Ikwere: we are not igbos

Rest of Igbos: Stop lying. You are Igbos

Ikwerrre: No we are not. We migrated from bini.

Rest of Igbos: ok drop our language and culture and go and learn how to become a bini

Ikwerre: No we will just add extra letters to your language to make it less Igbo sounding.

I was expecting your stupidity here as usual you didn't disappoint, anu I hope you are aware Wike is one of Igbo elites that supported Nwodo to be appointed as the President of Ohaneze Ndigbo and he appointed Hon. Igochukwu Okparanma from Ikwere to represent Igbos in Rivers state, your stupidity only ends here.

Osagyefo98:
Story..

I said the truth and you call it division.

Just leave Osogbo and face the fact...

Ikwerre aren't Igbos.


Nothing necessary concern me as I am not interested in what happens there after all they are more closer to your state than me.

okpalaAnambra:
I'm not concerned about Ikwerre and whatever and whoever they choose to be, I have lived in portharcourt myself and they don't consider themselves Igbo, my own opinion is that they should create their own language and leave Igbo

My grouse with u is how u insult some Igbo states here on nairaland which isn't good for the Igbo, you may think you're trolling but is not good for Igbos as people will usually say we're divided and can't rule ourselves..Protect the Igbo heritage if you can and whereby you can't don't do damage to it

helinues:
Tomorrow is a better that day.. That craze wey dey worry you heh, mods go comot am from you ..

Sebi you have decided not to hear simple advise abi?

You go do the trolling better when the mods handle your case.
