The Igbo race is one but different dialects . Even Nsukka dialect differ from town to town...Ikwere is a dialect like every other dialects in Imo state, Abia state and Ebony state...
I'm an Igbo man from Anambra State. I believe the Ikwerre and Agbor are Igbos, because I've interacted with and understood them well. However, we shouldn't force it, if an Ikwerre man says he's not Igbo, then let him identify as whatever he wants to identify with. The only problem is their constant switching between Igbo and Ikwerre whenever it suits them.
My brothers Ibos are very very big . Since British and Nigeria came to separate us it seems that we don't know ourselves anymore . Even Check Agbor language in delta state is the same from Ikwere , Anambra etc. The different is intonation. Even their tradition and culture are the same . I am from Agbor in delta state . I have not been to Ikwere but I have seen where an Ikwere man is speaking and I understand at least 70% . If I am speaking with an Igbo man he will ask me are you from Anambra ? They are creating states to separate Igbos . You can go to Agbo in delta state and ask this question you will find out that is the same answer you will get .
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799 I don't know much about them but the name Isiolukwu is an Igbo name. Isi is head, first, top etc, depending on the phrase that fellows. Olukwu is great maker or worker, now Isiolukwu means the head of a great maker or worker.
Ikwere Meka, please let's stop decieving our selves,am ikwere Man, and I have realized we have been living in lie's,we are all Igbos, Igbo kwenu. Let's unit
I am proud of this young man...tell this wicked politicians to stop deceiving our people because of their personal interest. And people from other tribes who all put their mouths in this kind of matter because they intend to divide us.
I thought this issue was settled .Igbo is SE. Why continue upset others and build up hates. I once asked a friend from RS and he was very angry for just asking him if he is ibo.
@@immyammy7185 Some Igbo people in the above named states also identify as Igbo. We should also respect their wishes. People can change their future identity but no one can change his past or his origin
My brother Emmanuel Dimkpa it shall be well with you and your family in general. You did not deny your ancestral origin. Some Ikwerre people started denying being Igbos after the civil war. They wanted to feel belonged to Nigeria side after the war by denying being Igbos. My brother Emmanuel Dimkpa remain blessed and obidient . My brother you are doing a great job. CNN conducted interviews like this in Ethiopia for the Israeli Jews in that country.
Men i love what you guys are doing ,God of our Ancestors will bless that nwannaa from ikwere with long life ,good health ,and prosperity for not hiding truth like their politicians.

You see, I am from Oba in Nsukka, and this guy appears to be describing the marriage rites of my home town. The head of the Kindred (Umunna) is usually the oldest surviving male of the Umunna, and he is the leader, we call him Onye ishi. Umu mgboto in my village means young girls..., Umuada are the women of the Umunna that were married away from the Kindred.
I recently subscribed to your channel and I absolutely love what you do as regards bridging the gap between all Igbo speaking clans. Jide ka I ji. There’s an Igbo speaking group in Equatorial Guinea and I was wondering if you could visit EG to interview them, their language and current state of the language? I am willing to contribute financially. I’ve been meaning to do so if I ever visit Nigeria but I’m currently based in the US. Please let me know.
Both the interviewer and the interviewed are wonderful pple but I still believe that if an ikwere person refuses to identify with Igbo please leave them alone let them be who ever they wish to be
If you didn't subcribe to this channel after watching this good work that this young man are doing just know that you are enemy of a good thing.WE MUST CONTINUE TO UNITE OUR PEOPLE🤩
God bless Nna menh, you are doing a different thing altogether and which is very important to the young generation. Igbo are connected with many states in Nigeria. I'm only sorry for those who bear Igbo names and deny to be Igbo because of what they are getting from the hausas and Fulani who separated us with their creation of states thereby putting division amongst us.
There is no doubt about the man's tribe, that is a branch of the Igbo tribe. They should embrace each other and become one. There so many tribes around Africa like with such.
Na Mehn TV, I love what you are doing. Can you do a juxtaposition of the Igbo hinterland marital and the Ikwere culture? Like you ask an Igbo man in the hinterland and superimpose it with the Ikwere marriage rite.
Same too I'm from Ikeduru, we do the same as Ikwerre. See eh... When I see Ikwerre, I have this Owerre vibe. I think they do same thing as us. Including their way of dancing. Even their lexicon.
