What some people fail to understand is that PH is not important to us. If PH is that importation to us the Igbos in Abia are enough to fight and take it by force but that's not the way we do things. |

pazienza:wrong...the only thing that matters right now is what igbos think. This thread was not startd by an ikwerre man. I have heard every popular ikwerre person (maybe except wike) claim to be igbo. Every single popular ikwere man....but eh...their opinion dont matter because u think they think they are from bini. Can u tell me a popular ikwerre man who has openly denied being igbo? Anyway...the important thing is that ipob that claims ikwere doesnt get insulted by ikwere people.....it is our own people like u who are insulting ipob. U should learn how to leave certain things unsaid. Let sleeping dogs lie. Stop creating threads where igbos will be insulted unnessesarily because u want to be seen as reasonable 4 Likes 1 Share |

THAT IS AS GOOD AS IT CAN GET TO MAKE RIVERS STATE A COMPROISING IGBOID STATE DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF SOME OGONI AND KALABARI SETTLERS. THE MAJORITY IN RIVERS ARE IGBO. I HAVE A VIDEO OF ASARI DOKUNBO CONFIRMING THIS AND EVEN NAMING ALL THE IGBOID GROUPS IN RIVERS STATE. IPOB IS NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF THROWING AWAY THE BABY WITH THE BATH WATER.

For those who think similarity in name is why Ikwerre must be Igbos by force, here is what Ikwerre intellectuals say ×××××××××. ×××××××××××. ××××××××× MUST I BE IGBO TO BEAR AN IGBO NAME? By Emeka Reuben Okala. Name: A name is a set of words by which a person, animal, place or thing is known, addressed, or referred to. - The New Oxford Dictionary of English. The language in which a name is given is as immaterial as the concept of the name itself is fundamentally important. A Nigerian could be called by the name John, either in memory or honour of John the Baptist or John the Gospel, or any other John who has existed or is existing and has achieved. In the same vein, people from Africa and other parts of the global divide, but not necessarily from the Jewish state or Britain and America answer such names as; Mary, Thomas, Kenneth, Esther, Martha, Sampson, Samson, Mark, Matthew, Collins, Wilson, William, Evelyn, Louis, Justin, etc. This is because they appreciate the value of these names as reflected in the lives of those who have previously bore them. I know a Greek whose name is Nnamdi, in honour of the revered first indigenous Governor-General and first President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. This Greek is the son of late John Mandilas, the erstwhile Chairman of Mandilas Group of Companies. Aside from being given after an achiever of foreign descent, a name could also be given in a foreign language, due mainly to the influence of a foreign language on a local society, thus one can see many Nigerians, especially from the Igbo ethnic nationality and the South-south answering such English names as; Chris, Kenn, Sampson, Valentine, Vincent, Mary, Kate, Evelyn, John, Paul, Peter, Mike, Eric, Margaret, Elizabeth, Glory, Edward, Edmond, Harry, William, Goodleave, Dianna, Dionne, Rita, etc, and some folks from the minority ethnic groups of the Old Eastern Region of Nigeria going by such Igbo names as; Chukwuemeka (I am a good example), Ifeanyichukwu, Uzoma, Chukwuma, Chikaodinaka, Adego, Adanma, Adaku, Adaoma, Azikiwe, Mbadiwe, Iheoma, Ihuoma, etc. Igbo was the second most influential language after English in the entire former Eastern Region of Nigeria. Up until now, the locals in some of the ethnic nationalities in Rivers State use pidgin Igbo interchangeably with pidgin English to transact businesses across ethnic lines in common market overt, e.g. transactions between the Ikwerre and Kalabari locals in all local market overt in the State are still widely conducted through the use of pidgin Igbo and pidgin English. Also one could be fortunate to make a family while sojourning in a foreign land, and as a token of appreciation of the host society in which he/she is living, he/she may give his/her offspring names in the language of his/her host country. Thus you find some Nigerians with such Greek names as; Athina, Vangelis, Kosta, Dimitris, Giota, Angeliki, Niki, or a Greek with a Nigerian name like Nnamdi, or a South-southerner with the names like; Ayodele, Omololu, Ade, Kayode or Musa, or a Jamaican with a Greek name Alethia. (Sis. Alethia a 26 year old vibrant young lady of Jamaican parentage in my Church, just passed on on the 22nd of October 2005. May her soul rest in perfect peace). Our own late great Zik had the names of some of his children in Yoruba. The point I want to establish here is that in our globalised world of unrestricted interdependence, inter-relationship and networking, any human being could be given a name in any language, based however on the concept of that name. That one's name is given in a foreign language, does not ipso facto transfer the citizenship of that country or society in whose language the name is given to the bearer of that name. I'm constrained to place my fingers on the keyboard to produce this piece on this subject-matter because most of all my brothers and sisters of Igbo extraction who have had a need to unreasonably attack the indisputable fact that Ikwerre ethnic nationality is not a part of Igbo, have ludicrously asked me to explain why my name is Chukwuemeka - a name in Igbo language, if I'm not an Igbo. I have tried time without number to explain to them the reason for this. Yet they annoyingly remain adamant. Ironically most of those challenging my citizenship of a non-Igbo ethnic nationality based on my name have their own names in English. They are either called Chris, or Ken, Vincent or Tony, Stan or Peter, Franklyne or Ezekiel. Frankly speaking, I can only remember three of them with their names in Igbo language; Chukwuma, Emenike and Nebukadineze (I don't even know the Igbo meaning of this name). The rest have foreign names. What a contradiction! Another paradox is that virtually all of these folks that ask these laughable, idiotic and manifestly unintelligent question arguably belong to the well-read, well-informed and well-exposed class anywhere, anytime. This is where I'm helplessly bewildered. If it's not a crime for an Igbo to go by an English name, if it sounds plausible for a Nigerian to have his/her name in English, Greek, Russian, Jewish, etc, if it's normal for a Greek to answer an Igbo name, if no eyebrow is raised when a South-southerner has his/her name in Yoruba or Hausa and if it's not a societal taboo for an Igbo to answer a Yoruba name, why, for goodness sake, does it sound superfluous in the ears of the Igbo folks in these fora that an Ikwerre man has his first name in Igbo language? Ladies and Gentlemen, must I be Igbo to have my name in Igbo language? Someone please help out! 1 Like |

