The way Igbos dishes out insult on ikwere here, Even if they wants to attribute their Origin to th, they'll rethink. Why can't you people be civil while expressing yourselves? MUST you always haul abusive words

We don't want Ikwerre.
We are done bearing their abuses and hate since 1970.
Enough is enough.
What we are doing here is sensitization campaign, aimed at turning every single Igbo man against Ikwerres and pointing them right to Ikwerre ways, so that we can safe ourselves from them.

Amarabae:
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.

I noticed that you the proud Igbos in SS, the Asas and Ndoki are more embittered by senseless Igbos in SE embracing Ikwerres.
This is because you guys are Ikwerre neighbors and share same state with them, and have been made to bear the full brunt of Ikwerre Igbo hate because you had so far held unto your Igbo identity.

It's painful to you lots, when Igbos in SE rather than taking your side and help you put Ikwerres down, are rather seen embracing Ikwerres, because many of these Igbos live far away from Ikwerre and are not exposed to the consequences their actions have on Asa/Ndoki people.

The effect is that to escape from Ikwerre toxic Igbophobia, many Ndoki and Asa people in Rivers state are beginning to deny their Igbo identity.

The Ikwerre has created an environment in Rivers state that makes it hard for anyone to be Igbo. This was also why Etche is no longer Igbo.


If Ndiigbo don't tackle Ikwerre Igbophobia head on, by fully coming out to denounce Ikwerres and expel their parasitic persons in our organizations. And then making concrete moves to protect real Igbos (Ndoki, Asa and Egbema), we would soon lose those last three standing groups to identity crisis.

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 throw ten at them, making sure to inflict maximum damage and pain 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. The era of embracing or ignoring hateful Ikwerre have ended.

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.

MelesZenawi:
Look well, they are Yorubas just that you guys aren't good in historical research.

Ikwerres are Yorubas... through Edos..The history of Edo will not be complete without Yorubas..


Infact Bini is an expansive Yoruba Kingdom. So safe to say that before Ikwerres left Ife to Bini and to the present location, they were originally yoruboid.

This makes sense.
Ikwerres have that Yoruba genes in them. We should gift them to Odua republic.

Yujin:
Nwanna, you're very intelligent I must say be your problem is that you're emotional and more of an idealist. You still have a lot to learn about politics especially the type at play in Nigeria.
It will be wise of you to avoid insulting IPOB. You're giving riffraffs the courage to insult us. I know you didn't see it that way but it has played out in this thread. The OP is a fulani terrorist who's studying and following Igbo sociopolitical stance with the aim of creating a huge crack. You just gave him a boost to insult us further. Nwanna, were ire gi guo eze gi onu.

You are someone I respect.
So I will stop insulting IPOB for your sake in the forseeable future.

But nwanne, Ikwerre should be dealt with by Ndiigbo, that handshake has gone up too much.

I have been on this forum since 2007 so I know that not all who claim Ikwerre here are Ikwerre.
But the truth is that they all repeat exactly what real Ikwerres I have met in Ikwerreland and on Ikwerre forums do.

Ikwerres hate towards Ndiigbo must be neutralized by a highly concentrated hate from us towards them. After 50yrs of dealing with their nonsense, most of us are fed up.
If you have the ears of IPOB hierarchy, try and get our message across to them.
Rational Igbos can no longer tolerate Ikwerre.
We are throwing away the baby (few good Ikwerres) with the bath water (the majority of Ikwerre who are innately igbophobic).

It's that simple.

Tranquill:
Bwahahaha you are not aware that a benin descendant has also ruled you as governor of old Anambra state despite his inherent "inferiority complex"?

My father is from Benin- C C Onoh's son
https://punchng.com/dad-dodged-security-boarded-bus-govt-house-c-c-onohs-son/

We are now trying to find if his Benin lineage is the reason Ojukwu started molesting his child called Bianca after severally sleeping with people's wives and breaking many homes even in Nnewi. Maybe it's a norm in Igboland to be lacking in morals.

