Tell them my sister, especially those ikwere people, I had a very long argument with one of my Rivers state friends from Igwere and he kept denying that he is not Igbo. It’s a shame!!!
We can never forget Achuzia, Nzogwu Chukwuma, Okwuechime, Nwawo, Okonkwo, and a host of other fine biafran army officers who fought for the biafran nation. They came from Asaba, Ibuzo, Okpanam, and other Eunani region. May God bless them wherever they are.
@tonyumunna6061 Ok, now I got it. If they will get Anioma into Biafra it will be a win win for us . Because they are igbos. Others are in River state and Bayalsa. Even Wike..(Chukwu- Nwike) from Obi-akpo.
Onye owakayi na only few of una believe oooo to my aunty children in I aa said that they are not Igbo but when katakata burst they will remember their maternal home
Dialect does not take any one from his or her God given identity this identity is God created not Nigeria government and Nigeria system or government can not change it
We are Ukwuani People, if your father is Igbo, I’m sure you people settled among we aboriginal Ukwuani People. Mind you I’m from Utagba-Uno, Ukwuani Unadulterated
@@UkwuaniRecordsmbene by brother. Those that want to be Igbo go hear an when the Igbos descend on them. An Ukwuani man cannot descend so low. All of them are not Ndokwa people. For Ned Nwoko introducing that bill to be part of Eastern region we will deal with him in the next election. We will let our people know that he is about to sell our people out. I can remember that the whole of Ndokwa, Aboh, Ndoni to Omoku were part of Midwest Region. Please check the map. It was during Shagari era that the boundary was redrawn to use River Niger as a natural boundary and our relatives were taking the Rivers state. There is hardly any family in Ndoni and Omoku that don't have family in Kwale or Ashaka and Aboh. Can someone correct me if I am wrong. We are not Igbos. Make una leave us alone
@@ibisobriggs3413 Ibiso now you know that Kwale is the same as Ndoni and Ndoni does not consider themselves as Igbos, can you see the rational behind it. We know that from Ikwere to Ahoada to Ndoni and Omoku to Kwale had their origin from Benin.
In my own view, we dont need to preach to anyone, nobody likes to associate with poverty. Lets develope Igbo land into a first world economy, and you will see them claiming their Igboness.
You can say that 📢 louder for those in the back 🪑 seat. I have always maintained that people run away from the losers and chase the winners 🏆. Were ile gi guo eze gi.
Who are the winner? Keep fooling yourself. She is speaking the truth. We should stop playing politics with this. Other tribes were laughing at my river friend because of him saying, I am not igbos but your culture, dressing burial system are alike
We Biafrans love you so much Lisa. You're so beautiful, eloquent and very articulated. I love how you speak your mind and stands firm to what you believe in. Kudos 👏 to you. I'm a big fan. Much love ❤️
@@templekanu6740 point of correction both igbo and ijaw is since said that they are not biafra so you want igbo too to discard their identity mostly find in igbo language and igbo people tribe pay the price to stand up and defend it till today again if you don't know Nigeria ask ijaw tribe to say big NO their are not biafra so that they own name will be allowed to them to bear and answer which is niger delta and nothing goes free oil in ijaw tribe land will be involved too as Nigeria government is find oil to from other tribes Nigeria government is enforce them to bear niger delta instead of biafra
@@templekanu6740 Biafra or Biafara had been before Nigeria from very old Maps. The Ijaws you claim that suggested it have denied being Biafra. Example Asari Dokubo, Tompolo & many other minority ethnic groups. So wetin concern you & Biafra again? You people said you don't want to join that you are Niger Delta, no problem. Live & Let Live.
