And who is to say those names are not Ikwerre names which Igbos have borrowed. What evidence is there that Ikwerres did not exist before Igbos?

Amarabae:
and what if oduduwa was a bini man and the yorubas claimed him? what if bini people existed long before the yorubas?

aribisala0:
I do not think it is an unreasonable theory ,one has to be open minded. I personally think there may be some truth in it. It is foolish to believe that the peoples in Southern Nigeria are not somehow related historically

ezeagu:


Ikwerre and some Anioma disassociate with Igbo because the Igbo people cannot strategise and stand for one clear goal in Nigeria. There are no Igbo leaders that would reach out to them to strategise, instead all you have is Igbo playing by Nigeria's divisive regional politics and calling themselves "south east" as if all Igbo speaking people are in the "south east", anybody outside of the "south east" does not strongly identify with Igbo, how would they when the "south east" doesn't see them as Igbo.

Whats the hatred there.

myplaydiary:
Tonto Dikeh, Julius Agwu, Duncan Mighty to name a few.

Amarabae:
Who exactly are the ikwerres sef? if they want to be called ikwerres, then so be it.
The only problem here is that they have to drop Igbo identity like Name, dialect, culture etc and get their own inorder to be distinct.

One question my eboe friends can never answer. During the so called abandoned property saga no property was seized in Lagos. It is not our character. In fact it only happened in Ikwerre land.So when Ikwerre did that were they displaying Igboness or Ikwerreness?

myplaydiary:
Mr man shut up and stop making a fool of yourself on this thread, Ikwerres didn't take Igbo properties Ijaws did and they could only do it because it was back by the government. So shut up and stop making a fool of yourself.

Now tell me what you have to say about all the Igbo businesses that Lagos state government have been destroying.

aribisala0:

You will shut up permanently before your time. Every one knows it was the Ikwerre so stop deceiving yourself

GrandGarcon:
You should not have answered the fool, Even if the Ikwerres took Igbo Properties, if they stop it, we will still forgive them, they are our brothers and sisters, should we become enemies because of that tragedy orchestrated by our super enemies? No! they just want us to continue the so called quarrel because it then gives them the opportunity to keep on dividing US.

And who is to say those names are not Ikwerre names which Igbos have borrowed. What evidence is there that Ikwerres did not exist before Igbos? When people are neighbours they share a lot in common.
Arabs and Jews

Ibrahim Abraham
Solomon Suleiman
Jacob Yakub
Joseph Yusuf

So who owns the names

Igbo's, there is no better time to promote love and unity amongst ourselves, ohanaeze at the helm of the current President is promoting unity, peace and economic progress across Igboland. Let's support Ohanaeze to promote and sustain unity across all Igbo borders and stop being petty on Nairaland.

Saying Ikwerre denied being Igbo is not totally true they simply chose to be identified as Ikwerre, it does not change their Igboness? Please Igbo's let Ikwerre maintain their identity. We have Idemili, Ngwa, Nnewi, Aro, Nsuka, etc. The Ikwerre identity does not make them any other tribe but our brothers with the Ikwerre title in Rivers, Simply put Ikwerre wants to be recognized as Ikwerre in Rivers state, mainly for political gains.

Igbo's abroad do it, they deny Nigeria for economic gains and survival but come back home to develop their homeland. It is simply a survival technique adopted by Ikwerre's given the situation they found themselves in old Rivers state coupled with the aftershocks of the uncivil war. However many would want to argue that it has gone to far, Yes, because they have that identity now but does that stop them from being our brothers.

Even, when a father disown a son he still keeps his ear to the ground to hear news about him and silently prays in his heart that it is well with him. Igbo's watch and see Ikwerre will not be the ones fighting on this thread, those who will fight us on this thread for preaching unity amongst ourselves are the same people benefiting from the fallout, they want the status quo to remain so that Ikwerre's strength is tamed and Igbo's Economic progress is cut short.

Igbo's sa nu asa na anya.
