We Are Ikwerre-Igbo, But Ndi Igbo Doesn't Accept Us, Ohaneze Should Address This -Andy Wabali

No one accept or reject anyone. people decide whom they are and they are address as such.

Another day, another person trying to divide southern tribes along tribal and ethnic lines to weaken them.

Kontinu

Igbo is yourself no one accepts or rejects
it is what you are
except you denounce yourself that you are not

igbos love their brothers and sisters from the other side.

whatever odd you see is equally obtainable within the core

We need forge ahead as a front. The initiated abandoned property to disunite igbos

What is the difference between Nsukka, Wawa, Ikwerre, Ohuhu, Ngwa, Oru, Ijekebe, Aro, Abrirba, Izzi, Abakiliki?

The only difference between all of these people is the small difference in dialect.

They are people who are collectively known as "Igbos" because they speak one language called Igbo and their culture is pretty much the same.

From Ikwerre to Nsukka to Abakiliki, there is only one word for "come" and that is "Bia"

There are no two types of Igbos. Its either your ancestral language and surname is Igbo or not. If both your ancestral language and surname are Igbo, it does not matter what you claim to be, you are Igbo.

cc igboid, oriakuamara, over to you.

BEFORE THEY ARRIVE, I WANT TO SAY ON BEHALF OF THE IGBO NATION, THAT NDIIKWERRE ARE IGBO IN ALL RAMIFICATIONS OF LIFE. THE MATTER OF ACCEPTABILITY, REJECTION AND DENIAL IS ANOTHER TOPIC.


IGBOID AND ORIAKUAMARA, CAN DISCOURSE THAT PART, MY BUSINESS HERE IS TO LAY CLAIM TO OUR PEOPLE AS AN IGBOPHILE. I KNOW OUR PEOPLE AND TERRITORY LIKE ABC AND CAN NEVER DENY OR REJECT DEM NO MATTER WAT, HIGHEST WE FIGHT FOR IT.

I wrote an article why ikwere is now more divided than every other tribes, since the story of ikwere and bini link, ikwere land have not remain the same, now we have ikwere Igbo and ikwere bini, make my word, very soon we will have ikwere Igbo ethnic nationality, ekpeye ikwere bini ethnic nationality, etche ethnic nationality, elele ethnic nationality, etc, oil have caused more harm than good to my people, I have tried to lecture my people several times that ikwere and Igbo are brother but they choose to listing what an outsiders told them, this time every man will answer his Papa name

am told Igbo is linguistic. The language of origin one speaks tells his or her ethnic group

Ikwerre people has openly denied us Igbos since 1970s, and there is no need for them to come back.

Their Apex Ogbako Ikwerre organization has continued to hold on to the bini origin tale.

They are now their own ethnic group.

Any Igbo man or woman that continues to accept them into the fold is inviting a snake into their house.

Ikwerre Igala nko . Some of them are actually Ikwerre hausa. Like those from ubima side

Horsepower102, I lie?

Anyway, the wabali actually tried to hide the division but it is too obvious too hide. It has actually sipped into the medulla oblangata of every ikwerre person.

See sentimental statement. Is this not the same people just like the Delta Igbos who claim they are not Igbos in order to get allocation from FG.

Yoruba have only succeeded in dividing ikwere people ..

Now they’re confused...

Igbo ship has sailed since the days of idu .. any pained ikwere should set sail before they become originless like the Yoruba people who believe oduduwA fel from heaven to create them... after trekking down from Egypt

To your tents all igbos..

Let ikwere carry their cross

1.Ogbakor Ikwerre is the official elite Ikwerre sociocultural organization.

2.Ogbakor Ikwerre remain Igbophobic and Biniphillic.

3. Ogbakor Ikwerre position reflect those of majority of Ikwerre people.

4. Ikwerre on the majority remain rabidly Igbophobic

5. We have always known that there are few sensible Ikwerre people who retained their Igbo identity and remained Igbo.

6. However in group things, the wish and opinion of the majority must represent those of everyone else.
After all we know there are Igbos who want Nigeria, yet their opinion cannot represent those of majority Igbos who want out of Nigeria Union.

