But . . but . . .but Rotimi Amechi (Ikwerre man) is seen here hustling to embrace his Igbo heritage

cc lzaa onyeoga pointzerom shallysgirl iceberg3

hustling in between tongues.......

is simply politics.......coz if abaribe and ekweremmadu didn't take it up....amaechi has clearly excluded east from the rail projects.....

I can't agree more with iloveanambra on his findings....

aniomafirstson:
.

kachikwu has never denied being Igbo
kachikwu is from the oshimili/aniocha axis in delta state and they are proudly igbos

we are yet to see that....coz kachikwu has never for once admitted been igbo....is a fact

Reelectbuhari:



I wish I can believe this.....in this present Nigeria arrangement.....


I hv once proposed....that north will agree for us to divide if east will leave south south for them.....and I hv always said if that is the condition then let the 5 eastern state.....leave and become biafra....

I bet u...u cannot know ur potential.....if u continue to drag people dat doesn't want to go with u........

Singapore to me is a good example.......

how many ss has agreed they are igbos........just 5% out of 100

5% . that means you don't know anything about south south Igbos

where you can even still find denials in delta state is mainly from the ika axis

I can confidently state that the Igbo denials in delta state are not up to 10% they are in the minority so stop making it look like a big issue

Reelectbuhari:



we are yet to see that....coz kachikwu has never for once admitted been igbo....is a fact

there's even a link on nairaland

he stated clearly that he is Igbo

you won't hear tony elumelu,okocha,Ngozi okonjo iweala say they are not igbos.. they are from the oshimili/aniocha axis

LMAO. They are still living in a fantasy world.
They speak Igbo language, answer Igbo names, dress like Igbo people and are surrounded by Igbo clans.
Ikwerre = Igbo.

cc lzaa onyeoga pointzerom shallysgirl iceberg3

concern is that Nigeria should stop playing politics

from Peter odili to omehia celestine to amaechi to wike....are these names hausa fulani.......

or did they bring up this Niger delta and igbos to pigeonhole some people accordingly in their devilish plan.....

I remember when this notorious criminal Igwedibia (aka Don wanney) from omoku rivers state was killed.....

punch newspaper didn't report it as a Niger delta man....but as an igboman.....from omoku in rivers....chaiiii.......chaii

so automatically Don wanney has moved from Niger delta to igbo....

am not making it a big issue just stating a simple facts....

for iweala I don't dispute that coz I hv even heard the father prof iweala...a retired lecturer from uniport fully declare that he is igbo...

TundeBricklayer:

Anambra really played critical role by influencing Anioma, I was in Rivers and discussing with my Ikwerre friend why they are denying being Igbo, he then told me they don't what to be sideline by fg like their kin in southeast, he went further by using Aba as case study, no infrastructure and what have you, average Anioma man or woman that visit Onitsha have no choice than to be proud of Igbo heritage, I could remember when Obiano invited Okowa for joint security meeting, also with former states of both states, majority of business guys in Onitsha leave in Asaba and do business in Onitsha, Igbo language is very common in Asaba, all motor packs, markets, churches, schools many from Anioma leave in Anambra, I went to my niece inter house sports in Asaba, they were proud of their Igbo heritage. Abia and IMO really need to play good role not the cat and mouse relation between Rocha's and Wike. Their major issue is fear.

i agree with u on this

Just goggle Asaba via Wikipedia or Enuani Dialect

den u wil understand that they are proud


even Ika too

wel the Founders of Igbo part of Delta are as follow:
Enuani people=Anambra

Ika people=Anambra Men vs Bini women

Ukwuani=Nsukka/Anambra ..

Don't be a bastard to spoil your best chance at Igbo presidency

We dont need to worry ourselves about those of them in the SS who deny being Igbo They need us more than we need them For them to win anything in Nigeria they need us .
For Secondus to win the PDP Chairmanship Wike had visit south east states to plead for their support.

We have 15 senators and over 30 house reps members from the SE while the igbos in the south south dont have up to 5 senators or 10 house of reps members
Those of us living in South south states are not getting anything free. We pay for our shop rent we buy their lands to build our house, we pay government levies so what are they doing for us that will make us worry about them being our brothers? Pls leave those of them who said they are not Igbos to pls go their way. We dont care about them. We can only care and embrace the ones that are proud of their Igbo Identity.

