Nigerian Tribes settled in their respective lands centuries ago before you and I were born,our forefathers couldn't read or write so they didn't keep any written records,all we have to know our origin is common sense, geography and genealogical test,most African Americans trace their origin to west Africa especially igboland through geneological testing.

When you see a white man I bet you you can't know which country he came from by mearly looking at him unless he tell you his name or he tells you where he came from,
In Nigeria I bet the easiest tribe to identify are igbos because they are the most travelled tribe in West Africa,the moment you met an ikwerre or anioma if he tells you his name the first thing that comes to your mind is he is igbo even if he denies it subconsciously you will still doubt him.

If the ikwerres anioma argument was a case or land dispute in court the igbos would have won it a long time ago,because the evidence is too overwhelming ,igbos will win with the just giving out the believe points

1) When a group of people migrate to a new place common sense says the first thing they will naturally do is to name the land with their language.you came from Benin but you name every single town ,city and village Igbo names that's impossible .

2) you cannot say you are a different ethnic when 95% of your language and dress is similar to another bigger ethnic group.its like saying a boa is not a snake because it doesn't have venom or doesn't spit.

3)how did ikwerres migrate from Benin passing through urhobos,itshekiris and ijaw without being attacked by their warriors .. how did they survive wild animals,swamp snakes and all from such a long distance that's logically impossible.

4) the boundary boundary between anambra and and delta igbos is just river Niger,even if aniomas are binis a large part of them would be igbos because there is no way you will make me believe igbos in anambara did not cross river Niger to settle westwards centuries ago,igbos migrated as far as bioko in Gabon crossing the atlantic talkless of River Niger funny isn't it..

Let's use our brain sentiments kills faster than malaria..

Useless post.If Ikwerri people accept they are Igbo today will that reduced your monthly bills or pay your house rent?

PapaNwaeje:


What of amotekun and the rest? Na only for Igbo, python get strength for

The Nigeria genocidal army will surely come for them,they better get prepared to defend themselves because I don't want to see another set of Igbo youths massacred once again.Stop comparing Amotekun that was extablished by state government with ESN that was lunched by banned group in Nigeria.

HISTORY OF IKWERRE PEOPLE - Prof. ERIC AMADI*


Majority of the Ikwerre settlements have their roots traceable from the old Benin Empire.” Iwhnurọhna people descended from the ancient Bini Kingdom.
The name of the grand ancestor is Akalaka.
Their relations in Rivers State are Ekpeye and Ogba people.

The reigning Oba of Benin when Akalaka, the ancestor of Ihruọha (later called Iwhnurọhna) fled was Oba Ewuare (Ogwaro).
Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled in the 13th century on allegation of plotting assassination of the Oba.
He died in 1462.

Iwhnurọhna his third son settled east of the Sombrero River by 1538 AD, as detailed below.
Chief N.M.T. Solomon (2004), native of Ikodu Ubie in Ekpeyeland, in his narrative draws heavily from the now authenticated written historical records delivered by various informed sources including “Eketu (Weber) of Ubeta, assumed to have lived for over two hundred (200) years as the oldest man in all Ekpeye, Ogba and Iwhnurọ hna (or Ikwerre), at that time (and) was asked to narrate the history and customs of Ekpeye people” as unfolded in his lifetime.

Here is what he said, which has been validated by the accounts of the current generation through responses to our questionnaires and direct interviews thereby increasing our level of confidence on the data: Ekpeye, born in Benin, was the first of the three sons of Akalaka.
While in Ndoni, he married a second wife to gain the love and favour of the people.
The new wife gave birth to a son, which he named Ogba. Akalaka was still in Ndoni when his first wife, the mother of Ekpeye, gave birth to his third son called Ihruoha (Ikwerre).

Similar historical fact by J.N. Olise (1971) averred that: “Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled with his wife from Benin to Ndoni, a community located close to the River Niger, to save the life of his new born baby (Ekpeye) …

While at Ndoni, Akalaka took a second wife. … Akalaka had two sons, Ekpeye – born to him by his Benin wife, and Ogba – born to him by his Ndoni wife. According to F.E. Otuwarikpo (1994): ” After the death of Akalaka in 1462 AD, his two sons, Ekpeye and Ogba had conflict, which compelled Ogba, the younger son, to move northwards where he founded Ohiakwo (Obigwe) and settled with his family. Ekpeye who remained at Ula-Ubie had seven sons – Ubie, Akoh, Upata, Igbuduya, Ekpe, Awala and Asa.

