the fact still remains that irhuoha is from Edo. Ikwerre can for any word to want to mean anything.

Why not accept the truth than change post? The core Ikwerre originate from Okpo Wagidi who migrated from Arochukwu as an agent of the god, stayed at Ozuzu in Etche for some time before leaving to found towns inhabited today by his descendants. These towns make up the present day Ikwerre LGA. Emohua, Obio/Akpo and PHC consists of a mix of secondary migrants from Ekpeye, Ogba, Kalabari, Okrika and Igbo. Maybe some Edo people equally came as secondary migrants but there exists zero Edo influence in Ikwerre language and culture.

shachris02:
Chambers Dictionary (William Geddie, ed. 1962) says: “A nation is a body of people marked off by common descent, language, culture, or historical tradition: the people of a tribe.” However, S.O.L. Amadi-Nna (1993) avers that: “A tribe is a group of clans under recognized chiefs and usually claiming common ancestry. Ikwerre can therefore not be a clan but a tribe. The Ikwerres claim a common ancestor. Ikwerre is an independent small tribe.” In the words of K.O. Amadi (1993), “Traditions suggest that Ikwerre is a nickname given to Iwhnuruọhna people…..They have ever since regarded themselves as a distinct group and have happily come a long way in their struggle for self-identity as evidenced by the recognition of their language as one of the Nigerian languages.”

Amadi-Nna (1993) added that: “The Ikwerres are a small but distinct tribe. The Ikwerres have distinct linguistic, social and cultural traits and formations that distinguish them from other close neighbouring tribes like the Ijaws and the Ibos. Majority of the Ikwerre settlements have their roots traceable from the old Benin Empire.” Iwhnurọhna people descended from the ancient Bini Kingdom. The name of the grand ancestor is Akalaka. Their relations in Rivers State are Ekpeye and Ogba people. The reigning Oba of Benin when Akalaka, the ancestor of Ihruọha (later called Iwhnurọhna) fled was Oba Ewuare (Ogwaro). Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled in the 13th century on allegation of plotting assassination of the Oba. He died in 1462. Iwhnurọhna his third son settled east of the Sombrero River by 1538 AD, as detailed below.

Chief N.M.T. Solomon (2004), native of Ikodu Ubie in Ekpeyeland, in his narrative draws heavily from the now authenticated written historical records delivered by various informed sources including “Eketu (Weber) of Ubeta, assumed to have lived for over two hundred (200) years as the oldest man in all Ekpeye, Ogba and Iwhnurọhna (or Ikwerre), at that time (and) was asked to narrate the history and customs of Ekpeye people” as unfolded in his lifetime. Here is what he said, which has been validated by the accounts of the current generation through responses to our questionnaires and direct interviews thereby increasing our level of confidence on the data:

Ekpeye, born in Benin, was the first of the three sons of Akalaka. While in Ndoni, he married a second wife to gain the love and favour of the people. The new wife gave birth to a son, which he named Ogba. Akalaka was still in Ndoni when his first wife, the mother of Ekpeye, gave birth to his third son called Ihruoha (Ikwerre).

Similar historical fact by J.N. Olise (1971) averred that: “Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled with his wife from Benin to Ndoni, a community located close to the River Niger, to save the life of his new born baby (Ekpeye) … While at Ndoni, Akalaka took a second wife. … Akalaka had two sons, Ekpeye – born to him by his Benin wife, and Ogba – born to him by his Ndoni wife. According to F.E. Otuwarikpo (1994): "After the death of Akalaka in 1462 AD, his two sons, Ekpeye and Ogba had conflict, which compelled Ogba, the younger son, to move northwards where he founded Ohiakwo (Obigwe) and settled with his family. Ekpeye who remained at Ula-Ubie had seven sons – Ubie, Akoh, Upata, Igbuduya, Ekpe, Awala and Asa. The last three sons – Ekpe, Awala and Asa – crossed to the other side of Sombreiro River (present day Ikwerreland and settled there since 1538 AD.” He added that: “Ekpe migrated to present day Rumuekpe and spread through Elele (Alimini), Ndele, Rumuji and part of Ibaa. Awala migrated to present day Isiokpo …”

Amadi-Nna (1993) also said Akalaka migrated with his half brother called Ochichi from the area of Benin Empire. Ochichi sons were Ele (Omerele, now Elele), Elu (Elumuoha, now Omerelu), Egbe (Egbeda) and Mini (Alimini, Isiokpo).

