MinorityOpinion: This the reason why they don't wanna associate with you. Crying for segregation but don't want other tribes to emerge, talking about penalising.

BEING IGBO DOES NOT MAKE THEM ASSOCIATE WITH ME.
YOUR IDENTITY IS WHO U ARE, GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH ASSOCIATING WITH ANY PERSON OR GROUP OF PEOPLE.
whether you bark or bite, ikwerre will ALWAYS be seen as a renegade Igbo subgroup.
Personally, I think they are inconsequential. leave amaechi alone...you all are also corrupt because you want to claim all the oil for yourselves. lol....
AS A MATTER OF FACT, TODAY THEY ARE DOCUMENTED AS AN IGBOID GROUP.
kingzizzy: Even the Ogonis and Ijaws who are with Ikwerre in Rivers state consider the Ikwerre to be Igbos for the simple reason that there is no difference between Ikwerre and Igbo.
Before you can become a "distinct ethnic group" there must be something that differentiates you from other ethnic groups and it is usually your ancestral language and ancestral name.
Those who say that Ikwerres are not Igbos dont seem to realise that there is no difference between the Ikwerres of Rivers state and Nsukka people of Enugu State and the Ngwa people of Abia and the Oru people of Imo state.
We all speak Igbo as our ancestral language and we all have Igbo surnames. We may all have small differences in our dialects but we all understand each other.
Some Ikwerres like late novelist, Elechi Amadi, says the Ikwerres are not Igbo, while other Ikwerres like former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, says Ikwerres are Igbo. Who do we believe? Some people say that Ikwerres should be allowed to claim any identity they want. The problem with that is that the facts on the ground will always outweigh whatever you claim to be.
What surprises me in this argument about Ikwerres being Igbo or not is that those who shout "Ikwerres are not Igbos" the most are neither Ikwerres nor Igbos. They wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between the Ikwerre dialect and the Abakiliki
I believe Ikwerres are Igbos because there is no difference between them and Igbo, except denial in some quarters
MR WEHERE IS NOT AN IKWERE MAN BUT HE FEELS THE NEED TO MANUFACTURE HISTORY FROM IS ANUS WITHOUT CREDIBLE SOURCE OR REFERENCE TO TELL AN IKWERE MAN ABOUT HIS HISTORY.
ARE THE SS COHABITEE NOT INSANE?
WAT CONCERNS BAYELSA, DELTA, AKWA IBOM, EDO AND CROSS RIVERS WITH IKWERE PEOPLE, DO WE HAVE IKEWERE IN THOSE STATES.
omooba969: That day is coming (may be near) when an erring politician will get the same treatment and it will be the turning point for our dear Nigeria.
It would be so beautiful to watch.
TINUBU BULLION VAN COMES TO MIND.
CHARITY DEY SAY BEGINS AT HOME.
YORUBA SHOULD LEAD US AS USUAL, IN THE JUNGLE WAYS.
backnbeta: We don't need their land, but even if we need it we dare not go there. However, I agree with you that some people's greed brought this calamity upon us but I disagree with you on your erroneous generalisation. All it takes to win an election in Nigeria is a few greedy people coming together to rig any mofo of their choice into power, not your vote, not my vote!
max57: If it were in the time past,it will be be just to consult him on what type of stuff to use, but this era of believers,God wants to fight for us,do you know how much we can achieved on our knee directing the affairs of our nation, the Bible said one can pull a thousand, imagine when spirit fill believers that are on their knee can do, further more he also said that I will fight for you and you will have your peace, I will rather allow him to fight us and we have our peace,and mind you this fight against this nation is not physical, Google S.G Elton of prophecy about the nation, maybe you will understand...
UNFORTUNATELY MY BROTHER, GOD HELP THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES.
WE HAVE TO PICK UP OUR SHEILD (TANK) AND SWORD( GUN/BOMB), STAND LIKE MEN FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
uBuNiT: Don't let us make mistake by rejecting one of the best security offer. It is a good move. Ok watch, in the south it is fact that 70% of gatemen are northerners. Doesn't that show that they are the best when it come to security issue ? Pls let's try miyeti allah, if it fail, then we know we 'v satisfied our conscience.

backnbeta: Shame on us all- The South West, South East and South South- if we allow their vigilante groups to thrive in the South and ours can't even go near their bushes in the North
WAT ARE WE GOING TO THEIR BUSH IN NORTH TO DO?
WE DONT WANT THEIR LAND?
SW IS THE PROBLEM OF THE SOUTH.
HAD JONATHAN CONTINUED FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
BUHARI WOULD HAVE DIED AND A MODERATE NORTHERNER WOULD BE OUR PRESIDENT NOW.
YORUBA GREED IS THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA.
OBJ HAD 8 YEARS, YORUBA HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH PRESIDENT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, AT LEAST 24 YEARS TIME.
NOW LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOST THEIR LIFE AND MORE WILL BE WIPED OUT AS FULANI ADVANCE.
max57: Beginning of the end, we are about to enter New phase in our national development,all men should be ready, for what is ahead of us, this phase will make us stronger or will the beginning of the the end as a nation, if them like let them encamp in front our houses,we have a God that never sleep not slumber, let us be fervent in prayer, because every plan that is not of God shall come to nothing.
FULANI NEEDS TO BE EXPELED COMPLETELY FROM NIGERIA FOR US TO HAVE PEACE.
NEXT THEY WILL TRY TO TAKE THE GOVERNORSHIP OF EVERY STATE IN NIGERIA AS THEY DID IN THE NOT FROM HAUSA AND NORTHERN MINORITIES, EVEN UP TO KWARA AND NASARAWA .
THEIR IS NO END TO GREED, THAT IS Y IT IS A TERRIBLE THING AND BAD
