Don't mind them, that's how my course mates in Anambra always claim that I'm Igbo because of my name...
Ain't you ashamed you bear an Igbo name while you're not an Igbo?

Lord Frederick Lugard and wife Flora Shaw gave Nigeria her name. The meaning of the word "NIGERIA" from the latin word "NIGER" (meaning "BLACK"wink is "BLACK AREA, AREA OF DARKNESS OR BLACK SPOT". Most African nations changed their names after independence. Sadly Nigeria did not.........MAYBE THESE IS WHY WE DONT HAVE LIGHT IN THESE BLACK AREA CALLED....NIGERIA

Rivers State has Ikwerre, Andoni and Kalabari. No igbos or whatsoever

This is from 1959. Before divide and rule blinded so many people. This is why I laugh at so many kids on the internet who just repeat what they heard

Now I know FFK actually takes drugs, what does he knows about Rivers state or portharcourt?

Portharcourt was named after a British Business man, named "Lewis Harcourt" he does coal Business, he buys coal from Enugu, and export it outside the country through water transportation, as far back as 1900. Harcourt bought over a piece of land, which is close to the shore (presently known as NPA portharcourt) from the late chief Oju Daniel kalio, then paramant Ruler of okrika, of the ijaw ethnic nationality. As possessive plurality will apply, it is called Harcourt's port, which can be change to the other way, "portharcourt"

The piece of land was actually bought by the white man.
Information is the key. FFK should take note.

Thats because igbos probably originated from ikwerre. Or do you know the origin of your so called igbos. Please Don't run away. Come and tell us if you think igbo didnt originate from ikwerre, or wait, your are one of the jews

All these minority ethnic groups that speak Igbo language ( or slight variations of it) and bear complete Igbo names ( both first and surnames) and still deny their Igbo ancestry baffle me. The last time I checked, Igbo is one of the 3 major ethnic groups in Nigeria, so how come a major tribe(Igbo) will originate from a minor tribe(ikwerre). You guys should leave Igbo language alone, bear your own names and coin your own language. FYI, that your Igbo name will still put you in trouble if another civil war arises because a typical Hausa/Fulani man will still see you as Igbo unlike the efiks, ibibios, urhobos etc that have their own distinct languages and names that they don't share with anybody. Make una dey deceive yourselves, Peter Odili, Chibuike Amaechi, Nyesom Wike, Ifeanyi Okowa, Ned Nwoko, Peter Nwaoboshi etc are your governors and senators yet you deny having Igbo ancestry.

....oga if ikwere who is living in denial said they are not igbos they should carve out their own unique language different from the igbos otherwise people will keep refereeing them as one because every language is unique n different not similar otherwise there will always be confusion... check every know language...which one is closely similar to igbos n ikwere,..... hausa, Yoruvba, name them...all are very unique and different.
their language isn't exactly like igbo . They said they are not , y'all should leave them alone and stop forcing them

When South South leaders wanted to select a candidate for their VP years back, Peter Odili's name came up.
Edwin Clark and other South South leaders immediately disapproved him, saying he's Igbo.
That was how his ambition was nipped in the bud.
The South South people know who the real Niger deltans are.
Ikwerre can deny all they want.

PhenomenalMorgan:

It is called Ikwerre language, stop associating Ikwerre to igbo because of the language similarities,
Nyesom means "person that follows me"
Ezebunwo means "The child is a king"
Does it mean the same thing in Igbo language....

That's is exactly what those names mean in Igbo

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.
grin they will soon called you an Edo man or Yoruba or Fulani grin grin

These igbos are so disgusting. Their manners make me puke. I always try hard not to dislike them ( truth be told, they are the closest and most reliable of any ethnic group in Nigeria to we the Ijaws) but I just hate their quick tendency to claim people, land etc.
Because ikwerres have similar language to the igbos, the average igbo man will never in his life time imagine nor believe that igbos could have originated from the ikwerres but they will forever believe that ikwerres originated from igbos. This is because of their "entitlement believe"

Very soon and in no distant future you will regret this statement of yours, I just pray it will not be too late for you then! Rivers state has Igbos and Igboid groups as indigenes of the state. You called obigbo irrelevant but praise your useless bonny that will soon disappear due to high sea levels as relevant....I wonder how someone from bonny could be this igbophobic? This is nairaland though where yorubas claim Rivers state.....peace

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.
Just thank God the igbos aren't expansionist, cos if they were, by now your people would have been speaking igbo or they would have chased them all out to Sao tome...reason why you riverine people will never smell the brick house......forget that we uplanders sometimes would say we aren't igbos, but you don't mess with our brothers and think we would let you go unpunished.....be cultured bro!

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.

Even former governor of Rivers, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi , an Ikwerre man from Ubima, said in the video below that he is an Igbo man and nobody should deny him his Igboness

Anybody here that says ikwerre is not ibo is a BASTARD! Cos those people are either yoruba or hausafulani. Even some of my ikwerre brothers that say ikwerre is not ibo are fools too. It means u don't know your root and origin . How can ikwerre not be ibo but we are speaking IMO IBO? I'm ikwerre and I speak IMO IBO...then how can I not be Ibo?! We ikwerres have the same language, culture & tradition with d ibos.. Doesn't that tell u something?!! angry
And also portharcourt is not our original state name..our original state name is IGWUOCHA! Pls my ibo brothers should not give ears to this negative commenters. Most of them are yoruba and hausafulani. They re trying so hard to put a discord btw SS & SE.
Please yoruba hausafulani should leave us alone ooo... We re biafrans, we re not oduduwas... Oil thieves!! angry

As far as we ikwerres have d same language and culture with d ibos... I therefore stand firmly to say...I AM IKWERRE IBO! AND I AM PROUD OF IT! If u don't lik it then u can go and die for all I care angry

For your info I don't support the people who say ikwere are igbos, they are not and should not be, but we have full blooded igbos in your so called Nigeria Delta, Rivers State inclusive, it's not my fault if you refuse to be educated and enlightened.
