That word 'Anioma' what language is It? Is it Yoruba or Hausa? Or Congo? 'Nwanoye Okongwu' sounds like panya language to you right? Onuku.

I thought she was 100% Igbo from Delta state. So only her father is Igbo while her mum is from Niger state. That's ne to me.

@Benjamin Nwagbogwu

I'm from Ogwashi-Ukwu. I have a simple question for sick "deniers" like you. Was Chukwuma Nzeogwu an Igbo ? Because his action caused a lot of problems and tragedies to us and to the larger Igbo ethnic group. I can say the TOTALITY of Igbo people's problems and position in Nigeria today came from Nzeogwu's actions. Have a closer look at the position of the Igbos in Nigeria before Nzeogwu's coup and after, till today.
.
Lest I forget, Onitsha people and affiliates on the other side of the River Niger are also Anioma people.