Nnaa Mehn Tv : what this Ikwerre man said are perfectly understood. You said you are from Mbieri, you should understand that umunna is about same as umu nnadi, just like he explained. I am from Mbieri also, we also say: "umu nnadi". In Mbieria, it is stated that "gi sete umu nnadi, izetechana"; which mean as soon as you are able to get through or avoid your umu nnadi, you have gotten it all. This is because these are your close relatives who know your going in and coming out, and therefore, know how to hurt you. They are your closest relatives, and very difficult to please.
NNAA MEHN TV, The man you just interviewed from Isiokpo, Ikwerre LG HQ. said something about "Nnadi", as the "Kinsmen"; in Imo State, some areas around Owerri also call it "Umu Nnadi". Which is same as "Umu nna".
There's a substantial Aro(Arochukwu)community in Isiokpo. Whatever the politics might be, if you're proud of who you are, you will(must)definitely defend it
Dimkpa you are very wise to know your origin,if anybody insulted by saying that you are not Igbo, Tell the person that you are the original Igbo man by blood .
Dialect is from a language not a language of it's own. In every language, there's always dialects. Even in the five states they minimised Igbo today still have their different dialects. For example, when an nsukka man from Enugu state speaks Igbo in his dialect, an Owerri man from imo state may not understand it 💯 percent and vise versa and when an ngwa man from abia state speaks Igbo in his dialect an Onitsha man from Anambra state may not understand it 💯 percent and vise versa, and the same with abakaliki man from eboyi state. But that does not mean they are not all Igbo language. And in most cases I believe some people understands the whole Igbo dialects. I want to believe that every other languages like yoruba and Hausa languages have their own different dialects in their various places.
We are all Igbos that's the fact! Rivers is a State whereas Igbo is a tribe. We must start to differentiate name of a state and tribe. State is just an organised political territory by government and tribe is an origin or originality of the people. Let's get this right
The problem is caused by the oil. They trying had to make sure the Nigerian state does not treat them bad as the igbos in the SE are treated. So they have to keep denying their igboness.
But the same oil and gas is every where and other natural resources in those places they are calling igbos which Nigeria government block 🚫 yet the same igbos Nigeria government will not do anything without them
This is beautifully interesting, is good as people in the old eastern zone has come to realized whom they really are..... Wonderful..Nnaa keep it up the good work....the whole igbos in Nigeria and across the globe must be United, the time for biafra to come is now.....
Wow!!!!!!!! Wash that guy, and scrub him many times, he's a full-blown Igbo man. He did not assimilate a darn thing from the Igbo culture. He's 100% pure and talks about his culture. He refused to sell his culture and identity.
Does this Ikwerre dialect have any meaning in Benin or Ijaw?? Someone help me out?!! IGBOS do not go for those who are not their Children. Thank GOD for this truthful man but honestly, the IGBOS do not need the IKWERRES. They have made themselves so irrelevant to us.
I concur with this.. forget about them and stretch hands to etche and ndoki.. former governor Peter odili 100% ndoni never denied his Igbo ethnicity.. most etche identify as igbos in rivers state
The concept of Ikwerre not being Igbo is mere political manipulation. The dialect is Ikwerre but the people and culture are of same stock and origin as the rest Igbos spreading from Ezza to Ukwuani (Kwale) to Mba mmili (Riverine). There are various dialects of the Igboid people imcluding Izii of the Ebonyi Igbos, Ika of the Delta Igbos, Ikwerre of the Riverine, etc. Let all Igboid clusters refuse the current divide and rule manipulations of politicians, for as the ancient Igbos would say in a proverb, "Igbo speaks diverse tongues but they all cough alike".
Thank guys ,if the ikwere people of rivers are not igbos then the owerri zone of imo are not igbos. Umu or rumu nnadi. Go to all the towns of owerri west, owerri north, ngo okwala, etc.
Igbo is the largest tribe in Nigeria. Do I make sense. But British and Fulani sow wicked division and separate brothers. But injustice will fade away no matter the years oppressor keep the oppressed.
Whenever the ikwere man says that he is not an Igbo , the British and Fulanis rejoice. They believe that their divide and rule strategy is working in Igbo Land.
