Mr Onyi says he is from Anioma but not not an Igbo man.

He could be right or wrong.

I can explain. https://twitter.com/Whisper2raw/status/1254182119166873602
Yes he has a bit of identity crisis.

Everyone does and it's fine https://twitter.com/Morris_Monye/status/1254283665745600519?s=19
To some, Igbo is a nation.
To some, an identity.
To some, its a mindset that they have acquired by carefully studying most especially people who were raised in the South East of Nigeria.

To some, it could be a conceived Republic or Country.

Everyone is partly right or wrong.
I will use several stories and tweet to help you or anyone identify an Igbo person anywhere you see one.

I have some Yoruba identifying friends I consider Igbo when I am dealing with them.

I have taken these friends as my brothers and sister because we have the same mindset.
As I write, I just stepped away from my PC, having Akpụ & Egusi Soup.

I just played Kedụ Amerịka by Chief Osita Osadebe, playing Ome Ka Agụ Ome ani by Gentleman Mike Ejeagha & songs by Ụmụ Obiligbo.

Back to PC again, play some rap and trap & do some programming practice.
So I am a Igbo man who want be a citizen of any country but Nigeria right now.

So Igbo is my culture and my first nation.

Nigeria 🇳🇬 is the biggest failed & failing country.

It is not a nation & won't be at least for the next 100 years.

I can bet more than a finger on that.
Igbo identifying persons are the most secretive persons.

Gaining their trust is easy and hard.

This culture and people were mostly severely damaged by Biafra Genocide that was lead by Yakubu Gowon and supported by Hausa, Yoruba, Benin and other tribes.
Igbo is the most political subjugated tribe in Africa.

They don't like to talk about their history or past before the Biafra Genocide.

And please all Igbo identifying persons should stop saying Civil War or Biafra War.

That was not a war. There was nothing civil about the war
All my grandparents & relatives has refused to talk about that genocide on a culture and people who wanted to secede, be a country of their own & lead themselves to prosperity.

Yes, it's that painful.

I have family relatives who are missing or forever displayed from their land.