You have said it all.
Anybody that denies being Igbo does not deserve our attention.

Delta state North are proud to be Igbos


they wear de same red cap like Igbos

so proud to be Igbos

and Today they hav produced de greatest people in de whole Niger Delta...



as for Ikwerres they are not Igbos and can never be..

I agree with you Ikwerre are not Igbos and we dont care about them especially the Ikwerre of PH city. What have Ikwerre people to offer us? NOTHING

Well OP, you failed to state the writer of the Article you used in the OP, is an Anioma guy, from Asaba.

Personally , I don't believe in forced unity.

Nobody is worth being begged to be with you. Especially somebody that don't put food on your table.

Okowa is rumoured to be propounding a law that would introduce Ika, Enu-ani and Ukwuani, as independent languages to be taught in schools in those parts, and not the central Igbo we all learn in the SE.
While we in SE are striving for centrality with those people, their political and traditional institutions are striving for isolation and distinctiveness from us.

I think it's time we let those people be who ever they want to be, this unity begging and dragging thing had gone on for too long, and it's becoming embarrassing.

That's my own input.

It is not about what Anambra did or didn't do, Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogu, Achuzia the great biafran warlord is from Asaba, they were killed in their thousands during the biafran war like their kit and kin in the South East and I have never seen any Anioma person not just Asaba deny being Igbo its mostly the Ikas and the Ikwerres that openely deny Igbo.
Its not even about Rochas or Imo or Abia because even immediately after the war they started denying their Igboness whereas the Aniomas fought along with us, we died together and they have never for once denied their heritage
But nonetheless, I think Ohaneze Ndigbo has more work to do in this direction, but if they keep denying Igbo, then the best thing to do is to allow them be

. I quite agree with you. I feel so bad and embarrased each time i see some of us here forcing those people to identify with us. Its so annoying. If you are in ph and listen to radio station you will see the hatred that flows from them whenever they are discussing anything that concerns Igbos. People that have nothing to offer you rather they keep begging you for money all the time.
I used to give them before but i ve stopped. I can't continue to be patronising laziness.

I use to be a campaigner for Igbo unity from Igbanke (Edo state) to Isobo (Cross River).

But I know better now.
I joined facebook pages of these groups over the past five years, and got to psych their sentiments.

I tell you, most of these people are even more Igbophobic than non Igbo Nigerians, they have this strong urge to be strongly Igbo hating, to prove to their non Igbo neighbors, that truly, they are not Igbos.

You only encourage their folly, when you keep insisting they are Igbo , you do that, and they grow a sense of group importance and pour more hate on you.

Those people are broken and toxic, as a matter of fact, SE should stay away from them, before they infect US with their venom. Because I found out that the more time I spent on those their forums, and witnessed first hand their raw unwarranted hate for Ndiigbo, the more my hate for them increased.

Like I said, those groups outside SE are toxic, we should let them be.

As a matter of fact, I had made it a point to remind any of them, that claims relationship with Igbos, that they are not Igbo, that their non Igbo ancestors suffered from a very malignant form of inferiority complex, which culminated in them dropping their former languages, be them Bini (like most of them claim), Ijaw, etc, for a superior Igbo language, which they corrupted to create the current anomalies they now speak and call Igboid language.

I swear, there is no relationship between Ndiigbo and these people, the hate emanating from those quarters is toxic.
Many of them are praying for harm to befall Ndiigbo again, so that they can capitalize and steal more of our lands, that's how devilish they are.

Ignore them. Please don't even waste your time trying to educate them. They've made up their minds about SS Igbos. The hate they claim ss Igbos have towards them, they emit that same hate. Since I've been on this forum I've noticed that SE Igbos loves attacking, insulting and creating propaganda accusations on SS Igbos. This is a pattern I've noticed about them. You can correct, teach or scream as loud as you can, they never change their opinion and thoughts. Infact they'll start telling you story of someone they met, a group they joined or some bullshit that justify their accusation and hate. Just ignore them. You should go and ask why most of us SS Igbos that are on this forum, that used to get involved in this type of topic don't anymore. Belittling SS Igbos is their favorite past time.

