0monnak0da:You are right bro. At least Igbos bear chukwu ebuka , Emeka but ikweres will want to copy that same name but in different styles something like Emeka for Emeke Chima for chinman. Those names are fakes |

0monnak0da: Since you more interested in what happens in other people's land and more concentrated in studying the geography. I will rightly put it to you to look inwards and harness the potential of your people and that of your immediate surrounding. Don't be overly dependent on survival by games.. Even the best countries in world continues in search and quest on how to be better. |

Do you know that Rivera people are not sure where they are originated from. Imagine I meet one guy called onyebuchi short form( Buchi ) and I ask him where are you from, to my surprise he said from warri |

Congrats Wike, we have enough dialects in Igboland to worry about whether Ikwerre is Igbo or not, I don't even know why people still bring up this argument, it's getting boring abeg.. 1 Like |

I started taking note of this division from that episode and I have met several people there after whom I assumed to be Igbos but told me they aren't even if they bear Ebuka or Amarachi. However, you need to understand that this phenomenon of people rejecting some tribal/ethnic identities to which other wrongly give them is NOT restricted to the Igbos. It occurs through out Nigeria and indeed all over the world. It never ceases to amaze and amuse me when young Igbos on Nairaland become angry at such rejection (possibly as a form of unpalatable hangover from the unfortunate civil war). In the North, several tribes exist that we assume are Hausa because they speak the Language and practice the cultures of the Hausa people. These peoples are quick to tell those who care to listen that they aren't Hausas. However,the division is not a big deal in the North largely because the shared Islamic identity superceed ethnic identity as a password to entering different strata of their society. midnighter: |

Not necessarily sir. There several thousands of such people in Nigeria. You see ethnic identities are largely self-identities. People who identify as members of a particular ethnic group are those who are WILLING to be identified as such. It doesn't matter if it's based on shared ancestries, just by shared cultures ,assimilation or in most cases a mix of all these. External people can NOT define the identities of any group of people.

oyatz: 1. I never asserted that the phenomenon is restricted to Igbos. 2. Such phenomena occur among different ethnic groups for different reasons. So for you to single Igbos out for querying this issue in particular doesnt make any sense. If something happens concerning a tribe, the members of that tribe have the right to discuss and talk about it. The occurrence with the north, the Kogi Yoruba, the Arabs and Amazigh, the Arabs and Kurds have all happened for totally different reasons so saying that youre amazed and amused on that basis makes no particular sense. 3. Hausa language is a lingua franca in the north; those tribes have their own native language plus hausa language that they speak on top of it to make communication easier. Down here, English is the lingua franca; we bear English names and speak English to communicate with different tribes even though we have our own native languages so that example bears no relationship with what we are discussing here, like I was saying in point (2) 4. The bolded is exactly my point; we are not experiencing any Islamic hegemony down here, in fact Igbo people are marginalised the most so what is the relevance of that example Unless youre trying to say that some Igbo people came and dominated Ikwerre people to the point where they couldnt remember their own language again then the example youre giving is totally irrelevant. 1 Like |

Sweet heart, different strokes for different folks. The histories, political evolutions and worldviews of different tribes are different, so what they take to be important will also be different. It seems Igbos need more populations/lands through irredentism, Hausa-Fulani have gained this large population through a complex mix of cultural assimilation, religion and conquests. The Yorubas have coalesced into a single formidable group through trade and Empire building. Before British colonialism, the Igbos didn't build centralized large States. Their level of political organization didn't go beyond the village level. Each village operated independently of the other. The Hausa-Fulani and the Yorubas on the other had pre-colonial Empires, City States, large kingdoms and Confederations of small States which brought most of their people under centralized political authorities and promoting a sense of nationalism. 1) There are several Nigerian languages that have gone into extinction especially in the North. E.g Tangale and Ajawa languages in Bauchi State, Gamo- Nungi in Bauchi State, Bassa-Gumma in Nigeria Start. These people switched to Hausa Language but it doesn't mean the people disappeared. 2) All over the world new tribes emerged from previously existing tribes. E.g Seminole tribe of Florida= Native American Muscogees+ Black skaves. Aja People of Benin Republic= Yoruba+ Fon/Ewe Ikwerre= Igbo+ Ijaw+ Bini Itshekiri= Yoruba+ Edo+ European traders 3) We need to do away with the use of ethnic groups as a mean of climbing the social ladder in Nigieria. People should be judged by their individual attributes instead of tribal affiliation. midnighter: |

pazienza: All this is just post civil war politics. Prior to the civil war. The area that is known as Ikwerre land was part of the Igbo territory known as the Diobu. They were divided to Umu okoro, Umu ibekwe, Umuola, Umuodara and one other clan(can't pronounce the name well). The area known as port harcourt the native name is igweocha so it is sad that people because of politics of division decide to abandon their identity. I was at port harcourt eight years ago and i was at an Ikwerre village and i was shocked at what i saw the village is not different at all from a typical igbo village. Every house has an Obi which is the same in a typical village in igbo heartland. I kept on asking my friend an ikwerre man and he said my brother it is because of politics. Even when the British came they actually studied the igbo and concluded that there are three classified territories where the igbo occupy 1. Midwest Igbo( stretches from Agbor to Asaba - i believe the Anioma territory is there) 2. Core central igbo(after the River Niger from Onitsha and the northern boundary at Nsukka and Abakaliki,Afikpo axis down to Arockukwu at the eastern boundary with the ibibio). 3. Niger delta or Coastal igbo(From ikwerre and Andoni who share boundary with the Kalabari and Ijaw people). It is high time Ohaneze starts an igbo renaissance so that we can be united as a people and stop this political division. 4 Likes |

Osagyefo98:The language Ikwerre people speak is African. It is not Jewish or Hebrew. From your claim of Hebrew origin it is clear your migratory populace stole our language from us. Valid argument. Ikwerre people only occupy just four local governments in Rivers State. They are not even a state. If you want to compare achievement or whatever face the Hausa and Yoruba they are your mate. Land sales are everywhere. Even in Iboland. |

obynzo:Bros please stop this nonsense. Your Ibo people were on a colonization drive against the Niger Deltans before the war. The Ikwerres had been suppressed and their identity almost changed. It was not only them. Your Ibo influences spread even to far away Calabar Area. Ibo language was taught compulsorily in school. Your influence was not only felt in south but also in far away north and west. The mistake of your overzealous tribe in engaging in war caused you people to lose all even your conquered territory Ikwerreland. Bros please don't provoke Ikwerre people with this history please. |
