In what way is idoma related to Hausa? Do they look alike, do they have close proximity? Do they have similar culture. I actually used them purely as an example but answer these questions
CyynthiaKiss: Even Efik , Annag and Ibibio no dey take eyes see each other Urhobo and Itshekiri rivalry is still there. What of Yoruba Christians vs Yoruba Muslims ?
Don't see it from that angle because everybody has his own internal issue, even in. different families Those people that you said that hate Igbos ..are they in majority ? No, but they are louder just like the way some people that are still supporting Buhari are louder while they are in minority.
Summary: Referendum will sort those things out
In Akwa ibom and cross river, there may be hope, even idoma in Benue. But all those urhobo, Edo, itsekiri, etc should just go
mightguy: oga adiri gi na mma. Don't mind them. They will claim igbo to attain some certain areas in politics while we we think our broda is there already He will be working against us
gidgiddy: Depends on who you talk to. Not all these people claiming to be Ikwerre are actually Ikwerre. Some are migrants from Ogoni, Ijaws and Ibibio who have lost touch with their ancestral lands and now claim Ikwerre
Chibike Amaechi, former Governor of Rivers state and a proud Ikwerre man has warned that nobody should deny him his Igbo heritage in the video below. So not all Ikwerre deny being Igbo, the larger percentage have no problem with their Igboness.
Ikenna0b: The guy you guys have been wasting your time address is Northern btw. He pretends to be urhobo but the nigga is fully aboki. Idk why una are wasting your precious time addressing that delusional coward.
Thanks for the heads up. I am ignoring him from now henceforth
horsepower101: The results will be shocking for so many non igbo minorities in the Niger Delta and I sense they don’t want such referendum to happen.
Also a lot of igbo communities in rivers state have kith and kins in Abia, Imo and even Anambra state. They were literally cut in half during state creations.
Then its good. For once let them see that they are confused and stop hiding behind the "we Niger Delta" slogan
justtoodark: but we already have peace with each other in the delta...na you igbos always try to disturb the peace...
Itsekiri and isoko are at peace? Urhobo and ijaw are at peace? Annang and Ibibio are at peace? You think you're talking to a man from Jigawa that doesn't know what's going on down south?
selemempe: we really dont need ikwerre. And we need to make it clear from day one.
If am a senator and i stand b4 the senate and ask them to consider giving igbos in nigeria an authonomous region, the map i will show them of igboland will not include ikwerre or p.h. it wont even include agbor in delta state
We dont need people who will rush to a newspaper to dissociate themselves from us the nxt day. Its embarrasing
Exactly. I like how you think. Good riddance to bad rubbish
justtoodark: no south south tribe will join una....we remember how you igbos chickened out of the war when the nigerian army was closing in...
No one wants you. You guys should play your minority tribe politics together forever and good luck trying to talk sense into one another and finding peace once you have no common enemy to hate on
horsepower101: They will not really have much choice because the other igbo clans in rivers state will go with us. Ikwerre has so much voice because of port Harcourt being in their land. But that doesn’t mean that they will speak for other igbo groups in rivers state when decision time comes.
You are wise. The truth is that the present system of States like Abia, Enugu, etc created for Igbo by Nigerian govt would have to be dissociated and Igbo will have to recreate states like nsukka, Nnewi, Aba, asaba, ikwerre, agbor, etc. These new 'states' especially those in rivers will then hold referendums to see which goes with Biafra and which stays with Niger delta
justtoodark: that land dont belong to delta igbos...we have historical facts that igbos entered their as traders...you cant join that area to biafra...
be warned...!!
When the time comes. Be warned you too. Puny irrelevant child of a puny irrelevant tribe
horsepower101: Ikwerre will realign once the conditions are right. Their igbo denial issue was actually fuel by the politically dominant ijaws in the old rivers state who tried to marginalize igbos.
Also know that Ikwerre are NOT the only igbo sub group in rivers state. There are about 7 to 8 other igbo subgroups that have never denied their igboness.
I have seen times without number how ikwerre vehemently deny their igboness to the point it has gotten embarrassing. Igbo is a successful tribe that has cultural ties with a lot of tribes and Trust me there are tribes that will choose to leave with Igbo when the time comes. Ikwerre can go with ijaws and continue playing politics with them
