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?

HopeAtHand:


Call your many Ikwerre sons out..That Anambra fool Ezepromoe can only deceive himself and not me.

Aside Oyigbo LGA and Egbema in Onelga, there is no Igbo whatever in Rivers state ..you are just lying to yourself..because about 100 or less persons took to the streets to wail about the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, you have decided you run PH..you Igbos have been noticed..

Our stand on the issue has been made clear, we regard Ipob as miscreants and any other protesters will be treated as such next time.

HopeAtHand:


Cheruv, i an challenging you to come and take Oyigbo if you can.

The biafran illusion is making many igbos delusional and highly irrational.

It is on record that Oyigbo land belongs to Rivers aborigines most notably the Ogonis and Ikwerres ..The people of Oyigbo are our customary tenants..anyday they feel they have had enough of Rivers state, they should swim across the River ( we wont allow them cross the bridge, they must swim ) into Abia and reside there with their like minds.

I cared less about Igbo Unity, i only care about my land...its about time!

HopeAtHand:


Correction Mr Pazienza, The Ikwerre is an Ikwerre speaking tribe...ethnic groups who speak some form of Ikwerre are Ekpeye and Etche

You need us more dan we need you...and we dnt need you simply because our 100,000 barrel a day is more dan enough for us..next thing you know, Igbos will turn to a new leech as Hausa/fulani leeches become excised.

We have a fine city in PH which is better than what the whole Igboland can offer us with access to the sea..so i see why we should be Igbo focal point but No..we are best left alone.

Truckpusher:
What was he doing at Ore ?

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.

DelticStephEn:

Boy.
you just like talking nonsense.
Ojukwu took d war to Lagos through Ore becos he want to put a quick end to d war.
Becos Lagos was d NG capital then where d Nigeria Army operates from.
had it Been he succeeded in capturing d FG army Command center/HQ in Lagos he would HV demobilize d Nigerian Army by Cutting off d Communication,there by making easy to defeat d Nigerian army.
that HV always been a military strategy.
If he was Greedy what was it in Lagos back then that he is looking for?
is there any Oil in Ore/Lagos.?
was there no see port in Calabar?
what Exactly was he looking for in Lagos that was not in Biafra?
that is how you should reason.
not talking like a kid base on wat Media propaganda says just because they want to tarnish d image of Ojukwu in order for d world d to disassociate demselves from helping him in d war thinking that he was Greedy.
but it is very unfortunate you are still sticking your @ss to what media propaganda says.
Smh

@ gykes, ignorance is a disease, my dear u need to go back to school, I am a pure ikwere guy from isiokpo to be precise and I am igbo, we ikweres are igbos,


Let me first educate u about my town isiokpo, the name isi-okpo itself is 100% igbo, and inside my town we have ada-nta , nkara- ahia, ali - mmini, and azu - mmini, these are autonomous communities that makes up isiokpo town which is the capital of ikwere LGA ,, I know u will agree with me that both the name ikwere, isi-okpo , ada-nta and the rest are 100% igbo,


The language we ikweres speaks are even more igboid and can be understood by any igbo speaking person from delta state to ebonyi and the rest just to mention but a few , and our igbo is even clearer than that of people from Nsukka in enugu state or abakilike in ebonyi state yet they are igbo.

Mr gykes, don't we have 4 market days as in every other igbo communities ? Named as Eke , orie , afu, nkwo ? Ask anyother ikwere person he or she will tell u we do,


Stop deceiving urself my dear

discusant:

.

You say you are from Rivers state, and you want your Rivers state out of Nigeria.

.Igbos say they want out of Nigeria.
But you fail to understand that by your fighting the Igbo over what you believe is Igbo inclination to covet old Rivers state to Biafra, you are fighting also your own Rivers state agitation to leave Nigeria?

Do you also understand that if the old Rivers state opts to go alone from Nigeria without the Igbo, it may be an uphill, if not impossible task?

Do you also understand that the same way you are separating Igbo from others in the old southeast region, the Bayelsans can also say they have no business sharing the same country with present Rivers state,hence your dream of freedom from the present occupation in Nigeria is dashed?

Some of you wrongly believe that the Igbo covet the old Rivers state for Biafra because of crude oil or seaport? Wrong. Switzerland is the most affluent country in Europe, but Switzerland is landlocked. It has no oil. So what is it that makes some of you from the old Rivers state impossible to analyse situations, instead of getting fixated on what Northern and southwest propaganda told your elders during the civil war that Igbo shall enslave you if you join Biafra with the Igbo?

That brainwashing of your elders has made you stand and watch the Abdullahis and Muritallas from north and southwest of Nigeria colonize the oil wells in your backyard, with little or no opposition. Yet you continue on the same route.

Well, at this point that you've resorted to insults and name calling I'm afraid I do not engage animals in a sensitive issue and what was meant to be an intelligent argument.

Yes! Port Harcourt was renamed after a white man no doubt just like every colonized place on the face of the earth - Today Lagos formerly known as Eko was renamed by colonialists or visiting Portuguese sailors ,can't really rap my head around the story-line right now but the fact remains that the city that makes up Port Harcourt were all collections of different towns and villages belonging to the Ikwerres and some parts belonging to the Okrika people especially the Abuloma and Amadi Ama and Town (Bolokiri,NPA and Yamzi waterside) axis . So, what are you trying to prove here?