Onoh son does not speak for Ngwo people.
He is obviously clout chasing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngwo

Ngwo are proud Igbos and are not confused Bini wannabes like Ikwerres.

Onoh son claiming Bini is as good as Amaechi claiming Igbo, both are fraudulent claims and the Igbo and Bini should sue both for impersonation

Bianca Onoh was an adult before Ojukwu started having affair with her. Stop peddling lies.


Ehmm! When are your confused Ikwerre bini people going back to your Bini language that your inferiority complex suffering and brain damaged ancestors left for distorted version of Igbo you currently speak?

Wike was in Bini recently to see Oba, we were hoping he would have used that wonderful opportunity to request for Bini language tutors from Oba palace to take with him to your Rumu villages, to reteach your lost elders and youths your Bini language, so that you can stop murdering our Igbo language and names and be calling it Ikwerre language and Ikwerre names.

Tranquill:
This your fountain of wisdom would be more useful to those Igbo girls doing prostitution in Abuja, Benin Lagos,Ghana, Austria, Germany etc. I hear they are showing strong presence now in Louisiana(US) and Kenya with their asewo work recently. Those Igbo drug rats in Malaysia, South Africa, Kenya, Pakistan will be happy to tap from your cras knowledge too. Igbo girls that survive only by getting pregnant and bearing children to be supplied to baby factories etc. All the Igbo layabouts that have now found career ipobing and constituting themselves into nuisances will benefit from you also.

In other words, remove the spec from your eyes before trying to remove the log from another person's. You Igbo after being welcomed and given the accommodation that you will hardly give to others despite your known criminal and dubious ways , all you do is to propagate negativity even when it is not better in your own backyard.

You guys can go on and say whatever and it won't change the fact that Ikwerre is not Igbo. Do your Biafra with your five Igbo states!

Lol!

Ikwerre can never be Igbo.
Soon your parasitic brothers in Ohanaeze Ndiigbo and other Igbo organizations sucking us dry without any contributions to the organization finance by Rivers state government, will be expelled and disgraced out.
Better tell them to leave in peace now. Because soon they will be pelted with eggs by angry Igbo youths. Also tell your con man Amaechi to stop impersonating Ndiigbo, because trust me, we will disgrace him and his entire generation in Ikwerre if he doesn't stop that dance of Shame.

Light and darkness has no union. Ikwerres as proven are descendants of Bini ancestors who suffered from chronic inferiority complex that made them leave their Bini language for Igbo one they distorted. They subsequently suffered from permanent brain damage, leading to inability to remember their Bini names, market days and titles.
I can see they passed this inferiority complex and brain damage genes to their descendants today.
Because when I listen to an average Ikwerre person, I sense that something is wrong some where, and as you can see, your history leaves no one in doubt about where the problem is from.

I am Igbo, yet not an IPOB, neither do I subscribe to their actions.

Hmm. Edwin Clark of all people.
Truly wonders shall never end.

At least he stood by the truth.

Spiff20:
Akwa Ibom man we know Ibibio is 5th largest ethinicity in Nigeria would your people be ready to be absorbed into Biafra when it happens and become a minute minority? Remember your brother Effiong was a warlord and Biafra covers you.

No reasonable Igbo man want any heterogeneous Biafra.
All we want is Homogeneous Igbo republic consisting of only Igbo speaking and non Bini claiming Igbo tribes.

The same IPOB who want Urhobo,Ikwerre Esan, Ijaw, Igala, Idoma, etc in their Babel Biafra are same ones that want Ibibio in Biafra.

Don't get it twisted.

