Can somebody educate us on the history of the Ikweres and the Aniomas.How did they migrate to their present abode? Then we can take the argument from there. |

th Ntom: they didn't migrate from anywhere, they are Aborigines of their land unless you want us to discuss human migration right from early man and how all group came to settle where they are now. they used anioma to identify igbo town and local government areas carved into delta state as delta have other ethnic groups .(A) for Aniocha, (N) for Ndokwa, (I) for Ika-Igbo, (O) for Oshimili, M and A are common denominators found in the four original local governments. The coinage was made by the founding father, Chief Dennis Osadebay in 1951 and has since remained the preferred indigenous name by which the people collectively refer to themselves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anioma as for ikwerre they are one of the over 10 igbo groups in rivers state, they are the most popular, controversial and largest and most of the land in ph city axis belongs to them (amechi is ikwerre) with 4 local governments (ikwerreLGA, obia/akporLGA,PORTHARCOURT LGA and emohua LGA) but ph is eating up other lands as well down to the obigbo people another igbo group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyigbo the onelga(ogbo,ndoni and etche) people are of ogbaru clan(peter odilli is from onelga) their brothers can be found in anambra too(atani,ohita,odekpe) and parts of imo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni the ekpeye people are found all the way from imo to rivers (mainly ahaoda LGA)down to boundry towns in bayelsa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekpeye 1 Like |

[size=18pt]The Anioma or Ikwerre man would most likely speak in English or better still pigeon English to a stranger or unassuming august visitor than our friends from the East Central areas, who many a times think everyone understands their language. Salient differences like this in the act of social cohesion and accommodation of others are the attributes these [/size] [size=18pt]two Igbo sub groups has which the East Centran Igbo lacks.[/size] |

I wonder why you all are busy giving us inaccurate information about Rivers State.You guys should just stop it! Let Rivers people determine their fate.Igbos and Ijaws should let them be. |
| Re: River State Should Be Part Of The South East since Igbo have 6 governors by bashr4: 2:26pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
Abagworo: no we cant let them be cause tomorrow when something terrible happens and the person bears an igbo or ijaw name ,nobody will ask them whether they are from rivers or other igbo or ijaw states, the whole igbo or ijaw nation will be blamed for it. we cannot keep letting them be ,its just plain stupid for every local govt in rivers to claim a different ethnic group. At least let people know exactly who they are. 1 Like |

The Ikwerre have no say in the matter. This confused bunch are an Igbo speaking people and if it was not for oil, they would still be considered Igbo. This is for their own good. If you have Igbo names, your culture is Igbo and you speak our language, then what does that make you? An Igbo. . . I could understand if they were a distinct group like the Ibibio who have a separate language, naming and culture from the Igbo, but these Ikwerre are IGBO!  1 Like |

[size=18pt] Let me tell you all the truth of the matter. The Ikwerre would be simply another insignificant Igbo clan to the majority if not for one major reason. They and some other groups are blocking Igbo access to the sea. It is not about oil. It have never been about oil, because the Igbo hinterland has plenty of oil from Anambra to Abia. Access to the sea is not negotiable. [/size] |

people always claim that ikwerre man or rivers man will fight you if you call him an igbo man yet their traditional rulers are celebrating ada ndigbo in rivers state ,infact i think they came up with the trend, i always tell people not to take anything they read on nairaland seriously cause the situation is different in real life. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-325765.0.html the link again for those that have not seen the celebration. |

ezeagu: yeah Nigerian map makes it look like theres land after portharcourt but its all just lakes, mangroove and swamps that lead to the ocean. ikwerres where never landlocked that's why amaechi is clearing illegal settlements in those areas. |

[size=18pt] And the term "special Igbo" that [b]Knowall [/b]used to describe the Anioma and Ikwerrre is a slap in our faces. All Igbo groups are unique, but we have commonalities in language, culture and beliefs. Even villages in a particular area are diverse. That is the beauty of being Igbo. The diversity of our culture. Not something codified like our Hausa neighbors to the North and Yoruba neighbors to the West. [/size] |
