Edo state no get oil, yet they sited NPDC head quarters there. What happened to Rivers or Bayelsa. Bayelsa has history as the first oil producing state in Nigeria. Port Harcourt is Nigeria's oil capital. It's Unfair.



Modified: So because of ordinary 33,000 barrels of crude oil is the reason everyone in Edo state is invading my mention.

Some states produces 500,000 barrels per day if una no know. ; D

Darkseid:
Nigerian universities still dey teach FORTRAN till today, and you'll wonder why the country is still stagnant.

Maybe for historical purposes. Though long obsolete, That language is like the foundation of computing.

IkwerrePikin:
How many igbo people get voters card for PH and how many of dem dey vote?

Dem plenty oh. Leave this Nairaland quarrel, an Igboman any day is favourably disposed to seeing an Ikwerreman as Governor of Rivers. They prefer it to say Kalabari and Ogoni. The fact we bear Similar names is enough for them.

An elderly Igboman told me during last electoral campaigns that what Igbos saw in the hands of Ijaws like Okilo et al, that Ikwerre man as governor is as good as his brother ruling.


Im not a member of any political party, I was only criticising Wike and he called me aside and told me to stop. Better Wike in there to him than the best Kalabari man. That should mean something to you.

Osagyefo98:
Ikwerre and Igbophobia.

But naturally Igbos should take a little blame to this. It is even conducive doing business in Ghana, Liberia and outside world than hostile environment in that axis...

We shouldn't be discussing these issues on days like this...

I don't think it has anything to do with Igbophobia but urban renewal.

Ikwerres reserves the right to develop PH how they see fit.


Afam4eva, you said something about Rivers being cosmopolitan. What do you have to say to this.

Fortran. For Year 1. Like 15 yrs ago.

Ojiofor:
What are you waiting for before you get started?
You import goods with money not with envy,hatred and jealousy.
And let me quickly remind you that nobody is going to displace Igbos in PH city.

Ikwerres can dislodge Igbos conveniently in PH. But in ernest, it is not in our best interest to make Igbos feel unloved, much more dislodged them. Na Igbos be our biggest political supporters na.

How we want take dey sweep Rivers elections if not Igbos.

I think Wike will provide another location. My mind tell me Wike wants to buy those buildings in the name of urban renewal, seeing that road is contiguous with Olu Obasanjo road.

I tire for Wike matter. Tho taskforce has made PH easy, the members na something else.

Osagyefo98:
Lol. Seriously...
So they are now my brothers and sisters?
You no be by brother abi

I am from Ikwerre, you are from Igbo.. We are friends. .

Igboid:
I have never reported anyone since I have been on NL.

Then that Ethiopian snitch called Meles Zenawi is the one who reported. Instead of him to insult me back and life goes on. He went to report. All these sissy men on NL.


I heard they've given Ikoku people quit notice. You now have a good foundation to lay your Ikwerrephobia on. Good luck to you.

Ojiofor:
You will travel down to Aba to get your car spare parts no problem.

Calm down, it's not like the parts are being manufactured in Aba. They are imported from China. Anyone can import from China and sell them in PH. It is not rocket science. This is basic buying and selling 101.

So if there exists a vacuum, naturally another will provide the services.

If you know the number of cars in PH, then you know anyone who fills the vacuum created by the dislodged Igbos will hit a gold mine.

Wow..

Pls let's not turn this to Ikwerre Vs Igbo. I think we should hear the reason the landlords gave before making conclusions.

Thanks.

IPOB love Wike, so I see everyone being okay with this development.

Osagyefo98:
I am not aware of your predicament though your ban doesn't sound suprising to me.

No be small predicament. Na your sister Amarabae instigate me. Then your brothers meleszenawi and Igboid report me wen I gave it back to her hot. No worry, I go give them their own ban for this Nairaland.

But I like you, you are a good Ghanaian.

Osagyefo98:
Each time you returned you fond of throwing tantrums. So I am your boy now?

So you know I've been serving 14days ban. To think of it, how would you know. Did you have a hand in it??

