You're doing an excellent job nwanne. As Ogbueshi spoke of the name Ahaba, I recollect that there are many Ahaba communities in the South East...Ahaba village in Orodo near Owerri; Ahaba Imenyi in Isuikwuato; the Okporo Ahaba village in Ngwa etc. Other Asaba communities in the SS are Asaba Ubulu in Oshimili, Asaba Ase in Ndokwa. I'm not sure of the veracity of the "Ahabago m" theory that Ogbueshi postulates, but we can see this name emerges in various areas of Igbo land. Likewise, we see the Onicha name with Igbo in Delta state...Onicha Ugbo, Onicha Olona, Onicha Ukwuani. But, we also see many Onicha communities in the South East...Onicha Mmili- Anambra state, Onicha Ngwa- Abia state, Onicha Uboma- Imo state, Onicha Enugu Ezike-Enugu State, Enu-Onicha Nike- Enugu State, Onicha Igboeze- Ebonyi State, Onicha Uburu- Ebonyi State. Again, we're really looking at the same people on both sides of the Niger, despite certain peculiarities.
Thank God for Chukwu Ebuka Anozie Obi of Zion ministry that started this by asking people where do you come from? and some that had Igbo names said they’re not Igbo and he called ndi eririeri, and said Ohanaeze ndi Igbo you all have big work to unite all Igbos. And this started. Kudos to Ebuka Obi.
As I went to Nigeria, I truly was touched because for 3 reasons. 1) I came back to a land that no one wanted to go to. 2) I realized that the people in Asaba are super cool and 3) My wife although living Onitsha, she's from Asaba. It was a beautiful experience and I couldn't wait to be there again.
NNAAMEHNTV, I watch your programs and interviews regularly from the USA; from the ones in Opobo, Queenstown, Bonny, Isiokpo, Omuma, Egbema, and now Asaba. The Ogbueshi,of Asaba Kingdom that you interviewed in Asaba, recently, looks seemed very much and well informed about their Asaba, Onitsha and Nteje ancestry. With all the interviews about the Igbos, within the five States and other outlying regions, is it possible to document, and eventually publish a book on "that topic" of reuniting the Igbos? This is because a lot of us, especially myself would like to know more about Igbo heritage. You started a good topic and job that can bring the Igbos back together in the near future. Good job, and keep it up, nwa Mbieri. Dr. Darlington Egbu, USA.
Mr. Dr. Excuse me, Mr. Dr Darlingthing, your head is also not correct ooo! Your wishful thinking is dead on arrival already; why? You mentioned Onitsha in all this confusion the Igbos are having, anufia! Do you know that Onitsha is part of the Edo/Benin ancestry/heritage? Please go talk to the Obi of Onitsha or at least the chiefs, Ok? There is no Nteje ancestry or whatever in Onitsha except the EDU/Edo ancestry and please go and figure, mumu!! Una, please stay on your lane!!!
@@godwinonwudiwe ignoramus lol. Eze Chima was an Enogie. His grand son founded Onitsha after the Ona in Benin shifted royalty to Eze Chima second son since first son died before the father. Read Azikiwe book on Onitsha and learn your history! Azikiwe is direct descendant of Eze Chima and even until the civil war, Igbos don't accept Onitsha as Igbos. Same with Enugu who are descendants of Igala
Thank you bro for your hard work, but i want to ask our Igbo tribe to come together and unite, i don't really know why some are scared to accept they're igbo. How can someone speaking Igbo language will denied been an Igbo person, i'm still not understanding the reason. Igbos are great poeple, great tribe, great nation, denying been an Igbo is like denying been a great person.
obumneme IGBOKWE you will not understand what happened during the civil war. That war divided the Igbo race because the Fulanis and the rest of people in Nigeria where against the Igbos. A situation where everybody was against one ethnic group, some of them decided to deny their their identity to remain alive. it was that bad. if you know what the Igbos suffered because of that war, it is unspeakable. My joy today is that the truth is beginning to manifest. People have seen that the igbos have not done anything wrong.
