But they still identify with Ijaws because they are Ijaws, however, due to the proximity, I would say, that clan or sub-group (Egenni) of Ijaws were greatly influenced by other brothers (Edo) from Niger Delta.

Even a toddler would know there's no connection between the Umuahia people and the Fulani they host historically, no resemblance in body features, art, music, culture, language, norms and traditions, gods they worship etc even though they stay in the same land, can you say the same for the so-called original Igbos and the also so-called Igboid southern tribes? They share the same religious beliefs, same market days, same music, art, language, gods, same names etc, we can't just push all this away because of a copied system of rule. Think brother, think!

There is nothing like Igbo incursion in Port Harcourt my friend, you claim this people came from Benin, so safe to say they migrated to Rivers state too? If they spoke Benin when they first landed in Rivers state, so how did they start speaking and answering Igboid names? The only logical explanation then is because they might have met the original indigenous tribes who might have corrupted their tongue. This is if we're to consider the Benin migration crap. With this, I believe your Benin descendants are the expansionist. There's no way a Rumuomasi man will not hear an Emuoha man before....... Therefore, they are Benin descendants... Lol what did I just read? Does this make any sense? Where have you ever seen me claiming Ikwerre? I can claim Port Harcourt and there's nothing anyone can do about it, after all, you came from Benin while I came from Imo and we all landed in the same Port Harcourt Oya show us what the Igbos copied from these nations you just wrote out. Boy you sound so bitter and hateful, why? Like I've been asking you, when the whites came why was the indigenous Igboid cities not practicing Monarchical system of government? Why were dey negotiating with chiefs? I'm asking sensible and genuine questions and you're writing dates with no actual contribution to the discussion at hand. OH thank you for making this easy for me, Nri priest was to Igbos what the pope was to Christians? Exactly bro... But you forgot something, the pope was the King, Bishop, president of a certain country... Rome which controlled much of Europe, he had soldiers under his command throughout Europe (the Crusaders) as a priestly king. This now has been shrink to just the Vatican city which is a country of its own and for Catholic brethren alone. So whoever calls his daughter Nnenna believes in reincarnation? And what exactly is wrong in reincarnation? My God, I might not reply you again because you seem to lack reason! You're too irrational and emotional for my liking. It's good to engage in knowledgeable and educational arguments but you're not giving me anything in return, rather you're taking and exhausting my thought resources. Are you are Christian? Do you know Jews and Christians believe so much in reincarnation more than your average Igbo man? Don't you read in your Bible that Jesus Christ is the Reincarnation of the high and holy priest Melchizedek? Never you try to distort the Igbo ways and traditions, if you lack the knowledge, go and carry out researches. It's always been known by the whole world and even the early white slave traders that the Igbo man cherishes freedom above all things, this is why they revolt whenever they feel shortchanged or degraded, they fight with their lives. The Igbo society right from time was highly DEMOCRATIC and REPUBLICAN, you can find this traits even till today, this is why they didn't believe in giving just one man or family total power, hence not practicing the monarchical system until recently when the British made it necessary for easier ruling of the people. Several foreigners have written about the early Igbos they met and there love for respect and freedom... You don't need to be reminded of the Igbo landing story, it's popular on its unique story. I'm writing this down because future generations will read this, stop your hate filled judgment against the Igbos not like we care but for the sake of your sanity, Truth, and Educational history for the future generations who would see this.

Queenjay002: They may have all these in common but they definitely do not speak the same language. Same way the urhobos and the Isokos do not speak same language but their names sound alike or they most times bear same names and call their God same names doesn’t make them the same tribe. With all due respect to the Isokos and Urhobos, I think these are small tribes that came out of a larger group. They share things in common because they actually came from the same ancestors if you go back in time and that ancestor is part of a larger indigenous Nigerian trbe, we know for sure it can't be same as the Igbos, Igalas, Hausa or something very unfamiliar like the aforementioned tribes, could be Ijaw, Yoruba, Benin? I don't know, but Language structure, name and traditions points towards those zones. There's something called language and also another called dialect. There can be several dialects in a language just like there can be various norms and traditions by certain clans in a community, different peoples and culture, but do we say they're not related because of little variations in dialect and laws? Come on! We do not wish to claim anybody or attach by force like nairalanders would say lol, heck we're one of the largest tribes in Africa just going by the 5 states alone...

