Dear people of Nigeria.
Dear people of Nigeria.
Igbos are not claming River state .
Igbos are not claiming Edo state.
Igbos are not claiming your benue state, igbos are not claiming Kogi state.. Igbos are not claiming any part of your land.
I want you to understand the simple truth today..
As an Igbo man .
I grew up and learnt from my fathers that we Igbos value and regard brothers, uncles, cousins, and so on..
I grow up and leanrt that Igbos value their brothers and maintain family lineage…
I grow up and noticed we maintain our blood lineage.
I don’t know about your own tribe
But my own tribe doesn’t forget their blood outside their own land…
As long as we have Igbo community in your state , they are our brothers.
State doesn’t define a people…
Somebody from River state has a tribe
When you ask me were are you from I will tell you river state but when you ask me which tribe am from, I’m from Igbo tribe of River state..
Even if you like shift my community from Nigeria to Cameron I’m still an igbo man
State or country doesn’t define a people
..
We were in existence before the creation of state.
Before you created those states our ancestors were Igbos not rivers..
It’s an insult to call a full grown man a river man.
An Igbo blood won’t tolerate such an insult….
You can come from river we come from God chukwu okike abima.
He is our creator
You can come from river from fire from air
But igbos comes from God
Our first father aro chukwu came from God.
So we belongs to God ..
That’s why we bear names associated with God not associated with demons.
We worship only God.
We are not demanding your land. Or dragging your oil or whatever claims you may have.
But all we are saying is that we have Igbo communities there and we love them and won’t leave them behind even if you create 1 million states and share all Igbos into other tribes
We still recognize our lands and our brothers …
