Igboid:
Hate must be doused with even stronger hate.
In relationships between nations, there is no place for love. Only hate! Real peace is achieved in international arena when hate equals hate and a stable state of MAD (mutual assured destruction) is established.

Look at Israel for example. For every single attack Palestinians throw at Israel, Israel will through ten at them, making sure to inflict maximum damage and paint on them by attacking and killing their children, women and everything they hold dear.
So that anytime a Palestinian wants to attack Israel, he will know that he will pay with the blood of his wife, mother, children, sisters and brothers, and this knowledge will ensure he applies caution.

This is how we should treat any hate directed towards us from any quarters.
Those directing the hate towards us, must be made to feel our own hate too.

iseeee.

Ooni:
Someone mistakes Bonny for so-called Ikwerre. "so-called" because what is today called ikwerre just like anioma ibos , and like ekiti toois more of a cultural area than a people with common origin. They migrated from various various other areas in Iboland. for instance, the founder of isiokpo itself was a man called Okpo nwagidi said to come from Awka but there are still aro migrants in in isiokpo. Much of Obio akpor came from ngwa while areas such as Diobu, Elelenwa are much older settlements themselves. This just a reflection of cross migrations and settlement in the wider Iboland. this is why even among them there still exist variations in dialects. Do you even know there are Ikwerre settlements in about two towns Anambra?

Although there was no Ibo nationalism in precolonial times, it was clear that Igboland was a homogeneous entity and communities had no issue relating. It was clear also that pre-1970 when Ibo nationalism had started, the ikwerre like other Ibos were nationalistic. It is safe therefore to aver that the inertia to Ibo nationalism exhibited by many of them operates from the Nigerian state's systematic and consistent policy aimed at culturally disarticulating them from the Ibo whole.

I read books about our history, the ibo history and that of igala. This happed in yorubaland too

sshhh. Ikwerres have left the Igbo ship , they are not , but I just told them their pathetic history.
we are not in any ethnic union with those landsellers,
but they must drop Igbo identities

Udmaster:
so Ikwerres are slaves descendants? I have always suspected because no precolonial Niger delta map feature anything ikwerre.
they are irrelevant to Igbo nation, fvk them hahahahahahahahahahaha

yes dear, they are.
lol no wonder they are desperate to claim benin

JudasNaCarrot:
That your post is full of misinformation and concerted lies to deceive and portray an ethnic minority group just because yours wants to swallow them up which they resist.
The Igbos are known for their ethnic superiority anywhere they found themselves. They try to dominate and subjugate the aboriginal communities and take charge. They are always in conflict with their host communities because they see themselves superior.
Go to every land from Lagos to Sokoto, Adamawa to Kwara it is same story. They can never be loyal and submissive to constituted authority except they are they ones in charge.
No wonder Nzeogwu and his Igbo brothers systematically murdered all the top militatry and political office holders from the North in cold blood but refused to kill even an ant from their own ethnic group.
Ojukwu followed suit by not being loyal to the newly constituted government of Gowon after the counter coup citing seniority. But this is a coup, not an appointment. Anyone, even a sergeant can become the head of state if he since stage a coup. But because the Igbos doesnt like to obey the laws of the land, be submissive they rebelled against the federal government.
What was the result.....They can never rule this country again because they are not trusted.

Give Igbos a chance by selling a plot of land to him in your community, he would want to buy the whole community and establish his own kingdom with "IGWE"

I will advise the Igbos to leave that small ethnic minority group alone and focus on how to group themselves together and fight a common interest for their own benefit.
Imagine every big nationality have ruled this country since 1999, even a the 5rd ethnic majority,Ijaw have ruled. Tinubu, a Yoruba man is warming up to again from the west, yet the Igbos can't do nothing other than looking for another ethnic group to dominate and swallow because of oil and access to the Sea.

Shame on the you who wrote this useless and misleading article.

