What are you talking about? You kept generalizing nonsense.

u can call it whatever u want.... ...why are they always denying their identity.... Just to be in good book of FG I guess...

ISLAMBAD:
Nice submission .
The comment of the person you quoted was unacceptable
They have forgotten that not only SE igbos fought Biafran war, SS ibos did like Achuzie even some minorities fought on Biafran side.
Imagine what he's saying.. that only SE Igbos should form a nation leaving their brothers in SS. So I should leave my brothers and stay with another person just because Nigerian government has called me a south Southerner ?

I think some of them have started falling for this tricks by Nigerian government. They have started generalising that the whole of igbos in SS are denying their identity without doing a proper research.
Its so unfortunate. I blame the FG .

and u want us to continue to drag people that doesn't want to identify with u.....sometimes I wonder the kind of heart nnamdi kanu has....he just good and fair....they offered him biafra for SE states he refused and insisted on going with his brothers in south south.....but these people u have dragging have they for onces identify they are igbos......and u keep dragging...they will start shouting they are after our oil......(this is the height of statement that gets me mad) and I think the best thing is to allow them be.....atleast wen se knows dey don't have oil....they will devise another strong means to better their economy and harness their potentials....

Igboid:
I use to be a campaigner for Igbo unity from Igbanke (Edo state) to Isobo (Cross River).

But I know better now.
I joined facebook pages of these groups over the past five years, and got to psych their sentiments.

I tell you, most of these people are even more Igbophobic than non Igbo Nigerians, they have this strong urge to be strongly Igbo hating, to prove to their non Igbo neighbors, that truly, they are not Igbos.

You only encourage their folly, when you keep insisting they are Igbo , you do that, and they grow a sense of group importance and pour more hate on you.

Those people are broken and toxic, as a matter of fact, SE should stay away from them, before they infect US with their venom. Because I found out that the more time I spent on those their forums, and witnessed first hand their raw unwarranted hate for Ndiigbo, the more my hate for them increased.

Like I said, those groups outside SE are toxic, we should let them be.

As a matter of fact, I had made it a point to remind any of them, that claims relationship with Igbos, that they are not Igbo, that their non Igbo ancestors suffered from a very malignant form of inferiority complex, which culminated in them dropping their former languages, be them Bini (like most of them claim), Ijaw, etc, for a superior Igbo language, which they corrupted to create the current anomalies they now speak and call Igboid language.

I swear, there is no relationship between Ndiigbo and these people, the hate emanating from those quarters is toxic.
Many of them are praying for harm to befall Ndiigbo again, so that they can capitalize and steal more of our lands, that's how devilish they are.

I know y am copying this to him

Igboid:
Personally , I don't believe in forced unity.

Nobody is worth being begged to be with you. Especially somebody that don't put food on your table.

Okowa is rumoured to be propounding a law that would introduce Ika, Enu-ani and Ukwuani, as independent languages to be taught in schools in those parts, and not the central Igbo we all learn in the SE.
While we in SE are striving for centrality with those people, their political and traditional institutions are striving for isolation and distinctiveness from us.

I think it's time we let those people be who ever they want to be, this unity begging and dragging thing had gone on for too long, and it's becoming embarrassing.

That's my own input.

Nonaira1 won't see this....he wont...I said he wont.......and he is here disputing my 5%

Nonaira1:
Commot from my mention with your stupidity

u can call it stupidity or whatever u care....but the truth remains the truth.....

just don't try to twist an already existing phenomenon

is just a hard truth...

Preshy561:
do you think that reelectbuhari is Igbo?

btw,how can you judge a thread with one man's comment?

we know out true brothers,even when nk was still active,I went to fb to see how ikwerres and river minorities were talking down on ipob and was claiming we want their oil.
but I do go through aniomas comment,they always stand in for ipob and had never denied it like someone rightly said here.
the comment of reelectbuhari was countered with one person,and he learnt that he was saying gibberish.

in ur right senses u are more igbo than me....

clearly this a problem of many ages.....which has lead to series of clashes between Chibuike amaechi and enyinnaya abaribe....

I don't see why a simple truth should be disputed uptill now...

