Kennydoc: The second question: Are Anioma people Igbos? There have been several debates about the true origin of the Anioma people and the language they speak. There is a strong belief that the Anioma people are Igbos and that they speak Igbo language. To keep the record straight, the Anioma people are not Igbos and they do not speak Igbo language. The Anioma people speak, "Enuani, Ika and Ukwuani languages". We are proud of our identity; our identity is our pride, strength and unifying factor. Our Anioma attire (Akwa Anioma) is recognized anywhere in the world. There may be similarities in some Anioma and Igbo names: such as Chukwuma, Chukwuka, Chukwudi, Ngozi, Udoka, among other names that have the same spellings, pronunciations and meanings like that of the Igbos but, the fact remains that we are not Igbos. We may also have some similarities in language that does not make us Igbo people. The Aniocha and Oshimili though are closer to the Anambra people cannot be referred to as Igbo people. The same could be said of Owa people in Ika North East Local Government whose ancestral home is believed to be Nri, in Anambra State. The Ndokwa and Ukwuani areas are a mix of different peoples, some with a strong claim to Benin ancestry while others claim to different origin. The Abohs and some clans in the region claimed to have left Benin in the 16th century or earlier in the same wave of migration that established most of the Igbo speaking towns West of the Niger and even Onitcha in the East. Some sections of the Abohs believed that they are direct descendants of people from Benin while others look across the Niger into the Igbo hinterland as their origin, yet some even look far up the Niger, Igala as their ancestral home. The founder of Abbi, in Ndokwa West Local Government for instance, Amaha, the elders of Abbi are not sure of the location of his town but, it is believed to be in Eastern Nigeria. The Dein of Agbor Kingdom, His Royal Majesty Dr. Benjamin Ikenchuku Keagborekuzi I, in one of his recent meetings with his subjects at his palace called on them to stop promoting Igbo culture. He further advised that the Igbo red cap should also be dropped as it is not a native cap for Agbor Kingdom. The revered monarch's statement clearly gave credence to the fact that the Agbor people share the same ancestral history with the Benin people and not the Igbo people. The third question: How do we promote and sustain our rich, diverse and unique cultural heritage? We are proud of our heritage, history and background. We are unique people in the world. We should encourage those things that will help promote us culturally and also, cement our unity. We should learn how to project Anioma in whatever we do. The names of our children should always reflect our Anioma identity. Our Anioma traditional rulers should give more relevance to our festivals. The histories of the various Kingdoms in Anioma should be taught in schools. Above all, as Anioma people we should not allow our language to go into extinction. We should be teaching our children how to speak our native language in our various homes. Anioma is our land, our strength, our pride and center of unity. We should therefore, imbibe the character of showcasing and promoting the Anioma course anywhere we are in the world. In promoting Anioma course, we should respect one another. There is strength in unity, as the saying goes; “united we stand, divided we fall”. We should not discriminate or quarrel among ourselves as we project this great course of Anioma nation. The Aniocha/ Oshimili man, the Ndokwa/Ukwuani man, and the Ika man, should see themselves as one. It is only when we work in one accord and in synergy that we will be able to achieve maximum result. Anioma is our home, we have no other place, hence, it is very necessary for us to stay united and build it to an enviable height. A height where even development could easily be achieved and a height where investors will be willing and ready to invest without any fear of insecurity. In conclusion, we are Anioma people not Igbo people. We should be proud of our cultural heritage and background. I must say a big thank you to the National President and the entire members of Anioma Association, USA for the selfless works you are doing to move Anioma nation forward. I call on all Anioma sons and daughters in the United States of America to identify with this association for the overall benefit of all Anioma people. I am also using this medium to appeal to other Anioma associations or groups in Europe, Asia, South America and Africa to join efforts with Anioma Association, USA to build a better Anioma nation that we all will be proud of. Finally, please let us have a standing ovation for the Executive Governor of Delta State, His Excellency Senator (Dr.) Ifeanye Okowa for the good work he is doing in pushing Delta State forward in terms of infrastructural development and say welcome to Chicago, Illinois. Once again thank you all and God bless. Dr. Chukwuma O. Nwaonicha. |

Juliusmalema: Oga, you can't speak for all Anioma people. Like I pointed out earlier, Ika and Ukwuani all believe they are not Igbos. Their language is not even typically Igbo, but more like a hybrid of Igbo and Edo. Aniocha people mostly claim they are not Igbos, especially the parts of Aniocha close to Ika. In Oshimili, a good number of the people accept they are Igbos. It depends on the part of Anioma one is from. As I said before, Anioma is not the name of a tribe. It's a term for a related people group that have similar language (like Igbo Language) living close together in Delta State. 1 Like |

Juliusmalema: You can see the efforts exerted at uniting people with different origins into a pseudo-ethnicity that cannot work. This article clearly identified that some of the Anioma people are from Igbo land originally. How do you want them not to connect to their Igbo origin? The truth is that most of the Deltan communities close to the Niger migrated from the East of the Niger. They have Igbo roots, they have Igbo blood, and you cannot deny them their Igboness. |

It's kind of sad that the Anioma people allow themselves most especially their elder to fall into the divide and rule system where they are being told that they are not Igbos. There is a british colonial officer in the 40s classed the igbos into three areas based on their locations. The coastal igbos(The ikwerre, Andoni and Aro-Ikwerre), The south central( Onitsha, Afikpo, Arochukwu, Owerri etc) and the Midwestern Igbos( Kwale, Agbor, Anioma). All this hullabaloo is a fall out of the Biafra war, and the sad path is that we are still seeing the after effects today. My father told me that places in Portharcourt like Oyigbo, Rumuokoro, Rumuokwuta and co were known by their Ibo names Obigbo, Umuokoro, Umuokwuta etc. Even Portharcourt was originally an igbo farm settlement known as Igweocha. The Coup by Nzeogwu was a very big mistake because it set about the chain of events that allowed us the north to fully cement their hold onto power in this country. There was time people from Agbor down to Asaba were known as Midwestern Igbo. Even the former name for the the Dein of Agbor was called Obi of Agbor, and the funny part is that most elders now alter history just to prove that they are not Igbos. It is high time all Igbos unite we are all igbo irrespective of your dialect where you come from( Niger delta, SS or SE) 1 Like |

The generation of Buhari were in charge when the bigotry and hate developed into lawlessness and violence with militias and Boko haram. I cant imagine what this younger generation can do if they also inherit the hate |
