Changes nothing if someone is misguided.

An Igbo man will not stop being Igbo because a few people are misguided

I will never accept that Ikwerres are not Igbos unless they all change their names and stop speaking Igbo Language

Someone must explain to me why Ikwerres speak Igbo Language
my own theory is this, I think historically the ikwerrre ethnic group comprised of majority of people who migrated from other ethnic group, we have heard a theory of the ikwerrre migrating from Benin, I think also some also migrated from the south east too, so each clan has its own origin history you might meet an ikwerrre man who identify as igbo maybe because his ancestry confirms it, you might meet another who hates to identify as igbo also because his ancestry may not be from the south east, another might also identify with the Benin kingdom probably because his ancestry is from there, now on why they all bear igbo names this might also be due to ethnic dominance for centuries, by this I think the ikwerrre ethnic group does not have a singular ancestry and they know this just my theory.

The Ikwerres have always been a distinct people and asserted their identity. The Igbos have always tried to play these games especially from the colonial periods. There are a lot of accounts from even Dutch and English colonialists and explorers narrating how Igbos always delibrately attempted to subdue the Ikwerre (and other groups) language(s). There are documented accounts from these people.

One of their gimmicks (up till today in their pursuit of biafra) is delibrately attempting to make their language a dominant language over the indiginous language(s), then give false narratives of history.

Additionally, in the pre-colonial era, one of the major factors which necessitated many of these indigenous groups make efforts at learning the Igbo language was for trade; especially during the slave trade era when Igbos were mostly sold as slaves by fellow Igbos, and indigenes in these coastal areas acted as middlemen. There was no structured educational system which would have necessitated the use of a lingua franca such as English as we have today. Unfortunately, such system has further made many descendants of various groups lose understanding of their own languages.

That's why delibrate attempts MUST be made to ensure indigenes have good command of their indigenous languages. Majority of your radio stations and other media, when not using the official lingua franca of Nigeria (English) should broadcast in your local indigenous languages.

The so-called leaders in these areas MUST rise up to their responsibilities or considered sabotuers.

PROTEST IN IKWERE LAND !!!

There’s a protest currently going on in Ikwere land against the Ibos “ Ibos “

Ikwere is not Igbo, they claim they don't want Igbos.

Without sending a dead message as an example to Igbo people, they will not learn to know their boundaries.

It is post civil war politics. After the civil war, the Niger Delta states especially Rivers had a large concentration of indigenous igbos. So to get any post in the civil service you had to deny your igbo heritage and ancestry. Most even went as far as changing their names adopting Horsefal, Iworiso, Fubara etc.

Thanks for the explanation.

I dont know if they think being Igbo means they stop being Ikwerre?



Igbo is just an umbrella term or like blanket for a group, WHILST U REMAIN IN YOUR CLAN, SPEAKING YOUR DIALECT.
Why not see ikwerre as the umbrella tribe while you remain in your Igbo clan speaking your dialect? This doesn't stop you from being Igbo.

Do not believe any crap these shameless lying desperados and Ipob feed you. Ikwerre never identified as Igbo before, during and after the war. Ikwerre don’t share the same values, world views nor ways of life with Igbo people. Ikwerre along with other minorities started agitating to be separated from Igbo into a different region or State even before independence (b4 the agitation for the midwestern region) but Zik and his people being mainly in control, always have ways to sabotage or thwart these efforts.

Even before the war started, Ikwerre and other Rivers delegations met with Ojukwu and made same demand so anyone telling you about “after the war, Gowon did this and that, or divide and rule, fear of Fulani” BS is suffering from Mkpurunmiri hangover. See excerpts from a narrative written by an Ikwerre man and this events happened before the war. Three of the five people in that delegation were Ikwerre.

Ikwerres are aborigines. I strongly doubt if we have any connection with Benin. But the recently celebrated Igue festival by the Benin people drew my attention to what my clan also celebrate called Eke Pi Ige . We also call it Ige Festival. It is a new yam celebration in Akpor Kingdom.
In Akpor Kingdom we see ourselves as Aborigines. There is no history that we came from anywhere. The community are tied by blood. There is history of their seniority and blood connections.
Although in some part of Ikwerre we have the Aro descendants who have naturalized. These people could be found in Isiokpo and Elele.
