Do not ever put Afikpo and poor in same sentence, only Afikpo North (Ehugbo) will do the whole of Ika... We are not Afikpo natives so cannot give you all their names. I know they have a lot of professors. Even one time HOD in Mathematics department at Uniben was an Afikpo man.
I know silent billionaires like Idu Igariwey and his brothers. The Oti family etc.
No Ika actor or actress is bigger than Grace Amah and Chacha Eke. Neither any of your musician bigger than Sinach.

Is it not the same Ika that is shown on Everything Ika Youtube channel? abi which one? Ika was even way way way worse than when I visited in 2013 and 2014, so backward and full of witches, thank God that Okowa gave it a small uplift, either ways, it is still full of brown roofs.

Here find shots of Afikpo. A good mix of nature and concrete.

Full of witches?them witch you?
E be like say you want make your matter enter realm wey pass you.
The so called billionare state his networth here.Ikaland of 2014 is totally different from today ikaland.

You're Bini man claiming ika,95% of ika people that work at CBN use Igbo as ethnic identity and they're proud of it. Well no need telling a Bini man like you about them,this is public forum.

What an insult to me? Anyway until we meet.Igbos are too gullible that is why others can clsim igbos and it their food.
How can you insult a full blooded ika man by saying he is not ika?
Why are you emotional?
So I must asslick igbos to be ika?
God forbid.I will send you my LGA of origin cert if you want.

Ahamefuna0001:
Who told you they're Ijaw? U think Ijaw is the only tribe in MEND? Ijaw starts and ends in Bayelsa state.

Tompolo and john togo are ijaws,nor let hatred worry you.

Igboid:
Wizboy never saw himself as non Igbo.
And yes, we all knew he was from Umunnede.

You are not an Enugu brought up. You have that Bini issue that troubles poorly travelled Ika people in you

calm down,he is doing all that to get igbo support.
The first settler in umunede came from benin,so as many families in umunnede.

Igboid:
Lol! Wizboy nah Enugu brought up. Nwa 042. He always saw himself as Igbo.
He was good and as an 042 boy myself, I am his fan.
But even at his peak, he wasn't at Patoranking level.

So as I dey enugu,I nor be ika again?
Wizboy is from umunede clan in ikaland.

ThatFairGuy1:
You're laughing?

Ask bini people what the aftermath of EndSARS protest was like where Criminals are freed, police station busted, arms and ammunition carted away

My guy I was in benin that period,upper sokponba was very dangerious.Daylight robbery,comm of police ordered his men not to go to upper.I was almost shot close to oka market by this boys one morning when I jam them for akugbe junction.
I nor even know say they don block there that morning and I was armless and walking alone.Nobody was close by except one driver wey reserve he asked to go back that those boys are robbers or weapon to defend myself,I wan be go buy something.

Igboid:
No Ika man dead or alive can tie the shoe laces of Akanu Ibiam, the former governor of defunct Eastern region.
Patoranking is from Afikpo zone too and is currently more popular than any one from Ika as far entertainment industry is concerned.

Man up and go relearn your Edo language. Stop speaking that baldly mutilated and disfigured Igbo language you call Ika language.
Una no dey shame?

Even far away Engenni in Rivers state retained their Edoid language. Even Epie in Bayelsa did same.
But you traded your Edo language for a badly mutilated and denatured version of Igbo you call Ika, despite living next door to Edos

Wizboy in his prime was and is still better than that pator.....whatever you him.

Igboid:
No Ika man dead or alive can tie the shoe laces of Akanu Ibiam, the former governor of defunct Eastern region.
Patoranking is from Afikpo zone too and is currently more popular than any one from Ika as far entertainment industry is concerned.

Igboo(indian hemp) nor good just tell me any rich afikpo man that can challenge jim ovia wealth and connection,currently so many Ika people were appointed into okowa government,so many ikas now working in cbn abuja(God go bless emefiele)
Or is it in police,I nor need to tell you that.
Ask Nwanyiogwashi about ikas working in cbn abuja.
Even Nddc,Ikas full there.

Igboid:
So you want to claim a Bini man just to be able to measure up to Afikpo?

Onye ori mmadu.

Why should I try to measure up with poor afikpo people?the opposite should be the case here.
You dey mad,a benin man who happens to be a friend of my father,(both my father and the man are late now,may their soul rest in peace)gave a benin name out of hapiness in his mind during the celebration of my birth.
There one boy in benin,the community where he was born(Ugoniyokorhiowmon) gave him his name "Osakpolor" .His both parents are from ebonyi,does that change the fact that he is igbo? Till this day he still bears that name .

