it to them on that score; they never prevaricated at the most important moments! With the benefit of hindsight, if the likes of Abacha, Buhari and Babangida were all given the Sarduana treatment, you don't think Nigeria would have been a better place today..? Was that not what Jerry Rawlings did in Ghana?

Rugaria:


Nzeogwu NEVER committed any "atrocities"!
It will be nice if you will humbly retract the statement!
Nzeogwu as the Chief of military intelligence unit became aware of the Sarduanas/Balewa/Akintola schemes that were ultimately going to lead to massacres as Buhari/Tinubu politics is doing today, and responsibly unleashed a chain of actions to neutralize the evil culprits! He did well! Irrespective of what later days revisionists would like us to believe! Ironsi took over afterwards and bungled the whole thing otherwise the country was getting out of the woods with that surgical military action.. Nzeogwu was a vintage fearless patriot , who should be celebrated and not villified! Please, kindly take note of these facts...

No , this is an open knowledge.

"There are several myths & mysteries surrounding Omambala which lead to different interpretations by many tribes and nationalities, hence the mispronounciation of Omambala as Anambra by the earlier European explorers."

Abaman001:


Donkeys like you are part of the reasons the good people of Niger Delta detest that thing called biafrauud and will never support brainwashed idioots called Igbos and as such the landlocked online republic will remains a mirage as long as the Niger Deltans keep rejecting you terrorists....

Hellraiser77:
The Op's theory is sound logically and based on available evidence i had arrived at the same conclusion after rigorous evidence based research, However it doesn't cover the entirety of the population that is today known as Igbo, it more precisely explains the long forgotten and ancient history of southern Igboland populations.

My position which is similar to yours and which was arrived at through rigorous and extensive examination is this:-

1- What is today know as Igbo people Moved southwards from an area close to the Niger-benue confluence for whatever reason but most likely to seek out new lands as the continued drying of the Sahara area which used to be a very vast lush green area pushed early Sahara human populations southwards, This was very early maybe up to 8000BC.

2-This early proto-igbo southward movement spanned hundreds of years and was very scattered, most went southwards towards today's northern Igboland Others followed a more south Westerly direction into what is today an area covering parts of modern Osun, ekiti, ondo and ondo states later to be Joined by Edoid peoples and the ethnicities that exist under the yoruba umbrella name today, some of them moved again through the direction The OP presented and finally settled at the southern part of the Igboland.

3-This includes southern igboland populations as well as the Ogba, ekpeye, And the ikwerre that being why I don't totally laugh ikwerre out of court when they say their ancestors came from Edo.(the Onitsha and most Igbos west of the Niger river fall into this category too)

4-Some of this proto-igbo people of modern day south western Nigeria was resident in what is today known as ile-ife they called it "Omoku" before some modern day yoruba ancestors arrived and blended the whole gene pool of the area into what it is today(The principal town of the Ogba people of rivers state is still called "Omoku" today"

To put in simpler terms all Igbos originated from a single source around 8000bc around the area where the Niger and Benue rivers met, But arrived from different directions to what is today modern Igboland this influx was also separated by vast expanses of time

Draslo:

Wow. Please tell us more. I didn't know Ugwashi Ukwu is in a state. It is only when it comes to accolades, you claim what is not yours

Her presentation was titled “Values, Mindsets and Culture”; and it was significant that she acknowledged that there were allegations that “I have come to prosecute an Igbo agenda (in respect of public service appointments)”. In response, Ngozi said: “my point is, I don’t give a damn. If the people got there on merit, they deserve it and we will stick with it as long as we know they didn’t get it through the back door”.

She then went on a triumphalist ride: [b]“by the way, when you think of merit and competition Igbos don’t do badly and that is the problem, we do rather well. [/b]Somebody said everybody in the financial sector is Igbo; then they begin to list people like the deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Director General of Stock Exchange, Director-General of Securities and Exchange Commission, Director General of Debt Management Office, myself and Sovereign Wealth Fund”.

Draslo:
Take it easy. Tell us which of the SE states she's from.

Why don't we just do it like this: those who want to be called igbo should make it known and nobody from any other part of the world should speak on their behalf. Their monarchs and only their monarchs should speak for them.
Does this not make sense ?

Did they also copy their land into benin empire in precolonial maps ?
You are only trying to convince yourself, you know you are saying rubbish

Ekealterego:

Don't mind them. People from Asaba and Ogwashi uku have been warning the Ikas and Ukwani people seriously from bringing disgrace to them by tgging them with !"anioma is not Igbo" discussion.
The last Ukwuani guy who posted something controversial was met with serious rebuttals from non-Ika people.
Most people who post these things are from Edo state and Ukwuani.
I just read this article from Ngoyi Okonjo

In that same logical length, you didn't realize that most northerners and middle beltans speak hausa inclusing the non hausa, but if anybody speaks a language with similarities with igbo, you claim that perosn is igbo...logics

So are we british for speaking english ?
I my dad hausa because he learnt hausa while in the army ?

The ancestral regalia OF every Obi is the same as that of the Oba of Benin

You are not making sense at all.