I feel ur pain dear.
Nobody is claiming them , I am telling them their real pathetic history.
nobody is talking about ruling Nigeria, the lasted I checked the foolish amaechi is not fighting for ikwerre presidency because he knows how inferior his people are in Nigeria so he think that he can take Igbo slot, Impossible he is not one.
Ikwerres have nothing to bring to Igbo table, they have tiny oil and they are landlocked, always make research before making noise , Obeaku in Abia is far closer to Atlantic than any ikwerre water .
bye dummmmy

Igboid:
Hmm.
Ikwerre is surely going to start feeling the full fury of Igbo hate towards them from hence forth. That's the truth.
Many of us are fed up with them and their Igbophobia.
I don't know their history or where they came from, but I know that every single Ikwerre man was raised and nurtured from birth to adulthood with a toxic Igbo hate.
We can't ignore them anymore. They should stay away from us, including those of them in Ohaneze Ndiigbo and other Igbo organizations.

Thank you nwanne,
this is their real history, they have left the Igbo ship , but they must be told their pathetic history.
nobody has a monopoly of hate, I believe in brutal destroying on any Igbophobic neverdowells.

Tranquill:
Asewo you are osu. Nnamdi Kanu has made idiots like you to think you are relevant. I look at your face and what I see are those Igbo prostitutes in Ghana.

lol Oriaku knows how to hit a nerve.

I want to inform everyone here about the truthful origin and genesis of the Ikwerre identity crisis,
It didn't start because of the war, No rather it started from slave trade .
Ikwerre elders know this truth,
during the Aro Confederacy between the Arochukwus,Okrikas, and Ibibios , it was built on Slave trade and other products export,
it was a successful partnership that saw a lot of products coming in and going out through okrika waterways, no wonder Igbos call imported reused cloths "Okrika" to point to where it was imported through back in those days,
so the Aros captured a lot of innocent people
in the Ibo hinterlands and sold them through Okrika waterways , when the British banished slave trade ,they sent a task force to go and arrest those slave traders and free the slaves in cage waiting to be sold,
they came and arrested some Aro chiefs including some okrika chiefs who engaged in that evil trade and free those slaves in slavecamps waiting to be sold, since they can't remember where they came from ,they settled in etche forests and some okrika territories, those people are the IKWERRES,
they were later populated by etche, Ngwa, ngor okpuala migrants,
That is the origin why they started hating people from the Igbo hinterland where Aros came from for trying to sell them,
now when the British established port Harcourt for exportation of Enugu coal through rail , the Igbos from hinterlands populated the town which is 80% on Ikwerre land, the hinterland migrants were prospering and having Influence, the ikwerres hated it especially because or these descendants of people who sold some of their people to slave trade , the only way to revenge and take hold of port Harcourt is to deny being Igbo and hate anybody from the hinterland, the civil war gave them the perfect opportunity to implement it,
If you read Elechi Amadi works, he once cited that he has no problem with all Igbos or accepting being Igbo but He has an issue with Aros.
why? He knows the real truth,
The Akalaka and Benin forged migration story is used to beef up their battered self esteem , there is no atom of truth in it.
since 1967 The ikwerres have been fighting the truth till date yet they have not succeeded in burying the truth because nothing can defeat the truth.
This is the real origin of this whole identity brouhaha, Ask any very elderly Okrika man, he will confirm what I just wrote.
Dear Ikwerres, you are free to be whatever you want but You can NEVER be a distinct ethnic nation with Igboid identity, NEVER, drop it and go create your own, Simple.
I am not claiming you guys beside it is your son Rotimi Amaechi that goes about claiming being Igbo .
history is history, even the Ogonis and Ijaws know ur real history.

