BRANDING MYSELF? you quoted a book like it was some FINAL AUTHORITY and expect me to swallow it? What was igwuocha's name before the white mans advent? Honestly answer this question. YOU ARE QUOTING FROM ONE SOURCE and conclude that that is all about ugwuocha...how scholastic indeed!

It was NOT named ugwuocha because of white men, that is distorted history, which has since been corrected. It was ugwuocha because of the coastal purity of the area. It used to be a diobu area rich in agriculture and intersected by cliffs. Its richness and purity brought about the name igweocha, NOT BECAUSE OF WHITE MEN, that narrative has since been debunked.

STOP PEDDLING OBSOLETE STORIES.

[size=13pt] I have come to the conclusion that speech powered by empty ignorance is in your system. Sorry I have to be harsh while putting you straight here.The only place you researched is your imagination.[/size]

[size=13pt] In his book Dancing Histories: Heuristic Ethnography with the Ohafia Igbo John Mac Call writes how this played out. I have included a source here: [/size]

McCall, John Christensen (2000).

I have read your source and guess what ugwu ocha was ugwu ocha before colonialism came into the place. According to oral history, it was NOT named because of the white men, that's just mere input of a school of thought, not real oral history. Igwuocha was more of a "pure" place than a white man's domain. The white man thing was a LATER INPUT.

[size=13pt]The link above leads to the exact page in the book, archived by google. Why do you insist on branding yourself this way, with empty and unresearched declarations? I have attached a screenshot below of what you will find when you click on that link. More interesting is what you will find when you scroll up to the preceding page (page 74) in that work.[/size]

[size=13pt]I am trying to explain to you why you do not understand the traditional structure and place of chiefs and elders in Rivers State, trying to show you that it is because you did not even have chiefs in your own culture. So that kind of people organisation is beyond the reach of your mind. You do not have any respect for traditional chiefs/elders because even the chiefs you have, it was the white man who came and installed them for you.

As for Oyibo, on the outskirts of Port Harcourt, I personally think it should be classified as Igbo but I refrain from talking about that most times because the people there denounce Igbos and I know that is not my problem.

Finally, everyone knows Port Harcourt was built by the British and that is spans across several ethnic groups, the Ikweres, Okrikas, and Ogonis mainly.

When the British brought in labourers from Ohafia to work on the railroad they were building in Port Harcourt, Ohafians began referring to the place where the British were taking their sons to work as Ụ́gwụ́ Ọ́chá meaning Hill of the white man. How does that make Ikwere land, Okrika and Ogini yours? Did your fathers live and die there?
If they did, where are their burial sites?

Now you brazenly try to steal in daylight, and everybody is seeing you and you have no shame about it. As other people (Tivi, Boko, Efik, Igala and all the other Nigerian tribes) read this thread on Nairaland don't you think their impression of you as thieves is getting more and more concretized in their minds?

All this boils down to the non-nation that Igbos were in the past. Only clans and villages. No chiefs, just fragmented communities bringing the social structure deficiencies of the past to smear on your modern day image
