FreeIgbos: Lol, it's either you're a brainwashed kid or an unreasonable and illiterate adult. Do you think that 1967-70 was during the dark ages or something? Igbos whose houses and lands were seized and tagged abandoned properties in P.H can still show you the exact locations they are situated today and also show you videos and pictures of how and when it occurred!
That's called hard facts!!!
Now, can you show me videos or pictures or even documents to back your idiotic tales by moonlight stories of how or when Ojukwu seized aboriginal lands and handed it to Igbos? If it gets to the UN, what evidence do you have to prove?
Do you think that the world or people in the areas now called Nigeria started existing in 1919 or 1960? We are talking of communities that have been in existence since recorded history! There is evidence of the extent of Igboland mapped out since the 18th and 19th centuries!! Maybe you need to be informed that Obigbo, Etche and other Igboid areas of Rivers State are all contigous with Igbo heartland.
It's only Bonny island that is detached and it's aboriginal status questioned but never Obigbo! If you're informed you won't even argue this with me because you have no case.
Using 18th and 19th century map to determine rue extent of Igboland is in itself an aberration because the colonists that drew the map didn't have a clear cut picture of who is and isn't an Igbo.
The processes by which they congregated ethnicities weren't holistic enough but merely cut-and-join, because frankly they weren't in Africa for educational purposes but solely for exploitation. So if they saw in diverse ethnicities any semblance of alikeness, they immediately put them into same bracket.
So if Areas where Ndoki et al appears as Igboland, know it's an aberration. Make no mistakes about it.
How are we sure the OP is Ijaw. Anyone with an agenda can cause disaffection.
But in setting things straight, an 'Ijaw' republic is a disaster waiting to happen. They are not same people. A collective sense of injustice perpetrated against Riverine/swamp dwellers by the Nigeria state is the sole reason for the coming together of a hitherto disunited warring parties.
With Nigeria non-existent, the sense of unity will no longer exist, and initial status quo resumes. Amongst themselves someone will be perceived as cheating another and all hell will let loose like it were in Rivers state of old.
I pray it goes well for them tho. But history is an experienced teacher.
TheGoodJoe: Based on the Constitution put in place by the Military. A fake Constitution. Ikwerre remains one of the Igbo Subgroups in Nigeria whether you or the military like it or not. You cannot use a paper to write off history.
You can't decide for a people who they are. Learn to respect peoples wishes, especially when it doesn't personally affect you.
FrankGenius79: Am a graduate of Business administration and management. I have a 2nd class upper, smart and intelligent. I like traveling and have decided to go for a job that entails traveling. Jobs like a public relations executive, Corporate Business representative, etc..A job that will enable me travel, achieve company objectives, come back and deliver reports, move again to another project. I want to work while doing what I love.
Become a driver na. Freight service will take you places.
FreeIgbos: The more you post rubbish, the more you become confused. Such nonsense happens when you abandon your origin and start discussing issues you're totally ignorant of. The same Ndokis that are also found in Southern parts of Abia State is the people you're referring to? Adolphus Wabara, a former Senate president from Abia State is from where again?
You see how you meddlesome interlopers go about disgracing yourselves?
A place that has always been known as Obigbo for ages with 100% Igbo aborigins is the one you're here involving Ogonis because one abo.ki renamed it Oyigbo after the Biafran war? During same period Igbo communities such as Egbema, Ndoki and Asa were divided into two and some parts put into Rivers State.
Nigerian fulani controlled government did all that to get back at Igbos who they saw as their biggest challenge in enslaving the rest of Nigeria, and these were also the basic reasons why they stopped the teaching of history in our schools with the hope that the truth will eventually be erased. Unfortunately for them, Igbos and Igboland have been in existence centuries before 1919, 1960, or 1970's when they tried all these shenanigans.
FYI and those still acting foolishly, there are lots of reliable documents, some of them written as far back as the 18th and 19th centuries that documented all these. You can search online for some of them instead of coming here to embarrass yourself.
At the end of the day, we all will revisit all these recent idiotic manipulations and correct them appropriately, and woe bitide any fool that will want to stand against it.
Mr. Man don't feign ignorance. Ojukwu planted Ndoki people there during the civil war.
As part of the measures adopted by Ojukwu to supplant Aboriginal people of Rivers state, forceful upheaval from their communities and subsequent transfer into Igbo hinterland was the carried out en masse.
Also genocide was carried out on communities that refused to leave. That was the prime reason for finding Ndoki and some other Ibos in Rivers state. Their natural boundary was Imo river. That they crossed into Rivers state was primarily down to the wickedness of Ojukwu.
Igboid: Ikwerre are playing Rivers people sha. Wike and Amaechi will meet in Ogbakor Ikwerre and laugh together as they plot Ikwerre domination of the state. Then Amaechi will come out in day light and start pretending to care about equity for other minorities, so as not to project Ikwerre as a power grabbing group.
