who is this clown

Someone meant to correct your ignorance. You should be thankful...

Igboid speaking tribes comprising of Ukwuani, Ika, Aniocha, Igbanke, Ikwerre, Andoni and others, then followed by Ijaw, then Urhobo, Bini and lastly Efik

These are the five largest ethnic groups in South South

gidgiddy:
So when Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State told you all he an Igbo man, where was he attaching himself?

Aren't we tired of the insults, can't we just let SS be and agree with them that there's no Igbos there, I am so tired of fighting for tribe who deny their heritage

Ijoh:
1. IJAW 2. IBIBIO 3. URHOBO 4. EDO 5.EFIK

Igbos are the single larges tribe in South south even if u remove ikwere and ekpeye

You are obviously not from South south ...how many LGA are Efik ? Efik don't even own half of Calabar

You weirdos can finally stop arguing after the census is conducted. Nobody bothers to quantify how many people are in each group. This is pure foolishness.

The largest ethnic group in SS are the Ijaws: the Ijaws stradled almost 4 states namely; Bayelsa, Delta, Edo and Rivers.

followed by the Ejaghams in Cross River state. Ibibios comes third and then Ikwerre, Benin and Efik.

Ijaws are the largest by decent miles...

Rivers and Delta have 90% of Igbos in South South ... cross river have a sizable Igbo population
Edo igbanke as u know ... bayelsa have a few ...akwa ibom have a handful of igbo villages

The fact is, these people you tagged Igbos would swear the are not.

I am Ikwerre and if you stand before me and say i am igbo, i will nod your mouth... I have done it twice!

The op was talking about SS and you brought up your evil agenda.
una no de shame!

Ikwere are not the only Igbo in rivers state ...that's by the way some ikwere accept they are Igbos some don't that's there business

Ndoni are Igbos ...never seen an ndoni man deny being Igbos ...egbema are Igbos ....etche and omuma are Igbos obigbos are Igbos

Ekpeye and ikwere can keep saying they are not Igbos that's there business ...but ijaws , okrika , ogoni man , abua , would always see you as Igbos ...but that's your business

Tell that to Ifeanyi Okowa, who told the world that he is an Igbo man

You're a militant so arguing with this one is a lost battle already.

AnyanwuSilas:
Ibibio is the largest ethnic group in the South South After Igbo

Where do you have igbos in the south south

AnyanwuSilas:
So where do you place Igbo?

You have to face the reality.

Igbo is the largest ethnic group in South East and South South.

Efik is larger than Ijaw let alone Ibibio.
Ijaw is still minority in the South South

Ijaw is a minority in Bayelsa. Ask them who get Yenegoa

POLITRICS; THAT'S ALL IT IS. TRUTH IS IT IS AN INSULT TO ANYONE OUTSIDE OF THE SE TO BE TAGGED IBO. AGAIN, NO IBO IN SS. REFER TO CANNIBAL MAP.

Asaba Inlaw: "In This Whole World You Couldn’t Find Anyone To Marry But An Igbo"

Short story: One of my earliest and most persistent memories is this - near my village, 1 kilometer from Asaba, was a camp where people lived.
Who are they I asked - “Wa bu Ndigbo” I was told. Translation: “They are Igbos”.
I was confused. Aren’t we Igbos, but I said nothing.
Another occasion I heard some commotion in the direction of the camp. Oh don’t be worried I was told. They are Igbos. Again so thought but we are igbos!

Fast forward 3 decades.
A friend of mine from Aba who married from Asaba, over a beer told me “I can’t get over Asaba people. During my native law, my wife’s people kept abusing her in the same language I spoke. They kept saying ‘so in this whole world, you couldn’t find anyone to marry but an Igbo?’”
These are true accounts.
People from my area… even the indigenes of ONITSHA (I’ve been told) consider themselves Not Igbo.
I grew up seeing my people refer to others as “Those Igbo people”.
I have just learnt that the phrase “Igbo enwere Eze” was coined by core Igbos to separate themselves from the Onitsha indigenes…
Following that logic, Asaba nwere eze .... kedụ ka ọ ga-esi bụrụ igbo?
ka anyi biri n’udo nwanne m nwoke
m zuru ikpe m

It’s not an issue to be swept under the carpet. We need to consider it seriously.

Just because everyone in America speaks English doesn’t change their ancestry (some are of German, Italian, Russian, African, Chinese ancestry...).
Ancestry can only be determined scientifically by DNA analysis. My sister discovered she has ancestors from Mali, Senega... of course!! The river Niger flows through those nations before it passes the shores of my village which sits on the West Bank of the Niger net Asaba.

Bottom line, you cannot teach a man how to write with his left hand in old age.
The real issue is why so many Igbo speaking people reject the idea they’re Igbo. (Like some Egyptians in an interview I watched - who can’t understand why they’re considered Africans at all!).
Let’s have an academic discussion why!
We may learn valuable lessons.

Dont go to places like Asaba, Aniocha, Okpanam in Delta State and tell them they are not Igbo, they will chase you away with koboko

You go and tell the 95 year old king of Asaba and proud Igbo man, Obi Chike Edozien, that he is not Igbo, and he will curse your generations to come

uglodoh:
Where do you have igbos in the south south

There are Igbo in all the neighbouring States including North Central

There are Igbo in all South South States, including Bayelsa

The guy you're quoting is a Yoruba, all his posts are anti-Igbo

Ogiso, the progenitor of you Benins, was a son of Oduduwa and simple logic demands that a son cannot claim to have given birth to his biological father.

Get that simple fact and have basic knowledge.

Is lagos now South south

I'm learning a lot from this thread. I read a book sometime ago, the book explained that the reason ikwerres don't always tag along as mainstream igbos like those of South East and Delta State was bcoz a controversy happened btw d rivers Igbo(ikwerres) and d mainstream igbos of SE during the Biafra civil war.



Now I understand that controversy was deep-rooted that is why ikwerres find it hard to identify as igbos but deep down and realistically ikwerres are igbos.




Clearly up till date, some ikwerres will never say they are igbos while some will say they are igbos.
