emotional torment by neverdowells?
you confuse Igbos with proud Igbos, proud Igbos don't give a hoot about you guys because you bring nothing to the table both in producing tecnorats, business men, money , exposure etc.
u guys are free to have ur own tribe but not with Igboid identities, since 1967 you lots have been trying over this but keep failing and will continue to fail

OriakuAmara:
sorry you are talking to Oriaku Amara, go through my account and know me very well

OriakuAmara:

so pained
isoma means stranger, even many IMO communities use the term just like ngwas use "Ohuhu" to refer to Strangers.
you lots are descendants of Arochykwu slaves, fullstop

24SEVEN:


Look at this Mgbeke. Abeg go and park well. Who you.

OriakuAmara:

my happiness is that your fathers were under identity crisis, you the sons are still under it and your coming generation will still be under it,
looks like a generational curse.
its a pity.

Igboid:


Hating them back will make them keep their hate in check knowing that we can also hurt them without any blink and that we don't consider them kins and therefore will never hesitate in dealing with their excesses.
It keeps everyone in check and good for peace.

Ikwerres are not Igbos. Believe me, I have lived with and studied these people. Everything about Ikwerre except their language, names and traditional institutions, scream non Igbo.

Ikwerre independence from Ndiigbo MUST be supported and reinforced by Igbo nationalists to keep the Igbo safe from the hate emanating from those people.

SexSkillz:
I just don't understand these zeta Jews anymore.

You stated that the Ikweres are descendants of freed slaves who were captured by Igbo slave raiders from across Igbo land awaiting to be shipped but set freed by the British.

You then stated this is why the Ikweres reject the Igbo nationality and then go on to insult them for rightfully rejecting you.

I have read so many times here how you Igbos boast about not being submissive and slavish to any race, power or man.

The Ikwere rejection of Igbo is this in line with that same Igbo spirit .

The history narrated by OP is correct as I have heard and read about how the Ikwere people came to settle in Rivers.

The entire Bini narrative is false.

The Ikweres to my understanding have divorced themselves from the Igbos and have forged a better history for themselves rather than accept the bitter pill that their own kit and kin betrayed and sold them into slavery.

In as much as this is the truth, you Igbo judades should let them be and concentrate on your 5 boundary states and your Jewish allies.

24SEVEN:



The threads upon threads to wail about Ikwerres is on perpetual mode.

Ikwerre don't care about Igbo brotherhood. We no send una. If you don't like our Igbophobia, kindly cross boundary back to wherever you came from

You're flogging a dead horse. Ikwerre has no affiliation with Igbo. We have a distinct identity. Our language regardless of closeness with Igbo remains our language. Don't stress yourself over issues you have no control over. The Ikwerre language, culture and traditions will remain Ikwerre identity. Learn to live with it.

Look at this ewu. so it is that whøre called Amarachi you are vouching for. That silly thing who is angry that Ikwerre doesn't carry Asa along in Rivers State is the one you're calling Daughter of soil. Which soil? biko nzuzu ebea puo.

Igboid:


Nolu jii! Amarachi bu ezinne and Ada Igbo.

Her opinions matters.

Every single Igbo should be angry about how Ikwerre has oppressed Asa and Ndoki in Rivers because the people will not drop their Igbo tag.

You lots are evil and Igbos are only startingto zero in on you. We will treat your Bleep up very well.

We are cooking something special for you lots, when we are done, you will never finish the food.

MelesZenawi:


Has it reached to this extent of name calling and verbal attacks??

MelesZenawi:


Secondly, you attack her based on facts not verbal attacks.

the young lady has been a good advocate for ndigbo and you should disparage her because she stands for igbos and with igbos.

Don't attack her because she believes in Igbo.

You are attacking her because she refused to cast aspersions on igbo...

once again be guided.

[s]If you come to Ibadan, you see people speaking a single dialect. but an indept study will reveal several people with different origins such as ekiti, ibarapo, ijebu and even nupe which is why we made it our capital. Does it mean all Ibadan have a single origin? no.[/s]

Ooni:
[s]nje o ka nkan ti mo ko? Did I say nupe is Yoruba?[/s]

Ooni:
[s]for giving out unadulterated history?
Every sensible omoluabi knows that Ibadan rose when distinct group of Yorubas and non Yoruba's congregated to seek refuge from the southward surge of Fulani islamists. It didn't become a sudden large and unplanned city by a stroke of fortune. It was once described as the largest and oldest continuing refugee camp in the globe. The ban on history has affected our youths adversely.[/s]

Ooni:
Someone mistakes Bonny for so-called Ikwerre. "so-called" because what is today called ikwerre just like anioma ibos , and like ekiti toois more of a cultural area than a people with common origin. They migrated from various various other areas in Iboland. for instance, the founder of isiokpo itself was a man called Okpo nwagidi said to come from Awka but there are still aro migrants in in isiokpo. Much of Obio akpor came from ngwa while areas such as Diobu, Elelenwa are much older settlements themselves. This just a reflection of cross migrations and settlement in the wider Iboland. this is why even among them there still exist variations in dialects. Do you even know there are Ikwerre settlements in about two towns Anambra?

Although there was no Ibo nationalism in precolonial times, it was clear that Igboland was a homogeneous entity and communities had no issue relating. It was clear also that pre-1970 when Ibo nationalism had started, the ikwerre like other Ibos were nationalistic. It is safe therefore to aver that the inertia to Ibo nationalism exhibited by many of them operates from the Nigerian state's systematic and consistent policy aimed at culturally disarticulating them from the Ibo whole.

I read books about our history, the ibo history and that of igala. This happed in yorubaland too

bigfrancis21:

I noticed it as well, that Ikwerre dialects are like a mixture of dialects together. Some Ikwerre dialects have pronounced Owere influence, and some are more centralized, tending towards Anambra like ie. 'o malu mma', 'wene yi' (nwanne yi, the 'yi' being popular in Onitsha and environs).

RedboneSmith:


Nobody says o malu mma in any Ikwerre dialect. It is o maru mma. Nobody says yi either.
