Why Some S-southerners Denounce Their Igbo Heritage - Obi Of Asaba by Macelliot(m): 12:28pm On Jun 19, 2015 |
The chairman of the lecture, Obi Edozien (The Asagba of Asaba), re-emphasised this point: “we Igbo people are one. We must stop fighting over irrelevancies and emphasise the essential.” http://nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/main-square/28995-asagba-asaba-why-some-igbos-denounce-their-heritage.html 16 Likes 1 Share |

Well the king has spoken, and all those folks from other regions coming on here pretending to be "South-South", at the end of the day, are deceiving themselves only. And for all the foolish Igbo people that campaigned during the last administration from all those state proposals, i.e. Njaba State, Adada state, etc, forgetting the obvious Anioma State, are also, deceiving their greedy selves. See how the lack of focus cost them a serious request for an additional state (or states). 2 Likes |

1bunne4lif: No one needs your approval to become Igbo A less than 50 years old state creation can not define the Igbos in the west of Igbo land. A man is not more Igbo than a man from Anioma just because he is from the part of Igbo land currently called 'south east nigeria' To some of my people forming Bini , you can admire a people without claiming you originated there, its even more embarrassing that benin people no even send una, try and get an influential position in Edo and watch how fast you are called Igbo. In the SE there are other subgroups within Igbo, the people still associate themselves with their subgroups but never forget that they are Igbos. We can all ally and push for our interests or be divided and watch our rivals exploit us. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

The igbos are closely related to people of delta state from agbor.........while the yorubas are closely related to the hausas,fulanis,itsekiris......I guess the line should be drawn from this emphasis.....the igbos and yorubas have nothing in common.....religion,tradition,culture........the igbos are related with the people of the south south with the exclusion of edo state.....they are more like the yorubas 8 Likes 2 Shares |

The Obi of Asaba should speak on behalf of his constituency.He cannot speak for Rivers State. If the people of Oyigbo are tired of being called Rivers people, they can swim across the Imo River into Abia state. Obi of Asaba should speak for himself..he should stop talkong like a fool. 4 Likes |

Longeria: When Ogbakor Ikwerre decided to push for the inclusion of Ikwerre as a separate tribe from Igbo, they did so after a careful observation of the history of Ikwerres. One fool in Asaba can decide for himself in his domain, he can never speak for a people unrelated to him in anyway. Go on Igbos and Unite, the Ikwerres wish you guys all the best. 4 Likes 1 Share |
