    Ohaneze ndi Igbo leadership should cover their faces in shame. They were in their usual state of stupor till God Sent MNK to unit his peoples and bring them home into one fold, the IPOB family. He is such a great man.
    Do you know that the founder of my community Akokwa, in present day Ideato North LGA of Imo state of the Zoo, migrated from Cross river according to the History of the Town? But i have continued to wonder why we are Igbos yet our forbearer was a man from Cross river state. Now i can connect the dots. He must have come from one of these Igbo speaking cross river communities you know!! Makes more sense now.

    Are they igbo? Did they accept to be called igbo? The language they're speaking isn't igbo.

      Isobo is Igbo indigenous to cross River state.. they are not the only indigenous Igbos of cross River state.. Osopong ward 2 in Obubra LGA is purely Ibos which includes Izhi, ikwo and isobo... Osopong ward 1 equally has Ibom people which are Izhi, yala LGA equally has Izhi people in southern Ukelle.

      I listened to them, and noted that the language they speak is Igbo. Igbo has numerous dialects, which is evident even among the Igbo people in the South East.
