The Ikwerre people are not Igbos, period.  Right from about the 16th century, the Igbo has been in touch with Ikwerre (through slave trade, Arochuku activities, goods trading, hiring of labour for farm work, marriages and politics) and had always wanted to dominate, colonise and take over Ikwerre at all cost and by all means possible.

This is natural especially where the dominated people (Ikwerre) are better endowed than the colonising power (Igbo), coupled with the ever tendency of a bigger group to swallow a smaller one and whenever the latter refuses, the former resorts to cheap propaganda. That is exactly what people like Naijaking are probably are bent on doing to Ikwerre, here on NL.

We are watching you people and your misinformation will be exposed once identified.

naijaking1:

I go die laughing-o-o

Have you just noticed that writting something nasty about Igbos draws internet traffic to N/L(and thus higher revunues) the same way s.e, x.x sells everything on TV

Mallam, there you go reading upside down again
A people that calls theit own Obigbo, names their sons Amaechi, odili, Nwike, and Okoro are not Igbos, but Hausa? Right.
How do you say dan iska?

Don't worry, Igbos will not swallow Ikwerres, but Boko Haram will, and soon too.

One_Naira:

GBAM!!!!!!!!!!.
I'm not sure if the OP is Igbo or not, na him kno, but na true talk you come dey speak
All the pretending is becoming too much that it is starting to look pathetic.
I actually just saw someone with an igbo name for account but yet insulting Igbo.  Do you notice all the Igbo pretenders always claim to be from Anambra when asked.
Then we have those claiming SS and do you notice, all the pretenders always claim to be either from PH or Warri and once in a awhile Edo comes into the mix.
Originality no dey for these one oo
Na wa oo!!!

slam7000:

Enough of these nonsense,if they say that they aint igbos,so be it.its nobodys business,we have a lot to worry about and these shouldnt be our worries.this is becoming very embarrassing,when its not ikwerre,it,ll be [b]asaba [/b]and ogwashi uku people.then some silly story about igbos and jews.They said they are not igbos and they are not.end of story.  

joe george:

that's just the point. its not by force and it is not prohibited either who gives a damn what name they answer why is this an issue

okpurukata:

I really wish Ikwerres in d house can react. I live in PH and have many friends who bear Okechukwu, Eberechi, Nkiru etc. But will always deny Ibo even when they speak Ibo. Its rather funny.

Toaskarity:

People should know something about igbos, Do you know in anmbra state alone that Onitsha where i grew up dont take themselves more brotherly to awka people where i went to high school, instead they relate more to ppl in asaba. Even people near my town relate more to imo state ppl than my own town. Am i to talk about the way they speak! I find it hard to understand real awka guy when he/she is talking fast . Tho abakiliki is igbo yet how many anambra igbo understand them.

To us is an issue either u are igbo or not yoruba man will never answer other tribe name is impossible,so why is it different with igbo names? or is it claim our glory anytime they feel like? abeg they should find bini names or shango names, names plenty,igbo names is not for show Cool some people now use igbo names to acquire many things if you dont no

Word on the road is that Ikwerre don't want to associate themselves with Ibos because Ibos are LOSERS

You lost the war dammit

I don't blame them, I wouldn't if I was in their shoes - you lost the WAR

afam4eva:

It's funny how people who say that Edos who don't speak a drop of Yoruba are Yorubas but think that Ikwerres who speak Igbo, have Igbo names, eat Igbo food are not Igbos. Go and tell people like Julius Agwu, Tonto Dike, Duncan Mighty, Monalisa Chinda that they are not Igbo and be ready to receive an Oyedepo slap.

dayokanu:

For the first time in your miserable existence, you make sense

Igbos, whats with all these attache by force, Earlier this week it was Edo now its Ikwerre

Even if Enugu says they are not Ibos, its their choice, if Ibadan says they are not Yoruba, no be by force

I believe Igbos and their kinsmen in Rivers (Ikwerre, Ndoni, Emohua, Igbo-etche and other Igbo communities in Rivers has so much ties because bulk of these people in those area has either their great grand mothers originated from the core Igbo areas.

Thereby making it impossible for any geo-political demarcation to separate these two people or entities from being one. Even down to Opobo and Bonny Isl. of Rivers, speaks Igbo fluently just like every other Igbo man elsewhere.

I found this out from a colleague of mine here in the Fed. Min (Awka) who is eventually from Bonny, he speaks Igbo so fluently that he even corrects us on certain Igbo-grammatical errors when we speak. So its like that in most Igbo speaking regions.