The crucial point here, which is of great importance in tracing the joint origin of the ancestors of the Old Ahoada Division (in the Governor Diete-Spiff administration), is the mention of the number of children that Akalaka had, namely: Ekpeye, Ogba and Ihruọha (Ikwerre). It is noteworthy that the pedigree and name of Ikwerre people, Iwhnurọhna, obviously took its root from this original name – Ihruọha. Chief Solomon therefore establishes a very vital historical link, which has been missing in literature on Ikwerre origin that would assume more significance in the discourses of Ikwerre genealogy in the future – the fact that Akalaka was the direct father of Ihruọha (Ikwerre). Iwhnurọhna, in Ikwere parlance, means the face of the community (town, city or village).

Nigerian colonial history records that the name "Ikwerre" was given by the colonial administration when they wanted to acquire the Rebisi waterfront to build the wharf. Using an Ibo interpreter to talk to the illiterate Rebisi (Port Harcourt) chiefs, they asked them: Would you permit us to use the waterfront to build the wharf for ships to berth? And they answered: A KWERULEM, meaning - "We have agreed." What the white-man was hearing was "Ikwerre," so he recorded it in the official gazette that the IKWERRE PEOPLE have agreed for the colonial administration to build the wharf. And since it was the official record of government, the name Ikwerre became the name of the Iwhnurohna people in all official documentations till date.

Similar cases of Anglicization of native names in the Niger Delta region by the colonial administration are Benin for Bini, Okrika for Wakrike, Degema for Udekema, Abonnema for Obonoma, Brass for Gbara sni, Bonny for Ibani, Pepple for Perekule, Ahoada for Ehuda, etc

Even so, “… there were dissenting voices, … who believed that Ikwerre origins lay outside Igbo land, … in the Benin Kingdom of old. It is, therefore, obvious that the interminable debate about Ikwerre origins and migrations including the repudiation of the Igbo tradition is not a phenomenon of the post-civil war period. The controversy, as it were, is not necessarily the product of the present political realities wherein groups which hitherto were seen to have cultural affinities now find themselves in different states or administrative systems.” -- K.O. Amadi (1993)

The Ogbakor Ikwerre Convention, a cultural organization of Ikwerre people, in a paper presented to the Human Rights Violation Commission headed by Rtd. Justice Chukwudifu Oputa on 10 October 2001, said: “Ikwerre ethnic nationality is not and has never been a sub-group of any other tribe in Nigeria including Ndi-Igbo. There is no doubt that the advent of the British and later regionalization put Ndi-Igbo at the helm of affairs in Eastern Nigeria. This brought Ndi-Igbo into Ikwerre land. In course of time, the Igbo took advantage of their position in the then Eastern Regional Government to grab land in Ikwerre and occupy political positions such as the mayor of Port Harcourt. In the process, Ikwerre along with other minority groups were marginalized and driven to the background.”

Professor Godwin Tasie noted that in 1913 the Rt Rev Herbert Tugwell, the Anglican Bishop on the Niger, undertook an experimentation tour of Ikwerre towns and villages assumed to be Ibo-speaking to test the Union Ibo Bible Nso being introduced in Iboland. "Tugwell discovered from the tests he carried out that although the Ikwerre were often regarded as Ibo… the Union Ibo Bible translation, surprisingly, was not easily understood by the Ikwere." This is obviously why Igbo vernacular was compulsorily introduced and taught in all schools in Ikwerreland before the Nigerian Civil War to the assimilation (i.e. destruction) of the Ikwere language.

This also obviously led to the Rumuomasi Declaration in 1965. " … in their meeting at Rumuomasi in 1965 the Ikwerre had, under the umbrella of a highly promising new body that was to get the Ikwerre together as a people of new and clearer vision, they had declared themselves as a people of the distinct identity of Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality - not Ibo, not Ijo, not anything else but Ikwerre, Iwhnurọhna. This was the historic Rumuomasi Declaration of 1965 (G.O.M. Tasie, 2000). The full implication is that Ikwere people began to assert themselves forcefully as an ethnic nationality of their own and not Ibos or Ijos, and efforts were made to revert to the original Ikwere names for families, villages, communities and landmarks. For instance, there was the change from Umuola to Rumuola, Umuoro to Rumuoro, Umukrushi to Rumuokwurusi, just to name a few.

