How ironic.
Ikwerre is an Igbo word meaning 'do you agree?' or 'if you agree'.
I believe that the needless debate as to whether the Ikwerre and other Igbo speaking parts of Rivers State are Igbos is hereby permanently settled by the emergence of Maazi John Azuta-Mbata as the president general of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide.
But some people are not happy to see Igbos united under one umbrella as you see on nairaland and from the response to this my thread.
Even some Ikwerre people will rather bear Ikwerre which they rightly are than Igbo which they equally are.
They simply justify their Igbo name 'Ikwerre?'
It is understandable though.
God bless Ndi Ikwerre.
God bless Rivers Igbos.
God bless lovers of truth, unity and justice.
God bless Nigeria.

the question we should all ask is can an Igbo man speak ikwere Languege or a topical ikwerre man speak Igbo language?

history will never forget that an ikwerre man, a village in Niger delta colonized the whole Igbo nation

An outsider for that matter. Ikwere are not Igbo. Me too go contest that post joor

Terrorist group claiming elders and tribe grabbers will soon zone the group presidency to zamfara state 😆

When ignorance is your food, nonsense questions and statements are inevitable.

Igbo 101: There are many dialects in Igboland. A man from Ishiagu in Ebonyi state who has never traveled out from his village can barely understand an Ngwa man in Abia. An Igberre man in Abia that has never traveled outside his village can barely understand Onicha dialect in Anambra.

Did Ikeduru colonize Igbo because Iwuanyawu was the PG of Ohaneze?

Ogbakor is an Igbo word that anyone who understands central Igbo knows. What is 'Ogbakor' doing in 'Ogbakor Ikwerre'?

ikwerre people have there language different from igbos, true or false?

Ikwerre is a dialect under Igbo language.

Whether the news is ten minutes old, ten hours old, ten days old or ten weeks old, the point is that an Igbo of Ikwerre extraction is currently the president-general of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide.
Thank you.

The Ikwerre people speak the Ikwerre language, also known as Iwhuruohna...
kiss the truth

I believe you are an educated person.
There is nothing like Ikwerre language. What you have is Ikwerre dialect of the larger Igbo language.
For instance, most Yorubas cannot speak Ijebu dialect but all Ijebus can speak Yoruba because they are equally Yorubas.
Niger Delta is never a tribe but a region comprising of Efiks, Ijaws, Ogonis, Ibibios, Ogojas, Igbos, Edos, Urhobos, Itshekiris etc.

Meaning that Ijeshas are not Yorubas.

Why are you sad that an Igbo of Ikwerre extraction is the leader of Igbos worldwide?
Is Zamfara State owned by Hausas, Fulanis or Zambrames?

Same way Egba people speak differently from Ijesha, Awori, Ijebu and Okun.


Ngwa people speak Ngwa. Onicha people speak Onicha.


Babablu bulabu..

False.

Don't change the yopic. Ikwere are not Igbo. Unity beggar. Attached by force. Must you attach yourself to other ethnic group? Ikwere will never be Igbo. Me too will soon contest that ohaneze post

Same way history will never forget that the entire Yoruba nation were colonized by a drug dealer of questionable origin and educational background. So much for the most educated & sophisticated…..

I am not Ikwerre so I can't speak Iwhuruoha - the Ikwerre dialect of the Igbo language.
For instance, not all Yorubas can speak Ekiti or Owo dialects but all Ekitis can speak Yoruba and are Yorubas same as all Owos.

Infact, hardly can you see any Yoruba apart from those from Ondo town who can speak Ondo dialect. It is a completely different language to use the word but Ondo people are grouped as Yorubas. A former colleague of mine from Ondo town saude they see Yorubas by tribe but not by language meaning that their language and Yoruba are mutually unintelligible.

Funny enough, Oguns, popularly called Eguns that have a completely different language and whose kits are from Benin Republic are also classified as 'Yorubas'.
