DON FASZY: Hop it didn't affect diana hotel n exit hotel

It did, the good thing is that it clears up like 1hr after the rain.

Mekky2010: Its Umuigbo and NOT Rumuigbo, time to stop/correct all these unnecessary misspellings in PH..

E be like U don forget say na when civil war end 1971 wey Ikwerres reclaim their land from Michael Okpara and his railway crew wey nearly hijack PH.

Thanks to Senate President, David Mark wey help Ikwerres reclaim their properties at the end of the war.

For the records, their's Rumueme, Rumuepirikom, Rumuokwuta, Rumuigbo, Rumuokoro, Rumuodara, Rumukwurusi, Rumuogba, Rumuobiakani, Rumuomasi, Rumuola, etc as towns in and around Port Harcourt...if the "R" is missing, guy Ikwerres go reject am because you don turn am to Igbo name...

Go ask Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi (an Ikwerre Man) or Nyesom Wike (also an Ikwerre man) or betterstill, Tonto Dike (an Ikwerre girl from Aluu) make dem explain better to you

Mekky2010: Its Umuigbo and NOT Rumuigbo, time to stop/correct all these unnecessary misspellings in PH..

But the war has ended na, all the former "sabos" represented by Alhaji Dokubo is now openly confessing that being sabo was an error,,,it will only be wise to return to the old and the right ways of pronouncing and writing words in the old Eastern Nigeria....or do u want to wait another 40 yrs to rediscover you ve been making mistakes??

viruz007:

It doesn't matter what one calls it, The in thing here is the flood disaster in Port Harcourt. It has to be checked.
It doesnt matter here also:
Enugu. Enugwu, Owerre Owerri, ogwashi ukwu ogwashi uku etc

@ mekky2010. The correct pronounciation is RUMUIGBO & not Umuigbo as you are trying to correct. That's my area

chris51: @ mekky2010. The correct pronounciation is RUMUIGBO & not Umuigbo as you are trying to correct. That's my area

Those who grew up in that area when it was called Umuigbo will continue to call it Umuigbo. It is just as my uncle calls the old Bendel (now Edo/Delta) Mid west till date.
Now, lets seek for ways to tackle this ugly scourge not pronunciation.

Reyspin: You call this flood..Come lagos you go see Dam... Dolphin Estate to be precise... Nigerians wake up these people are taking you for granted!!! Them demolish houses buh dem no fit solve d problem...

^^^At bolded: was that how it got its name? I would imagine one could swim with Dolphins after a heavy downpour, and by now it must be some kind of tourist attraction......kinda like Water-world in Florida.

There re worst places than this...xo i dnt knw what ur talkn abt. *no big deal*

DON FASZY: Hop it didn't affect diana hotel n exit hotel

^^^Don-Faszy, is that where you go to 'catch your fun' when you're in Port Harcourt? For a 'visitor' your knowledge of the Hotels in the area is impressive!

See better flood for my area. pdp,ACN,apc,etc,they are all d same.its all about money in their pockets.Besides,this is Lasgidi o

guy1234: See better flood for my area. pdp,ACN,apc,etc,they are all d same.its all about money in their pockets.Besides,this is Lasgidi o

It's actually similar, just that your own water is more muddy.

GeJ79: Wetin new for the one. Come my area n then you go delete your video.

Mehn ur comment remind me of the past in our area before Gov FASHOLA construct the road ....before then bro u tink go delete ur comment/video/picture...cos ours then was red sea bro like a tsunami looooOooolz

Lol...my hood has gone international! It made the front page on nairaland. Dis calls 4 a celebration.

what's wrong with this igbo dudes?for petes sake you should be ashamed of always poking your nose in the affairs of the ikwerre people,we are ikwerre and we have our dialect,we pronounce according to our tongue,u can't force us to speak like u

Amaechi what are you doing.

bad meat: what's wrong with this igbo dudes?for petes sake you should be ashamed of always poking your nose in the affairs of the ikwerre people,we are ikwerre and we have our dialect,we pronounce according to our tongue,u can't force us to speak like u

U're just atribalistic FOUOL who has no been exposed/left d shores of phc. In Shell est in Sattelite town Lagos, d streets still bear d old names of Umukurishi,umu dis& dat. Ok MR Ikwere high chief, wats is d meaning of Rumuigbo, or Rumokoro? Dats Y d hausa will always be smarter dan southerners. Tho dey hav fulani, Hausa, kanuri etc, dey still group demselves as hausa. Mtscheew small brains wit minute tinkin.

u see eh datz y an alliance between the Ikwerre and Igbo won't see the light of the day. why are the Igbos tryn so hard to 'colonize' the minority Ikwerre? during the civil war it was documented that the igbos forced the Ikwerres to speak the igbo dialect as a replacement for the Ikwerre language..... we will not succumb!!!! leave us to speak our dialect, though similar but still unique thanks to the tower of babel! laha na azu. Ikwerre bu otu! Ikwerre Meka OOOOOO!!!!!!

Its funny how sometimes people make comments without prior knowledge of issues. Its like seeing people from Ngwa bearing Iheoma or Homa and asking them to revert it to Ifeoma which is the most common version of same name. We should learn to respect each other or we end up creating unnecessary enmity. Some Ikwerres use "Umu"/"Omu" but not Obio/Akpo and Port Harcourt.

[b][/b]Rt. Hon. R. Amaechi is trying in term of road construction and rehabilitation in the Garden City but some areas are still to be touched such as:

Rivon Clinic-Genesis-Estate-Old Aba Road Ring Road.

There are terrible potholes and drainage channels are in terrible shape.

But let the people give the Governor peace of mind to re-dedicate himself to the service of the people.
Gov. Amaechi you're please invited to run these areas of Rumuogba Estate on your power bike.

God bless the people of Rivers State and our Governor![b]Rt. Hon. R. Amaechi is trying in term of road construction and rehabilitation in the Garden City but some areas are still to be touched such as:

Don't be silly lil boy. You are just wasting your time correcting people here. Serious minded people up there don't care about this nonsense you are spilling here.
Can you tell a motorist in Port Harcourt that you want to go to Umuigbo and then he turns up and say that the place doesn't exist. You will still get to your destination just like a man going to Onicha will still get to his destination despite the fact it is spelt as Onitsha.

Shut the hell up and quit chatting nonsense here. What idiotic alliance are you talking about, who cares?.
Why only Ikwerres, why didn't Igbo people force Efiks, Ogonis, Ibibios, Okkrikans etc who dwell in the old east to speak Igbo?.
Stop the crap, enough is enough.

Is this flood? Abegi! Come calabar come see flood weh happen after tht rainfall arnd 8miles highway. The cars were totally submerged in water, u sef weh deh inside motor, water go touch ur leg. Are u a learner?
