Telling Bini migrants to claim their heritage and declare themselves Bini people? Isnt that what they should do? Ikwerre people are Bini people, they have said they migrated from Bini, now let them declare themselves as such rather than this deceit of claiming what they are not

What deceit? It’s unfortunate that you Igbo people claim to be widely travelled and intelligent but this doesn’t reflect in your reasoning and attitude because you don’t learn anything but spread hatred, criminality and stupidity in the places that you go.

Ikwerre is a distinct ethnic group that trace their origin to somewhere else just like many other ethnic groups but have evolved. Reasonable people respect this except Igbo people….

I recently met a Ghana girl who told me how Igbo people she met were harassing her telling her she’s Igbo because her surname sounds Igbo. This girl is from Twi tribe and she says they trace their history to Dahomey after initially migrating from Benin. She’s from Twi tribe for God’s sake and everyone respects this except Igbo people. Why not you trace your history to neanderthals so you can include all the over 300 tribes in Nigeria…yeye pipo!

Stop disgracing yourself on Nairaland nobody will do what you just said, stop the useless propaganda, what is the Ikwerres forefathers language and tradition? every tribe in Nigeria has a tradition and language and nobody fall from the sky, what stop your forefathers from speaking Benin Language? you will avoid this questions coward

This is laughable, its like saying that a group of Igbos migrated from Igbo land to Kano, and after a while, the same Igbos and their children start to claim to be a "distinct' ethnic group. Isnt that laughable?

You know your origins but claim to be distinct? You migrated from Bini but claim to have since created a new language, culture and are now distinct? Who is fooling who?

Ikwerre people are Bini people, and they should own up to their heritage rather than the deceit that they are a seperate ethnic group. Someone from Bini is distinct?

No be laughing kookaburra ona be? Why would you stop laughing.

Ikwerre people do not owe you anything.

Any sensible person would concentrate on talking about his own history rather poking their nose into what doesn’t concern them. Wether Ikwerre is Benin or not how is that your business when you are neither Ikwerre nor Benin. Keep wasting your time on nairaland and other platforms talking about Ikwerre people IT WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING.

I am a proud Igbo man and i will always proud of my language and my tribe, don't you think it is necessary and proud to have your language and tradition? perhaps why don't Ikwerres borrow Hause or fulani language? you guys are so shameless

The Ikwerre people speak Ikwerre language (which has about 5 dialects ) and practice their Tradition.

Some Igbo clans speak dialects that may be partially mutually intelligible with the Ikwerre Language while other Igbo clans may not hear at all...this only show that some Igbo clans and Ikwerre may be related but not necessarily mean that Ikwerre is part of the Igbo ethnic group or not.

Examples of this nature abound all over the world e.g France & Navarra, Portugal & Spain, Austria & Germany, ,Urhobo & Isoko, Efik & Ibiobio, Yoruba & Ogori/Mangogo etc

Bros, you have no right to tell anybody let alone any ethnic group what to do or how to behave.

Ikwerre speak their language and practice their culture, that some Igbo clans may under part of this doesn't change anything.

Ethnic groups are MAN-MADE construct and except in sparsely populated deserts, it is often difficult to determine where one ethnic group ends and where another start. There are always areas of overlap.

Travel to other parts of the world or read widely to understand that this is a worldwide phenomenon.

Fedora na Ijaw language?

was it God that named it fedora?
it because people like you called it fedora that's why it is now look as if fedora is it name.

Why are you mentioning me up and down? You keeping forcing yourselves on the ikwerres,yet they keep denying you times and times again.

IkeIgboNiile:
These confused clowns 🤡. My ikwerre gf had an igbo mother and an igbo step mom and can't stop dancing whenever she hears Oriental brothers playing.

What are you saying, Ikwere is igbo. The Ikwerre (natively known as Iwhuruọha) is one of the Igbo subgroups in Rivers State.

chrisxxx:

You may be an Ikwerre man. If you understand the language very well.
Spain and Portugal speak similar language but different people. Ukraine and Poland, Malaysia and Indonesia, Denmark and Sweden including Finland, Urhobo and Isoko, Yorubas and Itshekiri and so on. What is wrong with you Igbos?
Ikwerres don't speak same dialect.
Port Harcourt Ikwerre dialects differ so much with Ikwerre LGA dialects. Emuoha speak a different Ikwerre dialect that may be difficult for you to pick.

Ikwere is not a tribe, but a sub-group of igbo.

Even as small as Abia is, they have different language in igbo. An ikwere man is igbo by tribe. He can choose not to identify with that as well.

Ikwere is a clan and not big enough to be a tribe.
If Ijaw or any other group threaten them, is when you will realise because they are running all the way for support from their people in SE region. As of today, Ikwere depend on Igbo vote every election.



Seun helps to FP this debate for good old time nairaland intractions.

Oga,ikwerres is about 2 mil in population.they are bigger than over 100 ethnicities in nigeria.my own ethnicity is less than 500k

Most of them are stark illiterates. Ikwerre is even bigger than some countries like Equatorial Guinea, Garbon, Gambia etc. and these are countries with multi ethnic groups. Someone sits down with techno phone under pawpaw tree in his village in Idemili, and be telling others who they are or should be.

Funny that even the Fulani and Hausa do not display this level of desperate idiocy shown by these people.

Tranquill:


Suffer man want to help Ikwerre person...munmun smelly criminal people that come online to make all kinds of claims.
There is no real Ikwerre person that will claim Igbo whether within or outside Nigeria but you imbes come online to unleash your wicked mouth odor with false claims. Go tell your parents to tell you the truth about what you call abandoned property. They should tell you about the land they were using their control of the eastern government to steal and give only to Igbos in perpetuity which they used government money that was being given to only Igbo people as "loan" that was never to be repaid through ACB, to develop. It is the criminality of your forefathers that you have inherited till today. Go and help your suffering self first and try to become useful to the society instead of the smelly nuisance that you are...

Change your weed supplier, this strain isn't good for U.
Obi Wali from (R)umu Igbo is current Ohaneze deputy president of Ohaneze Ndigbo.
Chibuike Amaechi has been shouting he is Igbo.
Uche Okwukwu was former Ohaneze sec gen.
But a nonentity like you go come online de spill rubbish.

Who's Obi Wali's son and Uche Okwukwu in Ikwerreland shameless pi.g?

If you like sublet your ohaneze to some unknown quantities claiming they are Igbo, who cares!

From what your saying, it implies the ikwere were removed from port harcourt which i find hard to believe.
