Reno Omokri is a clown, Igboland do not share borders with itsekiri, Igboland share borders with uhrobo and Isoko, Igbo people were part of the Binin kingdom just like urhobo, itsekiri, Ijaw and others

Here is the map of Igboland

Are you aware that Davidos son with Chioma bears Ifeanyi? Is that child an Igbo person?
You might have an English name are you an English person?
Do you know 40% of Nigerians speaks only pidgin English and no other lànguage?
Stop your obsession with and hatred for Ikwerre people.
We have never been Igbo. Ikwerre people consider themselves superior. Rubbing Igbo on them is the greatest disservice you can offer to an Ikwerre person.
It is Nnamdi Kanu that brought about this new argument. Ask your dad if Igbos had ever considered Ikwerre as Igbos before Kanu era?
We learnt Igbo in school and we are still
Learning.

Ikwerre is inside Igboland and is part of the larger Igbo

jimyjames:

I'm not denying that fact, ikwerre is one of those igbos once owned by the bini's same as the aniomas, all igbos in South South were once slaves

Why do you believe the Benin narrative?

RestructureNig3:


Why do you believe the Benin narrative?

I believe the Benin narrative cause , the ikwerre's and some Igbo speaking people from delta tell Igbos that they are from the Benin kingdom and not Igbos

Not all of them, there are Ikwerre and Anioma people who believe they are Igbo

It 8s easier for Fulani to be Igbo than Ikwerre being Igbo.

Ogbuefi2020:
Benin empire sold mainly yoruba and itshekiri slaves

Yoruba slaves were sold via Badagry, Gold Coast and Gorre Island in Senegal, not through Escravos

Bini sold and sold ......

They are still slaves and will always be slaves.

Ikweres and ikas are the ones bringing shame
To the Igbos, they trace their origin to Bini, then Bini accommodated them in their history by giving them SLAVE status.

For them to have divided beliefs over their identity shows they themselves don't know who they are and any identity can be given to them

Except that Fulani will never understand how to speak Igbo, while the Ikwerre will always understand Igbo language and have an Igbo name

Some Ikwerres say they are Igbo, others say they are not.

The problem the Ikwerre have is that they have no way of being "distinct" or different from Igbos. The Ikwerres speak a dialect of Igbo, they all understand central Igbo and bare Igbo surnames.

The Ikwerre do not have a problem
They are fine
The Ikwerre do NOT speak a DIALECT of Igbo
They speak Ikwerre LANGUAGE which belongs to the same Family of LANGUAGES as Igbo called IGBOID Family because Igbo is the Largest LANGUAGE in the family
The one is not a DIALECT of the other but there is some mutual intelligibility
That does not extend into your assumption THEY ALL UNDERSTAND central Igbo and "Bare" (sic) Igbo surmane
What is CENTRAL Igbo? That is a creation of Nigeria

Italian , Spanish, Portuguese , French all belong to the same Language family and have very similar names with some mutual intelligibility.
It does not make one a dialect of the other or for one to assert dominance over the other.
Languages are DIFFERENT from PEOPLE . Speaking the same Language as we do on this website does not imply common ancestry or origin . It just shows a crossing of paths in history

iSlayer:
This history most likely connects Ikwerre too. They are all Bini slaves from time.

Ikwerres ha e never been slaves to anyone. We have a very proud history. You can see a typical Ikwerre man in Wike. Those who live among us in Ph will tell you how proud and loud the Ikwerre man is. We have never been slaves and there has never been any history which suggests that. Rather we are the slave masters.

What u just wrote is a trash.
Pick a good history book and learn.
what u call ikwere land today was the camping place for slaves, awaiting shipment to american or Europe.
Read about the AROs and their relationship with Ikwerres.

TAO11:
Well, since you so eager to have me demonstrate that I’ve debunked your false videos long before in the past, then here you go.

(1) Regarding your bitter lies about the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the following piece-by-piece devastating refutation:

(A) Contrary to your ignorance, captives weren’t taken from “all across Africa” as you imagined.

Rather, captives were taken from Central Africa and West Africa — including people from Benin kingdom whom the Nupe, the Ibadan, Ogedengbe, etc. raided.

(B) Contrary to your ignorance, the Yoruba people have long been known by the name Yoruba (and they’ve been living in their present homeland) for centuries prior to the period when ex-captives began to be returned to Africa.

We know this because the process of returning them ex-captive back ‘home’ to West Africa didn’t begin until circa the late-1700s.

Whereas, there are manuscripts written in the early-1600s which list Yorubas (by their name Yoruba) among some of the ethnic groups of our region of West Africa.

This manuscript which was written by Ahmed Baba in 1615 is attached below.

The name Yoruba is shown in red highlight (among the other ethnic groups) as can be seen in the original manuscript as well as in the translation embedded below respectively:

www.nairaland.com/attachments/12934148_5117c6d550154217817d7c66b5fa0fe6_jpeg_jpeg2a73d5172c14cf7a7da91ff200688e3e

This translation was prepared by John Hunwick and Fatima Harrak for The Institute of African Studies Rabat, Morocco

Oh, I should add that we know that this manuscript was written by Ahmad Baba in the year 1615 because he himself penned his date as highlighted (in the attached verso) below:

www.nairaland.com/attachments/13082305_6e49d8d129844a578af9272699e1586a_jpeg_jpeg2d5891d724a6428e2c0f4e6898bd60cc

The highlight here literally shows the wording “(the year) one thousand and twenty four (of the Hijrah)”.

When converted from this Hijri “AH” calendar into our Gregorian “AD” calendar; the year 1024 AH falls into the year 1615 AD

The formula “D = 0.9692*H + 622” proves practically useful for this conversion.

In sum, your falsehood that returned-slaves (from all across Africa) are what became known as Yorubas is nothing but a but-hurt lie from a depressed bald-head.


(C) These ex-captives who were of West-African origin and Central African origin were repatriated directly to Sierra-Leone and Liberia.

Some began a new life there, while some decided to go back to their homeland from which they were taken ab-initio.

Nobody was repatriated to south-West Nigeria, bald-head.

A number of Yorubas among the returnees chose to return back to Yorubaland — just as many others who returned to their respective original homeland.

(2) The only ethnic-group whom I know of who couldn’t fight their way to freedom and be returned back to Africa are ……. [take a guess].


They couldn’t think of returning until about 400 years later when some of their descendants decided to tap into the science of Genetics as a guide to finding their way back home. ~ See video. below:
