Obi of Onitsha wanna be Oba of Benin so badly its pathetic. Igbo have no kings. If any Igbo group suddenly have kings, its because they are diluted mixture bunch that were chased away from foreign land with a foreign culture grin

Meanwhile the first Eastern governor from 1960 - 1966 was Akunu Ibiam from Uwana, Afikpo North LGA. Before he handed over to Ojukwu, let it pepper your weak ego
Little history book.....from abakiliki.

See this one talking about language. Even Imo whose sweet Igbo was chosen to be used as central Igbo are not running up and down like a dog with rabies like you fools. Eastern Nigeria was the fastest developing region in Nigeria when an Afikpo man was in charge until you Anambra folks came with your chest beating nonsense that led to the killing of 3 million igbo

Culled from Arochukwu Wikipedia page:

By the mid-18th century, Arochukwu people founded many other communities both within and outside Igboland. These migrations, influence of their god Ibini Ukpabi through priests, and their military power backed up by alliances with several related neighboring Igbo (particularly Ohafia, Abam, Abiriba, Afikpo) and Eastern Cross River neighbour Ekoi, and quickly established the Aro Confederacy as a regional economic power. shocked

Who needs your relationship. I'm cool with other Igbo. Abia folks are the coolest and strongest Igbo I know. They produced the richest and most influential Igbo men of the 21st century in Orji Uzor Kalu and Nnamdi Kanu and they don't go about looking to fight every Igbo group up and down, neither are they proud braggarts. Imo people are classy, beautiful and educated but they don't brag. Enugu people are the perfect example of ride-or-die loyal, them no dey brag. But una tufiakwa

Moreover the history of Afikpo as told by scholars is more reliable than whatever nonsense your lazy father told you to make himself feel better about his misery instead of him to go and hustle like other Anambra men

I thought as much. Anyway, I just wanted to set the record straight. I am just tired of being called an Abakaliki boy, I don't have any problem with Abakaliki people but if they caught up with the rest of the Igbo late, let them carry that cross by themselves. I am from Afikpo, we have been in the thick of Igbo drive since the beginning of time. We are Afikpo, we are not Abakaliki. Simple and short

I think u should read a better history coz there ancestry is traced to kano state while other records traces it to borno state.

Except Yoruba can trace their traditions and names to similar ones in Sudan, that's a fairy tale. Afikpo was always part of the Abia system of Igbo, by culture, proximity and names

If u are using this tainted history to console yourself as an igbo man....then u need a total over haul of ur brain case.....

Dotted history won't sway the fact that ur fathers were hausa-fulani and kanuri.
Afikpo is pure aro, I mean PURE ARO-IGBO.

They were formerly with Abia state before they were removed and joined with abakaliki division to form ebonyi state.

Akanu ibiam was the ceremonial governor of eastern Nigeria who worked side by side with Michael okpara, the premier of eastern Nigeria. Akanu ibiam was one of the greatest Igbo ever known in modern Nigeria.

because they dont understand this kingship things doesnt mean they are weak....

UgwuAghachi:
Ebonyi was created in 1996. It was created from the fusion of 2 provinces

1. Abakaliki province from Enugu
2. Afikpo province from Abia


History of Afikpo

AFIKPO was founded by the Igbo Ukwu Omaka or simply Igbo Ukwu, and his kinsmen who are Aro warriors who migrated from Arochukwu. Igbo Ukwu settled in Ehugbo, the political centre of Afikpo and kinsmen spread out to found the neighboring Amasiri, Edda (now Afikpo south LGA) and Akpoha. Afikpo people are Aro descendants and they used the Amadi system found in Abia as they share close relationship with the Bende, Arochukwu and Ohafia. They were part of the Aro constituency



Afikpo in Igbo and Ebonyi politics

Ebonyi was created by fusion of two power blocs, Abakaliki bloc from Enugu and Afikpo bloc from Abia (which comprised of Afikpo North and South LGAs, Edda and Ohaozara). As at 1957, Abakaliki had not produced a single university graduate and had no post-primary school; the primary schools that were available between 1950 and 1958 were manned by teachers who were indigenes of Afikpo Division.
Sir Francis Akanu Ibiam, the first governor of Eastern Nigeria is an Afikpo man. He is also one of the first Nigerians to be a medical doctor.


I don't know about the history of other people of Ebonyi but Afikpo people are bonafide Igbo people for generations. Afikpo are not Abakaliki. Anybody that tells me that fake Igbo nonsense should have his ignorant self blamed for my reaction

@op. this post is not necessary, it looks as if you are feeling inferior. You want to tell the world that Afikpo people are Igbos and Abakiliki people are not.
how Afikpo people are better than Abakiliki people, you are not different from the Anambra man that calls you Hausa Igbo simply because he doesn't understand your dialect. Every language have dialects, in Yoruba land Ibadan people don't understand Ijebu dialect that doesn't make Ijebu Tiv. There are all Yoruba. Stop this unnecessary discrimination.
