This is not tribalism. I am Ikwerre and i have to protect my ethnicity.

It’s very funny and sad at the same time when you come across your community names being replaced with Igbo names on Wikipedia and Google search.

Where igbos working with Google and Wikipedia either change Ikwerre community names or add “Umu” to Ikwerre community names.

The funny thing is that, we Ikwerre people do not use the word “Umu” which means children in Igbo language and not in Ikwerre language.

See below screenshot from google:

Omerelu where i come Is also written as “Umunelu

Omuanwa is being written as “ Umunwa

Please how can i report this to Google search for these errors to be corrected??

You can’t add “Umu” to a community name when such word is not found in our language when we speak Ikwerre.

When we tell people that Ikwerre community names where deliberately changed by igbos in certain positions people think we are being tribalistic or we don’t know what we are saying.

This is just a few, on Wikipedia it is written that “Ikwerre” is a subgroup of Igbo when in reality it’s totally different. Do these companies really go to these communities to get true history of the people before accepting these false informations??

With this false information, i can not take Wikipedia and Google Search serious. There are a lot of misinformation on those websites.

Hmmmm. Na wa o.

Such imposition is harming Southern unity.

So-called minorities are wary of so-called larger tribes who want to absorb others by fire by force. Because they could turn out worse than Jihadists from Funta Jallon.

At least right now, protons & electrons are equal. An ethnic four-way neutralization is in place. In the event of split, one larger tribe can decide to form Idi-Amin.
