Say Eastern region, Igbo and South South minus Delta and Edo. No part of Delta and Edo was part of Eastern region.

no you're not. You can't be Igbo under fair weather and ikwerre when there's a bad one. Obi walk created the ikwerre identity so you guys can take over igbo properties and work in oil company. Now oil is slowly losing its value and you're Igbo again. We haven't forgotten how wike and your people supported Obigbo massacre. Bkayy

The clown that you guys are attacking is your fellow Igbo man that is not proud of who he is, but impersonating just like many of you do.
He is the same person as Ezewuzie01 and he is not Ikwerre. You guys should be guided and channel your insults to the right direction.
