not all! Owa people and Igbodo migrated from NRI. While agbor people were majorly kidnapped slaves who were ruled by a run away prince from Benin kingdom who married their daughter and ruled over them.
Obi of agbor and obi of owa are not in good terms till date because the latter always claim his NRI origin.

Lol,you Igbos nor well.Keep writing rubbish you want to create division among Ika clans? E nor go work,we done pass that level....

A lot of owa people claim to be Igbos only very few claim not to be. Many agbor people claim not to be Igbos, only few claim to be. Now ask yourself why Dorothy and OKowa has openly claimed to be Igbos.

Dorathy only wanted Igbos to vote for her,just the same dirty game Okowa is playing.....Igbos nor dey wise?

Ika, ikwerre and Ukwuani go too use Una head play ludo sha....

We need to be friends offline cos we share the same perspective. Actually, you spoke my mind. Exactly what I was trying to explain to someone today though you explained it in a better way. I was telling this person that there's nothing called tribalism. That tribalism is an illusion..an imaginary concept. God forbids I reject my own and support another tribe. Doesn't make good sense.
Same thing applies to racism

I hope you don't blame Caucasians or Asians for being racist to you and your kind?

Not at all, I have never. It's why I'm a staunch supporter of Trump. I admire Trump a lot for always protecting and putting his people first. Nobody asked us to have a failed country.

I'm a very objective person. Even if something doesn't favour me, I still speak the truth. It's why I've never fancied abroad. Can't imagine being a 2nd class citizen. I place a high value on myself.

What does it mean

Okowa is an Ika name meaning,a male child of Owa or a male child born in Owa.Owa is one of the clans in Ika land....Ask any elderly Ika person,if you think I'm lying.

Emefiene or Emefiele means "don't misbehave" in Ika language....

Ok that's good

That's means you should be in support of oduduwa country. I belive it will favour and serve your interest better instead of voting presidency because of tribe irrespective of competency

Besides Yoruba nation will favour yorubas more than Yoruba inside Nigeria

Armaggedon:
The barking slowpoke from obio akpor should now learn while licking his wounds from the sidelines.
No politician from the south south or Governor from Rivers state got the amount of free goodwill like wike got from the SE Igbos. He squandered it but also felt the people were cheap. look where he landed hmself.

The man was just stupid. Someone Igbos called a brother opened his mouth, denied being Igbo, called the Army into Obigbo

In a way, Im happy Wike showed his true colours early, Igbos like me would have fallen into the trap of thinking he was a brother, only realizing he was a Snake after getting into higher office

When it's time to stand for Biafra, south south count themselves out of Igbo's but when it comes to politics they remember they are Igbo's grin

Who is deceiving who?

Stay one place so we know where your thunder can locate you.

So there is no longer "we are Niger delta"

Anyway, you are Igbo true true like you said but you placed you with the likes of Ugwuanyi, ikpeazu, Rochas and co who can't get Igbo support.

And average Igbo man would rather vote a competent seyi Makinde or Osinbajo than vote Okowa or ikpeazu or Ugwuanyi or Hope Uzodimma for presidency

This is a typical example of the hypocrites who say "dont force anyone to be Igbo"

Nobody forced Ifeanyi Okowa to say he is Igbo, but the same people who said that no one should be forced to be Igbo, are the same people who want to force Okowa not to be Igbo

Hypocrisy is too much in this country Nigeria

"Okowa said, “For me, yes I’m from Delta State. I’m definitely an Igbo man. There’s no doubt about that. I’m from Delta State in the South-South, but if you’re looking at the Igbos across the country, I’m an Igbo man, I can’t be counted out and that is the true situation.”

Nigerians should stop pushing this ethnic question because it only serves to divide people, and not unit them. And Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign should do something to make sure his VP, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa learns how to brush away some of these ethnic questions so that it does not overshadow pressing issues for the campaign.

And Dr. Okowa should start to talk about what kind of issues Atikiu Abubakar presidency will prioritize if elected and why. So, Dr. Okowa, my advice to you is, you should start to talk policy, instead of ethnic issues. That is how to win the hearts and minds of the electorate.

What a stupid thing to say.

Selfishness for this same country wey Yoruba done be president for 8 years and vice president for 8 years and yet want to go for another 8 years presidency. Yet talking about southern presidency for fairness

And Igbos never even be vice president and you talk of selfishness. I no blame you sha. You be mumu..na whatsoever tribe you from na im selfish

Na civil war make Una dey talk all this nonsense.
The type of insults Igbos dey collect from this country no be small thing

Imagine how many others are discriminating against Peter obi and trying to work against him becoming president while at the same time trying to gaslight and lay false accusations against Igbos


Same Igbos that supported Obasanjo whole heartedly, supported yaradua. And we even carry goodluck Jonathan for head with nothing to show for it upon goodluck no be Igbo

Igbos were called wailers for voting Jonathan and the rest of the country blamed Igbos for trying to stop Buhari

But when bad governance enter it affect everybody and every tribe in fact despite we were sideline no be us still suffer am pass. No be us still get beggars or almajiris pass etc

It's well las las ndigbo will be alright we're too formidable against all odds

If tinubu or atiku becomes next president it's all good ndigbo will be fine regardless

Wrong, we are an ethnic group of our own with different dialect,if you Igbos want to vote Okowa fine,you should a concrete reason for doing that, however don't think because Okowa claim he's Igbo them Ika are Igbo,Okowa is a politician that is desperate and do anything for vote...

Igbos should stop being emotional,Una nor go ever learn....

Learn what? In the final analysis u being Igbo or whatever else u choose means nothing. Ika is Igboid whether u like it or not. Umunede, Agbor, Abavo, Akumazi, Umuocha, etc are very much Igboid. Claim whatever u like and don't be emotional. Ur kind always overlook what's important to drag what's not. Claiming a separate ethnic group for the sake of it, how does that affect me?

Do the research.... I am from Ika, owa-alero, the same place as okowa, and I can't deny being Igbo. The man who founded the village which we come from is known as odogwu who came on a boat from nri village in Anambra state.

All you kids, rather than confirm or do your own research, will just be arguing like kids. I am on my middle age, and I will be stupid to deny my lineage

Your story is very well confirmed in the Nri Kingdom website. Owa was amongst the numerous Anioma communities listed by the current Nri monarchy as one of it's direct descendants in the Ika cluster.

If you're not Igbo fine and good.

The annoying thing is when some align with Igbos and some don't align. W go come be like say na Igbos dey distance themselves from you guys

Ikwerr claim not to be Igbo yet they answer Igbo names and can hear Igbo fluently. At the same time when it suites them they claim Igbo
