@OP - I have 4 questions for you & your people. 1.) If the Igboland is not landlocked; Y can't Igbo business men be shipping & clearing their containers at Anambra, Onitsha or even Enugu through the so-called Uguta Lake instead of congesting the Lagos wharf for us? 2.) If there is Oil in Imo, Ebonyi & Anambra; Y then do the Igbos want to kill themselves over the recently discovered Oil in Kogi? And Y are the Igbos always laying claims to Rivers & Delta States Oil as theirs? If so, Y can't they confront & challenge Asari Dokubo & Tompolo over the Oil in Rivers & Delta respectively if truly it belongs to the Igbos? Abi the Igbo are scared that Tompolo will not hesitate to wipe out the entire Igbo population with his newly acquired war vessels? 3.) If the Igbo' calender is indeed accurate, Y did they abolish it & chose to adopt the gregorian calender? 4.) Y do the Igbo wear Yoruba Agbada & Hausa Baban Riga but the Yoruba and the Hausa do not ever wear Igbo National Dress? Answer: It is not far fetched. The Yorubas cannot wear the Igbo National Dress simply because the Igbos always refer to them [generally] as Amala & Ewedu people, Yoruba & betrayals of Biafra & Ojemba Ojukwu, while also trying to dominate them & steal Lagos from them in addition to calling them cowards. The Hausas also cannot wear the Igbo National Dress simply because the Igbos refer to all of them as Terrorists, Almajiris, Boko Haram, Pedophiles and most importantly because they support Goodluck Jonathan in his 2nd term bid even when most of their region & people are being bombed constantly by GEJ's faction of Boko Haram [otherwise, how would explain the Alimodu Sheriff's recent exoneration by GEJ & Henry Okah's confession on the October 1, 2010 Bombing in Abuja]? Note: I have answered the 4th question for you, but kindly answer the remaining 3 questions politely. Pls let us be civil & not engage in tribal e-war as a result of my questions because this is a New Year. Gracias! 6 Likes |

Deltagiant: I will answer your question when your paid education is enough to defend your claims of those areas mentioned in the article because Igbo language is mostly spoken there. Your inability to decipher the context of my statement leaves me with no option than to consider you a non conversant. |

1shortblackboy: they actually drowned. Its not a myth but fact. They believed if they journeyed by the way they came they will make it back to their ancestral lands....they rather die than become slaves. There is a monument built in their honour in Virginia, USA. Their symbolic action represents the indefatigable spirit of the present-day Igbos. Its d same spirit behind d declaration of Biafra. 2 Likes |

Hehe, i don't know where the Op and the main Op got there info from. Am an ikwerre boy from rivers state as far as am concerned am not an igbo man and i'll never be, same to my children and even to my 10th generation. The igbo's should get this into their head and wrap it well, we a'int part of you guys what is hard there to understand. K, fine we were once with you guys but things went south(biafra war) and we gained our independence,chased, disowned, and severed ties with you guys so let us be. Why our forefathers did this i don't know but am pretty sure it was for our good. So when we say we are not igbos leave us alone else it might precipitate an unhealthy situation. So get that history of yours about ikwerre's being part of igbo and shove it up your bottoms.

Zoharariel: Another rant... You want a civil discourse yet your approach to the question is mischievous. You want answer to question 1, yet you call it "so-called" lake? You want answer to question 2, meanwhile you already identified us as wanting to kill ourselves for oil found in Kogi... I did not bother highlighting other irrelevant parts of your post, you and I know it adds nothing to what the OP posted.. Who is deceiving who... I'd prefer you keep your questions to yourself than make a mockery of your newly found knowledge. 5 Likes |

lacasera14: Bros stop fighting now JUST TELL US YOUR NAME AND LET US FIND THE ORIGIN AND MEANING OF YOUR NAME AND WHICH LANGUAGE IT CAME FROM. BY THE WAY WHAT IS THE MEANING OF IKWERE IN YOUR LANGUAGE WHICH LANGUAGE IS IKWERE NAMED WITH OR WHAT IS ORIGIN OF IKWERE TRIBE. IF YOU CAN ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS SUCCESSFULLY, WE WON'T FIGHT. SECONDLY, YOU THAT IKWERE PEOPLE WERE ONCE IBOS BUT HAVE GAINED INDEPENDENCE. SO THEREFORE YOU ARE NOLONGER AN IBO. That's like a son who says his father is no longer his father and still answers his father's name every where he goes If IKWERE people are truly not IGBOS then they should stop answering ibo name and further morE they should change their language from IGBO. THE TRUTH IS YOU CAN'T CHOSE YOUR ORIGIN JUST AS YOU WiLL CHOSE A WIFE OR HUSBAND NEITHER CAN YOU CHOSE YOUR LANGAUGE. GOD CREATE US, CHOSE WHO WE WILL BE, WHERE WE WILL COME FROM AND WHAT LANGUAGE WE WILL SPEAK. We can do nothing about it. IKWERE PEOPLE ARE IGBOS #TALKWITHFACTS# 8 Likes |

1. The last question summed it up.. ..what a disgrace. 2. Igbo from South Niger?! Small time now some Igbos will claim they own South-South. (Tompolo dey await una) Later, others will claim North Nigeria is a no man's land. (Shekau go kiss una yellow asses.) Lie lie writer from the village square. |

Chiwude: I'm of the opinion that the Ikwerre ARE NOT Igbos. Of course, i dont have any physical or material evidence to point to. But looking at the history of relations between them and considering how aggressive Igbo expansion is, its safe to say dat d ikwerre were originally a non-Igbo speaking tribe assimilated through trade, interaction and inter-marriage. Secondly, d nature of the Ikwerre is very distinct from Igbos. They lack initiative, industry, are spineless, and downright lazy. Which explains why the Igbos assimilated them with ease leaving no record whatsoever of their original language. The reason why they chose to separate themselves is because they are still bitter over the loss of their original identity. Deep down they know they are nothing like d Igbos and are afraid of Igbo dominating them. 10 Likes 1 Share |
