I'm a Lagos Igbo - an Igbo born/bred in Lagos. Or an Igbo whose ancestors are 3-4th generation Igbos. Lagos Igbo is a reality! 42% of Lagosians are Igbo. When we combine mixed folks (Yorubas with Igbo moms) then it is over 50%. If you doubt it run election without MC Oluomo. ✌️
Lagos Ibo is a provocative term to use.
Ibos in Lagos or Ibo residents of Lagos is more acceptable and appropriate.
There is no such thing as Lagos Ibo, Rivers Ibo, Delta Ibo. These are identities created by homeless expansionists who instead of living in harmony with their
Learn from who? Clowns like you? Here is Elumelu. I am proud to be Igbo. Again another Anioma. How come it only the nonetities among you that sat that they are not Igbo. Okowa the governor said he is igbo. Yet it confused lot like you I should listen to?? No be ment!
True. Just that there are more than 5 and you listed only the ones founded by Yorubas.
1. HopStop by Chinedu Echeruo sold to Apple
2. Somatus by Ikenna Okezie is +$2.5B
3. CloudTrucks by Tobenna Arodiogbu ~$850M
These are the few I know sure there are more
Do you know? Currently, there are only 5 unicorn companies in the world with a founder/co-founder of Nigerian origin.
These companies are privately held startup valued at over $1B.
1) Cityblock Health- $5.7B, co-founded by Toyin Ajayi
2) Calendly- $3B, founded by Tope Awotona
Please shut up. There is nothing like core igbo. It is idiots like u that give credence to the Yoruners attempting to set discord among the bigger Igbo nation. Who the fuck are u majoring with. You are from Umu Nri a single autonomous community. you & who is core igbo. Are u ok?
@IgboHistoFacts
Why are you not also talking about Father Doran. The Irish Catholic Missionaries. This handle needs to be current with latest news. Here is the New York Times from this week. What are you guys doing?
I strongly doubt ur mom is Igbo for a person so Igbophobic, who camps on any tweet were the Igbo is disparaged. I strongly doubt it. Where is ur mom from? What state, what home town. u are one of the most Igbophobic handles on this street. So yh we call this Bull until otherwise
Islam cannot conquer SE because it unprogressive religion. It is backward. Stuck in the middle ages. No Igbo has time for living life like the old. We are moving forward not backwards. It our mentality. Dynamism and progress. Islam is rigid. Islam is retrogressive. Not a chance

But Igbo Ukwu art is more sophisticated than those at Ife. So perhaps it why the writer is conjecturing that maybe it Igbos that taught Yorubas their metal work. Igbo Ukwu art are older and way more sophisticated than those Ife statues
This is why Yorubas should never trust this white archeologist always drawing conclusions like some bitcheS.... if it's not aliens now it's Igbos, even though Igbos has never made any art as sophisticated as ife art ...as for you, culture vulturing is your identity.
You are an Eshan guy claiming Onicha Ugbo. Fake. u got caught and now explaining genealogy. Who send you. I knew you were fake when you said Onicha Ugbo is not Igbo and could not help the use of your igbophobia slur- "Igbon". Before you used that I was giving you benefit of doubt
Mumu you cannot carbon date metals. You carbon date things that have carbon in them. You cant carbon date bronze olodo.
Igbo Ukwu testing is similar to the one used on Ife. Rest. You been trying to invalidate the Igbo's art work. You won't suceed.

Igbo-Ukwu is the name of a place/site.

My father jammed you all the time . Songs I grew up listening to as a little girl in his Primera. Nostalgia. Fun years going back to hometown during December the journey from Lagos to East. Always looked forward to it every year. 🥹
Three years ago today, renowned Igbo Highlife musician, Chief Dr. Emeka Morocco Maduka died.
He had over 104 Albums with 85 singles. Emeka Maduka hailed from Ukwulu in Anambra state.
Song title: Ochuba Aku, one of his greatest songs.
Gone but not forgotten!
@funshographix
It is no man's land because it was formerly the capital of Nigeria. If Lagos did not want it to be no man's land then it should have rejected it's selection as capital. And maybe you can argue that the British gave her no choice. Fair. Bt just as Nigeria is British creation 1/2

