I see that you have edited some of my grammar and included the links - but my original points have been maitained. I just wanted to point out the fact that the ethnicity since the british is political in Nigeria. New nations were created by the british to reduce igboland and due to their lack of understanding, and continued with nigeria after the civil war. Hence the 250 or so ethnicities.

We the igbo have started believing the propaganda of who we are - from what the intellectuals and leadreship spout in the web, news paper,etc. Whlist the other ethnicities are trying to grow nations using falsehood by stealing  ethnic igbos by reclassifications, we the igbo can not even use historical data to prove who we are in terms of land and cultural borders.

A point that your edit missed is that people who have changed their name to non igbo family names to english or islam are still ethnically igbo. Their culture is still igbo. And that igbo cultural may vary sligthly from one clan to another.

But I feel that your edit of my input got the gist.
