As usual always enforcing your beliefs on others, ibos and thier way of thinking

His he not saying the truth? Say whatever you want but they are a high percentage of Ikwerres who agree they are Igbos. They might be in the minority but do not reject them their right

GeneralPula:



And what of the hatred the Igbos are having for Nigeria?

Or which citizen with a good mental health would refer to his country of birth as a Zoo?

Make Nigerians dey show you love when all you people do is spread out hate?

Una never see chumthing..

You check m out Na. Are they lying? Is this not a characteristic of a Zoo

TheSupleemLeada:


You have governors.....let them do the needful or vote them out....oh, I forgot, alot of your brothers are on tinubu's matter.

Just Shutup. I can see how your Governors in the SW and Tinubu has dealt with the bandits matter.. no wonder most of your villages is in the hands of those terrorists and your villagers are in Benin as IDPs

Rossikki:


I just don't know why Igbos are constituting a nuisance to the country.

See how they are chasing them around everywhere.

You have come here fa...to start fight. Just shutup and leave here please

Stop sounding like an idi. ot with the bolded if you want to pretend that you know what you are saying.

The forceful changing of our names was the genesis of Ikwerre people bitterness with the Igbos.
You call Ikwerre a subgroup of Igbos because of the size of igbo. Now reverse the order with Ikwerre having 5 States and Igbo having just LGA you would not say the say. If my language sounds like yours it doesn't make me you or you me. It has been scientifically proven that we are not Igbos and Igbos are not Ikwerre.
Let me further educate you. Your way of life may have similarities with your brother but that doesn't make you your brother or your brother you. You people are related no doubt.
On Umu to Rumu, Bros when this argument comes out you people are descaling an about to be healed wound. Your people cane to a place that is not theirs and started to change names of Ikwerre settlement. Those of us in Ph and Obio Akpor call children Rumu. Those in Ikwerre and Emuoha have different names for it. Some call Omu like in Aluu. You might have heard about Omuoko. Some call Oma. You might have heard of Omadema. Some call Emu. You might have heard of Emuoha. Some call Rnu. You might have heard of Rundele. That is how it is. But the Igbos came and forcefully started to change names. Bros until the Igbos apologize to us the Ikwerre people we will always nurse this bitterness and resentment. I have a lot of igbo friends but it is based on personal character.
If we change name did we also change language?
The Ikwerre people were in the national assembly before the war and even at the height of igbo domination of Nigeria to make a case that we are not Igbos.
Please check this out.
Remember we are brothers Ikwerre man won't contend this but we are not Igbos just as Igbos are not Ikwerre people.

You make me laugh. How can you say someone came to your land and forcefully change your names... Why didn't they do same to Akwa ibom state that they are very closer to or to Cross River or to Bayelsa but only to a tiny Ikwerres.. why didn't they do that to the ijaws?
your case is like a certain group in yoruba land that own Lagos saying it not Yoruba . How foolish

You guys are beating chest because your useless governors are the people sponsoring ipob terrorists. If you try rubbish in rivers state you will see fire.

NikAustine:
Abeg how is he lying cause I read something like that.

It's pure lie and fabrication what you read. If you understand Ikwerre language, you'll see that it is reflected in the way their towns and villages are named. Claiming that 'Umu' was changed to 'Rumu' after the war, does it mean that their language did not exist until after the war? What Igbos call 'umu' some Ikwerre dialects call 'Rumu' and some call it 'Omu' So don't believe every bs people post based on the figment of their imagination and outright lies.

Tiny Ikwerre against giant Igbo you have said it all.
It's ok.
The man who envies the oneness of Ikwerre man.

Busyguy:


Am trying hard to understand this whole forceful adorption of the Ikwerre people by the igbos. It is obviously not born out of genuine love because an average Igbo man can never love u if he has nothing to gain atleast the world knows that and the Ikwerre also are aware of their ulterior motives. Very selfish and wicked people. The don't even love their selves.

It is not because they love Ikwerre as most of them feed their children with diets of hatred for Ikwerre people.
They think the mantra of 'Ikwerre is Igbo' gives them the right to include Ikwerre and other minority ethnic groups in their Biafra whether they accept it or not and it is purely for economic reason and Igbo unity.

The Igbos even have deep hatred among themselves and their Biafra will self destruct just as quickly as it is formed due to infighting among themselves so the only way they can form that false unity is if they have other tribes they would see as 'not real Igbos' and a common enemy. The Igbos unite only when they have a common enemy.

