Igboid, I told you you're irredeemable so I decided to give up on exchange words with you on a faceless forum. You've succeeded in posting junks and junks upon junks. I read your lifted articles and I laugh. For your information, Ika is very wide with different dialects. It's a well-known fact that Ekpon rearrange Ika words in there sentences but your examples doesn't make any sense. Ekpon uses the "ya" "me" so often in their dialect but that's not exclusive to them. The Owa people and Abavo people are fond of doing that as well. Igbos don't know their history. Igbo history doesn't make any sense at all yet they come and tell you how insensible your own history is.

You don't understand ika language, culture and traditions so it's normal for you to believe whatever you read online that soothes your opinion. But I as an ika speaker, I can point out all the flaws in your copy and paste but I'm not going to do that because it's pointless. My responding to your mentions is also pointless.

lereinter:
this is what political tribalism and sentiments has caused, and all this started from the gej era, everybody began to fractionlise themselves cos of appointment.

even when kachukwu was given minister of state for petroleum he was rejected by ibos calling him delta ibo..

Earlybird81:


On the contrary Yoruba's don't even know the difference btw Delta-Igbos or Igbos.Once you are not Hausa or Yoruba,they refer to you as Igbo.Simple!How can a non native be the one to tell you where you belong?Isn't that funny and a bit shameful for the natives?

mnairaland:



I am aware that manyIgbos on nairaland did then.

Igboid:
Any proof of this accusation? I dare you to post the link ASAP.

Igboid:


Lol! If this is a face saving way of admitting your ignorance, I'd have mercy on you and stop pounding you with facts.

Now scram and never come back here.

nextstep:
There is Anioma, and there is Igbo.
There is America, and there is England
There is Mexico, and there is Spain
There is Brazil, and there is Portugal.

Each pair are distinct, separate peoples, though they speak the same language.

mnairaland:


OK.just give me some time.I will dig it out and mention you.

mnairaland:



My Ibo brothers, this man has answered your questions.

Like Ikechukwu48 said, I don't believe that he is from Anioma. Notice how he switched from accusing me of not being from Anioma to saying that the "Igbos don't know their history". If he is indeed from one of the Anioma groups under dispute, which I highly doubt, then it is him who does not know his history. How can he expect us to take his arguments seriously when he can't even identify the full extent of Anioma land?

I don't usually like to get involved in threads such as I don't really care that much for other people's lies and propaganda. However, I've come to notice that a lot of people are starting to believe the nonsense they write. That's why the likes of @coolitempa, a Yoruba poster (I assume) thought it okay to come on a thread populated with mostly Igbos and say that my people are not Igbo but rather Bini. That is the last straw and I will not stand for it anymore. The next time I see someone try to question my people's Igboness again, they will have hell to pay .

Ivoryred:
which part? Am from there too.

Igboid:


There is possibility of him being Bini, but also know that I had seen Ikas that behave exactly like him, so there is still the possibility of him being Ika.

I understand though how you feel. You should try to not take these online things to the heart that much. Just debunk the lies and go your way, don't let it get to your heart.

uckennety:



Is ika not igbo?

Jus Like ngwa nn co

Abagworo:


Ika speech is so Igbo but the people in recent times seem to reject the Igbo tag. I see them as useless to the Igbo nation hence my total rejection of them being in any Igbo meeting. They actually have nothing to offer. Igbos should isolate any part of Igboland that isn't proud of their Igboness. Aniocha and Oshimili are proud Igbos and will always be welcome in every Igbo association.

Igboid:


There is no brotherhood between Ndiigbo and Yorubas.
Other than that we are both Negroids and share the African continent with hundreds of other negroid ethnic groups.

Biafra will even have the option of joining central Africa region, instead of West Africa.

mnairaland:


Just saw this now. If you must know, I am not and will never be tribalistic.

Igboid:


Everyone is "tribalistic", nothing wrong with that. We are all looking out for the best interest of our various groups.

I'm pan African, and believes that Africa will be stronger once real nations emerge from it, and not colonial abominations that liter the continent presently.

I don't hate any African group, but I become aggressive when African groups seek to impose demonic union on me.

mnairaland:



No you are wrong. I am not tribalistic. Zik was nationalist while both ojukwu and Awo are tribalist. And I disagree with you.Tribalism is bad.

Igboid:

Even those promoting Nigerian unity are only doing so because they are convinced their group's interests are better protected and served under the Nigerian entity. Not because they love Nigeria or other groups in Nigeria.

Igboid:


How exactly was Ojukwu a tribalist?

mnairaland:

People who emphasized tribe are trubalist. Both Ojukwu and Awo emphasied tribe and were passionate about their tribe.

Igboid:


Ojukwu protected the interests of Eastern region. Not just those of Ndiigbo.

He was not against United Nigeria, he was seeking for a Nigeria where Justice and equity reigned. Those who were bent on imposing injustice rejected that version of Nigeria he proposed, and instead went about screaming "one Nigeria", a version of Nigeria that protected the interest of their own groups.

Yet they were supposed to be the nationalists, while Ojukwu must be a rebel for rejecting their own version of Nigeria?

Did you notice that I said Awo was a tribalist? Of all Nigerian leaders I know only one nationalist :Zik. I hope that aswers your question.
And you said you are not "tribalistic" ?

Ngozi123:


I agree with you that I shouldn't take such things to heart and I will continue to debunk the lies that they purport. I don't actually care whether someone considers themselves Igbo or not as that's their problem; the problem arises when people try to distort facts in order to suit their own agenda. I won't be a part of that nonsense and I implore all Igbos in these disputed areas to do some proper research into their history and not allow their elders, traditional rulers or political leaders to do their thinking for them. As for your point about the possibility of him being Ika, I would disagree with that as an Ika person would at least know that there are Anioma people outside of Delta State. The way he said it to me made it seem that he was totally convinced that Anioma people were restricted to Delta State. That's something that someone who's not so familiar with the area would say.

Nwoke oma, daalu.

I'm an Anioma born and brought up. The only recognized Anioma town outside of Delta and Edo States is Onitsha. What do you know about Anioma history and culture? What makes Ogbaru and Ogidi and those other Eastern towns Anioma? Forget what you read in textbooks and face reality. What links do these places have with Anioma that will make Anioma become Igbo because someone in this heart of Igboland is Igbo. You can deceive yourself all you want but as far as Anioma people are concerned, you are not an Anioma person. Nobody includes you in any happening in Aniomaland.

blues20:

Boy you should go sit down; your post reek of emotion and void of reason.
