Oga you people should stop embarrassing igbos... Let this minority group rest. They re not igbos both gej and wike and their tribe re not igobs and igbos do not need them to be relevant. Stop this nonsense

Organs:
I will restrain from cursing and insulting igbos because i have so many fine well behaved people that are igbos. However the criminal elements amongst them are drowning the voices of the good people amongst them. The criminals amongst them like to trade in criminality, confussions, lies and war. If you give them the war, they will run away, cry to UN, WHO etc and complain. ZIK warned against fighting and wanted peaceful resolution, he was called a hausa mumu, Alex Ekwueme, a fine brilliant gentleman was called a hausa houseboy. Okorocha is called Okoro hausa, Ngige is called Sultan houseboy, now Wike is also a Buhari sellout. However, they will worship and follow hate filled, coward, useless lying Nnamdi Kanu that up till this moment he cannot even fulfil his promise and show his empty headed followers evidence of Buhari as Jubril El sudani. I flinch at the rubbish and lies they share amongst themselves as evidence of everyone against them. Buhari, Wike, Obama's govt, Nigerian Army, Police, Airforce, Yoruba people, Hausas, Fulani, South Africans, Indians, all, are jealous of them and against their Biafra and their progress, can you imagine that mindset and mentality? Yet they did not do anything wrong oh. I feel for my level headed igbo friends truly. They are a fine set of people and i am embarrassed how they got entangled with these bunch of moronic fools.

There is nothing like THE IGBOID LANGUAGE. You are being derailed by the "Igbo" in Igboid". For your information English is a Germanic language but that is another story

The point is The term "Igboid" was introduced by Kay Williamson the foremost research authority on Igbo linguistic studies before her death.
Igboid is a family of languages which include Ikwerre and several Igbo dialects according to a classification established by Kay Williamson.
By a similar token English German and Dutch are Germanic languages.

Does that make the English or Americans German?

Does it make Nigerians German?

Theranos:


Fool you insult entire tribes so casually and you're surprised when they get angry with you?

Compound fool.

I don't blame you, I blame the tragedy of this useless nation that has created such an ocean of poverty, that anyone who disagrees with his fellow human is immediately accused of being hungry or poor.

Wastrels and mental/moral defectives like yourself are the reason for Nigeria's failure, you filthy son of a syphilitic dog

PreyingMantis:
I met an Etche man sometime ago in Yenagoa. He needed a favor from me and he identified himself as Igbo from Etche. Somehow I could tell from his countenance that he didn't really believe I would accept him as an Igbo man... Probably because of the continuous denial they're known for. Truth is most times when they're in foreign territory, they choose to identify as Igbos because it serves their interest and gives them a sense of belonging. The Ijaw people in Bayelsa do not know what is Ikwerre or what is Etche. ALL OF THEM ARE IGBOS... Kapish!

SlayerForever:
Etche is next to be ostracized. We don tire abeg.

Between Igwe Achebe's yesterday story and Zik's grandmother's yesteryear story which is more credible considering the current political dynamics and geographical location Igwe Achebe finds himself.

Zik's grandmother stressed that Chime was a Benin prince, he carried the Benin royal blood, nobody can be more Benin than that. It may interest you to know that some of the names considered Igbo names today such as, Amadin, ugo, Eze, Okoro and the name of Onitsha must revered shrine Udo were all ancient Benin names, people and places still bear these names in Benin.

The present Igbo land was actually part of old Benin empire.

The fact that the white Americans are proud to be Americans doesn't deny them their various European heritages and lineages.

ebenezer202l:
what language do Etche people speak?
plain Igbo or ikwerre?

Igboid:


So Chime sounds Bini to you?
What about Eze too? That sound Bini too?

gidgiddy:
Ikwerre not being Igbo all depends on the Ikwerre you meet. An Ikwerre man and former Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, will tell the whole world that he is an Igbo man. Another Ikwerre Governor like Wike will say he is not Igbo


Meanwhile, an Ikwerre man called Uche Okwukwu is Ohanaeze Secretary general while another Ikwerre man called Elechi Amadi wrote a book to say Ikwerres are not Igbos

You meet an Ikwerre man, he says he is Igbo. You meet another Ikwerre man, he says he is Bini. You meet the third Ikwerre man, he says he is neither Igbo or Bini, he is just Ikwerre. Confusion everywhere!

Its for Ikwerres to go and sort out whatever identity crisis that has engulfed them

There is no US!

Stay in your own lane, your land, your state!

Igbo land is your homeland

Abiribas hunted and sold "Igbos" as slaves for centuries

Language doesn't determine ancestry.

Black Americans speak in English but that doesn't make them genetically Caucasian.

Igboid:


So Chime sounds Bini to you?
What about Eze too? That sound Bini too?

samuk:


There's the Eze family in Benin with various branches. They goes by the morning greetings Lavi-Eze. All established Benin families have morning greetings that identify them and also have chiefs that represents them in the Palace. Why single out two names from the list I gave you.

The people that left Benin took with them names and cultures you guys are now claiming including as Igbo, the names of your market days and titles of some of Obi of Onitsha chiefs, including the Obi's title himself, Agboghidi, his sceptre are all Benin in origin.

Some have argued that Chime was actually Ikhimwin which the Igbos they met in their new land pronounced Chime. The Igbonization of Benin names and words are not peculiar to the eastern expansion of the old Benin empire, most Benin original names and settlements in Lagos were also Yorubanized.

There is no such historical classification of people as Igbo. before the creation of Nigeria.

The Pan Igbo identity is a creation of Nigeria


Aros sold many people who tday would be "Igbo" as slaves through Calabar and never saw those they sold as their people

I am not a tribalist. The real tribalists are the IPOB morons.

Nchenches:


There must be more criminal elements like you from the tribe you come from than among the Igbos.

Why do you stake everything to make Igbo remain in one Nigeria with you against their interest?

Why do you put everything to have oil producing rivers and others distanced from the Igbo if not your criminal ploys to have the oil producing areas become tiny for your easier exploitation?

All the Igbo ask is a plebiscite for what they ask for. Why are you afraid of plebiscite, the best instrument of democracy? After the plebiscite, you can have Wike and his Ikwerre if they refuse Igbo. But be rest assured that the oil producing areas in the SS can not remain with rest of Nigeria for one month without the Igbo.
