Igbos just want to grab those people's land n oil

Don't worry they will force d next ohaneze president on Benue state so they can claim there too

Bunch of clowns

What's the hurried Lagos-Calabar highway for if not for your SW region grabbing more of the mineral resources in Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa states? Most ShophistiWretched lot. Over sabi weh sabi little. Who will maintain the road?

gidgiddy:
Mbata and Wike are two Ikwerre men from the same LGA. One says he is Igbo, the other said he is not Igbo. Some Ikwerres says they are Igbo, others say they are not. I suspect that those who trace their ancestry to Bini are the ones who say they are not Igbo, who can blame them? They are Bini people, like Wike

The Igbo nation already has enough population, we don't necessarily need more

Wike's mother might have told him his real father so he might be right in his of not being igbo.

Bede2u:
First of all, most oil currently in Rivers are in the sea and Ijaw/Ogoni areas. So yea, even if Edo has more oil than SE, we still have more oil than Ikwere.
Two, far away land you say? Well Ikwere and Igbo share a direct border. Nothing separates us, not water, not even artificial state creation because there are many towns in Rivers like Obiigbo who don't have identity crisis.
So go and sit on something sharp, talking about something you know nothing about.

Edo state doesn't even have as much oil as Anambra has talk more of SE.
Those people with 6 parallel lines on their miserable faces know nothing except what happens around ogbomosho cave

Thank God Almighty that some of his kinsmen said they are Igbos, while his is bini.It is very possible because in delta state,we have bini,olukumi and igala people who are indigene of the state most especially in delta north where 95 percent are igbo.We have Igbos in kogi,benue,edo,cross river and akwa ibom state but in few numbers.Igbo unite is not about separation but about one family coming together.Biafra is not an igbo affair as some people think,Biafra is majorly ijaw,igbo,efik etc.

Nde Isoma go too cry today.
We need more of this from our prominent figures.

Wait a minute is not by force to force love…. Wike said is not an Igbo man does not mean you should hate him or disrespect him this way…. See life is a funny world… you don’t force someone to love you. Your deed will let people love you. The question is why always many of Igbo immigrants are running away from Igbo race don’t know you know there is someone hiding under that act…. Igbo should not claim people… people are the ones to claim them. So wake up

donmixc:
Ibo people no even send you nah

Foolish man

Helinues is too early to start trolling

Get a job, you claimed to have din and whine with one invincible governor, yet nothing to show for it😂🤣

Ikwerre is Ikwerre.
You Isoma people will keep crying for unity.

No one cares.

Bede2u:
if you know of a local government in this our one Nigeria that speaks your language 100% and follows your customary practices but says they have 'nothing' to do with you, won't you find it strange?
That's what's happening here bro, nothing to do with oil or Biafra. I never hear say Enugu man steal Imo state oil. Even Ebonyi that accepts being Igbo said they are not part of Biafra. Ikwere can be Igbo and still refuse to be part of Biafra or share their oil with SE. We have more oil in SE than ALL ikwere local government areas combined.

Leave people to make their choices regarding their identity now. Na you go force them to attach by force? This attitude of yours will make your Biafra dream a pipe dream for centuries to come because even if the whole ethnic groups in Nigeria agrees to break up, as more and more people are now tired of you guys, the fear amongst the other big tribes is that you guys will try to grab other people's land and resources which will lead to unending wars. Haba, bini and itsekiris shared same ancestry, similar names, culture and tradition with the yorubas but you will never find any Yoruba person who is interested in forcing them. The moment you start to adjust the map you will open a floodgate of unending conflicts as we see in Gaza. Just because your people are in the US will you go and claim their land? For me, I truly the exclusion of Igbo land and people from Nigeria and will mobilize everyone to vote for Biafra if there is referendum tomorrow because we are all tired of you people but my biggest concern is that there will SURELY be a war without end between the igbo and their minority neighbors. Jonathan said something similar at a university in the US last week.

But you dey smoke igbo

Bede2u:
Actually Brazilians are Portuguese and Yorubas, they didn't fall from heaven.
Switzerland and Austrians are ethnic Germans too.
An Igbo man can understand Ikwere as much as they can understand Nsukka or other non-central Igbo dialects spoken outside the major cities.

Never knew Christiano Ronaldo was Yoruba!

Bede2u:
the Blacks of Yoruba heritage in Brazil are yorubas. Ronaldo is from Portugal not Brazil. Have you been drinking?

Are you sure you saw what you posted?

In any case, this would be a very good analogy to the discussion at hand.

No! The Yorubas do not claim that every black person in Brazil or Portugal is Yoruba!
Blacks from other parts of Africa also migrated to these areas at various times.

Yoruba culture, language, names and traditional worship system have been adopted by the people of these regions, including the indigenous whites who invariably would have intermarried with Yorubas, these do not make these areas Yoruba territories and no Yoruba is desirous of claiming such as their territories.
This is a sign of a high level of maturity, sincerity and respect for others to choose their identity and who to identify with.

Rather, it's these people of various origins who yearn to identify with the Yoruba cultural system, and even claim to be Yoruba. This is how it should be.

In Nigeria, there are many ethnic groups who claim they are descendants of the Binis(Edos), have you seen any Edo claim these people or their territories?


It's very obvious there are ulterior motives regarding this desperate tagging of Ikwerres as Igbos.

I have read this thread twice now.
Our enemies in the Sad East will be put to shame.

I expected this since from all prominent Ikwerre men.

Rotimi and the likes of Chidi Lloyd need to speak up too.

