seguno2:It takes a bloody liar to know another one. In my earlier comment I said I love the the diverse cultures in Africa of you hurriedly quoted by saying the bicycles they used were they manufactured in Africa? I then in turn asked you should I hate the culture because they used bicycles that were not made in Africa. Read well and don't be in a hurry to call names. |

AbiaNextGoverno: Most of you are just ignorant and plain stupi. d You claim to be widely traveled but all you achieve with your travel is to spread hatred and advertise ingrained stupi. dity because you do not learn anything. What makes any outfit Igbo outfit? Who defines what is Igbo outfit or not? When and where did Igbo invent such outfit? Ikwerre man wears clothes or cap that even the hausas and non Nigerians wear it becomes Igbo outfit or attire. Ikwerre man eats food it becomes Igbo food. Ikwerre man dance, it becomes Igbo dance. Ikwerre man drink water it becomes Igbo water. It's unfortunate that people like you make up a huge chunk of the population in Igboland. Really sad. 1 Like 1 Share |

brainycaleb:Bros Igbos too like Ikwerres. We like them as well as brothers. But one thing we vehemently disagree is that one is under the other. It has not been before it can't be now. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ikwerre is not Igbo. I wonder why people will be constituting nuisance on another person's ethnic nationality. Ikwerre is Ikwerre and an ethnic nationality... Words and languages are totally different in Igbo and Ikwerre. For instance Amaechi in Igbo means who knows tomorrow. Amaechi in Ikwerre I gathered means My father's compound. Also we have words that may look alike but totally different meanings for instance Chinwe is an Igbo word meaning God get , In Ikwerre there is chinwo meaning God son. Amadi in Imo state is totally different in meaning with Amadi in Rivers state. There is also enyinnia or enyinnaya an Igbo word meaning father's friend, I learnt Ikwerre have something like Enyinda meaning My father's heart. Now Obinna in Igbo means my father's heart. Numerous cases like this abounds and people out of ignorance now thinks both names have same meaning not knowing each means an entirely different thing. So Ikwerre and Igbo are not same even the language because both having same words are entirely of different meaning. Let's be guided. 1 Like 1 Share |

chrisxxx: Exactly Ikwerres are not Igbos.... Words may look same but totally different meanings. Many are totally Ignorant. I took my time to explain these stuffs to them in one thread like that wayback. I don't know why people still insist on been ignorant of things they know nothing about. Ikwerre is not Igbo. I wonder why people will be constituting nuisance on another person's ethnic nationality. Ikwerre is Ikwerre and an ethnic nationality... Words and languages are totally different in Igbo and Ikwerre. For instance Amaechi in Igbo means who knows tomorrow. Amaechi in Ikwerre I gathered means My father's compound.

MelesZenawi:Thanks brotherly. It was Nnamdi Kanu that came up with the campaign. Many Igbos before now knew the demarcation between them and the Ikwerres. Ikwerre is a complete different ethnic group. When my grandmother was alive, she was from Umuahia, I asked her if there was ever a time the Ikwerres were considered as Igbos she said no. That they usually called Onyi Ikwerre. How Nnamdi Kanu came up with this idea and many Igbos bought over it is one fallacy too many. He told them Port Harcourt was Igweocha Igbos town they believe. I have never seen things like this Those Ikwerre people who declared the Rumuomasi Declaration in 1965 deserved monuments. Nnamdi Kanu told them that Ikwerre people denied being Igbo after the war whereas in 1965 when Ikwerre people had everything to benefit with Igbo identity they gathered to declare their Unique identity and ethnic group. Spain and Portugal have similar words but different people. Same with Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. This is also seen with Malaysia and Indonesia. Igbos are one of the most traveled and educated tribes not only in Nigeria but the word how they could look up to Nnamdi Kanu for directions defied every human reasoning faculty. |

chrisxxx: For me, Igbo is Igbo. Wether from Delta, Rivers, Ebonyi or even Arochukwu, all I see is Igbo. But having Igbos from a particular location verbally denying their heritage whilst being proved otherwise by their action is outright Hypocrisy! For me, I'm just an Igbo man. Just check their cultural attire for example, it's not 3ven modified in any way! A typical Igbo attire. 1 Like |

chrisxxx: See the way u decided to turn history upside down. Was Port Harcourt the original name? Which smelling ikwerre declaration of 1965? R u sure ur grandma wasn't suffering from Alzheimer's when she answered your question? |
Re: Photos From Isiokpo Bicycle Carnival, Rivers State by chrisxxx(m): 6:13am On Jan 03, 2022 |
chiedozie198100:I will answer you. Of course you guys resort to wanton barrage of insults and abuses when pinned to the ground with undeniable evidences. Port Harcourt was not the original name of the area. It was named Port Harcourt after the Governor-General then. It was a beautiful place, a place where there was paved road and electricity. The first of its kind then white several white people living there. This made the Igbo labourers to nickname the place Igweocha. Literally meaning the Heaven of White man or a beautiful place or a white man land. The place so called Igweocha then didn't include the inhabited Rebisi and Diobu area of the Ikwerre people. It was a virgin land acquired then that the white man developed to be a beautiful place. There was about 5 kilometers gap then between the Port (Port Harcourt) and the nearest Ikwerre settlement. But today the gap has all been developed even making areas that were not initially part of Port Harcourt being called Port Harcourt even up to Oyigbo, Obio Akpor LGA, even some part of Ikwerre LGA. I can't teach you to comprehension unfortunately since Nnamdi Kanu has exchanged your limited scanty brain with elephant poo. Portuguese named Eko Lagos is Lagos a Portuguese City? My grand mother was old even at that age reasoned more clearly than someone at your age suffering from premature Alzheimer syndrome and covetousness. Park well bro. |

chrisxxx: Isn't it amazing, that your ikwerre land was name igweocha by igbos? U ikwerres couldn't name ur own land igweocha, abi? N u ikwerres were still sucking ur thumb when igbos came and named all ur villages with "umu" surfix.(n please tell me what "rumu" means in ikwerre). The funny thing is even ikwerres still refer to Port Harcourt as igweocha in their dialect. So please miss me with ur pseudo-intellectual bullshit history. By the way Port Harcourt was name after a documented British pedophile. 1 Like |

chiedozie198100: Igbos did not name portharcourt but nicknamed it Igwuocha like they nicknamed the North Igwuausa so why are you guys not claiming Kano or Kaduna as you claim Portharcourt. Igweocha was never the official or native name for Portharcourt. |