It's better it's not even coming from or initiated by Ohaneze else the corrupt Yoruba press would have began their campaign of calumny, calling it politically motivated imitate to expand the south east geopolitical zone of Nigeria!!

from all the interview A to Z it's a prove a fact that we are one Igbo people infact igbos across the niger are more Igbo then Rivers. who are playing politics with their identity claiming they are from Bini when they don't answer Bini name. like wike 🤣🤣
I thought in Igboland, a child can't hv inheritance in d mother's family, d father owns d child. Abi d tradition don change? Women can own children now? Children r now frm their mother's family?
Pls get A History of the Igbo People ; Author, Elizabeth Isichei. It said everything you need to know about Asaba and Igbos that live around the River Niger this Ogbueshi is misinforming the Public.
Nnaa Mehn, your mumu nor too much? Why don't you go and interview the chiefs and ask why they wear the Edo/Benin attires? Go ask the king of Asaba and not these Igbos who migrated to Asaba! Oyioshi!!
It is obvious that from this narrative, this man is struggling to weave a cohesive story with strenuous effort. He didn't answer the question. He purposely avoided emphasizing the historic links to the Igbo. This version of Asaba history he peddled here is fraught with misinformation or was a deliberate manifestation of ignorance.
And where exactly is Nteje where the Asaba peoples still pay homage according to the Ogbueshi?? Its obvious you and not Igbo or hardly where Nteje is located presently.
I'm from Nteje the Ogbueshi is not far from the truth here's the belief and authentic history for those that care to know Nteje is from idah present day kogi state by venture of state creation originally idah was part of Eri kingdom before the( ogu idah) idah war and Eri kingdom collapsed aftermath During the war (ogu idah) many flew and established different communities in Anambra, Enugu imo, Abia, Delta etc.. Nteje and his wife Dunu with their three son Ezinteje, Ikenganteje, ifitenteje flew to the present location Nteje Aborgu. ok! Fast forward to the main topic Amupa one of the sons of ifitenteje the last born of Nteje was looking for a fertile farmland to cultivate yam as we are known for yam farming discovered Ahaba(Asaba) and established his farmland there and later met some Nzem fishermen along the Mmiri Omombara (present day onitsha or some part of Onitsha however ) and married one of their daughter and they gave birth to Nnebisi the offspring of present-day Asaba (Nzem is part of Anambra state by venture of state creation but igala by Ethnic)
The Ogbueshi's story is disjointed in relation to Nnebuisi being the founder of Asaba. Listen to him, first Nnebusis is from Nteje because his mother is from Nteje but Nnebuisi father worked for Eze Anyanwu. But Nnebuisi's father is from Igala. His parents are not from Asaba but migrants and cannot have founded Asaba. The original people are according to Ogbueshi are Obodo Achala and Eze Anyanwu. The Nnebuisi man might have achieved some success to earn him recognition but not the founder it is not clear if the Ogbueshi in his story is saying Eze Anyanwu and Obodo Achala who were met in Asaba by Nnebuisi parents - mother from Nteje a town in Anambra State and his father from Igala are migrants. It is nothing but misinformation and misleading. From Ogbueshi's story, it is not clear where the Igala man who is Nnebuisi's father met her, is it at Nteje or in Asaba? A more knowledgible man in the history of the town should be consilted for accurate story.
Yes, but that's because every Obi and his cabinet must get approval from your Yoruba Obas who came from Ile Ife with their Yoruba gods and goddesses like olokun, Ogun, Osun, Ifa, Orumilla, Esago, Ora etc. Even the Bini royal court were making use of Yoruba language back then. Oba, Iyase and the others are Yoruba names. What's the meaning of Ovbi Adimula?
@@ahkramokaa4508 they pay homage to the Oba of Bini, the Benin empire cover from onitcha to Eko n even some parts of Dahomey, and they all pay homage to the Oba...... The Benin empire is not Yoruba, we know our history n we don't fabricate stories like most ppl...... Don't say what u obviously don't know, u can't tell us our history, we are asaba ppl or Delta Igbo...... Know ur boundary.