Please redact your entire tax return leaving only the section showing your tax is over 65K. How is this hard? You already said your tax is 65K. Any good accountant can look up the tax bracket to estimate your income with that tax rate. So nne stop forming privacy. Redact and post

NO! The migration to the southwest would be too much. It's undesirable for the development of the southwest when migrants overburden scarce resources.
Developed nations of the world control migration and population. I hope we implement these soon..
With this kind of comment. Islam has zero chance in Ala Igbo. Islam is too haughty for the Igbo. Islam needs to humble itself. It needs to refine itself for the Igbo to accept. You heard xtian missionary suffered before they won Ala Igbo. If na like this, then You never serious!
I want to make this very clear! I have no apologies for this tweet and I will NEVER take it down! I mean my words and will certainly stick to same whenever they get their BIAFRA! I will goto a state or country where I am safe to practice my Deen! That is what Islam taught me.
No we dont!
We said the majority are Igbo. Check the majority towns - Agbor, Owa, Umunede. These are all very Igbo. The other places you mention are low population areas 😊. So again the majority of Ika are the Igbo part!

That is 'respondents". Next time read the heading of your chart. That means they interviewed more Yorubas. That is later corrected to reflect the actual proportion as seen in the chart I have above. Next time read before posting 😊.
I don't understand but Wizrab is saying he is Igbo. Wizrab is Ika and says he is Igbo. Nkechi Bianze and Ifeanyi Okowa say they are Igbo. So yh you can die on your hill but stop disturbing people. Every history of Ika people found in academic journals also point to Ika as Igbo!
I will die on the hill that the Ika tribe is not a subset of the Igbo tribe.
I will also die on the hill that Okowa is either blatantly lying as a politician or is totally ignorant of Ika history when he says that he's Igbo.
And you will never see me make derogatory statements

Akuko. Nne you put out your tax. So it no more private information. Redact your W2 form or tax return statement showing 65K. As long as it is not photoshopped or doctored, you win. There is no Yahoo here. It is just calling you out for claiming you rich or high earning when u not

You forgot the days of calling yourself elite salary and that others are poor. Yada yada yada. You been capping that nonesense years back. Today I am asking you to evidence that 65K tax. You just boasted of paying more tax than someone 3 year cumulative. No fraud.
Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is Igbo. More Igbo than anyone can be. Her father was a Biafran army commander. I think most of u are either illiterate/just triggered by jealousy.Aba women Riot is rooted in Igbo origins and led by an Igbo Widow who refused to pay taxes given her late husband
@ruleyourspace
How is Agbani Darego, Ngozi Okongo Iweala and the Aba women igbos?
These people are clearly from Niger Delta. Niger Delta don't even rate you guys and don't see themselves as Igbos.
Stop tagging them as igbo.
That said, Yoruba women are the most influential women in Nigeria.
Look to Jamaica Igbo Culture is strong and thriving there. Look to Guinea Fernanda Po.
That u are an illiterate & not well read is not my fault boo. Not my fault.
And Aros are Igbo. I know u didn't even know. Illiterate reads history from Twitter. The full name is Arochukwu!
Igbo culture is so weak that despite the Aros selling over a million of you, there is no trace of this “culture” in the Americas. What culture? Yorubas run and export Nigerian culture & couture to the world by various means,the only thing you have exported out of Nigeria is drugs

God bless Gen Yakubu Gowon. One Nigeria over anything else, please.
Please Delta North is Igbo. Stop deigbonizing Ndi Anioma
Aniocha, Ukwani, Ika, Oshimili, are all Igbo people. Attempted Cultural Genocide is looking for trouble. You are busy fighting Uhrobo people and at the same time looking for trouble with Igbos in Delta. Stay one place
This is well known. Igbo Ukwu artefacts predates Bini and Ile Ife's. So it is logical that it was the blacksmith from Igbo Land, particular Awka that taught the guys at Bini and Ife. This is also seen in the Ichi mark on the Ife artwork. Before Bini emerged, there was Nri!

You just hate the Igbos. That your problem Anioma people are Igbo. From Okonjo Iweala to Morris Monye to Pay Utomi, to Denis Osadebe to Okowa. They all say they are Igbo. Why are you trying to de-igbonize them? You should check the hate in your heart.

