A true ikwerre should have known the tribal components of Rivers state and here you failed woefully. A true Ikwerre should have known about Ogba, Egbema, Ndoni and Obigbo. These are Igbos of RIVERS STATE.

On the other hand, NOT all Ikwerre deny being Igbo. Isaac Mahowu the Deputy President of Ohaneze Ndigbo is a proud igbo man and a lot others. Diobu is a historically well documented Igbo enclave of Aro ancestry. All Ikwerre and Etche deities are IGBO including the Ojukwu of Diobu. So, what the hell are you talkng? Go learn your history and geography. Na afoto onu! Nonsense!

Or better still, learn from your brother HopeAtHand. He misbehaves most of the time but will readily admit that Ikwerre "were once Igbo".
And that "Diobu is of Aro ancestry". With respect to the Okirikans, PH and Rivers state smacks of Igbo.

Stop talking rubbish and tagging me to it.

I dont have time for baseless argument, just provide the link.

Maybe you need to read my post upside down.


On the highlighted : They started seeing me as a war booty the moment you started what you couldn't finish and annexed my rich land and this is exactly what you're doing all over again but this time we want to nip it in the bud before you cause another round of unwanted madness.

Truckpusher:
Yes! I would rather remain with the Igbo man than the back stabbing Yorubas and the Hausa/Fulani who believes that Nigeria belongs to them ,all thanks to Ojukwu whose greed for personal aggrandizement led him to start what he can't finish even with all the handwritten on the wall of how the colonial masters wanted the country to be Governed to ensure their stranglehold on the nation's polity.

We share a lot with the Igbos in common (and we can't deny that) than the aforementioned parasites that has led this country into the abyss despite her numerous natural and human resources ,however that is not a call for total annexation of my land , the bastardization of my culture and distortion of my history and historical facts and also tending to rewrite or write my own history for me - That is an insult taken too far and every right thinking individual would react to that.

The fact that you're jumping into bed with a woman doesn't mean that her insults should be tolerated.

Truckpusher:
On the highlighted I beg to disagree in as much as I have opined several times that we share a lot in common culturally but let me make it very clear that the Ogba Egbema Ndoni people of Rivers Sate are not Igbos but a distinctive tribe with their own distinctive culture and if we follow your line of argument we should be saying that Hausa,Fulani and Kanuris are all Arabs and possibly Fulanis.

I am not against self determination of any kind from any part of the country but deliberately spreading falsehood while masking it with all sorts cheap propaganda that smacks of land grabbing and regional annexation is another form of what is happening in Nigeria where the rest of the states wants the Igbos to remain despite their kick against the oppressive system of the Nigerian state.

Your deliberate distortion of historical facts to sooth your agenda will only alarm these people that you want to force into your struggle and there lies your downfall.

That's the part I'm really trying to understand. I see this very strange coinage on NL every now and then - "igbo Rivers", and I begin to wonder who are the igbos in Rivers State. Last time I checked, there are no igbos in Rivers State. I seriously need to know this strange people because Ikwerre, Etche and Umuma are clearly not igbos as they are stand-alone tribal/ethnic groups. Even Bony where they speak Igbani and simplified/pure igbo languages are ijaw.

Yes I know this because I am a Rivers man and a son of Ikwerre land. On that note, I really need some educating on this "Igbo Rivers" people in Rivers State.

Just a side note: I am not against Biafra and in fact, I am a strong supporter of the UN doctrine on Self Determination, but forcefully dragging a State and/or its people into the Biafran struggle is what I find hard to comprehend let alone assimilate. IMHO It is in every ramification, the same master-slave perception Biafrans as a people are fighting against - it is an obtrusive imposition that should be carefully and promptly checked.

Truckpusher:
Of course we are all aware that you've been going to Wikipedia distorting facts here and there to sooth your endless search for freedom from the oppressive Nigerian state and the unity by force with the indigenous people of the Niger Delta.But the bad news is that we don't need Wikipedia to write our history, even as we all need each other as one equal different entity to actualize a nation where sanity would be a right to all.

Lies and propaganda will only lead to resentment and stun the very people you need to help you free yourselves ,only respect will buy you love and give back respect.

U re half educated.Remind me,was it Gen. Ironsi who created states that scattered the regional arrangement? Do a simple google search, read and check how long that name BIAFRA has been and who brought up the name to be given to the nationalities under threat of extinction by Fulani/Hausa people and their Yoruba collaborators.The man thrown off carter Bridge during the build up to the war wasnt even an Igbo man, they just killed him because his is from down East.Go and read, stop those wikipedia copy and paste, just to sound reasonable. If we then stick to your delusional reasoning of Igbos alone carving Biafra does it not follow logically that Igbo speaking people in Delta-Asaba and others , Rivers, Edo should also join. when u use that word South South, u just keep exposing your sheepish slave mentality of towing the line of ur fraudulent past leaders who concocted that shit.

Please learn to speak for just your Ogba, don't add Ndoni and Egbema to your folly.

After Ogba people invited the Oba of Bini, and bowed down to him, and then went on to rename their Eze to Oba, was when I knew how hopeless Ogba case is.

Man... you are terrible. Ojukwu was not greedy, go on a fact finding mission and do your independent research. Do you know he even offered to resign in the thick of the war but was given a vote of confidence by the eastern house of chief? Are these the signs of a greedy man?

