Chinedu, Mr Wike is not Igbo. He is Ikwere. No go talk this one for Rivers oo. You won't come back alive. Ikwere people hate Igbo. They hate to be associated with Igbo.

Looks like we are not on the same plane.
Ofcourse not, imagine the audacity of denying established facts because of inferiority complex and fear of losing out from your pay masters up North. Like I said as long you feel better, keep being in denial 😆 🤣 😂

Means Olusegun Obasanjo with a Yoruba name can be an Igbo man.
Obasanjo is an Igbo man. He is a Prince from Anambra State.

AN IGBO MAN IS THE FCT MINISTER, for the first time in Nigerian history.

HIS NAME IS ONYESOM NWIKE.

(Which he shortened to 'Nyesom Wike' for reasons best known to him)

You cannot have an Igbo name if you're not an Igbo man.


So CONGRATS, Mr ONYESOM NWIKE, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Federal Republic of Nigeria.

I'm not Igbo, or Yoruba , or Hausa, and not in APC, or PDP, or LP.

My interest in the whole Ikwerre-Igbo thing started in the late 1990's after reading Elechi Amadi's 'Sunset in Biafra' (which gives one the bare bones of the whole argument' )and augumented by reading a lot of material online.(There are a lot of articles debating the matter.)

Also, it is kind of a common phenonenom all over Nigeria. There are a lot of tribes who like the Ikwerres are culutrally like the big tribe but not the same people eg The Ekiti people (who have a distinct language), numerous groups in the far North, the Ogori people , the Ika Igbos (Nzeogwu's people) and so forth.

Tis a fascinating topic.

Wike himself has denied being Igbo. There are some Ikwerre who think otherwise and identify as Igbo.

Wike and Amaechi woundnt have enjoyed the trust of the Northern Oligarchs and the likes of Tinubu if they had exhibited strong advocate and alliance for Igbo interest, don't act like you don't know what's going on, Biafra was a painful part of Igbo history and some groups felt they were unjustly treated, hence the cold feet and efforts to dissociate. Igbos are ubitiquos anyway, resilient and will forge forward even in the face of adversities, denied or acknowledged. It's like an African American denying his African ancestry 😆 🤣 😂

Who ask you for this lame explanation.
We all know how much you Igbo hated Wile for dealing with Ipob in his state n his support for Tinubu. You are now wailing like a clown.

Is you Igbo hate for Wike over ?


richie240:
Bro, let's not deceive ourselves biko.
When you hear "Nyesom wike" what does it sound like? A hausa name, yoruba or igbo name?

Can we say a Bishop Oyedepo of kwara or a smart adeyemi of kogi are not Yorubas because they belong to north central region?
Let's not join some of d confused/ ultra-bigotic soutteasterners in their mind games.

Wike himself said he's not IGBO. Ikwerre said they're not Igbo, how is that the fault of the South East??

So Rotimi Amaechi is half Yoruba half Igbo continue.
Even Amaechi sef didn't deny his igboness.
Don't let these clowns use our heads.
When it favors them they claim Igbo, if not they renounce their igboness.

Even the same Amaechi will claim he's ikwerre (and NOT IGBO) today and claim Igbo tmr:
cool

Mods do the needful !

This whole idea that an Igbo man named ONYESOM NWIKE can just wake up one morning and remove the first letter from his name and surname, and declare himself to be non Igbo is absolutely crazy.

I’ve never seen anything like it.

May I say that wisdom is far you or knowledge?
So if me as an Hausa man bear a name Olakunle Hazan, does it means that I am a Yoruba?


Poor faculty is worried you.

Wike told you he is not Igbo and the Igbos are telling you the same but here you are arguing.


So unfortunate !

Who is your father in Alaigbo for you to say Wike is not Igbo?

If Ojo Maduekwe could be Igbo, Onyesom Nwike is Igbo. Deal with it.

Umunnamu!
Wike is a great Ibo man.
He has made a decision on his own
That he is not an Igbo and we must respect that.
Even you can decide to disown ur father.
Wike is not better than any Igbo
So nothing special about him.

When did Wike become Igbo ?
You are triggered. You’ve been on Nairaland far too long and educated enough to identify sarcasm when you see one.

Op is mischievous and you know that. Just like former army chief Irabor…when Igbos complain of certain positions, they’ll be reminded that one of them had been in that position not long ago.

Wike is Ikwerre from Benin. Wike was Oba Ovoramwen Nogbaisi great grand son. You get it….but to the Yoruba mozlems, he is an Ikwerre man now about to officiate the affairs of FCT. When his bulldozers start demolishing buildings, he will become an Igbo man.

You are only being silly. I’m not sure if you get any benefit from Seun to promote this sort of thread. You know there are stupidly ignorant and radical posters who’d agree with you and then there are mischief makers like you from the west side who’d support nonsense for the fun of it.