I even heard one stupid story from one of your IPOB touts ,how Igbos use to come over to Port Harcourt to farm before colonization....smh

With the lies you guys are spreading so far, I think it is practically impossible to have your phantom Biafra. Honestly.

superstar1:
\It seems there is always one bad news for the Biafraudsters on a daily basis.

gykes:


You are IGBO but definitely not from Ikwerre. How did I come to this conclusion, simple - you display the same behavioural trend as every Igbo man here on NL, resorting to throwing tantrums and dummy spits, abuses and insults are also very noticeable traits as well. These trends come on display when an Ikwerre son openly states his disagreement to your claim of his fathers land. However sir, I refuse to be tricked into stooping to the level of engaging in e-fights and exchange of abusive words as it doesn't add a dime to my bank account.

Now, about the cultural similarities, I can tell you Ikwerre and Igbo share at lot of that including our names but does that make as one? The northerners esp Hausa-Fulani share a lot with the Arabs, infact huge number of fulanis have curly hairs, does that in any way suggest they are Arabs? Even Lebanese in the middle east don't consider themselves Arabs let alone the Hausa man.

Now, you spoke about the igboid language. My brother, (yes you are my brother as long as we both have blood running in our veins), the Igbo language came to the southern part of the country as a language of trade and commerce, most people in the 60s down to 80s were thought this language in their classrooms. It is the language of the market trader due to the high illiteracy level of that time. Same could be said of the Hausa language. There are minority tribes here in the middle belt that adopted most of their words especially words associated with trade and sophistication from the Hausa language. Even after the Fulani invasion by Usman Danfodio, the Hausa language was still widely spoken and thus used as against the fulani language for trade. Sir, there are tribes like Igan, Lantan, even the Baghi people of Abuja(Gwari) understand and speak Hausa. The language has even taken root into their own native vernacular. Does that make this people in any way Hausas?


One more thing, it may interest you to know that, the famous Chibok girls of far North in Borno State are Christians and not in any way hausas. But they wear the hijab, why is that? Cultural similarities or Acculturation. Do you know that the father of NYSC Gen.Yakubu "Jack" Gowon is a Christian and not even hausa? Same thing with The speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara yet you always see him wear babariga and jalabia (spelling )
Now let me educate you a little. Yakubu is arabic for Jacob, that explains "Jack" in Gowon's name. Musa is arabic for Moses, and yes I've seen Christians who bear Musa here in the FCT. Samshudeen is Samson (pardon my spelling), Dauda is David. All these cultural similarities are born out of proximity.
Most northerners go with Arabic names and minority tribes adopt these names while acknowledging their religious standing and in same manner, southerners answer western/christian/jewish names.


IKWERRE IS NOT IGBO
What's money in Ikwerre and money in igbo?
How about simple greetings like "good morning" and "goodafternoon". What is the ikwerre version of the Igbo phrase "Igbo kwenu" and I'm also interested in the Etche version as well....

Good morning sir

There is nothing like biafra, which ceased to exist under 1970' surrender term! If you want to reawaken this dead and decayed episode in Nigerian history you can only count on a few diehards intent on anarchy. I hope they are ready to dance to the music they play.

Rest assured that majority of Nigerians, including all 36 states are looking forward to progressing the national project rather than the myopic distractions of those wishing to retrogress.

holocron:


Pls check your history. PHC of the colonial era was a new town in an area known as ugwuocha and consisted of only phc township, old gra, diobu, the sea port and railway station. Everywhere else from present eleme flyover to mile1 flyover was uninhabited bush. Igbos populated diobu and constituted a majority in the new town.

Research the idea of biafra first before condemning it. It was and is the last beacon of hope for the the african; indeed the entire black race. The idea of a totally black indegenous MORDERN state. All other african states except ethiopia are ofcourse, foreign constructions.

I am not saying that it can be realized in the manner and form that is being preached though.

Truckpusher:
You're getting it twisted ,maybe you need to read my posts upside down.

On the highlighted, your people started a war and we became collateral damage and it's not the North and the South west that has colonized the oil wells of the Niger Delta but also the Igbos too are deeply a beneficiary of the system too.The problem of Nigeria is the insatiable greed of the big three who sees every other small region as a means to an end and this is where we are - If the Igbos had the same opportunity like the Abdulahhis and the Femis you'll do worse. Mark my words

discusant:


Igbo did not exploit whoever they lived together for decades under southeast region. How can Igbo exploit fellow easterners in Biafra?
Exploitation?

Remember, Igbo putting more time and energy to do business, make money, buy landed property anywhere, including anywhere in the old southeast region is NEVER exploitation.
By the way, do you even know that Port Harcourt was founded for evacuation of coal from Enugu?

I tend to believe I am replying to a Yoruba, that you are not from the south south as you claim.

Truckpusher:
Igbos populated Diobu while the indigenous people simply vanished into thin air? .

A movement that is preaching hate and half truth while agitating for a violent secession can never be the last beacon of hope the entire black race go figure and even if the idea was perfect the preachers of such ideas are fanning the embers of disunity ,hatred, and fear among the very people they want to unite.The manner in which Nnamdi Kanu and his brainwashed youths are going about it would only end up creating an inferno that would cripple the entire country which was suppose to be the last beacon of hope for Africa and the entire black race if only some quarters of this country will agree to do the right thing for once.