My darling sister we are not begging people to be Igbos, time is coming when they will be begging to belong to us, na today,e don tey wey we dey hear that music 🎵. Ada oma Chukwu gozierem gi 🙏🏽😊
I am half biafran(imo state)/Ghanaian(Alavanyo-Deme in volta region)... I have two guys from anioma delta state...i do speak igbo with both of them...i gave them room to stay for free because i see them as my brothers but guys this two deny been igbo...i told my mum but she said i should be careful so that they wont betray me...i am still thinking 🤔
One day, I asked one prominent man from Rivers state the meaning of Rumokoro, Rumeme, Rumubiakanu: Rumu this , Rumu that! I now asked the man: why do you still bear Elechi Amadi? I insisted he needs to change his name to Relechi Ramadi! It struck him for the first time that they have made him and his kinsmen “ compound MUGU!”
Because African American bear brown, bush or Tyson does that make their root comes from American. They are Africans . Igbo were the interpreters European were using to communicate with most local in the Rivers and surrounding areas. They change many things every tribe knows where they comes from you can't tell their story more than them
The anioma state should be stand. We all know why these happened. It was the civil war. Again, there was a calculated attempt at decimating our population. They took our land and people, gave it to other states. Let us come back together and forgive. We are stronger together than divided. Lets use the regional govt to bring all of us together. We shall be stronger.
No! No! No!, they are our brothers and sisters and we can’t leave them to go astray. Some foolish ones are the ones making that comment and we can’t use it nail the majority. I love them thus, the reason I found my lost rib there!
@adolphanyanwu1042 But they are harmful to we Igbos by going to back side and colliding with enemies to bring Igbos down and it effects them also. They are so gullible and so irritating thinking that we don't know their back bites towards Igbos. The whole thing is because Igbos just kept silent and watching them harlots around Nigeria politics. The warning is that never wake-up a sleeping Lion .
The truth is that anioma state is better than the orlu state. Let us bring back our igbo brothers back to the fold... they are in Delta,akwa ibom,,kogi,edo, and benue..we need more state please.
That is what Fulanis and Britain did to them. Fulani in Nigeria will call Fulanis from Cameroon, Ghana, Sudan, Bokinafaso, etc brothers, while they will advise Ikwere, Anioma in Delta, Omoku in Rivers State to dissociate themselves from Igbos before they appoint them into government offices. Then Wike will go to work, gather people from his village, and make it loud "We are not Igbo ". His followers will echo it . Oh! Foolishness. It is called divide and rule, or divide and conquer.
@@georgeheinrich9450 Fulanis don't really have any home. They wander around everywhere. They are not indigenous to Nigeria. As you find them in Nigeria, so you find them in Ghana and other countries in West and Central Africa, and beyond.
Nwaike translated to wike, Nwaigwe translated to Wigwe, Umuibekwe translated to Rumibekwe in a quest to distance themselves from Igbo. We don’t need them.
They didn't translate nwaike to wike or wigwe to nwaigwe. That is their dialect. They purposely distance themselves from Igbo nsugbe (general Igbo dialect) just to present themselves as a distinct people.
@Honest: Ada Oma.. The thing tire O.. I am not Igbo I am not Igbo I am not Igbo.. Use one person to tar/tie everyone up. NA WETIN.. It is beginning to seem{appear}like "A Weapon/ammunition"of choice. Also becoming more divisive than unifying.
By the way, I am from Asaba and "Air Raid' was my Uncle! Any Igbo who was alive and of age during the Civil War will brief you on the warrior called Air Raid. You need to look before leaping.
Am from igbanke Edo state ,, paternal first name Nkem,Paternal surname Owere, Maternal surname Nketan,maternal first name Nkeonye … I have always known that the division is only political ,, Fulani people know we all are ibos..
