OfoIgbo: Under no circumstances should Ikwerres be accepted as Igbos ever again. That would be a foolish move. You don't accept opportunist who only identify with you when the going is good, but not only deny you, but become chief leader of hostilities, lies and calumny against you, when you are down. An example should be made of Ikwerres, to ensure that no other Igbo group tries to leave the Igbo Union when the going goes tough in the future. That's how you do things. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Igboid: Under normal circumstances, what you proposed above is the way to handle such a thing. In fact, every fibre in me wants something more hardline. But I have to respect those few Ikwerres who are die-hard Igbos. You know that those sort of Ikwerres will never be given any publicity. The powers that be, will always promote the anti-Igbo Ikwerres. Believe you me, I know some of these Ikwerres on a one on one basis, who are highly disappointed at their people for their treachery towards the Igbos The way to be fair to them, is to leave an opening that allows Ikwerres back into the fold. However, all the anti-Igbo Ikwerres will be made to go into political. social and cultural oblivion (if you know what I mean), while the steadfast pro-Igbo Ikwerres who have always been with us, through thick and thin, will be promoted and recognized and legitimised as the true leaders of the Ikwerre people. Otherwise we will be cutting our nose, to spite our face. We mustn't be so annoyed that we "kill off" our true brothers. |

OfoIgbo: Nwanne! You are still blaming others for Ikwerre Igbophobia. You wrote this as "Powers that be". No powers that be made Ikwerre Igbophobic. The civil war ended 50yrs ago. Ikwerres have been in charge of Rivers state since 13yrs plus now. They are not answerable to any power. They could be anything they want to be, yet they chose to be rabidly Igbophobic. They have only gotten worse in their Igbophobia culminating with Wike naming a structure in Ikwerrelamd after Gowon. It doesn't get more provocative than that. There should be no gloves worn with how Ndiigbo handle this Ikwerre challenge, there shouldn't be room for sentiments and emotions. Our reaction must be cold and stoic sans feelings. Ikwerre are not our Kins. I feel for few of them who are proudly Igbos. But there is nothing we can do about it. It so happens that few must pay for the sins of many. Ikwerre is not part of Igbo body. They are not Igbos. So the issue of bitting the nose to spite the face don't arise. And you got it wrong. I'm by no means angry with Ikwerres. I understand they are putting their own interests first irrespective of the harm such interests might be putting on Ndiigbo. In similar token, it's our obligation to put Igbo interests first and foremost, even if it meant Ikwerre extinction, so far as Igbo interests are protected, then I see no problem with it. The above is how the rest of Nigeria relate with Ndiigbo and if we hope to compete favorably in this fiercely competitive situation, we must imbibe same disposition, irrespective of who is involved, as far as they are not Igbos. The Ikwerres who are claiming Igbos should be expelled from Igbo unions and sent home to deal with their people. Their personal issues should not supersede Igbo nationalist interests. We need a strong leadership. ![]() 8 Likes 1 Share |

hammer8: .Typical Igbo coward. It is in your DNA to be permanent cowards. Even Jaja of Opobo the Igbo slave who was lucky to have kingship thrown on his lap disappointed his subjects with cowardice just like Ojuku,KANU. .... Oko Jumbo and other chiefs of the rival Mannila House almost immediately began to plot his downfall. Knowing that Jaja had accumulated a lot of resources but had not yet acquired enough arms and ammunition, they declared war on Jaja and the Anna Pepple House. Jaja had tried every thing possible to avert war but his opponents knew he was unprepared for war and moved in to subdue him. He quickly surrendered to the consternation of both the British consul and his opponents. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/03/igbo-politics-nigeria/amp/ 1 Like |

Ikwerres have the wealthiest LGA in Nigera and that is a fact. There was even a thread here on NL to that effect but you can look it up. @ your last sentence, ikwerre LGAs are currently "helping" hundreds of LGA in Nigeria including your 90+ SE LGAs. Everyone knows that. Now let me ask you, what exactly can ikwerre benefit from the SE? Name them....i await your response. Igboid: 1 Like |

Igboid: I am not blaming others for the Igbophobia observed in Ikwerreland. I only made the point that anti-Igbo Ikwerres, are the ones supported by outsiders who wish to undermine Ndigbo. These are two totally different things. Now, with regards to Igbo interest, which you profess, we should all protect. Don't you think it is in Igbo interest to have up to two sea ports instead of one seaport? We already know that Obuaku port will always be an Igbo seaport if it gets constructed. Constructing seaports at Bonny or/and Opobo will require an extra level of work to make it work, because these two places are effectively islands, and basically cut off from the mainly, which means there should be plans in place to move cargoes from such ports to inland locations. So realistically, the only other place to have an ideal inland seaport is PH. With this in mind, it still makes sense (and is in Igbo interest) to accept the Ikwerre into the Igbo fold, once they make a genuine and overwhelming move to join the other Igbos. As I proposed earlier on, the cavaet is that it must be an overwhelming move championed by a generally accepted Ikwerre umbrella organisation, and the fact that after such a move, all those Ikwerres that were dancing naked in the public to scorn the Igbos (Wike included), will be made unfit for any purpose either within Ikwerre or in the general Igbo world. It also won't hurt the Igbo interest to increase the Igbo headcount by a few hundreds of thousands, while at the same time, displaying some fairness and brotherliness to those Ikwerres that have stuck with us through thick and thin Remember it is all about the Igbo interest. Nothing personal, simply business. I believe Igbo interest will be enhanced if we play the ball well, otherwise, they can stick with the different ethnic identity that some of them are seeking. I agree totally with the need for a strong and uncompromising Igbo leadership. Not the wimps we have at the moment |
