How The Igbos Emanated As A Tribe by franchizy(m): 11:38am On Sep 22, 2013 |
Fellow Nigerians I think it is worthwhile to let us know how the igbos emanated as a tribe. The IGBOs are merely Ikwerres of Rivers state who migrated from Port Harcourt to the different parts of the South East states which we have today during the days of our forefathers and as History can tell us today. The whole areas in Ikwerre land in Port Harcourt were overflooded with water because of the great tide from the Atlantic Ocean and for this reason many Ikwerres migrated to a safer land were they settled down, had children there and now decided to give a name to the place to enable the colonial masters recognize the area and develop it. In 1902 sir Alvan Ikoku, Loius Ojokwu, Nnamdi Azikiwe, papa Achebe, papa Mbakwe, they all return to Port Harcout there original home town but unfornately for them the flood still persisted and they had no choice than to return back to Ngwa land, okigwe, Ohafia, Abriba, Ngor Okpala, Abakiliki just to name but a few. The colonial masters attention were drawn to these areas after it had a name and an interin Head, a British was sent to Rule the place temporary. In 1904, the flooding in Port Harcourt ceased and some noteable indigenes then started farming and fishing which attracted the colonial masters to the area and it was massively developed. So many of our sons of Ikwerre land who migrated returned back and hearing the names of there brothers like Amadi, Anayo, Okechukwu, Chidinma, Chioma, Udo, all Ikwerre names, they went back to there areas of settlement and started naming there children Ikwerre names. I want Nigerians to know today that the IGBOs are Ikwerre by tribe and that is why they are minorities in Nigeria as the main Ikwerres shifted ground to become Ijaw and Niger Deltans. I remember how the Oil wells in Egbema and Oguta of Imo state were given as a gift by the Omaraelu people to them to enable them ve a source of living and attract foreigners to the area. I also remember how the Iriebe and Oyigbo, Afam, Ndoki people of Port Harcourt also gave some oil wells to the Owaza and Asa people of Abia state as a gift to also attract foreigners. Little wonder why the igbos answer same names with the ikwerres and why the igbo language has a similarity with that of the ikwerres. If not for the greed of the igbos who never appreciated there ikwerre brothers, the ikwerres would not have closed down there seaports and borthers during the civil war that claimed so many igbo people lives due to hunger. In conclusion, Nigerians can now see why the igbos are minority in Nigeria, why an igbo man cannot rule this country. |
