But the say Uzo(road),Ada(First daughter),omugwo(taking care of the infant),ejima(twins),Chineke(God),Eze(King), Chioma(Good God),Ugwo(Debt),Uche(Mind), Ukwu(Waist)... And sell four market days just like those they deny because of the fear of annihilation by fulanis and Ijaws in the 60s and 70s.

Deny your forefathers for plate of porridge and reap the future as fools. Nobody is forcing you to be igbo but your kings who represent your cultural and traditional heritage still remain Ezes like everywhere in the Southeast and Delta.

Tell the fulanis and Ijaws your kings aren't Ezes anymore,they would even educate you better....

Ikwerre is not Igbo

Okay, I am from the moon. Does that make me a man from the moon? Would you accept such a claim without questioning my it or require me to produce a proof unless you are an slowpoke? Saying you are no Igbo or Yoruba or House does not change anything unless you have some tangible strong proofs to back it. The few Ikwerres that claim to come from Bini are yet to provide anything stronger than their Igboness to support their claims. So their claim is just nonsense.

You see how funny your argument look.

Sir that's their problem, you IGBO should stop attracting shame to IGBO trip

Let them them choose their identity for themselves

They're the one saying they're not IGBO, so are you saying they didn't know their history by themselves...?

The Fulani/Gabari people in ilorin can only speak one language which is YORUBA, will that now make them YORUBA...?

All because they speak YORUBA or because YORUBA is their official language...?

So that means we should only listen to and sing English songs?

I should not sing King sunny Ade and Seyi vibez songs because I am not Yoruba.

I should not sing all part of Phyno, Flavour N’abania songs since they use Igbo heavily in their songs and I am not Igbo.

I wonder the colour of your understanding.

The bolded is also applicable to you because, I know very well that If someone is not yoruba (by tribe) and can't speak Yoruba, there's no way such a person will sing Yoruba songs clearly and correctly.

If you are not Igbo and you equally don't know how to speak Igbo, there is no way you will sing phyno and flavour songs clearly and correctly. If you try it any Igbo person beside you can tell that you are not Igbo. The same thing is also applicable when a non Yoruba tries to sing Yoruba songs.

iLegendd:
If English is an official language, remember music/song is also an official sound to the mind — it doesn't matter the language. There are a lot of music you sing or dance to that you don't even know the language, but you love them.

I put it to you that you can only dance or hum to a music you don't know the language but you can't sing it clearly and correctly. Because, the kind of words used in the music is beyond your understanding.

But in this case, wikes wordings in those songs are very clear and correct no galloping.

Bia in your language means come.
I speak ikwerre some part of Ikwerre says Va for come others say Bia.
Since you as Igbo man also so Bia for come I consider you to be an ikwerre man.

I can only be a son to my father not the other way round.
My father is my father not my son.

Igbo is a tribe ikwerre is not.

Answer this question: America and Britain which one came first? Which language do they speak?

You wish. There are people who sing everything word for word just by the sound and someone who understands the language will say they got it right.

Also, I know you've never met someone who knows up to 3 languages let alone 10 languages, so I forgive you.

Igbo is an ethnic group made up of many tribes and Ikwerre is part of that

And so? the person should not sing again. because the lean witted formed reasons of yours?

You are not to be indulged. clearly, your intelligence and understanding is extremely dim.

Britain came first we all know that. But America is bigger today because of conquest and immigrants but such can't be said to Igbos.

Do you know that wike's hometown speaks Igbo as their dialect not as a borrowed language the way English is borrowed?

Don’t ever sing any song in English since it is not your language.

Mumu man, English is a borrowed language in every country created by the British and Nigeria is one of them.

Now, is Igbo language a borrowed language to ikwerres (wike's hometown) or is it their God's giving dialect?

Oya answer Mr Olodo

Thanks for this. Have you ever reasoned that Igbos might have migrated out of Ikwerre land?

Rest.

