According to the authoritative Wikipedia,

"Port Harcourt (Igbo: Ụ́gwụ́ Ọ́chá,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][Note 3] Pidgin: "Po-ta-kot"[3][Note 4] is the capital of Rivers State, Nigeria. It lies along the Bonny River and is located in the Niger Delta. According to the 2006 Nigerian census Port Harcourt has a population of 1,382,592. The port was built in 1912, but not given a name until August 1913, when the Governor of Nigeria, Sir Frederick Lugard, named it "Port Harcourt" in honor of Lewis Vernon Harcourt, then the Secretary of State for the Colonies.[12][16]

The area that became Port Harcourt in 1912 was before that part of the farmlands of the Diobu village group of the Ikwerre, an Igbo sub-group. [17] The colonial administration of Nigeria created the port to export coal from the collieries of Port Harcourt (Igbo: Ụ́gwụ́ Ọ́chá,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][Note 3] Pidgin: "Po-ta-kot"[3][Note 4] is the capital of Rivers State, Nigeria.

Any attempt to rewrite the history of the Igbos will not work! Ignorance and hatred are diseases, free yourself from them.

In this Nigeria the best citizens as of now are Igbos...
But is too small to our respect and expectation...
We need biafra to maximize our opportunities in reaching our expectations...
That's why we want Biafra...
You can chop all the classes of citizen and continue suffering and smiling...
While the igbos continue soaring higher and higher... Fool...

Besides Igbos are coming back to take back their land...
Better prepare well bc by then there will be no recognize state in Nigeria as Nigeria will not even smell to come and side you....

My brother understand that most of those idiots claiming minority/SS are actually yorubas.

Abuja, Lagos and Kano are also Igbo cities (see proofs)

Bro I know that too well...
Yorubas are no longer threat to us here in Nairaland...
Is the people of okirikans in iguocha who are ready to thrash the efforts of the Igbos in uniting the whole eastern region that make up biafra, we got to watch out for.

these zombies are creating more troubles for the igbos. You guys should just STOP IT

Chanchit:

So to you who are the people that owns pH that igbos should start protest to reclaim?

This funny people don commot eye for Lagos. Now na PHC.

I have the honour to enclose for your information charts of the estuaries and rivers in the neighbourhood of the proposed port and terminus of the Eastern Railway at Diobu or more correctly Iguocha..

Is it not clear that the Eastern Railway at Diobu was formerly known as Iguocha and NOT the entire Portharcourt City? This is easy to comprehend.

The colonial government caused the people of Diobu to cede their land, and in 1912 the building of a port-town was started Other villages that were later absorbed into the city included Oroworukwo, Mkpogua, and Rumuomasi; In the creeks to the south of the original port were the fishing camps and grounds of the Okrika-Ijaw group

Can't it be inferred that Iguocha, other Ikwerre farmlands/towns and Okrika Fishing camps makes up portharcourt? Is this not clear? So when did the whole PHC become Iguocha? Is Iguocha, a town in Diobu(as at then) now Igbo owned or Ikwerre owned?


For the upteenth time, PHC is not Iguocha or Igweocha and has never been. Parts of Portharcourt? Maybe, just like every other towns that makes up the citu. But if the Ikwerres wants it renamed(their parts), it is between the RVSG, Ikwerre people and Okrika people

My friend you are sounding more and more hollow. SMH.
It is painful to watch an otherwise intelligent man commit logical "sepuku" rather than accept simple truth.
What do you mean by that Port Harcourt can never be Iguocha? Are you blind? Can't you read historical document presented to you in black and white?
I thank God for other Ijaws here like Dearpreye. I would have thought that all Ijaws are hopeless.
Drop it man!

Ciscogod:

very funny set of people my brother chei my belle ooh laugh. Very confused set of people.

Jus gettin g a lil' history lesson n enjoyin it

It is all about oyel

,

PH belongs to Ikwerre- Igbos
Just as Aba belongs to Ngwa- Igbos.

If Ikwerres refuse to be fully part of Biafra, then they become to us, what Taiwan is to China. ie an independent region/ country, affiliated to Biafra and part and parcel of Biafra commonwealth.

To all the hawks in Arewa-Oduanistan and defunct Eastern region eyeing PH,and expecting Biafra to secede without PH, you lots are high on fanta.


Continue dreaming, open more impostor Ikwerre monikers if that will make you sleep better.

UncleLondon:

Really? Was that why Arewa-Oduanistans gave away the Ancestral lands of Bakasi people to Cameroun to stop Biafrans?

So it was all about oyel? You wanted to grab the eastern oil wealth by hook and crook that you didn't mind rendering a people eternally homeless with no place to farm, build house or call home.
