Topmaike007:
not only the Ikwere are the ones sidelining themselves we have the Anioma clans and mind you Ikwere is not a tribe but a Clan under igbo tribe.the aftermath of what happened in Rivers when Adekunle and Gowon run them street during the civil that's when they decided not to allign themselves and that's when oil have been discovered in there land they decided to be on there own..

Then on the part of Anioma that's Asaba, Agbor, Kwale, Oligbo, Ibrode, Ibusa, Gbanke, Igbodo, Igbuku, Illah, Isa-Ogwashi, Iselegu, Isheagu, Isikiti-Ishiagu, Issele-Azagba, Issele-Mkpitime, Issele-Uku, Isumpe, Kwale, Mbiri, Ndemiri, Ndokwa, and Abbi.
They wanted a state then and in 1996 some igbo politicians including Dr Ogbonanya Onu after getting to know that some indigenous igbo speaking clans will get lost into the north central if Anioma state is created outside Delta,then they drop the hope of enlisting Anioma with the likes of Ekiti, Kebbi etc to create Ebonyi state even almost 3-4 local government of igbo speaking clan eventually went with Benue to the north they'reUmuezeokoha, Umuezeoka, Oriuzor, Umuoghara, Amaekka and Amaezekwe all in Ezza communities, Izzi, Ezzamgbo and Effium, but they still save the others and Ebonyi state was created instead of Anioma state and the elders in Anioma were unhappy and some started telling there children that they are not Igbos because they felt betrayed..

That's just the summary

Thank you for expatiating 👏👏👏

Ikwere is not Igbo

Nobody is Igbo. Did it stop them from marginalising you and raping your resources?

Make everybody rest abeg.

Thunder or bomb will kill u. Who told u that ikwerre are not igbos who originated from or migrated from Nkwerre in imo state.

vanitybutiwanti:
Why are the igbos so rude and aggresive , one event went as far as alleging that drug dealers caught abroad are ikwerre when we all know that ikwerre people don't travel and they don't have this money crazy ideology like the igbos. The people refuse to identify as igbos, why are you forcing them to be igbos, is it by force? That's how you guys are trying to force and co opt the entire Niger delta into your biafran nonsense. Stop trying to bully people to be Igbo, you guys lost the war in 1967 because of this obnoxious attitude.

Sniper101:

Oh well. I can't say I've ever heard of all these places you've just mentioned.

Therefore, I rest my case

You don't know Port Harcourt if you have never heard of Abuloma,Isaka Borokiri, Bundu Ama, Amadi Ama,Tere Ama
and honestly you should keep quiet

sageb:


This your question is so hilarious

That's my maternal trybe and that's what we get to hear all all d time.

Obigbos are not igbos. U changed Obigbo to Oyigbo and many other communities in rivers state to make them forget that they were originally igbos. Fulani mumus

Thunder will kill your father and your mother. Ikwerre people said they are not Igbo, why are you forcing them to be Igbo? Face your life and stop trying to force other people to identify with you.

Greeting style
Ikwerre anu meka!

Dieli!!

This is how an Ikwerre man greets a gathering of other men:

Nderiya mma!

Oyoyo!!

This is how an Ikwerre man greets a gathering of women or an Ikwerre woman greets a gathering of other women:

Oro anu werum o! or Nde wem rishim duru eli!

Owe!!

This is how an Ikwerre woman greets a gathering of men:
When it’s morning you greet by asking; Iwhiala? Answer; Owe

When it’s night you greet by saying; Chibo

At any other time of the day you say either; Iziamu? Answer; Owe.or Nda? Answer; Oburuoma

But mind you ikwerri us not igbo

I have added more knowledge to DAT which have already about Ikwerres.....Meka my broda !!!

hassan4:
Ikwerre is Igbo. Stop deceiving yourself. An Igbo clan that eminated from Nkwerre in Imo State. You speak Igbo, bear Igbo names, oberve Igbo culture and deny your identity cos of political divide.

I didn't want to comment on this thread but you made me.

I'm from Nkwerre and, on most of our major festivals we always have emissaries from Ikwerre and we usually attend theirs too

unisnaira:
You see your shallow mentality. Reason why most Rivers citizens and even Delta's and Bayelsans with enough oil resources don't want to associate or join Biafra because an Igbo man always see other south south Igbo related speaking region as inferior Igbo.

Igbo man with dominance mentality, reason Notherners and most Southerners treat you people as second hand citizen in Nigeria, never to taste Presidency and other important key power positions in Nigeria since 1999 till date.

You don't know some of the people who make these useless remarks are just other ethnicities trying to cause issues

Ikwerre: A confused sub Igbo tribe. They are suffering from inferiority complex and identity crisis. They are trying soo hard to be accepted by Nigeria by denying their true identity. Half claim to be Igbo (like Amaechi), half claim to be Bini (like Wike). They speak Igbo, bear Igbo names, eat Igbo food, practice Igbo traditions but say THEY ARE NOT Igbo, just to keep the supporter of APC happy.
They can kill and betray their Igbo brothers to make Nigeria happy. Wike did it in Obigbo before Tambuwal show am pepper

thinkmoney:

Na una wey no sabi debate intellectually they always use this dey play phrase,
Ikwerre is a dialect of Igbo, like Ondo and ijebu are dialect of yoruba
They have the same market days like Igbos, the same Gods and share same geographical area.
Ikwerre somehow are like bitter brothers. They are like modern day Ukraine to Russia.
Again I emphasize that, culturally, geographically, ethnically, biologically and linguistically they aren’t different from Igbos

oga go rest abeg

alhajiabdulbuha:
My grandfather told me that ikwerre people have their origin from Nkwerre in Imo State. He gave me concrete proves. Who can disprove this? But the struggle by northern Nigeria to give River state a new identity that will make them erase the truth and history that they were really pure Igbos to enhance north's control of the major oil producing state in Nigeria.

I'm from Nkwerre. Whenever we have major festivals we always have emissaries from Ikwerre. The Ikwerre migrated from Nkwerre

An emissary is often a person who is sent somewhere in order to act as a representative.
