Ikwerre is not Igbo. They are Bini people whose inferiority complex plagued Bini ancestors abandoned their Bini language for Igbo language, which they corrupted and continue to mutilate in the name of forming "Ikwerre language".

These people know they are Bini people. Bini people still exist and Bini language is not a dead language, it's still spoken in Edo state. Instead of disfiguring precious Igbo language in the name of Ikwerre language, why can't Ogbakor(yet another Igbo word) Ikwerre go to University of Bini and employ Bini language lecturers to come to Uniport and teach them Bini language? The Bini language taught Ikwerre professors can then organize workshops and seminars to teach Ikwerre teachers Bini language. The Ikwerre teachers can then be sent to rural villages and communities of Ikwerre to teach the people Bini language, the language of their wandering ancestors.

If this is done, in ten years Ikwerrre would have returned to her original Bini language and stop disfiguring Igbo language. Ogini di. How can they mutilate our beautiful Igbo language like this?
Which one is Dikne, Ohna, Iwhurnohna, instead of Dike, Oha, Ihuoha? What sort of insult is this?
And I hope when they complete this complete reversal to Bini language, they will look for a new Bini name for their ethnic group, as both Ikwerre and Ihu-oha( mutilated to Iwhuruohna), Ogbakor( Igbo word for gathering) are obviously Igbo language derived.

These Bini people should mind themselves. And please Igbos claiming these confused lots should stop it already, you guys are disgracing us.

Ikweres are Igbos, whose language do you want them to adopt other than their mother tongue, Dothraki language?

Who is forcing who. You keep making very generalized vague statements that has nothing to do with my original comments.

BTW majority of Aniomas have no identity crisis. They know that they are igbos.

Please don’t engage me again.

He said: "Hold onto God and Rivers people. Keep your focus on the good people of Rivers State. Use your position to unite the people of Rivers State. "

President-General of Ogbakor Ikwerre Cultural Organization Worldwide, Prof Emenike Wami said the organisation is honouring a worthy and deserving leader.

He said: "He is a man with a heart of service for his people. He has distinguished himself as a performer. "

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara said Governor Wike has been honoured because his people trust his ability to lead.

He said: "He is a trustworthy leader. He is a leader whose words you can take to the bank. Appreciation is an application for more. This is a great honour. By this honour, Ikwerre people are applying for more."

Former Anambra State Governor, Mr Peter Obi said that the achievements of Governor Wike are glaring for all to see.

"Everyone is seeing his achievements. We can only urge you to continue to deliver", he said.

He said that Governor Wike's leadership transcends Rivers State as he supports the PDP nationally.

PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus commended Governor Wike for his commitment to state-wide development. He said that Rivers people are happy with the quality of Wike's leadership.

Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Austin Opara said this is one way, Ikwerre people are showing that they are happy with Governor Wike for making Ikwerre ethnic Nationality proud.

He informed that Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality with four Local Government Areas, has over 50 percent population of the state and a major voting strength.

He said: "What Rivers State is to Nigeria is what Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality is to Rivers State."

He called on the ancestors to continue to bless Governor Wike as he continues to deliver for Rivers people. They assured him of their support.

Speaker of Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Monday Obolo said that the speakers of State Assemblies are appreciative of Governor Wike's efforts at development.

Responding, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike thanked the leadership of Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality for the honour.

"I accepted this honour because when I look back from where we are coming from, I am a proud Ikwerre man. I am a Rivers man, but I am come from the Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality", he said.

Governor Wike declared that all Ethnic Nationalities must work together to ensure the emergence of a Rivers Governor that will carry the entire state along.

"We will continue the legacy of Odili. Anyone with the interest of Rivers State will be supported. Wherever you are from, you must show that you are a Rivers man.

"We must work with all Ethnic Nationalities to move Rivers State forward", he said.

He urged Ikwerre people not to be intimidated, saying that there can be no political position without the Ikwerre people playing prominent roles.

He noted that Rivers State remains one United state, where all ethnic groups are important.

He said: "Rivers State is one. Nobody can divide Rivers State. No outsider can be Governor of Rivers State. Let us not allow anyone to divide us.

