EmeeNaka:
Nnamdi Kanu requested for Guns and ammunition from Igbo people's Congress in US in 2015, 2 years before Operation Python dance. kanu had set out to be a terrorist. He had to start somewhere. Hate speeches, anti social behavior and threat of violence. Nigerian Army had to respond and government, having received enormous intelligence on IPOB terrorists plots, designated them as terrorist group. May God destroy IPOB-ESN and their sponsors and supporters.
You no be Igbo again?

Na u sabi. It is your choice. So claim for only yourself and leave Ikwerre people alone. Those map-drawing zealots do not understand the concept of choice, ironically same people are clamouring for secession.
Oga where did you see secession in the statement? Is it bad for him to identify with his roots and his ancestry? Why are you people so afraid? Why playing the old civil war trick. This is stale bro try and be wise and sensible.

To facilitate exploration of crude oyel in the Niger delta region, the soldiers from the north and south west had to employ divide and conquer and rule to exploit tactics. The soldiers told Ikwerre people to denounce their Igbo identity. To save themselves from being killed during and immediately after the
civil war, Ikwerre people had to deny their Igbo identity. Understandable, to save their lives. Muritalla Mohammed assembled hundreds of Igbos in Asaba and ordered their execution.
The soldiers did not tell them to deny their igbo identity.

They did it on their own to save their lives and also their land from ijaws land grabbers who sided with the FG during the war.

After the war ended. Ijaws couldn't take their land because of igbo denial identity which save them from extermination and expulsion from their land.

Ijaw land grabbers started to burn, loot and steal their properties including other igbo properties which they term" Abandon properties". Because they were the ones in government in the old Rivers state.

You see ijaws. We and them have big scores to settle because we will take our pound of flesh.

Attaché by force people, how does the opinion of a single man matter to the vast majority of ikwerres and there elders, who have vehemently rejected being Igbo grin

You lot should have some sense of self respect and let them be, they didn’t even return your properties after the civil war and they don’t sit at home every Monday grin like you lazy ipob terrorist.

I met quite a number of ikwerres during my service year in owerri and they have always rejected being called Igbo even my flat mate from Agbor have never accepted to be called ibo, so make Una rest, no be by force to be Igbo grin
You say majority. How did you arrive at majority what was the sample population? Can you give us the exact number of elders that have rejected igbos.

He is not Igbo and has told you so. You have your five states. He had the support of Rivers people to quell that insurrection by your people marching with unknown flags and causing mayhem.
And how is it your business? Oga this your hatred for igbos is a mental illness ooooo. Go and seek help.

Ikwerres who identify as Igbo should also accept those who identify as non Igbo.
You are not in a capacity to dictate that. The truth is Ikwerre people are igbos. This format to divide igbos has broken.

He is an Ikwerre man. He doesn't have to do any absurd thing you believe. This problem you people have with accepting this basic concept is why you have always failed in your struggle. Keep drawing maps and putting people in it. Tomorrow, you'll cry that you want to be free. The irony.
Ikwerre are igbos......... Kiss the truth

You are chasing a lost course. This is in the sense that the person you tried to explain things to knows the truth, buy has chosen to be eternally bigoted tribalist.
Methinks, EmeeNaka is one of those who were chased out of IPOB by Kalu. He has been rewriting history against IPOB.

Re: I Won't Deny My Igbo Identity- Mbata by wickedclown: 11:08pm On Feb 04, 2025
Now this makes sense....
However... While no one can or should argue with or challenge him over his claims to be Igbo, his brothers should also learn to respect people's choices when those people say they are not Igbo...
Don't begin to ask stupid questions like, if you're not Igbo, why do you bear Igbo names... Why do u speak a language similar to Igbo.... It's stupid really....
Alot of us bearing English names today, are we English??

We speak and write English... Does it make us English??

Even the trousers, shirts, face caps... Hoodies... Shoes.. Etc that we all wear.... Are they our culture?

People share similar ways of life for entirely different reasons...

