Deadlytruth:

Unfortunatelyl, you forgot to mention that the first brute in uniform to take over thereby laying the foundation for his Fulani successors who disrupted the system was an Igbo man. Recall that Ironsi was first to tamper with the regional structure while the Hausafulanis were begging him to leave it intact?

And what did they do when they killed Ironsi and took over? Did they keep the Regions? No, they did much worse. Today, the Regions are long gone and we have 36 states.

Nobody actually wants to know who you are, carry your pathological need to be acceptable to the rest of Nigeria and drift on. See how many times you mentioned igbo in your write up?

This post will come back and haunt you later[/quote]

[quote author=Nigercity post=98570749]The truth is
The Delta ibos except some few communites in Ika
And the numerous Igbos like etche, omuma,oyibo e.t c (excluding ikwerre) have never denied there igboness even here on Nairaland
The people who always shout there are no Igbos in South/south are the ikwerres and the ijaws (with the other minorities tribe in SS) especially the ijaws who feels so much insecured about Igbos in ss (maybe becose of the Niger Delta republic dream which the wants to create with the same Igbos in SS)
And the are just the loudest, check anyone who says the are no Igbos in SS it must definitely be an ijaw man or something an ikwerre man,
Go to there Facebook group, infact everywhere the Only thing the discuss is anti Igbo,

The Igbos Rivers aside ikwerre and the ones in Delta aside Ika are very pro Igbo even here on Nairaland
Check out cjrane and co, mr i too know. mention one ibo territory in ss. unity beggers.

[quote author=Cantonese post=98571363]No wahala if he says Igbos in the south south cannot use the south east slot. At least Anyim admitted that there are Igbos in the south south. Going by that also he admitted that Irabor is an Igbo man.

See exactly the game plan of yorubas, to create disunity among Igbos.
They have not been rejected,, but their federal political rights is in SS,

Is there North Central in any compass and yet a region bears the name? What of the region called Midwest in the US? Is there such compass point? The regions are geopolitical and not geographical.

@ the bolded part, I think you're right,we are only doing it to troll Igbo.I'm Yoruba guy from abeokuta and I don't see any difference from Igbo and people from South south except Benin,I see all other state from South south as Igbo.I think you people should come together and be one because you both need one another.this won't stop me from some trolling though because that's what keep nairaland interesting.shey na lie 319nineteen

I am from Delta State.Ogwashi ukwu precisely.I speak igbo,i have an igbo name.My elders from the same lineage all had igbo names and surname.Our Igboness has never been in doubt...I am proud to be igbo...If you are truly from Asaba,you will know that ANIOMA is a Coinage used to identify igbo speaking people of delta state from the local government in delta state and to seperate them from other ethnic groups like ijaw,itsekiri,urhobo and the rest.these local government includes Aniocha,Ndokwa,ika,oshimili and OMA was added to make it have a meaning ANIOMA (GOOD LAND)...There are many notable sons and daughters from this region(ANIOMA also referred to as western igbos) who are proud of their roots.The likes of Late Ambassador Ralph Uwechue incase you never knew was one time President General Ohaneze Ndi Igbo.Notable persons like Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and many more others have never denied their origin...Recently During a BBC interview with the billionaire Ned Nwoko who is also from the igbo part of delta state,He categorically stated that he is igbo.Omu of anioma from Okpanam in one of the videos posted on her facebook wall,you will see her praying for biafra land,prayed for igbos in the south east and south south.She wouldnt do that if she is confused about her igboness.Ngozi Okonjo Iweala in a publication stated that she was hated in Aso rock Because she is igbo.Again clearly you can see she knows her roots.incase you dont know,Her father was the OBI of Ogwashi Ukwu.You claim you come from Asaba,Did you watch the interview the Obi of Asaba Prof.Chike Edozie granted the BBC??if not search for it and hear what he had to say about the asaba massacre during the war.

