Nah... the whole world can now see that you the the one making a mockery of yourself. You have run out of sound facts to add to the discussion at hand, and you have now chosen to take refuge in deceit and falsehood, by trying to pin someone else's identity on me. Sorry, you failed. It just isn't working.

There is no need to throw a childish tantrum by calling me names, or claiming that Laudate is AkinEgba. But then, your IQ isn't well developed to be able to distinguish the difference.

Sorry, I can't help you with your obsession with this so-called AkinEgba. Continue calling his name because you are his desperate lover.

Goodnight.

I am trying so hard to stop laughing at this post. I know lots of kids with full-fledged Nigerian parents that speak English alone. Does that mean that they are now English men?

laudate:


Oga, abeg go back to school, o! How can you say 97% of some people from Delta, Isoko, Urhobo...people from Kogi etc., are Igbo?? This is blasphemy of the highest order!! In fact, it is heresy.

Who are the 'some people,' you are referring to? Why can't you be explicit? I don't know about Akwa Ibom, so I will not say anything about them.

laudate:


May God bless you 10,000 times on Sundays and every other day for this post! See as some people want to attach themselves by force, to another ethnic group, o! Ok we are watching in 3D. Wey my mat, sef? Na on top this thread, I wan siddon today...hehehe!


The money spent on your education was NOT wasted!. I beg, take five!


I no know say you sef see am!

VomeSchakleton:


Igbiras and some idomas certainly look like igbos though. Genetically and linguistically speaking your languages are very close. Ive always maintained most middlebeltan and southern tribes share a similar ancestry.

Eddiecute86:


I can categorically deduced from most of your posts that you often use this statement " People have the right to decide where they want to belong irrespective of language or cultural similarities with anyone " as a shield of which you are not far from the truth.

Howbeit, such circumstances of which we both know are politically motivated and can never last.

Speaking of the anioma issue , dont even venture there, igbos don't argue that Aniomas are igbo we all know they are Proudly Igbo... you can verify yourself from their fb page PROUDLY IGBO: PROUDLY ANIOMA......In addition the current eze ndigbo in Nigeria os from Anioma.... so case closed.

Pchidexy:


Trash! Igalas in Anambra state are Igalas but Igbos in Kogi state are not Igbos.

Clap for yourself.

Igboid:

Exactly, those communities who are bilingual in Igala and Igbo in Anambra and Enugu identify with the Igbo nation.
So you might as well take your own advice here.

I'd advise you stay off Anioma issue, as you know next to nothing about it. Uwaechue, an Anioma son was the immediate past president of Ohanaeze Ndiigbo, and you don't know about his identity more than him.

Igboid:


They never needed to conquer all of those groups. They only needed to conquer the largest of them all, the Hausas, and create a strong powerful Hausa core in North that sucked in the rest of the smaller tribes there to fall in.

Even at that. Those non Hausa groups speak Hausa only as a language of trade and socialization. They still have their own non Hausa languages and. Cultures.
I refuse to see how this applies to Igbo speaking communities, who also speak Igala.

Igboid:


I can ask you the same. Who made you a final say on the idea that any Igbo speaking town in Kogi is Igala but Igala speaking towns in Anambra and Enugu are not Igbos but Igalas?

laudate:


You have just spoilt some people's day. They have been holding calculators, trying to add up the new territories they will annex into their proposed republic and you just spoilt their fun. Chai!



Don't waste your breath. Even if 10 kings send a confirmation that their people are Igala, they would still refute it because they want to attach other ethnic groups by force, to their proposed republic.

Igboid:


You are not serious.

But hey! It's a free world, your are free to believe whatever you want.

If there are no Igbos in Kogi, them there are no Igalas in Enugu and Anambra. The Igala speaking people there are Igbos who got influenced by Igalas.

Igboid:


What facts to discuss again in this discussion?
Discussion had since ran its natural course when you walked him with your Afonjaic vituperation to make mockery of yourself.

Ette had since been established as an Idoma dominant town where the Igbos run a distant second and the violent Igala third.
Vanguard a national daily had supported this,?and an Ette native on nairaland corroborated it.



