You lots cannot be redeemed.
You are irredeemable.

Ikwerre is not Igbo.

I should be the one telling you that.
Nigger-areans are irredeemable that is why don't know that they are Britain slaves.

Ikwerre is Igbo if you don't like it, you're free to go and kiss a viper.

Point of correction, it is not rumu it is umu.

Blackking98:
bros that talk funny me. He even said ibibios should leave port Harcourt for ikwerres
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.

Lol, who dash monkey banana. Why would they ask anyone to leave P.H? The question is, do they own P.H?

P.H like Warri is jointly owned by three different groups and no particular group can lay claim to it. The Ikwerres don't own any significant town or talk more of city. What gives people the impression that they own P.H is due to the large Igbo presence that makes it seem like Ikwerre owns the city.

Their parents lied to them that it was due to long periods of interacting with Igbos that made them to lose their Bini language and culture. Yet we Igbos have interacted with Ibibios, Anangs, Efiks, Ijaws etc. and they all still maintained their languages and cultures till this day.

Stop being unnecessarily stubborn. Ikwerres are not Igbos. Forget about the similarities in language and culture they borrowed from us, it is nothing, they can use it. In the North there are many minorities using the Hausa language and culture even when they're not Hausa.

Ikwerres are from Bini and even their lifestyle should tell you so. Do we Igbos behave the way do? There are lots of Igbo groups in Rivers State but Ikwerre is not one of them. We have nothing in common with them.

Those lads have a false sense of grandure. They have more to loose if they deny being Igbo because I didn't even know after all these noise they made for ruling rivers they are only native to 3.5 LGA .
it's quite amusing o, my LGA is less than 30minutes away from arochukwu yet I'm still speaking my ibibio, we didn't forget our culture. A non-entity who doesn't know his roots wants to come and rub shoulder's

But Ikwerre are the one saying loudly they are not Igbo must you get attached to them before you can get your Biafra?
Anyway if your supreme leader can add Edo tribes and some Northern minority tribes into his utopia country then trying to convince about Ikwerre is a waste of time.

Press Statement
BRACED Union Counters Amaechi's Claim That Ikwerres Are Igbos
The BRACED Union, an umbrella group of Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River, Edo and Delta States of the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria has countered the claim recently made by the Minister of Transport, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi that the people of Ikwerre in Rivers State are Igbos by origin.
The group in a statement endorsed by its National President, High Chief Monday Wehere is in sharp disagreement with such assumption by Amaechi, admonishing him not to bring the people of South-South into the unfavourable Nigerian political climate for personal interest.
The statement said that Amaechi in the first instance has no locus standing to speak on behalf of the Ikwerre people or the South-South region. The group believes that Amaechi has not attained that status of a rallying figure no matter the level he has climbed to in politics.
According to the statement, "History has it that in the early nineties, the white man was looking for labourers and so they approached the Ikwerres and their surrounding neighbours of Kalabari, Okrika and Eleme who flatly refused them for labour. The white man therefore, penetrated the Igbo hinterlands and recruited very willing labourers. And that was the beginning of the Igbo man's adventure in Ikwerre land. However, the administrative arrangements of the white man wrongly posited the Ikwerre and other peoples of Southern Nigeria into the Eastern region, largely dominated by the Igbos.
"So to now claim that the Ikwerres are Igbos because of communal proximity and mix-up is an aberration. As an Ikwerre man, that statement was least expected from Rotimi Amaechi who should know better where the Ikwerre man stands in terms of origin and root. But in case he doesn't know or pretends not to know, he should consult history gurus from Ikwerre rather than throwing up political tantrums to score a cheap one", the statement read in parts.
In addition, the group insisted that as the mouthpiece of the South-South people in terms of advocacy for cultural renaissance, progressive reorientation, building of capacity for inter-BRACED States economic growth and development, it would continue to speak for and protect the interest of the people of the BRACED States.
"We cannot be hoodwinked by political gimmicks. We know who we are, and we are resolute in achieving our own identity independently", the statement further averred.

Ikwere people are from Igodomigodo, they are one of our clan. They have nothing to do with the Igbos.

Tranquillity360:
We Ikwerre are not Ibo.



We are south south.















We are Yorubas.

Lol

Of cause you are Yoruba because your not Ikwerre

Hellraiser77:
We ikwerre have half Bini half Yoruba ancestry, we borrowed Igbo language for awhile, we will return it after we learn our Bini/Yoruba language

Ikwere has no business with binis or Yoruba

MelesZenawi:




The DNA long said Bini as their origin...

They are partially Yorubas also.


Proved.

Ikwerres has no business with Yoruba or bini

They are indegenous people of Igodomigodo

One thing in me is that I hate division especially when it is the enemy that is trying so hard to bring the division.

I will only believe that Ikwerre is from Bini if you can show me;
1) Bini tradition in Ikwerre tradition.
2)bini food in their food.
3)bini dressing in their dressing
4)bini kingdom in their kingdom.
5)bini names in their names.

Lastly, tell me the meaning of Ikwerre and iwuruoha which happens to be the ancestors of Ikwerre.

Which other tribe shares ownership of Obio akpor-local government which seizes a sizable chunk of the city of Port Harcourt? Enlighten me pls....

