So in the other thread of similar name, someone said Ikwerres are not Igbo and buttressed it with some differences in the central Igbo language and Ikwerre language. I decided to compare the numbers 1 to 10 in with central Igbo and Ikwerre language 1 to 10 in Igbo and Ikwerre 1 = Otu(Igbo), Otu(Ikwerre) 2 = Abuo(Igbo), Ebo(Ikwerre) 3 = Ato(Igbo), Eto(Ikwerre) 4 = Ano(Igbo), Eno(Ikwerre 5 = Ise(Igbo), Ise(Ikwerre) 6 = Isii or Ishii(Igbo), Isiinu or Ishiinu(Ikwerre) 7 = Asaa(Igbo), Esaawu(Ikwerre) 8 = Asato(Igbo), Esato(Ikwerre) 9 = Itolu(Igbo), Tolu(Ikwerre) 10 = Iri(Igbo), Ri(Ikwerre) Any similarities? 5 Likes |

duro4chang:Educated mind has spoken. Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland speak same language but different people. Malaysia and Indonesia same language but different people. Poland and Ukraine similar language but different people. Urhobo and Isoko similar language different people. Bini and Yoruba similar language but different people. The Ikwerres don't have any problem with Igbos saying they are Ikwerres. However the Ikwerres vehemently deny they are igbos. 6 Likes 1 Share |

I think this issue of ikwerres been Igbo or not has been settled, So why bringing it again  Nigeria government should do needful and conduct a referendum, Nobody is forcing any body to be or not to. Igbo is our closet neighbor, not ijaw or Yoruba, our great ground mother's, Ground mothers, mother's Wife's are all igbos so allow the ikwerres to be for now. |

Don't waste ur time op the whole denials is deeply rooted in nigeria's politics the calculation is for ikweres to have their own separate identity so that the nigerian state won't persecute and marginalize them just like they are currently doing to their brothers in the five eastern states. Umahi of ebonyi is also trying to mobilize his people to take this same route. 2 Likes |

No Igbo outside of this cannibal map. Follow the science of cultural anthropology. It is no an easy decision for a culture decide to chop human beings. Those who clearly chose not to do so obviously are not Igbo. 1 Like 2 Shares

gartamanta:Language does not define a people Linguistics is totally distinct to genetics or origin French Spanish Italian un uno uno deux dos due trois tres tre quart cuatro quattro cinq cinco cinque six seis sei sept siete sette huit ocho otto neuf nueve nove dix diez dieci Even among those groups who agree they are Igbo they are of different origins and do not claim a single ancestor Ikwerre and Igbo are languages that belong to the same family of Languages just like French and Italian so there will be similarities There are many words in Igbo that look or sound like Yoruba words.

spearman:Stop decieving yourself, Niger Delta contains Imo and Abia States including farther states like Edo and Cross River States, and can never stand as one nation for obvious reasons. For you to believe that Delta Igbos will rather go with Uhrobo, Ijaw and Itshekiri instead of fellow Igbos in SE shows how ignorant you are. As for ikwerre, they can be whoever they want or even go to hell, we Igbos don't give a damn about them. They're only using our identity to gain relevance in Rivers State and by the time we realign with our Obigbo, Egbema and other Igbos of Rivers State, the ikwerres will be left with their 2 & half local governments and that's when Ijaws will turn them to slaves. 1 Like |

Ojukwu invaded the Midwest with the full powers of a war dictator but even he had the good sence to leave Anioma out of the Midwest. When he finally annoced the shorth live Republic of Benin, he left Anioma in the Midwest. 3. Anioma people no dey chop human beings. 1 Like 1 Share
