Seunpaul01:I did, hence my initial reply. What you seem to view has some sort if achievement had nothing to do with you and everything to do with your colonial masters. Let me break it down....it's not remarkable that your language is spoken in 2 neighbouring countries as Benin could have been part of Nigeria or SW Nigeria part of Benin, depending on how the sharers chose. Same way some south eastern states could have been part of Cameroon if Britain and France, mainly, so decided. What might have been remarkable is if you had non-recent migrant, native speakers of your language further afield. 1 Like |

HopeAtHand:i sincerely doubt you're an ikwerre youth, Duncan mighty always declare himself as an ikwerre igbo, i did youth service with ikwerre boys and they did the prayer of the faithful (ekpere ndi kwerenu) in ikwerre dialect and nobody complained. it's normal if you don't feel like igbo, it's your right but nobody insulted rotimi amaechi for claiming igbo while accusing Jonathan of been non igbo and challenging him to speak the language. you would achieve nothing from derailing this thread. I'm pleading with you 6 Likes 2 Shares |

[quote author=HopeAtHand post=33031643] I dnt need you to tell me what my ancestors passed down my lineage. Theres absolutely no Igbophobia anywhere. All we want is fot the Igbos to learn to respect the collective will of a people and the constitution of Nigeria which recognises same. It is really disheartening to see Igbos so willfully turn truth on its head and deceive Nigerians with such falsehood as Ikwerres being Igbos. It is a unacceptable and is clearly a total show of shame.[/quote Personally I do not wish to be identified with you or anyone like you or your kinds. But I have this to say. If you speak Igbo as your local or mother tongue then you're Igbo. If your culture is Igbo culture then you're Igbo. It is a huge disgrace to yourself and your kind to speak igbo language bear igbo names and practice igbo culture only to come out in the end and say your ancestors are from Kanuri. not like I care but it doesn't add up to sense. 1 Like |

ideykwum: The Itsekiris who are my neighbor do understand Yoruba and does that make them Yorubas? Are you learned at all? We share boundaries with the Isokos, Urhobos, Itshekiris, and the Aniocha people. Do you know how many tribes you will jump before you get to asaba who share boundary with the Igbos. Guess you are the fool here. In the old Nigerian map, where was Bendel located? Guess you don't know that as well. It was located under Western Nigeria. Go read your history book (that's if you do have one). I'm not Igbo, but my language is Igboid. Go get the meaning of igbo and igboid. 2 Likes |

Bants: This is Igbo and not Yoruba or some other language. We don't classify Igbo based on some 'yoruba standards'. If you must know, oduduwa in Igbo means 'leader of the world, and 'obatala' also means 'he has entered' in Igbo. Now change your spellings in Yoruba to avoid confusion, please. Thank you. |

BabaO2:I am in my late twenties and we always had an Igbo Bible right from when I was a kid. Problem with Nigeria is that we rarely travel to other places or even bother to learn about them so we make so many false assumptions. You really don't realise how big and diverse this country is.firstly, this is not a counter but another educative piece ( maybe not complete) just like that of yoruba,for us to learn.looking forward to seeing same for other languages.Nigeria will be better, if we begin seeing things this way.thanks 1 Like |

ideykwum: As idiotic as you are. Did I mention in this thread that I'm Yoruba? We are distinctive ethnic clan and you cannot add us to your formula. Our language was influenced by Igbo language doesn't make us Igbo. Is Benin Republic Youruba? Cos the speak Youruba there also... Are the French? Cos the speak french also... Fvcktard... Guess I'm wasting my time explaining and educating you on how to respect a tribe and not to marginalized them into your tribe. |
