No be small predicament. Na your sister Amarabae instigate me. Then your brothers meleszenawi and Igboid report me wen I gave it back to her hot. No worry, I go give them their own ban for this Nairaland.

But I like you, you are a good Ghanaian.

I have never reported anyone since I have been on NL.

Well, no Igbo presidency in 2023 will only strengthen Biafra agitation and make fools of Igbo political class, on the short term, it might look bad, but on long term and going forward, it will be the best outcome for the Igbo nation.

You are wrong.

Ogba are Bini, likewise Ekpeye.
They should do well to go and learn Bini language and leave the current Igbo ones they have alone.

RichBoy247:
Aguyi Ironsi wanted to corner the resources of Nigeria for himself and his brothers but God pass them. Now, their generation yet unborn will suffer for it

How so? When the two oil producing regions of Eastern and Midwestern regions already had Two Igbo premiers in Okpara and Osadebay?

Nwodo putting the cart before the horse.

You needed to play cool with IPOB, to not condemn or support them.
So that at a time like this, you could make real potent threat with them and they will play along with you, because you have never antagonized them.

But you messed it up in Python dance and now you think IPOB will allow you to use them to negotiate for more power in Nigeria so that you will use the same power to crush IPOB and Biafra agitation in the region?

Think again. I expect Nnamdi Kanu to release counter message disgracing Nwodo and absolving themselves of any kind of cooperation with Nwodo and Ohanaeze.

How can Nwodo go to external war without first and foremost uniting his homestead? That's folly.

There will likely not be an Igbo president in 2023 as I believe the North will not give up power, and nothing will happen because Ohanaeze led by Nwodo don't control the youths and they are not on speaking terms with IPOB.
The worst that will happen is that Nwodo and gang will be compensated with lucrative contracts by the FG and they would all keep quiet.

IkwerrePikin:
I don’t know why Igbos hate truth and find it difficult to accept reality.

If they give Igbo man ticket will you win North and Yoruba votes? The people you and your Nnamdi kanu abuse on a daily bases?

If Apc give you the ticket you can not win even in the South South dominated by PDP talk more of winning Yoruba votes and North votes?

Your best bet is to support Rotimi Amaechi as power moves to the South because Amaechi can pull more votes in South West, South South his home region and South East which no Igbo politican can boost of under Apc.

Amaechi is a nobody. A fake Bini Ikwerre man.
No one in SE will vote for him because we don't consider him Igbo or kin. No one in SW will vote for him instead of a Yoruba.
SS leaders don't believe it's SS turn to produce the president in 2023. When it will be SS turn, Ikwerres are too insignificant in the region with just 3.5LGA for Amaechi to be the SS candidate when the Akwa/Cross and the Edo/Delta zones are yet to have a bite.

Stop your malaria induced wet dreams already. Tell Amaechi to return to Ubima and become a full time Ogbakor Ikwerre bini chieftain once his tenure ends.

Bigsunny01:
Shut de Bleep up if u don't know wat u are saying

If u have been to Edo state u will learn dat de means of communication is pidgin English coz in dis part of de country we have different kinds of languages here, but dat doesn't say we don't know where we came from

De old bendel state was full of different languages which is Edo/Delta even up-to Rivers state.

Dis is de reason de major language u hear in de public when u come to dis part of de country is pidgin.

Ignorance is eating u up deeply, and I think u need to get up from dat ur shithole village and visit dis part of de country to educate ur ignorance instead of typing wat u are not even sure about

You speak pidgin because Edo is not an ethnic group but a classification of related ethnic groups.
So go and sit down.
I have Esan friends and they speak Esan whenever they are on phone with family members.
But they can't communicate effectively with Binis because the language lack mutual intelligibility so they resort to pidgin.

In Igbo land, we solved this problem by creating a standard Igbo which Any Igbo man, including the Igboids like Igbanke in Edo state would understand without needing an interpreter, so when Igbos gather, we don't need Pidgin, because we are real organic ethnic nationality.

Keep your Edo Pidgin madness to yourselves , don't come and separate us from our brothers in Enuani delta state.

This Ikwerre Bini man called Wike.
We are watching you.

OfoIgbo2:
Very salient points you made.

