chrisxxx:They always believe they're smarter than everybody. To them, everybody is a fool. But as usual, with any move they make, they always shoot themselves in the foot. |

Zulu11zulu:He is not an Igbo man, deal with it. Stop exposing your lack of understanding. How can any reasonable person who listened or read Amaechi's statement, reach the absurd conclusion that he hates Igbos? Ikwerres are not Igbos., but a distinct tribe in Nigeria. That is a fact. |

aribisala0:Oh they are called Ikwerre? There are Nsukka people There Ngwa people There are Abakaliki people There are Onitsha people There are Ohawfia people So why do you group all these people together and call them Igbo? Are you aware there's no difference between these people and those you call Ikwerre, in culture and language, except small difference in dialect? |

Anselemchi:What is Igboid and what is Igbo? Ikwerre is not Etche and vice versa. Ikwerre don’t “enthrone and worship amadioha” whatever you mean by that. Amadioha is an Etche and not Igbo deity. Amadioha has been in existence long before Igbo was created less that 150 yeas ago as an ethnicity. U are in no position to tell anyone who they are unless you are not mentally OK. Live and let others live peacefully |

Spandau:From your statement, you are clearly a yoruba being used to create ethnic tension. Bro even your statement shows how ignorant your submission is. You are clearly a Yoruba person and you have no idea or understanding of the politics of old eastern region. |

Tranquill:Succinctly stated. The concept of an Ibo tribe is purely a British Colonial creation that gained traction after 1900. Prior to that period, these groups such as the Ngwa, Owerre, Awka, Nsukka, etc, didn't see themselves in that light. Even the name Ibo [Igbo, or "Igbon" used by the Benin-Edo, or "Onigbo" as used by the Igalas who sold human slaves captured in parts of the Ibo interior to Aboh now in Delta State] was used as a condescending or derogatory term for a slave, human flesh eating cannibals, primitive bush dweller by other people against the interior Ibos pre-1900. That's how that name Ibo came to be collectively used by others and the Colonialists to refer to them down the line. I will attached the screenshots of advanced history books that CLEARLY show these pure facts of history right BELOW.

Spandau:Fabricated stories! My friend this was written by Brig Gen Cyrillic iweze, who was NDA best graduating student in 1967 and fought for the nigeria army against his people. He narrates all the genocide against his people when biafra forces fell in asaba, PHC & calabar. Why are you surprised? isn't it the same thing NA does anytime their personnel are killed . They carry out reprisal against the community nau |

oluwaahmed:You're either an IPOB propagandist masquerading as a Yoruba boy or you're a Yoruba but who has been fed with lies. Ibos owed no space in today's SS except those in which they settled in at the kindness and generosity of their hosts. |

Irony1:Oga, whether I am a Yoruba person or not is inconsequential to my submission. I have spoken the truth and I know it hurts. As for creating ethnic tension, I don't think I have said anything to cause that. I only spoke the truth and opened the eye of the ignorant ones to it. |

Spandau:What you are saying is tantamount to people In benè republic or togo saying the yorubas are settlers & not indigenous because yorubas exist primarily in Nigeria. The fact that politicians & colonialists draw border lines fir their advantage does not mean the indigenous people are stupid. Ikwerres are confirmed igbo people. Their kings are referred to as Igwe or Eze, their language is like 70% igbo and they behave like igbo people- proud & stubborn. Ok Duncan mighty is ikwerre but see the title of his song. It's translated Jesus is king in both ikwerre & igbo

gidgiddy:I did not group anyone together Stop talking like an illiterate There are Kano, People, Sokoto people and so on . So what if there are Ngwa people and Onitsha people? What has that got to do with Ikwerre people? People call themselves Igbo because they choose to Ikwerre people choose NOT to be called Igbo because they are not Igbo There has NEVER been a time in their history they were called Igbo I am not the one calling them Ikwerre. I am aware there is a world of difference between them and those who call themselves Igbo Like I previously mentioned they do not speak the Igbo language They speak Ikwerre which is a distinct language it is not a dialect of Igbo It is only Igbos like you that call them Igbo. They are not Igbo and have NEVER identified as Igbo .. It simply is NEVER the case thatat any time in their history the Ikwerre people identified as Igbo |

oluwaahmed:Ikwerre have been saying they are not Igbo even before independence in 1960 They went to the WIllinks Commission to assert that fact Do you know about the Willinks Commission? They formed Ogbakor Ikwerre BEFORE Ohanaeze Your Story about a killing spree in Port Harcourt is a lie. Can you give us a date for when this happened> Can you provide a source for that claim You are telling lies Even before Independence Ikwerre were agitating against Igbo domination and sought to assert a separate Identity As usual Igbos just sit down and concoct fictional stories without any evidence Ikwerres have ALWAYS DENIED BEING IGBO and this goes back before 1960 independence |