Nonaira1:
It's not that they don't know, is that they don't want to know. They need a reason to hate and they try anyway they can to justify. They accuse us off allowing the divide and conquer to work on us but yet, they did as well. You can magnify the number of us that aren't deniers but as long as they can look at the miniscule deniers, as far as they concerned they are the ones that matters. Let's look at them attaching ika left and right yet ignorantly forgetting that an ika King aka the igbodo king is among the kings fighting for igbo unity. Obviously to them Agbor, Igbanke, etc matters, not igbodo, umunede, etc.

Hell one even had the fucking audacity to claim it's onitsha that brought back sense to Asaba and it's onitsha people the reason Asaba and others have embraced Igbo. Are you fucking kidding me? When have Asaba ever denied being igbo? Our people died because of our Igboness. Our people were slaughtered for refusing to denounce our igbo identity, my grandfather being one of them, yet these lots are here crediting "onitsha" as the reason for "back to senses”. Bleep out of here with that bullshit.
Last I checked, it's Anioma kings that have been fighting for Lord knows how long now for igbo unity. It's Anioma leaders doing anything they can to improve our identity as a tribe. What have their leaders been doing? ignoring their fights and request, writing articles and insulting our tribe collectively and running around trying to lick the asshole of any northern leaders for political gain. A SE King as well as his son is missing, possibly killed by the Niggerian army, yet their fucking leaders applauded that shit and even gave the person that did that shit a title. Yet we're the one accused of "claiming Igbo" only when it's for politician gain. NOI is now a denier that only remembered she's Igbo because of her abia husband and politicial position. Completely forgetting that her father, may he rip, have been one of the Anioma kings leading the fight for Igbo unity even before she became a politician and meet her husband but Noooooooo, it's because of them that she's a proud igbo. Rubbish

It's not just Anioma they display their dislike towards, it's others as well. If not for me informing them oyigbo people are proud Igbos... They were dragging them because of some shit they read of this forum without anything to justify it. Smfh!! Let them continue

easy bro.....

am just stating a fact..........easy abeg

aniomafirstson:
civil war effects

pls that war can't be civil.....is simply a genocidal war....i wonder what is civil about millions of people losing their lives

aniomafirstson:
there's even a link on nairaland

he stated clearly that he is Igbo

you won't hear tony elumelu,okocha,Ngozi okonjo iweala say they are not igbos.. they are from the oshimili/aniocha axis

https://www.nairaland.com/3074862/more-lagosian-than-igbo-kachikwu

am not arguing u....but the issue is how did all these started and what was the sole aim....?

and how did we allow ourselves to be used successfully?

aniomafirstson:
5% . that means you don't know anything about south south Igbos

where you can even still find denials in delta state is mainly from the ika axis

I can confidently state that the Igbo denials in delta state are not up to 20% they are in the minority so stop making it look like a big issue

am not making it a big issue just stating a simple facts....

for iweala I don't dispute that coz I hv even heard the father prof iweala...a retired lecturer from uniport fully declare that he is igbo...

immhotep:
LMAO. They are still living in a fantasy world.
They speak Igbo language, answer Igbo names, dress like Igbo people and are surrounded by Igbo clans.
Ikwerre = Igbo.

cc lzaa onyeoga pointzerom shallysgirl iceberg3

concern is that Nigeria should stop playing politics

from Peter odili to omehia celestine to amaechi to wike....are these names hausa fulani.......

or did they bring up this Niger delta and igbos to pigeonhole some people accordingly in their devilish plan.....

I remember when this notorious criminal Igwedibia (aka Don wanney) from omoku rivers state was killed.....

punch newspaper didn't report it as a Niger delta man....but as an igboman.....from omoku in rivers....chaiiii.......chaii

so automatically Don wanney has moved from Niger delta to igbo....

aniomafirstson:
.

kachikwu has never denied being Igbo
kachikwu is from the oshimili/aniocha axis in delta state and they are proudly igbos

we are yet to see that....coz kachikwu has never for once admitted been igbo....is a fact

immhotep:
But . . but . . .but Rotimi Amechi (Ikwerre man) is seen here hustling to embrace his Igbo heritage


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yriYzb61PEM

cc lzaa onyeoga pointzerom shallysgirl iceberg3

hustling in between tongues.......

is simply politics.......coz if abaribe and ekweremmadu didn't take it up....amaechi has clearly excluded east from the rail projects.....