I'm more inclined to believe Ikwerres are not Igbos since they lack the typical industrious nature of the Igbos. An Ikwerre man prefers to work rather do business. An Igbo man has this rare entrepreneurship blood, takes it to the most infertile ground and thrives there. This can't be said of the ikwerres, who are more interested in other ventures. Every other tribe that claims not to be Igbo also lacks this entrepreneurial drive. Or you guys haven't noticed it yet? Why isn't the blood manifesting in that line?

Igboid:


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.

How many Rivers people venture out of Rivers, when the state is the third most viable economy in the country. Do you move to greener pastures or less green pastures. Why is this so difficult to understand about Rivers People? You expect a Rivers man to leave Port Harcourt for Akwa Ibom to go and hustle? or owerri, enugu, Kaduna, osogbo, Borno?

Any tribe can be industrious..even yorubas ..southeast igbos started doing business immediately after the civil war the land was reduced to nothing by bombs and shells so it was the strife to survive by all means that made southeast Igbos more industrious starting with the apprenticeship system..

Igboid:


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

Not that I'm disputing this fact but I'm yet to see a Mayor or Chairman of Port Harcourt local government from okrika. Even deputy sef or a member of House of Assembly. Doesn't that tell you the Ikwerres hold the majority in the shared local government of how many villages sef
Elekahia
Ogbunuabali
Nkpogu
Oroworukwo
Diobu
Abuloma
Town
Okujagu

After asking all this questions you will still turn around and call yourself a Jew/Hebrew even though you have nothing in comon with them not even color of skin.Anyway and Ikwerre man have something to tell you here.,


#PROF.SC ACHINEWHU RESPONDED TO THE CRA'S ASSERTION THAT IKWERE IS IGBO WHICH HAS BEEN GENERATING WIDE FURORE AFTER I SYNDICATED IN ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Proff Simeon Achinewhu just wrote on Akalaka/Ochichi Platform:

"I am responding to this statement of :"Ikwerre is Igbo" I am very sorry for the ignorant Ikwerre man or woman who does not know the History of his/her ethnic group. I have stated before that when I was a boy in the 40s we here the exclamation Ikwerre Ochichi.It was later in life that attempts were made by ethnic groups to research and compile their Histories independently.When these Histories were published, there was serious similarity in the History of Ekpeye, Ogba and Ikwerre.They all had the same Hostory of two brothers Akalaka and Ochichi who left Bini Kingdom in the 13th century because of disturbance and eventually settled after several trips through thick forest and water ie Niger River,Orashi and Sombreiro Rivers and settled in their present abodes.Akalaka the senior was father to Ekpeye and Ogba while Ochichi was father to Ikwerre.I connected this to the Ikwerre Ochichi I heard in the 40s as a village boy. The first neighbours Ikwerre man encountered was the Riverine people of Kalabari and Okrika.Ikwerre man had no contact with an Igbo man until the 19th century only after the advent of the white man when roads were opened.The climax was in I913 on the acquisition of Port Harcourt from the Rebisi people.The white man was looking for labourers and the Ikwerre and the surrounding neighbours ie Kalabari, Okrika and Eleme refused to be labourers.The white man therefore had to penetrate the Igbo hinterland and recruited very willing labourers.That was the beginning of Igbo man's adventure into Ikwerre.The administrative arrangement of the white man wrongly posited Ikwerre and other people of Southern Nigeria into Eastern region dominated by the Igbos.The 4 cardinal points are East West North and South. Nigeria was wrongly divided into North East and West. The area called the Niger Delta is the geographical South. The Ikwerre man would have clearly been a Southerner and not an Easterner.Ojukwu followed that mistake and included the Niger Delta people in his Biafra and that was why Biafra failed.The people of Niger Delta escorted the Nigerian through local bush paths to cut off or ambush the Biafran soldiers which led their defeat.This happened through out what is now Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwalbom and Cross River State. Ikwerre is intimately associated with the Niger.Ikwerre has distinct culture, tradition, dressing, dancing including masquerade, topography etc quite different from the Ibos.Name does not make an Ikwerre man an Ibo. A person answering a name similar to Igbo name does not make a man an Igbo. There are so many Nigerians answering English names or shall we report Goodiuck Jonathan to Uk"

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

Chief how do you get lucky for 13 years?

You are deceiving yourself and yourself alone.

Atigba:


Ikwerres has no business with Yoruba or bini

They are indegenous people of Igodomigodo

Which year was this ethnic group manufactured?
Only in Nigeria

Blackking98:

Those ikwerre people are so funny
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

Akwa Ibom man we know Ibibio is 5th largest ethinicity in Nigeria would your people be ready to be absorbed into Biafra when it happens and become a minute minority? Remember your brother Effiong was a warlord and Biafra covers you.

Spiff20:
China is enroute to world power are you?

This is obfuscation.

You argument is that people don't leave their homeland for less developed places in search of opportunities.
What does having a route to world power have to do with Chinese all over the most remote villages in Africa looking to make a living and even at most times illegally?
One should think Chinese coming from developed country wouldn't need to go to less developed countries to try and earn a living?

who told you Chinese expatriates are looking to eke a living in remote villages in Nigeria? They're either there as contractors with construction companies building roads and bridges and mapping out areas to set up military bases just like America. Don't you know China plans on buying Nigeria and other African countries through offering them astronomical loans they can't pay back in 10 decades. How chinese man go come hustle for remote village like bama or koma? think am na
