@agbotaen...no matter how hard u try to educate some folks here, dey wud just kip bin stupid n insultive..d best way dey can kno d truth is by bin in d midst of ika people n get concrete answers..even wit the language affinity btw yoruba n itshekiri, annang n ibibio, urhobo n isoko, dey remain distinct..i dont kno d argument here..dat d american speaks english doesnt make him an english man..

oturugo:
Shut up your stinking mouth. Anioma is not in the east, we all know that. But Igboland did not end in the east. Monkey, you may not be Igbo, it is accepted but do not make it seem as if Anioma people are not Igbo. Idiott

tell an ikwerre man he is igbo n immediately he gets angry.. same with many anioma ppl..stop blaming d anioma n ikwerre ppl n starting asking why many of dem dont lyk bin regarded as igbo..

Ojiofor:

Good question nwa Mazi....as they say success has many friends/relations while failiure is an orphan....if the Biafran war had ended in our favour who will hear all these denials of not being Igbo?If we had won all of them will trace their roots from Nri to Aro all the way to OKigwe and Umuahia.Mind you before the war all their political leaders were paying homage to Enugu.They forget nothing last forever!

for the record, anioma wasnt part of biafra..biafra was old eastern region, comprising of the present anambra, enugu, ebonyi, imo,abia, bayelsa, akwa ibom and cross river state..although most anioma ppl fought 4 biafra n yet when it got to state creation in 1996 ur leaders felt dat a useless ebonyi state was much more viable dan an anioma state n later on when d issue of state creation came up we stated hearing adada, orashi, aba, orlu, njaba, orimili, etiti state..some1 shud admit dat igbo has neva treated anioma well 4 dem 2 be happy.

Preshioux: tell an ikwerre man he is igbo n immediately he gets angry.. same with many anioma ppl..stop blaming d anioma n ikwerre ppl n starting asking why many of dem dont lyk bin regarded as igbo..

Once again shut the hell up. Unlike you, Anioma people do not deny Igbo except a tiny bit of IKa and Ndokwa. It's rare to see an Igboman from Oshimili and Aniocha areas denying Igbo except your silly being. Even the Ikwerres you keep mentioning has not collectively denied Igbo. Get a life poor boy.

Anioma wasn't in the east but the war was not just for the east but for the entire Igbo race which included Anioma.
On state creation, you must be one uninformed dude who never knew that Anioma, Wawa and Abia state demands were submitted by Ohanaeze to IBB in 91 before he chose only two.
Dude, you are not Igbo and unintelligible forks like you are not wanted to be Igbo. Beast of identity crisis.

bini call ika eka and not igbo , the bini know the difference between ika and igbo , so get that right and your propaganda will not work , igbo is an ethnic group due to influence of british , and so it became an ethnicity and so ika is today an ethnicity because we ika people say so , our fathers made the first declaration in 1930 that ika is not a member of any ethnic group in nigeria , and so that was why biafra failed in ika as our fathers also made that declaration that ika is not igbo , we might not have the huge population of igbos or any body but we sure have and know how to survive and be relevant , and that is what we did in western nigeria , when ika had two ministers ,and under midwest we had three ministers and in delta we are still exelling .
2. the relationship between ika and benin cannot be severed even with all your propaganda ,ika is a distinct ethnic group different from igbo or benin

Am from idoma and my mom is from igala in kogi but to be honest with you all , i feel alright when people call me ibo guy.

Oneday around 2009 here in abuja as we are driving along a path behold some police catch us and ask us where we are from, i said am ibo but
my friend who is driving and a pure iboman from rivers state deny his iboness and it shocked me, when we left there i ask him why and he said
"Whenever he accepts his iboness b4 any nigeria gov watever his case will be worse"

Then i know that nigerian war against ibos is still on in a cold front.

Though i tell him that i will regard myself as ibo anytime than allow myself to be called an aboki.

d word ANIOMA is just a political name which was concievd som yrs ago...its a socio-cultural and political movement which tend to bring 2geda all d similar ethnic group in Delta north senatorial distric...A-aniocha,N-ndokwa,I-ika,O-Oshimili,then MA is just an attachment which makes it meaninful called ANIOMA(good land).....Ndokwa was d 3rd largest ethnic group in d defunct Bendel state.Ndokwa is the 2nd largest tribe in delta state after d uhrobos,and its also d Largest in Anioma(delta north region) tnks ..its just like,for example,in EDO state,the bini,esan,etsako,and owan(ethnic similarities comin 2geda to achieve a political goal)

Ndokwa is not larger, either by land mass or by population size, than Enuani. Tnks.

