They are now called Odiani and not Olukumi. They have been assimilated as Enu-ani Igbos.

Na so Igbos on Nairaland be

They said the hatred Minorities had for Awolowo made them leave the Western region, but they now claim Minorities love Awolowo.

So if Awolowo had the power of Lagos/ibadan media why did Midwest leave western region in the first place?

unbitchable:

Assimilation is not unnatural as their ancestry is never in doubt. Regardless of the environmental or cultural assimilation, they are bold enough to recognize and declare their Yoruba ancestry.

forgiveness:


They have started reformation.

In some cases, some radical reformers and revivalists changed the names given to them by their parents from Igbo to Olukumi. The climax of the restoration process of their linguistic ethos and identity was the christening of the incumbent Oloza with an Olukumi name, Ayo

[s][/s]Trash list.

Magrebes is the most populous tribe. Where did your Hausa get 78million. Where ijaw get 15million, who dash igbo 44million. Igbo is 34 million in population why Hausa and Yoruba are 43 and 40 million respectively.

The guy is a joke, he's talking about assimilation. Which kinda assimilation could be greater or more powerful than ancestry.

Wide mouth,you think that you're claim claim will undo statistics,gone are the days when you people cook liars and feed the gullible masses.Your game is up.

Will you keep quite.

Mention the country where there is no Yoruba.

Yoruba are indigenous to Nigeria, Togo, Benin, they are found in Ivory coast, Ghana, there are indigenous to Cuba, Brazil.

They are also found in many countries all over the world

This exactly was your antics when you had a government over the minorities during the regional era. You covetously imposed ibo names and language on them while converting their properties under the guise of influence. You changed the name of a people from Olukumi to Odiani just because they are among the majority ibo, which has always been your tool for oppressing the minorities. Do you think you can erode someone else's ancestry?, do you think the Olukumi are as daft?. Same for other groups of minorities which you have covetously claimed. Thankfully, the new media age is giving them the right leverage to expose your debauchery.

Angola and Congo = West Central = almost 4m exports combined.

Bight of Benin = 2.1m exports, Aja people (majority) 1.6m, Yoruba 0.45m.

Bight of Biafra = 1.46m exports, Igbo 1.2m, Ibibio/Efik/Ijaw = 0.25m.

Once again I furnish extra data for you if you are unable to source them by yourself.

Iamgrey5:
You are actually a phony guy

On one list the total number of slaves exported from bight of Biafra was 1.7 m

Yet on another list the total number exported was 1.4 million

It looks to me that you doctored some list.

Odiani were not imposed with Igbo names.
It happened naturally. They naturally wanted to be like their Enu-ani neighbors.

No one forced anything on them.

You know the first Igbo miss Nigeria, then Miss Helen Anyamelune, she was from Odiani and her victory in 1958 was celebrated by Igbo Union.

Leave them alone, they have fully assimilated. All of them. Only Ugbodu still have vestiges of Yoruba. The others like Ukwu nzu are 100% assimilated. Ugbodu will follow through in time.
It's only natural.
We have Igbos in Isoko who migrated from Mgbidi(Imo) and Awka (Anambra) to Isokoland. They have been fully Isokonized with just vestiges of Igbo in them. You don't see Ndiigbo crying over them?

Yorubas have Yorubanized the Edo people in Isua, Ipe, Epinmi in Akoko SE, and countless others.
Edo have Edonized Yorubas in Usen,and parts of Akoko Edo.

It's natural way of things, don't come here to demonize Ndiigbo.
We never forced the process on Odiani. They happily embraced us.

It's quite obvious

He allocated numbers for Yorubas and distorted data

For example, there was one data that he presented that put people taken from slave trade in the bright of Biafra at 1.7 and the other at 1.4

Nothing like Olukumi . That word is derogatory and outdated.
The new posh word now is Odiani.

Ndo.

What's the difference between ibo and the fulani that they love to hate. Crazy as it might sound, fulani only claim land, not people who share no ancestry with them. Shamefully, ibos claim both land and people. Lol.

Odiani are fully Enu-ani, Anioma and Igbo.
They acknowledge their migrations from Owo. But they have mixed and assimilated into Enuani and have evolved a distinct identity of their own, called ODIANI.

The Minorities already poisoned with toxic Igbophobia of Lagos/Ibadan express way media propaganda all voted for mostly Awolowo or Shagari to some extent.
Zik had just Igbos votes.

Additionally, election results in Nigeria are about as useless in determing ethnic census because of the usual irregularities that take place.

pazienza:


Igbos never built empires to invade, kill and take other people land, like Fulanis and Yorubas did.
Our land was open for endless hordes of refugees Oyo, Bini, and Igala refugees running away from tyrant monarchs there. Thats why we have many stories of people migrating from those parts Into Igboland. But if you migrate into our land, you would have to assimilate and become Igbo speaking and would ultimately have to accept Igbo tag, not by force or compulsion, but by natural design.

Don't accuse us of what you are. We are not you and your Fulani brothers.

MetaPhysical:


There are only two civilizations in Nigeria

Yoruba and Kanuri.
These two were true conquerors.

Fulani is an opportunist.

Ibo was conquered in the North by Igala, in the South by Ijaw, in East by Ibibio and in West by Bini.

This is why you remain landlocked till today and your culture is non-uniform.

Northern Ibo culture is more Igala-like. Southern-Ibo culture is Ijaw-like, Eastern Ibo culture is Ibibio-like and in West you are Benin-like.

There is no organic Ibo culture because Ibo itself was a denigration of slavery. Anyone called Ibo was a slave back then. Whiteman rescued you from your slave masters in the North, South, East and West.
