That is Ibo logic

First of who is Ibo
How is that defined?
Was there ever a country called Ibo ?

Ibo is a creation of the British and Nigeria
Before Nigeria there was never a single group known as Ibo

That is the reality
Ngwa people never called themselves Ibos and actively denied being Ibos for decades
Aros DEFINITELY did not see themselves as Ibos and for verylong their main business was hunting and selling Ibos as slaves

Just like most Fulanis in Nigeria cannot speak Fulani and only speak Hausa

Hausa language does not make them Hausa


Hausa language is a lingua franca in Northern Nigeria
Just like English is lingua franca in Nigeria,the USA and Arabic language is in so many countries


You're mistaking Igbo for Ibo, we are talking of Igbo. If you can't pronounce it well, are you also finding it difficult to write it well?

How can British who can't pronounce Igbo tag us Igbo?

That is the reality

Your post is full of contradictions. Ngwa was selling Igbo people as slaves when the British never created Igbo first. who were the people calling themselves or see themselves as Igbo then?

Just like most Fulanis in Nigeria cannot speak Fulani and only speak Hausa



Fulani is a distinct ethnic group from Hausa, that's why they don't speak Hausa, they have their own language, they came all the way from Futajalon, they are not Hausa or related,

Igbo never colonized anyone. All Igbo groups speak Igbo dialects.

Igbo is also the umbrella/mother ethnic group that covers large Dark skinned Africans between West and Central Africa. Including minority groups in Central African countries like Southern Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea etc. Igbo is their mother ethnic group. If an Ibibio man do his ancestry test in USA for eg, he/she will be told that he/she have so so so % of Igbo ancestry and so so so % of Central African ancestry.

Igbo is a major group in West Africa and is the largest Christan group in Africa.

What they mean is that the Ngwa is not even part of South East but an extension of Ikwerre. All other Igbo areas are south East

If Ngwa and Etche are sons of Ikwerre, then by extension those areas are Ikwerre and not the other way round


What is South East?
South East of what?

Ibo is the English spelling of Igbo.

If you say the British created something and named it with another language they can't pronounce it's a silly statement.

I busted your lies and you said my post are irrelevant.

I'm telling you the ground that Igbo holds in sub- Sahara Africa and you're talking nonsense. The ground is religiously homogeneous.
Religion will count when the time comes,

So this thread don reach 18 pages. grin

Na wah oh. undecided

The quest by Igbo haters on this forum (who it turns out are mainly Yoruba and APC members for some funny reason) to shrink Igbo territory and ensure we have no outlet to the sea is what drives this thread and similar threads to many pages and run for days!

I have warned naive and trusting Igbo that Ndigbo can NEVER be safe, secure and have the freedom to develop at our own pace using our own resources for so long as we continue sharing the same country with certain people! Let’s keep on burying our heads in the sand and pretend we’re not sharing the same country with truly malevolent and wicked people who don’t wish us well!

When did Ikwere people attach themselves to you ?

You are confusing Ikwere for the ever confused Asaba people who will claim SS in the morning and be claiming Biafra in the evening.

Why did Ohaneze slate last year's Ibo day in
PH but will later move it to Owerri after massive protest by Ikwere leaders?

You are the ones dragging them and not them dragging you

Born liars

They're the one attaching themselves to Igbos.
If I'm ijaw and i give myself names (all my names) Yoruba, understands and speak Yoruba fluently. Is it the Yorubas that are attaching themselves to me or Am i the one
attaching myself to Yorubas.
Just as Africans are now leaving their language and culture to to study English (European) language, to sound English, to behave like English and to look like whites. Will we be blaming or accusing England of attaching themselves to us? Or are we not the ones forcing ourselves to be like them,,, speaking their language, bearing their names, culture.

I like this.
Imagine running just because of war to where is their proper and rightful land and left this who are the real owners to die and after the war they intend to return to claim what is not theirs......

The igbos apart from the fulani's are the only tribe trying to claim other peoples land even in this age of technology.

Ikwerre land has never been an igboland. Just as aba land is never an Owerri land, ohafia can never be umuahia people's land.
If there is war in Nigeria now, onicha people living in Owerri will run back to their villages, Owerri people living aba will run back to their villages, ogoni people living ikwerre will run back to their villages.
Even the next village to my village can't take our land or farm in our village land despite being brothers.

This is exactly what Giannis Adetokunbo's mother did! She taught all her Yoruba children Igbo language and change their mentality and worldviews to that of Igbo! That's exactly what the GRV's mother has successfully done. She brainwashed that fool to the extent that he hates himself - his own identity and heritage! The fool claims he doesn't even think in Yoruba;what a shame! It is the same thing Mrs Akeredolu of Ondo State is trying to do with
her children.


Given what we know about these Igbo women,I believe this your faction of the story. I think it's authentic. Ikwerres are not Igbo;they are a distinct ethnic group different from Igbo. Why won't I believe so when majority of these Igbo are already claiming and celebrating Giannis Adetokunbo,the Basketballer,as an Igbo man! Truly,Igbo people's attache by force is quite appalling.
So it was Igbo that changed their king's from bearing Oba to Eze,
Their deities as amadi, also changed binin calling of God as Chi or chukwu grin grin grin.. you guys are really dull
