Historically there never was strong brotherhood between Igbos outside their clans before Nigeria was created

I know but you need to stop this boastful attitude. You are really not very bright.........honestly

pls shut up if you have nothing tangible to say! Thankz.

HopeAtHand:


Your answer to my question isnt top notch. Maybe u didnt get my question as i intended. Im asking why Igbo, after being rejected and denounced by Ikwerre still cling on to brotherhood with us.

Igbo have termed Ikwerre as Lazy, unproductive, underachieving, landsellers, draught players, ogogoro drinkers, womanisers, etc.. Why should Igbo need such a people amongst them. What tha hell is the Igbo motive in all this.

what you're saying in essence is that Igbos denounced Ikwerre people first? well i am just hearing that on nairaland. probably you should stop taking anti-ikwerre comments on nairaland serious. No real Igbo man will spite his fellow Igbo like that.

Forget what Ikwerre impostors say on NL, no real Ikwerre man considers himself Igbo.. Its almost an abomination to us.

Access to sea is the Igbo motive in all this.

Watch how a particular tribe in the South will call these youths IPOB youths.

Nnamdi Kanu has succeeded in uniting the SS and SE.

The descendants of the fallen angel in the South won't like this news

I've condemned that angel to perdition

So let us see the contents of the load that worries your neck all day

Owerri

Owerri was founded about the 14th century by our founding
father Ekwem Oha.
His mother's name was Arugo.
He fled from Umuori Village, Uratta in Owerri North Local
Government Area of Imo State when his life was threatened
by his younger brother Ndum. The threat to his life arose
from the dispute over the sharing of the Funeral Cow
slaughtered when their father Oha the aristocrat and
embodiment of royalty died.

Umunoha

According to this tradition , a sort of
warlord called Nnoha Okechi with vague
Aro ancestry, but certainly a peripatetic
individual, migrated from Ozuzu in the
present Etche Local Government Area of
Rivers State, Nigeria and settled in the
present Umunoha town , having
decisively defeated the original Isu
settlers

This is the connection in origin of Ikwerre and the clans found in Southern Igbo like Owerri, Ihiagwa, Mgbirishi, Umuapu, Ngor, Ulakwo, Umuakani, Umuagwo, Nekede etc. They all obviously are descendants of an Eastern or Cross River migration not Benin. There is equally a recurrence of Amadi surname and their settlement pattern is more central and core than typical dispersed Igbo system of settlement.

The attached picture is the traditional hat they always wore and it is closer to Cross River than Isu or Nri/Awka.

Baby hat?

a time would come when those who are under the sub group of the igbos would beg to be recognized as igbos. by then it would be too late. even those who do not share language and cultural similarities would be regarded far above those who isolate them selves from their kit and kin. i wonder how a whole tribe of people the ikwerris who have learned people would allow them selves to be manipulated by the British and the divide and rule tactics of the outsiders. there are opportunities to make amend.......

Baby hat? Made of wool,Traditional? Which tradition? Where did they get the wool? Those hats were given to them in exchange for slaves along with other hats like the fedora GEJ is famous for

siokpe:


The hangover effect of the civil war should be over by now. All Igbos please unite and stop singing and dancing this divisive drum beats that allow Arewa to go to your backyard and steal your wealth. If we Idomas have the resemblance of Igbo like the Anioma or Ikwerre, we could have gladly joined the Igbo nation on our own. But our own ancestors sold us to Arewa who now breed hersdmen to match on our sleeping villages in the night. Our Igbo neigbors did not do such evil against us. We love the Igbos

With an independent Igbo nation, we'd ensure that the southern banks of the Benue(that's the whole igala, idoma and tiv lands) are flushed out of enemy/Islamic tendencies,even if it means pouring across the borders 1M soldiers like I mentioned in my previous posts to flush out Arewa influences... We'd do that!

