MelesZenawi:



You are talking trash.

Ikwerre is a recognised ethnic group in Nigeria, same as Igbo and not as a sub group to any...

So what are you arguing?

moreover Wike said Ikwerre ethnic nationality...


Bunch of classless argument.

....and Amaechi says he is Igbo!
Who is telling lies amongst both men?
Or are both wrong?

That's not the topic being discussed but the nepotic actions of the Governor which many people will not condemn but will be the first to condemn Buhari at the National level (including this same Governor).

Randy100:
Ikwere people speaks Igbo. It is safe to call it Ikwere Igbo just like Ebonyi, Nsukka and Anambra Igbo are different.

Ezemust:
I would'nt be surprice if meleszenawi is yoruba

He is a Yoruba man , you don’t know before. He is a pained child of hate for anything concerning Igbos.

He have more than 10 accounts that he uses. In this account he is claiming we Niger Delta.

MelesZenawi:


Your truth get K-leg

They must sneak In by any means possible.

Ndi ala ndi ala.

My argument is based on facts not sentiments.

If Ikwerre is not a registered ethnic group in Nigeria. I would have agree with u guys.

Are you trying to use Wike action to justify Buhari north favouritism and Nepotism?

Nepotism, whether committed by Buhari or Wike is bad and people should condemn it with the same seriousness.

Unfortunately, Nigerians are selective in their anger and amnesia.

Randy100:

Let's not do the same thing we accuse Buhari of doing. An egalitarian government carries everyone along.

can u be spesific?

DateMynd44:
so why are they always irritated when I call them igbos?

The fact is, their language is a dialect of Igbo. When they speak, other Igbo understand them very well. The question of whether they are Igbo or not is a different thing entirely.

look at the map of igboland. See how nothing separates Ikwere from the larger Igbo nation.

How on earth is it reasonable to insinuate they are not Igbos. DNA test shows they are a match with the other Igbos... what else do people want

gidgiddy:


It depends on the Ikwerre you meet. Some Ikwerres claim not to be Igbos, others claim to be Igbos. Famous Ikwerre novelist, Elechi Amadi, always claimed not to be Igbo. Former Governor Chibuike Amaechi cane out on national Tv to tell everyone that he is Igbo despite being an Ikwerre man.

But no matter the Ikwerre you meet, their language is Igbo and they all have Igbo surnames

see what this ikwere man has to say

So Ikwerre should also be ogoni because nothing separated them and ogoni also should be Ibo. Why can't ibos respect other people and their rights to their choice?

MelesZenawi:


Ipob what?....what nonsense

What is it everyone that observed such trash. It is at ur own will and not a necessity. Try and come with something strong.

Moreover I don't argue with anything IPOB, they are miscreants, animals and fools. They constitute danger to the society and must be decimated anywhere they are seen.


In short term...Ipob wu ndi ala ndi ala.

Edo boy shut up..what do you know? You didn't understand what he said because you're not Igbo

greenmonk:

does ikwere and ogonis share a language and DNA?

Choice? You can't choose your ethnicity...it's one of those things that you can't choose. You can't choose your gender. You can't choose your race.

It's part of your genome. Gosh

Why don't you choose to be Swedish?

PHijo, allow me to indulge you abit. When Bayelsa was to be created, the FG said it was a state for Ijaws living in then Rivers State. They asked everyone who considers themself Ijaw to Indicate so as to be included in the new state of Bayelsa. All those who are Ijaws identified themselves and became included in Bayelsa.

We are surprised to find out after many years that there are still Ijaws left in Rivers. Well, we have an information for you. Ijaw cannot Rule Rivers again. Post all you want to post, no way Jose. Not anymore. Ijaw own Bayelsa, Ikwerre own Rivers.

Go to IYC meeting and show them this post.

You MUST be out of your mind!
None of you is God, as Ijaw people we are children of God. No scheme against us has ever worked because we relate with others with openness, fairness and purity.

I won't go to IYC or any other meeting to show this post, I have shown it to God almighty. Being a just God, God will prove himself in Rivers state in particular and Nigeria at large. It will be sooner than many of you think.

Ikwerre own NOTHING! Not even the land they find themselves on. We know who our neighbours are and were. We know where some of these recent groups migrated from and when.

Rivers state was created by the armed agitation of an Ijaw man from present day Bayelsa.

The Ijaw struggle is bigger than a few administrative outposts created by a feudal state called Nigeria.

Feudal state called Nigeria? Same Nigeria that u ijaws have fed fat upon ? Or the same old story of a Nigeria that has marginalised u ?

U mean the Nigeria that gave u all u ever needed in the public service and private sector. U have been oil ministers, nnpc gmds etc all sorts of things that even majorities dont readily get. Same Nigeria that allowed u perpetuate ur rule in old Rivers state? Given ur chiefs oil blocks, party chairmanship ?? Amnesty? Five year profligate presidency ? Lol Nigeria is now bad ?

What are u involving God for? Respect God pls.
See u guys made a serious miscalculation with Bayelsa. On what grounds would u win OBALGA and PHALGA and become governors? Is it by insulting same Ikwerres u would ostensibly need for such results.... Ikwerre dont own the land but u have British era documents that show that even much of what Okrika claims in PHALGA and got with Okilo and Ada George era support was recognized as Ikwerre.

Not just Ikwerre but the Upland is in control of Rivers. Learn to play ball or what happened in 2015 to u guys nationally will happen again and again in Rivers... u need something but can never play the emotional game of stooping for it. Rather u want yo intimidate and threaten etc.

Ikwerre stooped for Odili and he saw the equation and empowered them lol.

If u want to win Rivers, 20k votes in ur LGAs will not save u.. u need 500 to 700k in OBALGA. 150k plus in PHALGA.. I dont need to tell u who controls that. If u like talk about 'recent migrants' as u put it etc... election come and ur eye go still clear.

