Ikwerre isn't a dialect. Ikwerre is made up of at least 9 dialectalal areas. Ikwerre isn't Igbo, though Igbo's might understand us, we hardly understand them.

I doubt if you are an Ikwerre person. Ikwerre is not made up nine dialects, it's made up of four family dialects, which means, these four dialects speak similar Igbo language with little difference among themselves.

I have taken time to study about Igbo dialects. They all have family dialects, that's a group of them speak a similar dialect with little differences.

I really doubt if are an Ikwerre person or even from Rivers State because everybody from igboid ethnic group will naturally understand central Igbo.

If you know where I'm from, you wouldn't be saying this. I laugh whenever I come online and see people people say we are not Igbos... bla bla. Like seriously �

Tribe is not defined by political classification. Tribes are defined by personality, language, culture and traditions.

obidark:


they already told you over and over again that they are not igbos,and you still attachin igbo to their names....
americans mostly are british....but do they identify as british today....??

latein america have their roots in spain and portugal,but do they identifie as spanish or portugies today....??
you are trying to force something that is not no more....

What you people don't understand is that, as long as Ikwerres or other ethnicity retain their Igbo language and culture, this argument will never end, forever and ever. It's quite natural for Igbos to regard them as part of them because you can't really differentiate them. I mean, these people are same people in all aspects. Never seen Igbos claim tribes like Effik, Idoma, Ibibio, etc. These are close tribes but they don't speak same language. These people speak Igbo and practice Igbo culture and traditions. They are forever one. A black man may say he is not black but as long as his skin remains black, he is fooling himself. These people are Igbos and will remain Igbos forever, unless they change their language and culture

HopeAtHand:


We didn't retain anything, we have already evolved a new spelling of our language names

eg Dike Oha (Igbo) ---- Dikne Ohna(Ikwerre)

Lol... Still the same. Igbos have different dialects. They all understand themselves. Every Igboid group in Rivers and Delta states will naturally understand the central Igbo when being spoken to them. These people are purely same people in all aspects. You can't differentiate them. You really can't

dukeprince50:
I did not mention Igbo, why are you hating? mind you I am from rivers state, not Ikwerre anyways

What you people don't understand is that, as long as Ikwerres or any other ethnicity retain Igbo language and culture, they will forever be seen and regarded as Igbos. This argument will never end, forever and ever. It very natural for Igbos to see these people as part of them. You can't differentiate them. Same people in all aspect.

Water has already crossed the bridge.

We are now an officially recognized ethnicity from Nigerias 1970 constitution upwards. Be happy for us. It has always been what we wanted. We are still brothers tho.

What you people don't understand is that, as long as Ikwerres or any other Igboid ethnic group retain their version of Igbo language and culture, they will forever be regarded as Igbos. This argument will never end forever and ever as long as they retain their Igbo language and culture. It's natural for Igbos to see them as one of them. Igbos are businessmen. They don't go about claiming people. Igbos have never claimed any close tribes like Effik, Idoma, Ibibio, etc. They claim this people because they speak same language and practice same culture. This argument will never end, unless this people drop their language and culture which is not possible. A black man may claim he is not black but his skin remains black. From everything, these people are Igbos

IkwerreSon:



Continue to fool yourself.

Ikwerre is over 50% of Rivers state, with 80% of all state and federal government infrastructures in Port Harcourt and Obio-Apkor local govt all in Ikwerre land.

Ikwerre has produce 3 governors from 2007 till date.

How can you claim Wike an Ikwerre man is telling the Ikwere not to be intimidated by other tribes and they are not second class citizens in Rivers state where we are in charge Where is the sign of intimidation there

You igbos hate truth.

Wike is telling Ikwerre People not to be intimidated by you igbos who are the only tribe in Nigeria that wants to kill them selves claiming Ikwerre is Igbo.

Which is the reason why he said, he is an Ikwerre man, not Igbo man and he urged his people to be proud of being Ikwere nothing else and if anybody ask them where are you from they should say I am an Ikwerre man.

He said this in front of your Igbo governors and politicians in general.

