Y'all should chill biko.
Everytime ikwerre this; ikwerre that!.

Yes, we are distinct and YES! Our LGA's are wealthy.
Anu meka wey!!

Are you Ikwerre or yeeboo(Igbo).

Blackking98:

Uchasa
I was telling you this but you refused to listen
Now even your Igbo cousins have confirmed it
Nigeria is Igbo, hausa/fulani, Yoruba,ijaw,kanuri,ibibio/Efik, tiv then other groups follow

That man knows nothing, most people you think are Igbos are actually Ikwerres, we are just underrated, we are more than the Efiks and Ibibios joined together.

You're just 4 LGAs out of 21
Igbos are recognized
Ijaws are recognized

Who or what is ikwerre?

Ikwerre

No one would ever mistake an Ikwerre for Igbos.
The difference is always clear.

Which Ikwerre man have ever been mistaken for Igbo? I have never seen one.

How many Ikwerres venture outside Rivers state?
Not much.

Ikwerre is 3.5 LGA not 4. They share the would be 4th one, ie PHLGA with Okirikas.

Imagine
Because of the tiny influence they've had in Rivers they want to rub shoulders with big boys.
I blame those ipob Ang igbos making them feel important because the only thing they would have used to be of consequence to igbos are sea access of which ikwerre is landlocked so I don't understand the famzing

Ikwerre is just lucky to have held the power in rivers state for 13years, they are still the least endowed group in terms of oil in rivers state

BigSarah:


I am not Benin or south south I am igbo... EOD

Thank you. We are all Igbos!!!!

OfoIgbo:


I am not blaming others for the Igbophobia observed in Ikwerreland. I only made the point that anti-Igbo Ikwerres, are the ones supported by outsiders who wish to undermine Ndigbo. These are two totally different things.

Now, with regards to Igbo interest, which you profess, we should all protect. Don't you think it is in Igbo interest to have up to two sea ports instead of one seaport? We already know that Obuaku port will always be an Igbo seaport if it gets constructed.
Constructing seaports at Bonny or/and Opobo will require an extra level of work to make it work, because these two places are effectively islands, and basically cut off from the mainly, which means there should be plans in place to move cargoes from such ports to inland locations.
So realistically, the only other place to have an ideal inland seaport is PH.

With this in mind, it still makes sense (and is in Igbo interest) to accept the Ikwerre into the Igbo fold, once they make a genuine and overwhelming move to join the other Igbos.

As I proposed earlier on, the cavaet is that it must be an overwhelming move championed by a generally accepted Ikwerre umbrella organisation, and the fact that after such a move, all those Ikwerres that were dancing naked in the public to scorn the Igbos (Wike included), will be made unfit for any purpose either within Ikwerre or in the general Igbo world.

It also won't hurt the Igbo interest to increase the Igbo headcount by a few hundreds of thousands, while at the same time, displaying some fairness and brotherliness to those Ikwerres that have stuck with us through thick and thin

Remember it is all about the Igbo interest. Nothing personal, simply business. I believe Igbo interest will be enhanced if we play the ball well, otherwise, they can stick with the different ethnic identity that some of them are seeking.

I agree totally with the need for a strong and uncompromising Igbo leadership. Not the wimps we have at the moment

Of course it's in the best interest of Igbophobic people in Nigeria to be in Unity with Igbophobic elements of Ikwerres who are the outright majority there. The dark usually calls out to the dark. There should be no surprises there.
I fail to see how Ikwerre not being Igbo undermine Ndiigbo. I see nothing it adds or removes to us. It only undermine us when we keep claiming then. Immediately we come out openly to denounce them and sue anyone of them impersonating us, their game will be up.
They count on your lots to continue claiming them to remain relevant and in the news.

Ikwerres cannot offer Ndiigbo sea access too. They are technically "landlocked". Check the map well.
From Ikwerre to the sea, you will need to pass through Ijaw controlled waters, it's same problem with the Obuaku case though, only that in case of Obuaku, the Imo river starts in our territory so we can work on securing international maritime right of passage.
Ikwerre is not going to add or remove anything to Igbo land. That's the raw truth.

Nope. It doesn't make sense to ever accept Ikwerres into Igbo gatherings now or in the future, they have burned all bridges between us and them and have crossed the Rubicon, there is no coming back from where they currently are.
We cannot trust them again. They are better off on their own at this point in time.

My point is that Ikwerre coming back to join Igbo will only be a parasitic union. Since they would only do so when they feel joining us have something to offer them, and not because they feel we are kins.
A kin stand with you when you have nothing, a parasite wants to relate with you when he has something to gain.
If we get our shit together ever again, only groups who stuck around now that we are at our lowest should have the rights to wear the Igbo tag.
The rest can stick with their current non Igbo tags and should do well to retain their Bini stories.
We would be stupid and naive to forget their current actions by admitting them back.


Increasing our headcount can easily be done by increasing our birth rate. We have one of the most fertile women on planet earth which is while our small land mass always had high population density and why neighboring minority groups including Ikwerres sort vigorously for our women.
We don't need any useless toxic Bini people to inflate our population, we can always do it within.

Let me tell you , Ikwerres remaining non Igbos would even make our negotiations for sea passage with minorities down south easier. Ikwerres accepting Igbo tag will even complicate things for us. Ijaws need land, we need sea, Ikwerres separate us both, I'm sure you can figure it out.

Yes! We need a strong leadership that can act without emotions, remorse or sentiments in securing Igbo interests as well as protecting the Igbo tag from haters who seek to denigrate it, and impostors and opportunists looking to exploit it.
I don't see that leadership in Ohanaeze or IPOB, but I'm hopeful that one day. That leadership will arise and we will be better for it.

