Udmaster:Why can't Igbo man bear Ijaw name? They bear Yoruba names and Hausa names. Or are you saying it is because they consider Ijaw beneath them. The obnoxiousness and arrogance of you folk is unbelievable 2 Likes |

Henry240: My yoruba brother from Oshogbo, we yorubas must keep fasting and praying that Rivers Igboids hate SE Igboids. It will make us happy and keep the oil flowing. We need the oil in Oshogbo to pay salaries. Even though a yorubaman was flogged with chain by an Ikwerreman last week in PH, for saying Ikwerre is not Igboid. We urge that our hospitalized yoruba taxi driver not to give up in divide-and-rule so that oil can keep flowing. We also wish him speedy recovery from the Ikwerre beatings. 16 Likes 1 Share |

It all boils down to OIL. That's the major reason why the Ikwerre people are denying their heritage. Even the word Ikwerre is from the Igbo dialect. [color=#990000][/color] 3 Likes |

Lol, Umu and Rumu are still the same, especially when they mean the same thing when translated, other igbo clans also have varieties of dialects too, Ikweres should stop fooling around and show us overwhelming evidence of their separate ethnic identity. 4 Likes |

Eastern region came into existence in 1954 and people like Elechi Amadi was born in 1934 that is 20 years before Eastern region was extablished and he was named Elechi which is obviously Igbo name by his father whose fathers name was Amadi. Again,who forced Elechi Amadi ancestors to name their children Igbo names way before Europeans set foot in Eastern region! 12 Likes |

iyke649:It's not oil but ethnic interest. Ikwerre and Igbo are at least 90% the same but the 10% difference needs to be conserved for future generations lest Igbo assimilates everything as a much larger group. You can compare this with Urhobo vs Isoko. 1 Like |

The problem Ikwerre people have is that they can't claim to be 'distinct' when they speak a dialect of Igbo and have Igbo surnames. Anyone can say that language was borrowed or forced on people. However, how can you explain having an Igbo surname? Especially when there is no record of Igbos ever forcing anyone to change their surname? 10 Likes |