Osagyefo98:
There is no basis to justify your drift, go and re-write that thing.


if someone indigenous to a state makes it cosmopolitan then no need for others to join as the meaning of the word has been rendered useless.

Osagyefo my boy, you go school. When I saw the initial thread that made FP, I was expecting it to consist of States filled with foreigners not just Nigerians but i saw something else.

Nigerians have their own way of doing their thing Sha.

Cosmopolitan all day long refers to the foreigners mix in a state or city and the ability for those foreigners to feel comfortable living in a particular place like it's their home. Given such criteria, I can't really list any Nigerian state or city.

Pacesetter123:
Have u ever visited Ibaka in Mbo L.G.A before? Ghanaians made about 30% of de entire population.Have bin to Oron before to see Camerounian population dere? Wot about Ikot Abasi,Ibeno and Eastern Obolo? Or u only know livestock market in "Nasarawa"?

See as this one is arriving at population figures like he conducted census recently. Keep deceiving yourself.

aljharem:
First of all, I am old nairalander and you can check my previous post. I have always been anti Tinubu.

Before I continue, I want to make it clear that this is purely my opinion and I will like a good discussion if you are against this opinion.

Since the fourth republic in 1999 (some of you were not born), we can count the number of governors, senators even presidents that have mentored LEADERS. I will not mention names here but you all know what I am talking about.

Not only mentor leaders but also have a plan (road map) in an administration. Currently, the country is in a complete mess !!!! ASUU etc are on strike and even worse this new payment platform of IPPIS which effectively cripple the university system.

This is just one of many.

Over to you.

God has the final say

After Smoking Oshogbo weed. the next thing is to take a pen and start writing under the influence.

Tinubu should go and sit down!!!

Hopebringer:
Wow this is amazing

I guess imo state government learned from the mistakes of other oil states and kept militants and kidnappers away from their state .

Those guys ruined Rivers state, so as long as Imo state can continue to keep the expatriates in their state safe ,the GDP will continue to rise

Congratulations to them

How is Rivers State ruined??

Akwa Ibom will not build refinery but toothpick plant.

MelesZenawi:
Has it reached to this extent of name calling and verbal attacks??

Meles Zenawi died since 2012.

Igboid:
Nolu jii! Amarachi bu ezinne and Ada Igbo.

Her opinions matters.

Every single Igbo should be angry about how Ikwerre has oppressed Asa and Ndoki in Rivers because the people will not drop their Igbo tag.

You lots are evil and Igbos are only startingto zero in on you. We will treat your Bleep up very well.

We are cooking something special for you lots, when we are done, you will never finish the food.

if you like cook Ofe Nsala for us. no shaking. Ikwerre gallant. No be Rivers State again? We have the state by the cruff. I dey pity Oyigbo people, na Dem go bear the brunt. Make I see wetin Anambra man or any SE Igbo wan do for Rivers. Na Ikwerre dey give una level for Rivers because of similarities. But we may have to reconsider some privileges given to Igbos.

Igboid:
Hating them back will make them keep their hate in check knowing that we can also hurt them without any blink and that we don't consider them kins and therefore will never hesitate in dealing with their excesses.
It keeps everyone in check and good for peace.

Ikwerres are not Igbos. Believe me, I have lived with and studied these people. Everything about Ikwerre except their language, names and traditional institutions, scream non Igbo.

Ikwerre independence from Ndiigbo MUST be supported and reinforced by Igbo nationalists to keep the Igbo safe from the hate emanating from those people.

The threads upon threads to wail about Ikwerres is on perpetual mode.

Ikwerre don't care about Igbo brotherhood. We no send una. If you don't like our Igbophobia, kindly cross boundary back to wherever you came from

OriakuAmara:
my happiness is that your fathers were under identity crisis, you the sons are still under it and your coming generation will still be under it,
looks like a generational curse.
its a pity.

Akunakuna Amarachi, stop crying over Ikwerre identity. We can come from Fulani. e no concern you. stop wailing.

OriakuAmara:
sorry you are talking to Oriaku Amara, go through my account and know me very well

Look at this Mgbeke. Abeg go and park well. Who you.