Udo.

IkwerrePikin:


My friend your biafra is nothing to write about that is why you people end up being migrants all over the world which shows you are no difference from Fulani.

The only difference between fulani and igbo is the type of business they do. Claiming other peoples land.

You are deceiving yourself and yourself alone.
The Chinese are at every nook and cranny of the world including your village, is their home nothing to write home about or is your village better than theirs?
Continue deceiving yourself while you are being colonised in your own homeland.

It's senseless IPOB I blame.
IPOB has finished Ndiigbo.

Una no dey taya fr dis mata ni? Evriday na Ikwerre Ikwerre we don taya abeg.

Today it is Braced Union, tomorrow they will create Hat Trick Union.


Black fools


Anyway, Ikwerre as Igbo or not does not free us from the Nigger Area, nor develop our hospitals or roads.

It is and has become a distraction, talk talk day in day out.


If you have Igbo name and say you are Igbo fine, if you have Igbo name and say you are Japanese fine, it is up to you.

People should not try to force people to be or not to be.

Yorubas that are saying this and that should shut up.
Igbos that are saying Ikwerre are this or that should shut up
An Ikwerre speaking on behalf of all Ikwerre should shut up.

Let each decide and move on...

CHEI

Igboid:


Which owners of the land? Have you gone to Ikwerrand before and spoken with the youths about Igbo or Biafra?

I bet you have never done that. You are too lazy for such venture. You sit in your shop in Ochanja and listen to deluded Radio Biafra, when you could go find things out yourself.

Fulani invading our land has nothing to do with the fact that Ikwerres are not Igbos.
Stop obfuscating issues.

What is wrong with you people. Are you this slow?

What are you insinuating?? Are you trying to tell me that, Ikweres are not in IPOB and ohaneze ndi Igbo?? Have you ask yourself, why ikwerres are in these groups if they don't see themselves as Igbo.

Stop being clever by half it is not every Igbo that is into buying and selling.
If radio Biafra is deluded, tell us what adjective we are to use in qualifying NTA and channels tv.

Saying that Ikwerre is not Igbo portrays you as agent of division and am sure that is what you came here to do.
You must be very slow to think that if you say Ikwerre is not Igbo somehow their Igbo identity will no longer exist.

Uchasa:

Lol, look at this one. You're just decieving yourself. Ikwerre is a minute minority, more like a clan! You're even claiming to be more in numbers than the Ibibios?! Are you kidding me? There is no city you will go to in Nigeria that you will not find Ibibio people. They're easily recognized outside their state, be it in Lagos, Abuja, Kano or all over the SE. However, go outside your state tell people you're Ikwerre and see if a good number of them won't ask you what is Ikwerre

I can even bet you there are more Igbos in P.H than there Ikwerre, you guys are that small.

Blackking98:

You're even overestimating them. They're sharing some of those LGA's with other tribes and coupled with the fact that parts of P.H lies in their community that is why they have more LGA than they ordinary should. By population, Ikwerre won't have more than one LGA if not for P.H. Yet the dude is comparing it with Ibibio that makes up an entire state and also found in Cross River as well as large communities all over Nigeria.

Secondly, Ikwerre people are naturally laid-back and go-lucky people who hardly ventures beyond P.H. They would prefer to be selling land and reselling same lands to unsuspecting buyers while their youths will be roaming about taxing petty traders or oil companies to give them stipends. SMH!

I've told him the only way they can have relevance outside Rivers State is by claiming to be Igbo people.
Be comparing themselves to ibibios who are light years ahead of them

Cosbyrich:


You mean you will force them to be Igbos while history and their roots say otherwise?

Prof Dike said Igbos are not indigenous to Delta.
Igbos were slaves and migrants that had a large population.
Are you debating what historians including Prof Dike said?

This is the article...

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2018/03/igbo-politics-nigeria/amp/

Prof Dike did not say the bolded on the above post. Rather Prof Dike state "In the words of Dr. W B Baikie, who interviewed King William Dappa Pepple of Bonny in Fernando Po in 1854, “the King of New Calabar [Kalabari] and Pepple King of Bonny were of Ibo descent, of which also are the mass of the natives.” Even the King of Bonny was of Igbo descent. The sentence indicated that even the King of Bonny and mass of natives, thus, Kalabari were of Igbo ancestry. I had no illusion that Prof Dike is the father of historical facts about Nigeria.

Being a minute minority no sweet o
He should tell me how me as an ibibio man still has my culture and language distinctly intact even after being neighbors with igbos for thousands of years while his people that migrated from bini recently have forgotten their culture so fast
Nonentities looking for relevance, I blame ipob and some igbos who don't have self respect for making a clan of 3.5LGA feel important.

They were not just lucky but they've been riding on the back of the huge Igbo population in the state as well other Igboid groups that allow them based on the spirit of brotherhood that made it seem like they're more in number. However, by the time they completely expose themselves as Bini people, Igbos will have no choice than to rally round our Igbo brothers in the state and give them our maximum support.

Igboid:


Under no circumstances should Ikwerres be accepted as Igbos ever again.
That would be a foolish move.

You don't accept opportunist who only identify with you when the going is good, but not only deny you, but become chief leader of hostilities, lies and calumny against you, when you are down.

An example should be made of Ikwerres, to ensure that no other Igbo group tries to leave the Igbo Union when the going goes tough in the future.
That's how you do things.

I am with you on the bolded. Ikwerre is Bini and nothing could be done about it. The silly Ogbakor Ikwerre and dubious characters such as Elemchi Amadi spearheaded the denial of their Igbo ancestry.
