I am of the opinion that ikwere be allowed to determine WHO they are and let ndigbo Accept the fact they say they are Not igbos.. but also in there Story IT already Shows that the progenitor Akalaka and ihruoha are igbos from their names, which would have been the reason they left benin, If they felt Not Welcome and still went southwards knowing their kin and people were domiciled ON that areas.. Akalaka IS a an igbos name not Benin Same AS Ihruoha.. so they already left Benin AS igbo men.m
Not all of us buy the idea of Bini origin. What about if a Bini prince married an Igbo lady and perhaps left his hood because of disagreement or disapproval with his choice of wife with kins?

Bro Something does Not add Up..an english man migrating from England cannot have a spanisch surname and Name unless there has been Migration in His History before..Like all this super Eagles Players from abroad..odewingie Shows u even in uzebekistan,russiia etc that there was a Prior Migration from Edo Nigeria...

Akalaka and iwuroha already Shows that they were Not Benin..or their was a Prior Migration from igboland AS Akalaka and Ihruoha are igbo names..

Having Said that...i believe in self determination..and ikwere should be allowed to define themselves.. And i dont Understand why my fellow igbos dont Just Accept IT .
I don't go by Bini migration theory. I have my language to speak which doesn't have anything to do with yours. Names are copied. Ikwerre and Igbos are mutually intelligible languages according to linguistics.
One is not the other.

I am trying to rap my head around, what ibos are trying to achieve by mapping out other tribe lands into theirs.

Igbo and Ikwerre don't share the same values, culture, and your languages are not the same no matter how you try to force it.

You open a tread about a tribe that don't even care about you.

No people in Nigeria displays this level of stvpidity other than Igbo people.
Na them oooo. The people showed us shege when they had the chance. Igbos asking Ikwerres to accept them is like asking black South Africans to go back to the era of Apartheid.
No one intentionally works into captivity especially when you have felt it before. My uncle was buried alive in front of our community by the Igbos. He was accused to be a spy for Nigerian Army. The sordid part of it is that he dug his grave himself.

DISCLAIMER!!!

I am directed by the Ag National Chairman of the PDP, HE Amb Umar Iliya Damagun, to REFUTE the Press Statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary,Hon Debo Ologunagba earlier today,dated 16th January,2025,to the effect that the National Working Committee(NWC)sat and approved the verdict,recognising the Ewo-led exco in Rivers state

For the avoidance of doubt,not even the said judgement has been served on the party,just yet.

Accordingly,the NWC has NEITHER received NOR sat to take any DECISION on the said judgement,which, in any case,has been APPEALED

The NWC hereby distances itself from the CALCULATED FALSEHOOD aimed at achieving a predetermined objective

The NPS has, of late,embarked on a frolic of his own by taking EXTREME and CONTRADICTORY opinions against the collective resolve of the NWC with a view to undermining its authority

Members of the public,especially the PDP family, are hereby enjoined to DISREGARD and DISCARD the publication, which is merely the figment of the NPS's imagination

At the earliest convenience,the official position of the NWC on this matter shall be communicated accordingly .

The language you speak as Igbo is a corrupted Ikwerre language. You stole the language on your arrival from wandering in the wilderness of Egypt and Israel.

Augustine2244:
Ikwerre is Igbo.
Am Igbo from Anambra and I understand Ikwerre dialect.
I can hear their speech.
Any SE Igbo can understand their dialect.,Oga.
Ikwerres started disassociation from the larger Igbo race after the Nigerian Civil War, because of grudges borne of the hurts of the war and behaviour of the Biafran army towards Ikwerres who were regarded as sabo.
After the war,names of places in Ikwerre land were altered.
Umuji became Rumuji,Umuobiokani_Rumuobiokani, Umuibekwe became Rumuibekwe,Umuolumeni _Rumuolumeni,Umuomasi_ Rumumasi,Umuepirikom became Rumuepiriokom.
Umueme became Rumueme and so on.
You wake up old wound whenever you Igbos tell us we changed our community names after the war. Stop it! Your forbears came to Ikwerre land in multitude as slaves and house helps. Providence ceded power to them by reason of their population in eastern Nigeria. Someone who used to be slave to you was made the master overnight by the government. That was how your forebears turned against and started to force their languages and names on us and our communities.
You don't understand Ikwerre language. I was with someone who knows how to speak Igbo the other day but not an Igbo person. He said he understands Igbos when they speak but don't understand Ikwerre despite his mastery of Igbo.

