Wickedlywicked:

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

You be psycho. Don't forget to treat yourself

Ngozi123:


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

My problem is that they do this nonsense almost every year for no reasons, I don't even have issue with their claimed Bini ancestry, they should stop rubbing it on our faces in the public just to be loved by Fulanis who own Nigeria, I don't see south east Igbos dragging their ancestry lands with them or claim their lands by force

AT THIS POINT IKWERRE IS JUST ATTENTION SEEKING.



NOBODY ASKED THEM WHETHER THEY ARE IGBO OR NOT AND IT IS OF NO RELEVANCE TO US.




OUR PRIORITY AND JOY RIGHT NOW IS TO WELCOME OUR ANIOMA PEOPLE TO THE SE.


WHETHER IKWERRE IS IGBO OR NOT IS IKWERRE PROBLEM.



IF WE LIKE, WE BAN IKWERRRE FROM OHANAEZE.


IF WE LIKE ANY OF YOUR SONS THAT CLAIM TO BE IGBO LIKE AMAECHI OR NWIKE, WE WILL REBUKE THEM


U HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT, WITH THE SHIFT OF ANIOMA, THE GAME CHANGES.



U WILL BE LEFT BEHIND AND THE OUTSIDER, NOBODY IS RUNNING AFTER YOU ANYMORE.

DmonSlayer10:

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..

What are you saying sef... So these Ikwerre elders that said they are not Igbos are now Yorubas?

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.

No

It means that Etche and Ngwa have Bini ancestry and are also not Igbos.

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

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

No

It means that Etche and Ngwa have Bini ancestry and are also not Igbos.

NA ANYTHING WE LIKE WE GO DEY TAKE IKWERRE PEOPLE DO.


IF WE LIKE, WE WILL DEMAND THE RETURN OF IGBO TERRITORY INSIDE RIVERS STATE FROM WHERE YOU COLLECT ALLOCATION FROM OIL AND GAS TO USE FOR IKWERRE LAND.



U THINK THIS IS THE OLDER GENERATION U MESS AROUND WITH, WE GO SHOW UNA PEPPER.


WE WILL COME TO IKWERRE LAND AND TEACH YOU A LESSON THERE.

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.

This is exactly what Giannis Adetokunbo's mother did! She taught all her Yoruba children Igbo language and change their mentality and worldviews to that of Igbo! That's exactly what the GRV's mother has successfully done. She brainwashed that fool to the extent that he hates himself - his own identity and heritage! The fool claims he doesn't even think in Yoruba;what a shame! It is the same thing Mrs Akeredolu of Ondo State is trying to do with her children.

Given what we know about these Igbo women,I believe this your faction of the story. I think it's authentic. Ikwerres are not Igbo;they are a distinct ethnic group different from Igbo. Why won't I believe so when majority of these Igbo are already claiming and celebrating Giannis Adetokunbo,the Basketballer,as an Igbo man! Truly,Igbo people's attache by force is quite appalling.

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

Ibos should stop this attarche by force. These people have rejected you severally, why can't you respect yourselves and stay on your own.

Is it because of the abundance resources in the Niger Delta that is making you to embarrass yourselves this way?

Too bad!

Amaggedon:
So the population of the igbos were already more than the population of the bini's(ikwerre) for the igbo language to i fluence the bini language(¡kwerre) because if one sheep i placed in the midst of a goat the sheep can never influence the goats rather it will be the other way round.

Exactly. The only way this theory makes sense is if there was already an established Igbo community in the land and they (the Bini settlers) were just immigrants who came and intermarried with them.

Biaflans should stop embarrassing themselves by attaching themselves to people who have rejected them severally.

Is it because of the abundant resources in the Niger Delta that's making Eebos to go this low?
It's sad!

ALL IGBO TERRITORY IN RIVERS STATE MUST BE RETURNED TO ABIA AND IMO STATE RESPECTIVELY.


IKWERRE SHOULD STAND ALONE.


LOOK, WE ARE NOT THE OLDER, WE ROLL DIFFERENTLY, MESSING WITH US, WE WILL BRING IT TO YOUR DOOR STEP LIVE AND DIRECT.

Confusion in the highest level. Even the first man here bears igbo name and claiming rubbish. They speak igbo, and even part of the Ohaneze Ndigbo still they are not Igbos. Haba!

001Lagos:
Confused people

Just read the highlighted

Is Ngwa not south east ?

