Okowa has never denied being Igbo.
Lol..
He was too preoccupied distancing himself from every issue that had to do with Igbos,to offer up a formal denial..
Him and his people would be the first to refer to you as Igbo,so what does that make them?

I’ve never seen more confused tribe than these Igbo people... later they’ll say they are counting them out.

Even Obi that’s gaining momentum now, you guys can’t even support, now tell me how other people want to take you seriously.
. Just the way all Yorubas are supporting Tinubu, including Doyin Okupe.

Obi is a national movement and not limited to Tribe.Get that into your skull you tribal bigot and hateful soul. If all these developed countries you're wishing to travel to had your horrible mentality, will they develop?

Delta people (eg Okowa) and Rivers people (eg Amechi) will identify with Igbo people only when it is convenient.

To be Igbo is not by force. Remain SS and be proud of it. The only officially recognized cardinal points are East, West, North and South. Nigerian madness cannot change that. They can come out with South South North for all we care. cool

Election has come and the dimwit has remember that be is an Igbo
Because he wants the Igbo(south east) to vote for Odo(Atiku) massively as the voted for them in 2019
He has never come out before to claim that he is an Igbo
Now he is saying it because he needs Igbo to vote for him�
As for me and my family we have Obidiently collected our PVC waiting for #peterobi2023


Okowa has NEVER said he's not Igbo. But I will not vote Atiku for president of Nigeria for any reason.
I would rather vote Tinubu or Obi, but never for Atiku who looks down on people from the south of Nigeria.

Atiku and Wike dribbled SE. Atiku then dribbled Wike. No UNPAID SE person will vote PDP in the presidential election. SS except Delta will depend on how Wike eventually reacts just before election. SW mostly vote APC. Most New votes from SW are for Peter Obi.
I don't see how any middle belt person will vote Atiku except a small number.
Please all Obiedent people remember it is mind games. It's the votes that matter otherwise they won't be buying the votes. Don't let anyone discourage you.
After this presidential election most of the elections in 2027 will be young position holders. The first Hordle is to break away this chain. Please make sure you get your PVC and  vote. If voting pattern gives APC and PDP 25 million votes. Youth votes can fetch over 50 million votes and that will turn all the analysis on it's head.


To PDP, At 10k per vote you guys need 100billion to get the 10 million you last last time. Without Wike can Atiku bankroll this? Or are votes cheaper in some regions?

Your civil war mantra made igbos in the SS(Whatever that means) deny their igbo heritage(some of them anyway)
Obi has NATIONAL support not like one drug baron from osun who is claiming lagos and milking it dry

Dear Okowa, everybody knows you are Igbo, only the fools think otherwise because of crude oil, but the issue is, Igbos won't vote for you and Atiku just because Atiku chose you an Igbo man as VP. Igbos don't play tribal politics like Yorubas and maybe Hausa-Fulanis.


In 2003, Ikemba Ojukwu the face of Biafra contested for President against Obasanjo, Igbos didn't vote for Ikemba, they rather voted massively for Obasanjo a Yoruba man.


Also in the same 2003, Buhari picked Chuba Okadigbo an eminent Igbo son as VP and Igbos rejected them also and instead voted for Obasanjo a Yoruba man.


Igbos supported Atiku/Obi in 2019 because Igbos believed in Obi and also saw Atiku as a detribalised man who is not a religious bigot like Buhari, not just because Atiku picked Obi as VP.


Igbo youths are queuing behind Peter Obi now not because Obi is Igbo but because they see quality, a high level of honesty and accountability in Peter Obi more than others. Only Prof Yemi Osinbajo could have divided Igbo votes with Peter Obi in 2023 but unfortunately APC chose the wrong person to fly their ticket.


Well said . Well said.

Make I add my own.

But it's hard to understand how Hausa/Fulani succeeded in its divide and conquer and rule tactics to make some natural Igbos deny that they are Igbo; even 50 years after the end of the civil war.
An Igbo name, Onyesom Nwike, was Ikwerre-styled to Nyesom Wike, because of that, the bearer of the name says he is not Igbo.

A Yoruba Okun man in Kogi state, or a Yoruba man in Kwara or Edo state will be first to tell that he is a Yoruba, without being asked.

I'm an Okun man. Although some claim they are not Yorubas (just like Wike, which is foolish), we generally identify as Yorubas and participate in Yoruba activities across Nigeria.

One can't use little linguistic features to differentiate oneself from a parent ethnic group. Itsekiris, although they speak a Yoruboid language are not Yorubas. The linguistic differences and cultural differences is enough to make them an ethnic group without a second doubt. I don't know about Ikwerres, but 95% of Okun words are Yoruba words but pronounced differently just like how other Yoruba subgroups like Ijebu, Owo, Ekiti pronounce theirs differently as well.
