How The Igbos Emanated As A Tribe by franchizy(m): 11:38am On Sep 22, 2013

Fellow Nigerians I think it is worthwhile to let us know how the igbos emanated as a tribe. The IGBOs are merely Ikwerres of Rivers state who migrated from Port Harcourt to the different parts of the South East states which we have today during the days of our forefathers and as History can tell us today.
The whole areas in Ikwerre land in Port Harcourt were overflooded with water because of the great tide from the Atlantic Ocean and for this reason many Ikwerres migrated to a safer land were they settled down, had children there and now decided to give a name to the place to enable the colonial masters recognize the area and develop it.
In 1902 sir Alvan Ikoku, Loius Ojokwu, Nnamdi Azikiwe, papa Achebe, papa Mbakwe, they all return to Port Harcout there original home town but unfornately for them the flood still persisted and they had no choice than to return back to Ngwa land, okigwe, Ohafia, Abriba, Ngor Okpala, Abakiliki just to name but a few.
The colonial masters attention were drawn to these areas after it had a name and an interin Head, a British was sent to Rule the place temporary.
In 1904, the flooding in Port Harcourt ceased and some noteable indigenes then started farming and fishing which attracted the colonial masters to the area and it was massively developed.
So many of our sons of Ikwerre land who migrated returned back and hearing the names of there brothers like Amadi, Anayo, Okechukwu, Chidinma, Chioma, Udo, all Ikwerre names, they went back to there areas of settlement and started naming there children Ikwerre names.
I want Nigerians to know today that the IGBOs are Ikwerre by tribe and that is why they are minorities in Nigeria as the main Ikwerres shifted ground to become Ijaw and Niger Deltans.
I remember how the Oil wells in Egbema and Oguta of Imo state were given as a gift by the Omaraelu people to them to enable them ve a source of living and attract foreigners to the area.
I also remember how the Iriebe and Oyigbo, Afam, Ndoki people of Port Harcourt also gave some oil wells to the Owaza and Asa people of Abia state as a gift to also attract foreigners.
Little wonder why the igbos answer same names with the ikwerres and why the igbo language has a similarity with that of the ikwerres.
If not for the greed of the igbos who never appreciated there ikwerre brothers, the ikwerres would not have closed down there seaports and borthers during the civil war that claimed so many igbo people lives due to hunger.
In conclusion, Nigerians can now see why the igbos are minority in Nigeria, why an igbo man cannot rule this country.

Nwa nne m, You have spoken well, Our SE brothers needs not argue much, we know where we belong, we know our history and won't let anyone rewrite it for us with their Yoruba journalism like they've been doing for ages. Since we came in here and countered people who open id.oitic threads like "Anioma is not Igbo", "Asaba is not Igboland", that nonsense has abated, stumbling on one of those silly threads made me a NL member.

I once suggested to the Yoruba on this forum to write to Gen Achuzia or Okonjo-iweala and explain to them why they are not Igbo through their Yoruba newspapers like The Nation, National Mirror e.t.c

Do they deport Igbos without deporting Emeka from Asaba and Elechi from Igweocha (PH)?. They've enjoyed the monopoly of press for too long, it is no longer Uhuru for them, they should start seeing the handwritting on the wall. We also have firepens, and will be waiting to make them eat their words.

They keep shouting SE stop forcing yourselves on the SS!..nonsense. Very hilarious, like the Political Gowonic boundaries they created in Igboland starting in 1967/1970 can sustainably erase our ethnic consciousness.

When they talk about kidnapping they conveniently sandwich the SS/SE together. Start a discussion about crude oil, you see them running helter-skelter looking for knives and attempting to cut Igboland in the SS and SE into pieces. . Jesters and Comedians!

Well, as Anioma of the SS we know where we belong, for every atom of hate they have for SE Igbos, they spare none for SS Igbo. We've read about the Asaba massacre during the war.

The ball is now in the court of the Ikwerres on this forum, will they allow Yoruba press to rewrite their history for them?

It all depends on them.

Imagine this man trying to tell us where we came from angry

Igbos came from timbuktu to alaigbo, fleeing the amorites/amalekites aka fula/arabic invasion of the old ghana empire. Igbos are the real hebrews in the bible. Nigerians are canaan and egypt. This history is really simple to prove. Why do we have some of the highest population but some of the smallest land, between the Niger-Benue confluence and its flanks. Listen Igbos, Yorubas are part of the people that had and sold our people into slavery; when we were running from the amorites/amalekites. Our so called culture cover the spectrum of cultures along the canaanite states of the so called western Africa. And our dance styles look like that of the sene-gambian region. Igbos are hebrews that fled Europe to cathage and timbuktu; and fled the old ghana empire during fula/arabic islamic conquest. On our route to Alaigbo, some were captured by some canaanite states like mende, FON, OYO kingdom, benin kingdom etc and sold as slaves. We didn't all take the same route. Some came through the OYO-IFE-BENIN route. Some through the REP BENIN-IJ0 and REP BENIN-CALABAR route. Some through the BENIN-IDAH route. We are all the same people though, but some of us have different cultural exposure prior to Igboland. Ofcourse there are many impostors too, claiming to be us. In Nigeria, the yoroboids are your worst enemies. Internationally, white people (European race (edom)) are your worst enemies. Above all, you are your worst enemies; because you are worshipping your own enemies and their images. Nigerians are all over the world now, claiming your heritage. Especially Yoruba. Claiming that the same people that they sold to Europeans are their own people. What kind of rubbish lie is that. They use cultural references for all these, but the truth is that Igbos lived in those areas and were tributary to their kings until they decided to sell us. We have nothing in common with Nigerians. Without us, Nigeria would be as useless as their other African counter parts.
