Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh with my lips.
Educate us as well that Ohaneze constitution accepts members outside southeast whose mothers are Igbos.

Good luck to them! To those that keep denying their identity, don't carry that confusion enter 2025. There's no Ikwerre man that doesn't understand central Igbo.

You mean that Ohanaeze would accept people like Governor Adeleke and Gbadebo Rhodes Vivor to be its President because they are not from South East and their mothers are Igbo?

I am confused, why are we seeing all these Ikwere people here?

YOU SAID YOU ARE NOT AN IGBO MAN, STILL YOU WANT TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF OHANEZE NDI IGBO...... Hiaaaaaaaa!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Yoruba people has mislead many people in the Southern Nigeria.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just ignore the Igbophilic individuals who always concern themselves with the affairs of the Almighty Igbo tribe because they think they can create division in amongst us to weaken us? an imbecilic thought from them as usual...


Only a tribe from the Igbo nation like Abiriba, Nsukka, Agbor, Anioma, Ezza, Ikwerre alone can even knock out their acclaimed tribe



Igbo ga diiii!
