Myhusband:



If your story is true, it is very cruel of Iggbo that subject your ethnicity under such inhumane act

Does what he wrote make sense to you? their wives change their language, culture, tradition, names and everything, have you heard of such thing before? use your God given brain

ribbit:
you woukd think they are attaching themselves to ikwere people because they love them but nope..

They have refused to develop their 5 plots of land because they lack the mental capacity to do it.
So they started attaching themselves to every igboish sounding name in south south because of oil and port harcout.

It's totally shameful.

So where is develop in Nigeria tell me develop place in Nigeria?

oz4real83:
you have understanding problem, is it not obvious that Etche and Ngwa also migrated from Bini as already clarified in the post

Ikwerre is now the mouthpiece of Etche and Ngwa people, Aba is Ngwa if you don't know the rubbish coming out of your mouth

LadyExcellency:
They deny affiliation with Igbos but claim they are siblings with Ngwas, Etches etc from the same Igbo tribes. How is that possible?

it means to say that etches and ngwas are descendants of the great bini.
Even onitsha wad founded by the binis.

All the Ngwa lands belong to ikwerre. The Ngwas migrated and grabbed all the land and settled down.

In 1896, the Ngwas who were living together with the Etches had a communal clash which forced the Ngwas to separate from the Etches

Now in 1913, the Ngwas decided to join the Eadtern Region while Iwhurohna, Etche decided to remain on their own.

In conclusion, all Ngwa land in Abia state belong to ikwerre

Remman:
Where then in Igbo that the Ikwerres come from? It's not just by saying vague words. In the case where you have seven sons and the seven of them married from yoruba because they can't marry their own sisters who would eventually be married away by other strangers, in whose language would the children of your seven sons who would inherit the land speak?

Where is a geographical location which is totally not going to apply in this kind of arguement . As it is today a yoruba man can not birth 5 children from an igbo wife and not give any of the children a yoruba name . If the ikwerres were bini what were their bini name or which of the brothers has bini name? Because from the lists of the brothers they mentioned all has igboid names, so aside geographical location no other evidence that points that they were binis . DNA can also put this kind of arguement to an end. Its not about saying ikwerres are not igbos when so many facts are saying otherwise . Lets put aside names which place do you see men practicing the culture of the woman they married? This guys practically practice everything igboid, or do you want to argue that the binis has no culture as at then or did the igbo ladies they married came with their cultures to influence the bini culture? Binis has very strong cultural heritage and has stayed for centuries.

Paraman:
Ikwerres are not igbos

E don pain you tire say Okwere an Igbo and still Dey Ohanaeze Indigbo

africanusvu:

I think you ate wrong Ewedu mix with over rotten Gbegiri

LadyExcellency:
If Etche and Ngwas are Igbos then logically Ikwerres are Igbos.

ahh....this is the modified ad hominem:

It could also mean Etche and Ngwa are not Igbos or the Igbos are Benin. Remember Onitsha is Benin.

Remman:
Intermarriage happens everywhere, since we settled closer to the igbos, our ancestors married Igbo daughters to avoid marrying their own siblings and somehow the Igbo daughters married into our land taught their children the Igbo language. And this practice happens till date where children found themselves speaking their mother's language. If the Igbos claim we came from them, let's hear their own Kanu and Ojukwu story about the ancestors of Ikwerres. Before the civil war, the Igbos came to settle in Ikwerre land and began to rename our streets bearing our true ancestral names to their language names. Now during the civil war they killed us and did a lot of evil to us whom they now claim is their brothers (since they're unaware of the language-work of their daughters married by our ancestors). Now, when the war was intensified, they ran away (why would they run if they owned the place?). When we saw how we were tricked by those tribes, we took back our properties they stole from us, we won the battle.

Lies and Propaganda!!

You're not an Ikwerre!!

You're a Yoruba Muslim.No Ikwerre will talk this thrash against his Igbo cousins..

No Ikwerre will seek to REWRITE history against the Igbos....for they now have realised how the Hausa-fulani millitary used DIVIDE and CONQUER tactics to create ethnic tensions between cousins!!

By the way,Ken Saro-Wiwa and his people(not Ikwerres) were the ones who spear-headed the attacks and seizures of Igbo properties during the war!!

But las las,how market?

To you TRIBAL AND RELIGIOUS BIGOTS and to my fellow yoruba muslims(Thankfully not ALL) try and free yourselves from being obsessed with Igbos so your life and this country will move forward...

Please realise that what you are doing is witchcraft and demonism...that is what is tying Nigeria down!!

f not,things will surely continue to get worse in this country..

attache by force stop all these show of desperation forcing yourselves on someone who has openly denied that he has no ties with you.
During the Civil war, Biafran soldiers invaded Rivers State, killed Ikwerre indigenes and renamed the towns and survivors with igbo names and engaged on ethnic cleansing of the Ikwerres

Gerhards:






He's a son of coward called Afon-/ja

I'm not surprised... His obsession with Ndigbo is unreal. I couldn't imagine spending my free time watching pan-Yoruba videos on YouTube .

Ikwerre people said they are from Daura or Mushin in Lagos.

Whalis:

Wikipedia lies can be written by anyone including you. If you want to know a people hear from them. This was how Igbos would write any ikwerre community before and attach Igbo to it. You would see things like Ikwerre-Igbo.
Have you seen Ngwa-Igbo before or Nkwerre-igbo or Obowu-Igbo? But as they knew ikwerre is not Igbo they would write ikwerre and attach Igbo to it.

