OrlandoOwoh: OP is a lier, the first exploration to discover oil wasn't in Owerri, not even in Oloibiri. It took place in today's Ondo State before the outbreak of the First World War by a German company. The loss of the Germany in the war made it stop its operation.

OrlandoOwoh:
Ikwerre as not a dialect of the Igbo language. Ikwerre people are a distict people that got missed up with Igbo through trade. Read Elechi Amadi's "Sunset in Biafra." No Ikwerre calls himself Igbo.

zuchyblink: LOL......that was funny

zuchyblink: how come they bear Igbo names?if they are not igbos,who are they? They speak igbo with dialectical variation.

OrlandoOwoh:
I've given you facts to back my claim. Where is yours to back your claim that oil was first discovered in Owerri?

englishmart: I hate this thread.
If you are hated, I'm not hated.
The igbos are only being envied.
They wish to be like us. But they just can't.............















I rest my case

OrlandoOwoh:
Inter-tribal trade is the reason. Does bearing Yoruba names by Igbirra make them Yoruba?

Unemadu:

Your first two statements shows ur insecurity

nwabekeyi: bros ikwerres are igbos, they speak igbo and we understand them, just that they don't wanna be igbos, so be it, don't bring igbirra and yoruba analogy, igbirras and yorubas are to different entities entirely. We don't see them as igbo any longer, are you happy?

OrlandoOwoh:
I no get time to talk too much, I wan sleep. Go read Elechi Amadi's "Sunset in Biafra."

nwabekeyi: you lies itch my eyes

omenka: You make a valid point. That is how it should be if we were practising true federalism, but given the warped nature of the Nigerian politicosphare, it makes perfect sense to aspire to hold power at the centre.

Looking at what you said from another angle, one could turn your argument of the irrelevance of agitating for the presidency, siting the state of the north as your backup point, on its head! One could say, the dearth of development in the north as compared to the other regions, even though they've had the highest number of chances at the presidency, is a testimony to the selflessness and nationalistic character of leaders of northern extraction! They could argue the northerners had the chance to develop they regions exclusively without question (since most were military regimes answerable to nobody) but rather chosed to uniformly spread development across the country giving their own region FAR LESS!! Hope you follow my drift?

Now, that aside, the fact that northern presidencies hasn't really reflected on the wellbeing on the north doesn't necessarily mean that an Igbo presidency would go thesame way. Have certain bigoted elements on this forum not severally praised Stella Udua for most of the FG sponsored aviation projects in the SE?? What makes you think that if someone like her for instance is made the president (God forbid), a lot more wouldn't be done??

Whatever it is, it pays in Nigeria of today to have good governors, and pays even more to hold power at the centre!

Ventura1:

Why do u pose security risk to others? Anywhere there are igbo's, there is always a surge in robbery and other criminal activities. WHY?

zuchyblink: most notable criminals in Nigeria are non-igbos(especially the leaders that have reduced this country to vegetable since 1967 till date)for the people on forbes list,it is just through federal government might(most of them are oil thieves and people given the right to monopolize some sectors)

hapi: I hate the igbos because of their blind loyalty to Jonathan, They are dragging this nation backwards by supporting corruption, ineffectiveness and stu.pidity. I just wish this country will split up let them form their biafra and me my beautiful middle belt. Am sure the igbos will destroy each other, very untrustful and criminal set of people.
