I only have one word about this transformation "HOT"

Tranquill:
In Ikwerreland you see Doctors, engineers, Directors, Accountants, Scientists, Professors, Vice Chancellors, Governors, Judges, lawyers, Senior Advocates of Nigeria including two former national presidents of the Nigerian Bar Association where some Igbo states can’t even boast of one.

The reasonable human beings and innovative minds that the Ikwerre people don’t have but abounds in Igboland includes, drug peddlers to China, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Brasil etc. who when they get caught, they start crying “I am not proud to be a Nigerian” and expecting people to have pity for them; The Ikwerres don’t have drug rats in the streets of Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa etc. Prostitutes in Austria, Germany, Dubai etc. They don’t deposit their fellow human beings as collateral for drug deals in Pakistan and run away while disgracing themselves and the entire black race publicly. Also, Ikwerre people don’t do money rituals even with their family members including their parents so that they get chieftaincy titles and start moving about with some quality Igbo touts.

Think about it and tell me what reasonable human beings and innovative minds means to you. Mtchwww!

That is how you know a great nation. A great nation like the igbos must have all manner of characters so that it will make it difficult for them to go into oblivion.
Seriously Mr ikwerre tell me one good thing that has been done by an ikwerre and don't blame it on your size, size doesn't equate might
And don't bother asking me the same question because I can list even the best, the good, the bad, the ugly and the ugliest done by great igbo sons and daughters throughout the history of earth

RTSC:
But amaechi is claiming that he is an igbo man.

I guess he did not get the memo.

He is claiming igbo because of his presidential ambition

vicenzo:
Well thats the big problem we have.
Putting emotions ahead of pragmatism.
It makes it easy for other groups to exploit us.

Naturally, there is no difference between how the average Yoruba bigot see the Igboman and how the Ikwerre see the Igbo. In fact, the Ikwerre is worst.
The Igbo man who has ever lived in Ph knows this. The Ikwerres never fail to show him hate and ridicule every single day, yet because an Ikwerre bear an Igbo name or speak an igbo dialect, the emotional Igbo will want to pretend like he can't see how Igbophobic these people are.
I personally will choose a Yoruba man over an Ikwerre, because Yorubas are far away from me.

Many times an Ikwerre man posts something on NL and an.average Igbo will start calling the Ikwerre man afonja, because he is yet to grasp the fact that there is no difference between Ikwerre and Yoruba . If in doubt, go to Ikwerre rant HQ Facebook page and see real Ikwerres.

Our people are living in illusions , and don't want to wake up. If not, this Ikwerre issue should have been done with by now, but here we are in 2020 still going in circles.

Wisdom, onye mu na ya so achu nta so na ukwu mu di ka ukwu anu m gbaa ya m gbaa ma anu. Anu na ebe ka m si ebe na eri ka m si eri chiputa m ukwu n'ama si na mu yiri anu ozo m gbaa ya ogige
They say the devil that you know is better than the angel you don't know. I still maintain that the best business associates in Nigeria are hausa and Igbo quote me anywhere
But you see those people that choose to identity with any ethnic group of their choice whenever they see fit are like harlots with no commitment, they are worse than snake
People like that bring nothing but embarrassment and public disgrace to the the ethnicity that harbours them
They are quick to learn your language and customs but will shame you in public with it that you cannot deny that they were not initially part of you and after that they will jump to the next available naive ethnicity

DissTroy:
You are definitely ignorant of Nigeria's tribal composition.

Ibibios are the fourth largest tribe in Nigeria and the largest in the South South.
Ijaw is the fifth largest in Nigeria and the second largest in the South South.

Ikwerre isn't a tribe but a relatively small ethnic group. The Oros in Akwa Ibom are even larger than Ikwerre.

True, ikwerre is just a community in rivers but do you believe that ibibio and ijaw are more than nupe or kanuri in population?

vicenzo:
What is the,population of Ikwerre to give Bini majority status.

A unity formed out of falsehood will never stand the test of time. If adding Ikwerre and other Bini claiming Igboid groups like Ogba, Ekpeye and Etche will make Binis majority group overnight, then I wish them goodluck.

