Lol...esan are not Benin... that's a different tribe entirely... Will u claim itsekiri is Yoruba despite difference in culture

There is OPC in Itshekiri land.
automatically they are Yorubas.

Francis95:
I am Igbo from Anambra. I only got to know that there are tribes called Etche, Ikwerre and Ekpeye because I am schooling in Uniport. Here in Onitsha nobody knows what is Ikwerre or Etche.

Our people don't care, seriously.

Seerade029:

There is ndigbo in Lagos... automatically lagos is Igbo land....Do u see how it is?
That's not a valid points...are the culture of itsekiri and the Yoruba the same...
what abt Ibibio and efik
or Hausa and Fulani...

pls all those are tribes on their own...lets stop grabbing lands that's not our own

Dedetwo:
You foolishly forgot Ijo was never an ethnic group. Do not bring Igbo into this discuss. Who gives a ratass about silly ninny holding a group of people in high regard?

Port Harcourt also belong to ijaws and We are here to stay.
As for your question tell it to the stars.

Etinosa1234:

Lol, the culture is influenced from Benin and urhobos.

Owo culture is also influenced by Benins.

Any where you see OPC (Oduduwa people congress), it's a Yoruba land.

it's in kwara and kogi.

Ndigbo is different.
it's a title for the leader of Igbos in an area.

I'm telling you anywhere you see OPC.

do you see OPC in Benin?
No!

That was why the map was redrew.
And they actually called Gani Adams to do so.

So don't equate it to Ndigbo

Yujin:
Son of the fallen demon... always seeking for ways to sow discord among Igbos. The thread was for Igbo groups but a smelly ewedu gubbler like you couldn't bear it hence you had to jump in and continue causing problems. The same you wish among Igbos will be in multiples among your people.

You mean the same way you have been wishing religion crisis among yorubas but the wish is manifesting in your igboland among your communities.

Still no point... Nigeria's current way of life was hugely influenced by the British...does that make us British?
Does influencing itsekiri now make dem yorubas

think abt it

Link to this assertion please?

Malawian:
The reason Yoruba's cliim to be united and one common wealth is because they are all parasites in the Nigerian state. They have nothing they can drag with one another for sustenance.

Says someone from a region that produce least in everything that come together Nigeria table.

Dedetwo:
You are not only a dumb liar but completely ill-educated. Igbo did not dominate eastern region and I had wished they did. If the Ndigbo had dominated everything in the defunct eastern region, the arrant nonsense heard everywhere would not have been possible. The minorities in western region and northern region were forced to speak either Yoruba or Hausa language respectively to survive.

Evidence will make you sensible. Till then, you are just a senseless liar.

kollinzgee:
Bro you are very wrong,my first girlfriend ifeanyi was from ibuzor she never denied being Igbo.i have also seeing many delta Igbos here in Lagos they have never denied being Igbos.i am only sure of Ikwerres and and etchies not delta Igbos.my best friends in secondary school luck okoye and ugochukwu who is now in delsu never denied being Igbo we even speak Igbo together.

Ibo is not a single tribe but many tribes anyone from south south, south east and north central that cannot speak Yoruba and you don't know their tribe. Yoruba called Ibo (Bush people). That doesn't mean all the tribes are ibo

But amongst d ibos they know themselves and the differences.

Etinosa1234:
Link to this assertion please?

You don't get me,
the previous maps didn't include Itshekiri to Oduduwa, It included Benin. But it was redrew later.
Gani Adams inaugurates OPC In Itshekiri.

Apawicked:
Ikwerres are not Igbo. When you are tired of your Igbo identity denial you know what to do till then we still regard you as Bini people.

The guy just called Benin Minority bro, Benin people don't suffer o lol



Together we can make Nigeria better

God bless Nigeria

OfoIgbo:
And the current Ohanaeze secretary general is an Ikwerre man.

I'm not trying to force the Ikwerres into the Igbo group though

I have said this severally, but allow me to reiterate that Ikwerre is Ikwerre. Yet, some persons, due to whatever convictions can decide to identify and/or consider themselves part of any other ethnic group. That does not detract from the accepted fact. So because Amaechi is now Igbo, I should hold town hall meeting in my village and announce to everyone that we are now Igbos.

kollinzgee:
You are free to think whatever you like it's the Ikwerres that have problem with Igbos not we just that the hate Is contagious it spread to us.

This is exactly why I maintain that Ikwerres are not Igbos and should not under any circumstances be accepted as one.

The Ikwerre Igbophobia is toxic and infectious.
They have infected all Igbo speaking groups around them with toxic Igbophobia. The likes of Ekpeye and Etche use to be disinterested in Igbo/non Igbo stuff, until Ikwerres started infecting them with Igbophobia.
Ikwerres are also currently infecting Obiigbo people with Igbophobia.

Ikwerre is toxic for Ndiigbo, and Ndiigbo must do well to keep this people away from association with Ndiigbo.

I don't know what Ikwerres are, they could be confused Bini people or anything else. But one thing I am 100% sure of, is that Ikwerres are not Igbos.
I personally make it a point offline to embarrass the living hell out of any Ikwerre man that tries to convince me he/she is Igbo.
I can never be a member of any Igbo organization that have Ikwerre people as members neither can I ever respect such group.

Ikwerre is not Igbo I have said this time without number I don't know why ipob includes them in igboland..is it that they have vast landmass? What is so special about them?

As sea level is rising rapidly ikwerre land will be gone in in 40--50 years time since it below sea level so much money would be spent on land reclamation ...so just let the time bomb be good luck to any country that will inherit the land .