Ojiofor:
After asking all this questions you will still turn around and call yourself a Jew/Hebrew even though you have nothing in comon with them not even color of skin.Anyway and Ikwerre man have something to tell you here.,


#PROF.SC ACHINEWHU RESPONDED TO THE CRA'S ASSERTION THAT IKWERE IS IGBO WHICH HAS BEEN GENERATING WIDE FURORE AFTER I SYNDICATED IN ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Proff Simeon Achinewhu just wrote on Akalaka/Ochichi Platform:

"I am responding to this statement of :"Ikwerre is Igbo" I am very sorry for the ignorant Ikwerre man or woman who does not know the History of his/her ethnic group. I have stated before that when I was a boy in the 40s we here the exclamation Ikwerre Ochichi.It was later in life that attempts were made by ethnic groups to research and compile their Histories independently.When these Histories were published, there was serious similarity in the History of Ekpeye, Ogba and Ikwerre.They all had the same Hostory of two brothers Akalaka and Ochichi who left Bini Kingdom in the 13th century because of disturbance and eventually settled after several trips through thick forest and water ie Niger River,Orashi and Sombreiro Rivers and settled in their present abodes.Akalaka the senior was father to Ekpeye and Ogba while Ochichi was father to Ikwerre.I connected this to the Ikwerre Ochichi I heard in the 40s as a village boy. The first neighbours Ikwerre man encountered was the Riverine people of Kalabari and Okrika.Ikwerre man had no contact with an Igbo man until the 19th century only after the advent of the white man when roads were opened.The climax was in I913 on the acquisition of Port Harcourt from the Rebisi people.The white man was looking for labourers and the Ikwerre and the surrounding neighbours ie Kalabari, Okrika and Eleme refused to be labourers.The white man therefore had to penetrate the Igbo hinterland and recruited very willing labourers.That was the beginning of Igbo man's adventure into Ikwerre.The administrative arrangement of the white man wrongly posited Ikwerre and other people of Southern Nigeria into Eastern region dominated by the Igbos.The 4 cardinal points are East West North and South. Nigeria was wrongly divided into North East and West. The area called the Niger Delta is the geographical South. The Ikwerre man would have clearly been a Southerner and not an Easterner.Ojukwu followed that mistake and included the Niger Delta people in his Biafra and that was why Biafra failed.The people of Niger Delta escorted the Nigerian through local bush paths to cut off or ambush the Biafran soldiers which led their defeat.This happened through out what is now Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwalbom and Cross River State. Ikwerre is intimately associated with the Niger.Ikwerre has distinct culture, tradition, dressing, dancing including masquerade, topography etc quite different from the Ibos.Name does not make an Ikwerre man an Ibo. A person answering a name similar to Igbo name does not make a man an Igbo. There are so many Nigerians answering English names or shall we report Goodiuck Jonathan to Uk"

You have time for that man.

We will use him to sacrifice to angry IkwerreBinis looking for Isomas to blame for all their life difficulties.
Him, Nnamdi Kanu and hordes of confused IPOBs will be used as sacrificial lamb by Igbo nationalists.
They are going to be useful on the long run.

Spiff20:
Not that I'm disputing this fact but I'm yet to see a Mayor or Chairman of Port Harcourt local government from okrika. Even deputy sef or a member of House of Assembly. Doesn't that tell you the Ikwerres hold the majority in the shared local government of how many villages sef
Elekahia
Ogbunuabali
Nkpogu
Oroworukwo
Diobu
Abuloma
Town
Okujagu

It only means you are marginalizing the Okrikas.
You should not cry when and if they regain power in Rivers state and decide to do same to you.

Spiff20:
Oga China is more than 1Billion people what do you expect?

Still running in circles.

Bottom line is that people leaving their environment to other environment to exploit available opportunities does not always mean that the new environment is more developed than theirs.
It can just mean that there is less competition in their area of specialization in the new area than in their own homelands.

Spiff20:
who told you Chinese expatriates are looking to eke a living in remote villages in Nigeria? They're either there as contractors with construction companies building roads and bridges and mapping out areas to set up military bases just like America. Don't you know China plans on buying Nigeria and other African countries through offering them astronomical loans they can't pay back in 10 decades. How chinese man go come hustle for remote village like bama or koma? think am na

So these ones too are expatriates working as contractors?
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/391246-17-chinese-men-arrested-for-illegal-mining-in-nigeria.html


Stop the joke already. Chinese are all over African villages doing illegal mining operations to make a living.
They are hustling all over Africa.

