Slytiger:

Any one can edit wikipedia and put stuff there especially when it's not locked.

As you can see, I just changed the Igbo group to Bini group 🤷🏾‍♂️

What tribe do you belong to?

opamoses1:

The Obi of Onitsha is ancestrally Bini. Argue with your keypad.

true.....I think delta igbos and ikweres are originally igbos.when Bini soldiers conquered their communities,they installed Bini chiefs/princes as their kings.liguistically,they are igbos and their cultural practices are similar to the binis.this is similar to the itsekiri people who are yorubas by origin and binis by traditional practices.

I find it weird that most of my aniomas and ikweres friends get angry at me when I call them igbos

Dennisochampa:
I never see where them deh force people say them be Igbo or not igbos...
If the larger population says they are not igbos, leave them alone na....
Take them like prodigal sons and leave them alone..... Forcing them to identify with you is an act of desperation.... E come be like say e get another thing wen the igbos Wan achieve with this by force unification....
If they say they are not igbos, leave them alone!!!

Where are the evidence Igbos are forcing Ikwerre to become part of them?

Funkyswagzz:


Wait o how did these people practice Igbo culture speak there language and answer there names

. Inter marriage over time, and you know the igbos migrate a lot and know how to influence the locals.

Gerhards:







Those women must be so powerful to change your Bini language and tradition, names and every other things to Igbo culture, i doubt your sanity

Nigerian politics can make people go mad while thinking they are sane.


Take a look at Nyesome Wike that swore with his life never to join APC, never to be Minister, never to be Vice President, but today he is a loyal Minister under Tinubu he so much castigated.


What about Reno Omockery?


Naija politics no be your mate



No blame Bini Ikwerre people my brother na Naija politics do this one

Fejoku:

Did you notice that all the people Ikwerres claim to be their siblings all speak different dialects of Igbo? Ekpeye, Ogba, Etche and Ngwa. Not even one speaks anything related to Bini. Are you now insinuating that they all also married Igbo daughters and those daughters changed their languages?
Make una dey think before una dey talk o.

they are igbos what were conquered by Bini soldiers.those soldiers installed Bini princes as their kings.thus , inculcating Bini cultural values into their lifestyles

Ngozi123:


What tribe do you belong to?

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

Many africas bear english name, but does that make you a British? And has any british threatened you to stop using their names?

Stop forcing people to be IGBO.

learnedman:
Identity crisis palava if you are not Igbo,stop answering Igbo names or practising Igbo culture,identity thieves

It seems so many of those commenting the first page did not read the entire text of the post. 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

Noneroone:
she said they are a separate "tribe" . But when asked the language they use to communicate with Aba people, she said the "general Igbo"

The first man clearly stated that Etche is Igbo. Stop misleading people.

No mind the idiot he leave the first man that said his Igbo and choose the one that said his not Igbo .
Success breed hates

Soliddust3030:

Just through marriage and migration? Something don't add up cos they should have done that in Yoruba land long time ago. Are you saying the people they influenced are weak. What you saying don't add up. Explain better cos I believe you know the history very well

Soliddust3030:

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

My clan is NGWA and i am IGBO by tribe, i have no ancestral affiliation with Bini, i have read and learned from kings and old fathers and mothers in Ngwa land and non have ever said or claimed to be of Bini ancestry. NB. I am a proud Igbo boy



Iwhurohna, Etche and Ngwa all have Bini ancestry through their father Akalaka (a Bini man).[/quote]

emapeteum:

This story has to be told. The Igbos are full of deceit and always falsified history. The evil this tribe did to Southern minorities during the civil war is beyond words

Your mumu no be here ooooo
So you believe all this lies Igbo women are very strong oooo

His name is elechi which has same meaning in igbo language. With this u will truly be convinced that even with education, u can still be stupid and a fool

Goodvibes007:

First man was not speaking English. 2nd man said he wasn't sure what was what. The woman clearly said etches were not Ibo and she was very confident despite the interviewer trying to gaslight her.

You see you don't even understand Igbo language they are all speaking igbo

oladipupo2234:

Stop forcing people to be IGBO.

Stupid excuse, how can a tribe forgot their ancestral language, culture, names and tradition, have you heard such before?

Gerhards:






Where are the evidence Igbos are forcing Ikwerre to become part of them?

Go and read the comments under the post and u will see your evidence...
Also go on TikTok and see how the igbos there are striving hard to claim other people's lands as part of their own and also claiming that akwa ibom, delta, Edo, ikwerre are part of their own....
They even claim it's the igbos that own igbanke inside Edo state... How does this even make sense...
Na una Wan commot from 9ja...
Make una go in peace....
Make una no force anybody follow una.

bixton:






I like this.
Imagine running just because of war to where is their proper and rightful land and left this who are the real owners to die and after the war they intend to return to claim what is not theirs......
The igbos apart from the fulani's are the only tribe trying to claim other peoples land even in this age of technology.

Bless you!

OriOko88:

You hv no correlation with ibos,but u bear ibo name. Many of u even spk ibo language.Is that elechi not even ibo name,cos I remember one former ebonyi state govo bearing that name.

Iru confusion wo leleyi olohun

All I want is for these Ikwerre people to change their names, titles and language to something that's as far away from Igbo as possible.

We do not want to mistake one Emeka in our midst for an Igbo man when he is not.

I feel sorry for them as when the Igbo leave Nigeria and Nigeria as we know it disintegrates, they will understand the true meaning of "minority".

Tjra:

They don't wanna be associated with you. Leave them alone. Na by force?

We all know say na oil matter

Remman:
Bless you!

Bless you too.

Another stupid excuse, i was expecting you to show me where Igbos were chasing Ikwerres from their ancestral lands, how old are you?

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.

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

muykem:
Why is everybody disassociate themselves from Igbo?

Success bring envy

Iwhurohna, Etche and Ngwa are all of Bini and not igbos.

Fejoku:

The confusion in Ikwerreland is beyond belief. How can one claim to be siblings with other Igbo clans but deny "Ancestral link" with the same Igbo nation? Is Ngwa not Igbo? Is Etche not Igbo?
By this Punch publication, Ikwerre, Etche and Ngwa historically have the same father and mother. They have tied themselves to the Igbo nation by it. It's expected that they review this publication not long from now.

They aren't confuse, inter marriage at the time of Civil War creates room for such

Okay they are migrants.

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

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

Even Igbo’s migrated from the old cross riverian people