In fact, I started reconsidering my stance on the Ikwerre, when I started reading from people like Amarabae and Nwanyiogwashi months back, as these Igbos live in the frontline, and know the damage these Igbo-denying groups cause them.

If one has a generally good tomato with a little rotten spot, to preserve the immediate areas from catching the rot, it makes sense to scoop out the rotten bit, otherwise the neighbouring tissues will be affected by the rot, and so on, until the whole tomato rots.

Ikwerres are the rotten spot, the Ndokis(the real owners of Bonny), the Asas e.t.c are the neighbouring tissues, the SE Igbos are the rest of the tomato.
I advice Igbos to count their teeth with their tongue and do the needful.

By the way, this is OfoIgbo . My moniker remains banned from posting into the culture section, because of my Bonny moves

Finally, I am glad you now understand the message we have been trying to drive home.

Ikwerres are a rotten spot on Igbo tomato that must be excised if we hope to keep the surrounding area of the rot save.
What a perfect description.

I once compared the Ikwerre situation to that of a man with a necrotic(dead) leg as a result of Diabetes complication.
Consider the man Igbo and the dead leg Ikwerres.
If the man because he doesn't want outsiders to laugh him or see a part of him cut off, decides to keep the dead leg on, the dead leg will eventually lead to death of healthy tissues next to it, and will not stop there. It will eventually send toxins all over the man system that will lead to sepsis, and multi organ failure and eventually the man's death.

But if the man cuts off the dead leg early enough, he will save the tissue immediately next to the dead leg, he can buy artificial legs and he can learn to walk again on the artificial leg.
Most importantly, he will live long enough to give birth to children that will have two full legs and will be a more happy and fulfilled man.


The Igbos saying we should embrace Ikwerre and tolerate their toxic nature that is eventually going to kill us after infecting Igbo groups next to them with the same toxins, are foolish and are not different from the stupid man that kept a dead leg because he didn't want the enemies to see that he lost a part of himself that is threatening to kill him.

Those of us campaigning for Ikwerre excision are the astute ones who would cut off a dead leg, find a way to move on without it, stay alive and live happily ever after.

Ndewo.

Sanitizedem:
You are not aware that the first trip made by the current Obi of Onitsha after his installation was to the Oba of Benin palace, his ancestral home where he was received as 'our son'. He still came back as Nnaemeka Achebe

This how your people formulate fictions as truth.

No Obi of Onitsha visits Oba Bini palace upon coronation.

Onitsha people are proud Igbos. Don't compare them with your inferiority complex plagued selves.
Look for your cotravellers in Ogba-bini that have renamed their Eze Ogba to Oba of Ogba.

Sanitizedem:
@IDENNAA
@Igboid
So it is not only Ikwerre people that you spew this 'inferiority complex' trash against but even among yourselves bwahahaha!!
Now tell me who is more superior...Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi ....

I am wondering if it makes you guys feel you are winning an argument when you say someone or a group sufers 'inferiority complex' or just a way of hiding your stupidity

Every single Igbo clan is superior to Ikwerre bini people.
We all speak Igbo our language and are not so brain dead as to throw away our language for that of another person like brain dead Ikwerre ancestors did.

What form of inferiority complex is worse than the one your ancestors suffered that made them abandone your Bini language for Igbo language without coercion from Ndiigbo?
Such type of inferiority complex is unprecedented in history.
Your Bini ancestors set a world record in inferiority complex. Even small Ogoni retained their language despite being Igbo neighbours.

Shame on Ikwerre binis.

Sanitizedem:
Someone that knows his family history dating back to 300 years is talking about his family, and you that most likely does not even know your father but was born in a prison yard is saying that he does not know what he is saying. Oga born throwaway pack well abeg!

Okpo!
We don't accept stupid historical fiction in Igboland.
The man can not know more about his family than Ngwo people.

Keep your inferiority complex suffering selves in Rivers state, we don't do that nonsense in Igboland

IkwerrePikin:
You think election is won on social media??

You're just ranting and spilling trash.

Your brothers who are wiser will continue to support Amaechi because he is closer to you than anyone in Nigeria today. Ikwerre is ikwerre and that can't change, if we want to be President we will seek support from all the tribes in Nigeria including Igbo because we have the right to be President.