There's no way a Rumuomasi man will not hear an Emuoha man before....... Therefore, they are Benin descendants... Lol what did I just read? Does this make any sense?
Where have you ever seen me claiming Ikwerre? I can claim Port Harcourt and there's nothing anyone can do about it, after all, you came from Benin while I came from Imo and we all landed in the same Port Harcourt
Oya show us what the Igbos copied from these nations you just wrote out. Boy you sound so bitter and hateful, why?
Like I've been asking you, when the whites came why was the indigenous Igboid cities not practicing Monarchical system of government? Why were dey negotiating with chiefs? I'm asking sensible and genuine questions and you're writing dates with no actual contribution to the discussion at hand.
OH thank you for making this easy for me, Nri priest was to Igbos what the pope was to Christians? Exactly bro... But you forgot something, the pope was the King, Bishop, president of a certain country... Rome which controlled much of Europe, he had soldiers under his command throughout Europe (the Crusaders) as a priestly king. This now has been shrink to just the Vatican city which is a country of its own and for Catholic brethren alone.
So whoever calls his daughter Nnenna believes in reincarnation? And what exactly is wrong in reincarnation? My God, I might not reply you again because you seem to lack reason! You're too irrational and emotional for my liking. It's good to engage in knowledgeable and educational arguments but you're not giving me anything in return, rather you're taking and exhausting my thought resources. Are you are Christian? Do you know Jews and Christians believe so much in reincarnation more than your average Igbo man? Don't you read in your Bible that Jesus Christ is the Reincarnation of the high and holy priest Melchizedek?
Never you try to distort the Igbo ways and traditions, if you lack the knowledge, go and carry out researches. It's always been known by the whole world and even the early white slave traders that the Igbo man cherishes freedom above all things, this is why they revolt whenever they feel shortchanged or degraded, they fight with their lives. The Igbo society right from time was highly DEMOCRATIC and REPUBLICAN, you can find this traits even till today, this is why they didn't believe in giving just one man or family total power, hence not practicing the monarchical system until recently when the British made it necessary for easier ruling of the people. Several foreigners have written about the early Igbos they met and there love for respect and freedom... You don't need to be reminded of the Igbo landing story, it's popular on its unique story. I'm writing this down because future generations will read this, stop your hate filled judgment against the Igbos not like we care but for the sake of your sanity, Truth, and Educational history for the future generations who would see this.
Igbos always had a choice, has a choice and always will have choices! You finished that hater. He doesn't know that only him believes his own lies. The records about Igbos are intact and will always secure us victory when the time comes. |

Anyone can claim whatever they want (self determination) that's the beauty of that Igbo bloodline, but have at least a logical backup for your claims and not lying and turning history, common sense and logic upside down just to suite your hate filled narrative.

Where exactly are you from? You haven't answered my question.
There is nothing like Igbo incursion in Port Harcourt my friend, you claim this people came from Benin, so safe to say they migrated to Rivers state too? If they spoke Benin when they first landed in Rivers state, so how did they start speaking and answering Igboid names?