It anthropology not linguistics. Next time pay attention in class. Is it British that made Ikwerre birth place of Kamalu/Amadioha. Hve u wondered y "Amadi" is like one of the most popular last names there. Forget abt language what abt marriage rites, burial rites, food, umunna,
@ObiFCB
@SotyBrave
Bcos you Igbos have no unique identity, yu always run to your 1900s British linguistic grouping to claim Ikwerre people who used your fathers as slaves before the arrival of the British.
Like we Ikwerres, the Igalas were also grouped as Yoruboid.
But we are not Igbo nor Yoruba.
nothing like Bini Ika. Ika are a people found in multiple states. Because they are on the boundary of Igboland, their culture is also influenced by the aspects of their neighbors the Bini. But they are Igbo. No Bini history considers Ika people Bini. None. 1/3
@meziemjanet
Can you explain why women empowerment index like female literacy, female financial empowerment, female property or house ownership will be higher in a place deeply rooted in misogyny. Also why is patriarchy = misogyny? Igbo society is patriarchal but how is it misogynistic?
I know you hate this so bad. But Bia is in the SS so it not clear what you mean. Rivers and Delta!
Again I know this irritates you so much but all you can do is whine to God for creating the Igbos. Nothing more
before u jump on a thread to form woke for the Igbo misandrists get your facts straight boy! And don't say rubbish. Nw this is a UNESCO report confirming the thesis from

My God! I can’t believe this person is brazenly lying through their teeth, rewriting history before our eyes & we are clapping? Jesus! Do you know what you’re saying? That women were asked to go to school over men in the 70s & 80s? & why can’t Nigerians think or interrogate shit?
Well without Lagos it will be behind SE in most development indices. Take a look at multidimensional poverty for example. With Lagos poverty is at 40%. Without Lagos with its huge population skewering it, it will definitely be above 50%, behind war-recovered SE with lowest FAAC
@SheldonCooperNG
What federal resources built Lagos? Even without Lagos, the south west still remains the most peaceful, industrialized and habitable part of Nigeria. The south western states are the only places in Nigeria without a American travel warning. Rest!
It is not Igbo culture for a woman to take on her husband name. It is actually British culture and NOT Igbo at all. Igbo culture women retain their father's name. Bride price does not erase the identity of a woman. Man should get educated

They speak Igbo. Bini people dont understand Ika. Uhrobo people don't understand. Itshekiri don't understand. Ijaw don't understand. But an Igbo from Enugu state understands Ika. And you are here claiming it not Igbo 😂😂. Explain the magic how people in far Enugu understand it!
Nigeria bombed Red Cross. It was the first war where Red Cross will be bombed by a fighting side. Omo the world was shocked. Nigeria was shooting down CARITAS relief planes. What u saying? u guys listen to the lies of your parents so ashamed of their atrocities. There're videos!

I think we are being irrational in how IPOB is countered. Yes obviously this is a myth/joke. But say Israel won't help Biafra, are people marching on the streets because Israel would help Biafra? It becoming weird our line of attack on IPOB. Very weird!
Obi of Onitsha is only for Onitsha. Omo it means nothing outside Onitsha. It not even a real king. Can Obi of Onitsha overule an Umunna decision? Every culture is not monarchial like yours. Some are very democratic from day one! The Igbo Has No King! Nollywood giving u guys zobo
@WELLARD1695340
You are new on Twitter. Governor Okowa from Agbor says he is Igbo. So I don't know why it a 🤡 like you I be wasting my time with sharing fake news blogs. The Governor of Delta Ifeanyi Okowa clearly declared he is Igbo like many from Agbor!
Her hate is unfortunate. Her personal opinion.
But just a friendly reminder, that LAGOS IS A FEDERAL TERRITORY, and thus belongs to all Nigerians, aka No Man's Land. They don't need any ethnicity permission to live, habit, operate or "hate" in Lagos!
How can you hate Yoruba people and still live on their land? You don't have any shame? Thanks to the young man o ki se omo lo ile lo gba esi wa. You even look 30 in your 20s and i am sure you will have hair in you chest 🤮🤮🤮.
Last tier you always crying about last tier domination . That why you need federal might to fight last tier. That why you always on the edge about last tier. That y you scared of Lagos takeover by last tier. That why you always leading protest about last tier. Lazy Igbo wanna be
Delusional fools. Igbos are last tier out of all major ethnic groups in Nigeria. Why would a Yoruba man with history of over 700 years want to be a tree dwelling bushwalker that the Brits saved from starving out? What a joke