How slippery the road to self denial and identity crisis can be. From promoting Anioma to an ethnic group, to breaking it down to Ndokwa ethnic group all in an attempt to wrestle the governorship post from the rest of their western Igbo brothers. How long before Ndokwa ethnic group breaks down into Ukwuani and Ndokwa ethnic groups? Foolish people never learn.
Greed and foolishness have always been the fuel on which Igbo denial and Identity crisis run on, and in this Ndokwa case,it is once again made manifest.

Wulfruna:

By Enuani,you mean Ika and Oshimili/Aniocha?

pazienza:

Enuani is just Oshimili/Aniocha. Ika is different.

agbotaen:
1.well if ika people were caught kidnapping ,how does that concern you oo or are igboss not king pins in kidnapping , smuggling , armed robbery and rituals ,
2. i will advice you to go to igbodo right now and that is the ika town where some of their people like claiming to be igbo and ask them why the town people chased away the igbo-ebonyi woman their obi has chosen as wife, they said she is not ika and even anioma or edo .that is food for thought for igbo propagandists.
3. ika is influenced by igbo or had igbo migration ,but we dont hide that after all we have lots of igbo words in our language , but we also realise we have lots of benin culture, language and way of life and even yoruba and other cultures in ika and that is why we say ika is different from igbo and ika cannever be igbo, our ways are different, most times i associate with igbo people i see a lot of differences in the way ika people think and the way igbo people think and we also have different cultural ideologies , i am not saying one is superior to the other , they are just different

Ika this Igbo that. For crying out loud just grow up. Who cares what place you came from? What matters is that we join hands together and build this one nationality "Nigerians" we all have in common. Outside the shores of this nation no onesknows any damn Yoruba, Igbo, Ika, Hausa, Nupe, FUlani, Urhobo, Edo, Calabar etc. BE wise and stop bickering. No one is forcing any identity on anybody. Forge your own by all means but make sure you don't just take the language of a particular people and brand it Ika or Anioma or whatsoever. By all means be original and unique, get a language first then let's see how someone would hear u speak it and still call you an Igbo person else you all would be likened. To the Wole Soyinka's butterfly that thought themselves birds. One Love.

no ethnic group will want 2 attach itself to a tribe whose DNA is all about greed,cheatin,disrespect4others,braggin,money rituals,always claimin superiority .etc...im sure very soon ur people will soon start claimin superiority over americans & dat wil be d end of ur igbo race..ofitor Ugboko like u!!

The only time Igbo will take this urchin serious is when their prominent men and kings come out yo say that they are not Igbo. But I know the pure blood won't say that .

In anioma land we have immigrants from run away Benin felons and they came to Igbo land which is anioma to seek refuge . We respect your ingkirious history and that is what you are . Sons of immigrant felons from Benin and don't soil the name of anioma with their kiths in Igbo land .

Igbo land has gone pass that level we have evolved to a force to be recognised internationally

As of Emeka asogbue he is deluded . His name is too igbotic his surname very igbotic . He was not given a position in igbo association so he turned to a black sheep

A run away nun always talk I'll of the monastery


Igbo has about 35 million people so we are not in need of population abs when you say we don't want to be igbo

Speak for yourselves. My wife and my cousins in law are just too igbotic

Its only never do well that say these thing

Look Igbo ethnicity is doing very well and I am too proud to be anambra man and I love my anioma people especially my Asaba and ogwa peep

Anyi bu ofu

Unu ekwene ka ndi iro tinye nsogbu na etiti umu Igbo

They are not comfortable with our success

Look at what they did to ikwerre


Ikwerre is a disgrace to Igbo

Amechi went to aba and said he is Igbo and Igbo told him categorically they have disowned them


They are pillaging their resources while ikwere man is the least developed man in skills


I weep

So umunne anyuko mamiri onu ogba ufufu

We Igbo are strong people they envy us


Anyi bu ndi onu nuo

My brother Igbo and idoma have cultural relationship for centuries we have the same nuances and we look alike oour languages are interwoven and we do not have issues and with idoma people that's a fact