You must not try to force your lean witted ideologies on others.
You should do that with your group of people with same level of self-proclaimed intelligence not an Olodo like me.

Shalom!

What is your reason for wanting to turn the history upside down?
Do you know that Igbos were the first to settle in this geographical space known as Nigeria today?

Mr Olodo, don't tell me you are running away over a simple question

Do justice to the question I asked you na

Failed governors.. their own people rejected them.
Ikpeazu is the worst of them all.. ogogoro people.

Bulldozer90:
I thought he should be speaking Benin and not Igbo?
He thought he was in a drinking bar.

Unity beggar. The Ikwerres are a distinct tribe.

Those of them that claim they are not Igbo have the right to do that, but the rest of us have the right to reject that claim. You cannot claim to be a Chinese and expect sane people to accept. Anybody with one ounce of brain will ask for proof to support your claim. Yoruba is actually a Fulani word, so it is not the same situation.

Ethnicity is not something you can choose and drop whenever you like, you are born with it till you die. Ikwerre and Igbo are one single people, it does not depend on Nwike and few other of his kind to decide that based on political conveniences.

Mbanda:
Yes

What does it mean?

"onye ndi ebea...onye ndi ebea...onye ndi ebea...ala adi nma"... hahahaha! This man no just send anybody!!! Wike the wicked! 🤣

Obiedun:
You should have written in igbo instead of English . You people always play ethnicity on every issue

Oga he is not playing ethnicity. Wike here said he is not igbo, but clearly he is speaking igbo with a clear ndoki dialect. Not like a foreigner speaking igbo.

ZIAZI:
Go and drink enough water, it's good for you.

Wike can sing in whatever language and that's his prerogative.

Dry your tears and drink enough water.

Posting screenshot will not help you bro, this move is already stale.

Mbanda:
Ikwerre is not Igbo

Keep deceiving yourselves. Ikwerre are clearly igbos and it is sub dialect of igbo.

Mbanda:
There's no way you can speak Hausa if you are not Hausa unless you mixed up with the hausas. The same thing with every other language in Nigeria.

Now, in the case of wike speaking Igbo fluently do we say, it was as a result of him being Igbo by blood or he learnt Igbo by mixing up with igbos or he, has lived in Igbo land at some point of his life?

Oga Wike is speaking igbo with dialect. If you a foreigner lived with igbos you can never speak igbo with dialect, as igbo is a difficult language to learn. Definitely that dialect he is speaking is his mother tongue, Wike is 💯 igbo

Answer this question. Will you accept a child that DNA test has said he doesn't belong to you? Yes the child looks like you and speak your language.
See ikwerre has always said they are not Igbo before, during and after the war. That was why initially when it seemed like Biafra was winning the war they dealt with ikwerre people. A prove of this is Ikwerre people forming Ogbakor Ikwerre in 1963. Igbos formed Ohaneze Ndigbo in 1965. Ikwerre met in Rumuomasi in what is today known as Rumuomasi Declaration that are not Ijaw, Ogoni nor Igbos.
You are not Ikwerre as well as I am not Igbo.
No ikwerre man if note has ever accepted to be Igbo. We have Aros Descendents in Ikwerre land. They have no issue with Igbo identification which they truly are. Uche Okuku is an example.

You know I hate people that twist history to tell lies. Igbos didn't deal with Ikwerre it was saboteur they dealt with. I keep asking the Yorubas here if the Western region was at war and the itsekiri some of their renegades created passage through their waters or the ilaje have them passage through their waters into the Western region. Please will thier armies clap for them or will they do worse that what Biafran army did. Mind you so many Ikwerre served in Biafran army as well as ibibio, Efik and Annang people they all served in Biafran army. A chief example is the father of Later Herbert Wigwe, Shyngle Wigwe. He served in the Biafran army during the war.

Oga please just be silent if you don't understand what transpired with the Ikwerre. It is a serious misnomer to use Fulani/Gambari as an analogy for the Ikwerre/igbo situation.