Igboid:
Itsekiri was at no time in history grouped as a Yoruba subgroup.

They have always maintained their independence from the Yoruba Union from the very beginning.

Ijebu also maintained their independence at the beginning but the emergence of Awolowo an Ijebu man as Yoruba leader, changed the Ijebu disposition towards Yoruba union pre independence.

. Even the Ukwuani, ika, Ndokwas have always maintain different ethnic group from the Igbo. I as a ukwuani man any time I want to fill any documents about ethnicity I always wrote ukwuani as my ethnic group and not Igbo so the Igbo are wasting their time if they think the so called Igbo will love to join them.Meanwhile Nigeria constitution recognised Ika, Ukwale, Akwarra etc. as different ethnic group.

You are right bro I don't know what is the fear ipob having all the Igboid group in biafra will cause overpopulation and poverty.

MinorityOpinion:
Let me break it down for you, I like your approach OP, no insult, no abuse, it is quite strange to me but you have done well in that part.

Igbos only influenced the riverine tribes, they are not the same with igbos, Igbos are travellers so their culture and language must have dominated the small tribes of the riverine area they migrated to. I have a documented article by a British man that visited the area in 1800. Another thing is that dressing like igbos and speaking igbos doesn't mean they are igbos, for example look at Yoruba cousin, the Igala, they belong to Yoruboid group, they wear clothes that look like Yoruba dress, our language is quite similar to theirs, so can you tell me, are igalas in Anambra Yoruba?

I understand some of your point, your family may be one of earlier igbos immigrant and you said, your elders have said they are not Igbos you can't know more than your elders.

Thanks

Have you forgotten that stupid people grow old too? Old age doesn't automatically bestow wisdom on a person. Just because someone is an elder doesn't make it right. Out of all the politicians disgracing you on TV over the past week, how many are young? The entire South East and so called South South have Igbo heritage.
The segregation began with the discovery of Crude Oil.
That's why I always say that any tribe that cannot be traced backwards beyond 100 years is a lie.
Ask an Ikwerre, Etche or Anioma person about his Great Grandfather, you'll discover they were all Igbo.

Lies!

Ezeh Obi Ossai of Aboh kingdom was the first Igbo king that met the British, and he clearly told them he and his people were Eboes and that the rest of the Eboes were across the Niger.
Simon Jonas an Igbo slave from Sierra Leone served as the interpreter between Ezeh obi Ossai of Aboh and the British.
The British even named Aboh as Eboe town and many speculate that the usage of Eboe to refer to all other Igbo speaking clans was forged and given birth to by the whites at Aboh. Once they started calling Aboh Eboe town, they decided that everyone else who spoke similar dialects as Aboh was Eboe.

Below is a link to colonial report on visit to Aboh and encounter between Ezeh Obi ossai, his son Chukwuma and the British colonial masters.
http://www.archive.org/stream/narrativeofexped01alle/narrativeofexped01alle_djvu.txt

Unlike other lying Igboid groups. Aboh history was well documented by the British, so it would be so hard for you lots to change history overnight.

Ukwuani happily identified as Igbo until 1970. That's the truth.

IDENNAA:
What non existent evidence. Ika and Ikwerre will never have a civil discussion with you because it will lead to actually examining real facts and these ppunks don't want facts. They want a made up story of Bini migration.

Onicha people were once like them until the Anambra experience. Soon , they realized the average Anambra will just laugh and ignore their ignorance. Today , the Onicha man has been humbled.

As for Ikwerre, one word ignore the nonentities and watch as they disappear. They are not worth the headache but I understand Ndigbo wanted a United Igbo nation that includes the Igboid.

Oga! Ikwerres are not Igbo's....if you google the list of Ethnic groups in Nigeria...You will definitely find Igbo and Ikwerre on same list....You pipo should stop all dis ya bragging nonsense...mk una leave other pipo ethnicity for hand....

You dont possess the intellect to deliberate on this issue. This is not a simple matter of black and white, lets discuss facts if you got the balls. Otherwise, dont quote me again!

Again, you know danm well you will lose this debate hence you resort to insults and name calling. You and your Ukwale abi na Ika are bunch of shameless ccowwards. Come to the debate table and prove your lame points.

By the way , I dont want you and your people in the republic of Igbo land...again , carry una yeye comot but we must state the facts and keep embarrassing you regardless the insults. We will keep exposing you ! Weaklings

Ikwerre people never wanted to identify with Igbo's ... You people are the ones always doing the opposite.....
Una colonization for worst pass white....foolish pipo

Leave other peoples ethnicity alone...is it by force to identify as bia.fraud, whether na Biafra ....

History says United States of America migrated from Britain.... Both United States of America and Britain speaks English....but you can never identify a US man as a British man despite the fact they migrated from UK....


Allow people identify with there various ethnic groups in Nigeria,,,
abeg!!! we no dey 1960


Meanwhile.... we have more than 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria alone, Igbo is one of them likewise Ikwerre.
I no understand why a particular ethnic group would want to colonize another ethnic group, for this computer generation ahhhaaahhh!!!!

It doesn't take a soothsayer to detect your abundant nothingness. Essentially, you have nothing meaningful to contribute other than the usual weak lines of abusing Igbo ,just because we got our act together and willing to demolish any concocted lies with strong provable facts.

Now , scram!

The example you are using is not suitable for the comparison you are trying to make because U.S and U.K are in two different continents. Secondly, the time of separation are well documented and U.S speak English due to colonization but what could you tell us about Ikwerre and their "Bini" ancestry ?

Do you see how senseless you people sound ?
