Rgade: Mr Avuru is Ukwuani. Some misguided people in Delta North think they are Igbos because it is easier to ally with a major tribe but they are misguided, they are not Igbos. Ukwuani is a gazzetted language and is recognized by the Federal Government as an entirely different ethnic group from Igbo. By the way, all that is neither here nor there and a big shame to all the Igbos (and Yorubas) who try to live vicariously on the deeds of their kinsmen. Instead of watering at the mouth when you hear an Igbo person achieved something, why not achieve something for yourself? |

Some years back, there was this report of Shell planning to build a giant gas plant in Egbema (i think it was Egbema). The MD of the coy then visited Rochas in Owerri at the time. Is it still in the pipeline, or has it been cancelled? |

Xander85: Lands in IMO and Abia were given to Rivers state. Etchie, egbema, obigbo etc, look at egbema ohaji is in IMO while another part of egbema is in Rivers state. And egbema people are Igbo's. One of my closest friend is from egbema and he explained all these things. The plight of Igbo man in Nigeria, is like the plight of Israel when they were in Egypt. A point came the Egyptians expected the Jews to provide raw materials and produce the bricks at the same time. But when God remembered His people Israel in Egypt, Israel plundered Egypt when they were leaving. God told Moses to instruct the children of Israel to demand gold from Egyptians and through that means they plundered Egypt. I remember listening to one Bishop T D Jakes message on this Israel ordeal in Egypt, he said, Israel got her reward for the 400years they served Egypt when they were leaving by demanding for gold. He said it was the sweat of Israel's 400years slavery. The same way justice and equity is trampled under in Nigeria, but God in heaven knows how to give everyone His reward. If you marginalize, God knows how to balance the score. 8 Likes |

Rgade: Not at all. In Delta North, there are three Igboid groups. Of these, only one group, the aniocha/oshimili are igbo. The Ika people and the Ukwuani people are not Igbo, though there are strong similarities with igbo group, hence the term, Igboid. Unlike the Aniocha people, Ukwuani people share borders with Isoko and Urhobo people and also have a lot of Edo influence. They also speak a language that is not very intelligible to Igbo people.

aniomafirstson: Bitter souls can change the history of Anioma people Anioma people are Igbo people located primarily in Delta State, Nigeria. They are referred to as Western Igbo, being separated from the Igbo in the east by the River Niger. They make up about one-third of Delta State and, for administrative purposes, are referred to as “Delta North,” thus contrasting Delta Central and Delta South, areas densely inhabited by the Urhobo, Isoko, Ijaw, and Itsekiri, the other ethnic groups inhabiting Delta State. The Anioma region has a total population of 1,114,055, not including those Anioma communities located outside of Delta State. The Anioma populace make up small numbers in neighbouring Edo State, specifically in Igbanke, Ozo and Ekpon. The term “Anioma” means "good land" in Igbo language and coincidentally, it is an acronym derived from the four original local government areas that make up Anioma, i.e., (A) for Aniocha, (N) for Ndokwa, (I) for Ika and (O) for Oshimili, M and A being common denominators found in the original four local government areas. 6 Likes |

aniomafirstson: Who are your people? I just passed Abbi now, on the way to Emu-Uno (if you even know where that is). People around here understand more Isoko than even Igbo. They are Ukwuanis not Igbos. I already mentioned the names of two well known Abbi people and neither of them would consider themselves Igbo. Perhaps you are from asaba, in which case you would be right in calling yourself Igbo. Thanks. 1 Like |

einsteine:In year one of my university days, an Ndokwa classmate and a close friend almost beat up our Igbo lecturer, one young overzealous spinster who had just gotten the job, for asking him why he couldn't read an Igbo sentence that he was asked to read. He was vibrating angrily and it took the whole department to rescue the lecturer from his venom. If only the lecturer had listened to him when he told her initially that he wasn't Igbo.

djon78: While quoting the scripture and saying God this and God that, we should remember that freedom is not free and has NEVER been free. Freedom often involves some type of struggle. Therefore, those talking freedom and dreaming for God to do the hard work of struggling for them should wake up! We must FIGHT for our freedom. How we do it, when we do it and where we do it will be a mark of our genius. But to do it, WE MUST! Above all, if we resolve for an armed struggle someday, it MUST be totally an offensive armed struggle and NOT a defensive struggle as was the case of Biafra. You must capture your enemy's territory and capital to defeat him. You don't wait in the bush around your village hoping to win a struggle. 2 Likes |

OreMI22: And you want to fight war in this present world ![]() Igbo's have inexhaustible availability of vast human resources, not just in Nigeria but around the world. even Nigeria understands our potential. But we do have a big weakness?? Ability in Harnessing this vast human resources. Channeling it for purposeful benefits. I don't even believe we separate from Nigeria, want we are even saying is justice, equity, making Nigeria work for everyone. We should first start having visionary leaders/governors with vision to overhaul the economy of South East. Oils economic prowess will be gone in the coming decade, we need to start working towards that. I don't want to start writing long epistle, but the path to development is plain. The news we ate discussing here is one of them. Developing gas reserves is a visionary move because gas is the future of energy. I quoted in my subsequent contributions that chevron recently acquired a big North America oil company for $50billion because there major priority is now gas and the company they acquired had huge gas assets. Chevron are already positioning themselves for the future. Seplat taking this initiative is a very good move and will benefit South East economy and Nigeria inclusive. Ivheard that Nestoil Ernest Azudislu is also developing huge gas assets towards Anambara. These are men that have eyes on the future, So our focus should be deep, economic development for our region. Not war. 2 Likes |

djon78: Oga, War is not fun and no civilized person will ever ask for it, not the least Biafrans. However, a time will come that even the Biafrans will have no other choice left but to fight for their freedom. Mark my words. The people with wisdom trying to avoid such a time when frustration will blow up in violence have been clamoring for restructuring, you know that it is dead on arrival in the minds of those who will not give up their right to enjoy other peoples resources and enslave them. You spoke about "economic emancipation" as if a slave can have freedom to pursue economic emancipation. I am sorry if i offended you for being blunt, but what is true is true. You WILL NOT be allowed to have neither economic emancipation nor political emancipation by those who believe Nigeria belongs to them and you are a defeated war bounty. War is never a choice of civilized men. But sometimes they are left with no other choice when war is thrust upon them. The British & French fervently avoided war with Hitler and so did the Russians and so did the Chinese try to avoid war with Japan. In the end, their territories were invaded and their dignity violated that they had no choice left than fight back. The Fulani herdsmen and the way the people who believe they own Nigeria operate will eventually twist everyone's arm and present you with a choice of slavery or fight for your freedom to exist as a free man. 3 Likes 1 Share |
