OP take a chill pill

Ikwerre are not Igbo and will never be.

The rest of Igbos have finally accepted that and moved on.

Time for you to do so.

Very funny, 90 out off every 100 Anambra millionaire is a okwaego ritual money. Some even use their wife womb then Mary another one as baby factory but ikwere people are Wawa like enugu people too

I can't understand why people like this Op are obsessed with Ikwerre people.
What is special about them?I know this op is an IPOB sympathiser.

selemempe:
shut up ogbeni. Ikwere didn't leave Igbo until Rivers state was created in 1967.
Ikwere was Igbo from the creation of the eastern region in 1939 until 1967

Exactly.

inderhappy:
Any sensible igbo won't associate him self with ikwere in the first.... that's why they don't want to teach you people history anymore

you tell the complete truth .

We already have Nkwerre in Igbo land so the ikwerre can go to hell for all I care. They have notin to offer us (Ndigbo). A time will come when they’re going to need us and then we shall deny them just like they have denied been part us today. Ikwerre is ikwerre. Ndigbo we moovveee. Igbo4life

Ikwerres are igbos and like Cremea, would be brought back to fold at the appropriate time!
You can now go and argeu with Rotimi Amaechi...

I think Ikwere people say that they are not Igbo...Hapunu ha nah

selemempe:
I just saw this picture of Wike and Obi Cubana and it got me thinking again of what could have been if Ikwere didn't start denying their Igbo identity.

I'm from Enugu but we all in igboland know and appreciate how successful Anambra business men and women are.
People like
Arthur Eze, Innosson, Ibeto, and younger monies like Obi Cubana, Emoney, Jowizaza etc remind us all how far Anambra has come since 1970 when they got 20 pounds like the rest of Igbos.

Also,
With oil money which Rivers state commands and with political power in Rivers state firmly in the hands of the Igbo subgroups, the Ikwere could have been in competition of wealth with the Anambra and imo state elite.
Igbo society weddings and burials could have been taking place every weekend in port Harcourt if they were integrated with the rest of Igbo nation
The swag of being Igbo would have placed Ikwere and the Igbos of Rivers state in the national limelight like it does for the Anambra group.

Port Harcourt could have been the Lagos of Igbos because of the port and oil....and Lagos would not have the high number of Igbos it has today.

What Igbos lost in 1970 still gives me pains. Ikwere officially left the Igbo ethnic nationality in 1979 and took with them some other Igbo groups carved into Rivers. They all are now playing creek, isolated politics and living that creek, isolated culture and only identify as Igbos when it suits them individually.

I do understand ur points and they may b valid.That said, for a group to not want to have much to do with a larger group with suppose similar culture shld be enough for the larger Igbo nation to have a thorough introspection about their dealings with the smaller groups.
For example, Mazi Kanu continues to talk about Biafra that would include these smaller groups .were they consulted? When u do that ppl will feel uneasy because it's a blatant disrespect.

Crimea was once ruled by the Russian kings. There was no time ikwere were part of any igbo union state before the arrival of the British.

I also saw No. 12-----Ijaw...Opobo.
And tomorrow one deluded fool will tell me Opobo n bonny are ibos.

I am saving this for future arguement

No I disagree they have been banished for life and i can't live with ikwerres in the same country even if they ask for forgiveness

Nobody doubts that there are Ijaw remnants from the British entourage after the British left.
The British left but some of the Ijaw security guards they brought with them form Sierra Leone and Ghana stayed back at the ports and are now claiming ownership of it. Something we will address soon, either diplomatically or by FORCE

Has it ever be under argument, it was Ibani Ijaw men that spearheaded the creation of Rivers State like lt Harold Dappa Biriye

You have nothing to address here.
You can't force a people to be who they are not.
I believe that won't happen in your lifetime

Them dey smoke cow dunk.

Yeye dey smell.
I don't know what's with them and Rivers people

Olodo, has it been anywhere the Ijaws of Ondo or Delta states claim that those states are Ijaw states?

Talk another thing abeg

Comparing a STATE with a community

OP you dumb shaa

The same logic applies in Opobo.

Before Rivers people were mba miri, but now because of access to sea, they love ocean pass Ijaw man

The logic no apply to Arochukwu that worship Abasi and speak Ibibio as second language or Anambra state that has native Igala

Nobody denies Igala is present there. Or that some of those around Abia have Efik influence. But equating such influences to ownership is mischief. Such applies to Opobo.

I can see that you are delusional. It started in January and till date only Ikonso was killed by your terrorists but we still have the higher score

Opobo and by extension its origin Bonny is and would always be Ijaw, any revisionist or irredentist should get it through their head and save themselves heartbreak or claims of betrayal part 2

Nobody is talking about Nairaland rant. Just know that like the way you see it, we are leaving nothing behind and we don't need convictions to do so
