I just stumbled upon a tweet on how Aniomas (Delta Igbos) are not real Igbos and how we& #39;re discriminated against and I& #39;ll like to say my 2 cents on the issue.
As a child, I remember always saying I& #39;m igbo and how all the Igbos around me always disputed that, saying I& #39;m from Delta

We& #39;re not real Igbos, and what not. Sometimes I cried wheb they rejected me since all I wanted was to belong because we were taught the 3 tribes in Nigeria are Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa and others were minorities (I didn& #39;t want to be a minority). As I grew up, I started introducing

Myself as Ika, a minority group in Delta and I was happy to embrace it and finally belong, but then people started breaking me down again and started calling me Igbo. I became lost at this point, do I call myself igbo or ika and then it hit me, why am I so bothered about

What tribe to be called? Why should I be instigating a tribal war within me about where to belong, I can be Ika and Igbo at the same time. As long as I know my roots and where I& #39;m from other people& #39;s bias and judgements do not matter. What& #39;s the point of hating me simply because

I& #39;m from the other side of the Niger? Some Aniomas may never experience this, but for those who do, be proud of who you are. We& #39;re all humans and there& #39;s no need to fight each other over things like you& #39;re not igbo, you& #39;re Delta igbo. There are other more important things in life