Good old long con game. Kudos to Ogbakor Ikwerre mafia. They are doing well.
They have mastered the art the Fulanis-Hausas have perfected in National politics. They use party politics to confuse other Rivers people while they position themselves as leaders of both two main parties. Look how Seikibo(PDP) was chanced by Uchendu (APC) in the Senate while Wike was grinning and Amaechi is pretending to care about Riverine people.
In all fairness, your fixation with Ikwerres and Rivers state is troubling.
Like none of us Ikwerres or Riverians gives a fuqc about Anambra.
TheGoodJoe: Ikwerre is just a clan. Just like the Nkwerre's in Imo State and Nnewi in Anambra. Being an Nkwerre or Nnewi man does not mean they are not Igbo
How can Ikwerre be a clan, when Ikwerre has over 10clans.
Where is beautiful in PH city, Eleme, Mile 1,2,3, or 4, Borokiri, illaboushi, Abuja, Abuloma, GRA littered with clubs and bars, or is it, Or the same length and breath of Aba road me and you know? Oh! Trans Amadi is beautiful place you talking about or town? I beg.... Where is serenity in PH...? Where is beauty?
If you said 30 years ago, I wont argue with you. Goats have ate the garden in Port Harcourt
FakeUnity: More pains to your ignorant musleem abokey skull...
People still call it Obigbo as you know, and the natives are Igbo speakers. Ogoni people migrated from Ghana about 4 centuries ago. Go there and ask the eldest truthful man in Ogoni, he will tell you this fact.
Everyone in Rivers state knows that Ogonis have no related ethnic group in the whole of Nigeria, no one shares anything in common with them either by language or culture.
Kinematics: Every city has its merits and demerits...
As per natural beauty Uyo takes the crown. As per man made beauty PH takes the crown.
Both cities are beautiful in their own way. Uyo is an upcoming city with relatively new developments that are yet to face the test of time unlike what has already been on ground in PH.
In all it depends on what you are looking for. Is it natural beauty, serenity and peace? Think Uyo, but in everything else that makes a city a city then think PH.
It's just like comparing Lagos and Abuja. Thats my 10 kobo on this matter..
You are even dignifying them with an unnecessary comparison. Uyo is not on same level as PH. Uyo is not and can never be more beautiful than PH.
RuudVanNisteroy: Wike is no saint but what he said about Amaechi is backed up with bank statements from Access Bank. Read the full report of judicial panel.
mocey: nobody cares about what you want,we are saying dont try and block our freedom like you did in 1967,watch the video,2 tribes i cant live with from the south,ikewerre and ijaws,i can forgive but i wont forget what you did and it is igbo not ibo,we leave you and ijaws to fight like you are doing in rivers state.lol
I never knew Ikwerres and Ijaws are fighting in Rivers state. Please where is the fighting arena??
Nobody (by which u mean ibos) cares what Ikwerre or Ijaw or Ibibio wants. Lolz. I put it to you that Igbos have all the care in the world. Igbos are seriously bothered that like 1967, Biafra yet again remains an all Igbo affair. Infact what is worse now is the fact that ethnicities they had almost absolute control of in 1967, can effectively ensure they are chained and padlocked and it leaves a nightmarish feel whenever they contemplate such a situation. So they resort to unity begging. And as it does not seem to work, they have resorted to sowing discords among the SS ethnicities hoping that our diversity would easily become a tool in their hands.
But Ibos should remember that nothing unites Nigeria as quickly and effectively as Igbo hating, simply because Ibos are people naturally disposed to being hated bacause of their patethic lifestyle. Be guided.
mocey: lol..thoh come and see,i think say ikwerre and ijaw na brothers?wetin ikwerre go do now because we dont want ikwere in biafra,would ikwerre join edo state or stay with fulanis or even join ijaw?
Did I mention Biafra to you. Or maybe you have issues with you eyes. I said Ijaws cannot decide for Ikwerres, same way they can't decide for Ogoni or Bini or Urhobo.
PANDEF is not know to Ikwerres. Ikwerres only Identify with Ogbakor Ikwerre. That is the organisation that can determine our collective direction.
If you quote me beyond this, then you have to explain what you mean.
RZArecta: when I say the average APC zombie is an îmbecile, dem go say I too dey abuse person. Are we talking about performance or blatant acts of corruption by your lord and saviour Chibuike Amaechi, the lizard of Ubima ? Use the akamu between your ears properly so you don't disgrace your parents in public. Happy Sunday
Amaechi was not and is not corrupt. You can petition EFCC if you think otherwise.
And all thru Alamieyeseigha was alive (though He's faking his death) you did not see fit to describe him as being corrupt.
RuudVanNisteroy: He paid millions of naira in River state and was in the highest tax bracket at the twilight of his 30 year career. So, I will always have a say in the state.
Proof of claims. Let is see his tax clearance certificates.
I put it to you that both you and your dad have never set foot in Port Harcourt in your lives.
