slim75d: I think that is not true Etche (Echie) is a subgroup of the Igbo people occupying parts of Rivers State, Abia State and Imo State in Southern Nigeria. The Etche people inhabit two Local Government Areas (LGA) of Rivers State, namely Etche Local Government Area and Omuma LGA. Etche/Omuma is a Nigerian National Assembly constituency. Etche communities include Akwu/Obuor, Opiro, Chokocho, Chokota, Egwi, Afara, Mba, Ikwerengwo, Okehi, Okomoko, Ulakwo, Umuakonu, Umuebulu, Umuechem, egbeke, Igbodo. Etche believe Igbodo to be their ancestral home. Igbodo is made up of the following communities; Umuohiaukwu, Umuusharam, Umuoga, Okonocho, Umuine, Umudi, Umunkwa, Umuohie, Amaku, Obibi, Ezeleaka, Umuisi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etche |

slim75d:Lol you really are ignorant with your comparisons. The Ikwere and Etche people are not Igbo simply because they choose to IDENTIFY that way. And by the way, there are Etche communities in Ngor Okpala Imo State and they identify as Igbo's. But I do not know about the Ikwere's. Ikwere lga's like Emuoha and Ikwere lga border I'm State. |
