Why are we still confused about who is Igbo. Igbo land is a large ethnic group with so many dialet. Anambra says Fa siri, Imo says ha kwuru, Ikwere says Wa si, Abia say ha si ,Enugu says fa si Igbo man will always hear Igbo nomather the dialet as long as the dialet is of Igbo ethnicity nomatter where they carve you enter call you South East, south sout ,south north ,south west, south central ,east west ,south cenral, east central or corner center it makes no sense as long as your mother ties 2 wrappers & your COME means BIA, Guys lets use our heads.

OJ you are doing a good job through the Igbo Area TV! I am diaspora and constantly follow your blog (show). The White lady (alias - Nwanyi ocha) married to an Igbo young man is doing amazingly great in promoting the Igbo culture and tradition; she speaks igbo language and encourages his children to speak it, irrespective of the fact that none of them lives in Africa. I will suggest that if possible you can meet and interview to shame those who have the Igbo paternity and yet are denying it. Besides, people like Dr. Chike Ogeah might be covered one on one in your show to enlighten some people from Anioma, Ochimili, Ogbachi Ukwu, Ugheli etc who have bought into Gowon's plans and antics to tarnish the Igbo ancestry and growth.

Let the truth be told. Southeast 5 Igbo speaking states are very small compared to Southwest.To make a nation, SE needs more lands and people access to the ocean, which is why this campaign has been orchestrated by the mainstream Igbos to steal lands that don't belong to the Igbos. From the looks of things, Southsouth needs to fortify their defences because Biafra Republic will never see the light of the day if Southsouth issues are not addressed. Why? Igbo people are very aggressive people, and getting their independence without Southsouth issues being resolved will lead to war. Igbos' intention is to take control of Southsouth and Nigeria's government, will not make this possible.The attempt by Igbos to unite River, Akwaibom, Cross River, part of Delta, and part of Edo state and Kogi is to create an impression that Igbos communities are bigger and this will not work. It is a recipe for a disaster to happen in their so- called Biafra Repubic.The solution is that the Igbos should agitate for the Biafra Republic based on their 5 states. Pushing for other communities to join this union should not be through propaganda but by mutual understanding and national progress.