All of you that have been trying to divide Igbo with your divide and rule syndrome will no work, we know who we are and cannot be divided

AmazingELixir:


The former Minister of Transportation said, “Ikwerre people should tell who they are and ignore all the stories being written about them. We will tell our story. Those who will play politics in Ikwerre land will project the image of the Ikwerre wherever they find themselves.”

This same Ubima lizard that went on air to proclaim he is ibo just to curry political support...ofcourse he would not turn up to the event...How would he spin this one when he has dropped a mighty poop on the pulpit.

Fear who no fear politicians.

stop believing what you read online. Can you show me any part of the article that claims Ikwerre are not Igbo nor have any link with south east?

muhammaduyusufu:

Does Bini traditional oral history has this account?

Gerhards:





What kind of influence can make group of people to forget their language, tradition, culture and names, this is so funny, Ngwa people you always called human eater here on Nairaland is no longer Igbos but Ikwerres, sick people full this country

You lack comprehension, I never spoke about Ngwa people or Ikwerres. I was talking to the other poster about Agbor, Igbankes and Iselle uku. I have head about their origins from both the locals and the binis.

Ikwerre... Am 39 years old and today is my first time to write nor type the word ikwerre, the fact and truth is that ikwerre are also looking at state creation just as ANIOMA Is pushing to get its homogeneous state, now they have remembered that ngwa and etche are their siblings... Nigerians dont reason fast, they now need those to make a state with becos of fear of minority status

The most stupid thing i've ever seen in Igbos is forcing people who hate u to be a part of them.

I will NEVER support Biafra unless its among the 5 eastern states.

Anselemchi:
Nigeria major languages are classified into three wa for Yoruba and related , zo for Hausa and related bia for Igbo and related,
Once u said bia for come u re Igbo, irrespective of oil, politics and location,
Igbo is a nation of many dialect in Enugu alone their about 54 dialect, there is nothing that makes someone from Anambra more Igbo than someone from Rivers , Delta Ebonyi or even Abia, every language have dialects it's in Yoruba , Hausa

Come to Igbo Nsuska has their dialect, Ezza has nkanu has Nike, nnewi , Ngwa ohafia Akpugo etc but what's make one Igbo is found in culture , mode of dressing, deity, market days, names food and dialect similarity if Igbo , I am an Ezza man and 98 percent of ikwerre language(dialect) is d same as mine I can speak it without stress

Does any Igbo community use Va for come?

Remman:
Simply, the Igbos invaded our land. That's what invaders do, they force their names and religion on you. If you doubt, go and ask the north who were invaded by Fulanis who forced Islam on them and today almost all of them bears the name Alhaji, Muhammad, etc. (invaded religious related names). The Igbos all ran away at the heat of the civil war and their evil plot failed. We the indigenes stayed and defended our land.

There was no invasion in the North. Stop saying what you do not know. The jihad that started in 1804 was supported by majority Hausas.
Now can you point to any historical records of when Ikwerreland was invaded by Igbos. I've not read that anywhere

004gist:


If he should carry drug now u will call him igbo.

They should develop another language and name and stop answering igbo names

Exactly. They can't keep playing these chameleon tricks. Let them be a distinct minority group with no links to the Igbo ethnic group.

The funniest aspect of the news is that those making the disclaimer bears Igbo names 😂

Slytiger:
Good one from the Ikwerre elders. Just hearing the facts of how they migrated from Bini.

AFTER YOU FINISH WRITING GOOD ONE JUST BECAUSE THEY DENY BEING IGBO PEOPLE, PLEASE DO US A FAVOUR, COME AND CARRY THEM FROM OUR LAND TO SW REGIONS.


IF YOU FAIL IN THAT TASK THAT IS WHEN YOU KNOW IN THIS LIFE, YOU CAN NEVER ATTAIN GREATNESS.



YOUR HEART IS FULL OF EVIL.

You are the one who actually have comprehension issues, go and open another thread for Agbor, Igbankes and Iselle uku.

Slytiger:

The binis i read conquered territories upto Nupe kingdom but discouraged conquered territories from speaking bini dialect; if not you'd have seen bini influence from onitsha to Minna.

fnep2smooth:
what oil can cause does not exist, see etche way i dey use leg waka enter go buy cassava for fufu that year. people way dey speak igbo , people way de practices igbo, culture and tradition na igbo. just because of oil, them dey deny their root. i dare not tell my ikewerre GF say se no be igbo.


I no sabi waytin igbo do some people , truly success comes with a lot of hate jealously and envy.

You were making sense ( to yourself tho) until you scored an own goal @bolded
On the contrary, success attracts people to you even if they are jealous and envious of you. You cant call yourself successful if people keep running away from you and dissociating themselves from anything that has to do with you. Chidi, I'm not calling you a failure o but common sense tells us that nobody associates with failure

Anselemchi:
my dear oil won't be there for long, political persecution won't last forever, I fear for what there next generation will inherit, nothing like attachment , they are of no benefit to me, we shouldn't rewrite history because of instant benefit

I'm not interested in the politics behind it
I'm actually interested in the historicity
Whether they are igbo or not is not important in the larger scheme of things but I believe as Africans we should at least get our history right

They preferred to be affiliated with their brothers from Edo land. Which is better for them, people should stop dragging other tribes to their ethnic.
