U must be an Ikwerre man or from Rivers State to know this. Ikwerre people had them in multitude. Then how would someone come to call you same people you sold as slaves in the time past? It is only recently that Ikwerre ladies started to marry Ibos. Just in the nineties and upward. It is rare before 90s to see any Ikwerre lady married to an Igbo man. We see them as slaves even till tomorrow. And that is why we call them Isuoma. Isuoma in Ikwerre means Good Slave. We have this believe that they are very obedient and hardworking slaves.

Did the European explorers ever mentioned you at any point with any importance ? Console yourself with that concocted rubbish.

Which culture...you guys both males and females dance with your buttocks shaking like a whhore....You have no system of aristocracy.
What nonsense culture are you talking about?

We rejected an Ikwerre suitor recently who came for marriage. Bini slave , I am from Nri-Awka region...ezi offia that drool over Igbo women..

aribisala0:
This is a well known fact
I wonder what Isuoma means in Eboe language

You wonder what yarriba means , too.

Ask your little friend to show you Ikwerre dance....lmao

Niggas dancing like bitcches...lol

What is Ikwerre history and importance....they are just majority in Rivers State , shikena. Very underachieving bunch

agadez007:
I agree with everything you said but an ikwerre man can only feel superior to Nnamdi Kanu and IPOb who are dragging them into Biafra and not a proud Anambra man like me,an ikwerre is below me except maybe In Cultism
And secondly you ikwerre should be the last people to say an Igbo man don’t have a culture as 90% of your so-called culture won’t exist without Ndigbo,your Ancestors couldn’t take a language at the Tower of Babel but instead decided to go with an igboid and not an edoid one

There is no history anywhere that Ikwerre moved over to Igbo land. Instead it is in the reverse. It was your people who came to our land to steal my language. My Language is described as being Igboid because you have the population more than me. If I have 5 states and you 4 LGA the description will be in the reverse. Now to prove that you stole my language can u give me the Igbo word for Yes?

You have become friend to European explorers today. Soon you will insult Lord Lugard. The European explorers didn't know our boundaries. And at time for their ease of governance they muddle up people as it is in the case of Nigeria. The Europeans had thought that everyone in the East was Igbo. U need to blame them because 3 in every 5 persons were Igbos or Igboid.

You sound bitter

aribisala0:
What does isuoma mean??

lt has close to no meaning to me. A lot of young adults in the hinterland has little knowledge of lkwere. I believe we must hasten our unity process before it's too late.

aribisala0:

No , I sound brutally honest. Ikwerre has absolutely nothing to brag about except being majority in Rivers state. You think I am lying ? Google Ikwerre and watch their men shaking nyanch like biitches....lol

LOL

Keep shut , Bini slave! Which Igbo are you talking about , you miserably unlettered fhool.

Tell me one single thing that makes you proud as an Ikwerre man....i am waiting. You are nonentities forming Capone with Wike. You nodey shame you speak a language of people you despise.

How do you react to the claim that it means "good slave" in a different language from Ibo

kingzizzy:


This has nothing to do with love or hate or who was raised on falsehood to hate who. Thats beside the point. The argument here is that that being Igbo cannot be reduced to who wants to be Igbo and who doesn't. If that narrative is allowed to stand then what it means is that the Ezza people of Ebonyi can get up tomorrow and declare that they are no longer Igbos because they choose not to be. The Ngwa man of Abia can get up tomorrow and say he is no longer Igbo because he chooses not to be. The Nsukka people of Enugu, the Oru man of Imo, the Abiriba man of Abia can all decide any time they like that they are no longer Igbos. It doesnt stop there, since we have now reduced Igbo to who chooses to be and does not choose to be, what it means is that the Nupe man of Niger state can get up tomorrow and proclaim to be Igbo because he now chooses to be one. Igbo is all about who chooses to be one, right?

We cannot reduce being Igbo to an auction where anybody chooses what they want and what they dont want. If that is the case, then meaning of being Igbo is lost. The Ikwerre can claim to be "distinct" but if their "come" is "Bia", they are fooling nobody. It doesnt matter who the Ikwerre love or hate, it doesnt matter how Igbophobic they are. The only thing that matters is that Igbos are the group of people, contiguous to Southern Nigeria, who speak a variant of the Niger-Congo branch of language known as Igbo, as their ancestral language, and have a surname or family name derived from that language

This definition is the only thing that makes me Igbo, it is the only thing that makes the Nsukka man, the Oru man, the Abakiliki man, the Ngwa man, the wawa man and of course, the Ikwerre man, to be Igbo.

Ethnic stock is not by choice, I can deny my father from now to eternity but it wont change the fact that he is my father. We should acknowledge the Ikwerres such as former Governor Chibuike Amaechi, Secretary General of Ohanaeze, Uche Okwukwu and actress, Tonto Dike, who have all come out publicly to declare they are Igbos. We should pity the the Ikwerre still denying being Igbo because they are suffering from identity crisis. How they will ever be able to convince anyone in the world when their "come" is "Bia" is beyond me.


