Your moniker is "ugwuoke", you claim to be an igbo man and you want to learn your "history" from omonnakoda a Yoruba man whose moniker means "igbo man is bad"
You should be ashamed of yourself.

You should be ashamed of your life for not seeing the sarcasm in my post.

the analogy is too far removed.

Ikwerre/Igbo is more like Spain/Portugal. The seem the same when viewed from afar but very dissimilar when viewed very closely.

We are simply neighbours sharing some form of language and cultural similarities.
Except that Spain and Portugal are both countries while Igbo and Ikwerre are just areas in the same country which btw are contiguous with each other.

If ikwerre ain't Igbo, then ngwa ain't Igbo, waawa/nsukka ain't Igbo, onitsha aint igbo, abiriba ain't Igbo......nonsense

NDRepublic:


I again, refer to your lack of intellect which is similar to that of other IPOB youth. You lot are fond of making noise without backing your frivolous claims with historical evidence. Same reason your Biafra illusion remains an Illusion.

Anioma people have ancestry to the Ezechime descendants. Ezechime is correctly known in Igodomingodo (Benin) as Ovbi Ikhime, a Benin migrant that left Iduu (Benin) Kingdom after he committed an offence punishable by death. He founded many other communities in Anioma some of which are Asaba,Okpanam,Ibusa, Issele-Uku, Issele-Mkpitime, Issele-Azagba, Onicha-Ugbo, Onicha-Uku, Onicha-Olona and many more.

The geographical position of Anioma land exposed it to the social influence of Eastern Igbo hence there are similarity in names and Language. Note that Anioma people of Ika bear both Bini and Igbo names. Their language has both Benin and Igbo words.

When the Republic of Biafra was declared as a secessionist State from Nigeria by Ojukwu, Anioma was not included in the maps of Biafra, instead the declaration only claimed Onitsha, a part of Anioma community now lost to the South East.

In the 2007 election, Prof. Pat Utomi {from Ibusa}, whose wife is from the East, went to OHANAEZE to solicit for support for his presidential ambition. Chief Orji Uzor Kalu also went to solicit for his too.OHANAEZE rejected Pat Utomi even though he thought he was part of Ohaneze. Infact One of them, according to some daily Nigerian newspapers’ reports, hankered abject adroitly: “Is he really a proper Igbo man? Look at him; he cannot even speak Igbo properly.” Others even insinuated that his name did not sound Igbo”.

Please argue with facts and stop claiming what is not yours. As to the case of Utomi, when the odds are in your favour, you come up with excuses as to why the Anioma man is not Igbo but when it may be against you, you claim Anioma, Ikwerre etc as Igbo
what a resounding stupidity. JAMB 2016 1 What is the ancestral language of Anioma people A EDO B Yoruba C Enuani D hausa
2 The name Ezechime can be traced to which dialect A idoma B chinese C urhobo D Igbo
3 Ukwuani, Aniocha and Oshimili are obtainable in which of this dialect A hausa B Igbo C bini D yoruba

They generally say they ain't Igbo and were the main people to claim abandoned Igbo property ,something that did not happen in Lagos or the West.
to my mind that means they ain't Igbo. Why would Igbos claim Igbo property as "abandoned"

Who was the abandoner and who was abandonee. Where did the Abandoner go?

Don't forget Obigbo, later changed something else.
When a town calls itself Obigbo, the heart or heartland of Igbos, then you know what they mean!

Ugomba:
you should know that the civil war did a lot of psychological damage especially at Igbos losing the war.
So being Igbo (immediately after the war) attracted many marginalizations, coupled with living beside the Urhobos, isokos, ijaws, itsekiri, bini etc who had an anti-Igbo grudges.
So some Efulefus had to deny being Igbo to be seen and accepted as a Proper Deltan by the other tribes..
Its a civil war hangover.
We Aniomas are proudly part of the Igbo Nation ..
Recently, Pat Utomi joined Ezeife in Anambra for Book launch on Ojukwu.
Tony Elumelu was in Enugu as a guest speaker in Enugu economic summit. Etc
We know our root.

Tony barcaster, and other Ijaws like him will miss their sleep tonight.

dont make it seem like its an awful thing being Igbo. Igbos do not neccessarily need Ikwerres for anything. We do not also need Igbos.

And anyone can form any group and make statements on its behalf. Ogbakor Ikwerre decides our socio-political direction.
ikwerre is an igbo word. ikwerre from all indication are igbo people.

Scholes007:
To me I support any Ikwere man that says he is not Igbo to his claims. Also I support those that claim they are igbo. But the problem here is Non of them should claim the other is wrong.
bro,we the igbos and proud igbos who love our language, names and culture are saying if ikwere and anioma are denying being igbo should first change their igbo names, culture and language then we can believe them.

ikwere and anioma in igbo means

ikwere - do you agree?
Anioma - good land.

PaulkillermanAg:
Ikwerre is not Igbo, NEVER,

Useless story from useless blog, BTW, that name credited to this stupid story is not known in Ikwerre
we the proud igbos are not claiming ikwere,all we are demanding is that if ikwere don't want to be proud Igbo they should stop bearing igbo names, culture and language. ikwere is even an igbo word.

ikwere - do you agree?

Why shouldn't the topic break your heart when you guys plans for we Niger deltans are failing as the day goes by, anyway as for me and my household we are more Igbo's more than some villages in the south east.

Take it or leave it,that one concern you.

ikwerre mekao!!!!
I really doubt you are ikwerre. But if for any reason you are, then you rrally need history lessons. Start with the Rumuomasi declaration in 1965.
