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.

Ilaumoh:
Great one blood...
Where are all those rivers state guys...
Dinner is served

Inferiority complex will kill Akwa Ibom people. So you created a thread with rubbish statistics from a rubbish mushroom organization and gleefully started masturbating to nonsense.

Let Akwa Ibom Come and pass Rivers State let us see na. Akwa Ibom will always remain behind Rivers State because they don't have the necessary economic investments required to mount a serious challenge on Rivers. They have now resorted to faking reports and brandishing worthless information all-over the internet to massage their non-existent egos.

Arrant Rubbish!!!

Taye4j:
E go shock you, the loan was obtained in the name of Nigeria. Shebi they can still seize the railway lines in the SW, in the East, your people will be placed on shackles since you have nothing as collateral.

@Membranus et al. I'm not from the East oh. I'm from Rivers. We no enjoy Rail infrastructures, so we no dey owe China anything. Lagos and Ibadan will be forfeited forever to China. Or why will they spend China loans on Lagos and Rivers will now pay?

I don't understand all this outcry. Or is it because Nigerians love to default on their loan obligations.

Pay as at when due and no worries. That clause is very good. Borrower must pay or we forfeit Lagos State to Chinese.

It will be easier for an elephant to enter Keke Napep than for Amaechi to resign.

Moreover, Amaechi made a very nice deal with the Chinese. Amaechi does not intend to default in the payments so he ensured by putting it to paper. That shows a man that is certain of his assurances.

bigpriik:
I have met many Igbos here In lagos I confuse for Akwaibom people based on their looks.i met one lady yesterday I quickly confused her for a calabar girl only for her to later tell me she is igbo from abia .is their any relationship with them..

Big brains is better than big priik.

My Hands are up. I want in.

I swear down, Ikwerre is the most talked about Topic on Nairaland. After Ikwerre is Tinubu.


Well, Ikwerre speak almost same language as Igbo. But Ikwerre isn't Igbo because Ikwerres want a separate identity, and they got it in 1970.

We don't need ShopRite in Port Harcourt. We never did. They should build 2 in Uyo.

That Tropicana should close down after it's first opening speaks volumes about the commercial viability of Uyo.

chino11:
Obaseki has transformed Benin city to Jo'burg. It is important to not that Johannesburg is about the most beautiful and economically viable city in Africa. That's what Gov Obaseki has brought to Edo State.

Ewu. This is how you deceive people in Anambra

Jakumo:
Just have the cash delivered to me in my Corona virus hideout, with immediate effect. In exchange for the money, I will offer very powerful prayers that will enable you to earn far more money that the palm-wine drinking donation you made to me in good faith.

Lolz.

Jakumo:
It is common knowledge that virtually ALL major Nigerian banks are completely infiltrated by criminal gangs who work with the full cooperation of bank staff, to loot customer accounts, and then to frustrate all efforts by the fraud victims, to obtain a refund of the stolen money. To the OP, I
say verily unto thee, that your sister's 200k naira savings has been donated to criminals by GT Bank, and furthermore, that chickens will grow magnificent sets of gleaming white teeth, BEFORE so much as a penny of that stolen money is ever refunded by the bank.

As noted by the OP, avoiding the use of an ATM card or any online banking is NOT going to protect bank customers in Nigeria from the criminals that freely access any and all bank accounts that contain anything worth stealing, regardless of whether or not the account holder attempted to block all electronic banking access to their money.

Just one of the methods of siphoning money from bank customers, is the purchase of PHONE CREDIT by criminals, by fraudulently withdrawing money from bank customers' accounts, at the rate of N500 per minute, until the account is properly drained to the last penny. This cash reallocation modality is generally perpetrated at night, with the objective of stealing all the account contents before daybreak when banks open, and the victim becomes aware of the large cash donation they have made to thieves engaged by the bank.

The solution for banking customers, is to keep their money buried in the forest, using waterproof containers, after carefully marking the spot with a GPS receiver. All banks in Nigeria are owned and operated by criminal gangs, without one single exception, and you can take THAT, to the bank.

How can one become a member of the criminals gangs.

Since I can't keep my money inside waterproof containers and bury it in a forest, best bet is to be part of such gangs, so my money can be safe.

Isn't my idea bankable.

Goodmarlian:
Nwanne it wunt take that long if we strategize well..

Allow me to help you guys arrive at the fastest route to Biafra. This also is more feasible, practical and smooth.

Anambra, Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi. This and only this 5, and you're good to go. Nothing will stand in your way. Focus on just those 5 and see Biafra happen like Magic.

selemempe:
hear ikwere people speak

Why don't you show me Wike.

selemempe:
nobody is coveting. 40% of Niger Delta folks understand that Biafra is a reasonable proposition. The remaining 60% are gradually being bought over with facts

Ikwerre is not Igbo, therefore not part of Biafra. Why then should Port Harcourt be considered for Biafran capital??

Dedetwo:
I shall give Nnamdi Kanu all forms of moral support in pursuit of his dream for Biafra. However, I shall join the foot soldiers in actualization of Republic of Igbo Land. A nation of Igbo must be placed on the world map.

Covetousness is a sin before God and Man.

Bkayyy:
Imagine ordinary ikwerre talking when Ndigbo are talking

I don't understand this your comment. Ikwerre people are building ancestral hall and you are involving Igbo. Wetin concern Igbos with Benin Kingdom??

Ikwerrepikin, Where are they building the centre??

flokii:
As much as I want to refrain from harsh words, truth must be told.. outsiders can't dictate to Yorubas in Yorubaland (South West). I don't know why you lots can't mind your region and face your useless, corrupt leaders keeping your ancestral lands in perpetual poverty.

A Yoruba from Benin Republic has more right in Yorubaland than a shukudi from far away SE.

No be una fault sha.. 'too much familiarity brings contempt'. Na Yorubas give una chance.

You are confusing Yoruba with Hausa/Fulani. Let no other Nigerian ethnic group mistake themselves for Hausa/Fulani. A Hausa man from Mali will give you resounding slap inside Ooni of Ife palace and nothing go happen.

Let a Yorubaman from Benin try rubbish, your fellow Yoruba will explain Nigerian Constitution to him.

Lolz.
