Because of the Ekumeku war by the Aniomas and the 1966 coup all by the same Delta Igbos the British and Nigeria developed hatred for the Igbos.
This hatred by the British has lingered till date putting the Igbos at a disadvantaged position politically In today’s Nigeria. The 1966 coup on the other hand led to the massacre of millions of Igbos In the north which was followed by a three years bitter war.
Today, Same Igbos In Delta are the ones denying being Igbos leaving the Igbos in south east to bear the consequences of these actions.
This post is not to apportion blames but a wake up call/ Reminder to Igbos in Delta that most of the things suffered by south east Igbos today were never by their making but that of Igbos in Delta.
— Chukwuma Kaduna Nzogu is from Okpanam in Delta state, he led the 1966 coup which was tagged Igbo coup” Igbos in south east suffered for it but never denied being Igbo but the community where Nzogu comes from denies Igbo.
— British dispises the Igbo because Igbos in Delta gave them tough times via the Ekumeku war, Igbos in south East suffered and still suffer for it but have not denied Igbo rather the Igbos in delta who fought the war deny Igbo today.
It is time the Igbos in delta pause , take a deep breath and ask themselves some questions; bearing Igbo names , with Igbo culture and tradition but deny Igbo when the going is good only to accept being Igbo when the chips are down is Evil and should stop.
If you are igbo be igbo at all times, and if you feel you are not one chage ur names, culture and community to that which you claim, South Eastern Igbos have suffered too many times for crimes they never committed.