Why do they have to steal it. They have been legitimately purchasing it with CofO like citizens of every cosmopolitan society (NYC, Paris, London, Toronto, etc.). No they are not Fulani herdmen that invade and snatch. They are hardworking industrious citizens
Yeah this is Pat Utomi himself
First declaring that he is igbo.
Second describing that his name Utomi is the short form of Uto di Omimi.
Will you now also say that Pat Utomi, a professor is ignorant of his name as well?
This the problem with you 🤡🤡.
@That_Ikaman
1st Igbo: pat Utomi is an Igbo man, Utomi is Igbo name
Me: what does Utomi mean in Igbo
1st Igbo: 🤐
2nd Igbo: Utomi is an Igbo man, we’re from the same village
3nd Igbo: It was corrupted from Igbo word otu a ka anyi ga Bia , Utomi is Igbo name

ur ancestors didn't build anything. Federal resources did. no we're not fleeing. u can't be fleeing a region that is most developed (remove Lagos, federal territory from SW & recompare). As business people we are going to a large commercial market, Lagos. Just like MTN in Nigeria
The Uber Driver I rode with moments ago is a 50-year-old Somalian who ran away during the Somalia crisis of 1992. He said to me, "we lost the whole country because of tribalism." Even after several years of living in the US and having a good life, I felt the emotions in his
@meziemjanet
Well that doesn't make sense then. How then does your flag work. Or is your flag biased because you are Igbo? Just trying to understand how you make a blanket statement but seem unable to substabtiate it. Except you only roll with men from Lagos/Abuja then it seems.
When we finish fighting in Anioma and neutralizing these Igbo hating mofos there. We are coming for Rivers state. This is Igbo Renaissance. The balkanization of the Igbo is now over. We are now in the eponymous moment similar to the "Reunification of Germany"
People like Wike like to bank on the historical ignorance of the majority of his people to pitch them against their brothers
Did you know that it was Azikiwe through Ukiwe that helped the Ikwerre to fight for the creation of Rivers State without Bayelsa?

Please stop this.
Even Sim from Opobo is Ibani a mix of Ijaw & Igbo. Ikwerre is Igbo. I understand the anger in your tweet with the foolishness of Ikwerre Igbo denial but remember our enemies want this. To keep the Igbo balkanized. Do not fall for this!
Dear ijaw people as you begin your battle against ikwerre people.
Pls be mindful that ikwerres ARE not igbos....and we have nothing in common.
Make nothing no do any Igbo man for port Harcourt.
Fight your battle wisely.
I didnt mention Biafra. I told u Ala Igbo. u just want to mention Biafra to get Nigerian sympathizers forgetting your mission - to win Igbo souls. So after you get Nigeria to cheer you with anti-igboness, you still want to convert Igbos? So childish. Don't worry you never serious
You said or rather your so brainless and ignoramus so called IPOB leaders said that when BIAFRA comes, they anything Islam will be wiped off in BIAFRA land, now, your stupidity did not allow you condemn that but it allowed you to tweet this yeah? Who cares even?
So what is the problem with Igbo unity? Why does Igbo unity frighten or scare you. What about Igbo unity worries you. What about Igbo unity is detrimental to your existence. Directly point to me how Igbo unity is harmful to you? Or do you prefer disunity. All ears. Educate me
You claim not to deny the identity of Opobo people but right under your tweet, there are misguided individuals talking about "Igbo unity".
We see through your expansionist agenda.
Go and fraternize with your Ebonyi brethren.

They are afraid of repercussions
Yeah cause you are an illiterate not to know that

The children of the vanquished are buying out the children of the victors. It`s alarming and confounding how victors lost every head start they had over the vanquished. However, the children of the vanquished should reconsider this move. Learn from the Jewish experience in Europe
It finally turned for Jews in Europe. They were successful without political power for centuries until European anti semitism reached it max in Hitler & it crumbled. Igbophobia will soon reach its max & crumble. The tide will turn. We will be free. It will happen. Enjoy ur "win".
