Evidence Of Ikwerre Benin Origin- Ikwerre Was A Benin Word 'ikue' by MyopicMods: 8:08pm On Mar 16, 2022 |
Evidence of Ikwerre Benin Origin- Ikwerre was a Benin Word 'Ikue' The name "Ikwerre" used to identify the Iwhuruohna people was a misinterpretation of the Benin word Ikue' meaning 'I agreed'. This word came into use when an Igbo translator who came with British to Port-Harcourt during when British officials were embarking on a project in Port Harcourt told the Iwhuruohna people about the British intention to embark on a project in what is now Port Harcourt and Iwhurouhna people replied 'Ikue' meaning agreed. From that day, the Igbo translator started referring to them as Ikueee/Ikwerre people and the white men copied from there. Permit me to name just few Ekpeye-Ogba-Ikwerre Benin ancestral names names: 1. Owonda 2. Bekweri 3. Chinda 4. Chikaire 5. Omopi 6. Omosa 7. Osaripko 8, Ogbakiri 9. Omoku 10, Nsika ..All these are Ekpeye-Ogba-Ikwerre (Benin) names. 1 Like |