For Ndiigbo, unity with Igbophobic and bitter Igboid groups in SS is counter productive, its like harbouring a snake in your house or a mad rabies infected dog. Its only a matter of when and not if, before it bites you.
With 5 SE states, we are already a majority group.
We don't need confused Bini wannabes if we know what we are doing. We should be the ones rejecting them and returning their hate back to them.
But when I look at Ohanaeze Ndiigbo and see an Ikwerre man as its Secretary General, or I see Ipobs claiming Ikwerre people despite the ridicule and insults they bring to us, I come to h realization that Ndiigbo really lack direction and don't know what we are doing.

What they are doing now is what they did to clinch that secretary general in ohaneze Ndigbo, they worked on the members emotions and they fumbled, now they are trying to use this igbo exit to gain needed popularity across igbo land but it will backfire because right now the igbos are now looking towards homogeneity

vicenzo:
Ipob dey fall hand seriously.

But what about Ohanaeze Ndiigbo? Those useless lots still have Ikwerrre persons in their midsts holding sensitive positions.
You can imagine an Ikwerre man is currently Ohanaeze Ndiigbo Secretary General.

Thats how useless the organisation is.
We really have a leadership vacuum in Igboland, that's exactly what Ikwerre people are exploiting.

I just addressed that. The only problem is that some online warriors here are just pawns in this game.
The question right now is what does bini stand to gain?
The answer is simply number, we all know how our ethnocentric political system works, becoming one of the major ethnicity in this country makes the FG take your requests seriously . So my brother it's all about politics and economy

Bkayyy:
You sound like a fellow historian.

All these ikwerre brouhaha is all about politics and economical warfare
The ikwerre claiming bini is to cockhold Ndigbo and increase their political gain
The ipob trying to assimilate them back is to retain and revive the igbos image and protect their economy

vicenzo:
Ikwerre claiming Bini is not the problem.

Problem is that once they claim Bini, they will always be left with the arduous task of explaining away their current Igbo language.

This is the nitty gritty. To explain away their current Igbo language, Ikwerre have chosen to present Ndiigbo in the mould of invaders and rulers who ruled over them and imposed our language on them so much that they lost their imaginary Bini language.
The Ikwerre nationalism is built around deep seated Igbophobia and need to hate the Igbo, show hostility to us and never fail to throw dirts at us,all in attempt to prove to their non Igbo neighbors that they are not Igbo.

Ikwerre Bini revisionism cannot stand without Ikwerres first of all distorting the Igbo history to either present us in the mould of demons who ruled and intimidated them before Gowon saved them , or in the mould of Super humans who had the ability to turn a Bini speaking people into Igbo speakers with no iota of Bini in their culture or language to show for such language switch, just by merely interacting with them.

Its in trying to correct this that the Igbo appears to be forcing Ikwerre to be Igbo, when all we are doing is protecting our own history.

Ikwerre have right to claim whatever they want, but a people history don't exist in isolation from their neighbours. Their right to claim Bini, stops where ours to question how we turned them Igbo speakers begins.

You sound like a fellow historian.

dederocs:
most of them are kids, or perhaps old babies, their ignorance is alarming.

It's like you haven't heard of the MIRROR EFFECT before, I just showed you how people like you sound like

Bkayyy:
Nwanne a bottle of oh mpa for you
Imagine someone that calls himself igbo claiming ordinary ikwerre that worths nothing to Ndigbo

The access to sea ipob is looking for, ikwerre no get
Reasonable human beings, ikwerre no get
Oil, ikwerre no get
Innovative mind them still no get

vicenzo:
I blame Ipob and other Igbos without sense of self worth who go about claiming Ikwerre people for this insult.

The day Wike named a monument after Gowon in PH and opened his mouth and said that Gowon saved his people from Igbo invaders and rulers, was the day I developed Ikwerrephobia as an Igbo man.

Igbos who claim Ikwerre are total disgrace and retarded. The ikwerre people will continue to humiliate Ndiigbo like this , until some people grow brains and call their bluff off by publicly denouncing Ikwerre people and officially expelling Ikwerre sons in Ohanaeze Ndiigbo and then reorientation of our people to know the Ikwerre for real Igbophobic people they are.

