Ikwere have been trying to convince other Nigerians that they are not Igbos because every other minority tribes in Nigeria like Bini,Isoko, Efik, Ibibio,Egun,Itsekiri etc all have their indigenous native spoken languages while Ikwere have no native language except the Igbo language they are speaking and bearing of Igbo names.They said they are from Bini but doesn’t have any atom of Bini language in Igbo language they are speaking neither do they bear any Bini names.

If they are not Igbos what is their original mother tongue.

#ProblemNoDeyFinish

Na this case dey vex WIKE

There's a town in Nsukka known as Ezike-oba, my grandmother told me that the founder of the 36 communities is a prince from Bini kingdom who ran away to avoid persecution from his father. Tho they speak Igbo fluently and they have their own Ezike Igbo dialect. They acknowledge that their ancestor is from Bini but they don't share anything in common with Bini kingdom.
It is known in some history books that Yorubas are from Egypt, does it mean that Egypt should come and claim the Oduduwa kingdom? You people have problem in this forum.

There original mother's tongue was Spanish. I say this because I am a historian.

River's people must be Igbo by force and there is nothing they can do about it....

Again, Igbo always engaging their mouth rather than their brains...

How can you sit down and narrate a story that clearly shows River people's are ñot Igbo and you still want them to accept the Igbo nationality by force...

This life nor balance...

America is a nation state and Israel is a nation state, just because they share similarities in religion, does not make them the same people

You lack self respect. Respect is earned.

See wetin joblessness dey cause

They are not Igbos, and so what?

Gini mezie?

What they say or believe shouldn't be Igbos concern.


But They should just add Rumu to all their name and all their words,with that they have gotten for themselves difference identity from Igbos.


If not they are omo ibo to yorubas and nyamiri to hausafulanis

i heard so

Umunne, I am begging in the name of the creator of heaven and earth to stop posting things like.

Why most the name of our tribe be in nairaland from from morning till, everyday of the year.

Too much circulation makes the price to go down.
If you guys go on posting about your tribe, others will soon withdraw the little respect they have you.

About the Egypt part, your granny is likely to be wrong.

Does it mean she has a problem too? No. History is most times biased.

Valid observation.

Very valid.

You pointed out a very salient point without taking sides.

Nice one.

You meet an Ikwerre man, he says he is Igbo. You meet another Ikwerre man, he says he is Bini. You meet the third Ikwerre man, he says he is neither Igbo nor Bini, he is just Ikwerre. Confusion everywhere!

Ikwerres should go and sort out this identity crisis that has engulfed them

History has it that for fear of being martyred by the Nigerian Army, the Ikwerreans denounced being Igbo during the civilization.

Get it into your coconut head, the Ikwerres are not Igbos, they are Bini slaves that escaped from Benin and landed in Igweocha. over the years they succeeded in learning Igbo language.

Then they are Igbos if they don’t have or retain their Bini mother tongue.

U have said this more than one thousand times, and nobody seem to consider ur post.

Why don't respect urself and stop mentioning the name of a tribe that doesn't want to associate with you.

Majority carries the vote.
The ones amongst them that say "we and south east are of the same tribe", are just mininority. Therefore you can't claim their tribe when majority of them don't want associate with you.

Please I beg you in the name of the almighty to let these be what the want to be.

If you continue this way nobody will respect for your tribe again.

Odingo1:

You are the one, you and your likes suffering from strong inferiority complex.

All the threads you guys keep creating, how many even one an Ikwerre person has created.

Inferiority is in born because you see yourself way below them..

Which one u be sef, hausa fulani?

Wike should bring out that money and hire Bini teacher to Iwhuruosa (Ikwerre) people their long forgotten language.

It should be called Re-bininization project under the Education Department in Ikwerre Local government Areas.

Ohaneze should warn them to bearing Igbo names such as Emeka, Amaechi, Chidalu etc, Chibuike, we need to know who is who in this country, so that when they commit crimes we can easily point to their father's house. There are plenty names they can adopt. Osahon, Osaze, Efua, Ewurudjhakpor are all nice Bini names they can adopt.
