Igbos own other people’s land, but no other tribe owns anything in Igbo land, even the igala people that own Anambra they say it is a lie? but they own Lagos, Abuja, Delta, Rivers, Cross Rivers, Katsina State, everywhere they touch like the Jews, they change the narrative then own it for another generation?

Sir I know Bonny very well,Bonny just like most Eastern Ijaw communities adopted the Igbo language due to trade, however Bonny is Ijaw. If you tell me that Opobo people are Igbos,it would sound more reasonable, owing to the fact that the founder of Opobo was Igbo and that some of the slaves captured by the Aros from the Igbo hinterland who escaped settled there.
It is not everywhere you'll lay claim to, the Ijaws in Ondo State speak Yoruba due to trade and acculturation from their neighbors, does that then make them Yorubas??
Bonny is not Igbo!

Owajigarrisson:
Reno Omokri is Itshekiri not Ijaw. Moreover, most Ijaws and Kalabaris speak Igbo as a second language due to trade with Igbos for centuries and the Igboid cluster of communities such as Ndoki,Ekpeye and Ikwerre near them.

To stop this argument,Igalas in Anambra are minorities and they account for 2% of Anambra's population mostly inhabiting the North Eastern part of Anambra state,so you can't say Igala owns Anambra when their population is minute. Another state in the South East that has an ethnic group other than Igbo is Abia State,the Ibibios/Annangs/Ekois account for 4% of Abia state's population and most of them inhabit the Eastern part of the state on the border between Abia and Akwa Ibom state, some are bilingual;They speak both Igbo and Annang or Igbo and Ibibio.
Apart from the 5 South East state,Igbos can be found as Indigenous people in Delta North(Anioma),according to statistics,Anioma account for 40% of Delta's population,however,Aniomas from areas such as Ika and Ukwuani don't accept the Igbo tag despite the glaring similarities between them and the Igbos East of the Niger. The Igbo identity prevails more in the Enuani part of Anioma all the way to Asaba.
Another state where you can find Indigenous Igbos apart from South East is Rivers State. They account for 35% of their population and inhabit the Upland part of Rivers State, most of these Igboid communities were formerly part of Imo State. Part of Etche,Egbema,Ndoni,Omuma and Ogba were balkanized into Rivers State from Imo state,while their kits and kins still in Imo state are seen as Igbos by everyone, you'll see some people who want to delimit Igbo to the 5 SE States say these people who were balkanized from Imo and who exhibit the Igbo culture in all aspects are not Igbos,Part of Ndoki were balkanized from Abia into Rivers and called Oyigbo LGA(Obigbo),the remaining Ndokis in Abia State inhabit Ukwa East and Ukwa West LGA of the State. It is pertinent to note that though Igbo is widely spoken by Ijaw,Kalabari and Ogoni communities in Rivers State,they are not in any way Igbos.

Though there are very few Igbo communities in Cross River and Akwa Ibom,I will stop here.

Beautiful piece. at least you know what is on ground. It is sadden when i read comments here and I am like.. didn't their parents tell them abt their origin and where they are from? Like in Imo... the Obigbo and some part of Abia were carved into Rivers state. Yes presently they are in rivers state but does it mean they are no longer Igbos anymore? Can u change your origin? No .. u cnt. Like i was explaining to somone here... that Imo, Abia are Niger Delta region.. and they are both Niger delta states..... but that doesn't mean both are not Igbo states. In Delta state.. Anioma population is about 45%. Some Anioma people were carved into Imo as well.... the Oguta area. also Anambra like Onitsha, Obosi, Ogbaru, Idemili area etc. That Anioma is in delta state doesn't mean they are not Igbos. In 1992 ZIk, Osademe and the rest leaders of Anioma wrote to IBB and they wr abt caring Anioma state whc is present Anioma land and Onitsha, Obosi, Nkpor, Idemili and surroundings. but most of this indomie generation do not know this. If that had happened mayb this generation wont be confused about certain things.

In a nut shell, Alaigbo is not only 5 SE states.....

OfoIgbo:
A lot of Okrika people speak Igbo, but Igbos have never claimed them.

