Just another ikwerre slowpoke! You are all ibo people.
If you think you are not, then stop bearing Ibo names.

I hate this attitude of some my Igbo brothers trying to tell Ikwerre who they are or who they are not. They say they are not Igbos, at least majority of them say they are not, respect that please.

In other words- Sights and Sounds of the Ikwere People, according to CNN, way back in the 90s.

Ikwere people?

Run o

They act like na them get rivers State.

Ikwerri men dey cheat o.. cheating is normal to them in marriage.

They like selling land and become tenant to the person they sold the land to..( this one full woji)

I am a proud Rivers man..ONELGA

Darkandhandsom:
They are somewhat mean/wicked and sell their property anyhow.. An ikwerre can sell his last property and become a tenant. Ikwerre people hardly go to school.. They are known for selling lands and refusing to go to school. Their women nko... They can't stay in marriage
An ikwerre landlord will be asking for rent when your rent has not expired.. If an ikwerre landlord doesn't have a car, don't buy or drive a car as his tenant

This is an APT summary. You sabi dem too well bros. One bottle of baby oku for u abeg.

Ikwerre people should start enlightening the Nigeria public and media between ikwerre and Igbo.

For e.g if an Ikwerre man named Nnadi from pH city is caught in Thailand carrying drugs and incarcerated to prison.

Ikwerre people should come out and tell the media that the man is Ikwerre and not Igbo because the more they close their mouth the whole Nigerians even those in diaspora will call the indicted man Igbo.

I have seen some Ikwerre men indicted with Drug cases in south east Asia and serving prison sentences but in Nigeria hemisphere they're still called Igbos and drug pushers.

Ikwerres should start working on this

Almost the same in fact same tradition won't Ngwa people only little dialect, but when it comes to insult they hear us well well.

Ikwere brothers Meka oooo, from my village at nkpo to obiakpo is just a Stone throw.

Afam4eva:

Your language does not have many words in common. Your language is similar to these languages. Don't try to downplay the similarity by mere words. But yes, Ikwerre is distinct.

Distinct in what manner?

Distinct sub-group of Igbo peoples?

Or distinct tribe on its own?

Who is this.? thing.

A dialect in Igbo. Politically became their own Tribe. Same names Igbos bear. It's understandable though cos everyone wants to have their own identity. Ikwere people are very welcoming but them no dey use land matter play ooo 😜

Duchessree:
Whats the meani of "Rumu" , a lot of places has rumu in them, e.g , rumuola, rumokoro,rumukini, rumosi. The first time i visited , i was like why does every where has "rumu" in it.

I also heard if you guys want to do party you guys will block road and you like selling your lands ( according to what people say)

Rumu is like in Ngwa Umu..means sons of etc.

We sincerely apologize to the general public for this very act of nuisance.The poster is one of our psychiatric patients who escaped last night. We urge the public to go about their various business as everything is under control. We will soon have him in shackles.
Thanks for your understanding.

I was born and breed in ikwerre land I lived virtually all my years their before I relocated to IMO for studies. Very interesting people. But don't joke with them wen it comes to land they can kill you. And their woman are so lovable.
One thing with them is that they don't travel correct me if am wrong

the only thing I know about these clowns is that they are Igbos pretending to be something else because of oil wey go soon finish...

I stay in Rives State and i must say never allow an Ikwere man to be your landlord or stay in the same compound. They are very wicked set of people full of pride.

No no, Rumu amadi is umu amadi.

Hahaha, Rumu is always Umu, na people way dey hide for my village after operation in oil bunkering someone want to tell me? Na we we.

Gowon and Adekunle did something to these people. They just renamed all their villages and denied their tribe.

FYI> Ikwere is not a tribe. It is a clan.

I think ikwerre is a speaking ibo right

[quote author=Brownshoe post=123636814]I knew I was matured the day I walked passed an empty bottle of water without kicking it...

Out of joy I went back and kicked it, to celebrate my maturity.

princeemma69:
I only know ikwerre people for selling and dragging land. A piece of land can be sold 4 times by different people to different clients😏

Any day anyone related to you sells land may what befall Ikwerre man to sell his land befall you.

zoedew:
I noticed the word “Owe” is recurrent in the language. What does it mean and why is it that recurrent as the Ikwerre language is spoken.

Oweeeei means Yes or let it be so (depending on the context it is used).

Pharaoh4rin:
Nice one Chrixxx

But wait ooo
Why are Ikwerre women mostly ugly and their men handsome?

This your question is so hilarious

Don't forget to add Ikwere man can sell one piece of land to 5 people... Then they will go to court.

KEEP QUIET THERE MUGU..... THEY'RE ALL IGBOS, IF YOU DOUBT THEN ASK YOUR ANCESTORS.

ACRI:
Good one 👍

Beautiful, I have an Ikwere friend and Etche man. Its good you clarified the below..

"Our language has many words in common with the Ekpeye , Etche and Igbo people but we are neither any of them. We are a distinct ethnic group"

In Igbo land we have different sub-ethnic groups like that of Ikwerre some even speak dialects close that of Ikwerre. Tribe like Ohafia, Abakalike , Ohaji egbema, Nsuka Ngwa etc. History even has it that Ngwa and Ikwerre are brothers . I'm a proud Ngwa man and igbo what you listed I can actually believe that Ngwa and Ikwerre are brothers. From the meaning of names you gave down to food like Otaraji which is pounded yam, minri -okasi that's Okazi soup even the dressings you mentioned that same way my grandpa and other aged men those days use to dress. The problem here is Nigeria tribalistic politics which has distorted history to suit the game masters. You can choose to trace your origin to the red Sea it changes nothing and nobody cares. Igbos are not interested in your brotherhood.
