What nonsense., @ ABAGWORO,,your father's dieing for us??, you know the best thing for you to do if you feel so bad is just take a shot of SNIPER POISON and end your miserable life,
Good enough the national dialogue is coming, Im wondering what you and your fellow igbons would do when the outcome starts manifesting.
It's obvious that most of these igbo guys know nothing about the history of ika, hence they come here to learn indirectly, instead of asking politely to be enlightened, But no it has always been the igbo man's way to argue blindly.

finally this crazy debate has clocked 100 pages. all filled with igbo propaganda of claims.
reducing numbers indeed, selfishness has always been the bane of this agitation.

foolish idiot. how can somebody who bears Lancelot claim he is not english. or Richard. Collins etc.

kiro??

links.. Never allow foreigners tell you your own history. I'm not contending with your acceptance of being an igbon. don't bother posting any links because you would be wasting your mb.

ask your igbo brothers. who usually take assumption as facts.

@Solomon if that's your argument or opinion then I think you should wallow on your memory lane. I thought you had something concrete. but if believing that makes you happy and get a goodnight sleep so be it.alua

obviously you just confirmed that you have been arguing blinding, while subtly learning history of ika... if you wish to know about ika be nice enough to humbly ask rather than exhibiting your stupidity @,naira and ngodigha.. ozhuor

most times you igbons force people to speak even when They choose not to... am proudly ika. from the ancient kingdom of umunede. and am not igbo. my perception can and will never change. believe or not.

I want to know... in What way is ika suffering... and also What does it take to be ika as you threatened.... note of really you are from Okay region then then you should refer to yourself as igbo because by merely saying you are ika contradicts your igbo status. ika is a nation. you can't say you are from ika yet you claim igbo. reason it.. I also need answer to the above questions.

@Solomon, thank God for Google. dude you ain't ika. just admit your igbo label

the Solomon guy can't provide the answer? or has he gone to visit Google?? am waiting

@solo What is the name and title of the king of owa ekei

another point of correction. no ika king belongs to the ohaneze ndigbon. nor does any ika citizen belongs there. when we say ika we mean ika north and south lga in Delta state. of which asaba is excluded. a royal father in Delta can invite another royal father to a function as a guest. But that doesn't mean he is a member of such group. ikas refer to igbos as igbon (slaves )..always ready to claim any good thing. the latest being that dangote i
has an igbo gene which gives his name dangote as (di anyi gote ).

@old fool. obviously you should reason with your brains and not your fingers.I won't go into that argument with you as my correction has been made and taken. always know that There are ikas on nairaland waiting to spot and correct your lies and Wikipedia false theories.

@ berem. point of correction. igbanke. ota. and some areas in edo state are ika speaking areas and not igbo speaking as claimed by the land grabbing igbo propagandist. never rely on Wikipedia as a credible source of information. thanks.

senselessness is your second name. the op as already made it an igbo issue. But your selective amnesia didn't see that in his last statement. proud igbo daughter indeed.

The major languages spoken in the state are Ebira,Edo, Esan and ika/Okpamheri.EdoState is home to several ethnicities,so perhaps there were more of Benin present at the occasion which is Why edo was used. don't come with Your land grabbing attitude here... igbanke is of the ika stock and Never igbo. in such gathering in Delta. we speak either English or pigeon.

@ one naira. you are either dumb or a selective amnesia patient. never has any ika person included you and your deluded likes in the discussion about ika. stop being silly.. you are neither from ika north nor south, hence I see no reason for your stupid accusation of aligning your area to ika.. certainly you are an igbon. that's Why you plead for relevance and incorporation into the igbo label... no one is dragging you into ika OK?? .ikas are proud of their culture and heritage.

thanks agbontean.don't mind the ignorance ridden fools. igbons...... eworo ki wuh.

keep yawning. hungry bigFOOL... IGBON

foolish igbotic fools..... you will soon be deported to your village... igbon.. slaves

maybe some you igbotic urchins should read What Philip emeagwali said about onitsha...you foolishly accuse the ikas of identity crises.whereas the igbos are the most confused of all tribes. black Jews.nri, yoruba. etc. read below.



Introduction: By PHILIP EMEAGWALII am a Yoruba by birth (born in Akure, western region) and Igbo byheritage. As a native Onitsha Igbo, I trace my ancestry to Eze Chima,a prince who rebelled against the Benin royal dynasty and emigratedfrom the kingdom. Other Igbos that trace their lineage to Eze Chimainclude Onicha-Ukwu, Onicha-Olona, Onicha-Ugbo, Obior,Issele-Ukwu, Issele-Mkpima, Issele-Azagba, Ezi, Abeh and Obamkpa.Native Onitshans speak a dialect of the Igbo language with severalBenin/Yoruba words such as"Obi" (of Onitsha) and "Oba" (of Benin).In fact, the word Onitsha (Onicha) is a corruption of the god "Orisha."The bini name for River Niger is Ohinmwin. The Onicha Igbo call it"Orinmili." In a few years, we will have DNA tests that proves (ordisproves) the Onitsha-Benin-Yoruba connection.In fact, a lost dialect of the Yoruba language, called Olukwumu, isspoken in Brazil and in a few Igbo communities named Anioma,Idumu-Ogu, Ubulubu, Ugboba, Ugbodu, and Ukwunzu(M. A. Onwuejeogwu, 1987 Ahiajoku LectureThe absence Olukwumu in core Yoruba land proves that thesecommunities are the Lost Yoruba Tribe that were fleeing fromslave raiders.

all you igbons should hide your faces in shame.you have lost your tricks of claiming ika.. and now your debate has changed to Delta state politics which none of you know about ....start crying, like a believed orphan.... igbon

am sure you don't have brains to read and understand...

@abagworo. remember you are entitled to your opinion. here in abia state.We have the ogua ika.where all members of the towns that comprises the ika nation.residing here meet. that's once in a month.also all these individual towns organise their own meetings. like UPU(UMUNEDE PROGRESSIVE UNION ). Agbor. owa.etc. so you see We have never fraternized with your ohaneeze. We have been independent
so don't come here and claim that the larger igbo society accepts ika As their brothers because that's mere delusional.people choose whom they want to be and not What the Almighty larger society says....I'm an ika.and proudly one.

this small silly Francis you are just a waste of space.so it's your igbo language that is not dying abi. the fake pigeon spoken in the east was copied from warri and Benin.I stay in the east and you dare not deceive your self that igbo language is finished. where parents teach their kids just English. only for the kids to grow up and adopt pigeon English. anu mpam.

and you think You know your roots??. stupid black Jew.abi na nri. which one are you.seems how fast there are at claiming successful people.they will soon deport you to your village. nuisance of Nigeria. igbon. wah saka bihia igbon ri weh eya.

@aroli.you talk like man,type like a man,but think like an slowpoke. 4runner

@Christopher. if you are waiting for any ika king to stoop so low to your level as to coming out publicly to say he is igbo or not. then you have to keep dreaming because our monarchs are not as jobless as your dummy of kings. no matter how much you pretend not see that 99% of ikas are proud of thier ethnicity, it won't still change the glaring facts.