Nice submission .
The comment of the person you quoted was unacceptable
They have forgotten that not only SE igbos fought Biafran war, SS ibos did like Achuzie even some minorities fought on Biafran side.
Imagine what he's saying.. that only SE Igbos should form a nation leaving their brothers in SS. So I should leave my brothers and stay with another person just because Nigerian government has called me a south Southerner ?

I think some of them have started falling for this tricks by Nigerian government. They have started generalising that the whole of igbos in SS are denying their identity without doing a proper research.
Its so unfortunate. I blame the FG .

Thank you my brother for your submission

I noticed the same thing too

This SS igbos especially the ikwerres are nothing to write home about.

The hate they have for igbos coupled with their laziness is alarming.

Let no igbo man deceive himself with any form of unity with this people, their hate is real and toxic and we out do them in many aspects of life so they continually fear our domination of them.

aniomafirstson:

It's not that they don't know, is that they don't want to know. They need a reason to hate and they try anyway they can to justify. They accuse us off allowing the divide and conquer to work on us but yet, they did as well. You can magnify the number of us that aren't deniers but as long as they can look at the miniscule deniers, as far as they concerned they are the ones that matters. Let's look at them attaching ika left and right yet ignorantly forgetting that an ika King aka the igbodo king is among the kings fighting for igbo unity. Obviously to them Agbor, Igbanke, etc matters, not igbodo, umunede, etc.

Hell one even had the fucking audacity to claim it's onitsha that brought back sense to Asaba and it's onitsha people the reason Asaba and others have embraced Igbo. Are you fucking kidding me? When have Asaba ever denied being igbo? Our people died because of our Igboness. Our people were slaughtered for refusing to denounce our igbo identity, my grandfather being one of them, yet these lots are here crediting "onitsha" as the reason for "back to senses”. Bleep out of here with that bullshit.
Last I checked, it's Anioma kings that have been fighting for Lord knows how long now for igbo unity. It's Anioma leaders doing anything they can to improve our identity as a tribe. What have their leaders been doing? ignoring their fights and request, writing articles and insulting our tribe collectively and running around trying to lick the asshole of any northern leaders for political gain. A SE King as well as his son is missing, possibly killed by the Niggerian army, yet their fucking leaders applauded that shit and even gave the person that did that shit a title. Yet we're the one accused of "claiming Igbo" only when it's for politician gain. NOI is now a denier that only remembered she's Igbo because of her abia husband and politicial position. Completely forgetting that her father, may he rip, have been one of the Anioma kings leading the fight for Igbo unity even before she became a politician and meet her husband but Noooooooo, it's because of them that she's a proud igbo. Rubbish

It's not just Anioma they display their dislike towards, it's others as well. If not for me informing them oyigbo people are proud Igbos... They were dragging them because of some shit they read of this forum without anything to justify it. Smfh!! Let them continue

. My dear brother you are right. Honestly their hate stinks but i am not bothered. We have made so much achievements than them and they cant catch up with us even in the next 10000 years. Ohanaeze should just remove them from their group
They will always need us. When it comes to election in an office/company or institution/association here Ikwerre people will beg igbos to vote their brother who is contesting with a Kalabari man. I usually vote for Kalabari or even Okirika man

Gbam. The Ikwerre have now become the entire Rivers igbo.
The Agbor, Igbanke, etc have now become the entire ika
The onitsha are the ones putting Igbo pride in enuani because of their "investment"
I bet you a billion if they can find one benue igbo that deny Igbo, they'll start dragging them to filth to.
Nonsense. I don't blame the FG for their stupidity. In the past maybe but not now, especially since I've seen more than enough SS Igbos be it here and outside inform them the inaccuracy if their generalization and they still refuse to learn. We should not blame others for their display, I now clearly understand what Asagba meant that "we keep stretching our hands for unity, it's SE Igbos the ones refusing it." We should just pity them. One day, maybe one day they'll finally turn around and look at us that are higher than the set they are focused on.

I started from the beginning.

No south east Igbo ignores the south south Igbo that is true to Igbo..that was why NOI , Utomi etc are still embraced as full Igbo but the south East Igbo would never embrace the likes of Laureta Onochiie and that type of Nkechi Bianze

The Asaba Enuani Igbuzor are correct Igbo ..that axis makes sense apart from ika (igbodo exception ) now in Rivers Obigbo are pure good Igbo towards Ndoki axis ..then Ukwuani are great igbo

So my brother the SE Igbo know the places they point nwanne madu