Amaechi as President you igbos will benefit, stop allowing hate to blindfold you.

Ikwerre people don't care about your rants, we have made it clear we are ikwerre people and not part of your Biafra and we don't care what you feel.

You're fighting yourself when nobody is fighting you.

We have treated igbos nicely in Port Harcourt and they will support Amaechi to be President if he contest.

Social media led to Arab spring that overthrew governments all over Arab world.

With the power of social media, IPOB and NK gave Nigerians sleepless nights and control the mind of millions of Igbo youths.

Never underestimate the power of social media.
Be well assured that we will use it's power in full to deal with Ikwerre by making sure Igbo commoners are well enlightened and aware of your Igbophobic actions. We have 3 full years to work on this project and we will be unrelenting with nothing left to chance.
The only Igbos who see Ikwerre as Igbo or support Amaechi presidency are those in the dark about Ikwerre real character. Our job is to expose your real selves to them and as expected, watch them turn on you.

Ndiigbo don't care about Ikwerre and we would not have you fraudulent people impersonate us and manipulate our ignorant populace into voting one of You Igbophobic entities. It will not happen.

Amaechi or any Ikwerre man coming to Igboland to claim non existent relationship will be disgraced. We will ensure that. Stay in your 3.5LGAs in Rivers state.

You never fed any Igbo man in PH. Instead you depend on Igbos to pay shop rents to you, to pay taxes to you, to pay house rents to you. To buy your lands from you. Without all these from Igbo man, you will die of hunger in that your Third World slum you call PH. So I would advise you mind your steps to avoid rendering yourselves hungry. The Igbo man exists all over the world doing business. With or without PH, he will be fine, but the same cannot be said of your people who all stay in PH.

Better keep your pride in check before it destroys you.

babyfaceafrica:
when will àkókò Edo rule?

Akoko edo is in Edo North senatorial zone with Etsako.
Oshimhole has already taken Edo North turn.

Nwanyiogwashi:
Op you people from east should stop disgracing Igbo nation this thread about ikwerri must stop,ikwerri are bini-yoruba people.

Not every Igbo know that Ikwerre is Bini-Yoruba.

Many Igbos are not aware of Ikwerre let alone their Igbophobia . They just assume Amaechi, Wike or anyone with Igbo sounding names is Igbo.
Go to facebook and see some Igbos supporting Amaechi presidency, not knowing he is Ikwerre and Ikwerre Igbophobia.

Soon the fraudulent Ikwerre man will come to Igboland to campaign for our support.
If we don't do our job well by wielding the power of internet to inform our people of Ikwerre non Igbo status and make sure they are exposed to Ikwerre Igbophobia, we might have a big problem on my hands by 2023.

Even beyond 2023, it's important we started building Igbo nation and vital to this process is elimination of enemies within, which Ikwerre is to the group .

ChangedMan1999:
People from southeast here, should stop opening threads about them. When you notice a idiot trying to make you say unnecessary bad thing about them, just avoid that thread.

It is embarrassing and hurts to be defending ourselves against people who don't wish well for us and the same time fighting people who should be our neighbor(if not our brother).

Just pray to God for Biafra; he won't forsake us.

By the grace of the almighty, if we get it we will diplomatically go to our brothers who found themselves in south south and asked them to join us.

If they say no, let us just leave it like that and focus on ourselves.

Leave Ikwerre matter, let it leave you.

Most people opening threads about them are just bastards who wants us to hate them and they, in turn, will hate us.

We are trying to separate ourselves from this country; we shouldn't force others to be with us.

We need a country where anyone you meet in the street will tell you "I love my country".

Not a country where some people will make reference to when they earlier told you they are not the same with you, when things are not going well with the country.

You are mistaken.

When someone is impersonating you. You don't let them be.
You make sure you expose the person in public and ensure people know the impostor has no link to you.

IkwerrePikin:
Ikwerre just like Ijaw will produce President of Nigeria before Igbo.

Rotimi Amaechi is more popular,respected,better than all Igbo politicians and will win more votes from Nigerians than any Igbo politician to become president and don't be surprise to see the North endorse Ameachi in 2023 and he will win in all Igbo states.

