because they are not,, i think that is very simple your you and others to understand,.,,.,.,. just because my surname is Ciroma, are you going to call me hausa  NO

so they are not,, simple

Please can I have a real answer? You said "they are not Igbo", i just want to know how come? I understand the whole name thing,but because EzeUche's name is Uche, does that make him Igbo? and if not, what makes him Igbo?

now you are talking, what defines igbo

i think we should go and ask our elders because ngwa, ika, ikwerri, delta ibo etc are saying they are not igbo

we need to ask our elders who igbos are

People tend to forget that there are Aro-Ikwerre. The Aro have settled with Ikwerre long ago. And continue to have such hybrids. I will claim Port Harcourt as a home away from home. My birthplace if Port Harcourt. I speak the Ikwerre dialect. That makes me Port Harcourt to the core.  

Port Harcourt, is a mixed city, the original part of the city was not identified with any tribe. As the city grew it expanded to encompass Ikwere villages which were then incorporated into it. As the price of property rose more "cheap" Ikwere land was acquired to build houses.  

So there are non indigenous Nigerians who actually live in Ikwere villages and think they live in Port Harcourt.

As to Ibo or not, these are ideas which others like to propagate, and argue about especially on NL.

That is not what this thread is about. Can't you take your debate to another thread, or most you contaminate everything you touch? You guys are like a virus.

And you are a buffoon for questioning me. I do not have patience for those who mock me. You hold your tongue next time boy. Do I make myself clear?

Where I come from we don't get angry at mentally deranged people. We pity them and try and get them help. I have already advised you to get help have I not?

I could care less where you come from, but where I come from, a person who makes an accusation should provide facts that back up that statement. If he doesn't, well. . . we all know what happens to those who bear false witness.

No, I'm not going to join. I was only around because of someone's use of "Igu Ochha" as opposed to "Igwe Ocha", which prompted me to read further.

These things are not what RIVERS STATE needs. What WE want is for there to be more than ONE city in the state.

If Amaechi really had the interest of the state at heart he would have tried to build A new town/city in each senatorial district. he could then place all these new buildings in them.

All he is doing is just helping his semi ibo brothers. Thank God the FG has understood the issue and is building a new city outside PH.


PH is your "hometown"? I doubt that seriously.

Some corrections.

1) Rivers State government under Amaechi are the ones building the new PHC and not FG.

2)It is not right to address anybody as semi-Ibo.

3)Amaechi is not involved in ethnic politics

I tend to concur with you on the need for more distinct cities in Rivers state.Omoku is a growing town that has enough land and already hosts a lot of multi-national firms.Bori is another prospective town that can be upgraded.I think in the next phase Bori or Omoku should be tackled.

For those claiming ownership of Port-Harcourt,you need little corrections.It is highly cosmopolitan but the aborigines belong to two major ethnic blocks of Igbo and Ijaw.They identify themselves as distinct ethnicities of Okrika and Ikwerre.

Please when is this project expected to be completed?

As I said in my post "A NEW CITY" not another PHC. This is being funded by the FG.

It is located in another LG, a site in or near Ogoni Land was chosen.

Most definitely Amaechi is involved in ethnic politics. I am surprised that you can say something like that.

Let this project be completed first as it will work as a pilot scheme for other cities.

Also the idea of building new cities in place of PH is good however you dont necessrily have to build, you link two cities together by providing easy access through roads and trains.

You will be amazed at how people will flock to these towns and in a short while it will become a city in its own right.

Remember that places like Obibo where all villages but with easy access people began to move there, so also it will be for other towns.

Garden city community sports center,

Iv-Consult designs – in cooperation with Hollandia and Arcelor Mittal – a new sports stadium in the city of Port Harcourt in Nigeria. This ‘Sports Bowl’ is part of the sport village ‘Garden City Community Sports Centre’, financed by the County of River State. In the village all possible sports will be present.
Sports Bowl is approximately 150 x 300 meters. The galleries are made of concrete and about 15 meters high. A steel canopy roof with a span of 40 meters and one support in the middle will be placed on top of the concrete. The complete canopy consists of 8 separate sections, which are made of framework trusses and purlins. All parts will be assembled with bolts on the spot.
Transportation, logistics and assembly of the trusses are a big challenge, because many kilometers of steel profiles and thousands of parts have to be shipped from The Netherlands to Nigeria. Sport Bowl has to be finished in 2011.

getting ready for the national sports festival,

garden city sports centre cont.d,

any update?

The monorail is being built steadily.
