BabaRamota1980: GT Basden lived among Ibos in 1900s. He was quartered in Onitsha and travelled around Iboland. He wrote his findings and experience. He was very critical of maps and place names that had been created and published ahead of his arrival. He found many places on his map did not match the actual landmark on ground, where it showed a river should actually be a farm. He complained bitterly about this. At the end of his trip he redrawn the map and placed things in their proper place. To that effect he also released his own map. There was nowhere he said he visited the sea. He said Ibo in Bonny were slaves though they were numerous and outnumbered the indigenes, they lived under Head of Families of Bonny people. This is significant information. This will shed light on the question of Ikwerre. Beyond that there is also the question of territory. Did Ibo territory extend to sea or not?

bigpriik: I don't think this people represent Igbo interest at all, why so much love for this binikwerre people? why did he Not even include ifeanyi okowa or any other anioma man for Igbo presidency, are they no longer part of Igbo tribe?when will this men wise up and accept that ikwerres are not Igbos,the last time I checked Ikwerres have no economical or geographical advantage to add to Igboand..
As for me I would rather have an anioma man as president be it an ika ,aniochia, or ukwanni than to allow bini people represent us
They are not Nigerians, they are Biafrans. Nigerians don't do petty trading. Please flog them well well,when you finish flogging them just deport the yeye people to Biafraland. Ewu.
See how these Igbo traders embarrass Nigeria by going everywhere to do petty trading? Can't these Biafra people just do their petty trading in Aba? The annoying thing is that they call themselves Biafrans but when they get in trouble they start calling themselves Nigerians. Please be warned, these people are not Nigerians they are Biafrans. No Nigerian will go and do petty trading in Ghana or South Africa, Nigeria is big enough for any business.