Kiss the truth, We are Ikwerre People we know our history, Port Harcourt City one of Ikwerre local government in Rivers state is far developed than all Igbo state capitals.

Wike knows this, that is why he says we are very important, more important than you igbos in the Nigeria.

I e have airport, sea port, and better resources in Ikwerre land than the whole of South East. Forget about the resources yet to be tapped, we are talking about the resources we have now.

How many Ikwerrre in South East? South West and Northern Nigeria?

Port Harcourt is our city, we are happy and living peaceful with other tribes of Nigeria, it is only you igbos that we give serious headache in Port Harcourt.

That is why when Wike was Local Govt Chairman of Obob-Apkor he dealt with you Igbos, which made you igbos under the organization of non-indigenes kicked against Wike Governorship race, and never supported him and it’s on record.

You igbos also wrote to Buhari to review abandoned Properties in Port Harcourt (Ikwerre land) claiming that it is only in Port Harcourt that we Ikwerre People and other tribes in Rivers (ogoni and Ijaw) that never gave back the properties of the igbos declared abandon by these tribes because we are not brothers and we hate your Igbo doings. Some of us don’t even get married to Igbos in Ikwerre.

You better grow up and accept truth which is the problem of you igbos.

Ikwerre is about 3 million people and you igbos with over 30million population are killing yourselves for Ikwerre.

Na wah! Lol

What you imposters don't understand is that as long as the Ikwerres or any other ethnicity in Nigeria retain their Igbo language and culture, they will forever be classified as Igbos. It is very natural for Igbos to see them as one of theirs which indeed they are. Come what may this argument of being Igbo or not will never end. Forever and ever as long as these people retain Igbo language and culture. Have never seen Igbos claim Effik, Idoma, Ibibio, etc. Reasons being, they don't speak same language

God bless you on your marriage, Ghanaian women are the sweetest girls in the world. Infact, I can go and come back in this world to marry a Ghanaian woman again and again but I will always advice anybody including myself, never trust a Ghanaian woman.

Yeah

Returning to Nigeria or not, Kanu is very brave and I commend his bravery. For someone to single-handedly confront federal might and gather such huge supporters. Even with high numbers of enemies and haters, his messages have gone a long way to open people's eyes to the truth and unite the people of Eastern Region (South East and South South)

Almost all of them have Igbo names. With either Eze or Obi title which is Igbo words for king

Your problem is fear

But if truly you are hiv positive, taking high dose of Vitamin C daily is very capable to cure you in months or few years time depending on how your immune system fights off the infection.

The fast way out is to abstain from cooked or processed foods and anything drug apart from immune system boosters like Vitamin C etc. Eat ONLY RAW fruits and drink a lot of clean water. Your body will heal itself in some months time, and you start living your normal life. It's called "Heal Thyself". A rare truth.

I recharge with nepa anytime there is light

What is the name of the power bank? Can you post the picture? Where is it sold?

And one other soldier was busy flogging masquerade. Misplaced priority

Take a step in right direction and God will lead you through

Ohk

Nice response

Nigeria has a history of beating South Africa in North Africa

Seems history just repeated itself

MONIKERREVEALER:
gerraway from me you coward!!!

is it because you are safely ensconced in una lagos wey dey make you feel say nothing dey happen?!!!

if you were to have nowhere else to sleep tonight apart from a ramshackle decripit thatch hut on the outskirts of a remote village somewhere in the middle-belt, I bet you that you would never be able to sleep with both eyes closed for fear of your rickety wooden door getting kicked down at midnight by the slippers of killer herdsmen and you and your family sleeping inside having your lives snuffed out in seconds!!!

the shiithole must be broken up ASAP so that more manageable geopolitical groupings with similar mindsets and goals can begin to chart a brighter future for themselves as well as come up with a more committed citizenry who are ready to protect, preserve and develop their new countries with the last drop of their blood!!!

LIKE REAL MEN ALWAYS DO!!!

the international interventionist invaders are soon coming to the shiithole to tear zoogeria to pieces and we, the great easterners, are SOO gone from the shiithole ASAP, AMEN!!!