Let me tell us a little secret , I lived in kaduna and all through the northerners never addressed me and my Muslim yoruba friends as anything else except southerners , When I came down to lagos the yorubas made me to believe that I am simply ibo and I asked after my Benin, warri Rivers and Bayelsa friends they simply summed it up with "* ibo , isobo ba Kan na ni * meaning igbo or Rivers Benin warri they are just the same thing , so I have a simple saying to my folks those who are denying their ethnicity that No matter the amount of tonning tanning or bleaching the color of one's balls or anus can never change in color,
I be kwale am not igbo but my name is Chioma Dike, I be igbanke am not igbo but my name is ijeoma okocha, I be ikwere am not igbo but my name is Oluoma Ogundu, those are some of the ridiculous things I've heard in my life, nobody is begging you to be igbo, just drop that your igbo name and let us know how many we are, you can answer Jacinta Orok, Michael Brown for all I care, NDI ERIRI ERI
Nigeria will tell you who you are. You may live in your delusion. Nigerians know you are Igbo. Major Nzeogwu came from that Niger Delta Area & it was tagged Igbo coup. That is to tell you how other Nigerians see you despite your Identity Crisis, Self Hate & Self Denial.
I am from Agbor and I am very proud to inform our people we are truly Ibos. I am always happy each time I meet my Ibo brothers and sisters. We the Agbor Anioma people are truly Ibos period.
The truth of the matter is after the civil war, they took their hinter land igbos brothers properties coded it abandoned properties, so in view of other Nigerians and the world if they said they are Igbos, why will they take their brothers properties. So they have to deny that they're not Igbos, and they're still holding those properties till date.
Agu nwaanyi. I salute you. Creating more Igbo state will help is to attain political balance in the nation. Looking at it geopolitically. For those rejecting their identity, free the abeg. The worst thing a man can do himself is to lie to himself. They are victims of the hangovers and crisis of the civil war. Identity denials are common in life, not just in Nigeria, but in nations were there have cases of marginalisation, racial imbalances, caste systems, war reconciliations etc. Their traditional rulers have a lot of work to do. But I like your opinion, they should name their children fulani names, i think that is better and their ancestors will be proud of them.
They don’t know it’s an insult to Igbos by telling us in the SE that they are not Igbos. The former CBN governor and the former army chief of staff from Agbor, never acted or helped the SE during their terms in office. The federal government appoints them as representing the Igbos but don’t work for Igbo interests. They claim to be Igbos only when it’s convenient to them.
It's not easy to evaluate. Remember that your impact depends on the scope of responsibility. If I am appointed minister of works I can build some roads that pass through my neighborhood and people will easily see them. But if minister of finance I can offer employment to some qualified towns men and women but this hardly comes to the public glare. If you can extend inquiries, may be you will discover some shockers. Same applies not only to Igbos but the entire other ethnic groups.
This is exactly what is happening in Dominican Republic and East Africa, where people deny their ancestry. That phenomenon needs a name. It's funny because the people who caused problems like the whites, arabs and the fulani don't reject who they are. Odi egwu.
You’re a beautiful lady. I love your style, your dressing, make up, accessories,color contrast, mannerism, everything is classic, intellectual, keep it up ❤
I’m’ from Ukwuani Anioma Delta state I’m Igbo 100%. Forget ALHAJI Ned, the Fulanis planted him among us believing he can muscle us into Islam and prevent us from king our kins men across the river but he failed….. he should changed his name to Alhaji Isa Funto
@kemabassi4187 I stay in abraka and all the ukwuani people in my work place I speak my Nnewi dialect to them, I even understand them when they speak ukwuani dialect... They have never told me they are not Igbo... You greet you woman Itofe meaning pot of soup... Anyi bu ofu nnah... Ukwani is the first Igbo land u would see when coming from warri
@@justicechima1978 Thanks for your comments. But we are not Igbos. We are Ndokwa people. From Benin Kingdom. Most of our local names are Benin like names. I can mention them. The fact that we do answer names like Igbos doesn't mean anything ok. If your name is Michael. That doesn't mean you are British. If most people answer A lot of English names like we do nowadays that doesn't mean we are now British. Ukwuani as a language is a conglomerate of Igbo, Edo, isoko, urobhos, and even Ijaws. When we want to end a meeting, we say Ishiegwali. I don't think Igbos do that. Correct if if am wrong. If the Urobhos wants to end a meeting they say Missiegwari. Do you see the similarities. Now you can't conclude that we are Igbos.
