Before i start, i want you guys to know I have no interest trying to be tribalistic and will try as much as possible not to be.

Almost every person that visit politics section has seen opinion, arguments and debate if SS is Igbo state or not.Though saying SS is Biafra is debatable and you could be right or wrong
Here is my humble opinion.

First almost every state has a geographical location designated to a tribe in the state, like there is a place for Kalabari people, a place for Ikwerre people, a place for Urhobo, Itsekiri, Akenfa, Ijaw all in SS, but there is no place for Igbo, If u think Ikwerre speak Igbo and are Igbos then that is like saying Okirika speaks kalabari therefore Okirika is Kalabari, as a matter of fact, Kalabari can't understand Ijaw but can easily understand Okirika.

2. SS does not have the ethnic make up like every other region... When you see an Igbo man, its easy to know with their fair complexion, Yoruba people got their tribal marks and a distinct face, Hausa also have a distinct face but SS doesn't, as a matter of fact I feel David ibiyeomie(Okirika) looks more like Amaechi(Igbo) than Amaechi looks like Igbo

3. You can tell where a person come from when they speak the English language... Safe for typical Ijaw man from Bayelsa, no other tribe in SS has his/her mother tongue in English but you can find it in other parts, though its a bit difficult to detect in Igbo.

4. Most people think Igbo dominate Rivers but that is a lie, Ikwerre does and not Igbo's and most Igbo's are there because two of its state shares border with Rivers, Infact 45-50% of Rivers state share border with Igbo, and also with Akwa-Ibom, those Igbo's here are immigrants and not part of Rivers, Infact there are a lot of akwa-Ibom in Rivers also, infact for every two Igbo's in Rivers, you will find one Akwa-Ibom.

5. This one is embarrassing about us but its something I noticed too. One feature about SS especially Rivers is their violent nature, While present Igbo's are actually not gonna do much to a threat and will rather bluff and tell you they could bring heaven down on earth, An Ikwerre man will shamelessly carry a machete and cut anyone in his way, An Ijaw man will carry gun as seen in the clash in Abonnema and Amassoma. more like Igbos are either diplomatic or scaredy cats, SS is violent, and when it come to that, its like most of us here have brains specially made to decorate the inside of the skull
Maybe all Nigerians share this trait sha, We just too like violent and Igbo's went to war with the entire NA. so No5 is actually debatable that is why I said present SS

who is this pained goat

Ewedu revisionism. You go cry die!

Tell the Ifeanyi in Delta, Dike in Rivers to denounce their Igbo names and heritage na.

If na your mama born you, go to Rivers and Delta and tell the Igboid groups to drop their Igbo names and take up your ewedu names, if e to pain you.

I'm from Okpanam, Delta State and I'm an Igbo man.

It is not alike. The names are THE SAME.

What Ifeanyi means in Asaba, is the same meaning in Enugu.

What Obioha means in Elele is the same meaning in Owerri.

Lament die, e no change anything.

Even your ogas who are far more educated than a hoodrat like you have failed as anti-Igbo revisionists. In plain English, you no get hope.

Hang yourself my brother. That's the only time you can have peace on this issue.

Who the "We" in the above silly post? If you are a dumbass Ikwerre say so and stop showing regrets about being an imbecilic Ikwerre. What has being Igbo got to do with a none Igbo in the moronic south-south?

THE PEOPLE FROM SOUTHSOUTH KNOW THEY ARE BIAFRANS, THEY SAY IT OPENLY.


GO ON YOUTUBE AND SEE DEM.

dukeprince50:
bastard son of a thousand fathers, did you read the fourth point before showing ur stupidity?

It takes one bastard to recognize another in a public forum. In addition, it is an act of idiocy to deliberate on what most people thought about Ikwerre and dominance of Rivers State as it relates whether Ikwerre is Igbo or not. Who in his or her right frame of mind think about Ikwerre being Igbo? I had rather have an Annang person as Igbo than Ikwerre. What additional significance to Igbo land with Ikwerri as Igbo? Sometimes some fools take themselves into the slippery path of foolery to the depth of imbecility. To say that you are a dunce is an insult to dummies.

This is one of the urgent reasons I want Nigeria to be totally and unconditionally disintegrated. Why on earth would anybody wants this imbecilic character as compatriot? The jackass does not deserve a pint of free air.

O boy u are a clown . Is it only ikwerre that speak Igbo alike in Rivers state. Even if u say Ikwerre are not Igbo, what about Obigbo, What about Eche/Omuma , what about Egbema, Ahoada East. In fact what is the population of Okrika. Okrika and Calabari together is just 4 local government. Igbo speaking areas are more than 10 LGA . quote me what about Opobo/Nkoro, Bornu speak Igbo even though some claim Igbani Heritage. Don't say something u don't know. OK tell me the Major language popular in Rivers state aside Igbo.. Mumu dey worry u.
Even Okrika in all 13 communities, more than 6 speak and understand Igbo. Yeye dey smell Anumpam

Oga I am from opobo am a defendant of King jaja, in my place all we speak is pure ibo and am sorry to tell you that my people have a link with obehe in abia state, even my father have told me b4 that we are of the ibo race so pls learn to speak 4 urself and ur family ok?