Amarabae:
Oriaku Amara wishes you all a happy new month.
I want to inform everyone here about the truthful origin and genesis of the Ikwerre identity crisis,
It didn't start because of the war, No rather it started from slave trade .
Ikwerre elders know this truth,
during the Aro Confederacy between the Arochukwus,Okrikas, and Ibibios , it was built on Slave trade and other products export,
it was a successful partnership that saw a lot of products coming in and going out through okrika waterways, no wonder Igbos call imported reused cloths "Okrika" to point to where it was imported through back in those days,
so the Aros captured a lot of innocent people
in the Ibo hinterlands and sold them through Okrika waterways , when the British banished slave trade ,they sent a task force to go and arrest those slave traders and free the slaves in cage waiting to be sold,
they came and arrested some Aro chiefs including some okrika chiefs who engaged in that evil trade and free those slaves in slavecamps waiting to be sold, since they can't remember where they came from ,they settled in etche forests and some okrika territories, those people are the IKWERRES,
they were later populated by etche, Ngwa, ngor okpuala migrants,
That is the origin why they started hating people from the Igbo hinterland where Aros came from for trying to sell them,
now when the British established port Harcourt for exportation of Enugu coal through rail , the Igbos from hinterlands populated the town which is 80% on Ikwerre land, the hinterland migrants were prospering and having Influence, the ikwerres hated it especially because or these descendants of people who sold some of their people to slave trade , the only way to revenge and take hold of port Harcourt is to deny being Igbo and hate anybody from the hinterland, the civil war gave them the perfect opportunity to implement it,
If you read Elechi Amadi works, he once cited that he has no problem with all Igbos or accepting being Igbo but He has an issue with Aros.
why? He knows the real truth,
The Akalaka and Benin forged migration story is used to beef up their battered self esteem , there is no atom of truth in it.
since 1967 The ikwerres have been fighting the truth till date yet they have not succeeded in burying the truth because nothing can defeat the truth.
This is the real origin of this whole identity brouhaha, Ask any very elderly Okrika man, he will confirm what I just wrote.
Dear Ikwerres, you are free to be whatever you want but You can NEVER be a distinct ethnic nation with Igboid identity, NEVER, drop it and go create your own, Simple.
I am not claiming you guys beside it is your son Rotimi Amaechi that goes about claiming being Igbo .
history is history, even the Ogonis and Ijaws know ur real history.

Oriaku Amara loves you all.

See Pain written all over your write-up. Chaii, Ikwerre don really break this one heart and soul. Eyah Pele.

Amarabae:
Ikwerres origin is from slave trade, they are descendants of slaves the Arochukwus captured from Ibo hinterlands and sold through okrika waterways,
when slave trade ended, some of them who were waiting to be sold were released and they settled in their present location only to be populated by migrants from etche, ngwa etc
that's the origin of the hatred against Igbos in the hinterland.
ikwerre elders know this history

Lolz. Pitiable Whöre. You have manufactured rubbish from your smelly anus. Stvpid Asa Harlot, Ikwerre is not the reason for your bad roads in Obigbo, neither are we responsible for your political sidelining. You can cross the Imo River back into Abia state, We don't care.

@Righteousness89, Keep Calm. Jehovah's witnesses have said there is no hell fire. We are satisfied with that information.

Yujin:
@Igboid, did you even notice that the thread has no verifiable source? Even at that, how can an unknown person who's obviously not Ikwerre warn Amaechi about his claim of ancestry? That's madness.

Are you close to Nnamdi Kanu. If you are, pls tell him to stop brainwashing illiterate Igbos. One Igbo boy from Nkwerre has refused to renew his driver's license, refused to apply for National ID and has broken his voters card some years back. Recently, he needed to submit a very important form with a means of Identification and he couldn't. I really felt for him. Nnamdi Kanu made him miss a big opportunity. Same Nnamdi Kanu is chilling overseas. It's a shame.

Petty things like this is what Akwa Ibom should stick to doing. Fits her perfectly.