"If you must be a Governor of Rivers State, you must carry Everyone along. No Ethnic Group can do it alone. Once you say it is your turn, it will not work. When you say it is your turn, you have started failing."

Governor Wike took out time to recognize Rivers and Non Rivers people who have worked over the years to ensure his political growth. He praised Former Rivers State Governor, Peter Odili, Chief Sergeant Awuse, Prince Uche Secondus, Senator Sandy Onoh, Chief Dan Orbih and Alhaji Imam for their contributions.

He said contrary to the claims by some persons, he committed to state-wide development of Rivers State as depicted by his projects.

Governor Wike heightened the celebration as he personally led Ikwerre people on a medley of Traditional Ikwerre songs during the grand Civic Reception.

Traditional Dances and wrestlers also entertained guests at the event.

Ikwerre born musician, Duncan Mighty also performed at the event.

[s]If you are with your senses intact...You won't rush out to disgrace and embarrass yourself..

Education is key to every understanding.

Meanwhile this is the exact words of Wike

"I accepted this honour because when I look back from where we are coming from, I am a proud Ikwerre man. I am a Rivers man, but I am come from the Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality", he said.


Two captains can't be on same ship...Two ethnicities is a conflict....


Next read this message before screenshoting scraps you see in Google.

I have never seen words like DIKNE OHNA..


A good intellectual develops their own language not banking on existing language to bastardized it..


Your Journalism is really called to question this moment young man.[/s]

Delta is my state and you guys are claiming it as an Igbo state. insult is not a new thing. some of you insult even your parents at home

Stanweezy:
It's better they develop their own Language if they are not Igbo and stop bastardizing our precious Igbo Language.


Which one is:

"Dikne Ohna" instead of Dike Oha

"Rumuola" instead of Umuola

"Rumuokoro" instead of Umuokoro

"Oyigbo" instead of Obigbo


Who ever that is thwarting this people brain of believing they are not Igbo should please create a separate language for them.


I love my Delta, u can't see village name bastardized like this. Onicha ugbo is Onicha ugbo and not Rumuonicha or Rumugbo

Advocate500:
why don't u send them to bini to go and live there with their brothers?I thought they said Lagos is own by bini people too or the yorubas has defeated u people to own Lagos now attention has shifted to rivers state. Every tribe comes from somewhere ,just like the yorubas their origin can be traced to Benin republic, can u say that are not yuroba but Benin?I noticed anything igbo put fear in people like u?

niaralandtopuser:
[s]you guys should stop forcing those those who don't want to be part of you .if the Anioma or ikwere man says he is not Igbo, let him be. you guys should stop claiming my Delta as Igbo state because of a few migrants[/s]

.

all these haters and ignorant elements with myopic mentality engulfed with illusions of their inability to access knowledge. May it be known to you that before the civil war there was no titled office in the so called Igbo land.
You guys stole our culture, tradition and titles yet have the guts to say Ikwerre is from Igbo. Nonsense.

It's unfortunate how you try to enforce and enjoin yourselves to people who do not share same aborigine with you just because of selfish attempt to have a share of their God given natural resources, fail fail fail!!!! Fail.

Go and do proper research before you keep proving your selves to be ignorant masturbators of masturbating enslave.
No reasonable literature in the world library will even support your claims yet you keep clamouring. Nonsense

Ikwerre bu otu and no region can divide us.

immhotep:
Bros this is not Domination.
Ikwerre is Igbo.
Igbo is Ikwerre.

the Itshekiri uses Yoruba name. Isoko and Urhobo sometimes use Yoruba/Benin names. the Isoko and Urhobo language are similar but both claim different ethnic group.

niaralandtopuser:
If you read the history of most towns in Delta you will understand what I am saying. I can give you the names of 3 to 5 town in Anioma who trace their ancestry to the Benin kingdom. some of them claim their ancestors migrated from Benin. that they adopted a similar language to the Igbo does not mean they are Igbo. at school , Anioma and Igbo cultural day are celebrated separately

Continue lying to those whose cares to listen.

Anioma is an acronym.
