muykem:Bros I am Ikwerre . I am here to prove to you that Igbos copied our language. Tell an Igbo person to give you the Igbo word for YES. It does not exist. They could not copy that before they migrated. 2 Likes |

Muna4real:This was why Ikwerre people with opened arms welcomed Gowon and his troups. What have we done to you people? There is no historical connection between the Igbos and the Ikwerres. We have asked for it to be provided to no avail. Igbos Communities are interconnected. They know themselves. Can you mention where the Ikwerre people belong? Can you come up with a prove of when Ikwerre was Igbo. At the height of Igbos power in Nigeria in 1963, Ikwerre people were in the National Assembly to make a case of being no other ethnic group other than being Ikwerre people. Knowledgeable men like Zik and even Ojukwu were alive. None of them kicked against it. We have never been. Yes, there is some oral history of the Ikwerre people migrating from Benin. I will educate you on this. It was not the Ikwerre people who said it. It was an oral history given by the Ekpeye people and Omoku people in same Rivers State. Ekpeye and Omoku people have not completely lost their Benin vestiges. Till date their kings are called Oba. In their oral history they claimed they migrated from Benin with their brother Iwhuruohna (Iwwhuruohna people are now known as the Ikwerre people). Our ways have a lot in common and that does not make Ikwerre Igbos or Igbos Ikwerres. Let me draw a biblical analogy. Esau and Jacob were of the same origin and later formed their own countries. From biblical records Jacob had more sons that Esau. If their countries particularly Esau wasnt lost, their culture and language will a lot in common. The size of Jacob's country may be bigger than that of Esau considering that Jacob had 12 sons. The size of Jacob's children will not cause Esau to become Jacob. Remember, Esau came before Jacob. Before the war and after the war, Igbo Language is taught in Rivers Schools. It is also being compulsorily offered. Even Etche in Rivers State speaks a more of Igbo related language than Ikwerre people. But Igbos dont go after them because they dont have a Port Harcourt. 2 Likes |

Muna4real:Oh so they never told you that the Igbos colonised the Ikwerre people? These are things you need to know. Before the Civil War the Igbos had the Ikwerre people completely under their control. They changed the names of our communities. All the streets in Port Harcourt bear their names even up till today. If this continues we will act on that. The language taught in school was Igbo. The had the Ikwerre people completely under subjugation. This is the fear of an Ikwerre man any time Biafra is mentioned. He thinks he is walking into another rules of an Igbo man. He passed through hell then and would never want to pass same again. The pains of Igbo people till date is the loss of Port Harcourt. It has remained their eternal pains. 2 Likes |

chrisxxx: It has never been on record that nndigbo colonized anybody. Never in the history of mankind. I'm not even going to try and make you understand because you were obviously lied to by whoever told you that fairytale. I've heard this lies before and even worse. Some foolish ikwerres also uphold the belief that nndigbo have wanted to chase them out of ikwerre land and replace them with bakassi people. There are so many horrible and unbelievable tales your father's have made you believe. So I'm not surprised with your utterances today. But let me give you an advice. Learn to research before you believe. And please, stop the lies against nndigbo. You are very free to deny nndigbo but please stop concocting events that never happened. |

The hypocrisy of some of you is astounding. They said they aren't Igbo and you can't accept this you must force them into a union with you. How are you evil people any different than the Northerners who you feel force Nigeria on you? It's pathetic and ironic 1 Like |

Muna4real:Witness of several people may not be concocted after all. I have lots of Igbo friends and we remain friends. And they know I am not Igbo but a brother. Fortunately for me my grandmother (as most of us have) was from Umuahia. I swear, before she died, I once asked her if there was a time Ikwerre was Igbo. She vehemently answered in negative. She said there was never a time. 1 Like |

chrisxxx: In 21st century you still dont have alphabets for your language. How are we sure your names are rightly spelt. You people are just using igbo alphabet to cover you language. Which for sure is part of igboid language. Do you know when igbo alphabet came into existence. In the year 1928, there were already publication in Igbo newspaper. |

chrisxxx: You guys are just funny. Look I'm not one of those igbos who will always drag you up and down to be igbos by force. We don't need such igbophobic people in our midst. My concern is the lies that you paint us with everyday. The most annoying part of it is that after you paint us with lies and deny igbo publicly, then you accept igbo again when you need a slot in Abuja. Please help me tell your people to stay one place. 1 Like |

muykem: Igbos do not have identity crisis. Stop generalising. A few voices claiming Jews or those arguing about ikwerres do not represent us. Millions of Igbos do not use Nairaland or argue or bother themselves where Wike and his forefathers come from. We also don’t follow Igbos ideology. We are passionate about the Igbo nation and all those genuinely passionate about the Igbos. 1 Like |

Youngmaster0:Because of your focus on Ikwerre people you seem to have lost contact with your mates. Ikwerre is a minority ethnic group in Nigeria with just 3 to 4 LGSs. Igbos have not just LGAs but five states. In case your needed a reminder, your mates are the Yorubas and Hausas. Thanks. 1 Like |
