I swear, 5 Yoruba names will beat all these nonsense they wrote.
5 names I'll mention,
1 in the art of literature
1 in the politics
1 in music
1 in legal practice
1 in traditional way (kings )

influential people kill them there

I won't even go to religion or Activitism

Again, influential people kill them there

Alexaonfleek:
You have a point.
But he isn't completely Igbo,like the way the op suggests.
Same with Godwin emefiele.
I just did a quick scan of the list,and if I go through that list properly,a good number of people op mentioned aren't completely Igbo.

caleboxylic:


Language and culture define who we are. That Oba had control of their territory didn't and doesn't make them Benin.
Esan are not benin but benin controlled their territory in the past.

caleboxylic:


What is complete igbo? Your people/nigerians termed Nzeogwu's coup an igbo coup but not comfortable to call his people igbo. You people are evil for attempting such.

Hypocrites.

Revolva:
Don jazzy is not fully igbo ok his mum is igbo while his dad is isoko deltan ok

jim ovia and godwin emefiele are both agbor in delta and they are not fully igbo....like you think

post=91807437:

Ika a Sub Igbo group are not Igbo to you, and you believe Ijebus from Waddai in Sudan are Yoruba

Dedetwo:


The Oba of Benin never controlled any area beyond the boundary of Benin and Igbanke. Any Oba who attempted anything southeast-ward regretted such dream. Agbo is still loaded with captured Benin people.

Mercy Chinwo - Rivers
Tony Elumelu - Delta
Jim Ovia - Delta
Godwin Emefiele - Delta
Austin Okocha - Delta
Okonjo Iweala - Delta
Pat Utomi - Delta

Why don't you stick to your 5 eastern states and leave out the disputing states. The other thread was about celebs who are not yorubas but mistaken for yorubas due to their romance with the culture. I think another should be created for Igbos.

Apawicked:
what's the chest beating in making the list of influential Igbos? you are so so insecure at the mention of Igbos.

If we can do what we do in Lagos then what is Ondo.

Ika a Sub Igbo group are not Igbo to you but you believe Ijebus from Waddia Sudan are Yoruba

mickykhe:

Let's try make the list for educative and comparative purposes only not for tribal war, list the 5 of yours and I will list 5 of Igbo's against them let's see how bad the result will be. Once again am not in dis for tribal bullcraps just for fun. Cheers

maximunimpact:
Remove Elumelu and Emefiele from this your igbo list....even okonjo too. Delta is not igbo.

We are NOT Igbo !
Never have, never will be!!.

Was there any geo-political space as Middle belt at the time you mentioned?

How many states and regions have been created after that?.

Any coalition should be consensual or by agreement ,not tagging us along.

Sammy07:


at least ijebu people are within South west and Yoruba land.
are Ika people in SE

blakkydikky:
....dont mind them. Bunch of ignorant people. Eni ti ko de oko baba eni kan ri loma nso wipe oko baba ohun lo tobi ju. Imagine the poster mentioned Phyno,Olamide baddo's boy.

Alexaonfleek:
Calm down sir
I'm all for Igbo amaka,but a good number of people in the list are from SS

Spiff20:
Take the comments of politicians serious at your own peril. Politicians will claim anything and debunk anything just to spite opponents and gain favor from the other side. And yes even if it means claiming another tribe. Go and ask Amaechi now what he thinks. And by the way for those who claim name is a pointer, how come an ijaw man with Azikiwe and Ebele is not Igbo. You see most of you are just too quick to claim anyone bearing Igbo name. That name might come from his mother's side but you just claim the person is Igbo. Amaechi with no business with Yoruba bears rotimi, while he was slamming Jonathan why didn't he ask himself if he can speak Yoruba with his Rotimi. You see why you shouldn't take these men serious?

Why are you sweating tho?
You just have to spam this thread with your lies.

Dude is even a prince from Delta state.

Shut up there, when did their state prevent them from being Igbo?

Of course it does not matter where or how they made it...
