imiski: If you bear Igbo name, practice Igbo culture, speak Igbo dialect. Then you're Igbo. You can stop being Igbo by stopping being ikwerre. Why Ikwerre? Why not Efik, Ibibio, Anang etc 6 Likes 1 Share |

Long time bros. We have missed your matured contributions on Nairaland since Okorocha's issue. On the Ikwerres matter, do you honestly think the people don't know their history? From my little research on the topic, the Ikwerres' desired to be seen as a separate ethnic group even before Independence in 1960 and not after the civil war as many Igbos on Nairaland like to paint it. They submitted memoranda to the Willinks Commission on the fears to the minorities and were part of the Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers (COR) movement in the old Eastern Region agitating for a separate region for the Non-Igbo people of the Eastern Region.

What makes a word Igbo? If Igbo speak their language, it's Igbo and if Ikwerres speak their language, it's Ikwerre language. Both Bini and Yoruba languages share some words e.g Iye, Oba, Omo, Ogedengbe (Ogedegbe) etc but you will never see either Bini or Yoruba people claiming exclusive right over these words. If an Edo man is bearing Akerele ,Taiwo, Ogun, Tayo,Omonoba, or A(k)pata , these names will be Edo names but if Yorubas bear the same names, they are Yoruba names. obiekunie2: 1 Like |

niaralandtopuser:They call themselves delta Igbo, back then when it was bendel state they called themselves bendel Igbo, whatever they call themselves they call it for political reasons noting more, during the Biafra war the denied their igbiod ethnicity but the federal government soldiers separated them from the other tribes in Delta and killed all the men that were present that day , the ikweres in rivers state weren't spared even though the denied Igbo for fear of been killed, the ekpeye in rivers were not cowards like the ikweres, ekpeye identified themselves as Igbo's even during the Biafra war 6 Likes 1 Share |

This matter is NOT peculiar to the Igbos, it happens all over Nigeria. Many Danladi Ayuba, Ibrahim Umar, Abu Hashidu or Tanko Doma that you call Hausas are not Hausa. There are many people from Ogori-Mangogo LGA in Kogi State who claim their aren't Yorubas but bear Ademola, Adeleke or Ogundele as surnames. BULLIONVAN4: 1 Like |

niaralandtopuser:The war in Delta happened only in the Igbo speaking communities especially asaba when the Nigerian troops chased the Biafran soldiers through asaba across the Niger river the biafrans blew up the Niger bridge so the Nigerian troops went back to asaba and started killing the Igbo's in asaba claiming they are biafrans only Igbo's were killed 4 Likes |

midnighter:you say they speak Igbo but they said they don't speak Igbo. You can't force someone to be you. How many plenty people do you know in Delta. up to 100. How many Igbo speaking communities do you know in Delta except the very popular ones. You call them all Anioma but some call themselves Ndokwa while others call themselves ukwuani. You claim all of them as Igbo but they see themselves as three different tribe. Even the lka man in Delta is beginning to think he is no longer part of Ndokwa, ukwuani or Anioma. The only places people identify as Igbo is Asaba and a few communities around. Even those we use to refers to as Urhobo no longer see themselves as one. Delta is complicated my dear. Communities are tracing their ancestry. You can only get the clear picture of you are a deltan 1 Like |