But nah, you want me to take the account of Igalas in Ette and those in Edo( Revolva) and Kogi( OmoIgala and iansweet) so that you can continue your Afonjaic masturbation.

Ofcourse I refused and here we are.

You had been peeping into this thread with your AkinEgba handle, but when you felt the Igala contingents were losing as they should, you logged in here with your laudate handle, with which you can claim unconcerned neutral party to prop up and cheer up the Igalas, any thing to get to Omo Ibos right?

Well, you ended up blowing your little cover, and now you are busted and "casted", your Afonja identity unmasked before the public . Then you resorted to wailing all over the thread talking about sound facts and falsehoods, when you AkinEgba are an epitome of falsehood with your chameleon laudate handle.

Get away you! You stink.

No traditional leader or group of people from Kogi have ever come out in public to claim that they are Igbos or Igbo speaking people just like we heard from those Benue Igbo people, but times without number, people from Anambra, Delta, Enugu and Edo have come out to boldly identify themselves as Igalas or Igala speaking people.
We have to hear from the horse's mouth! Not making baseless speculations of bigotry.

ianSweet:


Most of those communities i know have never identified themselves as Igbo people (in a public interview) they always adress themselves as Igala speakers, but they usually take pride in being from Enugu, Anambra or Delta states, some of them claim Kogi. I have seen a family who are originally from Nzam, Anambra state, but they sometimes claim Kogi state because they are Igala speaking.
There are so many published news articles we have seen where people from Anambra, Enugu and Delta states identified themselves as Igala speakers, that is where i stand.

Like i said, its not as if i care about where Anioma people choose to belong, just that we are not blind, i have seen on nairaland, facebook and even physically where some Aniomas reject being called Igbo especially Ika and Ndokwa people. Like one public figure Emeka Esogbue i follow his write up, he is from Anioma and he claims his people are not Igbos.
Whatever they decide is good for them and not really my problem. If i have the time, maybe i will embark on a research on the cause for this identity crisis among these people.

ianSweet:


How do u know they dont last? Yugoslavia broke up and all the independent slavic tribes are in peace today in the individual countries.
I have met some people from Anioma who deny igbo identity too. I think those people are facing a sort of identity crisis like Ilorin people.

Igboid:


There are Igbos in Kogi, Edo and Benue.

They are not Igalas, Edos or Idomas. They were simply influenced by these groups, and they still retained their Igbo nature.

There are no Igalas in Anambra or Enugu. Those you call Igalas there are fast assimilating into Igbo language of their accommodating Igbo aboriginals.

Thank you.

ianSweet:


Dont make it look like Ette is the only Igala speaking town in Kogi. Adani, Ojjor, Asaba, Igga and Ogurugu are also igala speaking towns in Enugu state and even their king has confirmed it.

And if u claim the Igala speakers are minority in the Ette town, how come the traditional titles and traditional rulers of the town are all Igalas and in Igala language? Explaim this for us.

Igboid:


Like I said before. The Igalas hijacked the royal stool of those towns, and succeeded in "Igalanizing" them.

Igboid:


Those communities had never identified themselves as members of Igala ethnic nationality. They just acknowledge their Igala ancestry and take pride in being part of the Igbo commonwealth.

Pchidexy:


Is Emeka Esogbue a normal human being? Here, you go again using one idiot to quantify a whole group of people.

Abegi. Shift!

ianSweet:


What do u mean by igalas hijacked the royal stools of those towns?
In this link below, the King who is an Igwe (title still in Igbo language) acknowledged his people as Igala speaking and descendants of Igalas. What else do u want to hear?
Read the link abeg, and hear from the Igwe's mouth himself

Igbo commonwealth? Like WTF! When did u guys establish your commonwealth of nations? U guys have really taken the tribal bigotry too far. I wish u guys speedy recovery.
Read this link below and see ur so called Igbo Igwe identifying his people as Igala speaking descendants of Igalas. I bet u know the people more than their king does.