With regards to Bonny, even the name of the town is Igbo, UBANI, The richness of land. The ruling families are of Igbo descent, according to observations noted down by a neutral British slave trader around 1790.
The mass of the people are also of Igbo ancestry according to this same neutral British man around 1790.
The original founders of Bonny were Igbo according to this same source.

With all the above facts, I have no option but to acknowledge the Ndoki Igbo ownership of UBANI (BONNY)

Will you get out of here.
You were trying to make sense but ended up making a fool of yourself.
Which one is Anioma was carved into Anambra and Imo State?
Anioma that was created in 1951 by Chief Denis Osadebay. Anioma is a modern creation by a human we all know few years ago.
The migration is from East into Midwest not the other way around.
Don't make this mistake again.
Obosi, Oguta, Onitsha and other towns in Anambra and Imo are not part of your identity madness. People in Obosi and other towns don't even know what your Anioma is.
Besides present day Anambra and Imo have always been in Eastern region so how did the carving happen?
Anioma was for those in Midwest region created in 1951.
How Mr man?
When did your Midwest region, Brendel or Delta state have a hand in the affairs of Eastern region or Anambra State?
Don't lie like this in public again. Maybe you are looking for people to add to your identity madness

guy are u sure u ok? bony and opubo are ijaw words, and the people are ijaws.. stop wasting ur precious time arguing with your keybords bcux it will never change anything.. no inch of ijaw land will never be ceded away.

If you checked all my post/comment.. one thing i try not to do is to insult people. Yes this may be a faceless forum and anyone can act childish if they want. You do not insult people. Its childish and not a good one.

Read all I typed again. Anioma pple were carved in........... ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
What i expect you to do is to go and make research and ask questions okay. Its that simple than saying all those insults like a child.

I take no offense... its just a conversation.

Go and ask questions.. Ask your elders..... and do me good to come and put the update here.

Thanks

You are still parading this ur bogus igr That had been trashed in several occasions?


And since when did igr became a yardstick for economic measurement? Oyo,osun,ekiti are a broke state. Stop deceiving ur self with this igr bullshit


Go and check sustainability index of state, go and check the debt stock of the 36 states, and see if you'll still be proud of that propaganda you posted. Four SW states are in red and only one SE state is in red, SW has the biggest debts in Nigeria, all these are as a result of insufficient economy

Yorubas are not in any way close to the population of Igbos in diaspora, not even an inch just, don't even go that side if it's what you're trying to say is that Yorubas in diaspora are as big to compare it to that of the Igbos, aside UK tell me another country that Yorubas are in huge numbers? Whereas Igbo dominate African countries, Europe, Asia,. America

I'll ask again who are the most traveled Nigerians? Who are the Nigerians you will see in any country of the world? Where are the busiest airports in Nigeria located? As I can recall since 2013, no airport in SW had been listed among the top ten busiest airport in Nigeria except the MMIA. And I've told you there's a report of 1/5 of the population of Igbos in SE living in diaspora

Owajigarrisson:
There are Igbo speaking communities and Igbo communities in the SS.
Both of them are two different things, because most Igbo speaking communities like Bonny and Okrika are not Igbos;they are Ijaws . However,Igbo communities are people who are historically Igbos who were either balkanized to the SS or found themselves there due to the geography of the area.

Owajigarrisson:
The diaspora stuff is foolish! Igbos and Yorubas account for 70% of Nigerians in the diaspora and it's a known fact, neither the Igbos nor the Yorubas outnumber each other in the diaspora based on estimates though some places are more occupied in the diaspora by Igbos than Yorubas and vice versa,As at last year,Igbo and Yoruba languages were listed among the fastest growing languages in the United States due to their large presence there!

Don't mind them, do they know what 70% is? In countries like the United Kingdom,Saudi Arabia,Qatar,Ireland,there are more Yorubas than any other Nigerian tribe residing there. In countries like China, Singapore,Japan,Hungary,there are more Igbos than any other Nigerian tribe residing there, how then can only Igbos account for 70%,when Yorubas also dominate some countries in the diaspora
It's high time we start analyzing things rationally in this country.
