Even after leaving Nigeria, Igbo will face difficulties. Sure, Nigeria is about to break with these recent incidents. And I feel Tinubu will initiate before the end of his second term. Igbo will struggle to coordinate themselves at first, but I believe they will overcome this. While Yoruba will pick up quickly, the rest of the north will be extremely confused. SS will face challenges as a result of Igbo, but places like Ikwere, which have rejected Igbo, will remain steadfast because they understand they will be second-class citizens in Igboland. While Igbo will seek their wealth, they will resist Igbo. This is where work needs to be done because Igbo will want to use force to make them stay, but Igbo go collect wotowoto. Benin will undoubtedly prefer Yoruba. In addition, Kogi, Kwara, and Niger residents will choose Yoruba. The Kainji dam will cause a major problem for Yoruba and the north, but I believe there will be a solution after so many disputes.

Separating Nigeria will not be easy, but it is inevitable. Then we will all experience what is known as prosperity and wealth. Africa will pick up gradually because Yoruba nation to Abidjan will first benefit from this. The Yoruba nation, Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, and Abidjan will all experience massive growth. I believe Libera will also benefit greatly. On the other end, a debate will take place in Bakassi. Also, part of Adamawa where Atiku comes from will have challenges too. I believe everyone will want to reconnect with old allies. That of Lagos and Cotonou will not be an issue because "egun" people can easily move to Badagry, and the border may also shift forward. Why? Nigeria will not claim the people, but rather the new Yoruba nation. Same will apply to Adamawa - Cameroon, Bakassi - Cameroon. It think Niger and Chad won't have issues with the new nations close to them.

We should all start preparing for this. Please go and buy land where you live before it is too late. When the time comes, that land will provide you with a residential permit. It is better to build a house there quickly.

Good luck to everyone.

Any Ikwerre person who is not identifying as Igbo is no different than a transgender. While transgenders are suffering from gender dysphoria, such Ikwerre person is battling with ethnic dysphoria.

XXXOGBA:
Nde Isoma go too cry today.
We need more of this from our prominent figures.

This fool I didn’t not hear from you again thought you said you were coming
You can rant and make noise online but when it comes to reality we know who our brothers are
All this propaganda won’t work again leave ph and go meet your brothers in the west

AguluLiar:
Ikwerres are not Igbos .

We Igbos should stop this desperation. It's embarrassing to people like us.

amaridigital:
Leave people to make their choices regarding their identity now. Na you go force them to attach by force? This attitude of yours will make your Biafra dream a pipe dream for centuries to come because even if the whole ethnic groups in Nigeria agrees to break up, as more and more people are now tired of you guys, the fear amongst the other big tribes is that you guys will try to grab other people's land and resources which will lead to unending wars. Haba, bini and itsekiris shared same ancestry, similar names, culture and tradition with the yorubas but you will never find any Yoruba person who is interested in forcing them. The moment you start to adjust the map you will open a floodgate of unending conflicts as we see in Gaza. Just because your people are in the US will you go and claim their land? For me, I truly support the exclusion of Igbo land and people from Nigeria and will mobilize everyone to vote for Biafra if there is referendum tomorrow because we are all tired of you people but my biggest concern is that there will SURELY be a war without end between the igbo and their minority neighbors. Jonathan said something similar at a university in the US last week.

diamond68:
it's a question of displaced people assimilating into the bigger tribe. For example some Brazilians moved to Lagos state years ago and their future generation all speak Yoruba today and have Yoruba names. But will they be wrong to say I am not Yoruba I am Brazilian? Just cuz someone from ikwerre speaks igbo and has igbo name doesn't mean they are igbo

Konquest:
Succinctly stated.

Fact, u speak igbo language

Fact the word Ikwerre is Igbo word meaning agreement.

Facts your Kings are called Eze.

Facts, you answer Igbo name

Facts you practice Igbo culture.

Fact you eat Igbo foods.

Fact you have Igbo gods.

Fact Ikwrre founding ancestor and father have Igbo namee.g Akalaka

Fact Oba of Bini said Ikwerre are Igbos, thus bini claim is lie.

Facts, Ikwerre are geographically integral part of Igboland.

Facts, Ikwerre were one of the founding members of Ohanaeze.

Actually Brazilians are Portuguese and Yorubas, they didn't fall from heaven.
Switzerland and Austrians are ethnic Germans too.
An Igbo man can understand Ikwere as much as they can understand Nsukka or other non-central Igbo dialects spoken outside the major cities.

Enice:
Yeah! Soon you'll say Nigerians are English because we speak English.
Brazilians are not Portuguese. The speak the Portuguese language but majority are called Indians.
Language is just a communication tools most time promoted by trade, war and religion. The superior language becomes that which the conqueror speaks

TUTU147:
Thank God Almighty that some of his kinsmen said they are Igbos, while his is bini.It is very possible because in delta state,we have bini,olukumi and igala people who are indigene of the state most especially in delta north where 95 percent are igbo.We have Igbos in kogi,benue,edo,cross river and akwa ibom state but in few numbers.Igbo unite is not about separation but about one family coming together.Biafra is not an igbo affair as some people think,Biafra is majorly ijaw,igbo,efik etc.

Bliss4Lyfe:
Only problem here is yoruba have no input and no business here.

Bini have yoruba invaders like the Oba of Bini but the Bini people are not yorubas.

Are Esan yoruba?

Itsekiri are mixed and land dot around Ijaw settlement, how do u separate them?


Ikwerre are full blooded Igbo people without any question.

pinkyruledworld:
They wont be wrong if they say they are Brazilians cause thats their origin. But in this context, are you trying to say the igbos came out of ikwerre?

Tbh, the way i see ikwerres and other igbos is the same way i see ijebus, egbas, ondos, ekitis. They are all yorubas but trust me, even some of them wont understand a thing another yoruba says despite being the same yorubas.

Ikwere to me, is just a fragment of the igbo tribe. My gentle opinion tho

zero8zero:
Unity beggars, go to Ikwerre land & say it to them.
Obi of Onitsha and Onitsha land are not igbos.

Bliss4Lyfe:
Cry from now till eternity as Yoruba, u should be looking towrads Togo and Benin Republic for your relatives, where they have Yoruba.

Rivers state is none of your gaddam business.

Bliss4Lyfe:
They are yoruba.

zero8zero:
Igbos properties were seized in PH & they were chased away from Rivers. Igbos have no business in Rivers State.

Pootle:
alot is wrong in this country, i bet breaking up this country is not the solution

Bede2u:
Language is the most important aspect of culture. Igbos never conquered Ikwere. Unlike English spoken in nigeria because England colonised us, Igbo is spoken in Ikwere as mother tongue.
Portugal established a settler colony in Brazil. Majority of white Brazilians have Portuguese ancestors.
Stop arguing like a kid, before I treat you like one
