Any Igbo tribe in Rivers that let envious people influence their origin only have themselves to be blame.
If Igbos eventually leave Nigeria, those other tribes will always see those igbo speaking tribes in Rivers state as Igbos and they will be treated same way they will treat the Igbos of the eastern region.
Hardly will someone see any topic that can uplift the masses from poverty, rather how to hate Igbos is their main objective. Very nonsense political agenda.

DaTruths:


What makes one an igbo?

Your forbearers told you.

NATIONALPASTOR:


Can't you see how sick and deranged you are ?

Real ikweres knows it was Yoruba's and Northerners that killed them during Biafra war.

This was why Yoruba's removed history from a subject to be studied in Nigerian schools.

What are they hiding?

It was Igbos. Not Yorubas or Hausa. We are conscious and old enough to differentiate who is who. The Igbos did and not only the ikwerres but to other minorities of the Delta.

You people actually dont know or remember history. That is why on nairaland the same topics are vomited up every two weeks by childish Niggers under the African son.

“During the 2007 PDP presidential primaries, Pa Clark was very vocal in declaring Chief Peter Odili, former governor of Rivers state an Igbo and claimed that Igbos should not represent the Niger Delta.”

If you are looking for source go to google and research before talking crap.

Nigeria is not and will never be a country.
It is a business arrangement that Europeans created for their descendants to be rich and have jobs.

That is why the Barclays League is rich…. Those owners and even Barclays Bank made their money from dealing with slaves and Lazy Niggers..

But of course, how do you guys know such…. Only Big Brother Naija with blacks doing nothing tangible except vanity…..

Too bad for una

If I ever become ohaneze president ikwerre would be expelled that same day

Yes ooh ndoni, egbema, ohaji, etche omuma, obigbo and ekpeye are free to join

Even the Igbo speaking part of okrika are free to join

But you see ikwerre never

Ikwerre are the reason I want Niger Delta republic to be a reality

Same ikwerre that were begging for port Harcourt state to be added to South East as an Igbo state because I jaws were dealing with them, same people now feel they have arrived

Look at this boy that finished from Stella Maris College, Port Harcourt in 2016 has come online in a faceless forum to write Jargons about what he knows nothing about. Somebody that finished secondary school yesterday is talking with all animal boldness. In what year were you born.

When your father sits you down and fabricates a story, you start throwing narratives about.

Lmaooo by 2016 I was a graduate serving

Secondly I don't need my father to tell me any story when I can read

Ikwerre are not worthy to be called igbos let them stay on their own

There are many igbos in rivers state outside ikwerre

But I want it irreversibly official that ikwerre are not igbos and can never come back to the Igbo nation fold

Because I trust the ijaws

gidgiddy:


Igbos have long gone past this stage, Ikwerres make up just about 3 local governments, not really something anyone breaks their head over. There are more Igbos carved into Benue State than that, who want to be carved back into Ebonyi state

Lolz. 4LGAs actually. And those 4LGAs is roughly half the size of Abia state, if not more. Someone made a thread on that years ago.

Ikwere are bigots

Still too small for anyone to give themselves headache over

Ikwere ti ronu

If you say so.

Igbos just constituting an embarrassment to themselves everywhere.

People are rejecting you because of your hateful, narcissistic ways.

Nobody wants anything to do with you.

Secede with your 5 states and let us hear word please.

Unwanted guests.

Whalis:

Your forbearers told you.

Did ikwerre forebearers told them they weren't igbo in 18th Century, or just within and after the war?

DaTruths:

Nobody is Igbo, igbo is a combination of tribes that shares the igbo language.

What concerns an onitsha man and an Aba man if not language?

Does an Awka man and an Enugu man shares the same forebearers? No.

So nobody is igbo in that case

Longinyamapucci:


Shut up, Rivers is Igbo land.

@Longdickinyamamapucci how can Port Harcourt be Igbo land

Longinyamapucci:


Shut up, Rivers is Igbo land.

If Igbo were native to Port Harcourt area how come the Ikwerre were able to drive them away even before the war started?

How come they actually had places to go to (their true ancestral villages? )

It is difficult to convince an Ikwerre man with this. An Ikwerre man calls the igbos Isuoma. The meaning is good servant.

I'm not trying to convince an ikwerre man, I'm just telling you that nobody is an igbo. It is the language that makes one an igbo.
Its not as if all the people that speaks igbo shares a common grand parent the way Israel shares Abraham.

Why doesn't ijaws, ibibios, and other ethnic group speak igbo? Because they are not igbo.

Do you know that onitsha originated from old Bini empire? But due to the language and proximity, they see themselves as igbos.

If i travel to Uk, bear kids and spend all my life there, do you know my kids would become English? Just my first generation for that matter.
So what actually makes one an igbo is the language, many tribes that identifies as igbos originated from somewhere else.

Ikwere is a small clan in Igbo land like others, no one drive any as you can see the dominant speakers in pH.Yoruba Man.

Because both ikwere and majority are igbos you can't change yourself.

Like Lagos is for aworis clan.

You are right in the phase of the prism you are explaining from.
The ikwerres are saying that they have no relationship with the igbos not even in language.

Ikwerres speaks more igbo than 98% of Ebonyi indigenes.

But if they say it's Swahili they speak, that's still good.

This is where we have the problem. Igbos might be probably speaking Ikwerre. You can't tell the which came first, the egg or the hen?

Assuming igbos are actually speaking ikwerre, that means igbos are ikwerre and not igbo.

Here you are! This is what we have been telling them. Today America speaks English. There are more speakers of English than it is in England. Going by number and without history one could say England is America. Or the language belongs to America.

Whatever the scenario is, the bottom line is that the ikwerres and others that speaks ikwerre (igbo) are under the same big umbrella which is a common language they share together, where everyone now have their own distinct heritage.

Any side can call it anything.

You can't convince an ikwerre that he's igbo, and an ikwerre can't convince a Fulani that he isn't igbo.

Same with the people of Etche that doesn't consider themselves igbo but speaks igbo.

Are they ikwerre also?

No one will like to associate with Terrorists and failure. Tell them to imbibe good character and moral that give no room for Terrorist and unrest . The Ikwerre people will beg to join them.

Oh please shut up

Nobody seems to like sauthyeast people both within and outside Nigeria. They need to sit down snd reflect on their behaviour and character. All countries know these breed of Nigerians as separate from the rest. Ask the president of UAE, he will tell you who they are.