While we ikwerre people are strengthening our affinity with our Benin ancestral home and developing our land, you igbos don't want to respect yourselves and
think about how to develop your states with our free Niger delta oil money you receive as monthly allocations.

If you igbos push we Ikwerre people to take up arms against you migrants in Port harcourt, it Will be very bloody oh! Even your igbo daughters we have bought from you as wife's will not safe you.

Ikwerre are very loving and accomodating people, but do not take that for granted, we are not people you can joke with. We are fearless and strong, we can never be intimated. Even during igbo dominated eastern region govt we stood our grand and maintained our bini ancestral history and fought for the creation of old Rivers State.

Our Ogbakor Ikwerre organization was established before Biafra war. We know our history that Is why Wike named the Port Harcourt stadium after Gowon and renamed Aba Road to Yakubu Gowon road thanking him for listening to our cry to create old Rivers State.

Amaechi is a nobody. And we will disgrace him if he tries to impersonate Ndiigbo.
Amaechi cannot even win elections in his native Rivers state, but he is popular in your dreams.

Nobody in SE will vote Amaechi and I doubt he will get votes in SS going by Edwin Clark recent statements.
The North or any serious political party will never pick Amaechi, because he offers nothing politically. He is not Igbo and he has just 3.5LGA to deliver. The only way Amaechi stands a chance is by impersonating Ndiigbo, which is why the fraud is claiming Igbo recently, but Igbo nationalists will so heat up the polity and make it impossible for any Ikwerre impostor to claim Igbo without being disgraced between now and 2023. We are just starting. This is just 2020, expect more from us. This campaign will be unrelentless from now to 2023.

You need to read up on the creation of new Rivers state and the role Ukiwe and Zik played.
You are not Igbo and the days you got to be opportunist Igbos and get Igbo help or support are gone. Now all you will get from us is hate and resentment, exactly what you have always offered us for 50yrs now.

You will not do anything in PH. If you try nonsense you will not survive it.
You are just 3.5LGA surrounded by other minorities who want to see you cut to size too. I would advise you thread carefully. Your pride and hubris will be your fall.

OP.
You have my support.
Those who said we should ignore Ikwerres are mistaken.
Silence is not always golden. There is always a time to break silence and now is the time for it.

Igbo populace have to be enlightened about he Ikwerre menace.
And obviously there is no making omelette without breaking eggs. So yes, it will mean making Ikwerre popular for few minutes, but it will also mean enlightening many of our people in the dark.

If you are an Igbo and find this thread uncomfortable, then you need to take a deep look at yourself, because you are either an impostor or a minority asslicker.

MelesZenawi:
Secondly, you attack her based on facts not verbal attacks.

the young lady has been a good advocate for ndigbo and you should disparage her because she stands for igbos and with igbos.

Don't attack her because she believes in Igbo.

You are attacking her because she refused to cast aspersions on igbo...

once again be guided.

That's what Ikwerres have done in Rivers state.

Any Igbo clan that accepts Igbo tag. Ikwerres will single them out for marginalization, cajoling, intimidation, victimization . They will sustain this pressure unrelentlessly until the clan beomes hapless and denounce Igbo just to survive in Rivers state.

They have failed at Asa and Ndoki in Rivers because the rest of Asa and Ndoki in Imo state made things too difficult for them.

24SEVEN:
if you like cook Ofe Nsala for us. no shaking. Ikwerre gallant. No be Rivers State again? We have the state by the cruff. I dey pity Oyigbo people, na Dem go bear the brunt. Make I see wetin Anambra man or any SE Igbo wan do for Rivers. Na Ikwerre dey give una level for Rivers because of similarities. But we may have to reconsider some privileges given to Igbos.

Lol!

With 3.5 LGAs?

When Ndiigbo are ready and fully expel Ikwerre parasites in Ohanaeze Ndiigbo.
You will see how important numbers are in politics once we bring it to fore for Oyigbo.

The Riverine Ijaws want power and we want you cut to pieces.
I believe we can work out a deal.

Oyigbo will be fine. Those of us in the know are not unaware of your evil against them simply because they have refused to give up their Igbo tag like you forced the Etches into doing. You are innately evil.

