WHATEVER THAT IS CONVINCING YOU THAT YOU WILL FORCE PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE SOUTH EAST TO JOIN HAS CHEATED ON YOU BIG TIME.
"Igbo leaders, under the umbrella of Igbo Leaders of Thought, ILT, have demanded that Igbo communities in parts of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Benue, Cross River, Edo and Kogi states be included in a proposed united Igbo Region extending to the Atlantic coast, while calling for the suspension of the 2027 general elections until Nigeria's restructuring is completed."
I have friends in Edo and Delta who answer igbo names.
Let me give you an example Olilima Nduka Jeremiah . Jerry has been my long time friend from our university days.
He's from Agbor in Delta State.
He and all of his brothers have igbo names.
Back then in school I used to argue seriously with them questioning why they will be having igbo names and speaking languages very close to ours but they kept telling me they're not Igbos.
I couldn't understand it.
But today I am beginning to understand that you can't know their history more than them.
My neighbor is from Edo and all her children have igbo names .
But they tell me they're not Igbos.
Yes.
Even her child that's 9 years old .
She's always fond of me and whenever she comes to play around me I will jokingly say "Fechukwu the beautiful Igbos girl. You're growing so fast."
She would quickly say "Uncle Max I am not an igbo girl. I am an ....girl."
She will quickly correct me.
I have learnt to allow people to decide their lineage.
You're not the one that would tell them where they come from.
You can't know their history more than them.
Let me tell you what is driving this agenda of trying
Greed.
Those pushing the Biafran agenda know that the Biafra as a country is an impossible mission without those areas with coastal waterfronts and oil and other resources.
But unfortunately these people prefer to be where they're.
So deal with it.