You must be a real politician cheesy


My brother, people that are not related by blood ancestry can speak same or similar language based on boundary proximity, you are right with that, but there is no way they can have same culture, traditional practices, etc, those ones can never cross border, and if at all, only through conolization and yet the colonized region will never abandon all their culture and tradition to adopt that of their colonial master.


All the Igbo speaking communities outside today's Southeast practice the same culture and tradition with Igbos in Southeast of today, they speak same dialect, practice same market day style that no other ethnic tribe practices in Nigeria, new yarm festival, break kola nut, and many other Igbo heritage tradition and culture.


Haven lived in Europe, I would have loved to educate you more on the language similarities you made mention of, but it will make my comment too lengthy.


Switzerland is made up of Germans, French, etc even though they are their own sovereign nation. Ukraine have pure Russians which Putin have been trying to annex, but some of those Ukrainians dont want to join Russia, they said they are not Russians while some want to join their motherland Russia, its same thing playing between Igbos in Southeast and Igbos outside Southeast like Ikwerre people, it's not new.


Puerto Rican people are suffering same with their motherland America, so we understand all these games lol




Nwanne (Wune), leave all these denials, you are free to claim Hausa, Bororo, Yoruba or even Russian, you guys have the right but please while doing that, respect other people's decision, you guys should stop attacking other Ikwerre sons and daughters that agreed that they are Igbo, let them be and focus on who you said you are; none Igbo related tribe, it's fine but stop castigating/denigrating Igbos while denying your Igbo ancestry, you can do that respectfully and in respect of other people's belief and opinion. Every Nigerian know the truth outside Naija dirty crude oil politics, so do your Igbo denial with dignity and respect of others and everybody is fine.


I have the right to disown my father and claim to be born by an Hausa man if that would help my business or political ambition which is why some Ikwerre people and some other Igbos outside Southeast do after the end of the civil war to enable them survive the dirty post-civil war Naija crude oil politics, it's well understood but please stop attacking your fellow Ikwerre people that agreed that they are Igbos, let them be and stop tarnishing Southeast Igbos' image while doing your Igbo ancestry denial, of a truth, majority of us don't really care the identity you guys decide to take, we have advanced beyond that stage, Igbos in Southeast are now a force to reckon with within and outside Nigeria that you guys should be proud of. Forget all these painting of IPOB as a terrorist group while European countries, America, Asia, etc recognized IPOB as a global movement which many Nigerians use successfully to file for asylum, all those painting of IPOB as terror group and use of unknown gunmen to destabilize Southeast making some of you to see Southeast as a dead region is politics and it will definitely expire very soon.



So please take it easy, nobody is forcing you to be Igbo, you have the right to be whoever you want to be, peace
Me speaking what sounds familiar to you doesn't make me your father's son. This is what Ikwerre people want you people to know. It is only a coincidence. I understand a little of Igbo today due to several reasons viz: Many Igbos in Port Harcourt I overheard them communicate. Many of our grandmothers and including wives and mothers are Igbos. We were thought Igbo in school.
Culture can be copied. Whenever we had challenges in our local communities ideas come even from our wives who most times are Igbos that we could get a solution especially from a dibia in Igbo land.
Before I appear like I am denying everything igbo, I am not. Our stand is that we are a related People. We may have a common ancestry which we have lost the history. We agree that we are brothers. But one is not the other no matter the size. This contention never started today. It started before independence, after independence, before, during and after the war.
If Igbos do not ulterior motive there are various way to incorporate people who speak similar language with them. An Ikwerre man like myself will welcome and belong to a cultural organisation called Ohaneze indigbo Na Nwanne Indigbo. This is how to bring in am Ikwerre man

