Rivers people are the worst victim of Hausa-Fulani tactic of divide and conquer. Most people are unaware that Divide and Rule was the original objective behind initial creation of States in Nigeria. Rivers people were carved out of Eastern region, given a special identity, made to feel special, and empowered to isolate themselves from Igbos. Then, they became powerless in isolation, and their petroleum resource was easily siphoned from them, and divided up. Every development in the North, including Abuja, is largely from the Resource wealth of Rivers State. When we were in the University, Northern students received bursaries and other financial support from their State Governments. But students from Rivers State and other parts of Nigeria did not receive grants from their State Government. Meanwhile, this financial support for Northern students came mostly from oil wealth of Rivers State!
Eh heh now but these Ikwerre,Ekpeye,and Ogba people will be de-igbonizing themselves but it still resembles Igbo and they will say they were forced to speak Igbo, who colonized you apart from the British. You were speaking Igbo way before the civil war
The man is correct bcos dey call us isọma den we call dem ikwere. I'm from Imo we are all Igbo. I went to government secondary school omarelu (gosso). There is a village in omarelu called omagwọ which originated from ụmụagwọ in ohaji egbema LG, there is anoda village called ihè echie, dey came from lhé in ohaji. Even me I'm 4rm Abakụrụ in ohaji Egbema while my ancestral home was ọwụ in echie according to my grandpa, So how can i be an Igbo man while ppl from Ọwụ aren't? d problem we have is divide and rule
We need more educated people like you who understand the tactics of the politicians and their divide and rule method to people more against this evil agenda ,if possible put it to writing so that the unborn generation will not be mislead again .
My mum is from Elele/ Alimlni close to Ahoha .They call us ndi Isoma. AGBAJE their siblings is in Nwangele LGA close to Nkwerre LGA my own LGA. Igbo bu ofu.
The man have killed the rumu nonsense we’ve been debating about, the real pronunciation is umu meaning children. There nothing like rumu. We are getting there.
If you listen well you will know that the old man even as the chief and Eze did not know anything about their origin and the correlation with the Igbos , the man should be able to talk about the ancestral fathers and origin ,untill they dig out the past before they can know who they are.
I'm from ohaji/EGBEMA in imo state and my dialect have so much similarities with the ikwerres...there's also EGBEMA in rivers state with their own local government ONELGA..and there are no different from the ones in imo state ... If the ones in rivers state claim they are not igbo then we EGBEMAs in imo state can also claim we are not Igbos ... But let's all stop deceiving ourselves we are all IGBOS.. whether you're ikwerre, EGBEMA,NDOKI etc we are all Igbos ...
Why Fulani? Fulani ask you to divide yourselves? We kill each other more than any Fulani will ever do. Don’t blame our stupidity on any other tribe. It’s even an insult to mention Fulanis,
@@Southernview3k Fulanis cannot be exempted from this ungodly and disastrous separation of kith and kin, even Gowon did what he did to please them but as u said Igbos should work hard to solve the problem even though it is difficult because Fulani and Yoruba are still encouraging and sponsoring division among us. To them Igbo unity is a threat.
Pls ask questions about how many market days & their names. What is the general Igbo name for a daily market e.g. Ogwumabiri as in Imo/Abia & even in Opobo/Bonny. What do the Ikwerre peoplee call hat or cap. What is the Ikwerre name for toilet. How many wrappers do their woment tie for outings, their dance steps. Do they have New Yam Festivals & what Traditional Rites do they perform on such occassions. Recreational activities like Mgba, Ekpe, Nmawu etc, what's their place in Ikwerre culture. What are the roles of Umuada in dispute resolution, In the same respect, what are the roles of one's maternal relations on issues relating to marriage, burial rites etc. What of Age Grades & their relevance in Ikwerre culture. What does the Bini history say about the claim of some Ikwerre to Bini heritage. Why don't they speak Bini or any of its derivatives. In summary, you should ask broader questions that coild have more convincing & enlightenment effect on both the interviewer & the interviewee.
NNA MEHN GOOD JOB BUT PLEASE TRY AND COMPOSE YOUR QUESTIONS A LITTLE MORE CLEAR SO YOU CAN PICK UP BEST AND CLEAR ANSWERS FROM YOUR GUESTS , BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE STILL NEED A CLEAR VIEW OF WHO IS IGBO WHO NOT . IGBO IS A BIG TRIBE FULL OF MANY BRANCHERS LIKE A GIANT TREE .
