Oriaku Amara wishes you all a happy new month.
I want to inform everyone here about the truthful origin and genesis of the Ikwerre identity crisis,
It didn't start because of the war, No rather it started from slave trade .
Ikwerre elders know this truth,
during the Aro Confederacy between the Arochukwus,Okrikas, and Ibibios , it was built on Slave trade and other products export,
it was a successful partnership that saw a lot of products coming in and going out through okrika waterways, no wonder Igbos call imported reused cloths "Okrika" to point to where it was imported through back in those days,
so the Aros captured a lot of innocent people
in the Ibo hinterlands and sold them through Okrika waterways , when the British banished slave trade ,they sent a task force to go and arrest those slave traders and free the slaves in cage waiting to be sold,
they came and arrested some Aro chiefs including some okrika chiefs who engaged in that evil trade and free those slaves in slavecamps waiting to be sold, since they can't remember where they came from ,they settled in etche forests and some okrika territories, those people are the IKWERRES,
they were later populated by etche, Ngwa, ngor okpuala migrants,
That is the origin why they started hating people from the Igbo hinterland where Aros came from for trying to sell them,
now when the British established port Harcourt for exportation of Enugu coal through rail , the Igbos from hinterlands populated the town which is 80% on Ikwerre land, the hinterland migrants were prospering and having Influence, the ikwerres hated it especially because or these descendants of people who sold some of their people to slave trade , the only way to revenge and take hold of port Harcourt is to deny being Igbo and hate anybody from the hinterland, the civil war gave them the perfect opportunity to implement it,
If you read Elechi Amadi works, he once cited that he has no problem with all Igbos or accepting being Igbo but He has an issue with Aros.
why? He knows the real truth,
The Akalaka and Benin forged migration story is used to beef up their battered self esteem , there is no atom of truth in it.
since 1967 The ikwerres have been fighting the truth till date yet they have not succeeded in burying the truth because nothing can defeat the truth.
This is the real origin of this whole identity brouhaha, Ask any very elderly Okrika man, he will confirm what I just wrote.
Dear Ikwerres, you are free to be whatever you want but You can NEVER be a distinct ethnic nation with Igboid identity, NEVER, drop it and go create your own, Simple.
I am not claiming you guys beside it is your son Rotimi Amaechi that goes about claiming being Igbo .
history is history, even the Ogonis and Ijaws know ur real history.

Oriaku Amara loves you all.

why this


We have already accepted the ikwerre-bini history and nothing can change that....

Let it remain that way.

MelesZenawi:



why this

because the Truth is the truth

Where is MelesZenawi self.
He's always truthful here

[/quote][/s] You people from south east is disgracing Igbo nation, what hard to accept that ikwerre people are not Igbo? Must we open thread on this issue? When a man worship a lady too much he will not get the respect he deserved but when a man be the man he should be he will get the deserved respect, Igbo people from south east should let ikwerre people be and possibly deny them.

Ikwerri is landlocked and no oil ..so why do they think we want their land ...for what ?

May God bless you.

Tranquill:

Hit which nerve? You are just an irrelevant slowpoke. Ikwerre people do not know that someone like you exists. Osu like you need to go do some cleansing for your brethrens to accept you not opening stupid threads.

There are certain histories that should be allowed to lie low forever.


we have accepted and endorsed the bini story and that's what we and many knows....

ojiofor, igboid should come and refute these claims.

Amarabae:

is Ikwerre a distinct language? what is ur point?
I didn't say that they speak same dialect with etche, don't misquote me,
we are here to discuss their real history, don't quote me again,
you behave like efulefu sometimes, go and learn the ethics of ethnic politics in Nigeria.

I am glad you have realized this because your previous threads on this toxic forum did not show you had any iota of idea about this.Jisie ike.Ya gazie.

MelesZenawi:




why this


We have already accepted the ikwerre-bini history and nothing can change that....

Let it remain that way.

ikwerre-bini plus Yoruba history.

Hmm.
Ikwerre is surely going to start feeling the full fury of Igbo hate towards them from hence forth. That's the truth.
Many of us are fed up with them and their Igbophobia.
I don't know their history or where they came from, but I know that every single Ikwerre man was raised and nurtured from birth to adulthood with a toxic Igbo hate.
We can't ignore them anymore. They should stay away from us, including those of them in Ohaneze Ndiigbo and other Igbo organizations.

Thank you nwanne,
this is their real history, they have left the Igbo ship , but they must be told their pathetic history.
nobody has a monopoly of hate, I believe in brutal destroying on any Igbophobic neverdowells.

So you igbo migrants know Ikwerre history more than Ikwerre people and the great Oba of Benin?? Lol

Your mumu never do??

All this Igbo people na inferiority complex dey worry una.

Spilling trash! Now you can create another topic, nothing will change.

Go and ask your igbo parents why Ikwerre people call you igbo “Isoma” meaning laborers/slaves up till date??

Amarabae:


I am seeing a link, not "my previous post" as you claimed

That your post is full of misinformation and concerted lies to deceive and portray an ethnic minority group just because yours wants to swallow them up which they resist.
The Igbos are known for their ethnic superiority anywhere they found themselves. They try to dominate and subjugate the aboriginal communities and take charge. They are always in conflict with their host communities because they see themselves superior.
Go to every land from Lagos to Sokoto, Adamawa to Kwara it is same story. They can never be loyal and submissive to constituted authority except they are they ones in charge.
No wonder Nzeogwu and his Igbo brothers systematically murdered all the top militatry and political office holders from the North in cold blood but refused to kill even an ant from their own ethnic group.
Ojukwu followed suit by not being loyal to the newly constituted government of Gowon after the counter coup citing seniority. But this is a coup, not an appointment. Anyone, even a sergeant can become the head of state if he since stage a coup. But because the Igbos doesnt like to obey the laws of the land, be submissive they rebelled against the federal government.
What was the result.....They can never rule this country again because they are not trusted.

Give Igbos a chance by selling a plot of land to him in your community, he would want to buy the whole community and establish his own kingdom with "IGWE"

I will advise the Igbos to leave that small ethnic minority group alone and focus on how to group themselves together and fight a common interest for their own benefit.
Imagine every big nationality have ruled this country since 1999, even a the 5rd ethnic majority,Ijaw have ruled. Tinubu, a Yoruba man is warming up to again from the west, yet the Igbos can't do nothing other than looking for another ethnic group to dominate and swallow because of oil and access to the Sea.

Shame on the you who wrote this useless and misleading article.

so Ikwerres are slaves descendants? I have always suspected because no precolonial Niger delta map feature anything ikwerre.
they are irrelevant to Igbo nation, fvk them hahahahahahahahahahaha