You are being too extreme. So many actually do but they are in minority. 2ndly Ikwerre has no access to sea. Maybe Okrika, Kalabari or Bonny is more important if the motive is what you think. From my personal point of view I mistook Ikwerre as Igbo earlier because my mother is from Ikwerre and I grew up learning the language and thought it was Igbo. Many Igbos cannot even comprehend Ikwerre language except those at the Southern tip who speak similar language.

Igbos erroneously think Ikwerres are part of Igbo ethnic group because of the similarities visa vis the loose cultural and lingual affirnity inside Igboland itself.

If language and similar custom is all it takes then most of Northern Nigeria would be Hausa.Most of East Africa would be Swahili and so on. Indeed if Nigerians were white we would be "English" by now

if your blood brother started telling you he's japanese wouldn't you be concerned?

Actually I called you re*tard*ed which is more befitting but it was changed to slow. E-fight with an overfed kid? Lol, not me. Ring me when you you finally grow up and cultivate a less brusque manner.

Do you know when the ancestors of the Ngwa people crossed the Imo river As in which century?

Oga, Educate your self:

Was it Tony Elumelu that wrote the article. I can write an article and refer to you as anything. That does not mean you accept it.

Ugomba:
Tony Elumelu is an Igbotic man, ur divide and conquer tactics is now boring.
Is Elumelu an hausa name? Why are some people naturally dumb?

People of the landlocked erosion dream republic trying to have access to the sea by claiming we SS are their brothers. Trying to claim the Midwest so as to lay claim to Delta oil.

Yorubas are your brothers too. Oduduwa came from the east.

You are empty ,boring and bereft of any worth while ideas.You are wise to keep your contributions short so you do not expose you your vacuity. In the remainder of your miserable life on Nairaland never quote me again otherwise you will be humiliated.Nebbish!

I even think say na better people dey talk,..ikwere ha!! what the f***k is ikwere?

DaBullIT:
Why the fight and complaints ?


as far as i am concerned , Elele, Ubima, Isiokpo, Ogbakiri, Omademe, Obiri Ikwerre, Rumuigbo, Rumuola, Rumukurushi, Rumuokoro, Ijaw, and whatever the faaack you represent


Y'all look the same to me


Yeebos

impulsive kunt. Don't reply. These qualifying words of you are to brood over

I don't know if it is just me, but Enugu +Ebonyi+ Anambra+ Abia + IMO and the Igbo parts of pH are good enough. All these others will eventually pop up and hinder brotherly government. Unu Igbo kwenu!

Chiwude:
Lol! You saw well. The certain 'OgbaIzon man is not happy with this news and has thrown out all his fake SS Igbo monikers to counter real Ikwerre viewpoints. The NDRepublic handle is one of them. Even the Hopeathand moniker is still a suspect. Lol!

Hahahaaaaaa

I remember a certain Raymondenyi. Who knows what he'll say.

im tired of talking Igbo, lets discuss Rivers ports and access to sea. Okrika, Eleme, Ikwerre arent on the coastline but have ports on the lands, isnt bonny river an access to the sea??

Ugomba:
and you wasted ur time on such a person.

Una no get work abi. Calling my name upandan. Is my comment so vital to ur existence Rubbish

Beremx:
I had an Ikwerre male friend who kept telling me he's not Igbo but a Niger deltan. he's a youth like me. I ask him if there's anything ethnic groups like ND and he ignores my question. I disagree with you that Ikwerre youths of these days don't deny their identity. it's worse today.

Nice one my friend... You wouldn't know how happy I am.

NDRepublic:

If you could show me any instance where Michael Ade-Ojo decleared himself a yoruba man, then I will show you where Elumelu identified himself as an Igbo man...

...Meanwhile thank you for educating yourself with the link I provided you earlier...

Every River is an access to sea including Niger, Sombreiro, Orasi, Imo and Cross River which all pass through Igboland. The issue is communities between the rivers and sea which is the creeks of Niger Delta mostly inhabited by Ijoid people not Ikwerre or Eleme. Ikwerre and Eleme ethnic groups are as landlocked as Igbos.
