fowlyansh181: She doesn't sleep with the woman. It's an igbo culture. A woman can marry another woman and she's free to sleep with any man she desires to get pregnant. The woman who married her is responsible for the children as the children belongs to her. 1 Like |

About 2hrs ago,i just discussed the same issue with a very handsome young man named Ebuka Olise(very sorry to disclose your name if you are reading this) from Oshimili LGA and he said ,even HE is not an Igboman! The Elder Stateman, Philips Asiodu at the peak of the IPOB crisis berated Nnamdi Kanu for including Asaba in his Biafra and he said on AIT that he is not Igbo. I you read the interview very well, you will see that the Priest-monarch also alluded to the diversity of their origin. So there are indeed, several families from all these LGAs that reject the Igbo identity. They can chose to call themselves whatever they like. selemempe: 3 Likes 2 Shares |

God has everything to do with it. I think you are wrongly assuming that God is ONLY for imported religions like Christianity and Islam? Our Traditional religions know and acknowledge the existence of God, which they worship in their own ways. TriggahMan: 3 Likes 2 Shares |

They bear Yoruba names too. Many Okukumis are now teaching their children their mother tongues instead of only conversing in Igbo. Their King is Oloza (Oloja) Ayo Isinyemeje olisaokere: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

You don't seems to understand my point; 1) The Anioma People should determine who they are and NOT other people determining who they are. 2) They can decide to be a different ethnic group (which appears to be the prevailing identity) or they can declare to be part of the Igbo people if they want (some Anioma actually call themselves Igbo). nextdoor84: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

What you believe or don't believe is your OPINION and not necessarily the reality. Up till today some people still deny that there's nothing like HIV/AIDS but the reality is that millions of people are living with the HIV virus and many have died of HIV infection. Lovelyn451: 4 Likes 2 Shares |

You can call yourself whatever you fancy but that won't make you an ethnic group. 1) All ethnic groups emerge slowly overtime from previously existing ethnic groups. 2) Ethnic groups can be a fusion of two or more ethnic groups and example abound all over the World. E.g Liechtenstein People= French+German +Italian Aja People in Benin republic= Yoruba +Fon Ogori-Mangogo in Kogi State= Yoruba +Nupe+ Ebira. Anioma= Igbo +Bini+Igala+ Ishan +Yoruba Itshekiri= Yoruba+Bini+ Europeans. FULANI= Berbers+Arabs + Madinka+ Malians ![]() selemempe: 1 Like |

You just publicly display your ignorance of the subject matter and understanding of the Geography of Nigeria. Ondo State has no common border with the Heart of the Anioma. The part of Delta State that share border with Ondo State is Delta South senatorial district NOT Delta North. The Okukumis are not settlers on their own Land. PrecisionFx: 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Many young Igbo guys wrongly assume they know every ethnic group WELL and they somehow become irritated whenever any group perceived to be Igbo reject the Igbo tag. It's a great fallacy to assume that anyone perceived to be Igbo must embrace and be proud of their 'Igboness' Give allowance for those that don't want to be part of you and identify those that are with you! 1) Olukumi is an Old Yoruba word for MY FRIEND. Up til today, in Ile-Ife, Some parts of Ijesha, Ekiti and Ondo States, the Old People still refer to their friends as Oluku. 2) Ugbodu is the Capital/Head-quaters of Olukumi clan. It was derived from the Yoruba statement; Ugbo du mi la = The Forest saved me to prosper. Eastlink: 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Why resorting to insults? That's unbecoming of a well brought up lady( I used to take you to be). You can NOT carve out a territory from a State and add it to another State except they share a common border. E.g You can NOT say Onitsha was probably carved out of Ijawland in Delta or Rivers States since in between Onitsha and the nearest Ijaw settlements, there are several Igbo towns in between.

It's most unfortunate that Colonialism happened to Africans the way it did. In the distant part, like 1000years ago, almost all of Southern Nigeria were ONE People. 1) If you start from Ile-Ife in the West and you travel eastwards, you will notice that the languages keep metamorphosing untill it becomes Igbo in Onitsha, just on the Eastern banks of the River Niger. We share many similarities than the Tribaliststs are aware. Yorubas are in the Western end of the spectrum with Bini, Urhobo, Itshekiri, Igala, Ishan in between and Igbo is the Eastern end of the spectrum. 2) For Instance, Orisha (Yoruba)= Oritse(Itsekiri)= Osaa (Bini)= Olise (Ika)= Olisa (Igbo)= Deity Omo(Yoruba)= Oma (Igala)=Omo (Bini)= Umu(Igbo)= Child. Asee(Yoruba)= Isee(Bini) =Isee( Igbo)= Amen Okoro(Igbo)= Okunrin (Yoruba)= Man Okorocha(Igbo)= Okunrin pupa(Yoruba)= Light complexioned man. Dimkpa (Igbo)= Igiripa (Yoruba)= Fully grown man Oba(Yoruba)= Oba (Bini)= Obi (Ika)= King Okuta(Yoruba)= Okwuta(Bini)= Okwute( Igbo)= Stone. Enu (Yoruba)= Onu (Igbo)= Mouth olisaokere: 5 Likes 2 Shares |