I understand it's all about Naija crude oil politics, but you guys should remember that crude oil like every other mineral resources will soon lose it's high economic value in the world with the rise of renewable energy solutions like Solar, rechargeable lithium batteries, and even natural gas which the whites are seriously advancing on to replace crude oil in order to reduce economic influence of MiddleEast Muslim nations using their versed crude oil wealth to sponsor Muslim extremism/Jihad all over the world.



I am sure you may even be bearing an Igbo name, speak Igbo, believe in Igbo 4 market day style of Eke, Orie, Afor, Nkwo, also break kola nut, do new yarm festival, etc yet you are claiming that you came from Bini whereas Oba of Bini denied you guys being from Bini kingdom and boldly said you guys are Igbos while Yorubas continue to cheerlead you guys to believe you are Bini or sometimes that you guys are a different ethnic tribe just to ensure Igbos scattered by the civil war and balkanized by the Nigerian military heartless boundary adjustments during state creations to reduce Igbo influence and strengthen economically and politically never come back together to challenge their impunity in Nigeria.


Make una continue oh.

Na all these una unstable behavior de make we the successful Igbo sons and daughters don't like investing in Rivers State real estate like we do in Lagos, Abuja and now Asaba which would have turned Rivers state to another Lagos Island.


For you guys information, majority of Igbos are not bothered by whatever ethnic identity Igbos outside the 5 southeastern states decide to take, we have no interest in that at all, it's just some Igbo politicians that are making it look like we care so much about the identity you guys decide to take, honestly majority of Igbos are tired of all these show of shame of we are Igbo today, we are not Igbos tomorrow and wished it could be laid to an eternal rest to avoid all these continuous show of shame.


Why we are keeping quiet and not attacking you guys brazenly like you guys do to us Igbos in today's Southeast whenever u guys want to deny your Igbo ancestry is because we know it's all about the dirty crude oil politics of Nigeria and blood they said is thicker than water and we being your ancestral origin and big brothers can never be the ones cheerleading the stupidity of denying you guys your true Igbo ancestry, that's why we can only correct you guys hoping one day after crude oil have lost it's high value and after all the dirty Naija crude oil politics that's making you guys scared of accepting your Igbo origin and identifying fully with your Igbo brethrens in today's Southeast, that your senses will come back someday.
I doubt if you have come in close contact with an Ikwerre person. You would have observed that the difference is clear. Only God can explain or knows why our languages have some words in common. However I think you stole my language as what you speak today has nothing with Hebrew having arrived from Israel. Mutual intelligibility of languages is not only found in Nigeria. It is a phenomenon all over the world. Malaysia and Indonesia. Ukraine and Poland. Urhobo and Isoko. Yoruba and Itsekiri. Sweden and Norway, Denmark, Finland. Portugal and Spain.
If this your annexing attitude continues we will approach the national assembly to derecognised you people as an ethnic group as you people are Ikwerres. In democratic settings decisions are decided by voting. You can guess where south west and the whole of North will vote.

MadamExcellency:
You can speak for yourself but not for all Ikwerre.

Ikwerre has a mythology that says Ikwerre and Ngwa are the same siblings from the same father and same mother.

If the Ngwas are Igbos. The Ikwerre are Igbos. They are offsprings of the same father.

Agreed, Wike and every other Ikwerre person has the right to hold any view so far as it is within the ambit of the law and not counter-productive. You can define yourself in any manner you deems fit. But you are not in anyway speaking for all Ikwerre people.

