even badagry people aren't yoruba seff
Egun/Ogu people are part of the Gbe people in the same group with the Fon/Dahomies, Adjas, Mahins and so on. They are a product of the Yorubas that mixed with the Ewes and they fled from Allada to settle in badagry and other places because of wars and attacks from the Dahomies. Many were more yorubanized when they were under Oyo empire, but even still, many Ogu people will tell you they are Yoruba lol. I have Ogu friends from Ajase.

Why do ikwerres deny their Igbo roots?

Useless thread!
Go to The Palace of Asagba of Asaba and tell him he is not Igbo and see if your head will follow you back home that day..
Thread should be closed!
Stop instigating violence in Nigeria.

All these kids in Nairaland that lack a sense of history, should stop bringing up trends that they know nothing about....!
I really do not blame u, I blame the govt that rob u off the knowledge of your fatherland.
But lucky nairaland should be a platform for you to learn, not to portray your ignorance.

IGBO WAS IN EXISTENCE BEFORE THE TERM 'SOUTH-SOUTH.'

SOUTH SOUTH STARTED IN 1998 WHEN ABACHA DECIDED TO REGIONIZE THE STATES TO BE A BASES FOR POWER SHARING.

Lol, a fool created a stupid thread yet people couldn't decipher his aim?

The same Asaba where the young coupists of 1966 like Nzeogwu came from? They called it Igbo coup and assassinated 30,000 Igbos living in the North because Nzeogwu from Asaba killed Saduana of Sokoto. So in retaliation, they killed every Igbo they saw in the streets of North.

The same Asaba that share almost virtually everything in common with Onitsha including language, cultures and tradition?

Yet fools are arguing rubbish just to cause confusion among Obidients.

Anyways, Asaba is not Igboland, it is Fulani land. Can we now focus on the coming electionhuhhuh??

Wetin you dey talk?.... Are you talking about war you Force them to involve.

The Hidden agenda of Igbo is getting clearer
Na wao, the Igboes that participated in the coup which initiated the war against east central state are ifeajuna and chukwuma nzeogwu, both of whom are from same asaba area , Southwest and north still call it Igbo coup because of this same men, but will turn around and say asabans are not igbo, if South East claim asaba is Igboes, speaking from both sides of the mouth is the signature of liars

Even among the Ijebus, there are conflicting claims to the source of origin depending on the political intention of those concerned. Irrespective of these claims, the Ijebus are united under the leadership of the Awujale of Ijebuland and this unity is the strength of the people as exhibited by their achievements in the past 40 years of the reign of Oba Sikiru Adetona, Ogbagba II.

Dude wtf I am literally ijebu are you trying to tell me my identity? Why do you like projecting your problems on us?? Does it make sense to you that we are from Susan in east Africa? Did you read the details.... HRH Awujale is a first class king in Yorubaland and he promotes Yoruba unity. Funny how you mention ijebu but still hate Awolowo an ijebu man and see him as Yoruba.

You know I can start coming with SS and videos of Aniomas denying their roots? You can deny and project as much as you want, it won't change the fact that you know how they deny their roots and even claim Benin ancestry. I once met a Chinedu who said he is Delta ibo but his ancestors migrated from Benin.

Rotimi amaechi is a politician, you know they say this kind of things for political reasons, Ikwerres have made it clear they are not Ibos, and Wike even murdered several Ipob members when they tried to disturb Oyigbo people.

Asaba is purely Igboland and nothing to be disputed about. It is not in Southeast geopolitical zone but then the North of Delta State is Igbo including the present Governor Okowa. The Central and Southern Delta State are Urhobo, Itsekiri, Isoko and Ijaw. That facebook post is 100% correct

@bolded
He is right. Migrating from Benin doesn't change his ethnicity because some Igbos were living in Benin and moved out after quarelling with a wicked Oba around 14th century. Many of those Igbos settled in Etsako,Igbanke and Ekpon area of Edo, Delta,Anambra and Imo States. Some ethnic Edo tired of the Oba's high-handedness came along with them as well.

Even Isoko is more than Ijaw. Delta State is directly Urhobo vs Igbo in population. Urhobo is slightly more in number but Igbos have more LGAs and host the capital city.

Look at this Itibolibo, Was there any people called Anioma during the British expedition?.. The Anioma in present day Asaba settled as a result of migration from the old Benin empire.
It is also instructive that the Midwest wasn't created as a result of marginalization , Awolowo was a proponent of minorities having their independent states from the major tribes, hence moving the motion at the federal house. While Midwest was created through referendum, Azikiwe rejected the call of COR minorities their rights to independent states.
Awolowo was never a proponent of minorities having independent regions. He was just a cunning character who was caught up with his tricks. The so-called proponents of minorities having independent region totally forgot his region was full of minority. The sentence in red is another silly and falsified claim by Yoruba. Awolowo could not have moved a motion while in federal custody.

The people of the south-south region who are fed up with Igbo people trying to claim things that don't belong to them fought back on Facebook today after Igbo Admin claimed Asaba city in Delta State belongs to Igbos. 

They caution the Igbo to stop taking their silence for weakness by claiming everything that belongs to them. It was once Port Harcourt; now it is Asaba, and very soon they will claim Edo State. Asaba does not belong to igbos, asaba is igboland. Nobody is claiming anything here. It's inhabitants and indigenous peoples are of the Igbo race

Meanwhile, some Igbo historians who are also in the group are explaining how the Igbo own the whole south-south, including Asaba.

They claim that the Fulani were the ones who brainwashed them and created the south-south to separate them from the Igbo, who are their real roots, because there is nothing like that in the geography of the world.

Lol. You know about 75% of Ndokwa East is Isoko, right? This one that your map swallowed the whole of Delta state so. Some Isoko cities are in Rivers state with Isoko traditional ruler, or you think those that came up with the South South map did not know what they were doing.

Ndokwa East is not 75% Isoko but rather has some Isoko settlements hosted by the hospitable Igbos. Many Isoko clans originate from Igboland anyway so we're all brothers.