If you were confident to interviewed omu of anioma. Why don't you do the same to interview the obi of agbor, obi of onitsha, obi of isee luku saying: "your majesty why do you still speak igbo when your ancestors is from bini". It is best to hear from the head because the beginning of anything start from the head. The head has the eye, the ear and the mouth showing that they know better, see better, and as such they would better enlighten.
The people of Asaba just want to have Igbo identity by all means. The story clearly stated that the father is from igala and the mother from Nteje and that the Nteje people rejected Nnebisi because he is not one of them. Asaba people are either from Igala or they are not
D same person they rejected & chased, they want him back 😅 Their culture says a child cannot hv a place, a say or inheritance in his mother's place. Now they r claiming d child. D man is a bastard according 2 Igbos, bcos his father didn't marry d mother. D child belongs 2his father who is an Igala man, so they shud leave Asaba ppl 4 Igalas
The Asaba people are from Igala by origin and the Igala tribe also igbos by origin, you saying that Asaba are not igbos should also remember about the Asaba massacre during the Biafran war showing that the hausas and the yorubas recognize them as igbos (part of Biafra) the entire Nigeria government classifieds them as igbos.
@@jonaschibudo4074 I dunno if Igalas r Igbos or not. But 4u 2say Hausa or anyone recognises dem as Igbo is a basis at all. Dat someone sees u as A doesn't mean u r A . In d South , most ppl think all Northerners r Hausa. Som ppl think d whole Plateau, Nassarawa, Benue, Kaduna r Hausas but in reality it's not true. So don't use dat as a basis 4 argument.
Asaba is made up of 3 people, Igalas, Igbos and Benins. Pls get History of the Western Niger Igbos by Elizabeth Isichie. That book will tell you more of how all the Igbo towns around the Niger came about.
Many of those Igala dwellers are still Igbos that spread in Kogi, Benue and Calabar. They're all Igbos. There's nothing like they're Benin. There are Igbo tribe that made up of Benin Kingdom and they migrated back to Onitsha when there was a crisis in Benin Kingdom. The only Igbo dialect left in Benin today are the Igbanke. There are also some group of Igbo that migrated from Ife to Benin kingdom and some migrated from Ife to Eastern part to settled.
@@anthonyemekanwosu5282 But d same family chased d child away ! Bcos d woman had d child out of wedlock, her family chased d son away. He went away and settled somewhere. Now his mother's family still lays claim 2him. How ? Supposing he died in d forest after he was sent away ? U banish someone, y still lay claim ?
The guy is very selective on who he interviewed. He had never interviewed people from the royal palace of obi of isseluku. He alway interviewed those who will alway support his igbonization agenda.
The danger with this is that we risk documentation of false and fabricating history as true and factual history. The biggest set back to igbo civilization and history is the complete lack of documented writing literature. This lack of literature explains the dark or void periods that created the intellectual gap that the current generation is endeavoring to fill.