Ikwerre is not Igbo, English is very common and simple, major tribe does not mean minor tribes are embedded in them. At every tribal boundaries languages are interwoven, for example the Andoni tribe language sounds like ibibio because they share common boundary with Akwa Ibom, the part of Edo that share common boundary with Ondo State speaks a language that has alot of similarity with Yoruba language, ilaje, the riverine part of Ondo State, speaks a language that sounds like kalabari language, TIV language sounds like efik because they share boundaries with Cross River State, the part of kalabari that shares boundary with ikwerre (I mean degema), you will find traces of ikwerre in their language as well and most times it is difficult for abonnema people to understand what a degema man is saying, etc..... In Europe, at the boundary between Poland and Ukraine, the languages are similar..... I can keep mentioning instances. I don't know when knowledge will be most glaring to all of you guys that argue trash here........ Ikwerre is a tribe on its own, it is not Igbo neither is it ijaw. IKWERRE IS IKWERRE.
@@luckysmart5909 The draft seed of the Divide and Rule Champions. They brainwashed you to be used as a willing tool in milking your resources dry, make you fight against yourselves over what rightfully belongs to you. They make your dislike People they know will open your eyes to the exploitations, subjugation and Oppression happening to you and your environments. Definitely, your eyes will open up to the reality of futility and foolishness in being afraid of, and worshipping, your Oppressors.
@@berechianyanwu1154 Ikwerre is not Igbo, do not be deceived Igbo originated from Ikwerre, we chased you guys away because of your greed, how about that? It is embarrassing, to force people to be your tribe. The mentality of an ikwerre man is very different from that of an Igbo man, the masquerade festivals in ikwerre kingdom specifically emohua and obio/akpor is from ijaw and Benin, marriage rites are different, inauguration of high official in the tribes are different, the structure of families are different, farming is different, food is different. Do not claim ikwerre is Igbo, else we will start claiming Igbos originated from us. Nonsense tribal fools.
@@luckysmart5909 You are a Briton writing in disguise. You are protecting your free oil . Oil you have been taking for nearly hundred years, almost for free. Why will you not do anything within your powers to continue? The people you are giving peanuts from their own resources will soon realise what is going on. They will know who has been bribing few of them with their own money, while keeping majority of them in abject poverty. They will soon know that you don't have their interest at heart. They will soon know that you have been there for the past hundred years for the enrichment of your country, Britain, at all costs. You are not an Ikwere man because no educated Ikwere man will say that English language is simply. How many people speak Ikwere dialect in England? How many people answer Elechi in England? Briton continue your Divide and Rule tactics. It will not last forever.
@@berechianyanwu1154 you are confused... Who is talking about protecting oil?, I thought we're discussing culture here?. This is how people like you misunderstands to fail. We are talking about heritage. USA was colonized by Britain and they still speak English, they are also economically stable. Why are you guys blaming colonial masters of the evil of selfish leaders. English will remain the accepted language in Nigeria because we have over 300 tribes in Nigeria. Ikwerre is the dominant tribe in Rivers State and we are still the most hospital tribe in our state, we do no discriminate as the Igbos do. Igbo and Ikwerre are not the same, the mentality of an ikwerre man is different. Ikwerre people are not greedy, Ikwerre women do not enslave or torture house-helps, ikwerre women do not push men as Igbo women do, ikwerre women will rather die hungry in a marriage than to return to her parents house. Tribe is all about the people and their mentality, the festivals, and the culture. Our cultures are different. I repeat, Ikwerre is not Igbo, Ikwerre is not ijaw. IKWERRE IS IKWERRE.
The BROADCAST is a good start to reunite the Igbo nation but the interviewer is asking wrong questions. The questions should be made simple for a non Igbo speaker to follow and understand. For example, they should be asked to count numbers. Say the name of body parts Say the name of items or things, like, chair,heaven, land,yam,cocoyam,leaf,walls, house,doors, laughter, crying, sleep, shit,water,blood, light and darkness etc. This Bini and Ijaw and Hause,Yoruba story is only because of oil and the lost of the civil war.
He is asking right question. You can rephrase your statement by saying, l can suggest more questions to ask the public such as the following. He will appreciate it. Thanks.
The Ancient Kingdom of Isiokpo was part of old Imo State. Let it be known that there is what you call dialect. Which is what the what the Isiokpo people speak. My place in Imo also have a dialect different from Owerre in the same state. Ikwere in Ogbunabali have dialect speak different from Isiokpo in Rivers state. All this are under Igbos as the tribe with their different dialect. Fulanis are just playing over the Brian of you people. Let it be known,it is not because Yorubas have accommodated Oworis amd Elaje people or as Fulani has penetrated the Hausas that makes you to thinking I must be the same. The TH-camer is confuse because he is still separating Ikwere from Igbo in their conversation.
