Oga stop this lie.Perhaps origin of Ika people is diverse.

Do the research.... I am from Ika, owa-alero, the same place as okowa, and I can't deny being Igbo. The man who founded the village which we come from is known as odogwu who came on a boat from nri village in Anambra state.

All you kids, rather than confirm or do your own research, will just be arguing like kids. I am on my middle age, and I will be stupid to deny my lineage

Until Nigerians begins to see each other as a Nigeria and not minding What tribe he or she is from.

The issues of divided will always remain something to debate on .

The British created Nigeria. Nigeria means nothing. Tribe means something. It is our origin, culture and tradition. White man created colonisation to destroy Africans and make them nothing. As a yoruba man, I will always defend my fellow yorubas. I will always put yorubas first. Other tribes are not my business. I don't have any problem with anyone. This 2023 election, tinubu is going to be the president and I will vote for him. It won't make sense for me to vote for another tribe when my own is contesting. Regardless whether tinubu is a good or bad person, as long as we are from the same tribe, I have to choose him.

Vinnie2000:
Nice one but the Okun pple dat refuse to be called Yoruba, dont u think they have good reasons?

Sure. For one, I'd say the Northern divide and rule tactics. Separating people from their kinsmen can make them crave an identity for themselves. We still have Okuns in Kwara/Ekiti today.

Secondly, some Okuns speculate that they are aboriginal to the region. However, many oral stories point the Yagba people (closest to SW) as migrants from Ile Ife and others from Oyo.

In general, we speak the lingua-franca Yoruba in our churches or when communicating with other Okun tribes (there are 5). In essence, Okun is not a language but a group of 5 Yoruba dialects.

Armaggedon:
The barking slowpoke from obio akpor should now learn while licking his wounds from the sidelines.
No politician from the south south or Governor from Rivers state got the amount of free goodwill like wike got from the SE Igbos. He squandered it but also felt the people were cheap. look where he landed himself.

This one you guys are making noise, I see the OKOWA alignment as dead on arrival, Tinibu will win with ease, as for wike, he was right, only three states decides wo be the president of Nigeria, Lagos Rivers and Kano
The house just approved over 120 billion for Okuwa to take as Delta state Loan, so there you go, reason he got the ticket

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.

This is the first time I'll like an igbo comment on politics. Unbelievable. And that's because your point is objective, reasonable and fair. If igbos could support Osinbajo, then it stands to reason that igbos are behind Obi not because he's igbo but because he "possesses" the qualities you mentioned... real or imagined.

lol now delta is now part of igbo cause you want votes if igbos say they want biafra you would tell them delta is not part of igbo mr man just carry you and your state people away from here igbos would not vote for pdp

Dr Okowa you have spoken well..


Anyone that doubts your Igbo roots can also doubt if they breathe in Oxygen...

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.

You are very objective.

That's why I usually tell people that the reason I'm supporting Obi is not because he is Igbo but because he's the best among the three top guys.

I'm a South Southerner and that doesn't mean much to me when it comes to supporting a presidential aspirant of Nigeria.

In 2015, I supported Buhari because the PDP government was very corrupt and wicked. We thought Buhari would help but he failed massively. In 2019, I shifted my support to Atiku because he was better than Buhari.

Today, we have a choice to choose between PO, AA, and BAT and there's no way I can support BAT or AA and ignore PO when he's far better than them.

I don't do tribal politics because it doesn't make sense to me.

Anyone that feels PO isn't a good choice for Nigeria at this time doesn't deserve a better life. It's very clear that BAT/AA is going to be another Buhari presidency.

May God help Nigeria because the forces of evil against her seem to be greater than the forces of good.

Igbo man stop masquerading,I'm from owa-oyibu.The person you are referring to is was not the founder of owa-alero,his real name according to elders and onuika is edogun which later was igbonise to odogwu,he was from ute-okpu clan and met adagba ni ikoha of present owa-ofien,Adagba was already the odionwere of owa-ofien.......His lineage are the present day holder of the hereditary title of Olihe-ovia of Owa kingdom....


Before you say anything becareful Stop writing rubbish,owa-alero was even founded by a man from Benin so be careful,Okowa ancestors were Benins,he should be careful, anyway make he dey play ludo with Igbos head,we Ikas know him too deep......

Someone said it's a contraction of "Oke-Owa".

EleventhWeirdo:


They might have a case tho. It's human nature to always crave the better side of life. There is a motive here for both sides - resource ownership. During the Eastern region days, most of the ethnic groups in there were submerged under the Igbo identity, and that denied the oil-rich sub-groups the advantage of claiming indigenous royalties like many groups now do under various Niger-Delta ethnic umbrellas. Gowon gave them autonomy by creating an exclusive oil-resourceful Rivers, separate from the landlocked East Central State for Igbos. You don't expect them to willingly give up that autonomous identity laced with exclusive economic privileges for some ethnic affiliation hogwash, do you?

