Hahaha, what's the desperation about?
You can't force people to identify with you.
Most people are ashamed to identify with Igbos.
Igbos should just stick to the South East and stop this shameful desperation.
Unbelievable.

Who are the most people? Where are they from tell me their origin,

Igbos should stick to the south East, who made them south East? When were they made south East under who's authority? Who made the igbos in Delta igbo Delta's who made them igbo Delta's?

If the Constitution of Nigeria is all it takes to make them Delta igbos, and south East igbos and rivers state igbos,
Then you should know they are Lagos igbos, Kano igbos, plateau igbos, Abuja igbos etc

Ekpeye ukwuani Ikwerre, Ika, Enuani Izii–Ikwo–Ezza–Mgbo, and Ogba. Originated from igbo they are blinded by Constitutional state given names as Delta, rivers, ebonyi edo, they can not trace their tribes to any ethnic group in Nigeria than igbo, unless they don't have an origin and there's no tribe with out an origin

I'm Yoruba, Buh you're very correct with the bolded

Good suggestion that Okowa should intervene..but he has already done so.I am aware that he has made a statement that there is nothing like Delta Igbo and that all are Igbo..he has also encouraged the teaching of the central Igbo dialect known as IGBO IZUGBE in Delta Igbo areas..

That is why Education is important. so that people wont be misled to think that they are distinct from the general Igbo population. This is what Oil has caused

What igbos want is the way kwara and kogi Yorubas want to be part of south west. They want their Igbo kitha to be part of south east. But unlike kwara and kogi Yorubas who want it. Delta igbos and nonse indigenous igbos don’t want it

Wasteful product. Afonja is pained because Okowa accepted his Igboness. Okowa has accepted his Igboness go and beat him na. Ewu

About a week ago I went visit my sister at her home and met her with her friends 10 year old daughter who was also visiting. When I asked the girl where she was from she said she is a "Delta Igbo" from Ibuzo in Delta state. I had to tell the girl that Ibuzo was just the short form of "Igbo bi n'uzo" which translates as "Igbos who live along the road". It struck me that the younger generation of Igbos indigenous to Delta state now call themselves "Delta Igbos" as if this is an actual ethnic group. It's almost like me saying that I'm "Anambra Igbo" or calling calling Emeka Ihedioha an "Imo Igbo"

The Governor of Delta State happens to be an Igbo man. I think that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa should do something to halt this trend of of people starting to believe theres an ethnic group called "Delta Igbo", no such thing exists, Igbo is Igbo. Ifeanyi Okowa should make a proclamation or a public utterance reminding indigenous Igbos of Delta state that the appellation "Delta" is just for geographical convenience and not an actual ethnic name. If this is allowed to continue, in another 50 years, these people will start calling themselves "Deltans"

Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu, an Igbo man from Okpanam in Delta State, led the so called Igbo coup.

Igbo amaka.
Delta Igbo amaka.

, if this is the case well then I'm from Ngwa Igbo so my fellow Igbo's now you can also identify yourself like them (Igbo Delta) eg
Nsuka Igbo, Ohafia Igbo, Nnewi Igbo,Owerri Igbo.

Una be problem... I swear....lolzzz

Oga, everybody in Delta State are Deltans.

What do you mean by these people will start calling themselves Deltans.

We are from Igbo Origin, that's true, but we also have our own Ethnic name called Ukwani.

Just like the Ikwerri people in Rivers State.

I'm sure people miss the old Bendel state.

Is even the Op that is disturbing himself on the Issue.

left to progressives like us we will suggest a new ethnic name for delta or fully prioritize Anioma as ethnic group dissolving them also of any Igbo link...like the Rivers.


Gone are the days when they used to say number stands for strength....It doesn't work again.

south-South are better represented and catered for in Nigeria because they have Nigeria mentality while their will be less suspicion been in Nigeria. I have also argued that in any case Igbos (East) are well cartered for in biafra as there will be homogeneity of thought and no suspicion but rather development driven by exploration of available means to survive...#fact.


All these Igbos this Igbo that will be a forgotten issue.

Even Igbo too originated from somewhere, according to you guys, you originated from Israel, why don't you call yourselves Israelites, why do you call yourself Igbos?

Says an impostor on an evil mission. I've been silently watching you as you try to blend in while subtly injecting poison. You've failed because our time is in the offing. Get out from Igbo threads. You have no business here.

I'm from Enugu state. But I see nothing wrong with the term DELTA IGBO.

The term *Delta Igbo* means Igbos living in current Delta state. Just like we have Osun Igbos(Indigenous Igbos living ij Osun state Ile Ife. If you doubt, ask Ooni he confirmed it), Benue Igbos(Indigenous Igbos in Benue state), Kogi Igbos(Indigenous Igbos in Kogi state, Ibaji to be precise), Cross rivers Igbo (Indigenous in cross river state) etc.

See how all the busybodies are jumping into a thread that doesn't concern them. They're always seeking for the means to keep Igbos divided. Tufiakwa!

Hello Gidgiddy. It seems you're too bothered over something as little as this. It shows your level of desperation. She's just 10yrs old and barely knows the dynamics of what she said. You can't fault her a bit. Calling Okowa here will not solve anything. The best antidote to such identities comes from us (Igbos from the SE). It is us that will give them the confidence to identify as Igbos without appending any other differential identity. If we accept and treat them exactly as we would treat Igbos of the SE, then naturally they will drop that name and there won't be any difference. I know that lots of us unconsciously differentiate them that's why they usually identify themselves like that. It's a gradual process. I've been able to work this out with a couple of matured Igbos from Delta who hitherto won't want to be called Igbos plainly. I used the same strategy as I mentioned here and over time they've blended in now and confidently speak Igbo with the rest of us. You know some of their Igbo words differ from the consensus ones we use. I encouraged them to gradually use those ones as we also had to give up our own dialectical words for the general ones we all use now. Never did I laugh at some of their little different words. Today, we relate better and they openly enjoy their Igbo heritage. The work lies with us bro.
