Eze Promoe:
If you've ever read about PH not to talk of being there, you'll know that PH was extended into local governments such as Okirika, Eleme and Obio/Akpor.
The main Port Harcourt City Local Government Area is an all Ikwerreland.
Ikwerreland comprises of four local governments; Ikwerre, Emohua, Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt Local government areas.

Again grin grin
Demdem:

Even from this analysis of urs which is even debatable, it obvious to all discerning minds that ph isn't igboland like u claimed earlier. grin Don't need to visit, I live there.

Goon, as if i know u will get offensive soon. its normal for ur kind grin grin
Obigbo isnt inside port harcourt city perse, but its generally acceptable to the people on ground that its inside PortHarcourt itself. Of cos i expect u to have issues with that also grin grin
I think I've said very much. I hate repeating words.

O yes u have corrected ur fallacy by ur own analysis no doubt that ph is surely and solely not igboland. Am ok with that. grin

I won't join u inside ur tribal playground no doubt. Surely, that wasn't my qoute. This shows desperation on ur part. That of ph I know very well and will allow those that knows about lagos discuss that with u.
At least we have been able to agree that though many igbos are in PH, it doesn't mean that ph is igboland. grin

I'm too busy now to start educating junkerheads, so I would rather advice you to leave your house dustbin in Lagos/Ibadan and travel out.
You can't continue with NL all the days of your life.


Junkerhead No.1, am sorry to inform you that i have no wish or desire to visit anywhere in the country

where you guys congregate. I fear for my life plus am perfectly content with my lot in my papa's land.

na,they are yoruba land

You dey mind am. I don't get why some specific region like coming on the Internet to tell people who the f2k they are and trying to speak for all just to bring division. Ewu Gambia. Abeg Ezepromoe, highlight, bold and capitalize Asaba. If they got a problem with Asaba being Igbo, then they can come to the city and snatch our ancestry from us. We don dey wait. Don't stay on foreign website trying to cause wahalla for us. I cant speak for river igbo, policewoman can do that for own people but for asaba, Bold am well well for me. Dalu.

I live in Ph, I will tell you that the main Ph is 50% ikwerre, 45% ijaw, 5% ogoni, the expansion of Ph is even into more ikwerre lands, so main Ph is not purely ikwerre land as you claim. Again it is Igbos outside rivers state(owerri, aba) that call ikwerre people Igbos, an ikwerre man himself will tell you he is not igbo, just as an asaba man wil tell you he is aniocha not Igbo, I don't know why Igbo want to force their tribe on other people. If you doubt I can tell you the history of ikwerre and delta people

asaba is actually Igbo(in a way) as for ph, ikwerre resembles Igbo but they are a tribe of their own not a dialect of Igbo. I'm nt trying to bring division, I'm from Niger delta and I can say we are far closer to Igbos than Yorubas and hausas, however telling some minor tribes they are Igbo may insinuate that their tribe is inferior

Unlike other regions in the country that have atleast 3 to 4 states developed. Even the poor north is more developed than the south-west. South-west only has LAGOS as the only developed state. Why is it like that? I need answers and not insults!

If you're talking about development, we have;
Enugu
Onitsha
Owerri
Aba
Asaba
Port Harcourt


if you're talking of infrastructures then look at the bolded. Virtually every state in Igboland is special for something. It's only in Igboland that you find many other important city outside the capital city;
Warri is an important city outside the capital (Asaba) in Delta state.

It is evident you have never visited other Southwest states, otherwise you would not have posted this thread.

[size=20pt]There is no doubt that the South-East is among the least developed areas of the country – if not the very least – in terms of infrastructure, which is worsened by the virtual absence of federal projects in the region. This is one reason the Igbos of the South-East are scattered in all parts of Nigeria and the world where they contribute immeasurably to development, while their home region remains a backwater[/size]

grin grin grin grin grin kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss

There are very few federal roads/ project in the SW. They are barely visible.

Southwesterners takes responsibility for their own infrastructural development. We don't wait for FG to do anything for us.

We had always wanted to build Lagos/Ibadan metroline and expressway by ourselves, but denied by the anti-Yoruba Obasanjo administration.

This explains why we don't cry marginalisation. We love to take our own destiny in our own hands, not leave it for others.

You also now know why we didn't vote PDP. They were always standing in the way of our progress. Always denying us the permission to use federal right of ways to get things done, even when they had no plan to do them for us.
