They always believe they're smarter than everybody. To them, everybody is a fool. But as usual, with any move they make, they always shoot themselves in the foot.

Let me give you historical fact of why ilwerres say they are not igbo. After PHC fell to nigeria army, the NA went on a killing spree of civilians. They did so in PortHarcourt, Asaba, cross-river. The people had to beg, and yakubu Goloss told them to deny being igbo & biafran in order to prove their loyalty to one Nigeria. They were also giving Identity cards and carried everywhere they went even in lagos and benin

That is a big lie. You can't fool anyone here with fabricated stories. Can you imagine the audacity!!

I told my people long time ago not to trust amechi to me I never and he just confirms it.

If you want to be Nigeria president you must hate igbo to please your master if not tell me why amaech will make that statement, though he think he will deceived fulani it doesn't matter what you call your self they see you as igbo man.

Or you trying to press yeruba mumu button.

I don't know who advise him to make that statement that person just kill his political carrier that person is political enemies to him.

Even if your papa tell you that your not igbo what your benefits of coming out to say it, know where will you get your vote yeruba will not leave tinubu and vote for you, fulani will not leave Atiku to vote for you igbo man will not leave obi to vote for you, even your ikwerre man will not vote for you.

He is not an Igbo man, deal with it. Stop exposing your lack of understanding. How can any reasonable person who listened or read Amaechi's statement, reach the absurd conclusion that he hates Igbos? Ikwerres are not Igbos., but a distinct tribe in Nigeria. That is a fact.

There is a world of difference you just refuse to listen because you are in denial
First they are called Ikwerre. They have NEVER BEEN CALLED Igbo and resent being called Igbo a group they sold as slaves historically

Ikwerre people very clearly say they are not Igbo. That is enough
They do not speak Igbo language a basic difference among others


Oh they are called Ikwerre?

There are Nsukka people

There Ngwa people

There are Abakaliki people

There are Onitsha people

There are Ohawfia people

So why do you group all these people together and call them Igbo?

Are you aware there's no difference between these people and those you call Ikwerre, in culture and language, except small difference in dialect?

Some times we make unguided statement, I doubt if he said so, let us look at it fundamentally , ozuzu etche in river state is the custodian of central Igbo diety called amadioha, ikwerre enthrone and worship amadioha, Ani, chi, ikenga and by language classified as igboid, denying ur ancestry for political reason is madness, ikwerre didn't come from Igbo, ikwerre is Igbo, you will continue making fool of yourself , the claim of Benin origin is false, because ikwerre is 3 times bigger than benin, u can't migrate as an individual from a kingdom and less than 5 00 years u outnumber d kingdom, ur cultural heritage, and everything about u is Igbo, ur claim women changed ur language is an insult to ur culture

What is Igboid and what is Igbo?

Ikwerre is not Etche and vice versa.

Ikwerre don’t “enthrone and worship amadioha” whatever you mean by that.

Amadioha is an Etche and not Igbo deity. Amadioha has been in existence long before Igbo was created less that 150 yeas ago as an ethnicity.

U are in no position to tell anyone who they are unless you are not mentally OK.

Una go explain tire, we told una say he was only being political but una dey argue. Ameachi has said it several times before that he's Ikwerre and not ibo. The fact that he suddenly identified with ibos during the election period was purely political just to spite Wike. You emotional being will keep learning.

When Ibos settle in a strange land, after like 30 to 50 years, they form a community and start claiming indigenous. That has always been their M.O. They suddenly start dragging ancestry to the land with their host. And that is clearly the case with every Ibo community in the SS. You people are already laying the ground work for claiming Yoruba spaces and we're waiting for you, watching you, no matter how long you wait. You're already spreading propaganda that every Yoruba space that has "igbo" as apart of the spelling, no matter the pronunciation, is your land. I assure you, you will get hurt in the process. We're watching.

From your statement, you are clearly a yoruba being used to create ethnic tension. Bro even your statement shows how ignorant your submission is. You are clearly a Yoruba person and you have no idea or understanding of the politics of old eastern region.

Amaechi can be too blunt for his own good. I wonder atimes if the ageing stem cells are responsible for a lot of his past comments.

Succinctly stated.