Senator Nwko has never denied his Igboness. If he is actually advocating for Anioma state to be created and added to SE, I believe he is on the right path- that increases SE landmass and brings Anioma Igbos closer to their brothers and sisters.
This video is either self-serving or a product of crass ignorance. During the Civil war the Onitsha people and Igbo's West of River Niger were derogatorily referred to as 'Igbo Hausa'. It was a culmination of the 'superiority complex' that had bedevilled the Igbos East of the Niger. The perceived slight is a pushback. In Abuja I used to joke that any Chiedu who says he is not Nyamiri should wait and see what happens if they hear "Nyamiri catch am" This is my seventh decade on earth and the nonsense about the meaning of names in Igbo speaking parts of Delta is comical. Go get something useful to do. You don't even know that Anioma is in South South and has no bearing with South East. Your combative and condescending oration corroborates and typifies the delusions of the Igbos East of the Niger.
Putting it in perspective. People get this naming thing all wrong. The Ifeomas, the Chinedus, Amakas, Nkechis, Obinnas are a recent phenomenum, maybe less than hundred years. Go into history, you hardly find ancestors among these "igbo diasporans" answering these names. In Ika area, you find many Bini names. To aver that Ibo names make you Ibo is totally wrong. And an intersting part. In all these areas, Ika, Asaba, Ibusa,Ukwuali they say Ndigbo or Onye Igbo. This has always been part of their language. I dont even know how this controversy started. The Igbo across the Niger have all it takes to be an independent nation. In the Nigerian space the Igbo are the most enterprising and creative people. Let them respect people who dont want to belong for whatever reason. You cannot force people who want another identity to be part of you. I hope this will resolve this issue once and for all.
I am an Asaba man but the truth is you will meet people from imo enugu abia ebonyi etc that will tell you (from asaba) that youre not igbo so this your video is one sided most of you from the states mentioned above are fund of saying others are not igbo that why we dey always dey our dey... Now most of you start famzing after rejection in the past and we no send because we're very polish people and good as we are ..
People from Anioma started segregating them self after the civil war, because they were in mid West region, that's why some Igbo's started denying them
Before coming out to speak rubbish and call my people names, Ask your father why an average Anioma people are not interested in identifying with the igbos. Talking rubbish
Why are you people forcing these people to be part of igbo? This is very embarrassing to we the igbos. I'm from anambra state, nnewi south, we are not happy that our igbo people are always talking about this rivers and deltas being part of igbo. We igbos are ok the way we are, we don't need any other people to join us. We have everything as igbos, so i dont see why we always call this people igbos. Our people always say that the person they reject can not reject it self. Please, my igbo people, let's stop all this is very embarrassing. If you people no dey shame i dey shame.
I am an urhobo so i can say proudly and confidently that i am not Igbo but it is always funny and stupid to hear anioma people say they are not igbos it almost as funny and as stupid to hear Isoko people say they are not Urhobos the reasons for this like for we the urhobos it was Obafemi Awolowo that divided the urhobo people he said it was his personal and life mission to weaken and divide the urhobo people all because during the election in the 90's the urhobo people choose Nnamdi Azikiwe to Awolowo so he decided to punished urhobos for it that we will never have the united power to choose the right leaders for ourselves the anioma people division from Igbos is because of Ibrahim Babaginda he was the one who divided them and put disunity in the igbo land you see how devilish the Hausas and Yorubas are they follow they masters in British philosophy divide and rule we in the south south and south east need to wake up this sister can talk all day about the Yorubas and Hausas but if we don't take a drastic step in uniting all the ethnic groups we won't achieve anything tangible change during the presidential election i am from the urhobo-okpe kingdom in sapele my polling unit it was an igbo thug that APC and PDP was using to try and stop people from voting LP do you think the Hausas and Yorubas sell themselves like that when they travel from their respective states we need to come together if the south east want Peter obi to be president then by now labour party should be ruling all the 5 south east states not PDP or APC it should be LP then LP can start taking south south states one by one they Thiefnubu and Aithiefku will have a serious fight in their hand
The more state, the more money South east gets. There are more states in the north. South East needs more developments therefore we need more money from the federal government in the way of state's share.
