The Ikwerres should always be thankful to the Ogoni people. Their Identity will be wiped off the surface of the earth if they joke around with the Igbo colonization agenda.

AguluLiar:


Stay on your own

Stop attaching yourselves to Ikwerre because of the enormous resources in their land.

The gas in Imo state is 2nd only the the reserve in Russia.
Anambra is already an oil producer.
Enugu has been flaring gas since 2yrs now.
I know this will be painful to hear

BondRiv:
Ikwerres have maintained they are not Igbos. You can't force an identity on someone. The fact that this is still in contention shows you some people have a hard time accepting reality and love oppressing others who they think are minorities. Why would you keep drawing regions into your maps and keep claiming an entire ethnic group? Dangerous and insensitive.

They termed the North and S.west "unity beggers" when they're the real unity beggers. They've been on this issue for decades unend. Shows there intentions are not pure.

Ordinarily, I will not bother replying you because you sound as imbecil….c as most of you shameless, repulsive, irritating mkpurunmiri addicts and idi0ts that litter all over your Igbo land.

Amaechi during the election talked about how no one can take away his Igbo ‘heritage’ from him which you have now replaced with “ancestry”. I don’t know if your inherent idiocy would allow you to go and find out the difference. The same Amaechi at various places during the election including Bauchi, Ondo etc categorically said that he is NOT IGBO. Amaechi when he was governor was asked at a radio station in Lagos if he was Igbo and he said NO.

When your shameless Ohaneze president in the person of professor Anya O Anya addressed him as “an Igbo son” at an event in Abia State Amaechi quickly corrected him that he is not Igbo but a proud Ikwerre son. And for the records Amaechi and Wike though proud Ikwerre sons, are not from the SAME local government area.

Ikwerre was in the eastern region that was created by the British just like a few other minority ethnic groups. Even before independence, Ikwerre like most of the other ethnicities were already agitating to be separated from Igbo people into their own region the reason why they represented at the Willinks Commission in1957 three years before independence. They wouldn’t be at that conference if they identified as Igbo. In 1965 three years before the war and while Igbo were controlling the dead eastern region just by reason of their population and nothing more, Ikwerre made it clear that they are neither Igbo, Ijaw etc but Ikwerre in what is today known as Rumuomasi declaration.

Ikwerre never identified as Igbo even when Igbo people were running and pillaging the defunct and dead eastern region. Before the war, Ikwerre along with other ethnicities like Ijaw, Efik and other groups even met with Ojukwu and told him of their desire to be separated from Igbo people. Gowan only wanted their support by giving them what they were asking for long before the war. Your lying parents never told you the truth.

You can say whatever you like, come online and insult your fat.her as you wish but one thing is certain: YOU ARE IN NO POSITION TO TELL ANYONE WHO THEY ARE.

If you feel that those protesting were paid, please come on ground and lift your own placard saying that IKWERRE IS IGBO….I say no more.

alright, but how come as an igbo guy I understand ikwerre language to a large extent and why do they bear igbo names, I have like 3 ikwerre friends so I know what I'm saying.. This is just an innocent question, I just want to know the relationship between the two... Effik, ijaw and other SS tribes language are quite different from igbo language but u see the ikwerre, the language similarities is just too much..

Where Pekin da cry da point hard, it's either the Father or mother is their. Ikwerre people, since the child has been pointing hard but u fail to realize it

First of all, it’s ridiculous for you Igbos to begin to claim that you “understand Ikwerre language” because Ikwerre language has at least 13 dialects and it is almost impossible to see an Ikwerre person that will tell you that he understands and speaks all the dialects, but one clown from Okigwe will wake up to claim “I understand Ikwerre language”

Similarities in Languages doesn’t mean they are the same people. Ikwerre bear Ikwerre and not “Igbo names”. There are so many tribes or ethnicities all over the world with similarities even here in Nigeria but it is only Igbo people that feels it gives them the right to impose their identity.

Up North you have the Kanuris, Hausas, Gwandara, Nupe. Chamba, Tiv etc and many others that have similarities but they respect their boundaries and each other. I have Ebira friends that bear Toyin, Tunde, Kunle etc but never seen Yoruba people trying to tell them who they are.

You have the Ebira and Igarra people with lots of similarities but respect each other’s identity. So many ethnicities both within and outside Nigeria that have similarities, so why can’t Igbo people live and let others live?

Ikwerre and Igbo don’t share the same values, world view and ways of life.

NaMe4:


There is freedom of association in Nigeria.

But when they commit crime with that their name, you refer them as Igbos

You may be right because we know that it is the British that told you the identity to adapt, but the mistake you are making is to be so deluded as to think that you are in any position to tell anyone who they are.

Oh my God! See how you twisted history to favour your sponsors!

Can you Tell it more than an indigene who is on ground? If you don't know Ikweres are Igbos and shares Igbo heritage and ancestry,then you should be ignored in your ignorance and crass foolishness.

Rotimi Amaechi never,never denied his Igbo ancestry. I was in Umuahia during one his campaigns and he categorically said those trying to demarket him of not being original Igbo protegy should reexamine themselves because nobody can take away his Igbo ancestry. He is Proudly Igbo and his Igbo heritage is sacrosanct.

I therefore find it funny that he denied his Igbo heritage and ancestry before public gathering in Bauchi. It's your concoction. Not real.

Wike is a hybrid. Neither Igbo nor Bini. A shameless man who's trading off his Igbo ancestry at altar of political expediency. An idiot,he is.

No matter how you try with your sponsors on warped Ikwerre history, the fact remains ikwerres are Igbos. Therefore,the placard carrying renegades cannot altar the history of Ikwerres' ancestry.
