The Ikwerre (natively known as Iwhuruọha) are one of the Igbo subgroups in Rivers State. They are the biggest Igbo group along with the Ngwa. Traditional history has classified Ikwerre into seven groups called "Ikwerre Essa". They are Elele, Isiokpo, Umuji, Emohua, Choba, Aluu Igwuruta and Obio group. This division was recognized by Forde and Jones; (1950) in their ethnographic study of the Igbo speaking peoples of South Eastern Nigeria. It was also in line with this grouping those seven customary Courts were established in Ikwerre during the Colonial administration. These Courts were located at Elele, Isiokpo, Umuji, Emohua, Choba, Aluu and Obio in Ikwerreland.

  • Els ikwerres (o ikwere) són els membres d'un subgrup ètnic igbo que viuen a la regió del Delta del Níger, al sud-est de Nigèria. Es diu que els ikwerres tenen avantpassats comuns amb els ogbes i els ekpeyes (germans Akalaka). Els tracen els seus orígens del Regne de Benín. Els ikwerres constitueixen la majoria de l'estat de Rivers, tot i que també n'hi ha a altres estats veïns. Els ikwerres parlen la llengua ikwere, una llengua que forma part de les llengües igbo. Tradicionalment són agricultors, pescadors i caçadors, però en l'actualitat, a causa de la degradació mediambiental i a la dispersió urbana associada amb l'explotació de petroli, l'agricultura i la silvicultura ha disminuït la seva productivitat i això ha tingut conseqüències en les ocupacions tradicionals dels ikwerres.
