We welcome anyone who wishes to identify as Igbo. We have our indigenous Igbos relatives in Cameroun, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Cuba, Cape Verde and many other places outside Africa. We are completely complete, we will not miss anyone 6 Likes |

Some people don't have a single sense. If the boundary commission had included part of Rivers state to Imo state, I believe by now those communities in Rivers will boldly claim to be Igbo. How can an imaginary line make people deny their tribe? Blacks are just a funny set of beings. 8 Likes |

paramakina202: He didn’t realise anything. The guy is pushing for more attendance at his show moreover, his mother is Igbo from Imo State just like Duncan mighty who says that his mother being Igbo gives him the right to claim Igbo. They should tell you if they filled Igbo as their ethnicity in their JAMB and WAEC forms or come openly to say “Ikwerre is Igbo and or my Ikwerre father is Igbo”. Mek ona rest it’s time to move on. |

Ballzproblem2: Being igbo is not invitation to be a Rivers man, anymore than Hausa from Chad or Niger are invited to be Nigerians. We don't invite Ijaws from Delta to claim Rivers nor Igbos from Anambra to claim Rivers |

His Igbo identity made him excel in his comedy career. All the Rivers Igbo gospel music artists who once claimed they were Ikwerre and not Igbo later accepted they were Igbo when they later realized that it was their Igbo identity and Igbo names that helped them excel in their music careers. Delta Igbos and Rivers Igbos only deny their Igbo identity during politics because they know that Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas hate Igbos and will be glad to accept and support them politically once they deny being Igbo; it's all about survival, don't blame them, if Biafra had survived the civil war, many Igbos outside Southeast like those in Benue, Rivers, and Delta will be fighting to join their ancestral root in the Southeast. Failure have no friend, while success have many friends. As Igbos failed to win the civil war, many Igbos outside Southeast started denying their Igbo identity in order to survive the post-war political battle between the 3 major tribes in Nigeria. As Northern Nigeria started failing in all facets of life, can't you see how Middlebelt people started to deny being tagged as "one North" with Hausa-Fulanis of recent? But back then when the North was reigning, holding on to political and military power, everybody outside Southern Nigeria happily identified themselves as Northerners. So it's all about success and survival, so don't blame Igbos outside southeast denying being Igbo, they are doing it for survival, especially political survival in the murdy waters of Nigerian politics where Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas enjoy ganging up against anything Igbo 6 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria has one of the funniest ethnopolitical elements. The only country in the world where one can easily switch from being a member of one tribe to another depending on the political situation.. Switching tribes in Nigeria is as easy as moving from one local football club to another 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Zurich808:You are right. Denying being Igbo helps you to get government favours like Wike and Oliseh initially but has now done a U-turn after he failed to get a role in Super Eagles while accepting being Igbo gives you favours in private business like Late Wigwe, Ned Nwoko, Sabinus, Austin Okocha etc 4 Likes 1 Share |

It is only an id1ot who thinks someone with the name chukwuemeka is not igbo. It's like saying someone with the name olumide is not Yoruba because he's from Anambra state. 2 Likes |
