Remove Ikwerre from the list.


Ikwerre is officially recognized in the Nigerian Constitution as a distinct ethnic group from Igbo.

Show some respect.

xcon:
All does tribes you listed are recognised as separate ethnic group from the igbo in Nigeria constitution, so IPOB are fooling there self. Igbo land state and end in the five SE state as recognised by Nigerian constitution.

xcon:

Does you claims as Igbo dose not see themselves as igbo , I am ukwani man and we are not igbo so the so called Nigerdelta igbo would not like to join your hopeless and useless brafra. if you people want to go don't drag others into your stupidity, if you want to destroy your life leave nigerdelta. The so called nigerdelta igbo should be the one fighting to join you if you are that important, but no you are the one forcing yourself and they keep rejecting you , are you people not ashame ?

Deebwebb:
Your right,even here in delta state we are the majority.
Igbo amaka..

DamnnNiggarr:
but all those mentioned are Igbo language....,or are you trying to recreate a language that's created by God.

Let me tell you, it's easier to understand any Niger delta IGBO language than any Ebonyi IGBO language..
Mind you, I'm a Niger deltan and the language(Igbo) has been planted by God since 10000bc and there's nothing anyone born of a woman can do about it nor change it.

spiritmasquerad:
Many community in Delta state are of Bini decent so calling them Igbo is wrong and beside no part of Delta state was part of the eastern region not to talk of being part of biafra

Chinedum10:
Pls op
Every other list here could be right but
u see those confuse people called ikwerre, remove them from this list.
they have declared time without number they are not ibos, but funny enough they speak the language and love the name.
Pls note this group of people have heritage from the bini people.
let's not make the mistake of including ikwerre as an igboland...

Anambraboko:
From Lagos to Enugu, Abuja to Port Harcourt and in many other Nigerian cities, the story is the same! Almost all the street traders or hawkers are from Anambra state! It is a story of failure! Failure of governance and leadership amidst abundant human and natural resources of Anambra state, the Salt of the Nation. It is a sad and lamentable situation where basic opportunities are not provided and utilised to effectively harness the immense and invaluable resources of Anambra State especially the youths. With several interviews I have had with the Anambra hawkers and petty traders in different Nigerian cities and towns, the lamentations and cries for help are similar. They crave for direction, opportunities and freedoms through the provision of effective and functioning educational system! As such direction, opportunities and freedoms are presently not provided or inadequate, a sub-culture of frustration and violence is emerging which will do no one any good.

Like many states in Nigeria, the present approach to human capital/skills development of Anambra state can be described as a process of “accomplishment of natural growth” with little or no strategic plan, vision and guidance. It is similar to Jamaica’s then education system to which Professor William M. MacMillian described as ‘narrow and insecure’ in his work ‘Warning from the West Indies’. He warned that the education system in Jamaica was a major contributory factor to worsening inequality, poverty, unemployment and social divisions. He beckoned on the government to act urgently to avoid social crisis and violence. Remarkably as he warned, wide spread violence and social unrest ravaged the Caribbean with many killed and injured a year after his book was published.

To avoid a similar riot or the emergence of another Boko Haram of Anambra extraction, I deeply beckon and implore on Gov. Obiano to act now! What is needed in Anambra state is an education system that can be described and developed from the concept of concerted cultivation and development. This approach will give direction and focus, imbue confidence and trust, create a sense of ownership and belonging to Anambra children and youths. Failure to do this is an inevitable invitation and preparation for the exponential escalation of social crisis possibly similar and higher than Boko Haram.

Your Excellency, Gov. Obiano I have heard different versions and factors that led to your emergence and victory as the Governor of Anambra State. Irrespective of which one is correct, I deeply pray and implore you to adopt the version which will translate and mean an equitable (with a pro-poor inclination) sharing of the dividends of democracy through a strategy of committed and effective good governance of Anambra state. This is what majority of Anambra citizens who are poor and marginalised want from you. I am fully aware that the task to which you have been overwhelmingly elected to perform is very tedious and challenging but very achievable if you truly belief and committed to serving humanity. Directly or indirectly allowing street trading to be the most prominent brand of Anambra youths is sad and a disservice to anything good and noble. Moreover, this negative brand will not change with either the wastefull allocation of brand new jeeps to Anambra traditional rulers or the building of a brand new governor’s lodge after spending over N250 million to renovate the existing lodge.

Your Excellency Gov. Obiano, your dear state, Anambra is very backward in every aspect of human development and this requires very urgent attention through effective and committed good governance. Of the five South East states, Anambra is the only state classified as educationally less developed. While Anambra is marginally represented in the public sector, it is almost absent in the private sector. In my close interaction with the Banking sector, I have never met or heard of an Assistant General Manager (AGM) from Anambra state. A check of boa

SweetiliciousD:
Stop being efulefu. Prominent Ikwerre sons cannever be denied of their igboness, not even by Abaribe to Chibuike Amechi during budget defense in senate.

I know you aren't from there.

Tell me which Ikwerre name and culture that isn't Igbo?

Keep believing lies Nigerian criminals in power keep telling you.

This thread is well researched. Kudos to the articulate original writer.
