portharcourt was never called Calabar , the place is was called Calabar is occupied by the kalabari not the ikwerres

IkwerreSon:


The mumu don’t even know about we the Ikwerre People, our history traced to Benin and you’re here arguing. Lol

there are different versions, there is also the igbo migration version
u can choose to believe any of the versions

btw, i keep hearing that so many people including the people from onitsha, ikwerre, etche, urhobo etc migrated from benin kingdom according to pundits
my only wonder is why they didnt go along with the benin language because this language is only spoken in the benin city/kingdom and not a widespread language the way they make people believe that everybody migrated from there

how come people that migrated from benin will tend to speak igbo that they didnt migrate from.
but how come the igbo language is a more widespread language than benin

You outsiders will never understand the politics going on in Rivers state! He was referring to those who say its their turn to rule Rivers; won't mention names. He also made a political statement that implies that power will still remain in Igboid Rivers.
Useless OP, leave the Igbos out of this!
Igbos are our big brother and so shall it be forever.
Meka!!

I challenge you that you r not an Ikwerre man. Prove me wrong.

If you're not Yoruba, the ultimate supreme tribe... wetin una gain?

Ijebu to the world.... Yoruba 4 Life!

What he means to say is we are not Ibos. Shame that instead of supporting an ethnic group that is being clearly marginalised, he is helping to ostracise them. Ikwerre people better be careful. The day will come when you will NdiIgbo and you will be forced to eat your words.

The truth is Nobody is forcing anyone to be Igbo. When all these groups start crying that they are not Igbo, it is because their own members are claiming Ibo ,not the Ibo claiming them. So they are to discourage their own members by saying "We are not Ibo. Being Igbo or any ethnicity is a state of mind. You can exile yourself if you want. Nobody is trying to force you.

being Igbo or any ethnic group is a state of mind? Was your brain on pause when you wrote that?

IkwerreSon:


You’re confused. First is Ikwerre are igbos now you’re saying Ikwerrres are igbos or related to the Igbos. Lol


You see how dumb you are like I said before?

Davido named his son Ifeanyi, go and tell Davido that his son is Igbo. Lol

Edos answer Yoruba names, go and tell them they are Yorubas and not Edos. Lol

If you check very well this mumu arguing with me is a secondary school student. That is why he is so confused and hates the truth.

Every tribe is related to one another in Nigeria due to inter marriage. Even igbos marry Hausa.

We Ikwerre people are not Igbos. If we marry your women just like Davido, and we give birth to a child and name him Amaechi because of the Igbo wife doesn’t make Amaechi Igbo. After all his full name Is: Rotimi Amaechi! Is he now Igbo and not Yoruba? Or he is Yourba and not Igbo He is an Ikwerre man irrespective of the name mumu learn and stop being stupid.

Americans answer British names and they are not British. Foolish local landlocked fools like you can’t understand this.

Tell me if these are Igbo names just to name a few.

Chinda
Okabie
Ovunda
Ibaa
Owhonda,
Nkanunye,
, Mekini,
Orowhuo

These are Ikwerre names just to name a few.

We and the igbos have had interaction over the past just like every other ethnic group in Nigeria and we got married to your Igbo women which is the reason why we have some Ikwerrre people bear igbo names.

We still have our culture and traits related to the Benin and some of them are Igboid too which is normal with africans.

In the South south, we have similar cultures with that of the Ijaws, ogonis, Efik etc. Nobody can be 100% different form others. In Benin, Ghana and other african countries they have similar cultures but different languages which some are similar with each other that is why we are africans not just by color or name, our traditions are similar.

Try to learn about other tribes don’t remain in your red mod and think anyone who share any similarities with igbos are Igbos. Lol

The Igbo cultural yam festival celebration is not only practice by the igbos. It is practice all over african because we africans share similars traits.

But your Igbo greedy and attach by force plus inferiority complex will not allow you accept this into your dumb brain.

you imposter I can't read this long trash you wrote up there, make it shorter with points without sentiment, Igbo as an ethic group has minority tribes who speak igbiod dialects namely , epkeye, ika , enuani, izzi,ikwo, ezza, mgbo, and ogba , all these igbiod tribes are found in Delta, Rivers state, enonyi and Edo

bring up facts that this tribes and not igbiod tribes , am waiting pls make it short

if you claim the reason ikweres have Igbo names and practice Igbo tradition is by just mere marriage, then I can claim igbos got married to ikweres and corrupted the Igbo language or can you proof is the other way round?

