English is a name of Anglo people but today Normandy Saxons and other tribes in England are called English


So find another gist

chrisxxx:

They may not understand the language. Secondly they do not have common ancestry.

chrisxxx:

Go to England if you have not been there you will see that these people contend they are not English. They have their own language. However they have imbibed English for ease of understanding with other people.

yorubas can't just help smelling like yorubas. You don't need a good sense of smell to detect that their odoriferous characteristic afonja smell from 100 miles away. They just can't help it . No matter how long they pretend.

Uche Okwukwu is irrelevant in Ikwerre politics. Besides, the freedom of association is his fundamental human right. He can belong anywhere. It is of no consequence to anyone but himself.

Ibo is Ikwere. How does it sound?

"They were busy adding "R" to their towns to make it less Igbo, when the most logical thing to do was to hire Bini language lecturers and teachers to teach them their long lost Bini language that they dumped for the current Igbo one they speak, and rename everything in Bini Language.

They tell you they speak Igbo because Igbo colonized them, you ask them when did Igbo colonize them, they tell you in the Eastern region.
You remind them that they were already speaking Igbo before the colonials came to Nigeria. They get angry with you and start cursing you.
Then you ask them, why didn't the smaller groups like Ogbia, Ogoni, Andoni, Eleme, etc in the East lose their language to Igbo language in the Eastern region.
They tell you that it's because Ikwerres intermarried and traded with Ndiigbo, you remind them that Ndiigbo also intermarried and traded with all ethnic groups in the defunct Eastern region.

They get furious and start calling you land grabber, oil thieves, etc. And you wonder the link between your question and their replies.

But you forge ahead and ask them, why can't they drop Igbo names and language they currently speak and use and replace it with the old Bini one, they claimed their Bini ancestors spoke.
They get livid, and curse you, and when the cursing subsides, they tell you that their language is not Igbo, that it's Ikwerre, that it's similar to Igbo, but that it's not Igbo. They also tell you that Portuguese, Spanish and Italian languages are related, but that they are not the same, and that the people don't claim each other.

Then you remind them that Portuguese, Spanish and Italian languages are products of Roman colonialization of those places, they all originated from Latin, the language of the Roman conquerors. And you remind them that Igbos were never empire builders and never imposed lgbo language on non Igbo speaking groups in the past.

They get mad and curse you more. They remind you that their lands produce oil, and yours doesn't. They tell you how Igbos tried to take PH and Ikwerreland away from them.
You start wondering the link between their reply and your questions.

But you still want to probe them more.
So, you ask them, that if Ikwerre people migrated from Bini, and were not colonized by Igbos as had been established in previous argument, how then can Ikwerres claim that the current language they speak, is not Igbo language, when we know that Bini people don't speak Igbo language, and no iota of Bini words exists in the current Igbo language dialect Ikwerre speaks.
They get apoplectic, and promise to rain fire and brimstone on Biafra, and tell you that Igbos are wicked land grabbers, hell bent on re writing Ikwerre history.

In the end, you realize that you can never have a logical and rational discussion with an Ikwerre man suffering from identity crisis, and that any time spent arguing with him, is a time wasted"- Pazienza

what is epoc about all that giberish ?

Ohanaeze is a voluntary organisation. Barr. Uche is a known maverick fellow. Don't use him to gauge the feeling or belongings of others. Any Ikwere man who says he has no connection with the Igbo people might not be saying the truth. However we contend we are not Ibo. We surely have common ancestry. Portuguese and Spanish sound similar. But we all agree that Portugal is not Spain. Why can't we understand this here?

unclejb2:
Ewu Congo. Ikwere is Igbo. Stop making yourself sound so unreasonably pathetic

I have been to Elele in Ikwere LGT many times. Elele people proudly embrace their Igbo identity so Im not surprised that Uche Okwukwu ran for Secretary General of Ohaneze. I think that the Ikwerre/Igbo identity is more in places like Isiokpo and Emohua. There are many Ikwerres who believe they are Igbos and there are many who dont regard themselves Igbo, to each their own.