The last three sons – Ekpe, Awala and Asa crossed to the other side of Sombreiro River (present day Ikwerreland and settled there since 1538 AD.”
He added that: “Ekpe migrated to present day Rumuekpe and spread through Elele (Alimini), Ndele, Rumuji and part of Ibaa.
Awala migrated to present day Isiokpo …” Amadi-Nna (1993) also said Akalaka migrated with his half brother called Ochichi from the area of Benin Empire.
Ochichi sons were Ele (Omerele, now Elele), Elu (Elumuoha, now Omerelu), Egbe (Egbeda) and Mini (Alimini, Isiokpo).

The crucial point here, which is of great importance in tracing the joint origin of the ancestors of the Old Ahoada Division (in the Governor Diete-Spiff administration), is the mention of the number of children that Akalaka had, namely: Ekpeye, Ogba and Ihru ọ ha (Ikwerre). It is noteworthy that the pedigree and name of Ikwerre people, Iwhnurọhna, obviously took its root from this original name – Ihruọha.

Chief Solomon therefore establishes a very vital historical link, which has been missing in literature on Ikwerre origin that would assume more significance in the discourses of Ikwerre genealogy in the future – the fact that Akalaka was the direct father of Ihru ọha (Ikwerre). Iwhnurọhna, in Ikwere parlance, means the face of the community (town, city or village).

Nigerian colonial history records that the name “Ikwerre” was given by the colonial administration when they wanted to acquire the Rebisi waterfront to build the wharf. Using an Ibo interpreter to talk to the illiterate Rebisi (Port Harcourt) chiefs, they asked them: Would you permit us to use the waterfront to build the wharf for ships to berth?
And they answered: A KWERULEM , meaning – “We have agreed.”

What the white-man was hearing was “Ikwerre,” so he recorded it in the official gazette that the IKWERRE PEOPLE have agreed for the colonial administration to build the wharf.
And since it was the official record of government, the name Ikwerre became the name of the Iwhnurohna people in all official documentations till date.

Similar cases of Anglicization of native names in the NigerDelta region by the colonial administration are Benin for Bini, Okrika for Wakrike, Degema for Udekema, Abonnema for Obonoma, Brass for Gbara sni, Bonny for Ibani, Pepple for Perekule, Ahoada for Ehuda, etc Even so, “… there were dissenting voices, … who believed that Ikwerre origins lay outside Igbo land, … in the Benin Kingdom of old.
It is, therefore, obvious that the interminable debate about Ikwerre origins and migrations including the repudiation of the Igbo tradition is not a phenomenon of the post-civil war period.

The controversy, as it were, is not necessarily the product of the present political realities wherein groups which hitherto were seen to have cultural affinities now find themselves in different states or administrative systems.” — K.O. Amadi (1993)

The Ogbakor Ikwerre Convention, a cultural organization of Ikwerre people, in a paper presented to the Human Right Violation Commission headed by Rtd. Justice Chukwudifu
Oputa on 10 October 2001, said:
“Ikwerre ethnic nationality is not and has never been a sub-group of any other tribe in Nigeria including Ndi-Igbo.

There is no doubt that the advent of the British and later regionalization put Ndi-Igbo at the helm of affairs in Eastern Nigeria.
This brought Ndi-Igbo into Ikwerre land.
In course of time, the Igbo took advantage of their position in the then Eastern Regional Government to grab land in Ikwerre and occupy political positions such as the mayor of Port Harcourt.
In the process, Ikwerre along with other minority groups were marginalized and driven to the
background.”

Professor Godwin Tasie noted that in 1913 the Rt Rev Herbert Tugwell, the Anglican Bishop on the Niger, undertook an experimentation tour of Ikwerre towns and villages assumed to be Ibo-speaking to test the Union Ibo Bible Nso being introduced in Iboland.
“Tugwell discovered from the tests he carried out that although the Ikwerre were often regarded as Ibo… the Union Ibo Bible translation, surprisingly, was not easily understood by the Ikwere.”

