selemempe: You still continue making a great many assumptions about me just to make your point. It's not helping. Simply say that you want to include Ikwerre because you think you can leverage them to put Igbo on the map. You want to include Ikwerre in an all-encompassing Igbo nation. As I have already said, that is fine, if that is your dream, though I believe it can be achieved in other ways and that you don't need Ikwerre for that. If Ikwerre is going to join, then it would do so of its own accord. |

ChinenyeN:look at a defeatist mentality! Chai! Do you know that it was the Portuguese and the Dutch who first moved into Africa with the mind to colonize the continent? They were here for more than 300 years before the British and French arrived after they lost their North American colonies. When did ikwere succeed in creating an ethnic group for themselves? In 1979! Lol not even up to 50 years ago. Do you know how the world works? Do you know that 500 years ago that U.S was filled with native Indians just like Africa was filled with blacks? Do you know that it is possible that in the next 500 years that U.S maybe filled with Asians? You are very funny and lack the knowledge and insight needed in creating nations. Who told you that Nigeria will exist into 2050? Ikwere have not nearly gone far enough for us to say we should leave them. Not nearly far enough. And that you and pazienza don't realise that shows that you should no longer speak on the matter. |

ChinenyeN:it will not do so on its accord if we don't give them a little push. Why we should want ikwere is still not obvious to you? That's exactly why you lack the moral authority to keep speaking on this topic. I respect you..but you should not continue speaking on this topic |

selemempe: Enyi. Leave that talk of two, three, four hundred years into the distant future. In that same vein, Igbo might not even survive. It's a moot discussion. This is the here and now. As I said, I personally consider it a waste and will not suggest anyone endeavoring for such inclusivity. You on the other hand don't want to be "defeatists", so continue expending your energy. As I've already said, your chi will decide with you if two hundred years from now, Ikwerre + Igbo are one and if your sentiments and efforts were worth it (if there is even an Ikwerre or Igbo by that time). 1 Like |

selemempe: There is both a historical and present day track record to examine here, being that anything "Igbo" engenders aggression from Ikwerre. But your response to that is to continue giving them a little push? Sigh. Isn't that what you've all spent the past, almost 60 years doing? Yet, here we are. I'm obviously not as optimistic as you when it comes to this. So, feel free to endeavor. Perhaps you will be successful. 1 Like |

ChinenyeN:there won't be an igbo in the next 200 years for sure with majority of Igbos thinking like you. I knew you know little about the making of nations..that's why you don't look far enough into the future to see how your actions today affect the future. You are not the only one...most blacks have always been like that including me. It was when I travelled abroad that I started reading about the history of European colonialism...I know many people have read it but I took time to really read it and understand how nations are created. Europeans are master nation builders...we blacks have a lot to learn from them. Bro, what we do today matters more in how the future will be than what is done in the future. Yesterday creates today and today creates tomorrow, not the other war round. Today doesn't create today. It is not a moot discussion...it's the only important thing. And because you don't know it, the least you can do is take a back seat when how to create an igbo nation is being discussed. Nations can not be created with your mentality and I respect that |
Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by Nobody: 6:47am On Mar 27, 2020 |
selemempe: Ikwerres are Ikwerre and not Igbo.. This is the first useless statement I have read this morning. |

selemempe: We disagree on one detail and the implications of said detail, and you think you're the only one with visions of nation-building. It's presumptuous. It is also presumptuous to think you can convince Ikwerre to join your nation that you haven't built yet. |
Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by Nobody: 6:59am On Mar 27, 2020 |

Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by selemempe: 7:10am On Mar 27, 2020 |
ChinenyeN:and it's presumptuous of you to think we can't convince them Igbo is already a nation with a defined map, a flag and a leadership under ohaneze and ikwere are included in that map, in its leadership and wear it's national dress... The only thing we are doing is to launder the narrative into the hearts of other Nigerians (not even ikwere themselves because we have done that to include them in ohaneze) that Ikwere is igbo...that you don't know this is also another reason you should not speak on this matter. |
Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by selemempe: 7:11am On Mar 27, 2020 |
ChinenyeN:that's the spirit |
Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by selemempe: 7:15am On Mar 27, 2020 |
ChinenyeN:everything Igbo does not engender aggression from ikwere... otherwise they won't be in ohaneze and you won't hear many many of their prominent sons claim igbo at one point or the other... you know this too but your ego was probably badly hurt by an Ikwere man you couldn't forget |

Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by ChinenyeN(m): 7:18am On Mar 27, 2020 |
selemempe: Igbo is not a nation. We do not recognize a single pan-Igbo flag. We don't even recognize Ohaneze as an authority that we listen to. That's three strikes for your position. There is far more work that needs to be done to show without question that an Igbo nationhood exists. We don't have that right now. I'm talking about the here and now when it comes to convincing Ikwerre. I'm looking at an actual historical and present day track record, but you're looking at a future and dream that you have which includes them. I am certainly not the one being presumptuous here. 1 Like |

Like I said earlier, Igbo people shouldn't brag just because they spread across and control 95% of Rivers state. What about the other 5% which is only Ijaws and Kalabari who are also bona fide people of Rivers? People should stop making genaralistic comments abeg. |
Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by SLAP44: 7:25am On Mar 27, 2020 |
ChinenyeN: Same way there are more than 70% of the northern population who detest the control of the Fulani on their large Hausa and other minority leadership. But what is the situation on the ground? The Fulani still have their way even with their small population. |
Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by ChinenyeN(m): 7:29am On Mar 27, 2020 |
SLAP44:It's easy to make statements like this, but at the end of the day, you have to agree that their situation is not the same as ours. That analogy ends up not working, so you need to reconcile that with (or speak in terms of) our actual predicament. Otherwise, it's as though your making comparisons to something that doesn't fit. 1 Like |
Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by selemempe: 7:30am On Mar 27, 2020 |
ChinenyeN:lol...what are you talking about? Is there an authority that Igbo or yoruba or Hausa listen to? Ohaneze serves a role of a pan Igbo body which speaks the position of majority of Igbos on national issues and every Igbo tribe is represented in it. Every Igbo tribe. A nation is a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory. Is the above not a perfect definition of Igbo? Is there an igbo tribe found outside Nigeria? Or is south south not in Nigeria? Type 'igbo flag' on Google and see what comes up. You don't realise what people like me have done with Google to launder Igbo identity. People like you and pazienza are a dying breed. We are gradually taking you out of the game with the internet. Google things like Igboland Ikwere Igbo people Igbo flag You will see that the narrative you are pushing here is not the narrative the world sees when they read about us |
Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by selemempe: 7:31am On Mar 27, 2020 |
ChinenyeN:really? Who cares? You sure don't care! We do. And that's why we have told you that you are not in the moral position to speak for us |
Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by Nobody: 7:33am On Mar 27, 2020 |
ChinenyeN: Ikwerre aside, every other statement you made here is useless.. Igbo is a nation..Infact Igbo nation and you have no right to dictate or question the history of your fathers. It was handed down from generation to generation and you have to go by it. Well no need explaining, as watchdogs any misbehavior will be corrected by us Immediately.. |
Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by selemempe: 7:34am On Mar 27, 2020 |
ChinenyeN:apart from the abandoned property saga can you tell me and slap44 where the Ikwerres have ever gone against igbos except that they probably insulted and hated on you? You think we need them to love us and hug us every morning before we know we are good with them? |
Re: I Didnt Know Gov Nyesom Wike Is Of Igbo Descent by ChinenyeN(m): 7:36am On Mar 27, 2020 |
selemempe:Again, the Igbo community by far and large does not even recognize Ohaneze as a leadership body. That's the narrative you're trying to paint here though. Let's just make this simple. You want to talk about nation-building. We don't have a polity. selemempe: Nation-building as in nation-state. When you mention "nation-building", people are going to think of a government and not an ethnicity. The latter exists for Igbo, but not the former. When I hear "nation-building", I certainly am not thinking of an identity. I'm thinking of sovereignty. 1 Like |