When they come to Ogba we will speak up too.

Ameka o!

Jonathan said nothing. Also everything you wrote their is trash because at least 40% of people from Ikwere accept being igbo. If you want us to leave out people like Wike, that's fine. We haven't forced wike to be igbo. But don't try to force Mbata and other proud Ikwere igbos to not be Igbo.

Who cares what you are......

The only Ikwerres I've seen claim to have some Igbo heritage at various times were two politicians who were seeking either votes or favour from Igbos regarding their ambition:

Rotimi Amaechi when he was soliciting votes from Igbos during campaign period. He was reported to have denied being Igbo at some other time.

The second is this Mbata who contested for the ohanaeze president general.

Every other Ikwerre I've seen, also their sociocultural group has made it very clear they are not igbo, but Iwurhonna (Ikwerre).

Wike is the last Ijaw man that will ride on Igbo Ikwerre people to fame.

Okoro gbara afor enwere ife ogbatulu



At your old age, you dont know your ancestors or deny them, ing confusion on to your lineage.



Let us hope your kids will have more sense than you because by the looks of things they will need it.

StarRiderr:
No source and video to back this your stewpid claims that wike made such altercations .. abeg shift

Before you comment make research..don't just quote people as liers. Nwike said it in his live chat with Arise and Channel journalist on Channel Tv last night.

The same Wike that ed State security whilst he was Governor now claiming if he was wrong, he was wrong and that he does not State security?


lol The joke is on you Igbo haters who want people to deny their heritage to suit your bigotry.


News flash, whether he deny or accept, he is an Igbo man, it is in his blood and genetics and why he has that head and looks the way he does.


Igbo is written all over him in blood and nobody, no devil can take that away.

Who cares, a beg go rest.

In all honesty wike does not look or act igbo and neither does he talk like an igbo man. You can tell he is not igbo. His spirit is different. Also that whole area is a mixture of people

We don't want uncouth I.diots identifying as IGBO. Mr. ONYESOM NWIKE.

Which school did you attend?
How many Ikwerres do you know and have you been to Ikwerre before?

You just analyse issues from your head without any empirical evidence.

To you, Ikwerre is Wike, Amaechi and Mbata because you read about them on social media.

For your information, the issue about Ikwerre being Igbos or not is just like indigenous people of Kwara State and Okun people of Kogi State claiming that they are not Yoruba because the narrative suits them.

Again, Igbos are too big for Ikwerre . Ikwerre is not even up to Owerri Igbo community in Imo State.

pinkyruledworld:
i am a yoruba man that served in PH. Till today, i still wonder why ikweeree folks claim they are not igbo. The language, attitude and children names is screaming igbo but they dont agree to be igbos.

it's a question of displaced people assimilating into the bigger tribe. For example some Brazilians moved to Lagos state years ago and their future generation all speak Yoruba today and have Yoruba names. But will they be wrong to say I am not Yoruba I am Brazilian? Just cuz someone from ikwerre speaks igbo and has igbo name doesn't mean they are igbo

Bliss4Lyfe:



We can easily tell you are a yoruba almajiri.


A one Nigerian criminal whose life will end prematurely should the hate and bigotry called Nigeria end.


That hate and bigotry is like oxygen 4 u.

it's not even that serious but look at wicked ? He doesn't look or talk like an igbo man at all. Look at ameachi rotimi ? He looks and talks like an igbo man. Wike mannerisms are not that of an igbo man. Ameachis mannerisms are that of an igbo man. You have to dissect and study people spiritually and socially. This makes me to conclude ikwerre is just a name housing many tribes. Inside ikwerre is bini and igbo people. Wike looks and acts like a bini man and drinks like a bini man.

Even after leaving Nigeria, Igbo will face difficulties. Sure, Nigeria is about to break with these recent incidents. And I feel Tinubu will initiate before the end of his second term. Igbo will struggle to coordinate themselves at first, but I believe they will overcome this. While Yoruba will pick up quickly, the rest of the north will be extremely confused. SS will face challenges as a result of Igbo, but places like Ikwere, which have rejected Igbo, will remain steadfast because they understand they will be second-class citizens in Igboland. While Igbo will seek their wealth, they will resist Igbo. This is where work needs to be done because Igbo will want to use force to make them stay, but Igbo go collect wotowoto. Benin will undoubtedly prefer Yoruba. In addition, Kogi, Kwara, and Niger residents will choose Yoruba. The Kainji dam will cause a major problem for Yoruba and the north, but I believe there will be a solution after so many disputes.

Separating Nigeria will not be easy, but it is inevitable. Then we will all experience what is known as prosperity and wealth. Africa will pick up gradually because Yoruba nation to Abidjan will first benefit from this. The Yoruba nation, Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, and Abidjan will all experience massive growth. I believe Libera will also benefit greatly. On the other end, a debate will take place in Bakassi. Also, part of Adamawa where Atiku comes from will have challenges too. I believe everyone will want to reconnect with old allies. That of Lagos and Cotonou will not be an issue because "egun" people can easily move to Badagry, and the border may also shift forward. Why? Nigeria will not claim the people, but rather the new Yoruba nation. Same will apply to Adamawa - Cameroon, Bakassi - Cameroon. It think Niger and Chad won't have issues with the new nations close to them.

We should all start preparing for this. Please go and buy land where you live before it is too late. When the time comes, that land will provide you with a residential permit. It is better to build a house there quickly.

Good luck to everyone.

One question for you - are you Ikwerre?