Its only idoma that Igbo have historical relationship with in middle belt ..it is evident in names and culture

So that is blood

Ikwerre people have been disowned by Igbo and if Nigerian war is on Igbo why has Igbo taken up political position why has Igbo made so much progress that most people that did not fight the war


Ikwerre and ika people ate the Igbo clans that have self confidence issues and their identity crisis is terrible and they are the ones with less human capital develooement index

Ananmbra man is a very confident man just like the eastern states

So is Asaba and ogwashi ukwu

Pure Igbo man is confident and proud

We don't have watery dick men . We can fight the whole country again if we are tried on. That is bravery my man

Ika hmmmm
Ikwerre forget them

OneNaira6:
Ha biko kwa nu. I was not blaming nor pointing fingers at anyone. I was just giving input and trying to explain to afam about what usually turns a "pro-igbo" anioma into a "I'm not Igbo" kind of person. Yes to SE being called fake-igbo is nothing to get all bent over about and it's nothing to worry yourselves over but to SS Igbo, that word holds a lot of negative meaning. There are some strong enough to take it while there are those that aren't. It kinda similar to how many of una get all bent out of shape when Anambra peeps speaks of their self-made superiority to the rest of Igbo clan and how they are the father of Igbo people. Some of una are able to take that insult while some are unable to do so thus lash out against Anambra people.

My brother, you are very wrong! The problem with so-called Delta Igbos is a deep rooted inferiority complex and a desire to distance themselves from the Igbo-pariah status in Nigeria. Let's call a spade a spade!! The irony is that most of the issues that led to the dislike of Igbos were foisted upon them by the Delta-Igbos!! Its the greatest treachery ever!! When I run into someone and I ask to know his/her tribe and I get the reply: "I am from Delta", I immediately know it is a Delta Igbo in 8 out of 10 cases!! An Urhobo man will say he/she is Urhobo, so will an Itsekiri or Isoko person!! Its a real shame!!!! How do you convince me, and Ohafia man, that Ika is less Igbo than me? Shame on you all!!!

Eziokwu ka ikwuru

Sometimes their behaviour can be shameful and they put us in this mess

1. when i defended the uniqueness of ika and the resolve of ika ethnic nation not to belong to any larger ethnicity such as benin or igbo , people were crying wolf.
2. ika people are very confident in our believe and thats why we have been able to make break throughs , i also said if power will come to anioma or delta north , it will be an ika man , i said that about 2 years ago and it has almost come to pass.
3. by the grace of oselobue and the ehi of ika nation , and our ighaigho and sakpamaghori , we will become the next gov of delta.

Ifeanyi Okowa, by mere looking at his name "Ifeanyi", one can clearly see that he doesn't share your Ika rubbish, or atleast his family is pro Igbo enough to give him a central Igbo name "Ifeanyi" , instead of an Ika variant of the name.

Ifeanyi is a consensus builder, he didn't get to where he is today by playing your local Ika politics. The Ukwuanis that were playing local Ukwuani politics, we saw how it ended for Obuh their candidate.

Because he is bearing an Igbo name, that means he and his parents are proud Igbo people. Sometime, I wonder if these easterners just chose to be foolish or if that's the way they actually are with the way they try to make their points in any argument. BTW, Ikas have variants of any Igbo name but they always end up giving the Igbo variants. That's why you still see Ikas answering name like Kelechi instead of Kpanminose, Chiedu instead of Ehiedu etc.

And again, Obuh is not Ndokwa but a pure Agbor man.

tonychristopher:
BUT ITS A FACT

Bros, that's no fact at all. If truly you actually thought that to be a fact, that means you certainly don't know anything about the Ikas. Except you just wrote that to deceive some gullible people.

An honest mistake on my part,i meant to write Ochei, not Obuh.

Yes, his parents must be pro Igbo enough to give him the central Igbo variant of that name, "ifeanyi", if you are too angry with that,go take otapiapia.

Btw, "Ifeanyi" is not an "Igbo" name, it's an Anambra central name, but was chosen by the rest of Ndiigbo unknowingly as the standard form of that name.

We all have variants of that name in our own lects, eg Iheanyi,Iveanyi, Heanyi,etc. But like Iron to magnet,we are all drawn to the Anambra central variant, because it's lighter and sweeter to the tongue. That's the pan Igbo spirit working.
