ariesbull: Nwanne, I have strong blood relationship with Anioma people. Issele uku in particular. But I'm not from Anioma. I'm from Anambra. I Know fully well that as far as there is no war involved. If a referendum is conducted in Enu-ani today for them to choose between joining SE in Biafra or remaining in Nigeria with minorities. They would choose to join us in SE. I can't speak for Ika and Ndokwa/, Ukwuani people. Those ones appear lost. But time will tell. 2 Likes |

Truthshots23: If the towns bear Igbo names and the people speak Igbo, they are definitely not Edo. Today, you wear shirts and trousers introduced from Europe. That doesn't make you a European. So when Igbos go, every true Igbo element in the SS will join their Igbo brothers. 1 Like |

These are the taqiya group. Believe those fools at your own peril. They were asked if they support a referendum, they said no because their useless constitution doesn't have room for a referendum. Can you imagine their idiocy. Those fools think that they are smart. |

OfoIgbo:The problem you see is that you don't actually practice what you preach. Precolonial maps and texts prove me right, my people are Edo. It is you who is using contemporary "observations" to call us igbo: you don't even ask yourself when the words you talk about started being considered as "igbo" also there are places in lagos which bear haussa in their name, there is China town in the usa, should China claim it ? You guys generally don't make sense. I don't know if you are aware but there is no such thing as precolonial igbo dictionary ! Written language is new to the region, therefore nobody can actually claim a word belongs to his "tribe". Even the word igbo doesn't refer to a tribe but to a bunch of tribes brought together bu the british to reduce costs of leadership. To you guys, every observations which go against your claims of my people being igbo are either hallucinations either like people speaking english today but not actually being british, at the same time you bring your own contemporary observations and use that to claim we are igbo. Look, we don't need to prove our non-igboness to you. Just leave us alone and face your southeast. |

Igboid:The map has nothing to do with any colonial entity, it was made in 1711, long before colonisation, however the map doesn't show what your friend is claiming, it shows biafra as bring part of present day Cameroon as clearly written on the page posted by your friend, The entire present day southern nigeria is listed under Benin in the same map. |

Truthshots23: Before the advance of colonial masters they considered themselves igbo that is why we have towns hearing Akuko igbo (anioma ) Igbo bi na Uzor (igbuzor for short ) Delta Igbo etiti. ( Enugu State ) Igbo Ukwu (anambra ) Azu igbo ( Anambra) Obi igbo ( rivers ) Igbo etche (rivers ) Abu igbo (Abia ) So these areas have been hearing igbo names and that is am indication that they are igbo .... |

ariesbull: Unsubstantiated and factually wrong, brfore the british, the ancestors of those who call themselves igbo today were from different small tribes, it is the british who turned them into one tribe due to their backwardness and the difficulty to rule hundreds of small tribes indirectly. What you say is based on dogma not on facts. |
Re: Northern Elders: Let Igbo Secede If It’s Their Wish — We Can’t Afford Another Wa by OfoIgbo: 12:38pm On Jun 08, 2021 |
Truthshots23: No, Chinese people cannot claim China Town in the US. FIrst of all, China is an English pronounciation of that country. Secondly, TOWN is an English word, so it is clear China Town is not the original name of the place. What does Akwukwu-Igbo (headquarters of Oshimili North) mean in Edo? What does ANIOMA mean in Edo? Does ANIOMA have exactly the same meaning in Igbo, as it does, in Anioma areas? All these your twisting and turning will not help you. And by the way, I hope you know that Igodomigodo belongs to Nri people, who are certified bonafide Igbos. So Igbos may yet claim Igodomigodo as a part of Biafra, if you guys really want to get into some land tussles with Ndigbo. That is why till today, Edo people still use the 4 market days owned and instituted by the Nri people. |

OfoIgbo: Once again, written words are new to the region, so any claims of words belonging to igbo is dead on arrival, also the Oba of Benin has Uku in his title, I guess it makes him igbo according to you then. Also for your information, Igodomigodo is a made up story, a fairytale, this just exposed further the fact you guys are clueless about history. You dont know what you are talking about. There is a place in paris which is called "quartier latin", should Italy claim it ? |
Re: Northern Elders: Let Igbo Secede If It’s Their Wish — We Can’t Afford Another Wa by OfoIgbo: 12:48pm On Jun 08, 2021 |
Truthshots23: What does UKU mean? Answer this question, I will tell you more about Nri and Benin To those who don't know, UKU is UKWU which means waist. The Oba of Benin goes with the appendage UKU KPOLOKPOLO. This is a corruption of the Igbo phrase UKWU KPOLAKPO. I'm about to take this nigga to school 1 Like |

OfoIgbo:Look, you are a deluded fool, do yourself a favour and stop spreading your fake history. Your revisionism won't turn nri into an empire, nri is a village and always will be so. I know you are trying to copy yoruba with their fake history surrounding ife village, the world still knows ife as a village and will never see nri as anything else. |