Ikwere people thinks that tribe is created by government Nigeria or political parties or using natural resources to be tribe but not knowing that tribe is created by God igbo tribe is created by God and igbo tribe is a single tribe in Nigeria why ikwere people are just a community or village in igbo land
After the civil war there might have been a construction to manipulate the Igbo tribal hegemony and the same goes with the Disintegration of the oil producing areas in igboland into many states such that igr of oil generation and the development spill over did not have a critical mass in any of the SE states. The panel on creation of states was biased and undemocratic
Honestly me as an ndoki man ..I dont care about the ikwerres because we in rivers know the hatred you people have for us because we choose to still identify with the igbo ethnicity... you only remember us during election to increase your number so as to suppress the ijaws in rivers..you guys should claim what ever you want but dont drag ndokis and etches into it..leave us alone cause when push comes to shove and Nigeria happens to you people I hope the benins will stand with you..because for we igbos we will remind you people
@@martinpower4911 why are you guys acting stupid.... Does language describe a tribe? And how sure and confident are you that it's not Igbo that imitated the ikwerre names. If you need personal classes to learn about Ikwerre tribe, you will have to pay. Even in attitude and Ikwerre person is completely different from an Igbo person. So why ask unnecessary questions.
Ikweres are igbo. They have similar cultural and common and attitudinal values with and ethos and orientation with Ngwa sub ethnic people. Their next day neighbours. It is indisbutable. It is the mis led individuals in Ikwere that foolishly deny their cultural and consanguinous affinity and commonality with the igbo.

At every tribal boundaries languages are interwoven, for example the Andoni tribe language sounds like ibibio because they share common boundary with Akwa Ibom, the part of Edo that share common boundary with Ondo State speaks a language that has alot of similarity with Yoruba language, ilaje, the riverine part of Ondo State, speaks a language that sounds like kalabari language, TIV language sounds like efik because they share boundaries with Cross River State, the part of kalabari that shares boundary with ikwerre (I mean degema), you will find traces of ikwerre in their language as well and most times it is difficult for abonnema people to understand what a degema man is saying, etc..... In Europe, at the boundary between Poland and Ukraine, the languages are similar..... I can keep mentioning instances.
I don't know when knowledge will be most glaring to all of you guys that argue trash here........ Ikwerre is a tribe on its own, it is not Igbo neither is it ijaw. IKWERRE IS IKWERRE.
@@luckysmart5909 The draft seed of the Divide and Rule Champions. They brainwashed you to be used as a willing tool in milking your resources dry, make you fight against yourselves over what rightfully belongs to you. They make your dislike People they know will open your eyes to the exploitations, subjugation and Oppression happening to you and your environments.
Definitely, your eyes will open up to the reality of futility and foolishness in being afraid of, and worshipping, your Oppressors.
@@berechianyanwu1154 Ikwerre is not Igbo, do not be deceived Igbo originated from Ikwerre, we chased you guys away because of your greed, how about that?
It is embarrassing, to force people to be your tribe. The mentality of an ikwerre man is very different from that of an Igbo man, the masquerade festivals in ikwerre kingdom specifically emohua and obio/akpor is from ijaw and Benin, marriage rites are different, inauguration of high official in the tribes are different, the structure of families are different, farming is different, food is different. Do not claim ikwerre is Igbo, else we will start claiming Igbos originated from us.
Nonsense tribal fools.
@@luckysmart5909 You are a Briton writing in disguise. You are protecting your free oil . Oil you have been taking for nearly hundred years, almost for free. Why will you not do anything within your powers to continue?
The people you are giving peanuts from their own resources will soon realise what is going on. They will know who has been bribing few of them with their own money, while keeping majority of them in abject poverty. They will soon know that you don't have their interest at heart. They will soon know that you have been there for the past hundred years for the enrichment of your country, Britain, at all costs.
You are not an Ikwere man because no educated Ikwere man will say that English language is simply. How many people speak Ikwere dialect in England? How many people answer Elechi in England? Briton continue your Divide and Rule tactics. It will not last forever.
@@berechianyanwu1154 you are confused... Who is talking about protecting oil?, I thought we're discussing culture here?.
This is how people like you misunderstands to fail. We are talking about heritage. USA was colonized by Britain and they still speak English, they are also economically stable. Why are you guys blaming colonial masters of the evil of selfish leaders.
English will remain the accepted language in Nigeria because we have over 300 tribes in Nigeria.