War, migration, inter marriage etc are all factors that can make different people share the same way of life over time... It doesn't make them the same people....

grin mumu man, even the social political group, recently came out to denounce their ibo heritage and I’m sure you have met a few you have said it to your face that they ain’t ibos grin

I even site an example during my stay in owerri as a corper with the ones I came across grin and not just the ikwerres, even those from asaba,i ones dating one chikiama who also pick offence grin anytime I refer to her as ibo grin

She even confessed to me that are father was against her marry an ibo from the 5 Eastern states, and her dream was always to marry a Yoruba man grin

But you can keep deceiving yourself with your forced unity, ndi unity begger grin ever wonder why they don’t show solidarity for your Monday sit at home nonsense? Even wicked wike show ipob terrorist shege banza when they tried to import there nonsense to oyinbo grin

Have some shame and stop your forceful attachment because of oil and access to sea grin alaibo is barren and landlocked grin be content with your 5piece of land and stop your land grabbing agenda grin

Lol the Ogbakor man fighting for his pocket should be ready to Barnish almost 95% of
Creams of Ikwerreland just like Chief John Mbata they all embraced there Igbo background too Sophisticated to dabel into pety identity crisis
If u remove this men who remain for
Ikwerreland?

Sir Jack Mpi
Chief Obi Wali
Chief Oriji
Chief Joseph Wobo
Chief Okagbule Nwonodi
Chief Chibuike Amaechi
Chief O C J Okocha
Chief Emma Aguma
Chief Azuta Mbata
Chief Francis Ela
Chief Jack Omenazu
Chief Uche Okwukwu
















quote author=Noneroone post=134007755] well the reality is that no self-made prosperous Igbo person from Rivers state ever denies his Igbo identity, Just like Mbata who owns MCC construction company and late Wigwe of access bank. In fact, wigwe's father was a member of Ohaneze. This is also the same with celebrities and actors like Duncan mighty, Sabinus, Julius Agwu etc You see them proclaim their Igbo identity.

The only people who deny their Igbo identity are those whose political profiteering has turned to reprobates. They try to sell their identity in order to be able to feed. This is where wike falls. This is because such denial is historically linked to political gains.

The other group are the naive young ones who life haven't taken outside Rivers state.[/quote]

Elusive001:
The funny thing is that you are deeply pained by this statement by an illustrious Igbo son. That is, you are in sefia pains.

Secondly, deep down in you, you know Ikwerre is Igbo, but your eternal tribalistic bigotry has a better grip of you.
grin this your tears are delicious….how can I know ikwerres are Ibo when they have come out severally to deny ever being ibo? You are the one living in denial and seeking for validation grin

Your low inferiority stinks grin they ought to be the ones claiming to be ibo and that will give you pride grin but since you have no shame, so I don’t blame you.

Have you ever heard of Yorubas in kwara or kogi ever denying their Yoruba heritage or heard Yorubas dragging them to be Yorubas? grin
That’s the difference between us and you low inferior Igbo grin have some sense of pride and let them be grin stop disgracing your self grin

.you must really think that every rivers person is a fool like Wike who used left fingers to point at his father's house because of politics .

God has shamed Wike in rivers state just at the right time.
Tinubu should forget winning rivers state because everything that Wike hates is what the current governor like and everything that Wike likes is what the governor fubara lead administration hates in Rivers State .
Tinubu understood the import of Mbata and Fubara regarding 2027. The shift informed his being the first to congratulate Mbata. Realignment of forces. The president understood Wike's influence as to votes in 2027 was gone. Tinubu understood Wike was Mbata's boy-boy. The man who first tutored him in politics.

You mean, that I subscribed to IPOB-ESN terrorism at some point? God forbid!!! Chukwu jukwo ede eke. Afa m bu emee n'aka, a malu dike. Ejighi Igbo agwa ya onye ocha. Go and check my post since 2015, I have always consistently identified terrorist intent of IPOB. I have followed their behavior from 2015, and it was glaring that they're a precursor of great evil.

Wike collects wotowoto these days o cheesy
not only wike share this views and u knw it.... My former boss from delta, have reminded me several times that he is not igbo, despite speaking igbo fluently also my medical doctor colleague, also from delta shares the same views despite his igbo names.... The reason they all gave is similar to dis, they share both igbo and Benin ancestry and claiming one part would be bad... Also when someone or a group of people refuse to identify with someone or a particular tribe, it shows that they've been treated badly by that tribe in d past.... Maybe una Don call them osu in the past, u never can tell

Just one man claiming to be Igbo brought so much joy to them
There is joy in heaven over one repentant soul.
Mbata is even more than one repentant soul, he is one person they address as "They".

Wike is finished totally. Let me see how a man with an identity issue will control rivers politics
You talk like a child. Is Rivers state an Igbo state? Wike controlled Rivers state for 8 years and currently the minister of Abuja (Prime minister of NIgeria) and yet a lowlife like you who’s father was too lazy to amount to something says Wike is finished. You’re a joker.

Ohaneze president has no job in Rivers, his job is to keep the igbos all over the world united and not the minority igbos who are half Ikweres in River state.