Nwanne a bottle of oh mpa for you
Imagine someone that calls himself igbo claiming ordinary ikwerre that worths nothing to Ndigbo

Sanity33:
Sadly, nairaland is full with trolls like him (Bkayyy).
You can't have a serious discussion on nairaland, most guys in here seem to suffer some form of dementia.
It just feels like a waste of time talking to them.

Mr sanity, naira land is open for all members to contribute if you want private discussion use whatsapp and if you see me there kill me. Am sorry for disturbing your serious lies by the way

Bkayyy:

Now you see how it sounds when you talk about those bini migrations from far away Edo crossing obosi, Oba, okija, owerri, mbaise, I will repeat again mbaise, ohafia, ngwa and still be alive to establish igu ocha and call themselves ikwerre
You wannabe historians think across the Niger was a monastery centuries ago where peace reigned

I'll repeat again ask questions. The questions shouldn't be directed to me but those your elders with half hair on their head, start with your esama or iyasele

Sanity33:
Wow.
Dude you belong in a mental asylum.
Soon you will be claiming to be an archangel or an other mythical creature like ogiso.
Seek for a psychiatrist.

Sanity33:
I should ask you, a deluded specimen, some questions ?
Wtf ?

Taa see this inferior human being, you are lucky to be given the opportunity to ask your ogiso a question and you just lost it am done with you

Sanity33:
Holy shiiiit.
You just regurgitate every trash you read in the internet ?
For your info, that story is a fairytale.
And also, the Edo are not Yoruba. What is it with you guys and the constant need to force an identity upon others ?

I regurgitated what I learnt from your history when I was in benin thank you
Prove me wrong with historically

Sanity33:
Delusion

Ask questions

Sanity33:
kindly swallow your igboness and let other people be ! The Ikwere are Benin descendants, that is all.
Nothing more to see here.

All you lots in bini are yoruba people kindly accept it or continue lying to yourself.
All these bini being a separate ethnicity from yoruba is total fallacy. Why is it that when bini needed a king they have to turn to yoruba to give them one, the later out of vexation named the land Ile ibinu

Sanity33:
It is a folklore, a fairytale.
There was never any ogiso, just like there was never any Hercules or Santa Claus or batman.
But people like you just can't use your brains.
The title has been Oba for as long as can be testified for.

Mr man there were ogisos and they are at enugwu ukwu nri

Fun fact, any African historian quoting dates of migration is already lying to you
When did Africans start counting dates to know the date of their migration. Ordinary 300 years ago history they cannot tell
Ask our so called bini historians quoting dates of their imaginary migration the name of the first Portuguese that came to bini

dederocs:
Do you know about the Ogiso dynasty?
Do you know about ogodomigodo?
The Benin empire and throne had been existing for thousands of years, you have to learn further than Ajayi Crowther using the Oba in his books, the entire South region of Nigeria, started from Benin Kingdom.
How can a child give birth to his father, what i say here is not what matters, just research history yourself.

Mpaku gently go and ask your oba the people that were those ogiso

These ikwerre whatever have made a great mistake in their history that can never be wiped out. How can they do meeting with an Edo man with their igbo phenotype? If you people like shout from now till tomorrow we all know that a BENIN man from Edo state can never allow ikwerre man preside over anything made for the binis Maka na ndi be anyi si na izu ka mma na nne ji
Now how can the ikwerre come back to the igbos after they have been made a fool of by the binis 20 years later because the igbos are well known to learn from history Maka na ndi be anyi si na okwu agwaram adi nchezo Maka imekwa ozo

OfoIgbo:
Oba of Benin's origin has absolutely nothing to do with Ife.
Benin Oba tradition is way older than Ife.

Oba remains a title in Nri till date, and it doesn't mean King (Eze or Igwe). It is perhaps one of the highest titles in Nri territories, beside that of the Eze or Igwe.

