The Igbos are only in the enuani areas. We the ukwuani people are not Igbo. No offence to anyone. It is what it is.

the people in Anioma area is majorly Igbo people. That's a fact that even the traditional heads there have made clear to anyone still in doubt. Okowa himself identified himself as an Igbo man.

We are not majorly Igbo people. How else do you want us to say it? Omor na wa ooo. Even Asagba of Asaba don tell una. Some of una start to insult am. Sometimes, listening to the other party is important.

You can't impose a tribe on people. We go tell you our root reach ground. Even areas i felt were igbos in Delta North have said otherwise. God forbid that i would start to argue a person's ancestry with them. You can't come to our communities to call us Igbo.

All of these ends on social media. Even visitors wen dey among us, we know them. No matter how long them don stay here.

NDC loading 💯 he better defect to LP,ADC or NDC.

That era of jumping to another party once you lose like peter obi does is gone for good of our democracy. That was why they were crying about the new electoral law back then.

Now you gat to be on the party register which must have been submitted to inec 30 days before these primary elections so thats why Peter Obi quickly joined ndc before they submit their register.

You sef una go just dey talk online but the rules una no dey bother read....it is like speaking grammer without being able to spell the grammer talkless of understanding what they say...like Peter obi supporters dem

I don't need to listen to what you're saying online, I've stayed in Onicha/Asaba for years, I listen to what the people themselves are saying in real life, not what someone who doesn't even understand the meaning of "Ifeanyi" is saying online. I have attended traditional weddings and burials and their tradition is distinctively Igbo, their languages Igbo and they bare igbo names. That's majority of the people I interacted with who are Anioma.
Even this Same Okowa identified himself as an Igbo man not too long ago.

If I start to query you on your ancestry right now two things will be revealed, either you don't know yourself or you're not even from Delta state

My people have spoken. Haven't they? You wana query me on my ancestry. Audacity is that you? Okowa use una play politics. But at least he spoke about himself only. Ned Nwoko too sef. But e nor come enter for am. When you are unnecessarily emotional about things, people will take advantage of you.

ericmor:
You don’t know the game. They always wait for the king party(APC) to do there primary before they do there own because some persons will defect after they are refused ticket in APC

The new electoral reforms don't allow defections.

Your people have spoken? This was just an election for card carrying members of APC. Unless you want to tell me you're only 4k in number
Okowa didn't use anyone for politics, his name says "Ifeanyi", guess what language that is? In fact 90% of Anioma language is intelligible with other Igbo dialects, do you understand what that means? Your traditions and culture are distinct Igbo, your lettering something.
If you're from Ukwuani as you say , then I challenge you to speak your native dialect let's see.
My former Boss in Lagos was from Anioma and he never misses the opportunity to tell me his ethnicity whenever we're in a private discussion.

It's a very weird thing tho, it's only online that you see people denying they're Igbo from Anioma, but in real life you hardly see this denials, which lead me to conclude that most of the people doing are probably from a completely different ethnicity trying to sow discord.

I nor owe you any proof. Ukwuani nor be Igbo. We nor relate.

We're not hearing about the other party primaries. Hope they are aware of INEC's May 30 deadline, or they are waiting to blame Tinubu again and accuse him of anti-democracy?

They are waiting for disgruntled candidates from APC primaries losers to catch

I know exactly how to unmask all these Yoruba boys masquerading as Anioma. A proud Ukwuani person will never hesitate to answer my question.

Make the man go rest abeg, as long as I can remember, he has been in the Senate for years and one of his achievements is running after young girls small enough to be his grand daughter, make him rest bikonu

Okowa have been a commissioner, SSG, senator, a former governor and want to return to the Senate. He has been in government more than Ned.

seunowa:
I don't want to laugh 😂. But people are very wicked oo upon all the things Ned Nwoko did for Delta North, this is how they will repay him. This is unfair and a total display of wickedness..

The governor of delta state was solely installed by okowa so this is expected governors have very huge influence on who wins primary elections.