Spiff20:
How many Rivers people venture out of Rivers, when the state is the third most viable economy in the country. Do you move to greener pastures or less green pastures. Why is this so difficult to understand about Rivers People? You expect a Rivers man to leave Port Harcourt for Akwa Ibom to go and hustle? or owerri, enugu, Kaduna, osogbo, Borno?

Are all Ikwerres in Rivers state employed? Can Rivers state offer employment opportunities to all persons from Rivers state?
All those your youths in Rumu villages doing "I dey bam" cult and Co, are their job opportunities for all of them?
An Ikwerre youth that learnt how to do ordinary mason job, tiling work, interlocking, etc, and is good at it, would ultimately get job referrals from all over the country and would have to leave Rivers state to make money as Rivers state alone would not guarantee him steady job flow. He would be found in other parts of Nigeria.

An Ikwerre hardworking lady who is good at cooking could discover that the area she stays in PH is already choked with persons that cook as good as she can, she can relocate to let's say Benin City, in a street where the other restaurants can't match her culinary skills, and establish her restaurant business. Before you know it, she is the biggest restaurant owner in the area and would soon start training her younger ones in Emohua village in schools. She might have a customer who has connections in University of Benin, she talks to him, and he helps her secure lucrative courses admission for her two brothers at home.
The brothers graduate, marry Edo women, gets job with a company in Benin.

This is an idea of how a hardworking people tend to spread moping up every single opportunities their surroundings can offer.

The very idea that all Rivers youth need is in Rivers state is a fallacy that encourages laziness and youthful restiveness.

Spiff20:
China is enroute to world power are you?

This is obfuscation.

You argument is that people don't leave their homeland for less developed places in search of opportunities.
What does having a route to world power have to do with Chinese all over the most remote villages in Africa looking to make a living and even at most times illegally?
One should think Chinese coming from developed country wouldn't need to go to less developed countries to try and earn a living?

Notasyouthink:
I should be the one telling you that.
Nigger-areans are irredeemable that is why don't know that they are Britain slaves.

Ikwerre is Igbo if you don't like it, you're free to go and kiss a viper.

You will stay in Ochanja and Obiigbo and be saying this, right?

You no go like go Rumu village and say it to your Ikwerre Bini brothers there, right?

Ana agwo onye ibi ibi, ona eto afo. Jisi Ike.

Notasyouthink:
What are you insinuating?? Are you trying to tell me that, Ikweres are not in IPOB and ohaneze ndi Igbo?? Have you ask yourself, why ikwerres are in these groups if they don't see themselves as Igbo.

Stop being clever by half it is not every Igbo that is into buying and selling.
If radio Biafra is deluded, tell us what adjective we are to use in qualifying NTA and channels tv.

Saying that Ikwerre is not Igbo portrays you as agent of division and am sure that is what you came here to do.
You must be very slow to think that if you say Ikwerre is not Igbo somehow their Igbo identity will no longer exist.

You lots cannot be redeemed.
You are irredeemable.

Ikwerre is not Igbo.

Blackking98:
Imagine
Because of the tiny influence they've had in Rivers they want to rub shoulders with big boys.
I blame those ipob Ang igbos making them feel important because the only thing they would have used to be of consequence to igbos are sea access of which ikwerre is landlocked so I don't understand the famzing

It's senseless IPOB I blame.
IPOB has finished Ndiigbo.

OfoIgbo:
I am not blaming others for the Igbophobia observed in Ikwerreland. I only made the point that anti-Igbo Ikwerres, are the ones supported by outsiders who wish to undermine Ndigbo. These are two totally different things.

Now, with regards to Igbo interest, which you profess, we should all protect. Don't you think it is in Igbo interest to have up to two sea ports instead of one seaport? We already know that Obuaku port will always be an Igbo seaport if it gets constructed.
Constructing seaports at Bonny or/and Opobo will require an extra level of work to make it work, because these two places are effectively islands, and basically cut off from the mainly, which means there should be plans in place to move cargoes from such ports to inland locations.
So realistically, the only other place to have an ideal inland seaport is PH.

