Dpharisee:

Why are our Yoruba brothers very bitter about Anioma having a state and relating with our kit and kin across the Niger River, the Ooni will travel to Brazil and Caribbean, Benin Republic and Togo and claim them as Yorubas but cannot allow allow Anioma people to have an identity as a sub-Igboid group like Owerri, Aba or Nsukka man with whom they share a lot of affinity with them.

Its like some tribes in Nigeria doesn't want Anioma to progress because identifying as Igbos will give Anioma the population and numbers and stronger voice to be forceful in pushing their desires for an equitable country 🤔
Now I know that subjugation of Anioma and Igbos in Nigeria is a deliberate policy which they are afraid is beginning to crumble

Yorubas don't even claim Itsekiri or the ones in Kogi that are nearby. It's those people that are attaching themselves to Yorubas. If you go to Togo and Ghana, you would meet tribes claiming they are Yorubas. The ga king below travelled all the way from Ghana to visit ooni to say they are Yoruba.

The only place Ooni traveled to was Brazil and the president there even called himself proud son of oduduwa.

The presidential palace in Barbados is called ilaro (named after ilaro town in Ogun state). It's the Brazilians and south American that worship Yoruba gods and often travel to Yorubaland, home of their ancestors.

In these case of Ika or Ikwerre vs ibos, those are the ones divided and a majority do not want to be associated with Ibo. Nothing concern Yorubas with that one. Please stick to the topic. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I'm still wondering how they changed Igbo-Uzo, to Ibusa

Or UmuOkoro to Rummukoro

Godstime001:
Oga speak for your self. We Ika are not Igbo.

Are speaking for yourself when you said “We Ika”


Hypocrite!!!

I don’t think an anioma state from delta state is what we need , they said they are not Igbos , let them be , they will go back to being delinquent state when they get what they want which is a state but ideologically away from Igbo nation , I say NO to an anioma state being part of the south east

Abagworo:


Ika is not a mixture of Igbo and Benin language but simply Igbo that developed some new words with Benin as next door neighbours. Igbos recognized both Emefiele and Okowa as great Igbo sons.

Does Igbos recognise Emefiele CBN appointment as Igbo cabinet slot?

discusant:


Bros, welu nwayo. There are about 60 million Igbos worldwide, so what makes you think the Igbo has interest in looking for other people to become Igbo? Divided you fall. Why make Ika-Igbo a non Igbo group? What do you gain from being a tiny ethnic group in the middle of very large ethnic groups? Nothing.

Dede'm, I'm speaking against enemies that live to see AlaIgbo divided

Its a priority for Ndị Igbo and Yoruba will not use them against Ndị Igbo again.

Bendeco2020:

Both Onicha Ugbo (Delta), Onicha Orona (Delta) and Onicha Ado of Anambra are same people

From Igbanke to Onitsha are Under Eze Chima clan

I heard Onicha Ugbo is the most senior amongst the Onicha brothers and the Obi of Onitsha (Ado) pays him homage as elder brother?

ariesbull:
Ika isn't a mixture of Ika and Benin dialects please Ika is Igbo with small Benin loan words

An average Ika will understand central Igbo

But will never understand Benin language

Like I said earlier. All these are your assumption and Ika people have written their history in tabloid. The earlier you accept this fact,the better for your sanity.

However, Ika will always wine, dine, inter-marry, share culture & identity and do business with the core Igbos. As for changing their history to claim their ancestors are not Benin, its fa-fa-fa foul

Okay bros. If anyone with fore or middle name Chukwuma, surname as Okolie or Ifeajuna, and observes the four markets days of Eke, Orie, Afor, Nkwo,
and understands Igbo language; but says "I no be Ibo," ignore the person because he is clowning. People of other ethnic groups look at the person with pity.

cassyrooy:
Here, look at 165 and tell us what you know about Ndị Igbo.

The British don't tell us who we are. There is nothing like Ika Igbo. I'm an Ika man and Ika Igbo is alien to us. Nobody in Ikaland calls themselves Ika Igbo. And as ignorant as the British are, they also call th3 Aniocha Oshimili amd Ndokwas Ika Igbo. Those people are not Ika people I wonder what Ika is doing in their name but the British ignorant use that artificial term for everyone in th3 region

Abagworo:


@bolded shows how ignorant you are. Place Ikwerre, Ngwa, Owerri, Onitsha, Abiriba, Nsukka and Ezza people side by side then compare each with your perception of average Igbo man. Igbo is the conglomerate of all despite the little differences. Malaysia and Indonesia are like Ngwa and Ikwerre. Now tell me the difference between an average Ngwa man and average Ikwerre man let's start from there.

Are you telling me that Igbo is Ikwerre?
We the ikwerres have gone beyond ikwerre is Igbo.

Thundafireseun:
Im not Igbo and I will never be Igbo ….

Majority of Anioma people have distanced themselves from Igbo people including me….

I’m proudly Anioma and what I speak is Aniontha

Lol! Stop allowing the divide and rule strategy IBB used for our forefathers to keep working on

I am Imo Igbo

U ARE MERELY DIGGING YOUR OWN GRAVE.

JUST 2 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA CREATING PROBLEMS FOR THEMSELVES FROM NORTH TO SOUTH, WHERE WILL YOU RUN TO WHEN THEY COME LOOKING FOR YOU.

