Can you imagine the tribalism and chaos that would consume these European nations (overlaid with the map of Nigeria) if they were to be "forcefully amalgamated" into one country? The true size of Nigeria's problems.

My appeal to Ndi Igbo is: if someone who isn’t from the Southeast but speaks and bears an Igbo name says they are not Igbo, please for heaven’s sake let them be and respect their decision. It’s not by force to be Igbo. The embarrassment and insult that comes with forcing them to accept they are Igbo is not worth it.
@Igwevumma Igbo that has been in existence for hundreds of thousands of years. Kemet existence of 6026 is even a Bible narrative from the creation of Adam of Eve. Kemet is as much older as other African race and civilization.
Slight additional context: Ekwensu was a chaos god, a god of destruction. Towns in Pre colonial Igbo land usually invoked it during war times to help fight their enemies but the problem is that it often demanded constant blood sacrifices and many expensive rituals to contain its chaos and destructive energies. Failing so, the towns themselves experienced the same thing unless they cleansed their town of it, which took a lot to do. By the time Christians came and started talking about Satan, Ekwensu was the closest thing they could imagine it as, and so the name stuck.
Do we have ISU clan in enugu State? Because as it is we are about to roll out the history of IGBO.... You can't be from Obele Nwa IGBO and be calming capital of Alaigbo.