With this in mind, it still makes sense (and is in Igbo interest) to accept the Ikwerre into the Igbo fold, once they make a genuine and overwhelming move to join the other Igbos.

As I proposed earlier on, the cavaet is that it must be an overwhelming move championed by a generally accepted Ikwerre umbrella organisation, and the fact that after such a move, all those Ikwerres that were dancing naked in the public to scorn the Igbos (Wike included), will be made unfit for any purpose either within Ikwerre or in the general Igbo world.

It also won't hurt the Igbo interest to increase the Igbo headcount by a few hundreds of thousands, while at the same time, displaying some fairness and brotherliness to those Ikwerres that have stuck with us through thick and thin

Remember it is all about the Igbo interest. Nothing personal, simply business. I believe Igbo interest will be enhanced if we play the ball well, otherwise, they can stick with the different ethnic identity that some of them are seeking.

I agree totally with the need for a strong and uncompromising Igbo leadership. Not the wimps we have at the moment

Of course it's in the best interest of Igbophobic people in Nigeria to be in Unity with Igbophobic elements of Ikwerres who are the outright majority there. The dark usually calls out to the dark. There should be no surprises there.
I fail to see how Ikwerre not being Igbo undermine Ndiigbo. I see nothing it adds or removes to us. It only undermine us when we keep claiming then. Immediately we come out openly to denounce them and sue anyone of them impersonating us, their game will be up.
They count on your lots to continue claiming them to remain relevant and in the news.

Ikwerres cannot offer Ndiigbo sea access too. They are technically "landlocked". Check the map well.
From Ikwerre to the sea, you will need to pass through Ijaw controlled waters, it's same problem with the Obuaku case though, only that in case of Obuaku, the Imo river starts in our territory so we can work on securing international maritime right of passage.
Ikwerre is not going to add or remove anything to Igbo land. That's the raw truth.

Nope. It doesn't make sense to ever accept Ikwerres into Igbo gatherings now or in the future, they have burned all bridges between us and them and have crossed the Rubicon, there is no coming back from where they currently are.
We cannot trust them again. They are better off on their own at this point in time.

My point is that Ikwerre coming back to join Igbo will only be a parasitic union. Since they would only do so when they feel joining us have something to offer them, and not because they feel we are kins.
A kin stand with you when you have nothing, a parasite wants to relate with you when he has something to gain.
If we get our shit together ever again, only groups who stuck around now that we are at our lowest should have the rights to wear the Igbo tag.
The rest can stick with their current non Igbo tags and should do well to retain their Bini stories.
We would be stupid and naive to forget their current actions by admitting them back.


Increasing our headcount can easily be done by increasing our birth rate. We have one of the most fertile women on planet earth which is while our small land mass always had high population density and why neighboring minority groups including Ikwerres sort vigorously for our women.
We don't need any useless toxic Bini people to inflate our population, we can always do it within.

Let me tell you , Ikwerres remaining non Igbos would even make our negotiations for sea passage with minorities down south easier. Ikwerres accepting Igbo tag will even complicate things for us. Ijaws need land, we need sea, Ikwerres separate us both, I'm sure you can figure it out.

Yes! We need a strong leadership that can act without emotions, remorse or sentiments in securing Igbo interests as well as protecting the Igbo tag from haters who seek to denigrate it, and impostors and opportunists looking to exploit it.
I don't see that leadership in Ohanaeze or IPOB, but I'm hopeful that one day. That leadership will arise and we will be better for it.

Udo.

Blackking98:
You're just 4 LGAs out of 21
Igbos are recognized
Ijaws are recognized
Ibibios are recognize
Who or what is ikwerre?

Ikwerre is 3.5 LGA not 4. They share the would be 4th one, ie PHLGA with Okirikas.

Uchasa:
That man knows nothing, most people you think are Igbos are actually Ikwerres, we are just underrated, we are more than the Efiks and Ibibios joined together.

No one would ever mistake an Ikwerre for Igbos.
The difference is always clear.

