Senator Uchendu I can represent Amaechi better in this scenario. Amaechi has never for once said he is Igbo. He tactically said no one could deny him of his Igbo heritage. Igbo heritage can mean so many things. It could be by way of borrowed culture, language, marriage or anything. For instance in the time past pupils were taught in schools in the old east in Igbo language. Amaechi clearly said where he comes from when he visited the Deji of Akure during his presidential campaign. He told him he had come to see him not as Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo or Ikwerre where he comes from. https://onepageafrica.com/2022/04/25/presidential-race-2023-i-will-be-president-for-all-amaechi-assures-as-he-visits-south-west-states/ 3 Likes |

LadyExcellency: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. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Ikwerres Deny Ancestral Affiliation With South-East by Gajagojo: 7:29am On Jul 06 |
LadyExcellency:That is Ibo logic First of who is Ibo How is that defined? Was there ever a country called Ibo ? Ibo is a creation of the British and Nigeria Before Nigeria there was never a single group known as Ibo That is the reality Ngwa people never called themselves Ibos and actively denied being Ibos for decades Aros DEFINITELY did not see themselves as Ibos and for verylong their main business was hunting and selling Ibos as slaves Just like most Fulanis in Nigeria cannot speak Fulani and only speak Hausa Hausa language does not make them Hausa Hausa language is a lingua franca in Northern Nigeria Just like English is lingua franca in Nigeria,the USA and Arabic language is in so many countries 18 Likes |

Trying to modify history again after realizing that the earlier modifications had some clear falsehood. Ekpeye and Ogba only had some migrations into Ikwerreland especially Emohua axis. All the Southern Igbos have a link ie Ngwa, Etche, Oratta, Ikwerre, Ohaji, Asa and Ndoki. Ekpeye and Ogba belong to the Niger River Igbos alongside Egbema, Ndoni, Oguta, Ogbaru, Ukwuani and Aboh. Ikwerres should stop playing politics with their history which is well known by every traditionally inclined Igbo man. There are 7 group of villages that make up Ikwerre ethnic nationality and all 7 migrated independently so Ikwerre is actually Ikwerre Asaa or Esa depending on dialect. The 7 groups at a time agreed to come together which is the origin of the term Ikwerre. Some Ikwerre elders coming together to appropriate their origin to one place and then Benin is like Americans whose clearly known origin is Europe outnumbering the original natives and then later having some Africans and Asians suddenly saying that they all originated from China. 13 Likes 3 Shares |

You see, this is one of the very reason why the Igbo tribe is most hated in Nigeria and everywhere around the world. They go to a place, live with the people, use their cunning ways to warm themselves into the heart of the aboriginal owners of land, before you know it they have their own Eze this and Eze that first, then later begin to contest the kingship with owners of the land. I know the Ikwerres very very well and I did a research on their ancestry. That ethnic group, no doubt speak a language much similar to the Igbos who are a much larger ethnic nationality. As expected, the influence of the larger group will always overshadow the smaller one. Culture, marriage and trade, all are a determinant factor in shaping the society as it progresses. These events happen over a long period of time without someone noticing it.....hundreds of years. The Aros of the present day Igbos are known to be from the present day Calabar. If he chooses to recognise his ancestry, is it a crime? The Igbos should be more concerned on how to be united in their region and stop telling someone his own history just because he speaks a language similar to his. Anambra man hates the Ebonyi and Imo State people. Abia and Imo don't like Enugu and Anambra people. Go and build your own home first before looking for someone to forcefully belong to you. Who would like to identify with criminals who can kill their own parents just to get rich. 5 Likes 1 Share |