Abagworo(m): 12:27pm

[size=18pt]Those countries are not landlocked by enemies. Biafra will be an enemy territory inside a hostile Nigeria. Imagine where you find yourself dependent on your enemy including freedom to fly.[/size]

One thing I like about written comments is that they are hard to deny.

He admits Igbos are hated in Nigeria and dependent on their enemy who have gained political control of the center.

He specifies that the hatred will be continued even if we get Biafra.

Abagworo so wat is your point? That Igbos remain in a country with people that hate them until they are all murdered?


I still prefer my chances in Biafra becos, i know my people are not lazy and will defend ourselves like pro, wen it comes to dat.

shachris02:

and What's the meaning of Ekepeye in igbo?

The Ekpeye (Àkpà ọ́híá) are a people in southeastern Nigeria with a distinct culture and rulers of a former kingdom. The Ekpeye are usually included as a subgroup of the Igbo people on linguistic and cultural grounds. They speak an Igboid language. Ekpeye people live in the Ahoada (Ahuda) and Ogba-Egbema areas of Rivers State in Nigeria, and were a population of about 80,000 by the 1991 census, the number has increased by about 63% increasing them to approximately 130,000, according to the 2006 census estimates.

You quoted Wiki but Ekpeye means Akpa Ohia and they accept that. Unlike Ikwerre, Ekpeye started talking about Benin origin long time ago alongside Ogba. Ikwerre was not one of Akalaka's children and Akalaka was from Igbo part of Benin empire around Agbo.

Ogba and Ekpeye are children of Akalaka but recently in a bid to justify false claims some mischievous children of Ikwerreland started claiming that Ihuruoha is a corruption of Ikuruoda in order to lend credence to Benin links.

shachris02:
mpa, is ekpeye an igbo word? I Don't know much of ikwere words But I know igbo So well to know that ekpeye is not our language.

They are not humans but blood sucking demons. Demons enjoy wen their victim suffers.

Have they not told u dat onitsha is BENIN?

Everything is Benin and then Benin is yoruba.

Wen u think of the Benin, it is not bigger than Awka or Owerri.

A very tiny local government area.

shachris02:
Im still waiting for the meaning of ekpeye in igbo language.

Ekpeye is "ekpa ohio" or "akpa ohia" in central Igbo meaning "bush bag".

Abagworo:
Ekpeye is "ekpa ohio" or "akpa ohia" in central Igbo meaning "bush bag".

lol. seriously? not only akpa ohia...... makwa akpa ife.

Abagworo:
You misunderstood me. I mean if Igbos declare Biafra and become surrounded by Nigeria and not today.

Igbo cannot be surrounded by Nigeria . Biafra is not Igbo and all our territories are known to the UN and World Powers.

Believe it or Not, once Biafra is declared, u will find that 90% if not all southsouth is going with Biafra.

Akwa Ibom is a blood relative of the igbos as DNA has confirmed. Do u think they are with u?

Rivers Igbo, do u think they are with you? Anioma and Ika, down to Igbanke in Edo, do u think they are with you?

Ijaws, u could not stand their presidency and GEJ showed where their heart belongs. Yorubas couldn't take it. Ijaws, do u think they are with you?

If an Ijaw steps forward today for election as president, they are garanteed 99.9% of igbo vote.


Urhobo voted massively against inclusion with yorubas in 1963 referendum by 150,382 to 273. Do u think they are with you?


Dude u need to keep sentiment aside and understand that igbos are not surrounded by enemy as such, we have friends and yorubas are not it.

trapQ:
I didn't read the nonsense you wrote down there. Reason being that nothing sensible can come from you.

I'm going to break it down for you what he is saying.

STOP F2king speaking for us SS igbos. Like you claim to be urhobox now who the f2k gave an "urhobo" the right to speak for anioma, egbema, ndoki, etc. Hell you can't even speak for Ibibio set, talkless the hundred of tribes in SS that have no bearing to the clan you claim to be from.

