This is exactly the point you new generation Ikwerre are missing why because you refuse to travel to other parts of Igbo land and mingle to know what's difference between Igbo clans, few that has traveled refused to ask their fathers questions like how come other Igbo clans don't speak the same dialect yet are proud Igbo unlike Ikwerre. Enugu state and Ebonyi state has uncountable dielects that we in Anambra find very difficult to understand until they use central Igbo, why is Ikwerre different? Your fathers told you lies that Igbo speak just one language and this one is "Ikwerre" brother travel and see that dialects in Igbo land is as numerous as languages in Nigeria, not to talk of abia state dialects, they can explain better.

I'm speaking as a neutral, I think ikwerre ppl are igbos based on what I've heard from friends from that area and from articles I've read. It's just a dialect in igbo. Like in Yoruba land, we have ijebu dialect, ijesa dialect, egba dialect, okun dialect etc its only when u use central Yoruba to speak that all these ppl speaking different dialects will understand one another.


E.g an ijebu man will not flow well with an okun man using his dialect and vice versa but the two understand central Yoruba wella.


I'm convinced ikwerre are igbos. You cannot run away from your shadow.