This is obviously why Igbo vernacular was compulsorily introduced and taught in all schools in Ikwerre land before the Nigerian Civil War to the assimilation (i.e. destruction) of the Ikwere language.
This also obviously led to the Rumuomasi Declaration in 1965. ” … in their meeting at Rumuomasi in 1965 the Ikwerre had, under the umbrella of a highly promising new
body that was to get the Ikwerre together as a people of new and clearer vision, they had declared themselves as a people of the distinct identity of Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality – not Ibo, not Ijo, not anything else but Ikwerre, Iwhnurọhna.

This was the historic Rumuomasi Declaration of 1965 (G.O.M. Tasie, 2000).
The full implication is that Ikwere people began to assert themselves forcefully as an ethnic nationality of their own and not Ibos or Ijos, and efforts were made to revert to the original Ikwere names for families, villages, communities and landmarks.
For instance, there was the change from Umuola to Rumuola, Umuoro to Rumuoro , Umukrushi to Rumuokwurusi , just to name a few.

Ango Abdullahi said you are a good boy! Well done! He said Kanu is a bad boy.

You freaks have voice to challenge Kanu but do you have voice to challenge Ango or any arewa?

When kaduna declare that Igbos must vacate north Ango was the one backing them and he spoke in their support even when others asked for their arrest. Ango stood up for them to threaten Igbos.

There is connection between that and Ango now visiting Rivers to pat little Wike on that freaking pawpaw skull he calls head. Ango says good job to all thr mwaah mwaah arewa @ss lickers.

Nnamdi Kanu should visit Wike as a Supreme leader and teach him a lesson,why not or is he just a twitter warrior?

bigpriik:
Ipob has instilled fear in the north,they are the reason northerners are afraid of touching igbos lives up north,take it or leave it they are our army and will fight for us in time of chaos,just like Igbo youths volunteered to fight for ojukwu ,this is the new generation of igbo volunteers.

The yorubas have amotekun,we have ipob they are by far better than ohaneze ndioshi and other stupid igbo groups just that they don't have any constitutional powers,if we ever turn our backs against them we are done for in Nigeria.God bless ipob ,God bless Kanu ,God bless freedom fighters all over the world.

IPOB that have so far lost miserably every senseless battle it has fought till date, be it at Afaraukwu, Emene, Aba or Obigbo.Abeg o make una stop fighting for us maka chineke. Ipob will lead ndi Igbo to a humiliating defeat never seen in history of mankind.} God forbid.

mekysmart123:
I have never liked Wike for once. I know him from his days as LGA Chiarman, Wike has never hidden his disdain for anything Igbo. One of his cronies ones said, Wike is willing to kill all Igbos in Rivers State, if they stand as a threat to his ambition.
Why I don't blame him, is because of the grossly naive IPOB and their inability to differentiate between enemies and friends. If IPOB did not give him the platform, Wike wouldn't have any advantage to carry out his long hidden hate.
Countless times, Wike has insulted Igbos, including calling one of his political opponent, in of the Igbo speaking LGA "that Igbo boy", as if the Igbo tag is a taboo.
Go to Rivers state, and see how our brothers are crawling and begging for their business to thrive, especially in Ikokwu that he is hell bent on closing down. The worst is Ohaneze romancing with him, instead of calling him to order. Igbos don't have friends in this contraption, and thus call for the wisdom of survival.

IPOB is only good at bringing disgrace and humiliaition to the Igbo nation,If not for their crass stupidity, a dirty opportunist like Wike won't be using ndi Igbo to shine his political shoes.

Arrewa:
Majority of the people killed are not Hausafulani but mostly Niger migrants who are Hausa speakers and Muslims.

Those Nigeriens make up 90% of Hausa speakers in the south.

But we would not tolerate the killing of Nigeriens cos killing them is like an attack on the North.

The people attacking them are killing them not because they commit any crime... But because they speak Hausa and are Muslims.

We would stand and defend not only Hausafulanis but Nigeriens who are being mistaken to Hausafulanis and many of them are being attacked.

In as much as I condemn any acts of violence against northerners liiving in SE,the North should also be made to understand that our people will no longer tolerate criminal herdsmen from the North killing our people on their farms and homes.

Guys are running away from Boko Haram.
