KnowAll, I've got something for you. . . Ikwere admits relationship with Etche. Etche admits kinship with Ngwa. Ngwa admits some form of kinship with Ikwere, in general, but the people of Diobu and surrounding are specifically said to have a direct relationship with Ngwa. Ikwere are distinct from 'East Central Igbo', you say? More drivel, or maybe you are just unaware that Ikwere shares specific cultural and linguistic similarities with the Ngwa, of your supposed monotonous 'East Central Igbo'. In short, let us just back off Ngwa a bit and address the most Igbo of Igbo cultural activities being the New Yam festival. The Ngwa, of your supposed monotonous 'East Central Igbo', do not do the New Yam festival, but your 'special' Ikwere do. Accommodating? There is a 'clan' of Hausa who have made Aba their new home. You can find their story in any of Nigeria's news publishers. The article is even online. Besides the Hausa, there are also Igbo and non-Igbo groups who have made themselves comfortable in Aba and Osisioma. Contact with non-Igbo groups? Hmm. . . let me see, like the Ikwere, the Ngwa also had contact with non-Igbo groups (Ijo and Annang/Ibibio). In fact, a number of Ngwa can understand and speak Annang/Ibibio. Some also can understand and speak Ijo. It seems that your 'special' Ikwere are really not as special as you try to make them out to seem. 1 Like |

Now, that's not to say that I want them in SE zone. I honestly believe that they should remain in the SS. I just don't believe they should remain there for any of the reasons you mentioned. |
| Re: River State Should Be Part Of The South East since Igbo have 6 governors by ak47mann(m): 9:03pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
abeg let them remain in SS territory i don't want ijo vs ime ogbe onitsha war those onitsha indigence are hot headed too, so we don't want ikwere ijo etc let them stay with SS no problem. We from the SE had accepted that we are blood related to be honest i prefer SE the way we are  |

| Re: River State Should Be Part Of The South East since Igbo have 6 governors by ak47mann(m): 5:47pm On Jul 02, 2011 |
i think part of delta state should come to SE  |
| Re: River State Should Be Part Of The South East since Igbo have 6 governors by vicenzo(m): 8:05pm On Jul 02, 2011 |
Uche2005: and remove delta,edo,bayelsa,sw,into benin republic,right? |
| Re: River State Should Be Part Of The South East since Igbo have 6 governors by vicenzo(m): 8:18pm On Jul 02, 2011 |
ak47mann:Create anioma state and move it into SE,sounds like a good plan,those other groups would finally be able to make warri the capital of delta state,like they have always wanted,and maybe onitsha and asaba can finally become one. |
| Re: River State Should Be Part Of The South East since Igbo have 6 governors by Nobody: 9:03pm On Jul 02, 2011 |

No only Rivers state but also Delta State. Rivers State is 70 % Igbo and the smae percentage of its people speaks Igbo. With Rivers State in the mix, we are one step closer to recieving full Igbo unity. My brothers, see behind this and look at the real fact, the Igbo people of Rivers State and Delta State, Namely Ikwerre and others must be united with the SE and only then can we advance as an Igbo nation. Please if you want a source for my facts, go to this link: http://www.igbofocus.com/html/rivers_state.html Even when I went to Port-Harcourt, some of the signs were written in Igbo and Igbo was spoken throughout the streets |

Calculia, please leave Benue out your calculation of Igbo pple. I challenged you to give me a single Village in Benue that is Igbo ancestry but you find it difficult to find an answer. When I said, Benue belong to Kwararafa I simply mean that the Idomas, Kutebs, Jukuns, Igalas, Tivs etc belong to the group that migrated from north Africa reffered to as Kwararafas that settle in the mordern day middle belt of Nigeria. In any future outlook, these group must flock together. If our elders and ruler feel that we should align with east, south, west, north or to even go solo then the NC assembly shall discuss. Expansion is good but any ambition to brand Benue or any part of it as Igbo will definetely suffer a set back not withstanding the cordial relationship that presently exist. The whole of Benue south that borders with Ebonyi,cross River and Enugu states are entirely Idoma and I am more familiar with the area than you do. Or is it from history of geography book that you red that of Igbos in Benue or north central? or your parents told you? Rather it is the pple of Igala and Idoma that live is clusters within Enugu Ejike and other parts of SE and not the other way round. |

Posted by: siokpeAifam-Owukpa in Ogbadibo LGA, Okpokwu is a Local Government Area of Benue State, Nigeria. In Benue u have entire local gov that have Igbo ancestry dat are refered to as Idoma ranging from Oju, Obi, Okpokwu, Ohimini to Ogbadibo LGA(Aifam-Owukpa village) The whole of Benue south that borders with Ebonyi,cross River and Enugu states are entirely Idoma(Igboid) and Efik groups with heavy mixing. The Idomas/ parts of Igalas and Igboid group should join to create the sixth southeast state. or all Benue zoned southeast, if dat will make Idomas HAPPY. Come back 2 your family becos we are many and not just igbo. There is efik, ibibio, ijaw, annang and many mor all this group don't cmplain about igbo domination and we coexist peacefully together and inter-marry. Join our region if it suits u.  |