You did hear when he said that asaba ppl resisted the benin control in asaba Benin are imperialists just like the british So u ppl just got the taste of ur own medicine when the british colonized benin
Every of our Obis and their cabinets from Anioma (Western Igbos) always come to your Yoruba Obas who came from Ile Ife with their Yoruba gods and deities like olokun, Ogun, Osun, Ora etc to take approval. Failure to do that will amount to invasion and destruction. Even your fellow Edoid group were attacked by the armies of Bini because they failed to come get approval. Ahaba Ibokwe has three foundation. The first human to settle down in Ahaba is Eze_ Ugboma from Achalla, Awka region. The second person is Eze _Anyanwu. He's an Igbo ritual specialist who is related to Eze_Chima. Nnebisi's mother who came from Nteje was a servant in his court. There he was impregnated by Onoja Oboni who was a slave raider/guest of Eze_Anyanwu. Onoja Oboni ran away, and Nnebisi's mother was sent back to her parents. Before the coming of white people into West Africa, every ethnic nationality has their own way of belonging to a family. In Igboland, out of wedlock kids(Ime_Mkpuke) belongs to the girls parents. You Edoid people have your own ways like Isomi wife etc. Nnebisi migrated back to Ibokwe when he became an adult, and start coexisting with the descendants of Eze_Ugboma & Eze _Anyanwu. This's why you hear names like Ugboma _Nta( Younger/little/small_Ugboma. That's why you hear us make mention of Ahaba Ibokwe, Obodo Achalla, Umu_Eze_Anyanwu. Do you people worship Soil The Earth goddess (Ali,Ala,Ani,Ana or Eli( Ani _Ahaba, Ani_Onitsha, Ala_Ngwa, Ali_Isokpo, Ali_Obu, Ani_Anam, Okani_Ali )? Do you people kill twins? Do you people eat humans, do you people kill infants whose legs appears first during child birth, do you people kill infants whose upper teeth appears first? Yeah, we have been living together, we borrowed some things from you guys because your Yoruba Obas forced us to do so, but we're not the same people, ok?? We don't worship the same gods, we don't have the same culture, custom and traditions. We don't belong to the same language group.
Great job but really don't agree with ur attitude towards ur researching!! Kindly try to find out more about (WHY) the reasons for not accepting the Igboness ok. I speak a language don't make me a native, actually with confirmations I was told as a kid much about what happened between the native Igbos and the rest south south folks. Even till tomorrow is still a severe crime to sell land for either farming or house building to an Igbo man Cuz they aren't welcome. Kindly accept us as we present ourselves in this issue Cuz nothing as you are chasing it, will ever change the damage/atrocities done by the native Igbos. German as a language is spoken in more European nations - Germany, Swiss, Austria, Liechtenstein, etc and still doesn't make/classified as Germans for ur information. However, keep up ur good research bro.
Old man distorting history,Iyase is Benin chiefs title name but you are denning Benin influence in Asaba traditions kingship The Benins establish Asaba throne which is similar to Olu of warri throne that's not based on first son hereditary.
Why are you speaking English and not Igbo? You are interviewing igbo people for igbo audience why are you speaking igbo? Who told you that igbos are not unified? All these individual unverifiable accounts of history may achieve the opposite of what you sort or intended. Igbo is content with all that identified with her. IGBO IS NOT A COLONIALIST LANGUAGE. some people in rivers say they are not Igbo yet they speak igbo, drink Igbo, and dress Igbo. The best unification tool which I advocate it's adoption is economic development and education .
I agree with some of your points especially the last statement/sentence. But why are you speaking/writing in English to criticize him for doing the same.? English is a very common means of communication and this video isn't just for Igbo people to listen to. Its a documentary and he needs as many views as possible too. We shouldn't always pick on the small issues when the bigger problems are facing us. I propose we come up with a bigger name to encompass all people/towns with strong Igbo or similar socio cultural identity/customs to create a much bigger union that is not political. Since clearly because of naija state politics some people will keep saying they are not Igbo just for the sake of the politics of their state and position/resource sharing. Unfortunately that's the level for now. So this new name eg 'umunnem' etc should be volunteer for anyone or town or sub tribe to join without duress. We have to find a way to stop this' I am Igbo or not Igbo' embarrassment.

He purposely avoided emphasizing the historic links to the Igbo. This version of Asaba history he peddled here is fraught with misinformation or was a deliberate manifestation of ignorance.
Probably you want him to claim that they migrated from Benin
And where exactly is Nteje where the Asaba peoples still pay homage according to the Ogbueshi?? Its obvious you and not Igbo or hardly where Nteje is located presently.
Because he didn't mention Benin LOL. Asaba is not Benin. Get out.
I'm from Nteje the Ogbueshi is not far from the truth here's the belief and authentic history for those that care to know Nteje is from idah present day kogi state by venture of state creation
originally idah was part of Eri kingdom before the( ogu idah) idah war and Eri kingdom collapsed aftermath
During the war (ogu idah) many flew and established different communities in Anambra, Enugu imo, Abia, Delta etc.. Nteje and his wife Dunu with their three son Ezinteje, Ikenganteje, ifitenteje flew to the present location Nteje Aborgu. ok! Fast forward to the main topic
Amupa one of the sons of ifitenteje the last born of Nteje was looking for a fertile farmland to cultivate yam as we are known for yam farming discovered Ahaba(Asaba) and established his farmland there and later met some Nzem fishermen along the Mmiri Omombara (present day onitsha or some part of Onitsha however ) and married one of their daughter and they gave birth to Nnebisi the offspring of present-day Asaba
(Nzem is part of Anambra state by venture of state creation but igala by Ethnic)
The Ogbueshi's story is disjointed in relation to Nnebuisi being the founder of Asaba. Listen to him, first Nnebusis is from Nteje because his mother is from Nteje but Nnebuisi father worked for Eze Anyanwu. But Nnebuisi's father is from Igala. His parents are not from Asaba but migrants and cannot have founded Asaba. The original people are according to Ogbueshi are Obodo Achala and Eze Anyanwu. The Nnebuisi man might have achieved some success to earn him recognition but not the founder it is not clear if the Ogbueshi in his story is saying Eze Anyanwu and Obodo Achala who were met in Asaba by Nnebuisi parents - mother from Nteje a town in Anambra State and his father from Igala are migrants. It is nothing but misinformation and misleading. From Ogbueshi's story, it is not clear where the Igala man who is Nnebuisi's father met her, is it at Nteje or in Asaba? A more knowledgible man in the history of the town should be consilted for accurate story.
Iyase and oliha is from Benin kingdom
Yes, but that's because every Obi and his cabinet must get approval from your Yoruba Obas who came from Ile Ife with their Yoruba gods and goddesses like olokun, Ogun, Osun, Ifa, Orumilla, Esago, Ora etc. Even the Bini royal court were making use of Yoruba language back then. Oba, Iyase and the others are Yoruba names. What's the meaning of Ovbi Adimula?
@@ahkramokaa4508 they pay homage to the Oba of Bini, the Benin empire cover from onitcha to Eko n even some parts of Dahomey, and they all pay homage to the Oba...... The Benin empire is not Yoruba, we know our history n we don't fabricate stories like most ppl...... Don't say what u obviously don't know, u can't tell us our history, we are asaba ppl or Delta Igbo...... Know ur boundary.
@@ahkramokaa4508if oba, iyase oliha are yoruba what is their meaning in yoruba.
@@goldynmark1799oba is a yoruba man, and he even wage war over yoruba who as his people abi
If you were confident to interviewed omu of anioma. Why don't you do the same to interview the obi of agbor, obi of onitsha, obi of isee luku saying: "your majesty why do you still speak igbo when your ancestors is from bini". It is best to hear from the head because the beginning of anything start from the head. The head has the eye, the ear and the mouth showing that they know better, see better, and as such they would better enlighten.
Obi of Agbor is a bit dicey and leaning towards benin yet bearing Igbo names, maybe Obi of Owa will be better to interview
This father like quarter too much 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Identity lost nawoo for Nigeria oo.
Igbo are the same culture
The people of Asaba just want to have Igbo identity by all means. The story clearly stated that the father is from igala and the mother from Nteje and that the Nteje people rejected Nnebisi because he is not one of them. Asaba people are either from Igala or they are not
D same person they rejected & chased, they want him back 😅
Their culture says a child cannot hv a place, a say or inheritance in his mother's place. Now they r claiming d child. D man is a bastard according 2 Igbos, bcos his father didn't marry d mother. D child belongs 2his father who is an Igala man, so they shud leave Asaba ppl 4 Igalas
@@ayebatarijuliapaxagiri2767 even the Igala tribe are igbos by origin go and read history well before commenting
The Asaba people are from Igala by origin and the Igala tribe also igbos by origin, you saying that Asaba are not igbos should also remember about the Asaba massacre during the Biafran war showing that the hausas and the yorubas recognize them as igbos (part of Biafra) the entire Nigeria government classifieds them as igbos.
