FFK may mean well but it could also trigger another round of interethnic rivalry and unnecessary bad blood.

there is nothing like Igbo speaking people or Igbo parts in Rivers State so stop deceiving nairalanders.
Rivers State has Ikwerre, Andoni and Kalabari. No igbos or whatsoever

You aren't even Rivers State indigene and you are talking nonsense.
Even if the Ikwerres deny their Igbo origin what about the Egbemas, the Ndonis, the Eches

The name of the city was Igweocha, named because when our ancestors were approaching the ocean, there are no more jungle land to provide cover, instead they will be seeing a open heaven where the ocean reflects skywards causing some heavy contrast. The next generation called it Pitakwa.

Igweocha should replace the imported name of Port Harcourt.


I have never heard of such name before.

All we know is port Harcourt.

my colleague too from Edo state is bearing amarachi ifeanyi while the other one from Agbor is bearing Chinedu. Cos they bear those names doesn't make them igbo, or why Yorubas don't claim Rivers state too they cos Amaechi is bearing Rotimi has his first name?
These minorities have their own tribe, culture and identity.
Igbos should stop this ethnic cleansing of minorities.
Ikwerre is Ikwerre, Aniomas is Anioma and igbo is igbo

Cc gidgiddy

How old are you?

Before you mention Amaechi, find out why he bears Rotimi first.

Stop displaying your intellectual diarrhoea all over the internet

I think you are the ones deceiving yourself.
Go and ask a typical South South man, he I'll repeat what Gidgiddy said.

I remember one Ijaw man who used to analyze politics on Radio Continental then, somebody Charles. He would always say that Ikwerre people live in denial when they claim not be Igbos.

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, the most successful politicain from South South, claims to be more Igbo than Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe from Abia State grin

You guys had better check yourselves before you wreck yourselves

Chibuike Amaechi warned Abaribe on live TV not to deny him his Igboness. Amaechi might be an Ikwerre man but he will be the first to tell anyone that he is an Igbo man

We ikwerre Igbo have always known the city as igwe ocha. That's the original name.
Stop saying Trash!!!! Ikwerre is never and Will Never be Igbo. Ikwerre is a different tribe from Igbo. We have not forgotten how you people killed our people during the failed useless Biafran war. Your people with the help of Ojukwu killed our men, women and children, and transported some to be resettled in the bad lands of Arochukwu. That's why till today a part of Igwuruta in Ikwerre LGA is inhabited by the people of Arochukwu (Aruigwuruta). That is why I must continue thanking my ancestors who killed the land thief's upon their return to Rumuokoro after the failed useless Biafran war.

Yes some Ijaws are in Rivers but has no ownership of Port Harcourt. Just as Delta Igbos own Asaba, and Itsekiri and Urhono own Warri. Igbo/Ikwerre own Port Harcourt; as the Igbo name "Igwuocha" reflects that.

This shows just how ignorant most folks are. Who do t think own the real Port Harcourt? You think it's just the Ikwerres? Please consult your history book. At this point Google is your next best friend.

It is Igwe of Owerre, this is because 90% of Ipob miscreants are Imo state people, this is because the grand leader of massob/ipob is Uwazulike from your useless and worthless imo state

I noticed something about Igbos , they claim Nigeria is forcing them to stay with the country , yet they are the ones forcing southerners to join them . I'm from rivers state and rivers isn't Biafra ....

Ikwerre says they aren't igbos , yet igbos insist they are.
Same with kalabari etc yet igbos will insist they are