You did not unmask anything. Leave Yoruba people alone. Nor be them do you. I nor need to tell you where I dey or who I be. See as you dey happy unnecessarily. Happiness in falsehood. How many Ukwuani people you know? You nor fit bait me.

you don't need to tell me anything, I already figured that out . My boss that I mentioned is an Ukwuani man .

By the way read this Historical journal by Paul Opone, he's a well seasoned historian and a lecturer in Delta state university.
https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ujah/article/view/166014

According to historical findings:
The findings indicate that Ukwuani people are Igbo in origin, and the claim of origin from Benin which textbook generalizations tended to portray is a recent contraption made possible by feedback in oral tradition."

Opone cannot speak for the whole Ukwuani. What do you know about us other than wetin google tell you? Take a trip down here. Primary research will give you answers to your questions. Nor dey find who nor dey find you. We must not be from the same tribe for us to live in peace. Learn how to respect people.

Opone is an Academia and a professor in Historian studies, he's an expert in the history of those who make up the Anioma and it's surroundings and the paper he published which I linked, written after conducting an extensive research on Ukwuani and neighbouring clans.
Anyone who dismisses Opone's papers is doing so out of ignorance especially when they haven't even read the research work in question.
You're telling me to take a trip down to where I have lived for almost half a decade? You're joking. I asked you a question which you have refused to answer, probably because you know what the answers would reveal. Anyway, I am very much aware that I'm arguing this matter with a total outsider so I will stop here.

You have lived there for half a decade. I am an indigene. It is home to my ancestors and I. We have made our point clear.

That’s true, I forgot. Thanks

Shut up your dirty mouth. Who tools u Aniomas are proud Igbo? Anioma is made u of Ika, Aniocha and Ukwuani. Ika is a language, the same way Igbo is a language. Stop spilling trash

GeneralOuki:
Did they tell you that Igbo are not indigenous to South South? His opponent bares the name Okowa Ifeanyi, which tribe owns that name, is it Urhobo, itsekiri or ijaw? The people of Anioma are proudly Igbo, where the state would be zoned to If it is created is where the debate is, but the ethnicity is never in doubt.

ika is a language is one of the most dumbest things I've ever read on nairaland. What next? Ngwa is a language? Bende is a language? Nsukka is a language?

If ika is a language please can you write the IKA letters and while doing so, tell me why Ika speaks a language that is intelligible to an average Igbo person, and then explain why they still bare Igbo names as their native names. Do that for all the other Anioma groups too.

Anioma people are proudly Igbo, at least real Anioma people that I've met, not some random unknown person on nairaland.

Obviously you are strangers to us, IKas

Ika aboriginals:

85% Edo

15% Yoruba and Igala forming ONE indivisible Ika nation and tribe

Ika has 17 dialects.

Igboakiri ancestors served ours

You're 85 % Edo yet speak no dialect that is intelligible to Edoids, and has no tradition or dialectic relationship with Yoruba.

All the IKA dialects are igboid and not even Bini. You dey whine yourself.

Here's what Ika people are saying concerning their heritage and kinship. Read carefully what their leader, Azuka Okah ( an Igbo name btw) is saying concerning their treatment by Edo ( who according to you are supposed to be closely related) and why they want Anioma and zoning it to SE.

ThIs is what cost your principal from West, Ukwunzu with Benin Idumuje-Ugboko royal blue blood his Senatorial position.....He argued that Okowa too claimed to be from the East but forgot that his( Okowa) was for a national position NOT indigenous one representing the ABORIGINALS.

Until Obi declared his stand with us and not being silent b4 he will see ANIOMA people's votes

You're just mumbling a whole lot of nonsense. The ika leaders have identified as Igbo, the Edo people have made it known that Ika are not Bini by marginalising and suppressing the Ika people, and yet you're here claiming ancestry with those who have made it known that you and them are not the same people. Ika speaks igboid language and not Edoid, their culture and traditions are closely igboid . Even Okowa himself have made it clear that he's an Igboman from the South South.
