Lies

I said I have never heard and you are saying "lies"

Are you my ears?

gidgiddy:
Ikwerre not being Igbo all depends on the Ikwerre you meet. An Ikwerre man and former Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, will tell the whole world that he is an Igbo man. Another Ikwerre Governor like Wike will say he is not Igbo


Meanwhile, an Ikwerre man called Uche Okwukwu is Ohanaeze Secretary general while another Ikwerre man called Elechi Amadi wrote a book to say Ikwerres are not Igbos

Its for Ikwerres to go and sort out whatever ethnic crisis that has engulfed them

Ameachi is saying his lgbo because of his political ambition,offcause we know his trying to play smart for the lgbos to accept him.lkwerre is not lgbo,I have read so many articles about the history of the lkwerre tribe and all points to the fact that lkwerre people migrated from the ancient Benin kingdom. Their names and cultures are similar to lgbos because of the early contact with the lgbos and their fore fathers then married a lot of lgbo women.

iddonla:


cos I grew up with a lot of them as best friends..and presently at work no love lost ..so why is the social media online space different...or are u guys hausa masquerading as yorubas

Growing up with a lot of them doesn’t make them yoruba okay. Same way some people grew up with fulanis and Hausa

Numismatic:


Ode, answer my question, how come Abaribas traditional dressing is the same as that of ibibio people? When you answer that then we can have a proper conversation. Run along now pig. You are not Abiriba, if you are, you will know

Abiribas hunted and sold "Igbos" as slaves for centuries

hahahahahahaha!U still de reason am?

HAccord:
Ndigbo have to start being very assertive in politics with minorities, our carefree biri kam biri attitude is attracting a lot of insults from some of these hopeless minorities lately.

Join the the Fulani and Yorubas in dominating and asserting yourselves politically over minorities. That's how to treat minorities in Nigeria, if you give them an inch, they'll be asking for your father's hectare.

That's why my father and many true wise igbo men would insist to know your village and see the prove before dealing with you. It's cause they know it's not all igbos that are igbos.

Just like calling Bobrisky a man when we all know she is a woman. Wike is not Igbo but Ikwerre.

aribisala0:
I do not know and neither do you

You simply believe what is pleasing to you

Who are "The Igbos" when did that come into existence

Guy reason well naa
How can igbos copy Ikwerres
Its just like a child saying he gave birth to his parents

You should reason from the point of size.
What is the population of the Ikwerres compared to the igbos and where else is the type of igbo they speak is being spoken

Igbo is the name of a language not the name of a place. Ikwerres speak igbo and therefore they are igbos.
Some of them that are deluded should stop deceiving themselves

Ikwerre is of which tribe

aribisala0:


Ikwerre is a distinct language .This is a settled research fact. I refer you to the work of Kay Williamson


Rather than say Ikwerre steal Igbo language be honest.

Why not say Igbo stole Ikwerre language or both languages have the same origin.

Why assume that Igbo language came first

stop this madness. Ikwerre is just a subgroup Igbo community which for whatever reason dissociate themselves from Igbos.
I have an Ikwerre friend and he told me everything about this madness.
He himself is not denying being Igbo.

I have read comment upon comments the fact is a grown up well learned man said he is not a igbo man pls so be it or is it by force to be igbo man?

Igbo are greedy in money, greedy in inter-tribal marriage, greedy in employement, greedy politically and now very greedy in land grabbing.

The other time some goats from my region said Edo is igboland, Kogi is Igbo land, Niger is Igbo land, Benue is Igbo land one ebmven said Anambra are not Igbo they are from Igala land greed, greed and greed this is why they will never get biafra.

Sorry I came from the region buf very opposite to their gene and character. They hate me for not reasoning like them and I don't give a fu ck.

Wike is not Igbo man anyone not happy with that can kill him or herself nah no one cares.

Wike saying he is not Igbo because he is from River state, is like Dele Momodu saying he is not Yoruba because he is from Edo state.

Only the wise will grasp this.

GOOD WE DONT NEED YOU TYPE TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH IGBO YOU AND YOUR FELLOW GOVORNORS ARE OF NO USE TO NIGERIA AS A WHOLE TALKLESS OF THE IGBO PEOPLE

Plz, tell me what any Igbo man tends to lose if Wike and some Ikweres say they're not Igbo?
What advantage does Ikwere land confer on any Igbo?

