The 4 Ikwerre LGAs are the same landmass with 2/3 of Abia state.

IspitonCowards:
lool! Stupid maths

HopeAtHand:


See this ewu, why involve Yorubas. Nnamdi Kanu, and every other Igbo would obviously not be sane if they don't talk about Ikwerre and Port Harcourt.

HopeAtHand:


You're a confirmed academic nonentity, so no need to debate with you.

IspitonCowards:
Monkey Half of the portharcourt is even owned by Ijaws, wetin Una get?

BigSarah:


What’s an ikwerre name? Just list 5 I must have heard

IspitonCowards:
No come and debate, Empty head Afonja Man

HopeAtHand:



Ewu, erosion gullies in Igboland has not bothered you. Your interest is Ikwerreland.

IspitonCowards:
I support you, ikwerre need to Abolish that igboid land language they speak and adopt bini language fast, Also change everything in your culture that has to do with Igbos including dressings and food, Up Ikwerre the tribe of 3 local governments

Sanity33:


Oba is not a Yoruba word and Yoruba chiefs adopted it in the 1930's. The original owner is the Oba of Benin. Omo n'Oba n'Edo.

omazus:
Even the Oba is amused that a full blooded Igbo man is calling himself a Benin man so as to escape God knows what. He tried not to laugh but he couldn't help it.

Ikwerre over to you.

HopeAtHand:



This is a very irresponsible comment. Like you can dear come into an Ikwerre community and talk this rubbish.

OfoIgbo:


I will come into any community that bears an Igbo name and make exactly the same comment, and freaking nothing will happen.

Only those that accept their Igboness will live in, and will inherit stuff in Igbo towns and villages. If you are from Benin, then f*cking go to Benin. You obviously do think I give a f*ck.

If you take pleasure in embarrassing and humiliating other Igbos for the amusement of Igbo enemies, I will take pleasure in casting you out, and denying you Igbo support, whenever you need it

joepepsy:
Whats up with the Indian clothing,clear me.

dederocs:
Oba is not Youruba...read history and age of the Benin Kingdom.

wingmanIII:


Well spoken!
Truth is, only a section of ikwerres see themselves as non Igbos.

BigSarah:

Pm

Mraphel:


Same thing they're doing in Yoruba lands laying claims to South western lands forming association about their selfish interest on people's land.

Nigerians know wike is not Igbo nor PH is Igboland but when will Igbo-ipods just learn to respect themselves.

IkwerrePikin:

IkwerrePikin:


Ikwerre has 4 local govts: Port harcourt, Emohua, Ikwerre and Obio-apkor.

Brief history of Ikwerre:

Ikwerre settlements have their roots traceable from the old Benin Empire.” Iwhnurọhna people (Ikwerre) descended from the ancient Bini Kingdom. The name of the grand ancestor is Akalaka.

Their relations in Rivers State are Ekpeye and Ogba people. The reigning Oba of Benin when Akalaka, the ancestor of Ihruọha (later called Iwhnurọhna) fled was Oba Ewuare (Ogwaro). Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled in the 13th century on allegation of plotting assassination of the Oba. He died in 1462. Iwhnurọhna his third son settled east of the Sombrero River by 1538 AD

OfoIgbo:


Oba of Benin's origin has absolutely nothing to do with Ife.
Benin Oba tradition is way older than Ife.

Oba remains a title in Nri till date, and it doesn't mean King (Eze or Igwe). It is perhaps one of the highest titles in Nri territories, beside that of the Eze or Igwe.

In Benin, Oba doesn't also mean king. That immediately reveals the Benin obas are not spin-offs from Ife.
In Yorubaland, Oba means king, which is probably an idea they got from Benin, thinking it meant king in Bini.

Up until a little over a hundred years ago, Eze Nris bestowed the ofo on every Oba of Benin and Attah of Igala.

The Ooni of Ife never bestowed anything on the Oba of Benin. The Nris would have been aware of such a thing. Thank God Portuguese explorers made it to Benin during the reigns of Oba Ewuare and Oba Ozolua in the 1400s to confirm the pre-eminence of Nri cultural supremacy of Benin.
If those explorers had visited Ife, the Ooni of Ife would have told the Portuguese about the Nri cultural supremacy of Ife at that particular time also.

Never mess with Nri. Again, as I wrote sometime ago, when the Nris speak, the true Igbo territories will be known.

Pay no attention to some cultural journeymen in Igboland at the moment, like the Aguleris and others. When Nri speaks, Nigeria will know.

Sanity33:

Prove it ! Also what is wrong with you Igbo ?
The people tell you they are not Igbo and you keep arguing with them ?
You know them more than they know themselves ?

bigDickson:



But their names still show their history... Fulanis speak Hausa but still bears Fulani names.. . I believe your dad bears Edo name... so why are the Ikweres bearing Igbo names and not having any lota of Benin name

PVision2020:

Please stop being foolish, as far back as 1843 Ajayi Crowther translated the KJV Bible to Yoruba language with Hundreds of Obas meaning King in the text.