ORDINARY KALABARI WILL DESCEND AND CONQUER YOU.

ariesbull:
they are the Okun people and Kabba they near Yoruba names but they claim they sent Yoruba but we know that they are yoruba


Ijebu people also some claim they don't believe in that their oduduwa ish and they aren't Yoruba also...

Okun never denied being Yoruba. Okun are always proud Yoruba. They speak the same dialect as Ekiti/Ondo axis. Infact, they always agitate to be reunited with their South west brother.

The other group in Kogi state that bear Yoruba name and agreed to have come from Ife are Igori people of the Igorimagogo local government. They speak a fusion of Yoruba and Ebira bear Yoruba names and share cultural similarities with the Yoruba. I didn't know about them until i served in Kogi state.

EreluRoz:

When your forebears wanted to annihilate us it was the Kalabaris that came to our aid knowing that we are not you. Can you imagine Asari Grandfather leaving ikwerre land to come to your place for slaves? He left ikwerre people because he knew they are not you.

So there r people who can come out in Delta state n say they r Igbos? I tot they rejected the Igbo identity before. Wonders shall never end

I'M REALLY THE WRONG PERSON TO CHAT YOUR SHIT AND NONSENSE.


U STILL DEY GET MOUTH SMALL BECAUSE IGBO GROUPS IN THE UPLANDS.


WHEN WE PULL THEM OUT AND ABANDON YOUR ASS WITH KALABARI, THEN WE WILL PUT YOUR FANTASY TO THE TEST.

KINGTELLER:

Ika person speaks Ika as a dialect. It's mixture of Igbo and Benin language, though the igbo language is predominant.

The problem Ika people have with Igbos is that the core Igbos dont regard Ika as part and parcel of their clans, even when it comes to political appointment, Igbos dont recognise an Ika position as Igbo slot.

Not true, appointments in Nigeria are not based on tribe but geopolitical zones and state. I have not seen any Igbo deny Ika man who identify as Igbo of their rights, they are even given preference for recognising their kinsmen across the River Niger

This has never been in doubt it's good to see them finally coming out openly to assert their igbo heritage this will definitely now dissuade enemies of igbos from taking advantage of their identity crisis to further politically disorganise the igbo nation shame to stupid anioma stooges like laureta onochie who has sworn that the anioma nation has absolutely no connections with the igbos in the south east.

Proudly Ika but I am not Ibo

Don1987:
I am Ika man from Ekwuoma, an Igbo man to the core not a womanizer. I don't see anything Linking me with Benin. If there is any I believe my language would have been Benin despite the proximity. The only and only language similar to Ika is Igbo. Although few migrated from Benin which they met people already settled and accommodated them. That is not a enough reason link us with the Benin

I am wondering why there's so much bitterness and anger for any Ika man that identifies as Igbo by mostly Yorubas and some other tribes, wetin una do them?
Why the desperation amongst Nigerians to ensure that there's a division between Ika and your Igbo kinsmen for years, it now looks suspicious to me 😳

In Abuja some years back as a youth, I saw firsthand that to get job in federal government you must deny your Igbo roots and you must never indicate you are Igbo or else you will be denied promotion. This made a lot of Igbos from Delta and Edo never to fill Igbo as tribe in forms

Lovit:
Proudly Ika but I am not Ibo

IKA IS A CLAN AND ANIOMA TRIBE.


IGBO IS YOUR NATION.

MUCH OF THIS CONFUSION IS DOWN TO POOR EDUCATION IN NIGERIA.


SINCE FULANI ASSUME CHARGE OF GOVERNMENT AND EDUCATION, ALOT OF MISINFORMATION IN NIGERIA.


PEOPLE DONT KNOW THE DIFFERNCE BETWEEN CLAN, TRIBE AND NATION.


U CAN BE IKA CLAN AND ANIOMA TRIBE BUT IGBO NATION.


THESE ARE THE LEVELS AND AT EACH LEVEL THE SIZE INCREASES.

ON A CONTINENTAL LEVEL YOU ARE AFRICANS.


THERE ARE LEVELS, LET US STOP BEING MISEDUCATED AND PUTTING OUR IGNORANCE OUT THERE.


IT IS SHAMEFUL TO WATCH A GROWN ASS MAN, SOUNDING STUPID.


IT IS OK TO CORRECT A CHILD ABOUT THESE THINGS BUT TO HAVE TO DO SAME WITH AN ADULT IS NOT OK.

AND WHAT IS FUNNY IS THE WAY THEY BRAZENLY PUT THEIR STUPIDITY ON DISPLAY.


EVEN IF YOUR FATHER OR GRANDFATHER TOLD YOU THE WRONG THING, WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD, WITH ALL THIS INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO TODAY, THANKS TO THE INFORMATION AGE, ARE U NOT SUPPOSE TO KNOW BETTER?



U ARE SUPPOSE TO KNOW BETTER THAN YOUR FATHER AND GRANDFATHER BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE LEVEL OF INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO AT THE CLICK OF A BUTTON.


U ARE SUPPOSE TO BE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN THEM WITH UPDATED INFORMATION.

Thundafireseun:


Im from Oshimili North….right now I’m residing in Asaba

I know your moniker personally lol. Stop lying

Cabalgeneral:


You're from Igbo not from Delta state,no Igbo in Delta state

I never said I was Igbo, mister man. Moreover, It is very ignorant to say that there is no Igbo in delta. It is akin to saying that there are no Yorubas in Kogi.