Ogbuu101:

They have such short memories.
I don't know what they think they can bargain with their 3 local govts.
They're falling right into the trap of the hausa/Fulani again and again and have refused to learn from the experience of Isaac Boro, Ken Saro Wiwa etc.
The oil that is confusing their head ,is it not Hausa/Fulani that have been enjoying it and own all the oil wells?
Have Igbo ppl not been doing well without the Ikweres?

let me ask you this..
What would be the benefits if Ikweres decides to indentify with Igbos?

Polchiz:

Calling it madness is an argument? Calling it madness makes your opinion prevail?

Tangiblehandwork:
What value will wike add to Igbo people,ikwerre and Igbo are not the same thing.ikwerre are just second class Igbo minority wey no even get tangible population.the Lord will deliver wike,as a Yoruba man,na only Igbo I sabi for the whole of eastern region.the other minority are under igbo

Werey dey disguise

Their names and cultures are similar to lgbos because of the early contact with the lgbos and their fore fathers then married a lot of lgbo women.

Did what you wrote make any sense to you?

OBUKSBAYELSA:


Rotimi Amaechi acceptance of being Igbo is for the purpose of contesting the Presidential ticket of APC in 2023 While Uche Okwukwu was sponsored by Rotimi Amaechi inorder for him to claim Igbo if Apc zoned it Presidential ticket to South East. The truth is that Igbos and Ikwerre belong to the same language group but that does not suggest they are igboid. Similarly Urhobos and Isoko in Delta State looks like that but they are different ethnic nationality.
Finally in Urhobo Land they answer names like OKORO & CHILEDU are we going to say they are Igbos because of the semblance of names; No! I think the Igbo politicians should find a better way to live with thier neighbours instead of using the IPOB vehicle to appropriate areas not under thier direct control, that's why minority groups in the South/South are extremely careful in doing deals with the majority ethnic nationality most especially the Igbos.

If igbo is your native language then you are igbo
Igbo is not the name of a town but a language

What is the basis?

Are Morrocans Arabs?
Are Egyptians Arabs?

Are Sudanese Arabs?

Are Tunisians Arabs?

seunmsg:
Very interesting interview. Apart from emphatically declaring that he’s not Igbo, I like the part where he claimed that the head of ipob is one small boy whose name he can’t remember . I’m also glad he acknowledged the cosmopolitan nature of Rivers state and rubbished the claim by ipob that they made him governor.

At least, those always doing attache by force can now give it a rest. Ikwerres are not Igbos and so be it. They are a distinct ethnic group in Nigeria. We should all respect who they are instead of forcing another identity on them.

. Suddenly you now know ikwerre history more than some other ikwerre people because it has to do with igbos, for your information, I, as a true igbo son, it is insulting to drag ikwerre as igbos, they should be the ones angling to be identified as igbos not the other way round, I don't see what value ikwerre will add to the igbo race, in Rivers State they have the least oil reserve compared to other areas including Obigbo, I am in Rivers State and I can tell you that the average Riverine Rivers and Bayelsa man sees ikwerre as igbos, Seun, you are supposed to be educated, don't allow your parochial thinking and hatred for igbos make you look like a dunce. Peace.

Your name is Uche
You speak Igbo even better than Igbos
Your parents bear Igbo names and speak Igbo as well
And yet you are not Igbo.
This is called madness.
Language and culture cannot be separated.
Why throw your culture away and embrace another man's culture.

.

Who told you Ogonis made any mistake and are now regretting?
What gives you the audacity to speak for others over what you can never comprehend

They made a mistake, instead of identifying with a larger group and fighting together against oppression from the North they betrayed the Igbos and the leader Saro Wiwa was executed and the Ogonis have not been formidable till date

Futureleader201:
This country na wa ..... When Goodluck Jonathan *Ebere* was the president, the Northerns said he is an Igbo man. When they make Amaechi a minister, they counted him as Igbo man *Amaechi*.

Nwike, don't worry, we will remind you of your statements when the time comes.

LOL.. Nonsense

Wike's problem is the problem of average Rivers politician. They somehow believe they get more national acceptance among other Nigerians by denouncing Igbo. Ikwerre is an independent Igbo group but it's unnecessary making it a topic any day by a responsible man.
