So, no history, just a word from an individual? grin
Don't know why you are stressing yourself over what can't be changed tho. You have issues abeg. Nah by force ni? grin cheesy

Oya, take this...

Keep fooling yourself you know the truth

Yoruba historian, Rufus Adebowale, has disagreed with feuding Yoruba monarchs, the Awujale of Ijebuland, Sikiru Adetona, and the Alake of Egbaland, Adedotun Gbadebo, on their perspectives on the hierarchy of Yoruba traditional stools.
He said both the Awujale and the Alake were inaccurate in their analyses of the history of the Yoruba race.
Mr. Adebowale, a prince from the Okukenu ruling house of Egbaland, however backed Oba Gbadebo in some of his claims and attacked Oba Adetona for being critical of the Egba monarch.
The historian spoke to journalists in Abeokuta on Friday while reacting to the widely publicized contentions between the traditional rulers on the seniority of their stools.
According to him, Awujale is a foreigner in Yoruba land, as the Ijebus originated from Wadai‎ in Sudan.
Mr. Adebowale said as a foreigner in Yorubaland, the Awujale and his Ijebu people lacked the authority to speak on the history of the Yoruba race.
The 72-year old historian also declared that the Alake distorted history by claiming that Alaafin was next to the Ooni of Ife.

That means Igbos are so special, that's why a fellow ethnic group of this same country, copy them verbatim...from Names, mode of dressing, art and culture etc.
Something is truly wrong with you.

Mercy Chinwo - Rivers
Tony Elumelu - Delta
Jim Ovia - Delta
Godwin Emefiele - Delta
Austin Okocha - Delta
Okonjo Iweala - Delta
Pat Utomi - Delta

Why don't you stick to your 5 eastern states and leave out the disputing states. The other thread was about celebs who are not yorubas but mistaken for yorubas due to their romance with the culture. I think another should be created for Igbos.

You listed Mercy Chinwo without including Sinach? Because she is Ebonyi and Ebonyi is not Igbo, right?

I wish OP hadn't included people like Obaigbena and Chinwo, who I'm sure do not identify as Igbo.

Also, if you're going to include Diasporans, why stop at Chiwetel? There are many influential Igbos in the Diaspora besides Chiwetel.

Pat Utomi, Okonjo Iweala and Okocha come from the part of Anioma that is undisputedly Igbo (Ibusa and Ogwashi-Uku). But I think he should have left out the likes of Jim Ovia and Nduka Obaigbena, who are both Ika, and most likely don't see themselves as Igbo.

This is the most difficult question for any Yoruba or Northerner in Nairaland.
If the answer is Yes, problem.

Yeye argument

Their parents, who didn't have any other native language, taught them how to speak Igbo language without them going to school to learn it, as it is their first language.

Nobody learned how to speak fluent English in Nigeria without going to school to learn it. Nobody

That's the difference between a native and non-native

A language or tongue can be learned outside the four walls of the school.
Besides, being a speaker of a language doesn't make you an indigene.

Your argument is baseless.

Other than name and language many community in anioma have nothing in common with the igbo culture and the language were picked up because when there intermarried with the Igbos surround them
