But even more curious was that Obasanjo skipped Peter Odili for Goodluck Jonathan in 2007 primarily for 'being Ibo'.

Peter Odili is not of Ikwere origin.

Says a Yellowba man deep inside one bush in Ondo state


My mom is from obiokpor I literally grew up in Rivers State


All these their madness started after the war

Because they wanted to claim abandoned properties they even went as far as adding R- to every word like R to ụmụ Okoro to rumokoro after the war



You YellowBa propagandists are being bursted everyday the premier of eastern region was Micheal Okpara that shows this news paper was doctored by one jobless SW!ne in ogbomosho

You fake ass prop

Firstly, you could not even spell Obio Akpor so I assume you are in one okpa shop in Abakpa typing none sense.

Your miserable parents that told you about‘abandoned property’ forgot to tell you that they were brazen thieves who were stealing other peoples land and developing same with stolen government money. They were sharing government money as ‘loan’ never to be repaid, only to Igbo people through ACB. Go tell them to tell you the truth.

Just take your fable to your ipi.g newsfeed because that is where it would be swallowed hook, line and sinker.

Ikwerre at no time in history ever identified as Igbo.

Ikwerre in 1958 before independence, was at Willinks commission along with other minority ethnic groups to demand that they did not want to remain in the same region with Igbo people. In 1965 two years before the war, Ikwerre people made what is today called 'the Rumuomasi declaration' where they also clearly stated that they are not Igbo. At the onset of the war, Ikwerre leaders were among the minority ethnic groups that sent a delegation to Ojukwu to make it clear that their desire for a separate region from Igbo people had not changed. Ikwerre has never being Igbo before, during and after the war. You can only continue fabricating stories but it is only only your igbo people that will buy as it it can not change anything.

I guess you're more ikwere than Amaechi right?


I was actually waiting for someone to bring this up.

If Amaechi claims to be Igbo, what about his community? Does it now make his hometown Igbo? Does it also make everyone from his place Igbo?

Is Amaechi now the mouthpiece of his people on this issue? Because he made that claim, will his people automatically become Igbos?

Just to let you know, that claim by Amaechi was politically motivated. I don't want to go too far, let me update you with an event that happened just last year.

When he appeared before the Fulanis to appeal to them about his presidential ambition, he said it clearly that he's not Igbo.

How many bombs did FG drop on Ikwerre during the war?


Anyways, Ikwerres are Igbos (mostly), agreed

The wahala is when you equate being Igbos to being part of Biafra


That’s where the vawulence always begins

Biafra is the major cause for Igbo denial, most of those SS Igbo deny their Igbo identity to avoid being included in another ill-fated Biafra war adventure but most Igbos pretend not to know this.Ikwerre man is cool with Igboman until you bring the issue of Biafra.
If Ngwa clan for example is carved into Rivers state or Akwa Ibom state in a boundary adjustment in the next few years they will deny their Igbo origin for same reasons.

No. The point of this thread is to promote and enforce this propaganda.

Find out from your forefathers who were already mature men with family before the time in question and you'll know the truth.

The painful thing about this propaganda is that it's being peddled by a tiny and irrelevant group of Igbos. Not even up to 0.01%.

Most of Asaba people are proud Igbos and not Igbophobic unlike Ikwerre folks yet there are still some that deny their Igbo identity.
As I said what triggers Igbo denial is Biafra nobody want to pass through all that again.
Culturally and politically people of SE and SS have no issue but once the issue of Biafra comes up they will cut ties with Igbo.
That is same thing that made Wike deny Igbo in national television.

90% Igbo inhabitants, yes; but does that make it an Igbo town? If Okota is 80% inhabited by Igbos does that make Okota and Igbo town or an annexation?

Their grouse here according to what I read is that the they ‘deserved to be consulted’ on the state creation but you have chosen to twist the story to promote your narrative

The IBO's mentioned there are the Ikwere ibos.

You Yoruba's are always angry to see Igbo's reunited with their brothers in other states.

This clearly shows Ikwere was Igbo before the war.


The man was saying that Ibos of the Eastern region are not opposed if PH was included in a proposed Rivers state. That the people against the inclusion was the PH branch of Ibos. And that they have the right to be against it because they constitute 90% of the town. Incase you don't know the 'Ibo' that constitutes 90% of PH, that's Ikwere! The other 10% are ijaw and ogonis

So clearly, Ikwere protested to Zik that they don't want to be included in a Rivers state. The headline on the newspaper simply means that since PH township comprised of Ibo, Ijaw and Ogoni areas, that it can't be called an 'Ibo' town even though they constitute 90%, but a town belonging to all Rivers people.

Ikwuere from history is an Anex of Benin town, so is some part of onitcha and itsekiri kingdom and Lagos island if they claim they are not igbos, from ancestory they are right. It was the Benin people that caused this controversy by not allowing conquered territory to speak their language. Believing only pure breed Bini's should speak the language. This is we're this controversies arise from.

I hope you're aware that D.K Onwenu was Onyeka Onwenu's father? The popular legendary female musician? She was his last born and once stated that they lost their properties in P.H after the war.

I don't really blame Nigerians for putting a wedge between us and Ikwerre people, such things happen after a war. However, I pity the Ikwerre people that encouraged it and even promoted it till date. They will pay back someday, even if it's next 50 years!

The future is very clear. With our human resources and gas, we will always be good. Then we will channel our maritime activities towards Akwa-Cross to Abia-Imo.

Then we will see what their bragging rights will be about. I see ijaws claiming half of p.h in the coming years. They're already doing so gradually.

The fact South South region has some type of Igbo heritage does not make them 100% Igbo.

But then fast forward to present day.....what do you expect after a horrible experience of civil war caused by political miscalculation of Ojukwu, who have known and done better by avoiding that route.
The Truth Remains no South South man is comfortable being in Nigeria under this system of government but yet Biafra is never the solution to solving Niger Delta problem Rather (100% Federalism).
Allow the people of Niger Delta control their God giving Natural Resources.
This is not Nigerian crude oil....Its called Niger Delta crude oil.
Niger Delta is coming.....NLNG alone can feed the entire Niger Delta.