By the way, IPOB's agitation is about the former Eastern Region, not about who loves Igbos.

I am tired of educating supposingly educated Igbos. Truth is not only decided by number of witness. Like u said Bia not all Ikwerres use Bia for come. Some use Va and other variations. Ikwerre people before the war denied being Igbos. By then they had everything to gain by being Igbos. See this language similarities do not make one the other. It is like that all over the world. There is Spain and Portugal. There is Malaysia and Indonesia, Ukraine and Poland, Urhobo and Isoko, Sweden and Norway. All these countries speak similar language but different people. He in Rivers State Etche speak almost similar with the Ikwerres but we don't call them Ikwerres despite being smaller than us. For the sake of definition and grouping Ikwerre language can be described as Igboid but it doesn't make an Ikwerre person Igbo. As fast as Ebonyi is no one told or educated the Ebonyi man that he is Igbo. If we are Igbos u don't need to tell us. The Okrika, Ogoni , Kalabari and other ethnic group in Rivers State will tell us. The only thing that we have in common is just some words. Our culture and traditions are far and wide apart. An Ikwerre man in character has nothing in common with an Igbo person. Just nothing in common. If u say we are related this is true. An Ikwerre man sees an Igbo man as a brother. But you stir him up to anger when u start to describe him with what he knows he is not.

Shebi the guy get mouth. He said they looked down on Igbo. Based on what ? Igbo is about 40million people! What does Ikwerre have ?

You want to compare the Portuguese-Spanish relation to Ikwerre and Igbo. Oga , Ikwerre is not bigger than my local government. So, what do you think was your population in 1700s. Most Ikwerre are of Aro origin.

Abeg , pick a book....are you all these dumb ? Look at wike and Amaexhi...leaky mouth just like you. Lol

You seem not to know where your ethnic group mate is. Look at the Fulanis who have relegated you to the background forever. Ikwerre is never your contemporary. See the Hausas, Yorubas and your conquerors Fulanis. Thanks.

Ikweres are Igbo so let's make wike president

your people have always claimed that Igbo people came and corrupted their original language so you can’t lay claim to the Igbo language,you guys claim to migrate from edo
I swear I only knew about you guys when I registered on Nairaland,I don’t really care about ikwerre people one bit
Yes in my dialect is “eeh”,though I don’t know how that is important

Fulani/ Hausa that shine our shoes and work as our gate man?

The most prosperous tribe in Africa is Igbo

After all your useless politics, you bring the money back to us through trade and investment.

Your FG will soon start borrowing from Anambra state.

Igbo ebuka!
Igbo erika!!
Igbo Amaka!!!

haffaze777:

Ikwerres are banished slaves from Benin with identity crisis.

They are not Igbos.

You can make them your president

caleboxylic:



Just imagine Benin slaves looking down on the great Igbo nation. Shut up your mouth " bloody slave".

You people will remain our slaves and will be returned to Benin once Igbo nation is decleared. Just look at Ikwerre man without history making noise. Tell us your históry Benin slave.

Take it easy abeg!!! Haba what sought of dialogue is this? Please show some decorum and let everyone know you have some form of education

Pardon me if l digress a little. I can fluently speak many dialects in Igbo language, so I'm not wrong if l say ikwerre Is not one of the most difficult dialects. They are many variations in every language even within dialects, lgbo language is not an exemption.

Jacobx007:

The position of a president in Nigeria is as useless as the p in psychology.

The reason the drunkard GEJ left the position happily.

So, they are remain on the seat permanently

Ikwerre is not a dialect of Ibo . They are separate languages in the same cluster

just like Spanish and Italian or

German Dutch

No need for a thread just taking you up on that word

bitches


Who acts like bitches the most always full of drama, seeking validation and using "MAKEEUP" of mouth = makebelieve of what they are
Fake hair , fake nails, fake eyes etc just like a bitch can use all those fake things some GROUPS also fake with MOUTH

maybe or maybe not. I don't understand or speak any those languages. But I clearly know that ikwerre is not any different from other Igbo dialects. Igbo language is a cluster of dialects.

Do you speak Ikwerre?

There is no language like Ikwerre.

Since your ancestors were banished from Benin.

You should adopt Benin language.

Well there is a foremost authority on the Igbo language. She s regarded as the most authoritative linguistic scholar her name is Kay Williams or Williamson
I suggest you inform yourself about her scholarship

Try to be less emotional and more rational. Engage your brain

aribisala0:

l'm not yet fluent, still working on it.

Thief, bloody thief.
We are not decieved again
When they need a favor they suddenly become Igbo