Which Ikwerre man have ever been mistaken for Igbo? I have never seen one.

How many Ikwerres venture outside Rivers state?
Not much.

Parisian:
Ikwerres have the wealthiest LGA in Nigera and that is a fact. There was even a thread here on NL to that effect but you can look it up.

@ your last sentence, ikwerre LGAs are currently "helping" hundreds of LGA in Nigeria including your 90+ SE LGAs. Everyone knows that.

Now let me ask you, what exactly can ikwerre benefit from the SE?

Name them....i await your response.

You will first have to answer my question first.

How exactly are Ikwerre LGA helping 90 plus SE LGAs?

OfoIgbo:
Under normal circumstances, what you proposed above is the way to handle such a thing. In fact, every fibre in me wants something more hardline.

But I have to respect those few Ikwerres who are die-hard Igbos. You know that those sort of Ikwerres will never be given any publicity. The powers that be, will always promote the anti-Igbo Ikwerres. Believe you me, I know some of these Ikwerres on a one on one basis, who are highly disappointed at their people for their treachery towards the Igbos

The way to be fair to them, is to leave an opening that allows Ikwerres back into the fold. However, all the anti-Igbo Ikwerres will be made to go into political. social and cultural oblivion (if you know what I mean), while the steadfast pro-Igbo Ikwerres who have always been with us, through thick and thin, will be promoted and recognized and legitimised as the true leaders of the Ikwerre people. Otherwise we will be cutting our nose, to spite our face.
We mustn't be so annoyed that we "kill off" our true brothers.

Nwanne! You are still blaming others for Ikwerre Igbophobia. You wrote this as "Powers that be".

No powers that be made Ikwerre Igbophobic. The civil war ended 50yrs ago. Ikwerres have been in charge of Rivers state since 13yrs plus now. They are not answerable to any power. They could be anything they want to be, yet they chose to be rabidly Igbophobic.
They have only gotten worse in their Igbophobia culminating with Wike naming a structure in Ikwerrelamd after Gowon. It doesn't get more provocative than that.

There should be no gloves worn with how Ndiigbo handle this Ikwerre challenge, there shouldn't be room for sentiments and emotions. Our reaction must be cold and stoic sans feelings.

Ikwerre are not our Kins. I feel for few of them who are proudly Igbos. But there is nothing we can do about it. It so happens that few must pay for the sins of many.

Ikwerre is not part of Igbo body. They are not Igbos. So the issue of bitting the nose to spite the face don't arise.
And you got it wrong. I'm by no means angry with Ikwerres. I understand they are putting their own interests first irrespective of the harm such interests might be putting on Ndiigbo. In similar token, it's our obligation to put Igbo interests first and foremost, even if it meant Ikwerre extinction, so far as Igbo interests are protected, then I see no problem with it.

The above is how the rest of Nigeria relate with Ndiigbo and if we hope to compete favorably in this fiercely competitive situation, we must imbibe same disposition, irrespective of who is involved, as far as they are not Igbos.

The Ikwerres who are claiming Igbos should be expelled from Igbo unions and sent home to deal with their people. Their personal issues should not supersede Igbo nationalist interests.

We need a strong leadership.

Bkayyy:
Did this guy say ikwerre are hardworking and prosperous? Lol, I can't stop laughing

You think it's easy to harass tenants to pay house rent, to sell your family house to four people same time, to collect taxes from Igbo traders for Rivers government, to storm and disburb oil companies for settlements?

Nwanne. All the above take h ;Dard work o! Ikwerre na agbasi mbo nke.

Do you blame them? Nah IPOB and their deluded leadership in London dey fall Igbo hands like this.

OfoIgbo:
Of course, I know what I am proposing is near impossible, if not impossible.
But if they will ever want to be identified with Igbos again, that is what they will have to do. It is easy to destroy but more difficult to rebuild.

That is the eye of the needle that they will have to go through, to be accepted again.