Igbos always had a choice, has a choice and always will have choices! Before the British came and started throwing Igbo people across Nigeria, people were indigenous to certain places. If they moved, they moved to their Kith and kin or naturalized. Until colonialism became a thing there were no Igbo inhabitants of present day Rivers state. If you as an Igbo should not be treated as an outsider, then the Fulani are even more indigenous to Umuahia and Enugu than you Igbos. The first mayor of Enugu was a Fulani man. Fulani people have been trading in Umuahia before Nigeria became a colony. If not that the Igbos were forced out of places like Zungeru, Igbos would have been claiming ownership and calling the indigenous people tenants. It is unfortunate the Ijaw people didn't act like the Northerners did in the 1940s, 1960s, 1990s. If only Ijaw people had behaved like Awolowo in the 1960s we wouldn't be having this conversation. As you Igbos like troubling people in their lands. Anything una take eye see make una no complain. There is a difference between incarnation and reincarnation. Incarnation is when a spirit takes a human body while reincarnation is when a dead person is believed to come back as a baby. When the Whites came there were no Igboid cities. Even during the war the White people referred to Ojukwu as the person who would finally bring civilisation to Igboland. The colonial government had to beg Enugu indigene to please wear clothes for the independence ceremony. It was common for people to walk naked in Enugu in 1960 so how can such people has cities? People who lacked basic organisational skills. You just displayed your ignorance on the papacy. You probably confused the papacy with the Holy Roman Empire. The Pope was never an European monarch. As religious leader he played an important role in the coronation of European monarchs who were Catholics. When King Henry cut off ties with catholic church there was nothing the pope could do. The Nri were Igala and not Igbo. They were respected in Igboland because the Igala had an organised system in place. They had to move around as mobile judges/courts to settle scores in the Igbo heartland were things were dysfunctional. 1. The Igbos copied the red cap from Kanuri. 2. The cap on the 50 Naira note Igbos copied it from Ijaw priests. 3. The material called Feni the Igbo are copying and trying very hard to rename it Isi agwu, they copied from the Ijaw. 4. You Igbo have copied beads from Urhobo, Ijaw and Bini people. 5. Copied George wrapper from the Ijaw 6. Copied Ogele from Ijaw and renamed it Ogere 7. Copied Bini bridal procession. 8. You Igbo copied monarchy from all over Nigeria. That is why your so called monarchs are confused. Some dress like Yoruba, others like Bini, some are dressing wives like Bini women, etc. 1 Like |

I saw this since yesterday and I have been contemplating if to reply you or not, why? Because you sound so hateful, bitter, unintelligent, uninformed, dishonest and oblivious of your immediate environment.
Now let me ask you, where exactly are you from? State and tribe? What level of research have you carried out about the southern tribes? Igbo had no kings? Partly true but we know they had priestly kings or leader which they referred to as Ezenmuo, with actual real kingdoms of which the oldest in Nigeria happen to be the Nri kingdom in Igboland.
Igbo had no king and the rest of the Igboid southern groups had? Don't make me laugh.
Do you know how the name Ikwerre was gotten? When the whites first came to Port Harcourt and wanted to acquire bases who did they meet? Did they meet a king or council of elders? Answer this shamelessly!
They met with the Ndiwe Ali (chiefs) and when the question was asked, do you accept to give us this property? And they said "anyi kwerre" this highlited word was used very often and therefore was used to address this new people by the whites.
Reincarnation, really? What dumber excuse can you give? Give me an example of a tribe in the world that doesn't believe in reincarnation. Believing in reincarnation is a personal thing, not even my parents can tell me to believe in it if I don't fancy such a concept.
Give an Example of a culture the Igbos borrowed or remain foolishly silent!
What do you know about Port Harcourt mugu? My great grandfather already had buildings in Diobu during his time, most of his friends family then (early settlers) are now referred to as the ikwerre. I love Imo and will forever claim to be Imo.
Who exactly do you think is indigenous to Port Harcourt? What do you know about the complexity of the ikwerre dialect in Rivers state? A Rumuomasi man would easily understand an Igbo man before an Emuoha man who is also ikwerre.
What is your tribe I ask again? Engage me with facts and not based on your pathetic and hate filled emotions. Fantastic reply. That boy is dump. He doesn't that before this present age, more than 80% of the world population believe in reincarnation. The part where he said that Ndigbo borrows culture, shows that he is hateful and stupid the same time. 2 Likes |

Most of the Southern ethnic nations don't share anything with you Igbos!
In Southern Nigeria the Igbo are the only ones without monarchs. You are the only ones who believed in reincarnation as a normal process. Since the 60s you have been adopting cultures from across Nigeria instead of retaining your unique Igbo culture. Just like the Fulani man in Umuahia, you have no business in Port Harcourt or Rivers state, you have your state of origin. If you had respected yourself and didn't try to insult Igbo you would have been a saner person on this platform. Now, look at how hurt and humiliated you sound on every Igbo issue. Like I advised you long ago to pick your fight but you want be stubborn....I have been reading your comments on this forum and at every turn you make it a point of duty to insult Igbo. |
