Igboid: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. 3 Likes |

Blackking98: 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. 2 Likes |

Notasyouthink: 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. 3 Likes |

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.

Notasyouthink: 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. 1 Like |

proeast: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. I hope you will not runaway |

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: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? |

Spiff20: 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.. |

Notasyouthink: 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" |

Spiff20: 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? |

Igboid: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 |