You know how the world is. Today Igbos are the second-class citizens in Nigeria. Tomorrow they may be the first-class citizens. That is when they may start making moves to rejoin, but they will have to go through that process, otherwise they should be satisfied being a separate ethnic group.

Under no circumstances should Ikwerres be accepted as Igbos ever again.
That would be a foolish move.

You don't accept opportunist who only identify with you when the going is good, but not only deny you, but become chief leader of hostilities, lies and calumny against you, when you are down.

An example should be made of Ikwerres, to ensure that no other Igbo group tries to leave the Igbo Union when the going goes tough in the future.
That's how you do things.

proeast:
Lol, hardworking and prosperous can't be on the same sentence with Ikwerre. Igbos are hardworking, adventurous and prosperous, and that's why we are everywhere, making money and sending remmitances home. Sure, we are relevant and that's why Nigerians depend on Igbos in many areas of the economy, but same cannot be said of Ikwerre. You are insignificant and irrelevant in numbers and every other aspect, and to worsen it, you guys are naturally lazy.

Who even wants you in Biafra to start with? Is there anything you can offer Biafra that we don't have already? The answer is a capital NO!!

Lastly, it sulks to be minute minority, knowing that there is a glass ceiling you can never go beyond. Amaechi has suddenly realized that belonging to an irrelevant, inconsequential and unknown group like Ikwerre ethnic nationality will get him no where and that is why he is now claiming to be Igbo, but it's too late, he should join you guys and demand for Ikwerre presidency since we are mates

Naturally this is how we should react and communicate with Ikwerres.
Speaking to them bluntly with no emotional attachments of non existent kinship.

Good one!

IPOBIANS, take note! There should be no difference between how Ndiigbo relate with Yorubas to how we should relate with Ikwerres. Ikwerres are worst than Yorubas as far as Igbophobia is concerned. The evil the Ikwerres harbor in their mind towards Ndiigbo, not even Awolowo or any Yoruba man in history have harbored such. Yet somehow, some Igbos are too blind to this.
I keep saying, I would Better call a Yoruba a brother or vote for Tinubu, than call an Ikwerre a brother or support an Ikwerre man like Wike or Amaechi.

Ikwerres are opportunists. Naturally, we should be suing the Ikwerre opportunist called Ramaechi Rotimi and the likes of Okwukwu for trying to impersonate Igbos.
But we lack the leadership to pull in One Direction. But we will eventually get there.

IkwerrePikin:
Crime is everywhere

Chinese move out because they want to explore

But you igbos move because your land is nothing to write about.

China have developed china before moving out to explore, how have you igbos developed your land?

Red mud land beautiful? Is it Aba or Onitsha?

You’re migrants

Igboland is surely more developed than Ikwerre land.

Ikwerre cannot boast of a single city.
PH is a shared City between Ikwerre and Okrika.

What other big Urban centre exist throughout Ikwerreland ?

None!

Despite our adventure nature. Igboland remain the area with biggest population density after Lagos in Nigeria. Showing you that many of us are still in Igboland because it's a land filled with opportunities too.

OfoIgbo:
That has always been my way of seeing things, and was not influenced by anybody.

However, I am open to forgiveness, if they're to mend their ways and rejoin the greater Igbo family. But this must be an overwhelming action, rather than one or two people, making a statement, just like Amaechi and Okwukwu are doing.
It has to be an overwhelming turnaround by all Ikwerres, possibly championed by their apex organisations, most especially OGBAKOR IKWERRE.

It will never happen. Forget it.

They are playing long con game, and its about time we started doing same with them.

Okwukwu claims Igbo yet his Elele town development union are members Of ogbakor Ikwerre.
It's not us he should be telling he is Igbo. He should take up his case to his Umunna. If he loses, he should accept his non Igbo status.

This is a very simple issue. But emotional Igbos are making it look complex than it is.

IkwerrePikin:
My friend your biafra is nothing to write about that is why you people end up being migrants all over the world which shows you are no difference from Fulani.

The only difference between fulani and igbo is the type of business they do. Claiming other peoples land.

Igboland on the contrary is a beautiful place.