Apply to join Yenagoa and see if u fit into Dickson's "core Ijaw". Or na feri-feri u dey with our former President Jonathan... lol.

Too much emotion too little tact.. that's the problem with Rivers Ijaws...

Pls be guided in your claims. Ijaws are the ones who actually own no land in Rivers. They are just Riverine people who migrated from Bayelsa and settled in PH. There is no need to debate this. Infact lemme stop using Ijaw, Replace Ijaw with Okrika. They have fought with Andoni, Ogoni, Eleme, Ikwerre, Kalabari over land. From that small football-pitch sized okrika island, they want to expand exponentially to almost everywhere in Rivers.

Pls

It is Ijaw people who don't know themselves that will buy those nonsense papers some you call gubernatorial nomination forms.

Point of correction, Nigeria gave Ijaw people NOTHING!
Rather Nigeria got almost everything from Ijaw people.

As you want to speak on behalf of non-Ijaw Rivers citizens or residents. You and those you speak for are as useless as the word useless. Ijaw people fought for Rivers state. Elechi Amadi begged for you to be part of the state.

The fight was for 3 homogeneous Ijaw states.
We should have 2 homogeneous states by now if we did not consider Elechi Amadi's request.

Nigeria would have been a better place if you tag alongs were placed in now defunct Southeastern state.

Any Ijaw man that begs an Ikwerre man for anything is an Ijaw man that has lost touch with roots.

Go through the history of Nigeria, no struggle has succeeded without active participation of the Ijaws.

We can't beg scavengers that know how to feed off the the leftovers of other people's struggles. We know of Ken Saro-Wiwa and MOSOP. We know of Adaka Boro and his volunteers. We know of the Supreme Egbesu Assembly, MEND and many other groups.

Which Ikwerre man has ever led a movement to liberate people from oppression?

If not anything, coronavirus should show how useless Nigeria is and it call tell you why neither Jonathan nor the armed agitators showed any keen interest to keep him in office. Ijaw people have never been eager to govern that garbage called Rivers state. Most of the people that can fix that state are not encouraged by the kind of street urchins they are supposed to contest against. The day the Ijaw man decides to be governor no force living or dead can stop him.

OBALGA and PHLGA are not homogeneous Ikwerre LGAs. So your assumption is wrong.

Since 2003 till date Rivers state gubernatorial elections have NEVER been decided by the electorate.

We called God and got Rivers state and you tagged along. That same God who answered then still answers prayers.

To show how ignorant you are, except for Ogoni, Eleme and Ikwerre the rest are Ijaw clans.

For your information, Okrika is not a football field. What you don't know is bigger than you.

No wahala everybody tagged along... Yes Harold Dappa Biriye is a father of ND consciousness. Isaac Boro was the first freedom fighter... However, this is all akin to bragging about ancient Rome and Greece to elevate the position of Italy and the Greece in today's world.

Nigeria has given you a lot. Do not get it twisted. Positions in govt, private sector openings etc. Your mouth comes from the money you have made in Nigeria. From the generosity of the different regimes and administrations. Nigeria even let you rule lol. 2009-2011 was dedicated to you guys...The show was all yours.

Chief Biriye cannot do anything for you now, he was a man. Elechi Amadi begged eh ? No problem... Same way Obi Wali could never win elections back then.. but ofc this is all history. In ur faces Odili Amaechi Omehia and Wike have a ll ruled back to back....

OBALGA and PHALGA do not have to be homogeneously Ikwerre.. Nigeria isn't a developed country.. the makeup of an area has nothing to do with who controls it. That's like saying because lagos is cosmopolitan u would decide their leaders for them ? From today till the future where other groups even surpass Yoruba there, it'll still be the natives that would organize the flow of things on election day.

Do you go outside and drag with Rumu boys at their polling units with random ppl.. Can someone come and drag ur 20k votes with u in ur Kalabari or wherever land you're from... Ikwerres play their own areas and that's it... btw to give u expo.. the only group whose support is enough to tip the balance is actually the Igbo residents.. But since u also vilify that group, I do not expect them to support you for anything.. and do honest votes even count in Rivers state?

You saw what yeye Wike did this past election right ?? Lol. OBALGA is a manufacturer of votes... When u could manufacture 400k votes from southern Ijaw back in those days, no one complained. Please enjoy the movie called modern Rivers politics. Stop complaining. And I know it hurts cos a lot of the oil money accruing to govt house comes from ur communities lol. Na so Nigeria dey sha. We will eat it very wel. We are all one my brother

And the day ? lol u have been trying since 2003. In fact since the 1970s. After all it is ur property right ? To win election u no fit sha.. lol. STrong Ijaw nation we hail una.. the real owners of 20,000 votes.

Ikwerres are not Igbos,
All these Igbos should go and rest.
Ikwerre is ikwerre.
Igbo is Igbo

They should let Ikwerre be and deal with them same way they disdain them.

Igbo should let ikwerre be and if they are looking for alliance there are other groups willing to do that as game changer.

Italy and Greece are not part of the past as you assume. They remain relevant in our contemporary times.

Thank God you admitted votes don't count in Rivers elections. Ijaw people have achieved a lot through armed struggle part which you ingrates in Ikwerreland are benefitting from. If the governorship was too important to Ijaw people they would have used that energy to get the governorship instead of fighting for causes they felt would benefit the entire region.

After all the Ogoni people have been able to rest a bit for the past 2 decades.

I don't blame you, I blame Tinubu that gave some of you a platform to rant.

We don't have problems with Igbo residents per say. We've only had issues with Igbo separatist groups misrepresenting our history.

That's why they foolishly Continue looking for those who keep sabotaging their struggles.
