It's very obvious that PH is an igbo settler colony and the settlers decided to go it on their own like the UK and US. I say so because the recurring uses of the word Umu...i mean RUMU in the locale names implies places of settlers inherited by their children....but you don't see Americans naming their communities Rew York, Rilidelphia, Rew Jersey, and and Rassachusettes lol. In fact the funniest part is when an Ikwerre person says umu he says umu. I've never heard one say Rumu.


Abagworo, please what is the meaning of this nonsense abeg?

The Ikwerre are considered by a great majority of scholars as a subgroup of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria,[1][2][3]

There are several theories over the origin, and the strongest and most widely accepted one is the theory linking the Ikwerre to an Igbo origin.[5] They would be descendents from an Igbo migration from Awka and Orlu areas towards South. Igbo scholars take Ikwerre as part of the Southern Igbo. Amadi, an Ikwerre scholar, says that the Igbo origin theory has some support even inside Ikwerre themselves, with Ikwerre would be descendants of a migration of Arochukwu Igbo, with Okpo Nwagidi being the leader of the Ikwerre tribe. Before the civil war, there had been dissident voices that claimed that Ikwerre could have come from lands outside of Igbo lands such as the Benin Kingdom.[5] Just as an example, when Port Harcourt was conquered by Nigeria during the Biafran War and the Igbo people from other parts of Igboland fled the territory, a UN report says that the Ikwerre decided to claim that the Ikwerre were non-Igbo for convenience.[6] The Ikwerre are recognized officially as a separate group in the 1979 Nigerian Constitution.[5]

LOOOOLL, chie

What exactly is the point of this thread?
What do you suggest we do?

Onyesom Nwike- Nyeso Wike.
Okey Nwali-Okey Wali.


People like Elechi aMadi denied his publicly but still observe the culture.
Ikwerres are phoooooools

Probably Amaechi is looking for some alphabet to conjure maybe something like Rotimi Hamaechy

Ikwerre matter again? You lots are sure making Ikwerre appear special or important.

Your inabilty to translate those one correctly at least proves the clear difference. I've never said ethnicity is determined by language alone, so if there exists obious similarity between Ikwerre and Igbo or let's assume the language is even almost same, it does not in any way prove that Ikwerre is Igbo. What I have debated in the past is that Ikwerre language is one of the numerous versions of Igbo language like Ezza, Ukwuani, Ika, Ehugbo etc. but Ikwerre is not ethnic Igbo.

Keep Quiet, it was the Igbos that changed the names of Ikwerre towns/areas to Igbotic names. Ikwerre only did what they have to do-CHANGE IT BACK TO THEIRS.

Stay Away From Portharcourt especially Portharcourt SOUTH

Otherwise...

God Bless Nigeria

Ikwerres actually use ''rumu'' instead of ''umu'', it is one of the many differences between their language and Igbo, just as they use ''wene'' instead of ''nwanne'', ''wiri'' instead of ''nri'' etc..
Stop disgracing Igbos here.
This thread reeks of serious ignorance.
I Collynzo, on behalf of other sensible Igbos, hereby denounce this useless thread.

Surrounded by igbos etc etc, what does that make someone? Chinese?

LOL so what is why Duncan Mighty is calling himself wene mighty? This whole time I thought he was trying to do guy, i didn't know it was phoolishness.

Ikwerre is just Igbo spoken by a stammerer LOL. I agree what Governor Ribuke Ramarchi should change his useless name, as should Rete Rodili, Ronto Rike, Ryesom Rike, and any rother Rikwerre man or woman in the federal republic and Ricegeria

You can continue your trolling, I have already denouced the thread on behalf of other Igbos.

Making this an Igbo vs Yoruba thread might be a good idea afterall. It may help us deviate to the Caliphate Asari talked about in Kwara.

Unemployment is a very serious problem in Nigeria. Imagine what a full fledged adult sat down all day to think and write? Instead of using his time to do something lucrative for himself. People like this make me believe that Nigeria as a country has wasted this current generation of her youths.

Sleep sleep where r u.... Lemme stretch and yawn properly. And cuddle my blanket in this hot weather

Ogba man, wetin concern you with Igbo-Ikwerre matter? You are not Igbo, neither are you Ikwerre, why then are you showing interest for this mata? *grins*

I noticed that we folks from Enugu and Anambra aren't too concerned with the folks from Ikwerre denying or accepting the Igbo identity, as opposed to our kins in Imo and Abia.

Our focus tends to be more keen on the breakaways in Delta State.
