Abagworo:Ikwerres although smaller in number but claims to be of blue blood. Associating them with Igbos tend to provoke them. Another way of calling an Ikwerre man a bastard is to call him an Igbo man. I am Ikwerre and I know this. Any Ikwerre man U call Nye Isoma can harm you if he has the opportunity. If you see Amaechi which igbos claim he is Igbo just call him Nye Isoma and see if you would leave with your skin intact. 4 Likes |

Abifarin16:Bros igbos are surprisingly under reasoning. Igbos and Ikwerres share some words. Igbos know that apart from words there is no other way of life they have in common with the Ikwerres. Igbos just as Ikwerre do not have any history of anytime togetherness with the Ikwerres. Igbos came to Port Harcourt and realised that some Ikwerre words are same with them and instead of seeing them as brothers prefer to own them. If I am your brother I am not you. We might have had same ancestry. No Ikwerre oral history has any information of Ikwerre ties with the Igbos. The only Igbos we know are the Aros and the Ngwas. The Ngwas were known as headhunters in Ikwerre land while the Aros were dubious with their long juju. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Whalis:Bullshit. There is nothing like she sings in Ikwerrre. She sings in igbo language because that's her native language. The Celine Dion analogy does not work here. It was a Nigerian military politicians that created Rivers state, Abia state and the likes. It was not God that did it. How you can restrict a people into artificial States created very recently by a fellow Nigerian illiterate is funny. The people that did the partition did it for political reasons. There were not thinking about linguistic or ethnic accuracy when they did it. It was not an accurate exercise and should not be used beyond the political administration purposes it was meant for. 3 Likes |

Re: She Is Ikwerre And Not Igbo by CSTRR: 6:41am On Aug 13, 2023 |
PortHarcourtcit:There is no ethnic group in Nigeria that has more highly accomplished men and women in every sphere of endeavor than the Igbo. They have thousands of Ngozi kekwaru. So that your argument is irrelevant. Linguistic and ethnic accuracy is the point here. If we are discussing politics, then yes, Rivers state is very distinct from the South east since it now belongs to the south South and for good reason. But when it comes ethnic nations and linguistic accuracy, then that is a different ball game. 2 Likes |

I am from Delta state, but some of my people were carved out into Edo State,where they are marginalized today. So if we are discussing ethnicity and linguistic accuracy,I should forget my people in Edo state because one mad man in govt created the partition? 4 Likes |

CSTRR:You claim you are from Delta state and you're arguing with Whalis who claim to be an ikwerre man from Rivers state. It was the white man that created the eastern region. Before the arrival of the white men, there was nothing like eastern region. Ikwerre is not Igbo. 3 Likes |

bender79: The Ruler of Ilorin when the British arrived was a Yoruba man called Balogun Alanamu it was Balogun alanamu and his followers that the British fought for the Control of Ilorin The British then reinstaled an Emir in Ilorin after the defeat of balogun Yoruba Inakoju alanamu due to Political Pressure from Northern Emirs . The Emir of Ilorin had been defeated and deposed by the Ilorin Yoruba Chiefs led by Balogun Alanamu years before the British arrived. The British left at Independence after an agreement was made to have a referendum over Kwara State. The Post independence Government of Balewa and Azikiwe frustrated that referendum by not carrying out the Kwara referendum which should have happened at the same time as the Midwest referendum because it was clear that the People of Kwara wanted to be in Awolowo's Western Region and in order to cripple Awolowo and his Party Politically after Awolowo had been jailed in 1962 Balewa and Azikiwe also didn't Carry out the other referendums agreed with the British before independence meant for the Eastern and Northern Minority Ethnic groups. Ilorin still has an Emir because of Colonial and Tribal Politics Sardauna Ahmadu Bello in his Biography described Ilorin as a 200 year old " Staggering Headache" for the Sokoto Caliphate to the extent that the Sultan of Sokoto had to warn the Emir of Gwandu to hands off anything to do with Ilorin and keep a very low Profile because of the Constant War Yorubas fought over it. . 1 Like 1 Share

Those still in doubt about these issues should watch this video. The Ikwerre man said clearly he is Igbo but not Isoma but they and Isoma belong to a larger Igbo nation. During the civil war the federal forces in a bid to divide Igbos invaded their villages disguised as Biafran soldiers but they were able to apprehend some of them and they turned out to be Hausa speakers. He further stated clearly that they were forced at gunpoint to change their names and renounce being Igbo or get killed by the federal forces. He is not a politician but a Chief in Emohua so he got no gain or loss from saying the truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZQXoR17xts |
