The rest of Nigeria are complaining about the Igbos but when the Igbos left, they killed millions to force them into Nigeria.

You gonna have to deal with the Igbos!

MrEverest:
The Fulanis that have grabbed your lands physically and sodomized your people, do you mention them?

How many lands have Igbos dragged anywhere in Nigeria? All the mansions and plazas Igbos built around Nigeria, they bought all with their money.

Stop envying people that are far greater than whatever inconsequential and unknown ethnicity you come from😂

Kudos to the Lord of Warri for putting them in their place. That's how they start, and before you know it, majority of them would calling Warri igboland, and throw in a bit of victimization into how the land was stolen from them by the Urhobo and Itsekiri..

MrEverest:
The other one claiming Ikwere on twitter has been busted, Tinubu the useless drug lord has resurrected another fake person to continue pushing his bigotry. The useless drug lord knows he has failed Nigerians and needs something to distract them with😂

opamoses1:
And the Fulani are also taken your own lands sotey your women dey protest about rape and other oppression of the fulanis. Same as the Igalas in Enugu and Ebonyi that are still occupying your lands till date.

opamoses1:
If Ojukwu had taken ONLY his Igbo people out of Nigeria, nobody would have cared.

opamoses1:
Of course, you call everyone speaking against Igbo bad behaviours BATist or agbado or ronu. Na your way. Even to an average Igbo on social media, this lord of Warri is agbado..

Even when you liberated the so-called minorities, did you leave Igbos to go? Absolutely not

MrEverest:
Igbos are by far the greatest ethnic group to come out of Nigeria. They’re so influential to the extent that any idio.t that wants to trend must find a way to mention Igbos, otherwise he or she will remain in obscurity.

Any foreigner who comes to Nigeria’s cyberspace will immediately assume that Nigeria has only two groups that is Igbos and others.

Kudos to Igbos, it’s not easy to be a great people!!!

Another failed land grabbing attempt by the usual suspects

jmoore:
Reno Omonkey have babablued but no Igbo man wrote an open letter to itsekiri.


Respond to the individual(s), not their ethnic group. 99.9% of Igbo people do not even know what trended in that small space of yours.


If I dey bush dey poo and that letter dey around in paper, I go use am clean my nyash.

PaellaPaella:
Everybody want to associate with the great Igbos, nobody even know yoruba outside Nigeria, No Nigeria without the Igbos

MrEverest:
Nigeria is said to have 280 ethnic groups yet it’s only Igbos we keep hearing everyday. What happened to the other 279? Are they all so inconsequential that no one remembers them?

Great Igbos!!!

paramakina202:

An Open Letter to the Igbo People

Dear Igbo People,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I must admit that I was initially hesitant to address some of the tweets circulating lately, but it seems that this trend is only growing stronger. I write to you today to kindly request that you call some of your people to order. I genuinely fail to comprehend the purpose behind this new trend. Allow me to emphasize that we have no issues with you. However, it is crucial that we refrain from encroaching upon our history and territories. Such actions will neither be tolerated nor accepted.

I implore you, in the name of the goodness that we, the Itsekiri people, displayed during your times of dire need, to reconsider your campaign to rewrite our history.

During the Nigerian civil war, we put our lives on the line to protect your women and children in our lands. It was a selfless act of humanity, driven by compassion and the understanding that we are all part of a larger Nigeria. We beseech you, in the name of God, to cease this campaign and allow the truth to prevail.

Let me reiterate that we harbor no ill will towards you, and we hold you in high regard. We expect nothing less than the same level of respect in return.

It is essential to clarify that we do not share a single drop of ancestry with the Igbo people. I am perplexed as to the origin of these claims. For instance, claiming that the father of Nigeria's first finance minister was Igbo is a highly misleading and inaccurate statement. For the sake of accuracy and factual correctness, it's important to clarify that the father of Nigeria's first finance minister, Prince Okotie-Eboh, was not Igbo. His family, from Bateren and Jakpa, is actually part of the Itsekiri royal house.

Iwere, which is the original and native name for Warri, is not an Igbo word. It is, in fact, a Yoruba word, and we, the Itsekiri people, are a Yoruboid group. There are various places called Iwere in Yorubaland.

It is important to note that the Portuguese referred to us as Owere, but it does not mean that we are connected to Owerri in Igbo land. In truth, the Portuguese and other Europeans struggled to pronounce Iwere, resulting in various renditions such as Owere, Owhere, Oere, ouary, Awerri, ouwerre, Owhyere, Werre, Ware, Warree, Wari, and finally, Warri. Maps exist to testify to this fact.

Allow me to dispel any misconceptions: we are not an Igbo sub-group, nor do we have any affiliation with the Igbo people. The Itsekiri people are a Yoruba sub-group. The tribes that formed the Itsekiri community originated from Yorubaland, and the Igala-Nupe, the last to join, did so after the formation of the Itsekiri language.

The Bini people are the ones who came after the formation of the Itsekiri language. Prior to that, our ethnic name was Olukumi], which was also the name of some Yoruba groups at the time.

Our connection with the Igbo people only began during the civil war when they sought refuge in our villages and islands. We provided care and protection, shielding them from harm. Some of our parents and grandparents, who were the heroes of that time, are still alive today. Even some Igbo residents living in Warri can testify to the invaluable assistance rendered by the Itsekiri people.

I must clarify that there is no place called Okpara Waterside in Warri or any other Itsekiri lands. To the best of my knowledge, Okpara Waterside is a community in Urhobo land, specifically in the Ethiope East local government area of Delta State, not in Warri.

Furthermore, the name Ogbe is an Itsekiri word for quarter or compound. Its meaning can vary within the Itsekiri language. For instance, Ogbe-Ijaw means Ijaw quarter or Ijaw compound in Itsekiri. It is essential to note that Ogbe is not an Igbo word.

Similarly, the name Forcados is not of Igbo origin; it is a Portuguese word. Forcados holds no meaning whatsoever in any Nigerian language.

christistruth01:
Look at this Video Carefully, this was the aftermath of Ojukwu's invasion of Ore in the Western Region

At 52 Seconds you can see the decomposing bodies of 2 Civilians on top of each other
That was the Handwork of Ojukwu's Army that Slaughtered all the non Igbos between Ore in the Western Region and Agbor during their Withdrawal back to the East

The Biafran Army reached Agbor again and Slaughtered every Non Igbo they could find in Agbor

Now was Ore Part of Biafra?
What was Ojukwu's Army doing Slaughtering Civilians in the Western and Midwestern Regions?

If everyone is your enemy, you also need to check yourself.