Envy which oneness ? For your info, I'm from Akwa ibom so I don't care about your shit or goose with Igbos. All I want to know is how a certain Igbo group change your names, culture etc but didn't change your neighbors own.. neighbors like the ijaw, Akwa ibom Cross River. Is it that the Ikwerres are weak people? Cowards? That's why a certain set of Igbos( ARO) will come and change everything names of places and names of people including your Benin language and culture but they couldn't change the ijaws, the ibibios etc

Ok, but it is said you guys changed it after the war to avoid associating with the Igbos and cause of oil. You didn't want the Igbos to share in your oil money ...
But it doesn't matter because apart from. Ikwerres they are still alot of Igbo subgroups In Rivers as it in delta

We in Akwa ibon don't if their are any people in Akwa ibom that do. It is less than 10% so it insignificant

Nobody changed anything rather it was the old Igbo controlled regional government that tried to change some names to sound more Igbo which led to the 'Rumuomasi declaration of 1965' (before the war) where the Ikwerres met to assert their independent identity. If you agree with me that the Ikwerre languange did not evolve after the war, then it confirms the fact that what you read about 'they changed their names after the war' is complete fabrication and it follows that every other thing said is not true.

Let assume ESN is flushed out, who'll protect the villagers from the slaughtering power of the fulani herdsmen like they did in Nibo Enugu State and Ebonyi state of recent?

Tell me one difference between Igbo ESN and Fulani herdsmen?

chiedozie198100:


If u live in PH you'll know how much hatred an average ikwerre person has towards igbos.

It's ALWAYS vice versa, Bro

gawu1:

Tell me one difference between Igbo ESN and Fulani herdsmen?

Fulani herdsmen killed farmers and villagers in their ancestral land at night. In the morning the government will come and pay lip service with no arrest and persecution. The youths whose parents are maim, raped and killed formed a security network to protect their parents farmland and ancestral land. The government that can't protect their parents came with show of force and said No. YOU MUST NOT PROTECT YOURSELF.
The youths resist and the government forces start shooting them. They decide to arm themselves to protect themselves from AK 47 wielding fulani herdsmen and the Nigeria security forces.

The media changed the narrative to calling them terrorists. Before things could died down fulani herdsmen murdered 100s in Ebonyi State.

How do you feel with the latest killing in Ebonyi state?

ThumbzTNA:

I like the Stance Wike is talking against Igbo. It will make the eyes those Igbo people that like begging Ikwerrre to accept the Igbo tag to clear.
Ikwerre is not Igbo. They hate other Igbos and we should become as agressive towards them as they have been to us

Gbam.

When people talk they forget themselves. Do you know that Akwa IIbom population is more than the whole Fulanis population?
But they don't rule only Akwa ibom they also rule other Nigerians. Can I conclude that Akwa Ibom people are week and coward?

I don't understand why he did that tho, he could have just made his point using ibibios as a case study instead.
As for Wike, Wike need to chill.

thank God you said the Fulanis are only ruling Nigeria, not Cameroon that is close by to..

My Question remains how did the Igbos change your language, names, cultures and yet couldn't change those people that are even much closer to them than you.
look at Akwa ibom, Rivers, Ijaw etc. how come? even in Anambra where they re igala peeps ..those people still retain their language and identity.. but your weak Ikwerres was subdued by mere Around warriors...what an embarrassment

But not only the Ikwerres were in the Eastern region that was control by the Igbo, there is Akwa ibom etc.. but yet, we still see that we retain everything from our languages etc.
But I want to ask a question..
Won't you really accept that the Igbos are part of Ikwerres?.. I agree that you guys might have origin from the benins but we can also see that not all Ikwerres originated from the benins. there were Igbos to who migrated from the East down to Ikwerreland ... if that is true then the Igbos aren't wrong in laying claims too.
it like this for eg..
There is a land x
Man A comes from Benin and Settle in the land
man B comes from the East and also settle in same land.
man A and Man B intermarried together and that's how Ikwerres came about..

So you're right to say you're from Benin and others are right to say you're igbo if we go by that theory.
but my Question remains, how did the Man A lose his language from Benin and adopted the Igbo language, names etc.. Ikwerres bear Chibuzor, Emeka, Odili, Chindindu etc and so does Igbos.
so how then can Man B have influence man A so much to that extend?

I hope you understand me?
Sorry about the English anyways
