That's because they don't have a strong identity different from the Igbos like Ikwerres.

Some Ikwere people walk a tight rope act, they don't want to be classed as Igbo maybe for sentimental reasons or just autonomy but I also believe it has become sexy to be an oil rich 'minority'. On the other edge of the sword literally everyone sees them as the Igbo people who sometimes deny being Igbo, if even the latter part, and River State politics of 'upland' (code for Igbo) and lowland shows this.

Many Ikwere people see themselves as Igbo.

The rest aren't vocal about turning down opportunities given to them because they're (perceived as) Igbo.



Anioma people are probably the most pro-Igbo 'ethnic nationalist' type of Igbo because of their history. No wonder about the make up of the coup plotters being Anioma.
