That guys story just showed the ipoo lies he's trying to make us believe.
These igbos are so so disgusting, damn. They will soon come up to claim Bonny and opobo and andoni. It is never never good to open hands to these igbo people, cause the minute you welcome them in large numbers, their entitlement thinking comes in and they start claiming your land and cooking up history how one mazi discovered your land in 20bc then went back to get his red cap he forgot at aruchukwu then came back to meet your tribe have taken over the land.

Alright..

But how come you bear same names with the igbos, and speak same words? Pls I am not interested in political fights. I am only asking honest question and u can educate me.
We don't bear exactly the same names, just some... And we don't speak the same words, I have been in Igbo land for some time to know that.
I'm a little bit busy, so I can't write much now.

Ikwerre's are igbos . Even though they always want to disagree. How can u have same igbos word in ur dialet that has same meaning in ur dialet and still claim "non igbos"?
Nonsense!!!

If a people do not want to be associated with a certain tribe, is it by force?? Same way some Igbos don't want to be part of Nigeria is the same way the Ikwerre people don't want to be associated with Igbos.

That is their intention. Land grabbing!

Ibo man and land grabbing are like 5&6.

Just imagine if the land in the SS were as useless as the ones in the SE? They'll never mention anything SS.

How many times have you seen them claim lands of other states in the NC that speak similar languages as Ibos?

The Biafran war did a lot of damages to the Igbo nation. But the most is the lies that is been paraded against South East Igbos. I have tackled one of your intellectuals on Facebook, find out about Okachukwu Dibia, go through his timeline, and observe our debate on this issue. If you claimed that South East Igbos killed your people, where is the evidence? Can you provide location, date and time with facts.
The Biafran war still remained one of the conflict that had extensive media coverage, so none of this purported genocide could have escaped the lance or pen of observers. Asaba Massacre was documented, including other major sector of the war, why is that of Ikwerre and other so called ND group not covered? Please, provide evidence or keep shut over what you don't know.
Our experience was not documented, but our parents and grandparents told us how our people were killed by the Igbo's, how our lands were taken from us, how the Igbo's laid ambush to unsuspecting men and women who fled their homes during the war, only to be slaughtered upon their entry into their homes.
My most living conspicuous evidence are as follows:
1: most of the British and Rivers names given to streets in the Diobu axis of Port Harcourt were all changed to the names of the Biafran soldiers that conquered the locals of those zones. Examples: Anozie street, Iloabuchi street, Emekuku street, Ikeokwu street. Pls find out.
1: Aruigwuruta is an Igbo speaking community that is very close to County Grammar School Ikwerre/Etche (Ikwerre LGA). The true natives were forcefully transported to Arochukwu/Obinkita, while the Aru people took over their lands and homes.
I have school mate from this area (Aruigwuruta) who are sad about this history.
Pls go and find out Sir.

Even the Diobu guys fought them as well.

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
Abeg tell them these people have their own culture and identity just because the language is similar doesn't mean they are the same, that's why we don't like doing things with them and if they have their way they would worse than the Fulani. attache by force

Go and ask a typical South South man, he will 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
Sorry am an ijaw born and raised in Port Harcourt, the ikwerre man had never called themselves Igbo but it's you guys who want to claim them by force.

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
Na mumu dey worry you. Ikwere is an Igbo dialect of Igbos leaving in Ikwere areas of Rivers State; you also have the Etchie,Egbema,Isiokpo etc Igbos in Rivers State. They all use and understand the Igbo central language; and if you want to learn to write in any of these numerous Igbo dialects,you must first learn the Igbo Alphabets of A,B,CH,D,....... Used by all Igbo sub ethnic groups like the aro Igbo, onicha Igbo, asaba Igbo ,ukwani/kwani Igbo, afikpo Igbo,umuahia Igbo, owerri Igbo, ngwa igbo, agbo Igbo ,nkanu Igbo, Enugu Igbo, Etchie Igbo etc. Just forget about politics; the Igbos know themselves. I didn't mention those of Bonny island and Opobo et.al. So brother, learn to cry within your boundary and don't cry more than the bereaved.

He has a point, but like the popular saying that Charity begins at home. I urge FFK whom I adore his knowledge as an historian to also tell his ethnic group to change their name from being addressed as "Yoruba". Have you always thought about where the word Yoruba originate? Have you heard many misconception and misapprehension that left you baffled? But his call for change of Port Harcourt made me want to make this clear to him.

What is the meaning of Yoruba? Does it have any inclination to their language? This is a thought provoking topic that needs profound reasoning and intense research for better understanding.


Hausa-Fulani who had been in contact with the FFK ethnic group even before the rise of Oyo Empire had for some reasons chosen to call them Yoruba, or Yaribansa (bastard and deceitful )
which later metamorphose to the name "Yoruba"

The Igbos had cleansed themselves off ‘Yinmiri’, a name the Hausa-Fulani had technically given to them. The igbos have today refuted Yinmiri to be a derogatory word, however, the reverse is the case for the Yoruba.


You can as well check the meaning from Yoruba dictionary or articles written by some Yoruba professors.

If you read history, and hangout with igbo men in their late 60s and above who spent most of their life in the East, you will understand a lot better.
u also need to find the original map of Nigeria before to many states was created .
@emboldened kindly share it lemme educate u that sharing the same region and same state doesn't mean they are in anyway related.
Aniomas and Urhobo share the same region and same state but they are different people entirely.
The Igalas and igbos in Anambra share same state and same region but different people entirely
Lastly Ibibio which I'm from shared the same defunct eastern region and even share boundary with Abians but they are entirely different even when Ibibios and Efiks of Calabar are so related and similar but they still see themselves as entirely different people

It's obvious this one knows not Port Harcourt. Guess the only areas of PH you know is Obio-Akpor area.

Goto the following areas and tell the okrika man that he owns not part of PH

1. PH old township including Borikiri
2. Marine Base
3. Amadi Ama down to Fimie, Ozugboko and Abuloma.
3. Odili Road down to Okuru, slaughter and Azuabie

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.
Thank you that's why we will never have anything thing to do with them, my father told me how they grabbed lands in Port Harcourt and named all the streets with Igbo names during the biafra war, they were raping and killing our people, until Nigerian soldiers came to our rescue in kalabari land there was a festival called June alali(meaning june Christmas) it was a time set apart to celebrate our liberation by Nigerian soldiers from these wicked biafran soldiers, we have not forgotten.