Ikwerre is the dominant tribe in Rivers State and we are still the most hospital tribe in our state, we do no discriminate as the Igbos do. Igbo and Ikwerre are not the same, the mentality of an ikwerre man is different. Ikwerre people are not greedy, Ikwerre women do not enslave or torture house-helps, ikwerre women do not push men as Igbo women do, ikwerre women will rather die hungry in a marriage than to return to her parents house.
Tribe is all about the people and their mentality, the festivals, and the culture. Our cultures are different.
I repeat, Ikwerre is not Igbo, Ikwerre is not ijaw. IKWERRE IS IKWERRE.
The BROADCAST is a good start to reunite the Igbo nation but the interviewer is asking wrong questions.
The questions should be made simple for a non Igbo speaker to follow and understand.
For example, they should be asked to count numbers.
Say the name of body parts
Say the name of items or things, like, chair,heaven, land,yam,cocoyam,leaf,walls, house,doors, laughter, crying, sleep, shit,water,blood, light and darkness etc.
This Bini and Ijaw and Hause,Yoruba story is only because of oil and the lost of the civil war.
He’s asking the right questions, if the culture is Igbo then They’re Igbo. Especially the market days only Igbos do that in the world
He is asking right question. You can rephrase your statement by saying, l can suggest more questions to ask the public such as the following. He will appreciate it. Thanks.
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿
This is typical Igbo culture especially if you are from Imo state.
Go to rumuji and ask these questions, do not interview people close to the boundary, go deep inside ikwerre kingdom to ask these questions.
This lucky oshomole obaseki u are Bini remember, elechi is Igbo so choose where u belong.
Oshomole obaseki Bini/elechi igbo
@@chrisdamian1559 Elechi is an ikwerre, the Igbos are imitating our names.
@@luckysmart5909 lie u said, u are from Bini, oshomole or obaseki should be Ur name
@@luckysmart5909 Elechi is a word in my dialects means let's see tomorrow. Echi means tomorrow in my clan Abia State. You are an Igbo.
The Ancient Kingdom of Isiokpo was part of old Imo State.
Let it be known that there is what you call dialect.
Which is what the what the Isiokpo people speak.
My place in Imo also have a dialect different from Owerre in the same state.
Ikwere in Ogbunabali have dialect speak different from Isiokpo in Rivers state.
All this are under Igbos as the tribe with their different dialect.
Fulanis are just playing over the Brian of you people.
Let it be known,it is not because Yorubas have accommodated Oworis amd Elaje people or as Fulani has penetrated the Hausas that makes you to thinking I must be the same.
The TH-camer is confuse because he is still separating Ikwere from Igbo in their conversation.
Ikwere people thinks that tribe is created by government Nigeria or political parties or using natural resources to be tribe but not knowing that tribe is created by God igbo tribe is created by God and igbo tribe is a single tribe in Nigeria why ikwere people are just a community or village in igbo land
After the civil war there might have been a construction to manipulate the Igbo tribal hegemony and the same goes with the Disintegration of the oil producing areas in igboland into many states such that igr of oil generation and the development spill over did not have a critical mass in any of the SE states. The panel on creation of states was biased and undemocratic
I am disappointed, Ikwerre is not Igbo. Never can ikwerre be Igbo, our cultures are not common. This dude is probably an illiterate.
Elechi is igbo name
@@andrewolisa7829 so you think because you lack knowledge.
What do ikwerre call God? And what do ikwerre call king?
Honestly me as an ndoki man ..I dont care about the ikwerres because we in rivers know the hatred you people have for us because we choose to still identify with the igbo ethnicity... you only remember us during election to increase your number so as to suppress the ijaws in rivers..you guys should claim what ever you want but dont drag ndokis and etches into it..leave us alone cause when push comes to shove and Nigeria happens to you people I hope the benins will stand with you..because for we igbos we will remind you people
@@martinpower4911 why are you guys acting stupid.... Does language describe a tribe?
And how sure and confident are you that it's not Igbo that imitated the ikwerre names.
If you need personal classes to learn about Ikwerre tribe, you will have to pay. Even in attitude and Ikwerre person is completely different from an Igbo person.
So why ask unnecessary questions.
Ikweres are igbo. They have similar cultural and common and attitudinal values with and ethos and orientation with Ngwa sub ethnic people. Their next day neighbours. It is indisbutable. It is the mis led individuals in Ikwere that foolishly deny their cultural and consanguinous affinity and commonality with the igbo.