I can't agree more with iloveanambra on his findings....

immhotep:
But Kachikwu will become Igbo if he contests for presidency

cc lzaa onyeoga pointzerom iceberg3 itsmeaboki buhariguy

that is the most painful part of this saga....

if kachikwu now wins the president...per say.....that means igbos has taken their turn of presidency.......but same kachikwu has he agreed to be igbo......

Nigeria is just designed to make some people angry and certain things painful.......


am not arguing ur point...it is true but painful.....

aniomafirstson:
From my recent findings, the amount of ss igbos who still deny being Igbo are very very few.

I am Igbo and I am from Delta state...in otherwords yes they do matter

I wish I can believe this.....in this present Nigeria arrangement.....


I hv once proposed....that north will agree for us to divide if east will leave south south for them.....and I hv always said if that is the condition then let the 5 eastern state.....leave and become biafra....

I bet u...u cannot know ur potential.....if u continue to drag people dat doesn't want to go with u........

Singapore to me is a good example.......

how many ss has agreed they are igbos........just 5% out of 100

immhotep:
They become 100 percent Igbo when it is time to share contract and federal appointment

Lzaa onyeoga Madridguy itsmeaboki Bamoski shallysgirl

exactly dat will explain y buhari refer to ibe kachikwu as an igbo in his media chat.....coz minsterial position was involved and dnow kachikwu is igbo...........


but has kachikwu agreed he is igbo.....no....ask him...he will tell u he is a Niger deltan from delta state.

mabea:
I dont have your time

u will never that's the behaviour of traitors....
change for good bro....
all ur comments here are fully anti-igbo........i wonder why?

u just summarised it all

I remember in awka when chibuike amaechi was invited to speak on a lecture...he said....am an igbo man....he even went further to argue by asking......chibuike amaechi and enyinnaya abaribe which one is more igbo?.....we just laughed.....

in east he is igbo in Abuja he is Niger delta.......what a tragedy after the civil war....

i just love this thread
this is a critical analysis

mabea:
Because igbo is my ethnic group. Im always vocal when it comes to things that denigrate the igbo

which means u must have about 87.5% hausa fulani blood in u....
if not then u are a yoruba....

make a better igbo sentence let's see....?

5thElement:
You pitched your tents with Jonathan despite the mindless looting, sharing dollars to traditional rulers and all sorts, and another group wished to try a new man to see if he would be better.
Should they then be crucified for that? For exercising their rights to make a choice?
Are you aware that not all Yorubas voted for Buhari and not all Igbos voted for Jonathan?

reply
I will kindly term it u are biased to talk about mindless looting under jonathan.......what we have now is looting on industrial scale.......how can someone in his current senses and whom the elders has forewarned about the dictatorial nature of buhari go ahead to vote him.......

89% of yoruba voted for Buhari....
tell me a state in east where buhari garnered upto 13K votes...
in anambra not upto 15k, in abia not upto 16k same as ebony and enugu...imo is around 120k coz of rigging...he wouldn't hv...

in south south rivers state not upto 70k votes, delta not upto 50k, same as crossriver, bayelsa.....abstract was edo....coz of mixture of hausas and binis there...

then over to sw....the bell for buhari rings even higher than anything......if not for igbos in west especially lagos, ondo and oyo...apart from ekiti jonatan should not have won any votes in sw...

in actual fact....yoruba didn't vote for jonathan

5thElement:
I hope even you can see the apparent contradictions in your statements. First you say the Yorubas have indicated support for Buhari.
Then you mentioned the statements of Tinubu a Yoruba politician as proof of this.
Then still went on to tell us how Obasanjo, another Yoruba politician is canvassing against Buhari.
I hope you'll also tell us how Sowore and Durotoye, two young Yoruba entrepreneurs are also planning to give Buhari a run for his money by contesting separately for the presidency.
And maybe for effect point to my own posts where as a Yoruba chap have been busy lampooning Buhari and castigating his intention to run for a second term when he's failed woefully already"

Reply
The case of sowore is another planned agenda hatched by yorubas to return buhari to power....we hv foresight and we know the grand plan.....let sowore don't deceive u....he is playing the planned game....

And for obasanjo, there is no single contradiction....obj simply feels that the vote he is looking gor lies in the east...simply coz the west has gone down to apc...and nothing will stop them to vote him again....obj knows his brodas dats y he is keeping his campaign strong here..

