Talk:Etche

Divide into two pages, one for ethnic group, one for LGA?
This page introduces Etche as an ethnic group, but has an infobox for the LGA, and no infobox for the ethnic group. Should there be separate pages for the people and the government area that's named after them? - Plandu (talk) 22:30, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Are the Etche a subgroup of the Igbo? Sources, please!
Etche is an indigenous ethnic group in present day Nigeria. It is not Igbo, has never been, and will never be. Non Etche people, the Igbos in particular have for decades continued to oppress, suppress and forcefully attempting to annex all minorities south of the Niger river for political and economic gains, and the Wikipedia platform continues to enable and protect this barbaric literary ethnic genocide on a peace loving group of people. As an Echie person, I find this unacceptable and I call on Wikipedia to put a stop to this.

You leave your region to come match on our streets in Port Harcourt and its environs declaring that our lands now belong to you. You use derogatory terms on us and you stage rallies in our communities - causing havocs for us and people who live in our communities. How on earth are non Etche people empowered to rewrite the history of Etche? Why cannot we be allowed to live our lives in peace? What kind of Igbo supremacy project is Wikipedia advancing?

Igbos, we know you are on a mission for political relevance and possible cessation. I respect your choices and your rights to self determination, but please tell your workgroups to leave Echie out of your schemes.

Please see a list of indigenous people from Niger Delta of Nigeria:

Please see these articles from 2013, where my people are making it clear that we are not Igbos. We may be neighbors, but that doesn't mean we are a sub of anyone.

 * , I truly understand how you feel, but I must tell you that Wikipedia is not for speculation or rumour. We deal with reliable sources and you don't seem to have provided one to prove your point. The reliable sources I saw online are clarifying that Etche people are truly a subgroup of the Igbo as can be seen in  and . Also note that Wikipedia is not a web host for what you and your friends made up. All additions must be verifiable. Best.  NNADI GOOD LUCK  ( Talk &#124; Contribs ) 19:55, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
