Talk:Rivers State

Ughelli
Please amend. Ughelli has never been a part of Rivers State. It is part of Delta State

Official name
The official name of Rivers State's capital is Port Harcourt. Any other addition to the official name should be backed up by reliable verifiable sources. I have thusly removed the additions next to the official name. Please do not re-add it unless you back it up with reliable verifiable sources. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 14:59, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Ikwerre as Subgroup of Igbo is incorrect
The narratives that ikwerre is a subgroup of igbo is controversial as the ikwerre people themselves have come out to say that they are an independent ethnic nationality in Africa. Ikwerre has been recognised by Nigeria and United Nations as a distinct ETHNIC Nationality with her distinct language, culture, tradition, geographical  location and intimately associated with the Niger Delta. For example, as an ikwerre man, who knows the tradition, i can authoritatively confirm that our traditional rituals in burials, rites of passages, festival rituals' market days are totally strange to the Igbos. Further more, our mode of dancing with the waist, our dressing, our masquerade, our cuisein, tradition etc are totally different from from that of Igbo but are rather similar to that of Niger Deltans. No one tells his story better than himself.

Wikipedia should rely on information from the ikwerre people about themselves rather than publishing distorted or inaccurate/incomplete account about ikwerre people from a stranger.
