wow thats amazing my brother. you definitely did an outstanding job in clearing that up for me. kudos and salute to you. S o in essence there is a difference between an igboid ( someone who speaks igbo but if from certain delta and rivers tribe ) and an igbo ( someone indigenous to the SE )

Aderewah:
Lol. This is how they'll be discriminated in biafra. When you want their land and oil, they're 100% igbo. But now, theyre igbo speaking Delta people.

Vinnie2000:
Yeah, There is a Difference..

The South East Igbos are the Traditional Igbos..D ones we know are Business-minded n scatter in Nigerian towns n cities..They come from Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia and Anambra..

But some are close to Benue(Idoma areas) and Cross River..Diz ones are still Igbos!!

But Ikas in Delta have a language n culture of their own, same as d Ndokwas,, dats y dey don't want to be cald 'Delta Igbo' or Igbo..

However, in d same Delta State, D Aniocha/Oshimili group sometimes identify demselves as Igbos because dier areas are closer to Onitsha, Anambra state n dier language is almost d same as d Main Igbo!!..(Funny enough, some don't e.g JayJay Okocha n Okonjo-Iweala)..

The area Where Nzeogwu who killed Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, etc came from is Okpanam n is in Asaba axis..Pple then said an Igboman killed Hausa politicians..

So, you see dat it's Quite Confusing n Complicated!!

Am not from Rivers State, so cannot say much on Ikwerre..

OpinionCounts:
Ikwerres are not ibos, they don't even speak ibo and most don't even understand ibo, when you want to talk about ibos in Rivers State you talk about the Opobos, Omuma, Etche, Bonny, ndoki and co, these ones speak and understand ibo, they have ibo lineage.

He has not Cleared anything for you but has rather Misinformed You!!

Am a Deltan and our Governor Ifeanyi Okowa is NOT an Igbo man!! He is an Ika man, though d language is of Igbo origin!! D Ikas do not like being Called 'Delta Igbo ' or Igbo'..

If You call dier Monarch (Dein of Agbor) Igbo man, You have committed High Treason!!!

Dorathy of BBNaija called herself 'Delta Igbo' in one discussion n her Ika pple in Nigeria/Diaspora skinned her alive on Twitter!!

So, Get it Right!!

Just dat Man is Naturally Greedy!! So, When Der is Something Juicy Up for Grabs, Ikas, Ndokwas, etc in Delta State quickly claim dey are Igbos to Try claim it..

In Actual Fact,they are NOT!!

Just Like calling Sir Alex Ferguson of Scotland 'British'!! He will tell you dat he is Scottish!!

So dats it, Bro!!

OpinionCounts:
I am not talking of strangers living in ikwerre land speaking ibo....I am talking about the pure ikwerre man and his language itself, it is not ibo and will not even be understood by any ibo person, the reverse is also the case, unlike the other ethnic groups I mentioned that speak total ibo language.
Ikwerre used to be said to be ibo before because then they were one big LGA together with the ibo speaking ethnic group Etche and Omuma, it was known as Ikwerre/Etche LGA, but after Etche and Omuma was separated, we now had ikwerre LGA, Etche LGA, and Omuma LGA, this took away the ibo speaking groups from ikwerre. What we have now as the present day ikwerre does not speak and can only barely understand ibo.

But I'm open to learning from you, if you can mention the ikwerre that speak ibo. Not strangers residing in ikwerre.

Kebbiprince:
That former SGF, sen Anyim pius said same thing. Is there something we don't know. Are igbos in Rivers and Delta not same igbo as those in the SE?

computer0810:
We ipob are not interested in become d president, our only mission in 2023 is to make sure tinubu did not become president

winterfell007:
you are confused. Chibuike Amaechi is igbo in rivers. He said it severally on every fora he has the opportunity to speak. here's a link to YouTube where he spoke fluent igbo

Vinnie2000:
Go Ahead, Boss!!

Am a Deltan and have travelled to almost parts of the state..

But of all these are mere calculations or Permutations..It is God that know who will be president!!..One Dark Horse might just clinch d Prize!!..

Personally, Like SmartPolician quipped, I will go for Sir Peter Obi for President in 2023..
He is Well Educated, Exposed, Articulate and also Accountable..

If Only, He could contest n win the PDP Primaries in 2023 ahead of Atiku Abubakar!!

Nigercity:
They are all Igbos
Just separated during state creations
All Igbos in South south accept the Igbo
Tag
Except ika/ikwerre
So they're not Igbo
Although the speak Igbo (together with there own dialect of Igbo language)
And most of them outside there communities claims Igbo
But the are not
Even the so called Delta governor of Delta State claiming Igbo, even went as far as introducing igbo language in school curriculum is from ika

So he is not Igbo
He just did that
To win the other Igbo communities like Asaba,enuani and co in Delta

KingOKON:
.

I concur.
Every patriotic Nigerian should seek to pacify the Ibos just like they did Yoruba in 1999
Only selfish people like Tinubu will seek vain glory instead of a harmonious nation

Jerryherd:




Abeg PDP must give Ibos their Presidential ticket



.

Sufferingboy:
Clark is an old goat,let him speak for his people.
Ifeanyi okowa is an Ika man from owa clan and he can contest.
Peter Odili is a Ndokwa man,from Ndoni clan and he can contest.
Rotimi ameachi is an Ikwerre man and he can contest.
We have every right to contest.Perhaps,developers from east can comtest too,but they have high political aparty in east,so na who go vote them in east?
Developers from east want biafuro drug republic,nigeria is a zoo to them.They don't want presidency.
Oshimili and aniocha should not contest,they are the one clark is talking too.

Uchasa:
Many Ikwerres like me can speak Igbo(Isoma) because most of our matrilineal lineage were of the Igbo stock. Most of our grandparents married Igbos, but we are not Igbos!

Faber:
Nawa o
I thought there are only Igbos in South East.

If you are here and you have Igbo roots and still claiming Niger Delta. Your shame dey shame me o. Even the North know say all of una na Igbo. At the appointed time they will remind you that you are Igbo.
The North said that Igbo killed the premier of the North Ahamadu Bello. The man that killed him is Kaduna Nzeogwu from Okpanam in Asaba. Is Asaba not among the so called South South and Niger Delta?


Ask Odili, Amaechi etc, they will tell you better.

Nigercity:
It's not Igbo presidency

It's south east presidency
They're seeking for

Anyway me personally
I don't have any problem with the South south Igbos contesting
I can accept Delta igbo excluding ika
And I also have no problem with Rivers Igbo except ikwerre

Anyway Edwin Clark is an Ijaw man
He should focus on his creeks
And stop doing attache by force
Which Ijaw people like doing
(Always trying to speak and claim Igbo, just like Asari, Hilda, good luck, timaya,preye and co faking Igbo)
