Yep, they all have an independent identity from Igbo

You are not from Etche, but your busy body no go allow you rest.
Allow the people from Etche to tell their history not you from the east forcing your belief on them thereby spreading info doctored to suit your belief.


Una no dey tire?
Allow the Etches, the Omumas to tell their history.


Guy ,from this post, I have come to the conclusion that you are on a mission to divide the Igbo nation. Why did you say such a thing with regards to eche/omumma of all people?. Habaaa. Guy these people are not ikwerre na. So eche, omumma, and ndoki are not Igbo people again that they need to come and tell their history how they are not Igbo or what?. The way you are going, you will soon ask afikpo, nsukka and others to come and tell their history of how they are not igbo too. Habbaaaaa.

I have gone through your comments where you accused Igbo people of trying to claim lands outside Igbo nation but here you are doing the same thing. I don't know your age but this your post hhmmmmm.

I believe we have eche people here that will shut you up on these.

No part of Rivers is igbo land.

You are a kid. Rivers state created yesterday now defines Igbo land. So their land are now rivers land and not Igbo land again. Hmmm.

And what is this independent identity? Lets use Etche as an example. What is the difference between an Etche man and an Nsukka man besides residing in different states?

Oh I see, you take people based on what they identify with. So what you are saying is that if the Okrika man tomorow decides to identify as Igbo, you will also take him as Igbo too?

Then in that case, I suggest you go to Elele in Ikwerre local govt because last time I was there, they all identified to me as being Igbos.

Or maybe you havent visited Egbema community who hate the fact that half of their community is in Imo and the other half in Rivers.

Or maybe you can talk about the Asa people who used to be in old Aba division long before there was anything called Rivers state but today find themselves trapped in Rivers.

Why would an Okirika man want to Identify as igbo, I don't understand the parallels u are trying to draw, Ethnic identity isnt like a church you can change because u suddenly dislike the doctrine

The fact that this leeches invade almost every igbo rivers topic to screech an attempt to divide and rule. In addition to this leech claiming Ikwerre dialect which every igbo can comprehend is ineligible to igbo speaks high volume of doubt on their claim of being river state.

One ijaws are obsessed on Igbo but not on the level of this rat and his Ekinematics I'd. Not this level. Especially not in the desperation of shouting who or who is not igbo. Considering how many rat claims to be every tribe they aren't especially due to ther anonymous cloak of NL.

Anyway OP and Jetleee as well as others on here
Etche does have deniera but they are the minority. Most are in support of being igbo. Pretty much the entire igbo communities in River, excluding Ikwerre where the deniers are the majority. The rest are the opposite.

If you want to get a grasp of how the etche identity. You should read their own thought. They once had this argument on their own people's page
https://www.nairaland.com/3327624/etche-river-state-not-igbo--igbo.

Notice most identify as Igbo while few did not. The ones that did not were even mocked by their own people that did...

At OP
Etche isn't the only igbo group in rivers.
You have Ndoki, Egbema, and Asa.

Am interested in homogeneous igbo society

There is no single igboman in SS and there won't be...

The set back we sufferr in igboland and the punishment been hauled to us by FG and hausa fulani is always been caused by them...

If one chibuzo from SS kills someone he is an igboman...or a drug peddler. Or a kidnapper..

But if same chibuzo win a medal....he is from Niger delta.

I don't want such Igbo nation.

Igbos of SE are enough to be called igbos.

You better believe it. I heard it directly from an okrika (ogu bolo) lady. they do speak Igbo language even more than their own Wakrike (nwa-Akịrịka) language which they've all but abandoned. lots and lots of them have Igbo ancestry both from the paternal and maternal sides. all efforts to compel them to stop speaking Igbo in favor of their okrika (which by the way is not similar to ijaw) has so far failed. even the kalabari too. remember Jimmy erekosima "Rex " Lawson? he sang many Igbo songs.

A few days ago, I commented in the crime section on a thread about a man that was assasinated in Etche, Rivers state.

I just said that violence was becoming too much in Igbo land and some ignorant people, most of which I can bet have never been to Rivers state, started asking me if 'Rivers state is Igbo land?'

Most of these people dont even know who the Etches are but are asking if Igbos are Rivers state.

Rivers state is just the creation of past military leaders, what matters are those that are indigenous to the area.

There is no difference between me from Anambra and an Etche man. We both speak Igbo as our ancestral language and have Igbo surnames. The only difference is that Gowon created Rivers state and put the Etche man in there.

Etches are 100% Igbos and Rivers state is partly Igbo land!

I disagree at bolded