ArodeTsolaye:


Hahaha! this is pure comic. Annex your land? How? Igweocha was in the Eastern region before the war, like ogoja, like calabar, like Uyo and Ojukwu defended those cities when the first shot was fired at Garkem (nothern ogojaland). Many people didn't even know that Ojukwu's Biafra map those days didn't include Asaba( Even though Nzeogwu was from there). Why? Because it was not his constituency in the Eastern Region. They were in the midwest and Aniomas understood it perfectly. If Igbos were that greedy why didn't they 'annex' rich Asaba, Igbanke in those days?

Your land was in the Eastern region and Ojukwu tried to protect it from the vandals and you call that 'annexing" what manner of humans are you lot?
When officers and tribes of eastern origin were killed like goats in kano and lagos, you think your people were spared.

Igbos don't need 'your resources' to survive, they've proved that beyond reasonable doubt. The fulani/ hausa/yoruba vermins that can't survive without your resources currently see in people like you a veritable tool for another round of destruction.
It's up to you accept the truth or live in denial but Biafra will prevail in the end with free minded people, where every province will control their own resources 100%.

I wonder what is holding you inferiority complex suffering fellows from inviting Bini tutors to help teach all Ogba citizens proper Bini, that way you can stop using your current Igbo sounding one. I am sure if Oba Chukwumela made such request, Oba Bini would have obliged.

Oba Chukwumela can also lead the way by changing his name to proper Bini one. Oba Osasomething would be better.

Umu Ogbanje!

nwanlecha:
First of all, I don't know where you are from but please refrain from disparaging the name of Ojukwu who happens to be one of the greatest Igbo heroes I know. Ojukwu was a selfless leader & cared deeply for the well being of his People.
Secondly, I don't know what you mean by the highlighted sentence but know that we Ndi Igbo, are not & have never been interested in claiming your lands or distorting your history. Y'all need to respect the brotherly hand Ndi Igbo have extended to you and not insult us because of that because, you need Ndi Igbo, as much as we need you. Don't forget that we can also dish back the disrespect as much as your people dish it out to us. So, no one should start feeling more important than they really are please.
PS, I hope I didn't come of as aggressive though, 'cause that was certainly not my intention.

Truckpusher:
Ojukwu's declaration of a separate entity within the Nigerian state was for personal aggrandizement.

What was he doing at Ore after pushing back the invading Nigerian army from the Eastern war-front in the first few months of the war? Why did he want Lagos so badly? why didn't he station his army to defend within the Eastern region borders at all cost instead of spreading them too thinly ? why?

coolscott:

It is an insult to associate us in Rivers State with movements engineered by pple who we doubt think through properly before they take a position, much less before they act.

The people of Rivers State, with ancient kingdoms and political structures spanning hundreds of years before the white man came.

Please we have not much in common with those south east people whose current day chieftaincy system was instituted by the white man because he needed a way to govern them in some sort of organised way. The white man had to install paramount chiefs for them so that his indirect rule could work.

It pays to know more about the country we call ours. Of course it gets us better informed, but besides that, our social story (both present and especially historical) is that interesting.

gykes:




Just ignore them! Haba... there's no point talking back.

I noticed a certain behavioral trend amongst these people. Once you dissociate yourself with them they tag you an enemy who is against the Biafran course. I wonder if the actualization of Biafra is dependent on the Rivers man - especially the Ikwerre man.

The most Unthinkable part of the pro baifrian elder state men is that even if this Online Youth and some Jobless youth are carrying placards and online motions for the movement , it's their duty to define to them the price of unity. Great African Leader are talking of United States of Africa, while you are clamoring for selfish orientation. You should watchful of your actions if truly you want a better future for the unborn generation. They only greedy thought and selfish reason in the ibo was because of Ojukwu Greed. #try and always read behind the lines.. learn from true history abeg.

Truckpusher:
In one breath you're referring to Port Harcourt as Igweocha while on the last part of your comment you are talking about resource control 100% - Why should I even listen to a man that wants to rename the capital of my state in broad daylight while selling that dummy of 100% resource control?

nwanlecha:
I do not have time to educate you on the history of the Biafra-nigeria war 'cause it's way past my bed time, but please stop distorting facts about Ojukwu, just as you do not want us to distort facts about your people. Thank you!

ArodeTsolaye:


Hahaha! What was it's name before was named after Harcourt the drunk pedophile. Why don't you name your village after Mr Yerima he is even african. When referendum, choose Nigeria. That shouldn't be difficult and won't stop Biafrans from fighting your fulani-inspired lies.

Truckpusher:
The behavioral pattern is not only on NL but on every social media outlet - In fact they banned me from commenting on their online radio Biafra online via facebook

We have told them that we are not against Biafra but unity is not by force but by mutual agreement and respect for every man's identity for all but they want to shove it down our throat and this is the same thing they are preaching against the Nigerian state that we all want out.

These guys surprises me a lot I swear - If I want the partnership of this nature with anyone the last thing I would do is to touch their cultural identity and any man that wants your identity hidden for any cause has an ulterior motive and it would be stupidity on our own part not to correct these lies they are spreading like wildfire.

Today Port Harcourt is Igweocha ,who knows what they would be calling other cities after they've won their price.