Excuse me Mr Ranter, I'm not a Nigerian, and I don't stay in Nigeria. Just that as a black man who has been to Nigeria and some African countries, I feel like all blacks are one an should should contribute to each others growth and interest.

When your country operates in Regional System of Government. Each region is more like a different country


I doubt you are from Eastern Nigeria because most of them I meet here are wise and friendly. They don't rant. They construct words wisely than ranting. Perhaps, you need to grow up. It's not always about ranting up and down. It doesn't solve problems without good plan and thinking. Even if you go your separate ways with Nigerian mindset, it's still the same thing. I'm suggesting new strategies and new way of life entirely. Think about it and quit ranting.

tyup:


Lol powerless you say? dont underestimate them bro

Just like saying you'll put about 5 80years old General in jail cause they're weak. yes they might be weak but how about the 4000 troops they control would they be weak also?

complete termination is the right word to use

Oh, I see. But that seems a kind of task

ManspaceBarber:

Your contribution please

MONIKERREVEALER:


oyorubaman

the best way to handle these intractable zoogerian problems is for everyone to go his own way!!!

go and fight for your oduduwa republic and stop looking for "one nigeria" to parasitisize on!!!

will you guys die if igbos leave the zoo for una and hausa-fulanis?!!!

UNITY BEGGERS!!!

It hasn't come to this bro. This has always been one of Nigeria problems - shouting without making a known point. Till everybody goes their own way, let's try this and see how it works out. I bet you, if Nigeria works, no one would like to leave again.

Mind you, I don't identify with any tribe. I'm not a Yoruba either. PEACE

J111333:
You have some points but treason is too strong a word to be on the same level with tribalism.
Electricity is one solution to Nigeria's numerous problems, so get it right and several other things will fall in place even crime.

Oh yes bro. Electricity is really important. And can go a long way to solve many problems.


Perhaps, regarding tribalism as treason may not last long, but at least would put enough fear in people and it wouldn't exist again in near future.

How best do you think the issue of tribalism should be solved?


How I wish these points wouldn't just end up as wishful thinking. How I wish much people would view this and someone take a step someday.

I wish mods would push this to front page

tyup:


Nice point of view.....but all this would be useless without a Revolution in Nigeria and all her corrupt leaders are killed

Sure, bro this is a kind of Revolution as its in some way different from the present day system of Government.
Nigeria system of Government has done Nigeria more harm than good.

And of course not until all corrupt leaders are killed. They can as well be jailed. They are already old so they are somewhat powerless in jail

internationalman:

Tribalism regarded as treason

Ohk bro. But how do you think it should be best handled?

internationalman:
Chase your political career in Saudi Arabia or North Korea....

The people will voluntarily place you without election

What points do you disagree with?

cc lefulefu

What do you think bro?

If I were President


1) I WOULDN'T JOKE WITH AREA OF POWER SUPPLY.

Come what may, I would ensure the whole country enjoys uninterrupted electricity. Even if that is the only thing my administration achieve, I would be very much satisfied.

And whenever electricity goes off for no justifiable reason, the minister of power would answer to it or risk being sacked.

Truth is, electricity goes a long way to boost economy. Any nation with constant light has easy access to good economy in all ramifications. In this generation, a country without Steady Power Supply is nothing but gathering of people.

How do you think other smaller African Countries Nigeria used to be better than enjoy good economy today? Steady Power Supply plays major role.

Recently, I was somewhere in an African country and there was light out for some days. Unusual though. You need to see how everywhere looked so doll and lonely. And this is a very busy city. Always busy whenever I come around except day. Light plays major in economic growth.

How I wish a state Governor in Nigeria can ensure 24/7 Power Supply in his state, you would see how people would be trooping to that state, business and work would start booming on without much stress.

If you hair how people from other African Countries say Nigerians in regards to light, you would wish you weren't one. How can you claim you are Giant of Africa. Rich in natural resources but you don't have common electricity.

What is it in Steady Light that Nigerian Government can't offer? How can a government choose generator business to the detriment of her citizens?


Any government that install steady light in Nigeria will never be forgotten in the history of this country. They don't even need to campaign before Nigerians would re-elect them.