Balogunodua:

I could bet you're not from ikwerre from the way you write but let me put it clear to you that Ikwerre has brothers in Ikwerre same way Igbo's has brothers in Igbo so stop writing that crap that Igbo is a big brother to Ikwerre.
Ikwerre as the governor clearly says is independent.

Now read:
A group under the auspices of Concerned Youths of Niger Delta (CYND) has threatened to attack Igbo interests in River State, following the weekend attack on Minister of Transportation, Chief Chibuike Amaechi, by Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Madrid, Spain.

Worried by the development, which they de- scribed as a ‘national embarrassment,’ the youth group drawn from the six Niger Delta states of Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Cross River and Edo, threatened to destroy Igbo properties, especially in Rivers State.

According to Ndamati; “IPOB should remember that all Igbo in South-South have and do businesses in Rivers State, particularly in Ikwere land, which happens to be Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi’s ethnic nationality. “We are going to destroy all Igbo properties in Ikwerre land and Niger Delta, should they fail to tender an unreserved apology to Amaechi and Ikwerre ethnic nationality, within seven days.

so because u married igbo women thats why u bear igbo names - hmnm
so u mean in ikwerreland it is the wives that gives the children their names
but ikwerres got married to other tribes too why are the children not bearing the names of those tribes and why didnt other tribes corrupt the ikwerres too since they are vulnerable to being corrupted

dukeprince50:
I did not mention Igbo, why are you hating? mind you I am from rivers state, not Ikwerre anyways

I did not write that you mentioned Igbos also. I was just giving you a point of information.

Well, if you are from Rivers state, you should have known he was not at all, referring to Igbo Riverians.
Igbo Riverians occupy up to 5-6 LGAs in Rivers state, excluding the 4 Ikwerre LGAs. So it is clear he is not referring to either Igbos Riverians or SEners.

I suspect he said what he said either because another ethnic group in Rivers state may have singled out Ikwerre people for verbal attacks or something in that direction.

You may not know this, but it was Ikwerre elders and SE Igbos that hatched the plot that produced the Rivers state of today. Igbo Riverians played little role. But it was mainly the Ikwerre elders and SE Igbos who were clandestinely at the forefront of modern Rivers state.

please save this trash, get off threats and destroying of properties etc , I asked you about the history of ikwere and how they are an ethic group of their own or originally from bini like you claim, let's finish with this first,


and how can you tell the difference between an Igbo man from South East and an Igbo man in Niger Delta, they all answer Igbo names and speak Igbo language, did the Nigerian soldiers spare the igbos in Delta during the civi war? didn't they separate them from other delta tribes and killed all the Igbo men in asaba?which are originally from asaba?

but u claim non igbo just to spite the igbo

the question i have for u is:
why does the non igbo riverine people refer to u people as igbos during elections and they even use it as campaign against u in elections
they mostly refer to u people as " that igbo man" even though u have been asked to claim otherwise
u can just keep deceiving urselves just to please the SW and north

I am from Rivers State and has spent 20yrs+ in Rivers, there is no other ethnic group here that is agitating, the politics in Rivers is different from the one u have in Nigeria were one ethnic group wants to dominate and think they are superior to the other, the thing here is that, who ever PDP brings will win irrespective of ethnicity.
so u shouldn't suspect anything cos we are not at war with each other here.

If igbos are being marginalized what would you say about the lesser tribes? I keep telling people that having an igbo man as president would not change anything,because we've got our priorities wrong. It would only continue the same nepotism and corruption that's been the norm. Because behind this fight for representation is the same selfish interest of greedy politicians also wanting a slice of the pie. As for the masses? As long as they have "their man" in power they wouldn't care if they still continued living impoverished lives, so far they boost their collective egos. This is the motive behind our voting habits, and it's just sad.

Our Zoning system is anti-nationalistic, it's just wrong.It wouid have been better if we'd gone our separate ways than continue in this sham of a federal system. No tribe should feel entitled to the seat of power. It is our collective responsibility as citizens to elect anybody we see fit, irrespective of gender, ethnicity, or religion. On the basis of a sound political ideology and an enviable track record. Let's wise up abeg

why will I want to spite Igbo's. I like them a lot. i just see myself as a different ethnicity from Igbo's, regardless of similar culture and language.

the same culture and language
the same looks, the same food, the same believes, the same geographical location so how then are u different

or can u state the differences?

the question is don't ikweres have history of origin? why are they tied up in the Igbo tradition and culture if they are an ethic group different from Igbo, did Igbo colonize them? part of Igbo was colonize by the igala kingdom yet Igbo language was not corrupted by igala language