Bede2u: Ogbakor Ikwerre is the mouth piece of all Ikwerres and till date, Ogbakor Ikwerre remain a rabidly Igbophobic organisation. They officially endorsed the Bini story and have constantly mocked Ndiigbo in their deliberations. Amaechi, Omehia, Wike and all prominent Ikwerre persons are members of Ogbakor Ikwerre and indeed do finance the organization. Wike not long ago as Amarabae noted invited Oba Bini to PH, where the oba repeated that Ikwerre are Bini descendants with Wike nodding. Wike during Rivers state 50yrs anniversary named a public edifice after Gowon. This is akin to a supposedly Israeli naming an edifice after Hitler. There is no bigger slap to Igbo face from Wike and his Ikwerre people than that. And to rub salt to injury, Wike during his remarks in the event thanked Gowon for liberating them from Ndiigbo. I don't know how else you want Wike and his Bini people to make their stance clear. How much longer do you want us to continue receiving this endless disgrace from these insignificant minority who could not even invent a language of their own but rely on our own language? Ipob deserve all insults they have been getting from Igbo nationalists because they have given too many insignificant minorities down south the impression and impetus to go on embarrassing Ndiigbo, because IPOB can't get a grib of itself and stop it's disgraceful unity begging among these Igbophobic groups. I don't know about you. But in my book, if someone wake up one-day and reject me, I will also reject them and move on. Because the longer you fight for them, the more you create the impression that you can't live without out them and that they are indispensable, to onlookers. This will also make them to develop an over bloated sense of self importance to reject you the more. But if you reject them and move on. You prove to all that they are worthless to you, you find joy and rediscover yourself, you will also discover others who want to identify with you. Tell IPOB to move on from Ikwerre and other minorities and stop disgracing Ndiiigbo and themselves. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