2) I WOULD DISSOLVE SOME UNNECESSARY POSITIONS IN THE GOVERNMENT.

Take for instance. Of what use is the House Of Representatives when we already have the House of Senate, ministers appointed by the President on Federal level and commissioners on the state level?

There are so many unnecessary positions that should be dissolved. Many countries only have, the President, Vice President , the parliaments, Regional or County minister (which is the same as Governors in Nigeria) and Districts Chairmen. Not too many positions to drain the country's economy.

3) TRADITIONAL AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS WOULD BE APOLITICAL

These people wouldn't involve themselves in political activities except in areas of prayer for the nation.

For crying out loud, these leaders have so many followers who would always agree with them blindly even when their views are not helpful to national health. So they would better be apolitical and allow the people to decide willingly.


4) EMERGE SOME STATES.

Or better still, return them to regions or county. People that bear same names or speak same language no matter how little their languages are similar would be in same region. They may not like it initially but they would appreciate it as time goes on when each region would try to be ahead of another in terms of economic growth and all that.


5) WHOEVER COMMITS MURDER FACES IRREVERSIBLE DEATH SENTENCE.

Any murder at all. Be it those that lynch on the streets or those who take laws into their hands in whatever miss. As long as they are convicted of murder case. The law takes it place.


6) ANYONE COUGHT IN ACT OF ARMED ROBBERY, OR KIDNAPPING FACES LIFE IN PRISON.

The Law takes it place unapologetically.


7) DON'T MARRY MORE THAN TWO WIVIES

An if you must do, perhaps for religious or traditional reasons. Your work, business and income must be accessed to show you are capable of taking care of them and the children.


8 ) TRIBALISM WOULD BE REGARDED AS ACT OF TREASON

As no one chooses where he or she is born. Whoever engages in tribalism would attract its consequences depending on what he is. Citizens 6 months in prison and office holders 1 year in prison.

Of course, some of these laws would be approved by the Senate or Parliament and pass in the Law.

Together we restore unity and make our country a better place to live. We would be the envy of nations not just Africa but the World.

In my opinion, this is the kind of leader Nigeria needs and we pray he comes someday soon.


Feel free to make your own point please. And if you disagree with me at any point, tell us why.

Let's push this so our leaders can see it and take responsibility.

Wish this could be on front page. It's my opinion though

lefulefu:
the business men who import generators into d country hope u do know the millions of dollars in gain they make from the importation of generator.restoring stable electricity will be at their detriment.

Those ones are real enemies of the state bro.

Fvck their business. Of what use is their business to the detriment of the masses? Let them change their fvcking business. There are hundreds of other businesses out there to invest their money into

tsdarkside:


their is something happening....plants are been built....but power plants are not cheap oooo....

Ohk bro

They should be fast about it. Any government that install steady light will never be forgotten in Nigerian history. We can make our country great. Nigeria worths far more than the way it is today

mmadu5:
madam go and sit down , if nigerian government repairs this country no one will go to ghana . i believe the reason why most of nigerians are in ghana is because of the steady light . make we get light like that for naija

Soooo true bro. Steady light alone will go a long way to solve Nigerians problem. I tell, if Nigeria can have steady light, the economy wouldn't be the way it is today. Steady light has gone a long way to help many smaller countries in Africa. How much more the so called Giant of Africa. A country without steady light in this 21st century is just a gathering of people. If I were a governor in any Nigerian state, I would make sure that come what may, my state enjoys uninterrupted power supply. That alone will make that state to be ahead of others

You can check Romoss on Jumia Ghana I can see Sense 6p there

Ohk bro. Thanks a lot

genius43:


Original Xiaomi Mi 2C powerbank 20000Mah (contact Macbeyland or Ifedith)
Romoss powerbanks

Thanks brother. Would have contacted them. Just that I'm in Ghana and their services don't go beyond the country. Perhaps, I should look for some around here

genius43:


Hope it is not a generic powerbank, do well by posting the make and possibly pictures.

Ohk bro. Haven't bought one yet. Please which one would you recommend?
