ikechu1278:You know NOTHING about PH! PH is jointlt owned by Okrika(PH South) and Ikwerre. You can sit in your parlour to type what you don't know. And Portharcourt is Portharcourt. I am not aware of your 'Igweocha" neither do I care about what Ohanaeze think. The status of PH is non-negotiable. I will even cease from discussing it. Then Goodbye ijaw...you don't have to join us in biafra end of story. You want others to respect those you deem your hero despite their atrocity as well as vocal hatred to igbos. Are you out of your mind? I'm actually f2king offended by that post alone. You yourself have repeatedly spoke Ill of ojukwu despite him being a hero to Igbo.. How many igbos do you see asking you to respect ojukwu? Therefore yes respect is reciprocally. The same way Igbo respected you well enough to voice you and hold your Ill feelings towards ojukwu due to whatever harm you believe he caused on you and your people likewise you should respect Igbo well enough to voice and hold Ill feelings towards Ken saro wiwa and baro due to the harms they caused us and hatred they voiced towards us. And yes as an anioma wiwa and karo are not my heros; they are the heros of their respective tribe aka ogoni and ijaw and I highly doubt anioma are the only ones with that opinion. Maybe the Edo, itsekiri, urhobo agrees with you but I can bet my life savings that if I call up my best friend right now and ask him if he consider wiwa or saro as ND hero, he'll say the exact same thing I said and bare in mind, my best friend is also SS, Ibibio precisely.The Igbos not only disagreed with on my position on Ojulkwu, some went all out to insult me(and my people). All these are understandable, hence, I toned down not to provoke anyone and to move forward. However, that doesn't justify your continuous insults and abuse on Boro and our fathers. Boro remain a statesman and warrior of the Niger Delta. And Wiwa/Boros are not only heroes of their tribes, they are also heroes of the entire Niger Delta. Anioma may however see them as it please them(anioma). Anyway, no need to argue. We can't have a common front as we have different ideologies and stand on issues. I wish you well 3 Likes |

I merely suggested it was a painful experience for him, but to you it is B.S. Okay o, Mr. B.S, since you know him better than others, tell us why he didn't mention the destruction of his library in his book despite the fact, that it happened! As for your comments about Col.

Answer my question and stop beating around the bush.
Igbo insulted you because you insulted Igbo's and not because you insulted ojukwu. I should know because I was among those that insulted you each time you spoke of ojukwu and I remember very clearly each time I attacked you when you speak of ojukwu is because you insulted Igbo's while talking about ojukwu. And for the last time Wiwa and Saro are NOT ND hero's but your own heros. Stop speaking for others for Godsake. Lastly, you are right.

www.elombah.com/index.php/special-reports/16602-ikwerre-is-igbo ikwerre Is Igbo Details Category: SPECIAL REPORTS Thursday, 11 July 2013 By Vincent Erondu ikwerre Parliamentarians, Chiefs And Port Harcourt Municipal Councillors Said ikwerre Is Igbo - I really hate the boring argument or debate of ikwerre being Igbo or not Igbo. We are not in control of what ethnic origin, community, nation, clan or tribe that we belong to. Wherever we found ourselves is by accident of birth. Mr. Emeka Okala and Dr. M.D. Amadi insistence that ikwerre a southern Igbo ethnic group is Benin compels me to continue to lend my voice to this baseless argument. The argument that ikwerre is Benin is not rooted in any research, study or documented evidence. There is nothing to be gained either way in this argument. Nevertheless, it is very important that the younger and future generations are not fed with this falsehood, especially when it comes from educated persons who append the titles of Doctor and Reverend to their names. Every research, study, moonlight stories told by the elders point to the undisputable fact that ikwerre is a Southern Igbo ethnic group or a tribe within the Igbo nation like Ngwa, Etche, Owerri, Asa, Umuahia, etc. The southern Igbo group share Igbo language with varying dialects and customs. For instance, they reverend cola nut, tap and drink mainly raffia palm tree wine while other Igbo tap and drink palm trees wine. They are yam and cassava farmers. The southern Igbo groups were mainly in the larger Owerri province before Aba-Umuahia, and Rivers provinces were carved out of it. In 1922/23 Port Harcourt in ikwerre land became the capital of old Owerri province. Owerri Provincial Assembly had representatives that comprised mainly illiterate chiefs from the stand point of English language. Dialogue among provincial and district councils were in local language. Igbo was the official language of Owerri provincial council. None of the councilors including the Ikwerres in the provincial council representing Diobu and other ikwerre areas ever complained. They fully participated in the proceedings of the council. The only interpreters were to interpret local Nigerian languages to the provincial governor and the district officer who were Europeans. This argument has been going on for too long in this forum, but Dr. M.D, Amadi has added threats of court action perhaps at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) or any other United Nations court with subject matter jurisdiction over such matters as the alleged forceful assimilation of ikwerre group. I am anxiously looking forward to be included in the court action as a defendant even though, I am not representing the Igbo or any structured group. I am simply putting down what I heard from the elders and what my research revealed. As a kid I spent most of my holidays in ikwerre going to farms with relatives, and as a young man I also lived and worked with them. I have an avalanche of documentary evidence that will assist any court make informed determination and perhaps burry this issue for good. I believe the court action will also include the following listed ikwerre chiefs and nobles. Some may be sued posthumously but their records will speak for them. I am also sure that Mr. Okala and Dr. M.D, Amadi, the non ikwerre Igbo are not speaking or representing any ikwerre group but are speaking for themselves. They should make good their threat. Let me remind them that “if a bee perches on a human skin without stinging it becomes a house fly” 1 Like |