If they say they are Igbo now you will be the first to come out and say they are not the real Igbo; then the argument becomes who is real and who is fake. They know, they have experience it already, that is why they have chosen their own identity.
Delta is 2 state and diff people in same delta. Delta is a name of state created. Before the creation people are already duellling there. So in delta today we ha e igbos. Of whicj it it warrant another creation the igbo part of it wil be caved out we know ourselves. Into anioma state. Even in thos creation of state some ingbo speaking clans was carved out of delta like igbankes. Even ekpuns ..... Meanwhile even in edo state they have benins , esans and isako igberas etc all in edo state. Even as we have some binins okadas carved into ondo state.... Ned nwoko is an igbo man. I am an igbo man. Motuon ned is moving for anioma state has been existing in mind since ages and if at all creation must take place yes anioma state is overdue. While warri will have state capital in that zone as they are stil overdue too to have it and become state in that region. And so on
My sister, creation of additional state in South East is good and better be Anioma. Orlu does not make sense to me. I'm from Abia state and I know that creating another state within the existing southeast does not make sense we need to return our brothers in Delta, Rivers, Benue, cross river etc. so let's start with Anioma.
Anioma is delta ooo they are south south not south east and stop complaining, you can answer any name names is not an identity where are from is only finished people will claim that
Igbo is the mother ethnic group that covers the groups in Eastern Nigeria to Central Africa. When some African Americans do their ancestry test and it shows Igbo, that doesn't mean they were taken from current geopolitical(S/E) Nigeria. They could be Ibibo, Efik or groups in Southern Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea etc. You people should wake up, this Age is coming to an end and we are the future of the New World(Golden Age). Nnamdi Kanu have come to restructure the world.

Because we are not Biafra , that is why we are distancing ourselves from Ndigbo in the south east. Ndigbo have their own Supreme leader onydufu Nnamdi kanu and Simon Ekpa prime Minister Biafra in exile. We are Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Nigeria we stand. Nothing concern us with una Biafra
What is the old name of the place called Delta, because Delta is the English name given to that place to make it not to be too igbotic, they denied and denounce Igbo heritage, don't mind them, the land will speak, Ada Igbo, don't worry they will say the truth one day, is because of Nigeria terrorist government have caused them to denied their fathers language may God Almighty help us all Biafra is the solution and only hope God bless ohamadike one of Biafraland Mazi nnamdi okwuchukwu kanu and our prime Minister Mazi Simon Ekpa Odogwu one of Biafraland and all Biafra Soldiers and media's in Jesus Christ mighty name Amen!!!
Igbos in delta never denied they are igbos. You igbos in the so called east are the once claiming to be real igbos. Mind you,the Bight of Biafra used to be from the costal waters from akwaibom,cross rivers and rivers into the ocean. The first capital of the eastern region ,was calarbar.
Say it again! IGBO BU OTU HOPEFULLY NDIIGBO WILL RECLAIM ALL HER LAND AND REMOVE HER IGBO DYNAMIC.FROM THOSE DENYERS.THANK you for your presentation Demonisation of IGBO by the British and Arab Fulani is manifest in those ignorant split personality persons
Yes they share similar culture and to some extent languages but still Most Ikwerre, Ika, Ukuwani and the rest prefer their unique identity. Core Igbo should understand their feelings and respect them for whatever they claimed to be. Being forcefully made to join to the core Igbo might not work. They would be happy if you tell them we share similar culture. But do not tell them you want to force them to join main core Igbos. DEY YOUR DEY AND I DEY MY DEY ! NOBODY SHOULD WORRY NOBODY !