Your pride will be your downfall. You will learn a very important lesson in time.

Yujin:
As insignificant as they appear they're still important. Timing is very essential in everything. Trust me bro, IPOB is playing a big role which some of you don't understand. Do you notice Orji Uzo Kalu's trajectory? Do you know why Ohaneze was deregistered? They just had an understanding with IPOB shortly before the hatchet. The idea is simply the quash any point of a United front. They'll encourage individualism which they expect to work to their favour. Same old strategy. The Ikwerres fell for it; why do you want to repeat the same mistake? We should know better having been more exposed than them. See how the Southern Kaduna people are being wiped out gradually... No middle belt group is talking. Is this what you want for any Igbo clan? If the middle belt have a United front, fulanis won't dare it. Leave being emotional about their obvious tomfoolery. It's sapping your intrinsic energy already.
Now, any Igbo or clan who decides to join forces with our enemies will be treated worst even than the enemy. Therefore, overlook it and focus on the bigger task.

We are strong enough and don't need Ikwerres for anything.

Are you not aware That Igbo denial in Rivers state is driven by Ikwerres.

Ikwerre Igbo hate is mortal and inbuilt.
No Fulani or Hausa man caused it. If you have lived in Rumu villages in PH, you will know this.

My problem with IPOB is that you lots run away from responsibilities, you prefer to fight foreign non existent enemies than the in-house enemies whose damaging effect is more visible.

Ikwerre issue is not caused by any external forces. It might have been started by external forces, but it's currently being generated, amplified and distributed by Ikwerres. Ikwerre must be held fully responsible for their Igbo hate and every one of them, must be visited by equal measure of hate by Ndiigbo.

When we are done dealing with them, then we can look back and see how the outsiders played a role.

It's akin also to how IPoB and NK have refused to hold looting Igbo governors especially Abia state responsible for the immediate marginalization of the region by embezzling the little funds allocated to them, but are more interested in chasing Buhari and the FG.

You lots like to put the cart before the horse alot, and it's no longer looking bearable for Igbos like myself.

Ikwerre is fully responsible for Ikwerre Igbophobia and must be held fully accountable for it by Ndiigbo.
No amount of blame shifting to make villains look like victims will work.

Dalu.

MelesZenawi:
there bini youths looking for work employ them as teachers.

Exactly.

The loud mouthed Wike went to visit Oba Bini. We at least expected him to change to his real ancestral Bini name. Something like Osagie, and then beseech the Oba for cheap Bini language tutors to go back to his Rumu villages with him and teach his people their original language.

But alas, he returned home empty handed.

Ndi uchu!

24SEVEN:
Look at this ewu. so it is that whøre called Amarachi you are vouching for. That silly thing who is angry that Ikwerre doesn't carry Asa along in Rivers State is the one you're calling Daughter of soil. Which soil? biko nzuzu ebea puo.

Nolu jii! Amarachi bu ezinne and Ada Igbo.

Her opinions matters.

Every single Igbo should be angry about how Ikwerre has oppressed Asa and Ndoki in Rivers because the people will not drop their Igbo tag.

You lots are evil and Igbos are only startingto zero in on you. We will treat your Bleep up very well.

We are cooking something special for you lots, when we are done, you will never finish the food.

HopeAtHand:
You're flogging a dead horse. Ikwerre has no affiliation with Igbo. We have a distinct identity. Our language regardless of closeness with Igbo remains our language. Don't stress yourself over issues you have no control over. The Ikwerre language, culture and traditions will remain Ikwerre identity. Learn to live with it.

The language can't be yours.

Because you are Binis and Binis don't speak Igbo or Igbo related names.
You are slow shameless copy cats.

As a Bini, you should be speaking an Edoid language and not Igbo one. Take a look at Epie Attisa. As small they are, they retained their Edoid language.

Employ Bini language teachers and cure your shame.

For as long as you continue impersonating Ndiigbo by refusing to go back to your Bini names and language.
Ndiigbo will keep disgracing you and make sure you realize how weak, inferior and retarded you are for having to use Igbo language, names and culture and not Bini ones.

The joke is on you.

24SEVEN:
The threads upon threads to wail about Ikwerres is on perpetual mode.