7. In a nut shell, Ikwerre remains non Igbo. If the tiny Igbophilic minority among Ikwerre who want to be Igbo are serious, they will take their fight to Ogbakor Ikwerre and win them over.
Only after this, will Ikwerre readmission into Igbo nation be reconsidered.


8. Until then. Ikwerre are just confused Bini people whose Bini ancestors suffered from permanent brain damage on their language centre, such that they completely forgot their Bini language and had to adopt Igbo language which they mutilated to create the abomination they call Ikwerre Bini language.

9. It is hoped that in the future, Ikwerre Bini people can grow some shame and return back to the original Bini language of their ancestors by going to Bini to recruit Bini language teachers to teach them.


Tokwehu!

This is just the beginning. A time will come when all those that denied their Igbo blood will actually cry and beg to join their Igbo brothers but will be to no avail. As for me, Ada dike, I will be the last person to beg for unity with those that deny their Igbo blood or deny my Igbo blood. I am a thick igbo blood. No apologies!. Lalasticlala

Ikwere People Are Not Igbo —Andy Wabali..
By Victor Ajihromanus
An opinion leader in the Niger Delta, Mr. Andy Wabali, has clarified that the Ikwere of Rivers State, are not Igbo irrespective of language similarities.
He also said it is wrong to describe the Ikwere as Igbo, saying the ethnic group is distinct from the Igbo ethnic group.
In a chat with Vanguard, Wabali, backed his argument with contemporary examples in the country.
His words: “Clearly, the Ikwere in Rivers State which I am one of them are a very distinct people. We are very different from the Igbo. Yes, there are similarities in language but that does not make us Igbo.
We bear Igbo names like Nnamdi, which has no meaning in my language for instance, when the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was the President, some of our people were given the names. Even Goodluck J
“That does not make him Igbo. My people are not Igbo. Culturally, we are different. We might be in the same language group, but that does not make us Igbo. Don’t forget that Igbo language was a language of trade just like the Hausa and Yoruba languages that were used as trading languages in the past. People might be describing us as Igbo, but that is an error because we are different from Igbo.
For instance, in the United Kingdom, the Scottish people are not English, the Irish are not English but they all speak English. In Belgium, the Belgians are not French but they speak French. Because most people do not read, they take everything they hear hook line and sinker. Most Nigerians do not read. There is intellectual laziness even on the part of our historians. Some just generalize and write reports that can’t be substantiated. We belong to the language group that cut across the Bight of Benin and even Southern Africa.
“We are Ikwere people. We are distinct in culture and many areas. Our distinctiveness can be seen in our kinship and anthropology. When people talk about dialects, there are no dialects of English language. So the issue of dialect does not come in. The French language is embedded in English just the way the German language is embedded in English, but these are two different nationalities with different identities. Since Igbo is a language of trade, it is widely spoken just like the Hausa language.
Today, we even have a wrong coinage, Hausa-Fulani, but there is nothing like Hausa-Fulani. You are either Hausa or Fulani. In the Niger Delta, we have a lot of ethnic nationalities. The Urhobo and Isoko are two different ethnic groups. There languages are similar but they are not the same ethnic group. Isoko people are Isoko people while the Urhobo people are Urhobo. It is in that same manner that Ikwere people are Ikwere while Igbo are Igbo.”
On restructuring, he said: “We have to widely consult and have a consensus on what we want as a nation. If there is no consensus, we will not be able to make progress. We have to allay the fears of the North by making them know what restructuring means within the context of our demands. It means different things to different people. Therefore, everybody would bring something to the table so that we would have a consensus.’’

We Are Ikwerre-Igbo, But Ndi Igbo Doesn't Accept Us, Ohaneze Should Address This -Andy Wabali

Who accepts slaves?

Slave status must be maintained?

You Imo state people should stop disturbing our peace with all these ikwerre issues.

Ohanaeze is just a cultural group and not kings of various communities hence they are toothlessbulldogs.

They have no right to address any issue and more importantly nobody knows anything by name ikwerre.
