So I stormed this post which gave one of the most vivid account of the Ikwere and Igbo Saga, although I sensed a little Bias, generally I think there could be some element of truth. On the most part the article did state that Ikwerres are Igboid and that the Igbo identity is artificial, While It maybe realistic to classify the Ikwerres as Igboid (Maybe against their wish), to opine that the general Igbo identity is artificial to me is a little bit of a case. What is your opinion.

Ye ndu

There is a lot of truths to that

The word "come" in the Ikwerre language is "Bia"

If you ask any Nigerian which ethic group says "Bia" as come, what will they tell you?

There sub-groups of the Igbo nation from Ngwa to Nsukka to Wawa to Ohuhu to Diopka to Ika to Asa to Ikwerre

They all have one ancestral language called Igbo and their ancestral surname is Igbo and thats they are all generally called "Igbo"

While the things you said above could be the case, it is the reserve of a people to decide who they are, while Nigerians and the world sees Ikwere as Igbos, they themselves does not and that's where the whole identity crisis

They can chose to be Fulani... who cares!

Yoruba have succeeded in dividing and confusing them...

Ibadan express journalism....
If in this generation you're still contending where you're from then you're irrelevant to people you're contending it with.
There's culture, language, DNA are the simplest means of identification but South West prefer using Nairaland because of oil.

Im a black man. Im free to tell the world that Im a white man but people will always will always go with the reality on the ground.

Any Ikwerre can claim to be anything from Japanese to an Afghan, but as long as you open your mouth and speak Igbo as your ancestral language and bear an Igbo ancestral surname, even Japanese and Afghans will laugh their heads off

There is a much of facts to that

You guys should stop this ikwerre stuff, you can't force them, they are not even what this energy you guys are depleting here online, just two local government areas, we have more important and respectful igboid groups, please they don't have anything to offer

Fully endorsed.

The ikwerre people may continue to do everything humanly possible to deny their Igbo heritage but the truth is that other nigerians will forever politically see them as igbos.
