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.

so you're saying with the Onne port in Eleme and the PH wharf close to the secretariat, Eleme and Ikwerre are landlocked.

Assuming Ikwerre and Eleme are different countries from Nigeria, what is the position of International law regarding the use of the bonny river.

I don't know if it is just me Ijaw + 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, snitch us if there is war. Umu Igbo kwenu! Most of them say they are not Igbo and Nigeria fought just for their oil perhaps. We can replace them by building electric cars.

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.
fire on my brother!

Let them know we yorubas are also good at being impostors

Do you think Ijaws will allow your ships pass their creeks without being subject to their terms and conditions? Onne and PH wharf which is presently Okrikaland are no different from Oguta and Onitsha ports. They all lay at the mercy of Ijaws. This includes pipelines for export of oil to sea from hinterland.

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.
Ikwerre is not Igbo, NEVER,

The writer is not Ikwerre but an Igbo with little knowledge of reality. He thinks Obiri Ikwerre is the name of a town.

You know PH is split into 20 political wards. The PH wharf, Old GRA, Seceretariat etc fall into ward Ikwerre areas. I think its Ward 8 or so.

I will upload the map for you when its convenient.

And as we are aware, all Okrika people in PH migrated from Okrika LGA, they ar just living on sandfilled swamps around the waterfronts of PH.
Re: "We Are Igbos, But Denied Igbo Because Of Biafran War" Says Ikwerre Youths by gidgiddy: 8:04am On May 24, 2016
I have heard so many versions of where and who the Ikweres are:

"Ikwere are from Bini!"

"Ikwere are from Nkwere!"

"Ikwere are from Japan"

My friend from Enugu state is currently dating an Ikwere girl from Emohua. What they quarell about is this issue of being Igbo or not. Yet when they shout at each other, he uses his 'Nkanu' dialect while she uses Ikwere yet both can understand each other. Chibuike Amaechi, Duncan Okechukwu (Duncan Mighty), Elechi Amadi, Tonto Dike are all well known Ikwere indigenes but had not been popular, any Hausa or Yoruba who meets them will take them to be Igbo due to their last names which is as Igbo as it gets. Mind you, all of them speak flawless Igbo. Not long ago, a certain Emeka Eze was apprehended for Drug pushing, they shouted "Igbos have come again" until it came out that the man was Ikwere. So who is Igbo and who is Ikwere? The apex Ikwere organisation is the "Ogbakor Ikwere" which every Igbo knows means "gathering of Ikweres". The king of the Ikweres is the "Eze Ikwere" which everone knows means 'king of the Ikweres'. It will be a tough sell to the Ikwerre Man who speaks a dialect of Igbo as his ancestral language and has an Igbo last name to get up say 'I am distinct from Igbos'. Not even their neigbours in Rivers, the Ijaws and Ogonis, take them as anything but Igbo.

Yours is the Ikwerre version but Okrika version is entirely different. My reason for using was is because the waterside gangs and youth organizations are headed by Okrika boys including presently Abonema wharf. How come Okrika boys are collecting royalty on supposed Ikwerre soil?

Ikwerre land is as landlocked as the Igbo land period. Waterside and ph wharf belongs to Okirika, so for someone to tell me Igbos need Ikwerre for access the sea is a complete bullshit.
Ikwerre people are not Igbo, let them be whoever they want to be.

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...

You call a poorly written article educative then I am not surprised that the education sector in Nigeria is rotten.

The argument was initiated by you Ipob dreamers claiming Elumelu portrays himself as Igbo and I still insist that you prove it rather you are digressing by mentioning irrelevant people into the discussion.

Who cares if Ade-Ojo is from Bakassi? At least your Ewedu republic brothers are not fighting tooth and nail to let the world know he is one of them.

Ikwerre's are like the prodigal sons of Igboland and would always be welcomed back whenever they realized their folly.

You'll not be able to imagine, just imagine it in your head, what Ikwerre & other Rivers ethnic groups suffered at the end of the Biafran War, especially those that fought in the Biafran Army against the Nigerian Army, & returned alive.Many are still alive.

One handsome 80 year-old is still proud of his exploits. Another, an Ojukwu top Advisor, was laid to rest few weeks ago in Akwa Ibom state. If you meet any of them, you'll know what it means to be a man. To take a stand.

I was the one that brought it up, but clearly you are the one who tends to be excessively ignorant. Like i said Tony onyekachi Elumelu is an Igboman. During the enugu economic summit, in his speech He kept using "We igbo". So he does not need to start singing am Igbo man to satisfy your ego. Note:The person I quoted was Beremx.

Must you explain everything, even to people who're not cultured on justice, equity, to live & let live.

When you understand the philosophy of Offor, you'll never argue with those who don't have commitment to anything, or anyone.