Secondly, some of these so called Igbo-affiliated tribes are equally affiliated to such other ethnic groups as the Yoruba, Bini, Ijaw, Igala, and so on. For instance the Olukumi of Delta State have Igbo names, but they have Yoruba origins. Telling them they are Igbo because of their names, would be an insult to their original sensibilities; in the same vein, you won't see Yoruba openly claiming them because we understand their new-found diversity which is acceptable as a the sub-group autonomy under the larger Yoruba reality. But you guys, especially, the map-drawing IPOB folks are always assertive, rather than being diplomatic, in their approaches, and this make those already fragile and vulnerable "new peoples" to mistake them for colonist landgrabbers

I am Yoruba, btw. Most of my people no send una as they would think Nigeria is basically a union of Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa. Recently, however, identities like Fulani and Efik (Calabar folks) have broken the bias and forced to be recognized separately by us.

Loves to all Yoruba-affiliated groups outside of the SW, such as the Okun, Itsekiri, Igbomina, Olukumi, Popo and Sabe (Benin Republic), Ewe (Ghana), and Ife Togo (Togo). I can only pray that we build a strong and prosperous Orile Ede Odua that you guys would be proud to associate with, and like Israel, we will be proud to grant you all rights of return to the motherland

keep quiet! Olukwumi people are majorly Igbo people inter missed with I gala,esan and owo people.
The traditional head of olukwumi is called obi. And the town is called ukwu nzu.

Ifeanyi Okowa is Ika which is just like Ikwerre and Ukwuani. They are Igbo dialects like Ngwa, Owerri, Ohaji, Nsukka, Onitsha, Mbaise, etc. The South East is the geopolitical area that is clamoring for the presidency though.

Sufferingboy:
It's so painful,Igbos never learn.The JuJu wey PDP use enslave Igbo people them throw inside river.....

Instead of you to vote Peter Obi and use it as a negotiating power in the future,after all you and I know he will not will.

And to be sincere,Atiku can not stand tinubu.

Ika people should not even be over excited because if Okowa can betray the south as a governor,what will he do as a VP?

Fake IKA boy. Okowa has said he is an Igbo, what will you poor rat do about it? Nothing. Just go and report him to obi of owa who has always said his ancestors are from NRI kingdom or to the obi of agbor who said his ancestors are from Benin kingdom.

We need to be friends offline cos we share the same perspective. Actually, you spoke my mind. Exactly what I was trying to explain to someone today though you explained it in a better way. I was telling this person that there's nothing called tribalism. That tribalism is an illusion..an imaginary concept. God forbids I reject my own and support another tribe. Doesn't make good sense.

Edogun only tricked adagba to unite the people he met in owa-oyibu and Owa-ofien and stole the crown,but he was wasn't the founder of Owa alero like that Igbo claimed above.

Descendants of adagba are still alive in owa-ofien village,they are the real owners of Owa(olihe-ovia),that is why in Owa we say Owa ni adagba ni ikoha, because adagba was from ikoha village in Ovia area of Benin,Owa did not start from this children of edogun (including the current Obi efeziormor) Owa existed before they stole they came and stole the crown from adagba.

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.

Wrong, we are an ethnic group of our own with different dialect,if you Igbos want to vote Okowa fine,you should a concrete reason for doing that, however don't think because Okowa claim he's Igbo them Ika are Igbo,Okowa is a politician that is desperate and do anything for vote...

Igbos should stop being emotional,Una nor go ever learn....

DrAkpamudehe:


Ika people originated from nri in Anambra state

not all! Owa people and Igbodo migrated from NRI. While agbor people were majorly kidnapped slaves who were ruled by a run away prince from Benin kingdom who married their daughter and ruled over them.
Obi of agbor and obi of owa are not in good terms till date because the latter always claim his NRI origin.

Agbo not Igbo

Agbo is now a tribe?
He is an Igbo by ethnicity whether you like it or not

Travel to Agbor or Abavo and other Ika towns.

Then go for towns meeting and call urself Igbo and see what they will do to you!

Leave that mumu, Maternally my maternal ancestors who came from ugboha(esan people) founded Idumesah clan.my mom is from iliobome and my maternal great grand father was okpara-ukwu of Idumesah during his time.

My paternal great grandfather was also an Idumesah man who resettled with owa-oyibu people,and they will more into spiritualism like a family thing,priesthood runs in my partner family side,many were priest to different deities.