Calculia, do not use this medium to mislead fellow nairalanders. I may not respond to you any more. After my rejoinder, I only expected you to be grateful that I have enligthened you. The person you are talking to is a native of Ogbadibo in Benue. The district that make of Ogbadibo are Otukpa, Orokam and Owukpa which the rest of Idomas refer to as Idoma enone. We dont have Igbos in our midst except those that are there doing their legitimate business like any other Nigerian. Our ancestors have never told us what you now want us to believe through nairaland forum. It is funny that you can refer to Ohimini LGA the home of Gen Lawrence Onoja which is not even near the border with the East. when you hear of villages like Ai-itabono, Ai-Okpe; Ai-Oodo etc which you tried to corrupt as AIFAM is similar to what u have as umu-okoro, umu-oji etc in Igbo. Having heard the truth, if u like u can now go to Otukpo which is the traditional hqters of the Idomas and mount Igbo flag and claim the land and add to S/E because the Annang, Ibibios, Efiks are in the SE. We are contended with sharing boundary with the SE and not to be part of it |
| Re: River State Should Be Part Of The South East since Igbo have 6 governors by Calculia: 6:28pm On Jul 04, 2011 |
Look believe wat u like. Fact Idoma is a Igboid group. There are Igbo speaking areas in Benue and the people termed Idoma. Not all of dem share your we are contend belief and many might want to leave to the southeast. Time will tell. On the other hand, If Nigeria do split Benue will come crawling to join Southeastern Nigeria once the Almajiris start their offensive. We await the prodigal son. |
| Re: River State Should Be Part Of The South East since Igbo have 6 governors by bashr4: 7:08pm On Jul 04, 2011 |
siokpe: they are idoma not igbo but the point is that they are closely related to the easteners igbo,efik,anang,ibibio etc rather than the northerners so yes benue should be a southeast state (southeast state does not =igbo state). same with the igala, the west igala can join edo or SW while the east igala can Form a state with the idoma and join the SE ,TIV can decide where to go. |
| Re: River State Should Be Part Of The South East since Igbo have 6 governors by ezeagu(m): 8:27pm On Jul 04, 2011 |
First of all Idoma is not an 'Igboid' group, second Igala don't have to split themselves for anybody, and third Tiv is not coming anywhere near the south east. |

you are a cheap propagandist,the obi of owa was at the fore front of chasing igbos away from ika land by assisting general muritala to expel biafra, and biafra declared him wanted dead or alive. 2. obi of owa is not a member of ohaneze ndigbo and he can never be, if he says in any book that owa has nri migration ,yes he is right but he also says owa has benin migrations too, infact benin established owa and so owa is part of ika ethnicity and not igbo ethnicity.so get that right, 3. owa people have said that they belong to ika ethnicity and that owa was founded by benin before igbo people came. |

bashr4: Not just the Ikwerres. Some Nsukka people during the war started giving their children northern tribal marks to prevent attack. So, the Ikwerres were not blame. They are Igbos. Its funny to say that CHIBUIKE AMECHI is not igbo. I once had an Ikwerre Girl Friend, she's just like every other Igbo girl. If I play Oliver de Coque and Osadebe, she told me that her father wouldn't go to bed without playing them. Ikwerre is Igbo. Odili was among the Igbo Governors. In Ikwerre Land, its either your mum is from the South East or your grand Mum. Ask around. |

For more details,check out benue state website. |

agbotaen: you are a cheap propagandist,the obi of owa was at the fore front of chasing igbos away from ika land by assisting general muritala to expel biafra, and biafra declared him wanted dead or alive. Shut up. The obi of owa and other clans did feign hostility towards retreiving biafran soldiers,so as to escape the massacre that the nigerian government/army planned for them and the hostility of other mid-western ethnic groups, it was simply survival instinct,it wasn't something done with glory like you paint it,so go and sit down. Owa is and will always be an Nri(nshi) enclave. Odogwu ensured that when he won the battle to lead owa,against your bini ancestor( Ofien) and his bini people,deal with it. Obi efeizomor,the obi of Owa,a descendant of odogwu,had since upheld his nri(nshi) ancestry,and re affirmed that majority of owa is of nri,of course,he is well aware of ofien and his bini people,who are but minorities in owa,right from the beginning,even till now. Efeizomor doesn't have to be a member of ohaneze ndigbo,ohaneze ndigbo can't contain all the ezes,obis,ezenwali,onye ishi's,igwes,etc in igboland. They simply do representative democracy. Eze ilomuanya represents all traditional rulers in SE, while prof edozien,the asagba of asaba represents the traditional rulers in anioma and indeed,the whole of igboland,as he is an ohaneze grand patron. Agbontae,anytime you bini minorities are tired of odogwu and his descendants reign in owa,which will always be an nri hegemony,as odogwu had nri ancestry,you can do us a favour,and relocate back to edo state,i am sure they will welcome you back. 2 Likes |