Igboid:
I'm a member of Igbanke forums and I have seen this argument play out.
The consensus among them is that Igbanke is a distinct ethnicity.
Who cares about your slavish Edo names?
Do well and adopt Edo language too and stop mutilating our Igbo language in the name of Ika language.
Be like Oza nogogo people in Agbor. They retained their Edoid language. How hard can that be?
As long as you keep speaking mutilated version of Igbo language and bear denatured Igbo names, you will remain under Igbo Shadow.


Your kings should go to Bini and employ Bini language teachers to help you relearn your Bini language. Stop beating around the Bush already.

I pity you,grown up man go dey lie for nairaland and still beleive his own lies.
IPOB wonder,how can you tell yourself lies and assume your lies are true?
You go soon run mad,you are emotional.You need help anyway,which afikpo man can stand jim ovia wealth and power?

Igboid:
They don't claim Ika. They claim Igbanke, then a few claim Bini and a few claim Ika.
That's how it is in Igbanke today.

By the way, have you agreed that Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia was a proper Bini man?

Do you think if he was in any way Ika that Edos would have allowed him rule them in Bendel without grudges?
Bini see you as nothing other than subordinates. You are not expected to rule over them.
Ogbemudia was a proper Bini man. He was even buried in Benin City.

His mum was Igbanke woman though, so he always had soft spot for Igbanke and wanted them to be in same state as his paternal ethnic group Bini.

Nairalander pls help beg this guy to stop misinforming people to suit his narrative.which kind yeye be this?
Igbos and lie,Lucifer is an Igbo man.

Igboid:
Stop the beer parlour story.
Ogbemudia was a proper Bini man. He lived and died a Bini man and was buried in Benin.

Is the ogbemudia I know some of his people from Igbanke?Yes,he lived and died as an edo man with ika blood.
No go talk this thing for benin say ogbe papa na benin,them go laugh you.Na im mama na imm be benin.
It is not beer parlour story,Igbos must stop twisting facts to suit their narrative.

Igboid:
The Igbankes of today claim Igbanke is a distinct ethnicity. A few claim Ika while a significant amount claim Bini.
So No, Igbanke of today is not Ika.

Which significant claim benin?
90% still claim their ika,stop misinforming out of your hatred for Ika people.Nor let fustration kill you.
Which igbanke man claim distinct ethnicity?
Igbos and too much lies,No wonder supreme leader get so many followers wey he dey use lies and propaganda control.
Look,some may even answer benin names because of how they are systematically oppressed by edo government.Yes,even me from owa,I have a benin name but I use my other ika name,which sound Igboid.That my benin names sweet me "Edobor" it was given to me by a benin man when I was a baby.
And in the future I will still add to my name officaially.
Just like Chief of Defense Staff has his ediod and igboid names combined.

Igboid:
His mother is Igbanke, his father is Bini.

Look you dey argue rubbish,Look the founder of faith guard christain assembly,along benin abraka road at Egba community.Pastor edwin Idahosa,his maternal grand mum was the one who assisted ogbemudia mother to look after ogbemudia when he was a baby
Go to that church and ask the pastor,he is a popular man in benin.I know the pastor,his wife,children,mother and siblings personally.So I am not stranger in this case.
The mum of the pastor told the story of ogbemudia and how her mum and ogbe's mum were friends.
Ogbemudia dug his grave with his own hands besides his mother's when he was alive,and ordered to be buried in that grave when he depart.

Igboid:
The Igbankes of today claim Igbanke is a distinct ethnicity. A few claim Ika while a significant amount claim Bini.
So No, Igbanke of today is not Ika.

Why you dey lie?
Over 90% claim their ika ethnicity.Stop lying on the internet.
Face reality not emotion.Igbos are too emotional.
Pls counter jim ovia with a rich afikpo man.

Igboid:
Ogbemudia is a Bini man. Only his mum is from Igbanke.

Bros talk wetin you know,his mother is a benin woman.

garfield1:
It is not igbodo but jitoboh.he worked with gej who gave him rapid promotion in the police

Aig David Igbodo is a different person,aboki you go school so?
Just search for him,Aig barr david Igbodo,Aig in charge of police legal matter,force headquarter abuja.

Jamesbally:
It's because, there's no qualified candidates from the South.

If i lie, mention one qualified candidate from the South? NONE

Aig david Igbodo

garfield1:
He is gej boy

Oh naso una dey do am eh fulani,Igbodo is not any boy to anyone,fulas are evil and tribalist.
Buhari is I nor go curse you,but anything you like do,2moro get belle for northerners.
2023 north must be paid back with their loapsided appointment.