WTF kind of rubbish is this? Every f2king day this damn asahwo keep invading every biafran thread speaking for everyone as if she was made king. I swear this is why I believe wholeheartedly your f2king @ss isn't from where you shamelessly claim to be from.

Switzerland is she not a landlocked country.?

Illiteracy at its best

]

Um...I hope you realise that this same Switzerland has 3 ports??

As for switzerland, It sits on the bank of a very large River called the Rhine which connects it directly to the sea, and it has 3 ports on the bank of the Rhine.

All three parts of the Port of switzerland – Kleinhüningen, Birsfelden and Muttenz-Au – are well connected to the European road and rail networks, and offer optimal conditions for the establishment of reliable and efficient supply chains.

KLEINHÜNINGEN
On the right bank of the Rhine, Kleinhüningen is composed of docks I and II and a turning basin. Kleinhüningen has three container terminals, whose development is still growing. Kleinhüningen also serves as platform for the transshipment and storage of dry bulk goods such as steel, aluminium and other metals, as well as for liquid fuels.

BIRSFELDEN
Birsfelder is on the left bank of the Rhine and is specialized in the handling and storage of steel and other metals while being connected to production sites. In addition, this part of the port is also used to transship other dry goods, containers and petroleum products.

MUTTENZ-AU
Located on the left bank, Muttenz-Au is the area where particular liquid fuels are transshipped and stored. Moreover, this part of the port is used for edible oil, fertilizer, clay, grain and other dry goods. It is specialized in the handling of heavy freight.

The Swiss Rhine ports are a major asset for the country and the region. The Rhine connects Switzerland to the sea.

Waterways are not only an economic asset for companies, but also for individuals. In Europe, there are indeed some 500 million tons conveyed through waterways, with a traffic volume of 100 billion tonne-kilometers. http://www.citizenports.eu/partners/port-of-switzerland/

size40:
Except for those who don't know. But for many of us down here in south-south, we know that the 2 major reasons why the Igbos want the people of south-south to be part of their separatists movement is; the oil and access to sea and port facilities to enable them continue their importation business. Check the whole of Igbos land they do not have access to the sea the way we South-south have. From Calabar straight to Edo even stretched to Ondo and Lagos states all these States have great access to the Atlantic Ocean. So that is the reason why the Igbos at all cost want the south-south people to be part of Biafra. They see it as whether we like it or not that we are Biafrans. If u doubt me, just engage on this Biafra disscusion with any Igbo man and tell d person ur a Rivers, Akwa Ibom person but ur not part of Biafra and see how he will insult u as if u have no right to say ur a nigerian. I encounter them here everyday in port harcourt. I challenge on d street, cab, football viewing centers etc. Some of which have made me their personal enemies. Yet they cant do anything to me because me i hold ground for my Area and zone. Not that the Igbos love us so much and the Hsusas and the Yorubas hates us so much as being painted by the Biafrans led by one Nnamdi Kanu of Radio Biafra. Igbos is land is seriously a landlocked zone. Tompolo's boat can't even sail in Onitsha river how much more a cargo vessel or ship.

Who and who are we rivers people? Waite a minute is rivers a Tribe of what please i stand to be corrected

safarigirl:
size40 is not even South South..... if not that NL is a faceless forum, impostors will not be using this place to post ignorant crap.



The more I read comments on NL, the more I'm inclined to believe white people who say the black man has an underdeveloped thinking faculty. Just look at this OP and fellow ignorant people on this thread

Exactamundo. The problem with SE is the fall for this "WE SS" people where majority aren't even from SS. When someone invades almost every single biafran thread to start arguments how "WE SS" are not biafran and always do do even when there's no discussion about SS in that thread, that should point it out to them.

Heck on the front page, there's a thread about "bayelsa election serves as a lesson to Igbo's", reading the thread it does not take a genius to know the author is Not igbo even though he claim he is one. It doesn't take much to know that antibiafra, shachris02, dinachi, etc are not igbo but dome weird reason SE always fall for this people masquerade.

They should ask themselves why "WE SS" invade every biafran topic on NL but you go to areas where post is not faceless like FB, YouTube, etc, you rarely find a "WE SS" in fact. But you do see multiple northerners and yoloba speaking for south south. If you doubt me, go and read Rabio Biafra Facebook page