For sowore and durutoye....let them rest on their game...

5thElement:
“Yorubas don't burn bridges by insulting the other party, well most often anyway, because we know everything is temporary. But you guys would just go overboard like you did with Jonathan and cast all your eggs in one basket."

Thank u very much and u people has voted for the change right?.....lolzz...funny...and u are currently beearing the consequences of such action...one thing is certain igbos didn't vote buhari and as such complains and take heart but I don't see any reason why yorubas even their governor should be complaining.....? Yorubas that spread their eggs how far?

5thElement:
“Yorubas are going to vote the way they'll vote just like you in the east will vote the way you'll vote.
So far, the Yorubas seem to have an upper hand in the south when it comes to electioneering. And if they play their hand well, they may just clinch the presidency come 2023 or maybe sooner if the youths of Nigeria decide to back up the youths contesting. And they are both Yorubas.
Yorubas have always been in the opposition party in this country and they aren't crying or weeping."

The greatest mistake yoruba will make is to re-elect buhari and start to think of 2023 presidency.......Ask markfemi ur broda here on nairaland why he is shouting for this action yoruba is planning to take in voting buhari coz he knows igbos well......we will be waiting for u people to take the presidency 2023....patiently waiting.

5thElement:
“It's not the Yorubas who have been prodigal bro, it's the Igbos. But don't take my word for it. Just Google political parties since Independence and find out yourself."

Igbos not prodigal in any way rather right from time immemorial they want out of this expired union....nigeria is not working and won't work again......and I/we have argued that a country is a place where people understands themselves..
Sw and north and edo aside igbanke has a special type of understanding and I hv advocated they remain as Nigeria...
SS and SE plus igbanke has a special understanding of themselves and I argue they remain as Biafra....
What is a state....a state is a group of people living in a particular region, with organised system of govt, with similar traits in culture and values, with boundaries internally recognised devoid of external aggression.....

Our cultures are different and that's why we have to separate so that each entity can forge a common front....
Korea is a good example (north and south korea) others are even sudan...

5thElement:
Truth is there's no love lost between the Igbos and Yorubas and there probably won't be.
Truth is there no unity and no cohesion of Southern Nigeria tribes.
Truth is that there can't be and there probably won't be simply because our values are radically different.
Truth is there are no tribes in Nigeria that see eye to eye, whether in Northern Nigeria or Southern Nigeria.
And truth is that all these shouldn't matter as long as we still are all in one country. Especially when we congregate here on Nairaland. And until God or whatever force is directing our lives see fit to dismember this country, we would do well to carry on as best as we could.
It shouldn't matter what tongue you speak, or religion you practice, I think what should matter is that you have your opinion, I have mine and this should not result into insults and slurs, so that I won't feel obliged to respond with an unkinder insult to your insult because you wouldn't insult me anyway.

If this is the case why are we still deceiving ourselves under one nigeria....
The solution is to simply part our separate ways....
I don't advocate for war but let nigeria give referendum a trial

I don't hate Igbos and I'd rather have civil and intelligent conversations than an online brawl...most times.

No tribe is made up of saints alone or demons alone.

But it's tough to just sit by and watch others insult your ethnicity.

They may have engaged in unreasonable "verbal nonsense ", but I also do realize that if this was a thread about the Yoruba doing bad, your people will be all over this thread too.

Not an excuse for behaving badly online though and we are all guilty of this.

more civil reply and not inciting,,,,,....but I have to refute som claims here.....

", but I also do realize that if this was a thread about the Yoruba doing bad, your people will be all over this thread too."

let me quickly add here that ur brodas action always causes that......

for instance in 2015....Igbos made their decision not vote for this kind of govt we hv today......south east and south south rejected this stupid....then what happened south west voted for it........the votes will bear us witness....

to still cut it short....south west youth has endorsed buhari for second term....and tinubu has said that buhari has many things to accomplish in office.....

the most annoying part is obasanjo who campaign for buahri has the effrontery to come down to awka telling us to help vote buhari out.....


my answer...he won't tell us wot to do...we never voted for him b4 and we will make our decisions known at the right time......


in south today...yorubas are always acting like prodigal son in electoral issues....and I think is high time they get their priority right...

love blossoms under unity.....not backstabbing all the time
thank u