Additional information can be extracted from the sources indicated above. The people have maintained that they are Igbo even when they were in Ricers Province. As regards the name ikwerre emanating from the people in a chorus “Ekwelam” we have agreed when Sir F.D. Laggard, the then Governor of Southern Nigeria asked the people a question, if they have agreed for their land to be used for the sea port and railway terminal through an Igbo interpreter is ludicrous and the greatest fabrication of the century. There was no Igbo interpreter or other Ikwerres from Isiokpo, Igwuruta, Elele or any other ikwerre towns or villages that was associated with the negotiations for acquiring land for development of Port Harcourt that resulted in HAGROVE AGREEMENT of 1912, but Diobu people who are the owners of the land. The records indicated that Chief Daniel Kalio, the head of Okirika chiefs and and his assistant chief Samson Adoki were the interpreters. Chief Kalio was the chief negotiator for the colonist. He was paid three thousand for his services. The lands acquired for the terminal and seaport were Diobu farm lands of Iguocha and Obomotu. Iguocha and Obomotu are ikwerre Ibo names.. The negotiations took place at chief Wobo and chief Atako compounds respectively. In Sir Lugar’s dispatch No. 103, paragraph 10 to the secretary of state for the colonies he said, Inter alia: “ I have already taken steps to acquire the land before fictitious claims and artificial inflations should have increased the difficulty of acquisition. The occupiers belong to a single village named Diobu ------" It did not mention ikwerre but Diobu, even though Diobu is in ikwerre a southern Igbo ethnic group. An ikwerre man from Isiokpo, Iguruta, Choba etc, has nothing to do with land in Diobu. Land tenure in Igbo land including ikwerre is based on family, linage, and village. In another dispatch to the Secretary of State for the colonies dated August 1913, Lord Lugard stated that Iguocha and Obomotu are the lands on which the seaport and the terminal shall be built. He added that Iguocha and Obomotu are ikwerre Ibo Names. The Willinkson Commission of 1958 As it relates to Port Harcourt and ethic make up of Rivers Province, the Commission Stated in Chapter 5 of its report as follows: “The Rivers Province was a recent formation and was designed to meet local standing complains of the people ---------. It includes the two divisions of Brass and Degema both overwhelming Ijew and Ogoni Division inhabited, almost entirely by a tribe of the same name. The former Rivers province also including 300, 000 Ibos of which 250,000 are in Ahoada Division and 45,000 Port Harcourt towns. Port Harcourt town is a town of recent growth and rapidly increasing importance. It is built on land originally belonging to outlaying branch of the Ibo tribe.” 2 Likes |

Dr M.D. Amadi’s article sent on June 12, 2013, to Mr. Emeka Okala the Clearing House for None =ikwerre Igbo for publication touched on several issues that do not relate to the subject matter in question. However, efforts shall be geared to addressing relevant topics of Ikwerrre being an integral part of Igbo land with very few exceptions. I shall also attach my earlier comments on this matter with the hope that the question thereto shall be addressed. It is untrue that the hinterland Igbo calls ikwerre people Di – ali and the Ikwerres call the Igbo Isuama. Di-ali is a southern Igbo word. It has several synonymous with Di-ala, and nwadiala. They all mean indigenous, free born, not a stranger, etc. An ikwerre is di-ali in ikwerre land; an Ngwa, Umuahia, and owerri are di- ala in their place or ethnic group respectively. Isuoma means stranger, none indigenous. It is derogatorily used on migrant or seasonal laborers by Owerri, ikwerre, Etche and Ngwa people. The Ngwa and Asa people interchange that word with Nwa-Ohuhu. “Mbara” is how ikwerre people end their music. I have not heard ikwerre people called that name. People may make fun of it. The use of those words whether derogatory or not abound. How about Nwanmoghi, for Ibibio, Anang, and Effik, Nyamiri, koboko and okoro for the Igbo. These are mere display of ethnocentrism. Their use is very insignificant to be linked to ikwerre not being Igbo. You guys need to be well travelled in Nigeria and other parts of Igbo land in particular. Your charge of Biafra not defending Port Harcourt is very disappointing and makes your reader wonder if you have ever read any material on wars let alone Nigeria-Biafra war. Did Enugu, Onitsha, Aba, Ikot- ekpene not over run by the federal troops. This is my first time of hearing that a country at war will purposely refuse to defend any part of her territory and in the case of Biafra, to not defend a city as viable as Port Harcourt.
