Seun4blue:
With this article above, I believe the popular saying that "The Republic of Biafra hereby ceases to exist." -Major General Phillip Efiong.

And to correct your stupidity, it's Ugboland not Igbo

gidgiddy:
That's like saying that Yoruba land starts and stops in the SW when 17% of Republic of Benin is Yoruba land

otuekong1:

IGBO IN NON-SOUTH EASTERN STATES OF THE FEDERATION

RIVERS STATE
1) Egbema
2) Ecthe
3) Omuma
4) Ndoni
5) Ikwerre
6) Ekpeye
7) Obigbo
� Opobo
9) Ogba

EDO STATE
10) Igbanke/Igboakiri
In fact most people do not even know that Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa and his wife are Igbo from Igbanke in Uhuonde Local Government area of EDO state that was formerly in Orhionwon LGA .
The mother of the late Samuel Odaigbovo Ogbemudia is Igbanke!
Most indigenes of this town just like Ika people bear hybrid names that most often could just jolly well pass as EDO because of their names like Nduka Irabor, Jim Ovia, Omorogie Nwawanne, Collins Edumaruse etc

DELTA STATE
11). Ika
12) Ndokwa
13) Ukwuani
14) Aniocha
15) Oshimili

BAYELSA STATE
16) Osekwenike, Abuetor and Eke Okpokri villages, all in Sagbama area of bayelsa, are all Igbo of Ukwuani stock, and as such, are of the Anioma igbo clan of the Igbo ethnic group in BAYELSA

CROSS RIVER STATE
17) ISOBO , even liyl imoke former CR governor and wife are igbos from ABI LGA - CROSS RIVER

AKWA IBOM STATE
18) Ikot Udo Ika in Ika Local Government area of Akwa Ibom is an Igbo community.

BENUE STATE
19)The Igbos in Benue State particularly those in Ado, Oju, Obi and Okpoku LGAs of the state were in existence before the advent of Christian religion in Nigeria.
The Igbo found in Benue are: Umuezeokoha, Umuezeoka, Oriuzor, Umuoghara, Amaekka and Amaezekwe all in Ezza communities, Izzi, Ezzamgbo and Effium, these are the people who would have been in present-day Ebonyi State but due to the fact that the Nigerian government then carved them into Benue in order to suppress the population of the East. Apart from the Ezza-speaking clan, particularly the people of Umuezeokoha that has over 300 villages, if you are to calculate the number of Igbo-speaking villages in Benue State, outside Umuezeokaoha, you would be talking altogether about over 600 villages. Three of the biggest markets in Benue are all in the Igbo-speaking part.
The markets are Inikiri Ichari, Iddah, Iduokpe.
There are also some Igbo speaking Idoma towns in Benue State.

KOGI STATE
20) THE indigenouse Igbo-speaking communities in Kogi state especially in Ibaji and Igalamela/Odolu LGAs are Eke Avurugo community,such as Nwajala, Umuoye, Ubulie-Umuez, ozara, and umuoye and many more.

NOTE
The current Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, also told us that his kingdom was initially conquered by the Igbo (PLEASE KINDLY NOTE THAT HE WAS NOT REFERRING TO THE UGBO OF ONDO STATE)until they were rescued by Moremi and he also spoke of an aboriginal Igbo community that still exist in ILE Ife to this day.

[s]You people want to force igbo down the throats of southerners, is that how it's been done? when a majority tribe and a minority tribe are in close proximity, there's bound to be influence on the minority by the majority which can be seen in their culture and language. Plus the proximity calls for union, it doesn't necessarily mean they are part and parcel. Don't use names to judge too. Remember Segun Arinze and Rotimi Amaech[/s]i

Eteka1:
[s]Imoke is from Itigidi (Agbo tribe) in Abi LGA and they are not Igbo's, not even close. Be guided[/s].

wirinet:
So?
What they speak in Austria is German, does that mean they are Germans?
A people define who they are or who they want to be called, you can't force your own identity on a people, that's called colonialisation.

gidgiddy:
Rotimi Amaechi has never denied being Igbo, infact, theres a youtube video of him saying that nobody should him his Igbo heritage

Segun Arinze isnt Igbo, his mother is Igbo while his father is Yoruba. 'Segun Arinze' his stage name

goodnessme1:
Am proudly Ada Igbo from asaba delta state.

Success1020:
Afonja, I'm agbo, Ika man and pure Igbo blood. Imoke is an Igbo man.. Igbos understand us and we understand them. Be careful with this your division, a yoruba man was nearly lynched in Port Harcourt for telling an Ikwerre man he is not Igbo. There was blood everywhere. Just be careful not to bring this your evil to SS in person. Guys are angry with you people for dividing the East with your propaganda. Nnamdi kanu has educated us!

gidgiddy:
Remarkable that you understand the principle above but forget about it when some people decide to be Biafrans. Who is fooling who?


When a person has an Igbo surname, speaks Igbo as his ancestral language and practices Igbo culture, that person is Igbo. It doesnt matter if the person goes on to call themselves Ika, Wawa, Nsukka, Izzi, ANIOMA or whatever. As long as they meet those three conditions, they are Igbo.