Then if they say they are not Igbos, well let it be so but when an appointment is designated for the Igbos they shouldn't come out to start answering Igbo. Maintain a stand. Not switching sides from (Hausa to Yoruba to Niger Delta to Igbo) when it is convenient
There are certainly those who lay claims to their authentic identity. Ned Nwoko, Ifeanyi Okowa, and others consistently assert their Igboness. Forget about Wike. He can go anywhere because of his political ambition of becoming the president of Nigeria. A mirage. We need another state. Remember that if Abia state didn't exist, Alex Otti would not have the opportunity to show what he is capable of. Let the structures be there, then we shall have the duty to sift carefully the leaders that pilot our affairs. I can't see why anyone with right senses will decline Igbo identity unless the person is lazy. Such people are no big loss. Efforts are in top gear to unify the Igbos. He who wants to go out can do so but we won't drive away the willing ones with them. That will again amount to injustice.
They will drop the name. Someone said to you that he is not an igbo man, why are you forcing him to be igbo? Is igbo man not call lucky? Is that igbo man call lucky a British man? Igbo man that call Victor, it is a British man? The Igbo man that call emmanuel or starly or Joseph, it is a British man? all this you the are doing, I didn't see any sense in it. Someone say to you, he's not an igbo man, you are forcing him to to be igbo, you need to stop that. How did you want to cross river Niger to Delta the Midwestern Region to claim as an igbo nation?
Lisar, listen, and listen to me carefully. The Anioma people claiming that they're not Igbos do not represent the majority of the Anioma people!! Please, don't ever have this type of episode again!! What am I stating here? I Don't want you through this type of episode trivialize the deaths of 100s of Asaba people that were massacred in the Civil War making their massacre to be in vain. Instead of focusing on a few Anioma people claiming that they're not Igbo, please, ask their SE brethren what they've done to make the world understand that the Western powers, in collusion with federal troops, committed genocide in Asaba and elsewhere. Could it be that those few Anioma people claiming that they're not Igbo are scared that their people might be victims to the monsters in Nigeria just like their brethren in Asaba? Asaba gave Biafra their dear son, Col. ASHUZIA. 🙏 Please, my baby sister stop!!! Focus on what brings us together. Thank God SE is not listening to you, they're leaving places like Lagos, and developing places like Asaba and the rest of the SE. So, please, stop!!!!!
It's not her fault, a lot of people from the South South claim they're not igbos maybe simply because they were carved into other states, some of them feel too special when the Igbos in the mainland try to identify with them, even insult us while trying to convince us that they're from Benin
Am from Delta State base in Lagos and I m pure igbo man anybody, from Delta, rivers,akwa ibom,bayesa, cross rivers, are purely igbo, this is what British government is using to bring separation between our self, if they like it or not we are all igbo
These confused people needs a psychological and sociological evaluation and reconstruction. Igbos should ignore this mental health anomaly from these our lgbo brothers relations in Rivers, cross Rivers, Akwaibom, Bayesa, Benue, and Delta , they are victims of social propaganda spanning over centuries right from the colonialist era till date. Let’s try Love ❤️ instead of attacking them like this. It requires more enlightenment and encouragement.
People don't just distance them selves like that from You igbo should ask them selves what have they done to ANIOMA and IKEERE people. Am proudly ANIOMA MAN and I am NOT igbo PERIOD. I remember as a child the igbo always called us OSU people when IBEKACHUKWU was state Minister for petroleum the igbo people said is NOT an igbo man remember the first interview with BUHARI. ASABA MASSACRE is our history today thanks to the igbo not even a solidarity one day from them. Today all our land has been bought off by the igbo people and their children is now claiming to be ANIOMA and saying ANIOMA is igbo land.

A true Igbo man is never scared of whatever that comes before him be it death or whatsoever. They were scared to fight and die during the civil war that's why they all denied their tribe. We are not begging them to be Igbo, we are enough the way we are.

They should answer Hausa or Yourba names ika people who hate being identified as Igbo must stop answering igbo names they are impersonating Igbo men and women.