Fulani started from Senegal to Gambia to Liberia to serre Leone to Guinea to Mali to Burkina Faso to central Africa to Ivory coast Togo to Benin nig to Ghana to Sudan to Cameroon etc. They see themselves as one united despite thousand of mile distance but when you tell Igbo man of his brother jus across River Niger Rivers State they say they are not Igbo. ☺️ Chia who did this to us as Igbos . Thank u nnamehn tv🔥🔥🔥
You must have British Britannica history books for more information about aur people. Apply it we all so helping so much one love my brother bye for now
It's well, the only thing in life that has no solution is death, People should learn to be themselves with their own people, I see little lies in the mouth of the Elder Traditional Man, because they're in River's state and for them mingling with other tribes makes to claim not Igbo's, rather Ikwerre, time shall tell, they speak same and share everything with Igbo's, but they choose to pretend. I haven't seen a Yoruba Man from Kwara or kogi state like Dino melaya of kogi and Saraki of Kwara state all in northern part of Nigeria, but still proud of their tribe and culture, Yoruba.. But these people in the river's state most of them claim to be whatever land
There's no lie there. He's not very well informed and that's why he said when next he comes around,he probably might meet some others who'd help inform him the more. When he was talking about the igbo market days,he said they have only 2,Afor Ukwu and Afor Nta plus a daily market. Most communities have all the 4 market days but not all the villages inside that community have all the 4. He failed to explain it better. My community has 21 villages. My own village has Afor market, our neighbouring villages have Nkwo,Eke and Orie markets. Our ancestors designed it in such a way that we would be opening in turns,which also helps in interactions with our other siblings. Till date,as big as we're,we still dont have a daily market,though we're now discussing building one. In all,Igbos wherever they are,regardless of dialect are one. Politics,segregation and marginalization aside. The elders and kings should as a matter of urgency,do something to bring us all together. Udo.
@@Madukaokeukwa Thanks for this explanation. I understood exactly that too. Igbo has 4 market days which occur as ukwu and nta hence making eight. Hence the adage, "Ụbọchị dị anọ zuo asatọ". Also, he mentioned Isoma. It is an Igbo ethic group who speak exactly the way he is speaking. The interviewer is also Isoma but I don't know why he is pronouncing it wrong and acting like it is strange to him. 😂 He is an Mbaitolu man. Most Isoma are found in the Imo political territory.
Africans should go back to the blueprint of originality. Boundaries do not determine the end of communities, tribes or groups. Look at Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, south Africa, Angola etc are all territories of ancient Congo and Zululand. Empires divided against it's interest can not progress. Cities as widely believed as relatively Boundaries are mere geopolitical/economical zones which sprang from various ancient communal village squares, market squares, shrines etc where European missionaries or traders were normally given to settle during their stay.
Why are you infusing the Benin in the discussion? Are the Binis involved in this discussion. The people know their Ancestral home. Don't twist history.the people know their Ancestral home.
Emeka, you are not prepared for this interview. You are not asking the right questions. You are confusing the old man with your questions. Please, try to do some research before your interview with your guests. Form the habit of writing your questions before your interview. Great job.. 👍
This is not the right man to interview. Look for the elderly. I’m not sure this man has reached 70 years old. Talk to their traditional rulers and ask them about their customs. When they narrate everything to you, then compare and contrast.
This man is elderly and authoritative enough. I just think he is not naturally attentive to historical and cultural details. And the questions seem to not be exactly clear. Nnaa Mehn be like say e get distracted small for this one.
The man the right person ,just that he is not educated and also he is not rooted to their culture and origin ,I guess they gave him the post because he is the eldest man that based in the community.
Tell me if this is not witchcraft. You are speaking Igbo, and you don’t know you are Igbo? You see this elderly man don’t see himself as an Igbo man. This is where the problem is .
What is this tussle to make one tribe to be another? This ikwere sef are they gold, why are you trying to make them part of you if they dont want? Why arr you pedestilizing them? If they dont want leave them nau!
I am Ibo, from Okpanam in Delta State, Nzeogwu's hometown. I understand their conversations perfectly. We are one...
Nnam is Igbo not ibo🙏
Igbo d right word . Yes chukwuma Nzeo is from opanem very close to ahaba now asaba a proud Igbo son.

Point of correction next time don't differentiate omuma from Etche. Omuma is Etche, Omuma is just another LGA in Etche group.
Don't they speak Ngwa
Ndi- igboo
Point of correction Agbaja is not in Isiala Mbano but in Nwagele local government. Unless there’s another village Mbano thanks
There is another Agbaje in Isiala mbano close to Anara in Umuelemai .
