The funny thing is that a Nigerian cannot tell who is Igbo and who Ikwerre, they all speak the same language and have the same name. Even Ijaw and Ogoni who are indigenous to Rivers State dont know who is who unless told.

No matter who claims ownership of Portharcourt, any Nigerian is free to go there, live there and do whatever legitimate business they so wish.

As published on July 21, 1956:

"Port Harcourt is not Ibo (Igbo) Town." - D. K. Onwenu. Secretary to Ibo State Union
Over to you Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

"The Ibo State Union has stated that it does not opposed to the inclusion of Port-Harcourt in the proposed river State. Mr. D. K. Owenu, principal secretary to the union, said yesterday at Port-Harcourt. that the union did not dispute that Port-Harcourt is not an Ibo town."

xtgozie:




OP, you are naive about the real owners of Porthacourt, Porthacourt is owned by the Okrikas.

The Ikweres own Diobu, a sub of the porthacourt township

jerseyboy:

This is simply confirming your view. The leader of the Ibo Union in the then proposed River State was reassuring his fellow River State indigenes that Igbos do not own Port-Harcourt and do not object to Port-Harcourt being carved out of Eastern Region along with Ikweres to be in River State.

I can easily differentiate Igbos from Ikwerre and I am Rivers Ijaw, the language is distinct

gidgiddy:


The language is distinct? How? To say 'come' is 'Bia' in both Ikwerre and Igbo. What is distinct about that?

richmond500:
its not individual words but the language is distinct.
Just like Okrika and Kalabari are same but each has its own uniqueness

gidgiddy:


Then that means there is no Igbo language as everyone has there own dialect. Abakiliki have their own dialect, Enugu have their dialect, so does Imo, Anambra and Ikwerre. But they all understand each other. So who is then Igbo since everyone is speaking different dialects?

richmond500:
I said distinct.
Don't mistake the word distinct from different.

The Ikwerre's don't speak Igbo, they speak Ikwerre, ask an Ikwerre man which language he speaks, he will tell u Ikwerre, ask Anambra man and he'll tell u Igbo, the language is very much alike but some distinct differences.

Bille man speaks Kalabari but there is still difference and if u ask him which language he will tell u its Bille, A Kalabari man can communicate efficiently with Bille man but its not the same langugae

Only the Igbos feel Ikwerre language is their language, Ikwerre is slightly different, its difficult for an outsider to find the difference but for an Ikwerre man, he can easily differentiate and that's one if the main reason they tell u they aren't Igbos.

gidgiddy:


If a language is distinct, outsiders will not understand it. Once outsiders can understand the Ikwerre language, without having to learn it, then there is nothing distinct about it.

Ikwerre can claim to have have a distinct language if they want, but it will never take away from the fact that all Igbo speaking people understand what they are saying