@@jonaschibudo4074 Who is dis one ?
@@jonaschibudo4074 I dunno if Igalas r Igbos or not. But 4u 2say Hausa or anyone recognises dem as Igbo is a basis at all. Dat someone sees u as A doesn't mean u r A .
In d South , most ppl think all Northerners r Hausa. Som ppl think d whole Plateau, Nassarawa, Benue, Kaduna r Hausas but in reality it's not true.
So don't use dat as a basis 4 argument.
Asaba is made up of 3 people, Igalas, Igbos and Benins. Pls get History of the Western Niger Igbos by Elizabeth Isichie. That book will tell you more of how all the Igbo towns around the Niger came about.
Many of those Igala dwellers are still Igbos that spread in Kogi, Benue and Calabar.
They're all Igbos. There's nothing like they're Benin. There are Igbo tribe that made up of Benin Kingdom and they migrated back to Onitsha when there was a crisis in Benin Kingdom.
The only Igbo dialect left in Benin today are the Igbanke.
There are also some group of Igbo that migrated from Ife to Benin kingdom and some migrated from Ife to Eastern part to settled.
Oga I am from asaba and I can tell you that I am an Igbo man by birth and blood
No Benin in Asaba take note
Please no bini or igala in asaba. Carry your nonsense and get out of aniocha!
which one is benin again...where in Benin did they come from? Do not Tell me that EZE CHIMA is a BENIN MAN
A man owes a chill. Is father is an igala man. What do you still want to know? Asaba is an igala man.
Igala are Igbo by origin. There are Igbo tribes, villages and community in Igala.
Go read history about Igbo Igala origin.
Oga asaba people are Igbo people speaking from an indigene
U be bingo
the father wasnt properly married to the mum and thereby in igbo culture has lost all the paternity rights to ikwu nne
@@anthonyemekanwosu5282
But d same family chased d child away !
Bcos d woman had d child out of wedlock, her family chased d son away. He went away and settled somewhere. Now his mother's family still lays claim 2him. How ?
Supposing he died in d forest after he was sent away ?
U banish someone, y still lay claim ?
The guy is very selective on who he interviewed. He had never interviewed people from the royal palace of obi of isseluku. He alway interviewed those who will alway support his igbonization agenda.
introduce him to the royals....
@@anthonyemekanwosu5282 How did he introduced himself to the omu of anioma. He should use the same method that work for him
The danger with this is that we risk documentation of false and fabricating history as true and factual history. The biggest set back to igbo civilization and history is the complete lack of documented writing literature. This lack of literature explains the dark or void periods that created the intellectual gap that the current generation is endeavoring to fill.
The Truth is always clear.
It has happens already
Nlj9n
So tell me the origin of iyase and oliha which is corrupt to oniha you guys don't even know history of asaba.
Benin kingdom, and he was pushing the man out of the Benin part of the story and avoiding him from speaking about it
You did hear when he said that asaba ppl resisted the benin control in asaba
Benin are imperialists just like the british
So u ppl just got the taste of ur own medicine when the british colonized benin
Every of our Obis and their cabinets from Anioma (Western Igbos) always come to your Yoruba Obas who came from Ile Ife with their Yoruba gods and deities like olokun, Ogun, Osun, Ora etc to take approval. Failure to do that will amount to invasion and destruction. Even your fellow Edoid group were attacked by the armies of Bini because they failed to come get approval. Ahaba Ibokwe has three foundation. The first human to settle down in Ahaba is Eze_ Ugboma from Achalla, Awka region. The second person is Eze _Anyanwu. He's an Igbo ritual specialist who is related to Eze_Chima. Nnebisi's mother who came from Nteje was a servant in his court. There he was impregnated by Onoja Oboni who was a slave raider/guest of Eze_Anyanwu. Onoja Oboni ran away, and Nnebisi's mother was sent back to her parents. Before the coming of white people into West Africa, every ethnic nationality has their own way of belonging to a family. In Igboland, out of wedlock kids(Ime_Mkpuke) belongs to the girls parents. You Edoid people have your own ways like Isomi wife etc.