Oriaku Amara loves you all.
[/s] You people from south east is disgracing Igbo nation, what hard to accept that ikwerre people are not Igbo? Must we open thread on this issue? When a man worship a lady too much he will not get the respect he deserved but when a man be the man he should be he will get the deserved respect, Igbo people from south east should let ikwerre people be and possibly deny them.

nwannem nwanyi, I hate them with passion too but I want to tell them their real history.
read the post very well

MelesZenawi:
why this

because the Truth is the truth

mrvitalis:
Slave trade happened roughly 200 years ago ...u can't develop a unique Igbo language and culture with several sub dialects in 200 years

Etche language is far from ikwerri ....ikwerri is closer to owerri if u listen well

is Ikwerre a distinct language? what is ur point?
I didn't say that they speak same dialect with etche, don't misquote me,
we are here to discuss their real history, don't quote me again,
you behave like efulefu sometimes, go and learn the ethics of ethnic politics in Nigeria.

sageb:
Akalaka was no slave to anyone, rather in his sojourn, he married women from another tribe. So my Rivers sister, you are in a better position to tell the truth about the Ikwerre-Igbo dichotomy rather than the above claim. Akalaka was no slave to anyone, rather in his sojourn, he married women from another tribe.

Akalaka never existed, it was forged during the war,
ignore the Benin migration crap

Kiddo01:
Are you sure you're not confused, have you forgotten your previous post?
http://saharareporters.com/2017/06/27/gov-wike-rivers-state-not-part-biafra

I am seeing a link, not "my previous post" as you claimed

mrvitalis:
okrika land stops at mile one fly over ... Diobu was ikwerri farm lands ...mile 4 people ...are party aro rumueme people ....but ikwerri lands have always been there no one can deny it ...

The igbos in okrika Morgan and ndubisi family are still proud of their Igbohood

you are not understanding the argument here, stop derailing the post, we are here to discuss how these ikwerres came to be.
yes they are on their land , but before they settled there due to slave trade, which people own the land?
onu ugba

mrvitalis:
Yes slaves are parts of not only ikwerri but opobo , Bonny , okrika , and ikwerri ...but people have always exited in the ikwerri land and by history are igbos .but if they say otherwise fine

Ikwerre land originally belong to the okrikas and etches, They settled there due to slave trade.
stop arguing , many know their pathetic hiatory

mrvitalis:
What's this talk ...there is arochukwu settlement in ikwerri like every other Igbo nation

Amadioha shrine is in etche Rivers State


If they say they are not igbos good and fine I don't give too bleep

Ikwerri is landlocked and no oil ..so why do they think we want their land ...for what ?

The Aro settlement there was created by pure Aro migrants in order not to be confused as Slave descendants like the rest of ikwerres.
I am not claiming them .

read the thread very well,I am not claiming them, I am trying to tell them their real history.
go and verify among the elderly Okrika people.
I am a Rivers woman , versed in history, proudly married to Anambra.
so anything SE or SS issue, I have right to speak

Oriaku Amara loves you all.

Ikwerres origin is from slave trade, they are descendants of slaves the Arochukwus captured from Ibo hinterlands and sold through okrika waterways,
when slave trade ended, some of them who were waiting to be sold were released and they settled in their present location only to be populated by migrants from etche, ngwa etc
that's the origin of the hatred against Igbos in the hinterland.
ikwerre elders know this history

Onlinesmart:
This is a mere consolation for you and your fellow emotional wailers. Deep down, you know no Nigerians would willingly vote someone from the east. Nigerians would rather vote another Ijaw man ahead of igbo.

but the same Nigerians rejected ur awolowo in 1979, even zik came second ahead of him
so what happened,

B3ACHSIDE:
Nigeria is one of the most disorganized countries in the world, most of it's cities unplanned. I think urban planning should be prioritized and almost everything needs to be demolished,re-planned, and rebuilt from scratch.
I did a rough estimate of how much it would cost to compensate all homeowners in Calabar & Cross river and it amounts to $2.4 billion dollars for Calabar area , $4 Billion dollars for Cross river as a whole .

I love reading your threads, you are foresighted and modern in thinking,
demolishing a city like calabar is a nearly an impossible task rather the govt should target a thick forested rural area ,compensate the land owners there and develop the area with a good European styled urban planning.

why are some yorubas bitter over Igbo success? I said some

Rwanda is the same landmass size with South East Nigeria and it is a landlocked country yet they are doing well.
kudos to them

omenka:
Beautiful. This is what Wike was trying to protect from those hairy chested, yam legged, criminals he said are responsible for all the crimes in the state.
