Ikwerre is not Igbo just as Igbos are not Ikwerres. Just as Yorubas and Bini share some similarities that is same with Ikwerres and Igbos. I am Ikwerre and have done extensive research on this.
The same way igbos ha e different dialects is the same Ikwerres have. We dont speak the same dialect. We have over 10 dialects just as igbos.
Why do some Ikwerres claim to be Igbos?
Good question. The Arochukwu Confederacy had Ikwerre land under its influence. They are generally called Arnu people in Ikwerre land. They were mainly the Igbo people who maltreated the Ikwerres and made an average Ikwerre man to despise igbos. But liberation from the neocolonialism came during the civil war. At the fall of Biafra the Arnu people were targeted by some Ikwerre Communities that had hosted for years. This made them to abandon this area and headed towards Igbo mainland. Others were not attacked but out of fear of their past to their neighborhood absconded as well. However when some got to boundary communities like Isiokkpo and Elele some lenient Ikwerre men gave them refuge. This was so particularly as many of them didn't even know their home of origin in Igbo land. Among these communities that gave them land to stay they still see them as non indigenes. The Arnu descendants of these towns are the Ikwerres who make case that Ikwerre is Igbo. I have just revealed the findings of my investigation.
Amaechi might be a descendant of the Arnus. In that case he is an Ikwerre person as a result of his grandparents settlement and an Igbo man by ancestry..
Thanks.

Good day everyone.

As we all know, the current minister of transportation has recently announced his intention to run for the seat of Nigeria President.

Prior to his declaration, there have been series of lobbying and plea from the South East geopolitical zone and various Igbo socio-political group for the need for an Igbo man to become the President of this nation to further cement the unity of the country. This demand is a very legitimate demand which I support.

This brings me to ask : Does an Amaechi's Presidency qualify as an Igbo Presidency considering that his state of origin belongs to the South South geopolitical zone? Although he believes/claims that he (Amaechi) is an Igbo man.

Is an average Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi, Abia, Enugu man okay with Amaechi being the beneficiary of the demand and clamour for an Igbo Presidency?

After an Amaechi's Presidency (if it happens), will the call for an Igbo Presidency decline?

DontBullshitMe:

I don't understand your second question.

His name is Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi. I believe the Chibuike there is an Igbo name.

PrinceOfLagos:

Shut up and stop talking nonsense
Eb
Amaechi younger brother's name is Uchenna

Why Igbo names if he's not Igbo according to you ?
Ikwere no get dia own name aside Igbo name?

colonelwealth:



No need to engage you with counter arguments and proofs but don't mislead the unsuspecting public pls.
If you guy deny your heritage and choose to be a different tribe ..good& supported but don't twist things.

However, same Ikweres shouldn't claim Igbos at anytime later, Igbos too are learning to allow any group be what they want.

When next situations arise that may call things to question, remember to stand your ground based on your beliefs including educating Nigerians that the persons with Igbo name who break the law from your side are Igbos.
So that another Maj. Kaduna Nzogwu doesn't doesn't arise.

You see you cannot trust Amaechi...
A minister who cannot manage his ministry successfully, all the railways he built with Chinese loan are just white elephant projects to embezzle money.


The railways have not in any way benefit Nigerians or improve the nation's economy.

He said he was not contesting and suddenly he came out to declare his ambition, is that one trustworthy ?

He paid one man online , the man said if Amaechi doesn't contest he would commit suicide , because Amaechi is god or what ?

Let's check his track record as governor and as minister , is he worth voting for ?

If buhari supports him at all, it's because he financed buhari's election with Rivers money . I am of the opinion that buhari cannot reward amachu with the nation's treasury just because he is loyal slave .

Buhari's opinion on who becomes the president will not count if he support the wrong candidate.

Do not let us be bewitched.

I think its important to note that the Presidency of Nigeria rotates by geopolitical zone, not tribe. If the Presidency was about tribe, it will have to rotate amongst the 300 tribes in Nigeria, and thats not practical

Having said that, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is one of those Ikwerre men who does not deny being Igbo. But he is from the South/South

Should Amaechi become President, he will be representing the South/South Presidency even though he is Igbo.

What this means is that while Amaechi is Igbo, the South East will lay claim to Presidency next time it rotates to the South as it would be the only zone in the South yet to produce the President

OkwuEziokwu:


Why are you so pressed about our culture and people, Stranger? What manner of curse are you under?

KosiGee:


“Our culture”?? Which culture? Ikwerre culture or Igbo culture??

What’s your moniker? ‘OkwuEziokwu’!!!

Nwokem are you telling yourself the truth? Do you really believe that Amaechi is an Igbo man? Do you see Amaechi as an honest person?

Mepe anya gi, open your eyes.

Gwa onwe gi ezi okwu.

KosiGee:


Amaechi is not an Igbo man. Don’t be deceived by all those bullshiitt he’s been saying and all the claims of being Igbo.
Ikwerres said that they are not Igbo. Respect that.
Amaechi is not an Igbo man. He is Wike’s brother from Benin. Know this and know peace.

gidgiddy:


Not all Ikwerres deny being Igbo. The current vice President of Ohanaeze is an Ikwerre man called Ihunwo Obi Wali. The immediate past Secretary General of Ohanaeze was an Ikwerre man called Uche Okwukwu.

But whether Amaechi is an Igbo man or not is not the issue. The Presidency of Nigeria rotates on geopolitical zone, not tribe. If we start rotating Presidency based on tribe, by the time it takes the 300 tribes in Nigeria to do one term, it will take over one thousand years.

So if Amaechi becomes President, he will be doing a South/South Presidency. This means that the South East can still go for the Presidency when it rotates back to the South, having not yet produced the President

You guys are just too fixed. You have a dictator mindset. No Ikwerre man who doesn't have Arnu origin would ever claim Igbo. Even some of those we know with Arnu origin try to hide it. Ikwerres of Arnu origin may claim igbos as well. Although their parentage population is not more than 1% of the Ikwerre population.
You guys should see Ikwerre people as Yorubas see Bini. They don't claim them to be Yorubas. They see them as one and brothers. If Ikwerres had got the population of the igbos with 5 states and igbos the population of Ikwerre, igbos wouldn't agree to be Ikwerres. Etche people in Rivers State have a lot in common with the Ikwerres but we don't claim them. We only see them as brothers.

The same way igbos ha e different dialects is the same Ikwerres have. We dont speak the same dialect. We have over 10 dialects just as igbos.

Good question. The Arochukwu Confederacy had Ikwerre land under its influence. They are generally called Arnu people in Ikwerre land. They were mainly the Igbo people who maltreated the Ikwerres and made an average Ikwerre man to despise igbos. But liberation from the neocolonialism came during the civil war. At the fall of Biafra the Arnu people were targeted by some Ikwerre Communities that had hosted for years. This made them to abandon this area and headed towards Igbo mainland. Others were not attacked but out of fear of their past to their neighborhood absconded as well. However when some got to boundary communities like Isiokkpo and Elele some lenient Ikwerre men gave them refuge. This was so particularly as many of them didn't even know their home of origin in Igbo land. Among these communities that gave them land to stay they still see them as non indigenes. The Arnu descendants of these towns are the Ikwerres who make case that Ikwerre is Igbo. I have just revealed the findings of my investigation.
Amaechi might be a descendant of the Arnus. In that case he is an Ikwerre person as a result of his grandparents settlement and an Igbo man by ancestry..
Thanks.
