What for?

Whalis:
Can you see how pained you are? That is how I feel whenever you associate me with Igbo tag. Igbo is a big ethnic group and the tendency of annexing other related group is there. That is what we everyday want to let people know that despite our similarities that we differ. I can't answer your father's name because we look alike. Your father told you who you are just as my father told me. Ikwerre man only in language has some similarities with the Igbos but in every other way we are dissimilar. We don't travel you travel. We are content with what we have you are insatiable with your achievements.

Thormentor:
lagosians are already trying to distance themselves from them


do you notice none of them like identifying with thier states of Origin

all of them are lagosians online till they deported few Osun miscreants

Esama:
Any igbo that will abuse great oba of Benin will not die well. Because our forefathers enslave you people.

PHIPEX:
Anyone can claim anything but we are learned for a reason.

It's not by force to be Igbo and no one is begging anyone but don't revise history.

Oba of Benin who is the custodian of Benin history is saying Ikwere has no Benin linkage as the Ikwerre revisionists want to claim. He says Ikwerre are Igbos. We know what oil politics has done to Ikwerre people

Dalohad:
Mr Ikwerre, number one, I am yoruba.

You cannot be answering Elechi, and Amadi and be claiming another tribe's name.

Ibos have the right to call you out. Because when you commit crimes while bearing their names, they get the blame. We yorubas know you are all Omo Ibos.

The Solution: Since we agree with you that you are Bini, you will have to delinguinize and de-acculturate yourselve of the Ibo/Ibiod languages and names.

You can then re-linguinize yourselves with Bini names of your ancestors, for proper identification.

Said what when and where?
Can you name the Oba and tell us exactly what he said and where?
Why are you people so fond of lies

Ikwerre matter... Confirmed by the OBA of Benin.

Yoruba Analysis... based on tribal hate and generational foolishness is on display on this thread.

Same Yoruba don't have an OBA in ILORIN..

These people sef... Na wa..

You tell us please
You can only deceive illiterate folk like you

Whalis:
I am Ikwerre. There is no historical tie between the ikwerres and Igbos. My grandma was from Umuahia and said Igbos have always been a distinct ethnic from Ikwerres. That they called us NDI Ikwerre.
On the Bini connection it is hard for me to agree. But the closeness here is that the ikwerres have a lot in common with the Ekpeye. And the Ekpeye has a lot in common with the Binis. Now the Ekpeye claims they left Bini with the Iwhurnohna (Ikwerre) People. This is where the ikwerres keyed into the Benin narrative.
The Ikwerres have always said they are not Igbos. Ikwerres had Ogbakor Ikwerre in 1963 to identify themselves as a distinct ethnic group even before Igbos remembered to form Ohaneze Ndigbo in 1965. Ikwerre gathered in 1965 to declare their unique identity in a communique released in Rumuomasi even years before the civil war.

BiafIntel:
Some of you are so daft and dumb. You just displayed the dumbness inherited from your so called grand mother. A grown up like you can't reason for yourself, but is basing your nonsense argument on what an illiterate grand mother told you. Have you ot heard of Ndi Anambra, Ndi Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu Abia and so on? Have you not heard Onitsha people calling other Igbos nwa onye Igbo? Does that make Onitsha people none Igbos? Some of you are very very slow.

Gajagojo:
OBA OF BENIN SAID


The Oba of Benin said his visit was aimed at strengthening friendly and close relationships between the people.

“I am here to strengthen the friendly relationship and close affinity of our people. History has it that some of the tribes here trace their ancestry to Benin. These include the Ikwerres, the people of Ahoada and Omoku,’’ he said.

PHIPEX:
What does "Ikwerre and Etche being the typical Igbo..." mean in simple English?

Whalis:
The barbaric nature of Igbos is one turn off for every ethnic group in Nigeria. You can differ with me without sounding insultive.
I am Ikwerre. I have no problem if you want to be ikwerre. But for sure ikwerre is not Igbo. Look at typical example of Ikwerre men like Wike does he have anything in common with am Igbo person? None.

Gajagojo:
I have shown evidence and a source for what I showed

I don't know where you got that crap from
So give a citation that is if you know the meaning of the word

tishbite42:
I don't blame
The Igbos are still extending hands to them and that's they are misbehaving

PHIPEX:
Go and tell Oba of Benin that he wrote crap in his own book. I wonder which other citation you need. I doubt you even know who the Oba himself is

Gajagojo:
Eze Aro dynasty established by Nnubi brothers

They were Akamkpa and rule Aro till this day

Whalis:
Can you answer this?
How did you know that you are Igbo?
Did someone from Abia come to tell you?
Now I say Bia and I say I am Ikwerre and you say Bia and you say you are Igbo. Is it wise I say since you say the same Bia with me that you are ikwerre? Don't you think Igbos are Ikwerres? Americans (US) were originally from Europe especially The UK. Today US is bigger the UK. If this had happened in the prehistoric times it would have been difficult to believe that US left the UK based on their present size and achievements.
Scientific studies have been carried out in Uniport even by Igbos scientists that established that Ikwerres and Igbos are distinct people. Please check this it is online. The scientists who carried out this studies are Igbos.
Language similarities do not happen only in Igbo and others. It is so in other peoples all over the world. Ukraine and Poland, Sweden and Norway, Finland and Denmark; Urhobo and Isoko, Yoruba and Itsekiri similar language different people.
Igbos should learn how to live with this reality.
Also tell me the Igbo word for Yes.
