Oga how and when did Borikiri had an Igbo name, why do people come online to showcase their ignorance. Borikiri is an Ijoid dialect meaning fishing settlement. Ijoid dialect refers to Igbani, Okrika, Kalabari, Nembe etc.

deekseen:
Read how i interpreted Borokiri in Okrika, then read what you wrote and try to figure out if you really have any comprehension skill.

nabzguy:
I have read it once more and i have figured out that i only wasted my mb on a post from a simpleton, check your statement 'Thanks, to mention a few. This is the same reason Borokiri (Fishing Port in Okirika) had an Igbo name in the first place' and advise your ignorance.

deekseen:
Was Borokiri not also known as 'Igwe Ocha', an Igboid name? Or do you decide to think and comprehend with the tiny hole in your bu.tt sometimes?

AjaanaOka:


Borokiri was known as Igwe Ocha?

deekseen:
I don't know what's confusing you guys. Before Port Harcourt expanded, were Borokiri and Town not the main and Original City? Was the then Port Harcourt not referred to as 'Igwe Ocha'?

nabzguy:
So Borikiri was known as igwe ocha maybe ur ancestors left your erosion plaqued villages on tortoise back to coduct d naming ceremony. it is your type that will say Lagos is no mans land.

deekseen:
I hope your ignorance and lack of comprehension doesn't kill you soon.

Igwe Ocha being a former nickname for Port Harcourt doesn't imply that it's an Igbo settlement. Same way Lagos (a Portuguese name) and Eko (an Edo nickname for Lagos) do not give the identity of Lagos to Portugal or Edo state.

By the way, I'm from Okrika. So, I guess it was your ancestors that rode on snail's back.

nabzguy:
How does, according to your initial statement ' had an igbo name at the first place ' now translates to a nickname, maybe in your village you people give nickname before original name. Please Okrikans are not known to be dumb as you are, so
refrain from claiming to be an indigene of Okrika. You certainly lack the intellectual ability to sustain an intelligent conversation, go get an appropriate education, then we can proceed from there.

Oh yeah. . . .I forgot, it is not Yoruba land. Lagos is now Ibibio land, Igbo land and Idoma land. It has been uprooted from its' present location and placed firmly across the Niger, not so??

This obsession with Lagos, is what I can't understand. Last time I checked, I did not see where the map of Nigeria had been re-drawn, to place Lagos firmly outside the South-west. When it suits you, you claim one Nigeria. When it doesn't suit you, you guys claim other ethnic groups are bad and the nation should be divided along ethnic lines, because you don't like the present arrangement. It would be nice if you all could make up your minds, once & for all.

Honestly, I don't care and I do not know much about the issue. Every Nigerian should have equal rights anywhere in the federation, PH and Lagos included regardless of ethnic background. You know, the right to vote and be voted for, own property, rights to economic participation and etcetera.

I do not really wish to listen to what Mr. Clark or Omehia have to say, especially the old man Clark. What kind of Nigerian name is Clark anyway? He should be upset with his great grandfather for accepting a foreign name and leave the residents of PH alone.

Somebody told me that PH is not an igboland while the real landlords speak, hear and bear igbo names, i mean the IKWERRE people.