Eebos should stop embarrassing themselves with all these stupid attachments
Ikwerre have rejected you, learn to respect yourselves.

Osanoghodua1:
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.

Where is your evidence Igbos are dragging Ikwerres to be Igbo? I'm waiting for this evidence, rather they should stop dragging Etche and Aba Ngwa into this rubbish

AareGaa:

You mean this?

rigid123:
The Igbos actually don't care. It's high time those calling them Igbos desist, they have been ascribing too much importance to them which have made their heads to swell. What have they achieved that made them think that they are soo important? Nothing.

In Rivers state, they don't have anything. They are denying their root because of oil money and other benefits of oil rich region. They are so lazy, timid and unproductive. Their only trade is womanize, smoke and drink kaikai, nothing else they know or do.

The Igbos calling ikwere people Igbos are bringing shame to the igbo nation, this must stop henceforth. Ikweres are useless to the igbo nation today, tomorrow and forever. They have nothing to offer. The lazy Ikweres are not Igbos.

The late Herbert Wigwe owned one of Africa's largest banks. He was an Ikwerre lazy man right?

Ikwerres are not ibos, period!

You're attaching yourselves to Ikwerres because of their abundant resources.

Learn to respect yourselves.

Globad:

No

Babablu bulabu. Show me one Ngwa person that said they are not Igbos.
Una go open mouth waaa!

LadyExcellency:


Did you even read the statement to see the foolishness of the author by claiming Aba Ngwa and Ikwerre are siblings? He claimed "His first wife begat two sons Ekpeye and Ogba - and the second wife begat Iwhurohna (Ikwerre), Etche (Igbo) and Ngwa (Igbo).

Ikwerres are not Ibos.
Ibos are only coveting their abundant resources.

Ikwerres have rejected your attaché by force

Gerhards:

They do it because they believe it will benefit them politically. They don't realise that Nigeria (as we know it) is on its last legs. Tinubu's administration signing that Samoa agreement has proved this.

Nigeria will divide and the Igbos will go their own way, leaving the Ikwerres to their fate.

Remman:
That they married you doesn't make you own them as our traditions put us under our father's heritage. Got it?

Genes say otherwise. Secondly, I assume that the women they married are the people they met there?

The delta igbos have trace their migration from Benin. The rivers igbos same. Obi of onitsha has confirmed that they migrated from the great Benin kingdom. The truth is that the entire igbo race migrated from the ancient Benin kingdom. It's just that pride will not let some people admit it. Forget that lost tribe of Israel crap

How did he grab your land and where is the location?

See confusion between tribalists. Ikwerre people usually bear Igbo names maybe cos of that civil war where igbos killed them or maybe it has been like that right from time.

franchasofficia:
My Ikwerre people will not kill me with laugh, Nigerian politics can make people deny their own children hehe oh

You migrated from Bini and stopped answering your Bini name? Stopped speaking Bini dialect, stopped following Bini culture and tradition, refused to name your traditional rulers Oba but rather call them Eze and Igwe


And you further confuse yourself by agreeing that Ikwerre and Ngwa and Etche people are siblings but Ngwa people are proudly Igbos even Etche people, only Ikwerre people became Bini



We need to hear from Oba of Bini on this discombulated history

This 1b0 obsession with claiming others people is shameful. Are you guys that shameless? Sop attache by force

Igbos should stop forcing these foolish people to be a part of them. If they say they’re not Igbos, then let them be. All I know is anyone who doesn’t know his heritage is nothing but a b@stard. If they’re not igbos then they should stop answering Igbo names.

How can you bear Igbo names, first name and last name Igbo and u claim you’re not Igbo. Yet u understand Igbo language. Your name is Amaechi Adiele and u say you’re not Igbo. You must be a lost b@stard. It’s the same thing as someone who’s name is Adamu Waziri and he speaks Hausa, yet he claims he’s not Hausa.

Every tribe is lazy but only 1b0 is hardworking in Nigeria. Imagine the m0r0ni¢ mentality being harboured by a whole tribe, yet you folks remain the economic refugees and political underlings of Nigeria with absolute deserted trash of a region. Are you that shameless?

The publication said Ngwa are your blood brothers, same father and same mother. But Ngwa are in Abia state and firmly proud of their Igboness. They have all been Governors of Abia state from 1999 till today.

How on earth is your blood brother Igbo and in the SE, but you are not Igbo and in the SS ?
