customized13: D rumu stuff is actually derived frm umu, wch mean children in igbo, thr is a place called umuola in abia (rumuola in ph), rumuokoro is jst umuokoro, rumuji is jst umuji, so y kill ourselves over rubbish. Ogbunabali area in ph simply means "sm1 dat kills in d nite" in igbo. Rumuodumaya is simply umuodumaya. Evry igbo kws wot obio akpo means in igbo. Y do u sm people kill themselves over stupid issues they kw nthng abt, most people posting rubbish here hv nt been 2 ikwerrelabnd b4. Okrika and eleme isn't igbo.
It's unfortunate you don't know the places that make up the original Port-Harcourt.

As a Nigerian minister, Tam David-West had an encounter of protocol with people of Eleme and it was an experience rather felt than described.

I can not guess your biological age but hope you realized that no single ethnic group in Nigeria will cross warpath with Ndigbo and survive to tell the story.
Yet Adaka Boro the Great single-handedly drove the entire Biafran army out of Ijawland. Imagine what a combined Ijaw army would do to you.

Let me repair your ignorance. Okrika is not Igbo though has some Igbo elements. It's more Ijoid than it can ever be Igbo. Eleme is one of the units that make up Ogoni. Others are Khana, Gokhana, Tai. Andoni is also not Igbo.

I'm not even sure you're Igbo. You created this thread to plan a seed of discord.
Afam4eva, prove your sanity by telling us about the "Igbo elements" in Okrika.

@ Barcanista

Pls don't engage them when they claim other people's territory whether Ikwerre or Eleme, let the natives of those places come to defend themselves. Even if they dubiously rewrite the history of these places against your well informed opinion, let them be. It is not Ijaw's business.

Engage only when their madness is directed towards Ijaw affairs, else they are really not worth the efforts and corrections.

Also, whenever they talk about Port Harcourt, just assume they are talking about the equally landlocked Ikwerre areas. We know what Port Harcourt is, they think PH is Obio Akpor & Ikwerre LGA.

Don't just sweat it, they don't deserve the effort.

If those places in Port-Harcourt bear Igbo names and you label them Igbo, would you then say Adelabu opposite, Young Shall Grow Motors, in a Yoruba street?

According to their logic, Olu Obasanjo road should be Yoruba territory.

And By the way, Anyama is Ijaw not Igbo.

That is a fair challenge, I'm most definitely looking forward to that day too.

What your forefathers could not venture for good reasons which you've failed to inquire towards, is what you want to dare. I hope their spirit reach out to you in your dreams before you reach your deserved waterloo.

So because Igbo dominate the areas and they bear Igbo names make them their heritage? You're big fool. Is Gambia also part of the north, as it is dominated by Hausa people? Is Ijaw Quarter an ancestral home of the Ijaw people?