In Benin, Oba doesn't also mean king. That immediately reveals the Benin obas are not spin-offs from Ife.
In Yorubaland, Oba means king, which is probably an idea they got from Benin, thinking it meant king in Bini.

Up until a little over a hundred years ago, Eze Nris bestowed the ofo on every Oba of Benin and Attah of Igala.

The Ooni of Ife never bestowed anything on the Oba of Benin. The Nris would have been aware of such a thing. Thank God Portuguese explorers made it to Benin during the reigns of Oba Ewuare and Oba Ozolua in the 1400s to confirm the pre-eminence of Nri cultural supremacy of Benin.
If those explorers had visited Ife, the Ooni of Ife would have told the Portuguese about the Nri cultural supremacy of Ife at that particular time also.

Never mess with Nri. Again, as I wrote sometime ago, when the Nris speak, the true Igbo territories will be known.

Pay no attention to some cultural journeymen in Igboland at the moment, like the Aguleris and others. When Nri speaks, Nigeria will know.

My brother the thing tire me o, imagine these kids from tribes of no known history attacking igbo land.
Which one be BENIN? Which one be Igala?
These kids should go and beg one professor in history to tell them about IDU and onoja.
They should also ask themselves why igbanke was called igbo akiri, why ibuzor was called igbo bi n'uzor,
And finally they should ask themselves who are these igbos they speak of

Well, na wetin over respect dey cause

God of mercy! I thought the westerners are very respectful and well trained

Wow, I registered with 1,000 naira last week. I thought I was cheated but from what am seeing, some people are more desperate than me

I'm really ashamed with all these so called igbos on nairaland. NE sia ife unu no ebea akparisi onwe unu.
Imagine putting Ndigbo with all these half and half things like ikwerre and delta igbo in the same sentence. Well I don't blame you people na wetin being born and bred in South West dey cause. I remember when I was discussing with someone in Lagos and one delta igbo guy wan put mouth, I ask am you be igbo? Him say I be delta igbo, na there the matter end. Imagine a full Nwafor is talking and one half and half thing dey put mouth

Imagine ordinary ikwerre talking when Ndigbo are talking

flyingpig:
yeahh I've always been reading and hearing of opobo and bonny when i was in primary school, I only started hearing about ikwerre when i first went to elele on pilgrimage. Back in South east again I barely hear ikwere but a lot of people here aknowledge opobo and bonny, obviously because of their historic and famous jaja of opobo and bonny's history with colonialists serving as slave harbour. I hate hate hate hate to see Igbos doing this attachee to SS communities. Whether ikwerre, bonny or opobo. It makes us look as it we are worth nothing and only their presence in our lives will make us amount to something. Bro, shame dey catch me if I see those forceful alliance on nairaland. And i usually attack the Igbos who do it, even though they doubt my igboness for being at forefront of SE homogeneity.

My bro don't mind them, na all those my mama say I be igbo wey no know anything about igbos. No be igbos wey dey look down on fellow igbo man that is poor e come be ordinary ikwerre wey no worth anything.
As in eh those ikwerre half half things might be thinking that Ndigbo loves them based on the nonsense they are seeing here from ndi ofeke a si na acho imeko ihe with ndi digburu onwe ha na lazy

flyingpig:
I no like those ikwerre people at alll. When Germany wanted Austria to join them in 3rd Reich during world war 2 because Austrians are German speakers and have Germanic gene. They refused. Germany lost the war, today Germany is separate from Austria but is the powerhouse and greatest country in the European Union economic block. Germany sneezes, EU catches cold. I'm very contended with a homogenous SE as a country. Another addition from SS should be them campaigning for it. So that we'll have unity.

Am yet to see a full igbo man that beckons on these half igbos. These half and half igbo wannabes of naira land don't know that no body knows them in South East, especially anambra that all types of igbos are in. They don't know that igbos are bureaucratic in nature and doesn't associate with any thing considered as bad market. That explains why bonny and opobo are in the igbo textbooks we used in primary school and not ikwerre.
Ikwerre na bad market, they have nothing to offer igbos

And why is that man wearing our military Jersey? He doesn't look fit to be a soldier
