Abagworo:i know Ezechime history more than you. For example, an Igbo man named Obinna left Owerri went to Ibadan, did business there for over 30yrs then reverse back and buy a land at Enugu and founded a community there with his extended and large family.. Does it mean that Obinna is now a yoruba man because he lived in Ibadan for 30yrs? Thats the case of EzeChime. 5 Likes |

Sadly,it does little to change things on ground. Most will still deny. Maybe this is a start. I see a certain Ogba man here shaking his head,I guess his people are still.... 3 Likes |

BankeSmalls: But the 1st time I checked it has been like that before our grandparents were born. It's just a phrase and should be seen as that. Reason is to differenciate from the interior clans. 1 Like |

Ugomba: You made it simple. Do you think he might not have taken Edo wives, friends and servants along? When you observe deeply the culture of Anioma you will see clearly Edo imprint alongside Igbo. Even East of Niger the Edo part still shows in names, title, festival and kingship system. 1 Like |

Abagworo:whether he married a benin wife or not means nothing. The few benin influence in Anioma came as a result of the Ancient Benin colonalism of some communities just like how Nigeria was quite influenced by the british colonial influence, does that make us british. And btw, Nri influence outmuscled the benin own in Anioma. 10 Likes |

The last Oba of Benin warned the ikwerres to stop claiming Benin in his book, "My Humble Self At Your Service". I have read that book. There is nothing that relate Ikwerres to benin, both in language, culture, food, deity, kingship, etc. The Ikwerres are Igbos. End of story cc: HopeAtHand 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Chiwude: Very lame analysis. There is no correlation whatsoever between that Bible parable and the Ikwerre situation. You can allow misguided elements like Ezepromoe to continue fanning Igbo optimism but i'd state it clear for all to note that long before the civil war, during and after colonial era, Ikwerre had through several medium sought a distinct identity from Igbo. The defeat of the Igbos in the civil war afforded us a window of opportunity to achieve our demands. To us, the civil war was only a means to an end. 2 Likes |

NwaTeacher1:Can you specifically tell me how Ikwerre is more Igbotic than Nsukka? Nsukka, Ikwerre, Ngwa, Ohafia, nkanu, mbaise, nteje, nando, and so on speak their dialectical Igbo language, after which we have a central Igbo through which we all connect. This is so in every language including Hausa, Yoruba and in even English language. Please don't type what you don't know about Nsukka next time. When it comes to the migration of the Igbos, it was at Nsukka,( the first place in the entire East) the Eri first settled before he took off and later chilled at Nri. 5 Likes |

Kenmatt:You're forgiven if this mistake was unintentional. But please limit that Eri story to your area, many of us southern Igbos see it as imposition when you try to force this Eri legend on our throats. We have our own history, our own folklores and migration and never had we any link to Nri. In my own part of Imo state, the story goes that our ancestors came from Isu, long before even the coming of Eri and his sojourners. 1 Like 1 Share |
