Hehehehehe.....tgis is the contradiction i was telling paraman: in one brearh you are saying 90% ikwerres know they are igbo and (by inference) the remaining 10% are only playing the ostrich (ie lying), In the same breath u are telling me your village ppl that u can choose when to claim igbos and whrn to deny ur 'igbohood'.

Paraman, over to u!

No ikwerre man will ever claim to be an Igbo man

Ikwerre is an ethnic group in Nigeria just like Igbo
My friend shut up, am from Ikwere, we are Igbos actually and we know that derp down our hearts, we only deny that for some reasons but in actuality we are Igbos.
I can not be besting Emeka and my surname Eke and I cliam am not Igbo, when I travel to the north, my closest brothers I relate with are Igbos and not Yorubas
So Yorubas should learn to mind your businesses and face what faces you hatefull and envious souls.

I’ve never in my life seen this kind of forceful association

Despite bearing similar names and speaking a similar language, Yorubas have never insisted that Itshekiris are Yoruba. The Itshekiris have always said they are a Yoruboid group and we know that from history

Why do these people keep forcing

IKWERRE CAME FROM IMO STATE.


THAT IS WHERE YOU FIND THE CONNECTION AND THEIR TAIL END IN OHAJI EGBEMA.


OBIIGBO ARE FROM ABIA STATE, THE OTHER HALF OF THEM ARE IN ABIA STATE.
Don't mind the Yoruba bigots, the actual history is clear just tha our elders in their own wisdom did what they did but in actual sense we are Igbos by origin, thats just the plain truth
When wike was campaigning for pdp ticket he came to Imo speaking flawless Igbo claiming to be Igbo, Amaeachi did the same.
The Ijaws call us Igbos, so who is saying otherwise.. Go to etche where my younger sister was married, they are the custodian of Amadioha the Chief dety and god of the ancient Igbo race.
So it's synanimiius to tell me that the Sango diety at Oyo but not in Ile ife for that the Oyo people are no longer Yorubas.

If two out of hundred people say they are something, do they speak for the rest or are they in the majority?

THE NUMBER OF ETHNIC GROUPS IN NIGERIA WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE FROM OVER 300 TO 50.

A MAN WITH PENIS WILL COME OUT AND TELL US HE IS A GIRL AND WE ACCEPT.



A MAN CALLED OKACHIKWU DIBIA WILL TELL YOU HE IS NOT IGBO AND YOU ACCEPT.

End of story.

I'm neither igbo nor ikwerre, but those who know, know that ikwerre and and igbos are like '6 and half a dozen'.

Its just like an ekiti man or ijeshaman or aworiman saying he's not yoruba. Very ludicrous

Igbos and Ikwerres are not one people.

That's why this Ikwerre group dey clear you igbos.

When igbos wanted to hold an Igbo program in PH, the ikwerres stopped your people from holding the program on Ikwerre land because Ikwerres are not igbos.

To be honest here!
Ikwerre Igbo denial is actualy political not cultural.
Biafra/IPOB is the major reason why Ikwerre want to distance themselves from the Igbo block at all cost.They don't want IPOB operating in their territory and don't want to associate with anything that will link them to Biafra.

Who's is ikwere and who's not Ikwere is the main question.



Anyway I don't give a fuvk about what anyone thinks.


Igbos are not looking for members, we're complete.
But we won't used because of fews noise makers to stop relating with our people who are proud of their Igboness

If you say you are Igbo you're Igbo, if you say you are not,then you are not.



My only point is those that are not Igbos among them Should change their names or at least corrupt it in away it will have no more meaning in Igbo.
Shut up Igbo can't never succeed without Nigerians even in your Biafra.
Re: We Aren’t Igbo, Rivers Ikwerre People Reply Ohanaeze by DMerciful(m): 5:05pm On May 06, 2024
Even in Asaba, we celebrate Igbo day. Ikwerres are Igbos unless they do a referendum to show the majority do not wanna be identified as Igbos.

They may choose to be identified with whatever they like but they're igbos nonetheless. Its like Egyptians saying they're not Africans.

The whole world cannot agree that 2+2=5, you cannot agree for a truth to change.

E be luke say u nor know say our blodas from d 'rising planet' get serious problem.

It is this same ppl tgat will say a part of them are 'nwafor' and another 'ösu', despite the fact that they are from the same state.
Thia same ppl consider those from abakaliki (ebonyi) as 'inferior igb*s).

Yet when push comes to shove you will hear ''blood is thicker than water". That 'nwafor igbo' will join forces with his 'ösu/inferior' brethren. They may bicker and quarrel - bcus its inherent in their DNA - but deep down in their hearts they know they are one.