It is important to state for record purposes that historically Ikwerres fully identified themselves as Igbos without suffering harms. Chief Joseph Wobo, member of the Council of Chiefs of Eastern Nigeria, clearly stated he was an Igbo. Nobody can dismiss him as he defended Ikwerreland in colonial Nigeria

Sir Jackson Mpi, first and last Ikwerre to be conferred with Knight of the Order of British Empire, OBE, by Queen Elizabeth II of England in 1960, identified himself as Igbo. From the ancient Kingdom of Isiokpo, Sir Mpi worked tirelessly for Igbo advancement.

Dr Obi Wali was the first Ikwerre PhD holder, senator and university lecturer. He was also the only Ikwerre in the 1978 Constituent Assembly where he was selected one of the 50 Wise Men that drafted the 1979 constitution. The great Dr Wali identified fully with his Igbo heritage and was gruesomely assassinated defending it.

Okogbule Wonodi, first Ikwerre registrar of any university, first and only Ikwerre poet and Paramount title Holder of Eze Ohiaemeru. Ohiaemeru, where you have present-day Comprehensive College in Borokiri, was his ancestral home before the British vacated them between 1913-1923. Wonodi remained a respected member of Nzukor Igbo and Ohanaeze Ndigbo till the end of his life.

Patriot Emmanuel Aguma was former Mayor of Port Harcourt. As Principal of St John College, Diobu, he was the first Ikwerre to head any college. One of six pre-independence Ikwerre University graduates, former administrator of Port Harcourt Province in the defunct Peoples Republic of Biafra, first Ikwere minister in 1979, Aguma remained a member of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Emmanuel Oriji was a respected local government administrator, traditional ruler, a commissioner in old Rivers and core Igbo nationalist. The immediate past Deputy Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Isaac Wonwu, is an illustrious Ikwerre son from Elele. He is known to assert his Igbo identity. Equally valid, Chief Jackson Womenazu from Rumukrushi in the Evo Kingdom is a member of the Elders’ Council of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

In colonial documents, written when Igbos had no capacity to influence anything, Ikwerres also defined themselves as Igbos. When Ikwerre leaders presented their case before the 1957 Sir Henry Willinks Commission, Wobo declared that Ikwerres were Igbos and Port Harcourt to Onitsha was Igboland.

The cream of Ikwerreland have asserted their Igboness. Most illustrious sons and daughters. Tell me any Ikwerre whose CV can match those of Mpi, Wobo, Aguma, Wonodi, Dr Wali or Amaechi?
If you like write episode it will still yield to nothing. Among us are freed Igbo slaves offsprings. They do t have issues claiming to be Igbos which they truly are. Ngwa people I have heard similar. By their position they accepted Igbo identity. The might has it that they are related to Obio people. That he killed someone and ran away.

Why is our nwa nwas from Ijaw,Ibibio,Efik,Yoruba etc not members of Ohanaeze?
You people have a plan of annexing Ikwerre land. It is a subtle move but we are ahead of you people. Livingstone Wechie and John Mbata mother's are all from Igbo. So their belonging to Ohaneze is all about nwa nwa.

I ask you, who are these Ipobidients? I don't know why you're scared and cannot be bold to shed light on what you believe and has been propagating for hours now? Be a man and let us know who they are?
Just go to police station. Police will tell you.

Your comment wasn't harmless comments but divisive comments that some people start to attacking you for it, you will be claiming innocence.
Please arrest who? You're the one to be arrested for making divisive comments and constituting nuisance.
I bet you if you go to any police station now and mention that you are sympathetic to Ipobidients you will be handcuffed immediately.

I am Ikwerre and l see no wrong with what John Mbata did. Mbata mother is Igbo. Going by Ohaneze constitution they allow their nwa nwa to be members of Ohaneze. John Mbata unlike Livingstone Wechie never made a statement against the Ikwerre people. He is there on his personal interest.
Let's allow this to rest.

Thankfully I have a nursery 2 daughter at home. I have asked her and she said she doesn't know anything like that.
Now can you come out of your shell and be bold enough. Who are Ipobidients and who are those that came from the land of bitterness?
Why are you so particular about this my harmless comment. Do U want to arrest them? They are nuisance to the society.