Ikwerre don't care about Igbo brotherhood. We no send una. If you don't like our Igbophobia, kindly cross boundary back to wherever you came from

I'm yet to see any Igbo man or official claiming Ikwerre publicly.
But we have Ikwerre frauds like Amaechi, Okwukwu, all trying hard to impersonate Igbos.

You tribeless people have also refused to give up your current Igbo language and names and it's distorted forms you call Ikwerre language and names and relearn your Bini language and start taking Bini names too.

This is all we are saying you do. Stop trying to impersonate Ndiigbo. Embrace your Bini and Yoruba selves. Your ancestors might have cowered and suffered from inferiority complex when they heard Igbo ancestors speak Igbo that made them drop their Bini /Yoruba language and names for the current Igbo ones you have.
But you current Ikwerre generation have the wherewithal to reverse their inferiority complex induced mistakes.
You can employ Bini language teachers and change your names back to Bini ones.

Because, Ndiigbo will not stop dragging you around and disgracing you, until you have done the above.

You are so pathetic that you depend on Ndiigbo for language and names. How useless can you be? Even Ogonis as small as they are retained their language, but your slow ancestors couldn't retain yours.

Yujin:
Dalu rinne nwanna. I'm very conscious of the pitiable vibration from our Ikwerre kins and it's quite annoying yet I see it best we endure their folly. We are a blessed people and any group of people who associate with us become progressive which clever Ikwerres have noticed. Only the local and timid ones exhibit such brazen denial/ self hate. I have some of them as acquaintances and we do chat. Sometimes we speak Igbo together and I've discussed this particular issue with one of them. He's quite conciliatory and blends in with other Igbos. Another one I know even participates in Igbo soccer competition and relates well too. One thing you should bear in mind is that once faced with the bigger picture, the Ikwerres suddenly realize that the little difference isn't sufficient to dissociate themselves. They're Igbos and that's what they'll remain in the foreseeable future. You must know that what you see a good number of them display is an institutionalized denial backed-up with an oath in the shrines especially the immediate generation post Biafran war. It's not easy to just break all of a sudden. If we must unite with them, we must continue including them in our affairs despite the rejection since they're yet to officially reject Ndigbo in a plesbecite. Civil war hangover/survival instinct is really brutal. You can imagine what they're going through battling with themselves as they reject their own in the present time of peace. Any of them who leaves Rivers state quickly changes that venom because reality faces him. He may contest being Igbo but won't be hard about it. Many of the new generation are questioning this paradox I tell you. Our steadfastness will pay in the long run.
I can't say everything here our enemies lose sleep just to see ways they can stop our glory. They're scavenging for everything they can use to put a wedge among us. If you bear this in mind you'll be more cautious when discussing our sociopolitical involvements here on nairaland.
Politics is very deep. If you're good in board games like Chess and Draught, you'll understand what's happening in Nigeria. Some moves are not necessarily for your own plan but they're made to cause problems for your opponent. This is the concern of all these non-Igbos who create topics everyday seeking for Igbo clans that they'll encourage to reject being Igbo. Do they love these clans? No, yet they'll still encourage them. We must persevere in building our nation bearing in mind all our clans including those with identity crisis until after a plesbecite. Nigeria is dead already; her carcass is smelling at present. We remains is her disintegration which will happen so soon. Let's be on the watch out.

Nwanne. I disagree with you.

Ikwerre are not Igbos and must be treated as such by Ndiigbo.

It doesn't matter what our detractors do or think.
What matters is what we do for ourselves.

The non Igbos are not responsible for Ikwerre or Ogba Igbophobic ways. They are even helping us bring these Igbophobes to the limelight so that we can sensitize our numerous ignorant people about them.

We lose nothing from purging Igbophobic groups (Ogba, Ikwerres and Co) masquerading behind our language and names, from us and relating with them strictly on official and non emotional basis.
It's to our own benefit.

Any Igbo speaking group that turns Igbophobic is a danger to the rest of us as must be cut off and baracaded from infecting or injuring the rest of us.
We can always agree to disagree.

Udo.