In as much as we have some individuals who claim not to be igbo(even though deep down in them they know they are igbos) from this region,but i can authoritatively you that majority of our people are proudly igbo..its evident in igbo groups both home and abroad as all igbos irrespective of the geopolitical zone are bonafide members.Over the years our people from the igbo part of delta state have been flaunting their igboness

we know your type..we always refer to your type as individuals having identity crisis.in case you have not,please read this book written by the OBI OF IDUMUJE UNO HRM CHARLES ANYASI "ANIOMA:RESOLVING IDENTITY CRISIS" i recommend not just you but everyone reading this post irrespective of ethnic group.By the way Idumuje Uno is in the Aniocha North LGA of delta state.and the Author is a custodian of the Kingdom.If he thinks he isnt igbo,he wouldnt have come up with that book..

What Pius Anyim said isnt out of place if you ask me as we are talking about geo political zones here.If you give south south a position,equally south east should get irrespective of the fact whether its igbo person from south south..Sadly after the civil war,the nigeria government made sure igbos are scattered or lumped with other non igbo states.

I hope you get the point now.

Is that you just post things just for the fun of trolling? So you don't know creation of states in Nigeria were mischievously done by wicked leaders just to spite the Igbos. So the Yorubas found in Edo, Kogi, Kwara are not Yorubas again? Or the Ijaws found in different states are not Ijaws again? Same as the Igalas found in Anambra state. Sometimes I wonder what you all gain in trying to heat up the political environment in Nigeria? You guys should stop this habit of propaganda and learn to travel round Nigeria to study people's culture and leave what miscreants post online.

Please who and who exactly are these Yorubas in Edo State? Would you mind telling us the part of Edo State they occupy?

wildikeman:



Perfect sense brother... I'm from onichaugbo and I tell people I'm not an igbo despite the language and name. I'm from aniocha north.... Not igbo

Then you're a big fool with identity crisis.
you speak Igbo, bear Igbo names, practice their culture, your kings or elders bear igbo titles n yet you say you're not igbo. how can someone be that foolish?
Thank God many prominent people like ngozi iweala etc have always said their Igbos. hate the Igbos however you like you're still Igbos to us all, from the Yorubas, to the Hausas to the ibibios or ijaw etc

You are indeed a dimwitted mongrel.... So someone speaks German and bears German name and is therefore a German right...

It's not by force to be a Igbo.. So get lost

Ijaw is an ethnic group, that's the ethnic group Ijaw people belong to.

Ironsi created 35 provinces which his successors followed as template to create the 36 states you now decry.

Edo people can answer for themselves. As an Ijaw I will speak only for my ethnic nation.

Samcent:

I like your disposition so far on this conversation. So mature!

Apart from the identity issue being discussed here, there's a deep mistrust between the Igbos on one hand and on the other side ethnic groups like the Ikas and Ukwuanis in Delta State.

Your posture so far here can foster a healthy discussion, but a number of folks from the south east seem to have a more of ownership claim to ethnic groups in Delta North.

Yes, I have noticed the level of distrust among both sides. The Igbos from the South South feel those from the South East would want to dominate them, and those from the South East feel those from the South South are lesser Igbos. I hope to bridge that gap in the nearest future to build one strong Igbo race in Africa and all over the world.

I was speaking English to my Igbo sister from Ibuzo in my office last week,she said I should speak Igbo so as to make sure the Akwa Ibom man in our office doesn't get to know what we are saying.....that was when I started pitying any body who is not Igbo but claims South south with the Igbo speaking South south.....such people should know that they're different and stop dragging South south coz if you're not Igbo you cannot be and your fellow Niger Delta will always make mockery of you when he/she wants to keep you off

We can start now by creating a social networking interface to have an open discussion between the SE and SS Igbos, the years of bad blood needs to be resolved. I can create a networking site and then we can go from there.

I think it's far more than social networking. To bridge this divide we would need the aid from cultural groups in various Igbo speaking groups, Traditional rulers and the influential individuals from these groups to work together.
From conversations I have had with elderly people from Anioma, they seem to blame the South East Igbos for abandoning them after the end of the war even though they suffered the most (Asaba massacre). Others like the Ikwerres of Elele who I have been opportune to talk to, feel that they wouldn't find their bearings if they return to being one with the South East Igbos.
That's why all the aforementioned people can be the ones to make the first move to bridge the divide before people like me and you can come in.
