‎The Omu of Obio Kingdom, Aniocha North in Delta, HRH Omu Onyebuchi Okonkwo, has asserted that Anioma of Delta state are Igbo people but some of them have failed to identify as Igbos in Nigeria.

‎"If I go to Lagos or Kano and introduce myself as Onyebuchi, what would I immediately be addressed as?"

‎"The Yorùbá would call me ‘ọmọ Igbo’ and the Hausa would call me ‘nyammiri’. How then is it that I’m from somewhere else? Outside Anioma, our people claim Igbo benefits and even lead Igbo unions abroad, but once they come here, they lie through their teeth and deny their identity"

‎She blamed the 1967 to 1970 civil war for the identity crisis of the Anioma people in the state. Okonkwo said that the civil war was one of the worst things to have happened to the people of Anioma.

‎She encourage Anioma people to proudly identify themselves as igbos, noting that no matter how anyone lie and deny their identity, their name, culture, traditions, and spirituality would always be a marker.
