I always get stupid comments/questions as "Neddy, shey you be Delta?
Why you dey carry Igbo matter for head? You be Delta-Igbo not Igbo".
Honestly, am fed up of the stupid thinking of both the so-called
"Delta-Igbos" and the "main Igbos".
Foolish people, all of them!
When a Fulani man is from Gombe state in north-east Nigeria, he doesn't say,
'am Gombe-Fulani' or 'am north-east Fulani'.
Likewise, a Yoruba from Kwara or Kogi, would never say, 'I'm middle-belt
Yoruba', he just says "omo o'dua lemi".
These people claim brotherhood beyond the imaginary boundaries of state and
regions but encourage you to divide yourselves along those lines and you all in
unmatched foolishness agree to be divided and even fight to be addressed as
such.
Please, Nzeogwu, yes Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, is from Okpanam in
present day Delta state(then mid west before it was in Bendel). Okpanam, is a
neighboring town to mine, Ibusa(anglicized Igbo uzo). However, it is well known
that his coup was led by an Igbo man, being himself.
During the genocide, Asaba, another town bordering mine in the present day
Delta state, was deprived of men, they were all gathered and slaughtered. Why?
Simple, they were Igbos.
While you run about claiming Delta-Igbo, other Nigerians know you as Igbo
and should the tribal card be played, would treat you as one, but when they
want to deceive you to get something from you, they say you are Delta-Igbo, and
you foolishly swallow their crap. Dumb-wits!
Those ones across the Niger always want to feel like heroes of the genocide,
thinking they were the only ones who paid the price of lives to keep this
contraption breathing.
All because of things told them by others as the Yoruba led press and the
Hausa/Fulani led governments.
Igbos, think, i say, think!
When the troubles in Ukraine started, why was Crimea annexed by Russia? I'll
tell you, because they were native Russians. That is the oyibo wey una dey
worship, still clinging on to tribal sentiments and brotherhood across borders,
into another country.
Let's not even mention Israelis or Arabs, or even Italians and Irish people,
they all regardless of their passports and the country it carries, know and
accept first, that they are natives of their tribes. Should there be need for
whatever, they already know whom to side with in such events.
Albeit, the Igbos fight and deny their selves to the benefit of their
enemies and to their common detriment.
The Urhobo, Ijaw, Itshekiri, Isoko and all these riverine tribes in Delta
state see me as Igbo, ask Ifeanyi Okowa, the current governor of the state, he
will attest, they think we don't belong with them.
We in turn distance ourselves from our cousins across the bridge and are just
forming "anioma" (which isn't in any way bad if the reason is to
remind us of our roots and not to cut those ties).
Somehow, ours is far better, as the population is split 60-40 in favor of
people thinking as i do.
The Ikwerres, are a lost people totally.
Next time, when i talk about Igbo things, if you have nothing meaningful to
contribute, just shut the hole in your face and say nothing, don't even
exercise your writing skills in waste, because i know my roots and I'm not even
faintly ashamed of it.
I will be addressed as Delta-Igbo only when we begin to have and adress
people as middlebelt-yoruba and northeast-fulani.
Daalu!
