The grandfather & one of the earliest known #IgboDeniers is the acclaimed Ikwerre Writer from Aluu – Elechi Amadi (He schooled in Yoruba land & was a Nigerian soldier during the war).
He went to the Oputa Panel in 2004 & told the whole world that Ikwerre is not Igbo.
Later day Igbo Denying apostles include a certain Henry Okelue (@4eyedmonk) who is only known on Twitter where he claims that Anioma or Delta Igbo are not Igbo.

The question is this. If Igbo bụ Igbo, what is the motivation of these #IgboDeniers? The simple chief answer is this. “Failure is an orphan”.

This is a thread of some of the notable people who fought (and died) on the side of Biafra.
Some of them weren't EVEN Igbo.
But they believed in the cause and gave everything to it.
Will start with: General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
President and Leader of Biafra.
