Joebie: I am Pro-Nigeria and an advocate of Unity. Just like I will not take some Igbo dialects dissociating themselves from the rest of the Igbo ethnic group I am also against the Secessionist moves by the Igbo ethnic group. Well, lets not derail this thread. Let's discuss football. 2 Likes |

There are arguments on Nairaland and Facebook where people 'reject' claims that they are part of larger ethnic groups. Most of us outside of these ethnic groups do not know the history behind their claims so we do not know if these claims have some historical proof or if they are emotional reactions to events that occurred in the past. For example I used to follow a lady on Facebook who used to say she is Ika and not Igbo and people would keep arguing over this, some other people would also make similar statements. A man once said he is Okun not Yoruba during one of these arguments, another said he's Ikwerre and not Igbo. In any case, my point is that these people have the right to associate with whoever/whatever makes them feel comfortable and you cannot blame 'outsiders' who come away believing that Ikas and Ikwerres are not Igbos. It is the same way I don't appreciate being called Hausa when I introduce myself to people. I know how annoying it is so I try not to do it to other people. I think Komekn is coming from a similar place. If people say they're from village A it's annoying and sometimes rude to insist they are from village B. 2 Likes 3 Shares |

Icon4s: This conversation will slowly devolve into something nasty and contentious which nairaland is rife with. It has always been simmering under the surface in many discussions and this is bringing it right into the open. Let's close this can of worms. Vicmo resignation should not kill this thread 1 Like |

Chrismario: Exactly what I was telling him.. Salah is currently having a fight with the Egyptian FA but he played and even scored in their last game. Ozil and Nainggolan retired from international football due to issue with their coaches and FA... Such things are quite common. Moses didn't say anything about an issue with the NFF and there's no evidence anywhere to suggest that there's one. Komekn just wanted to throw insults at the NFF as usual... This is d same man who has been telling us that the foreign born(queen boys precisely) are yet to play for us cus they haven't paid egunje to the NFF |

Icon4s: And to further prove his support, he said that he has spoken to some prominent citizens of Agbor and they all denied being Igbos. is his purpose for speaking to those prominent citizens simply to find out if they are lgbos? How can someone who claim to be connected to almost foreign born players and prominent citizens be bent to a tribal arguments on nairaland. Something must be wrong somewhere. 1 Like |

That’s it!!! Modified My paternal cousins claim they are from Village A because it was a village our grandpa founded after migrating from Village B. However, we still claim Village B. They are mad that we claim Village B. What nonsense?! We respect that you claim Village A, respect ours. True story. DrLikita12: |

DrLikita12: Very simple answer to that. Divide and rule. Separate Lagos from the South West Region and in 40years time see if an Isale-Eko man's children will not denounce being Yoruba. For instance, The Ikwerre's didn't know they were not Igbos until Rivers state was carved out of the Former Eastern Region. Nigeria should forever remain thankful to Gen. Yakubu Gowon. He was really a man of foresight. I finally rest my case. 1 Like |

Icon4s: I understand that because I am interested in history -I am a reader and history interests me so I know a little about Nigerian history, the history of what is today known as Portharcourt, etc. The problem is not everyone is interested in history and not everyone who is interested has access to resources that would be helpful in studying such things. As a result, outsiders are more likely to believe what 'natives' of a region say. I agree with you on Gowon. |

So who is guilty of dividing the people in the North? Why are many people still calling all of them Hausa? The whites in America still know their different origins in terms of European nationalities. It’s simple teach it as a subject so people will have the knowledge. However, they still have the right to claim whatever they want to claim. Icon4s: |

komekn:Nothing you said here justifies what you stated about "people from that part of the country" However, doesn't Moses have ties to that part of the country? Shouldn't the team be more wary of Moses who allegedly has some contact with Benin? Or does his being UK-bred make him unAfrican? The rest of your statement is laced with ignorance as well. Why do Africans always find the negative in their cultural and religious practices? So, because Senegalese players were practicing certain rituals that white people are exposed to, it is obviously juju and that is so bad? What is the difference between African Traditional Religion and the white man's Christianity? Why do black people look upon their own religious practices as evil and negative while the rituals done by the whites is not evil? The consecration of the body of Christ in the Catholic Church is a ritual, but nobody looks upon it as evil, the pouring of anointing oil on heads is a ritual, but nobody calls it 'diabolic', but an African man takes out some powder and a calabash and boom! He is diabolical. I am sorry for you people and this warped sense of thinking. It is one of the great reasons why the black man will forever remain in the shadows, because h has no sense of self and has adopted that his ways and his culture are evil and whatever the white man does must be right. 2 Likes |

True. Why is there so much confusion about people’s identity even in the North? Is there a conspiracy there as well? The problem is if we really want to be united we have to develop a genuine interest in others. These things need to be taken seriously in our schools. However, people have the right to identify with wherever they choose. DrLikita12: |

It’s mostly for political/economic reasons why people claim what they claim. Some out of cheer ignorance. Even among the Aniomas you would still find some who would claim they are not igbos. When/If Anioma state is created maybe they would need a referendum lol safarigirl: |