The concept of an Ibo tribe is purely a British Colonial creation that gained traction after 1900. Prior to that period, these groups such as the Ngwa, Owerre, Awka, Nsukka, etc, didn't see themselves in that light. Even the name Ibo [Igbo, or "Igbon" used by the Benin-Edo, or "Onigbo" as used by the Igalas who sold human slaves captured in parts of the Ibo interior to Aboh now in Delta State] was used as a condescending or derogatory term for a slave, human flesh eating cannibals, primitive bush dweller by other people against the interior Ibos pre-1900. That's how that name Ibo came to be collectively used by others and the Colonialists to refer to them down the line.

I will attached the screenshots of advanced history books that CLEARLY show these pure facts of history right BELOW.

Nor be only sub-Igbo, na sub-zero. See, so long as it is not from Abia, Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra , it is not Igbo. In fact, so long as it is not from South-East, we don’t want to be identified as Igbo. Please allow us breathe

I don’t even understand the problem of you guys anymore. Has the itshekiri man or Edo man called himself Yoruba before despite bearing Yoruba names ? Has the Kogi/Benue man called himself Hausa before ? Why do you guys want to make every minority tribe from the South-South to be identified as your people ?

Don’t we have our culture, values and traditions again ? You started with creation of more states and even changed our beloved state and tribe into something else. That didn’t work and now you guys have gone back again to the same issue that started all these.


Please the 5 of you should just clamour for your independence. We wish you well, but we don’t wanna be a part of it. It is getting out of hand. For the poster below, Ok because his name is Amaechi, he is now Igbo. What of the Rotimi there ? Is he also Yoruba because of that abi na half-caste him be ? Oga face your own battle. We don’t want to be a part of it grin grin


Thank you !

Fabricated stories! My friend this was written by Brig Gen Cyrillic iweze, who was NDA best graduating student in 1967 and fought for the nigeria army against his people. He narrates all the genocide against his people when biafra forces fell in asaba, PHC & calabar. Why are you surprised? isn't it the same thing NA does anytime their personnel are killed . They carry out reprisal against the community nau

You're either an IPOB propagandist masquerading as a Yoruba boy or you're a Yoruba but who has been fed with lies. Ibos owed no space in today's SS except those in which they settled in at the kindness and generosity of their hosts.

Oga, whether I am a Yoruba person or not is inconsequential to my submission. I have spoken the truth and I know it hurts. As for creating ethnic tension, I don't think I have said anything to cause that. I only spoke the truth and opened the eye of the ignorant ones to it.

What you are saying is tantamount to people In benè republic or togo saying the yorubas are settlers & not indigenous because yorubas exist primarily in Nigeria. The fact that politicians & colonialists draw border lines fir their advantage does not mean the indigenous people are stupid. Ikwerres are confirmed igbo people. Their kings are referred to as Igwe or Eze, their language is like 70% igbo and they behave like igbo people- proud & stubborn. Ok Duncan mighty is ikwerre but see the title of his song. It's translated Jesus is king in both ikwerre & igbo

I did not group anyone together
Stop talking like an illiterate
There are Kano, People, Sokoto people and so on .
So what if there are Ngwa people and Onitsha people?

What has that got to do with Ikwerre people?


People call themselves Igbo because they choose to

Ikwerre people choose NOT to be called Igbo because they are not Igbo

There has NEVER been a time in their history they were called Igbo

I am not the one calling them Ikwerre. I am aware there is a world of difference between them and those who call themselves Igbo

Like I previously mentioned they do not speak the Igbo language
They speak Ikwerre which is a distinct language it is not a dialect of Igbo


It is only Igbos like you that call them Igbo. They are not Igbo and have NEVER identified as Igbo .. It simply is NEVER the case thatat any time in their history the Ikwerre people identified as Igbo

Ikwerre have been saying they are not Igbo even before independence in 1960
They went to the WIllinks Commission to assert that fact

Do you know about the Willinks Commission?

They formed Ogbakor Ikwerre BEFORE Ohanaeze

Your Story about a killing spree in Port Harcourt is a lie.



Can you give us a date for when this happened>

Can you provide a source for that claim

You are telling lies

Even before Independence Ikwerre were agitating against Igbo domination and sought to assert a separate Identity

As usual Igbos just sit down and concoct fictional stories without any evidence

Ikwerres have ALWAYS DENIED BEING IGBO and this goes back before 1960 independence
