When talking about Igbo people, most people often referred to the people of South Eastern Nigeria which includes Abia, Anambara, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo states.

But Igbo is like “akwụkwọ ụkpaka” they spread throughout southern Nigeria to the Niger-Delta and northern Nigeria.

Experts on the origin and origins of the area explain that Igbos have a population across the Naija River where more than 25 percent of Delta State’s population is said to be Igbo.

Similarly in Rivers, Cross Riva, Akwa-Ibom and Bayelsa are among where you can find Igbo people, Igbos in those areas share many things in common with Igbos in south east, these include language, culture and fashion. This simply means that “ọbara anaghị agha ụgha”. these show that blood does not lie.

5. The Biafra war Some Igbo denied their Igbo root because of loosing of civil war. We loose the war, despite it was declared no Victor no vanquish.
   The war claimed the lives of over three million people. As people who loose the war,is hardly for people to identify with you.
   “Onye dara ada enweghị onye na-ekwe na ọ bụ nwanne ya” “After the war, the Igbo people suffered a lot and contracted a disease that caused them to be ostracized.” 2 The creation of a state It is during creation of the state that federal government use the opportunity to split Igbos and ceded them in other regions, with these act and removal of history from Nigeria schools,it makes many igbos to denied their origin. Examples: Some towns like Amaezekwe, Umuoghara, Amaekka, Umuezeokoha, Umuezeoka, Oriuzor, Umuoghara are not eligible to be in Benue state but are assigned to Benue state.
   The Ado, Oju, Obi sub-igbo Towns in Benue state is an independent Towns before whites came to Nigeria Recall that to ensure that Ojukwu was weak at the beginning of the Biafran War, then-Nigerian President Yakubu Gowon created 12 states and three regions in Nigeria, on May 5, 1967.
   Through this creation of States.
   The way in which the Igbos used to live together as brothers in the “Eastern Region” are divided.
6. Legend Story Many Igbo people in Rivers do not believe in the sacraments associated with the Igbo people because of their ancient stories. But some Igbos in the Rivers and some Delta states say that, they migrated from Bini in Edo state to where they now live. “If your region has nothing, in common,with Igbos,then Igbo people will not say we are brothers.” Remember Igbo have Igala in their State and as their neighbours but they have never claimed that Igala are Igbos. Mana e tere ogiri, e tere ụgba we respect everyone choice, despite the fact that we share many things in common,some people in these areas still believe that they are not Igbos, and referred to other ethnic groups as to where they came from, their language, culture and drama show that their blood is Igbo. without any doubt. In other for we the south eastern Igbos ,we need to contribute to restore our Nation Biafra or Igbo Nation,then a lot of these tribes will be begging us to accept them.

A particular group in the so called Niger Delta, is trying to dorminate Igbos in the region,why most of the Igbos there could not read the hand writing in the wall.