Idiko1:
You and so-called Ika people will take the position vacated by the Itsekiri.

Why are you pained,we are not like Itsekiri we are different with different goal and Objectives.

Ekealterego:
Going by the logic, we should also add Ohafia which includes Abriba in Abia state and other groups in Cross-Rivers state cos they are basically the same people.

I have agreed with you guys,but counter jim ovia with a rich afikpo business man.

ThumbzTNA:
Michael Ama Nnachi, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Abakaliki
Ika has no single religious leader

Late Martins Otunta, (died recently) Vice Chancellor Micheal Okpara University of Agriculture, Abia
Ika can't produce a VC

Gary Enwo-Igariwey, Immediate past head of Ohaeneze Ndigbo
Even head of Benin Kingdom sociopolitical organization, they no go give Ika man

Ikas have Ogwa ika organisation,Onu Ika and we are not interested in benin organisation,I see no reason you should be pained about benin people,them Bleep your sister toto?

ThumbzTNA:
Liyel Imoke, the former governor of Cross River State is from Abi LGA and they are mostly igbo speaking with the same culture Afikpo igbos.
"Afikpo Igbo" are found in Obubura and Abi in Cross River. The culture those ones practice are a mirror of what exists in Afikpo and they share boundaries with us.


But we are talking about Afikpo and Ika, as it stands today. Period.


Reason why I'm limiting my arguments to the confines of my Local Govt's map

Bros it is not about culture similirities,those people don't claim afikpo or Igbos,yes you guys may have same ancestors. But Ikas in edo are not hiding it,It very clears to the whole world that they are Ikas,and they happy about it.
Anyway pls counter Jim Ovia with a rich afikpo business man.

Ekealterego:
How old are you self? No insults intended.. You dey talk like a teenager though.

Like teenager?No be your fault,I blame nairaland.Anyway I spoke my mind that the nsukka girl is good but I nor wan marry and do anything with her.But she is good.

Which afikpo King is as rich,recognise and powerful as the Dein of agbor? Or the Obi of Owa.When my Ebonyi guy tell me say them dey chop person,I dey shake my head for ebonyans the cannibals eating human meat.

ThumbzTNA:
Is Igbanke in Ika North or Ika South LGA?

Ikas are not only found in those two LGA.
In edo Ikas are found in three LGA.counter me If I am lying.

Nduka Obaigbena , founder of ThisDay Newspapers, AriseTV/Network, Arise Fashion Show Lagos.
He is an ika man,counter him pls.

ThumbzTNA:
My friend will you keep quiet, Samuel Ogbemudia is from Igbanke in Orhionmwon in Edo state. Ika people have to steal notable personalities because your remote backward village don't have people

Your Ignorance dey shame me,so you don't know Igbanke is one of one clan in ikaland?
Or you don't ekpon clan is also in edo state?
Oh you think Ikas are only in delta?
Research properly so that you will not disgrace yourself.
Meanwhile
David Ojei & Sunny Egede, Business Tycoons, Owners of the Prince Ebeano Supermarket Franchise, are both Ika people.Counter them pls.

ThumbzTNA:
Akanu Ibiam. Governor Of Old Eastern Nigeria and predecessor of Ojukwu. The international Airport in Enugu is named after him. No Ika man has an international airport named after him and No Ika politician is as or can ever be bigger than him

Samuel Ogbemudia was bigger than him,Ogbe stadium in benin is named after him.

What about AIG Barr David Igbodo?
Buhari is a tribalist and an ethnic bias man.
So as Intelligent as AIG Igbodo,he is not qualify?

Ekealterego:
You keep mentioning Dorathy, is She bigger than Grace Amah or Chacha Eke?

If I start mentioning politicians you go run. I do not want to bring in much politicians for a reason.

Bring screenshots of views of Ika let us compare with Afikpo.

No author in Ika is bigger than CHRIS ABANI.

Mention afikpo politicians I am waiting .
Late pastor prince sam obi is from Ute-okpu royal family,he was the one time acting governor of delta state.He died few days ago.
List any afikpo man as rich as jim Ovia.
I have many Ikas I have not measure their names,so expect some later this night.

FatherOfJesus:
But some Ika people are Igbos who lost their identity after the civil war.

Stop beleiving IPOB story,the ikas with igbo ancestry,their ancestors came to Ikaland long time ago.
Na so IPOB talk say lucky Irabor built the biggest mosque in agbor,where as Major Gen Lucky Irabor is an Assistant Pastor in redeem church(adeboye church).
