chukel:
ikwerre igbo

purely Igbo

DateMynd44:
so why are they always irritated when I call them igbos?

It depends on the Ikwerre you meet. Some Ikwerres claim not to be Igbos, others claim to be Igbos. Famous Ikwerre novelist, Elechi Amadi, always claimed not to be Igbo. Former Governor Chibuike Amaechi cane out on national Tv to tell everyone that he is Igbo despite being an Ikwerre man.

But no matter the Ikwerre you meet, their language is Igbo and they all have Igbo surnames

Mrfeel:

If you didn't understand one or two words in what he said then you are not Igbo at all, ikwerre is an igbiod subgroup and speaks igbiod dialect just like those in ebonyi and Delta

Your argument is purely weak. Come up with something strong and defeating not these petty logics.

gloriaunobi:
Was that Igbo that he is speaking?

Wike said Chileke Kpokwaha oku,ntoor ntoor ntoor lwkmd. .
Ikwerre Igbo amaka.Lol.

MelesZenawi:

Your argument is purely empty pointless , come up with something to hold a grip on

junketer:
how many ikwerre people do you know? If most ikwerre people do not see themselves as igbos then they wouldn't observe biafra day, they wouldn't shutdown river state every 30th may. They wouldn't be in support of kanu and ipob.

Ipob what?....what nonsense

What is it everyone that observed such trash. It is at ur own will and not a necessity. Try and come with something strong.

Moreover I don't argue with anything IPOB, they are miscreants, animals and fools. They constitute danger to the society and must be decimated anywhere they are seen.


In short term...Ipob wu ndi ala ndi ala.

gidgiddy:


Really? Then that means your grasp of the Igbo language is bad. Even a none Igbo would understand that he said Ntoor and Chineke. Then he said 'Chineke, kpor ha' and ended with the word 'oku'. Anyone who understands Igbo would know that wike said that God should burn some people in hellfire, just with those 4 words. Its not a must that one must understand every word of the Ikwerre dialect, what is important is that you understand the key words that explains what is being said.

Well it ends at the doorstep of you giving your own meaning to the word as u feel that's the meaning. Until the speakers themselves (Ikwerre) says the meaning and what it means to them it will end up that wike is speaking Ikwerre.

Go and get some rest.

Mrfeel:

My grip is strong and firm. Ikwerre ethnic nationality speaks Ikwerre.

Any logic you are bringing is what you think not what they are.

MelesZenawi:


You are a liar.

I didn't understand what he was saying...Not at all..

If you didn't understand what Wike said that means you are not Igbo or don't understand or speak Igbo language.

MelesZenawi:


My grip is strong and firm. Ikwerre ethnic nationality speaks Ikwerre.

Any logic you are bringing is what you think not what they are.

Lol you have no grip at all, the ikwerre is an igbiod subgroup and speaks an igbiod dialect



Any political logic they are bringing to it is what they think and not what they are, history can never be destroyed

Get a stronger grip

MelesZenawi:



Wike is speaking Ikwerre and not igbo.

Moreover you are the one giving the meaning of the words in your own dialectical understanding and not the ikwerres themselves.

So your argument remains weak.

Okay lets assume he was speaking Ikwerre .Case close!

PromiseHamza:



Who is he telling this?

He is telling this to opposition.


Buhari said the worst

Like?

chukel:
which is? Ebonyi or nsukka?

Ikpu nnei dia!


Wetin concern Nsukka for this matter.


Agwo mia g anya!

MelesZenawi:

You are talking like an ignoramus. The Nsukka man of Enugu State speaks Nsukka dialect, the Ngwa of man of Abia speaks Ngwa dialect, the Oru man of Imo speaks Oru dialect and the Ikwerre man of Rivers speaks Ikwerre dialect. Yet, when all of them meet, they understand each other, which of them is then speaking Igbo?

MelesZenawi:


My grip is strong and firm. Ikwerre ethnic nationality speaks Ikwerre.

Any logic you are bringing is what you think not what they are.

You are just senseless in your comment, why are you always pained about anything Igbo. Why not face your tribe.

Is there any tribe in Nigeria that doesn’t have dialects, in Yorubaland Ijebu man Yoruba speaking is different from Ondo Yoruba and also with ogbomosho Yoruba. Even Aworis, Eguns, Ilaje have a local languages that a Yoruba person cannot even understand.

Politics apart Ikwerre language is an Igboid language that every Igbo person can understand to a level. Ikwerre, Ika, Anioma, Ngwa, Nsukka, Ngwo, Izii in Ebonyi, Igbanke in Edo etc are all Igbo dialects.

You are talking trash.

Ikwerre is a recognised ethnic group in Nigeria, same as Igbo and not as a sub group to any...

So what are you arguing?

moreover Wike said Ikwerre ethnic nationality...


Bunch of classless argument.

Ojiofor:


Okay lets assume he was speaking Ikwerre .Case close!

Not assuming

He is speaking Ikwerre and recognised as ethnic group in Nigeria same as Igbo not as a sub group to any...

gloriaunobi:
Was that Igbo that he is speaking?

yes its Igbo I heard everything

MelesZenawi:



Shut it

he wasn't speaking any igbo.

There is nothing like Ikwerre igbo. It is simply Ikwerre not Igbo.

it's Igbo he speaking I heard everything he said

MelesZenawi:


Not defending him.

I only stated clearly that he was speaking Ikwerre for those shifting goal post that he is speaking Igbo.

Actions are bad but corrected an impression trying to build up.

why are you people like this he is speaking Igbo I heard everything he said and any Igbo man who watch the video that will also understand the language

chukel:
ikwerre igbo

Which one again is ikwerre Igbo??

ericuzor:
it's Igbo he speaking I heard everything he said

It is not Igbo,

He is speaking Ikwerre which is a recognised ethnic group in Nigeria.

I wonder what you hearing that others haven't.

DateMynd44:
when Ikwerre people speak, do igbos understand?

yes I do understand, Igbo dialects differ, when an ohafia man speaks you won't hear a thing

ericuzor:
why are you people like this he is speaking Igbo I heard everything he said and any Igbo man who watch the video that will also understand the language

By your own right, you are proving yourself right.

Next

MelesZenawi:


Not assuming

You are basically playing politics with the topic.
Is Chineke or Ntoor or Kpokwa ha oku is which language in Nigeria?
Ikwerre can claim anything, I don't care, but what Wike was speaking is clearly Igbo language which happens to be his native language.

MelesZenawi:



You are talking trash.

stop deceiving yourself what he is speaking is Igbo period

MelesZenawi:


By your own right, you are proving yourself right.

Next

nothing to prove right here because that's the Truth

ericuzor:

Your truth get K-leg

MelesZenawi:


Your truth get K-leg

Ok, translate what wike said in English language. Please we like to know

I would'nt be surprice if meleszenawi is yoruba
