Maybe an Igbo man should run for governor of rivers state let's see if he can win a polling unit not even in obigbo

lyricalpontiff:


The igbo agenda failed and it will keep failing because Ikwerres will never in the ever of evers agree to be Igbos.

galeiiTNA:


Iyalla is his first name. People give their kids names that are their tribal names. However his family name is Amadi, which is Igbo

pazienza:


This was your first post. "elective office" is the bone of contention here.

And the answer is yes! It's an elective post. You have to be elected by a people elected by the people.

Stop running around in cycles.

Noneroone:
@ pazienza you should have listened to the person who asked you not to reply the thread. The op is not looking for clarifications, he wants to make igbophobic argument for the sake of it.

@ the topic, divisive elements exist everywhere. In my town in the 80s one man who town union politics did not favour fought hard to create what he called autonomous community in one of the quarters of my town. He even tried to rename the village claiming it was the previous name. But politician from my town went to withdraw it on the eve of the announcement in Enugu. He later died and his death brought peace to my town.

lyricalpontiff:
Do you know that an Igbo man was mayor of port harcourt for years?
God in heaven saved us from the evil plot of these igbo people.
They almost put Aba inside Rivers state infact Aba was the de facto capital of Rivers State.

AjiereTuwo:

Iyalla is an ijaw name

OPCNAIRALAND:
Im Yoruba. How do I know that Obinna, which I always associate ethnically as Ibo, is actually not Ibo but Ikwerre? It gets more confusing if I meet an Obinna tomorrow and think he is Ikwerre but discover he is Ibo.

When it comes to name, dress, customs, food, where does Ibo stop and Ikwerre begin? In others words, what differentiates one from the other?

You can answer anything as your first nanme, what matters is your last name.

AjiereTuwo:

His first name is preye and his last name is iyalla-amadi, maybe Ijaws should start claiming ikwerres by this your logic, its best to live people to identify as what dey choose, Abeg mk una liv ikwerre people alone, rumu nwenem meka ohhh

It was not an elective office .It was not an office of any functional description. So stop trying to be clever by half.It was a ceremonial office. There never was any such thing as a Mayoralty of Enugu.

Stop trying to divert attention the real bone of contention is your lying, You lied that the fellow won the election in Port Harcourt and when called out instead of admitting in typical fashion refuse to apologize and insist we move on to the next focus of your choosing. We are not talking about Enugu here.
We are discussing Port Harcourt where you shamelessly claimed your brother won the election ,he did not just admit gracefully you were wrong .

AjiereTuwo:

That is wrong his name is priye iyalla-amadi
I pointed that out because you where using names as a base for your argument, do you know that okoro is a benin name

pazienza:


You are still running away from your shadows.

From talking about elective post, you shifted to General elections. Now you shifting to job description.

Was Altine elected Mayor of Enugu? Answer is Yes! And that's the end of it. He wasn't appointed, he was elected by a group of Igbo people.

Enugu and Porthacourt were the major towns in the defunct Eastern region, and just as Ikwerre people had to deal with the multi sub Igbo groups who had migrated to PH, so did the owner's of the land in which the Enugu was built on had to deal with the multi sub Igbo groups in Enugu.
And if Enugu people broke away from the Igbo nation yesterday like Ikwerre did, they would also have been talking of fabled "Igbo" colonization of Enugu land. Igbos in this content being the rest of Igbo nation order than themselves.

It won't work we are discussing Port Harcourt here okay. I see why the Ikwerre people flushed you down the drain and off their Facebook page.

Can you be graceful enough to admit your lies about the Egu fellow winning the election in PH it is a LIE.

Then stick to the topic of this thread and stop telling us about Eboes becoming MPs in Poland .It is irrelevant

Are you telling us that the Ikwerre people broke away in 1963 when this incident happened

I thought you folk always claimed they broke away after Biafra.

Like I said you guys lie like 6 year old children

galeiiTNA:


There was no 'we are not igbos' before the civil war.

omonnakoda:

So why was Ogbakor Ikwerre created?
Why did this incident in Port Harcourt in 1963 happen

Why did the Ikwerre insist on their own Bible?

IS this your defense?

Ogbakor Ikwerre is a town's group that organizes town's meeting for its indigenes. Most towns have it

My question is, no tribe is named after its local govt, not tiv, idoma, efik, etc except ikwerre. You know why, cos Ikwerre is nothing more than a community and not a tribe

OPCNAIRALAND:


The Ikwerre wanted their own Bible What language will it printed in, is it still not Ibo?

The Ikwerre Bible is not a plan but a reality and it is published in the Ikwerre language

OPCNAIRALAND:


I thought Ikwerre speak a dialect of Ibo.