OriakuAmara:
emotional torment by neverdowells?
you confuse Ipobs with proud Igbos, proud Igbos don't give a hoot about you guys because you bring nothing to the table both in producing tecnorats, business men, money , exposure etc.
u guys are free to have ur own tribe but not with Igboid identities, since 1967 you lots have been trying over this but keep failing and will continue to fail

If you go to streets of Enugu and interview random 100 Igbos in the busy streets. Not up to 3 will know that there is an ethnic group called Ikwerre. But 100% will know Yorubas or Ibibio.
Most Igbos don't know there is a group somewhere called Ikwerre.
They sure know of PH. But they don't know Ikwerre. The assumption is that they are all Ndi mbamili (same as Ijaws).
The average Igbo man don't know Ikwerre exists, until he visits PH and gets exposed to Ikwerre Igbophobia.

It's IPOB that is putting Ikwerres on the spotlight with the Igweocha capital nonsense and Ohanaeze that still have them in the organization that is making a mole into a mountain.

OriakuAmara:
exactly
if Ipob are not stopped, the state the Igbo identity will find itself , it will not be funny.
there was a time the jewish identity was like a rag in Europe, until the Jews got their territory back and dealt with their Arab enemies, the ethnic pride came back , the Jews became more proud.
ohanaeze ndigbo should not be blamed, atleast they don't give attention to these irrelevant things , they use silence to outclass them and to some extent ethnic pride was there before 2013 then the albino supreme leader came up and scattered everything. we must continue to counter some nonsense
remember 2017 when ipob came to protest in PH, the hateful insults the Ikwerres and ijaws dished out, how do you expect an etche or oyigbo to claim His Igboness under such atmosphere

But Ohanaeze Ndiigbo have Ikwerre members handling sensitive posts in the organization.

The Secretary general of Ohanaeze Ndiigbo is from Igbophobic Ikwerreland.
Does this sound right to you?

Uche352:
That is a bad way of life for them..but there is one thing I want you to understand hating them back would not solve the issue..there is nothing like ethnic politics in a sane clime politics is totally different from ethnicity..it doesn't matter where you come from hence no matter how hard the circumstances are ones ethnicity should not be denied..we have choices in life but family and ethnicity is one we certainly don't have a choice over..so them denying there Igbo roots is a sort of foolishness from them..they have the right to be angry with the igbos for selling them during the slave trade but they have no write in denying where they come from..my two cents

Hating them back will make them keep their hate in check knowing that we can also hurt them without any blink and that we don't consider them kins and therefore will never hesitate in dealing with their excesses.
It keeps everyone in check and good for peace.

Ikwerres are not Igbos. Believe me, I have lived with and studied these people. Everything about Ikwerre except their language, names and traditional institutions, scream non Igbo.

Ikwerre independence from Ndiigbo MUST be supported and reinforced by Igbo nationalists to keep the Igbo safe from the hate emanating from those people.

OriakuAmara:
Thank you so much, you understand ethnic politics ,
Thats why some etches are beginning to deny being Igbo , nobody wants to identify with a group that are not strong in identity upliftment,
that's why I have issues with Ipobs, they have debased and humiliated the Igbo identity that many outside SE wants to stay away from it.
if you deal with those slave descendants and throw them out, it will send a strong message.
I don't believe in massaging the ego of neverdowells who occupy a three and half LGAs or the eastern Minorities .
hate for hate
brutal for brutal
you win your respect back

I like you already.

You remind me of a strong Asa woman we use to have here in the days of onlytruth.
Her Monika was Policewoman.

The Igbos in SE are ignorant and stupid and it pains the hell out of the Igbos in SS who has to live in Igbophobic environment of minorities when they see IPOB embracing these groups.
It creates the impression in them that the Igbos in SE are not strategists and are not worth it. So many of them are beginning to deny being Igbos.

I have a good friend from Egberu in Oyigbo, this is what he complains to me about.
He doesn't even call himself Igbo these days.
The Igbo leadership including IPOB is out of touch with the realities the Igbo tribes living in Igbophobic charged environment of SS have to suffer, our decision making and moves makes this obvious.
And until we have a better leadership in the know about these delicate intricacies of SS, we will definitely lose every single Igbo clan currently in SS to the identity crisis fueled by Igbophobic force minorities like Bini-Ikwerre and Co created and have sustained.