Nnebisi migrated back to Ibokwe when he became an adult, and start coexisting with the descendants of Eze_Ugboma & Eze _Anyanwu. This's why you hear names like Ugboma _Nta( Younger/little/small_Ugboma. That's why you hear us make mention of Ahaba Ibokwe, Obodo Achalla, Umu_Eze_Anyanwu.
Do you people worship Soil The Earth goddess (Ali,Ala,Ani,Ana or Eli( Ani _Ahaba, Ani_Onitsha, Ala_Ngwa, Ali_Isokpo, Ali_Obu, Ani_Anam, Okani_Ali )? Do you people kill twins? Do you people eat humans, do you people kill infants whose legs appears first during child birth, do you people kill infants whose upper teeth appears first? Yeah, we have been living together, we borrowed some things from you guys because your Yoruba Obas forced us to do so, but we're not the same people, ok?? We don't worship the same gods, we don't have the same culture, custom and traditions. We don't belong to the same language group.
@@ahkramokaa4508 keep on lying and blowing rubbish history
Obi has no relationship with Yoruba obas
@@Factwithced3473 I guess you have issues with understanding English language, right??
Dis man no no anything
Great job but really don't agree with ur attitude towards ur researching!! Kindly try to find out more about (WHY) the reasons for not accepting the Igboness ok. I speak a language don't make me a native, actually with confirmations I was told as a kid much about what happened between the native Igbos and the rest south south folks. Even till tomorrow is still a severe crime to sell land for either farming or house building to an Igbo man Cuz they aren't welcome. Kindly accept us as we present ourselves in this issue Cuz nothing as you are chasing it, will ever change the damage/atrocities done by the native Igbos. German as a language is spoken in more European nations - Germany, Swiss, Austria, Liechtenstein, etc and still doesn't make/classified as Germans for ur information. However, keep up ur good research bro.
This is ambiguous,please name the communities in the South south where this is the case?,who are the native Igbos you are the talking about?.
Old man distorting history,Iyase is Benin chiefs title name but you are denning Benin influence in Asaba traditions kingship
The Benins establish Asaba throne which is similar to Olu of warri throne that's not based on first son hereditary.
Why are you speaking English and not Igbo? You are interviewing igbo people for igbo audience why are you speaking igbo? Who told you that igbos are not unified? All these individual unverifiable accounts of history may achieve the opposite of what you sort or intended. Igbo is content with all that identified with her. IGBO IS NOT A COLONIALIST LANGUAGE. some people in rivers say they are not Igbo yet they speak igbo, drink Igbo, and dress Igbo. The best unification tool which I advocate it's adoption is economic development and education .
it's not necessary for him to speak Igbo cos most people who are not Igbo or who may not speak Igbo but are Igbo can understand
Who told you it’s for only IGBO AUDIENCE???
I agree with some of your points especially the last statement/sentence.
But why are you speaking/writing in English to criticize him for doing the same.? English is a very common means of communication and this video isn't just for Igbo people to listen to. Its a documentary and he needs as many views as possible too. We shouldn't always pick on the small issues when the bigger problems are facing us. I propose we come up with a bigger name to encompass all people/towns with strong Igbo or similar socio cultural identity/customs to create a much bigger union that is not political. Since clearly because of naija state politics some people will keep saying they are not Igbo just for the sake of the politics of their state and position/resource sharing. Unfortunately that's the level for now. So this new name eg 'umunnem' etc should be volunteer for anyone or town or sub tribe to join without duress. We have to find a way to stop this' I am Igbo or not Igbo' embarrassment.
Start the project my brother no body is stopping you bro
Ur doing a wonderful job
All the so called south south but lost children and ignorant elders should learn from this man
