What you're calling Seaport is actually a River port in Onne. It lies on the Bonny River, which is the same River that the Port Harcourt port lies. I'm just illustrating it to you that they both have close proximity. You wouldn't know.

What makes a port functional is the port activities that are ongoing therein. The port has facilities but importers will rather use mostly Lagos. The facilities necessarily for port functionality are ever present at the port. It is left for the importers to make their referable choice. And most importers choose lagos because of large market within Lagos and SWest. It is good we have come to an agreement that the Port harcourt wharf is in Ikwerreland. Which Port is in Igboland?

Abeg post the crude oil production per LGA in Rivers state. I'd love to see the breakdown.

Nigercity:


There's no difference at all

Nigercity:


Oga me and you haven't come to any agreement
Port Harcourt wharf which is not even functional has nothing to do with the ikwerres,
Something wey ijaw people Done claim tey tey

Ikwerre knows there boundaries in port Harcourt
All water front in pH, nah ijaws get am
I never agreed anything with you

There's no sea port in ikwerre land
Know this and know peace

As for igbos having seaport
I never talked about that
Anyways onne and azumiri are the same distance to the ocean with azumiri being closer to the ocean

waternogetemeny:


EVERY CLAN IN IGBO LAND HAVE THEIR OWN OGBAKOR.


U SOUND SO RIDICULOUS.

Abeg I just need that your breakdown of crude oil production by LGAs in Ribers state. That info would be helpful to me, that's if you have it oh. Do not get a doctored report for me.

As for who get Port or who no get port, I will rather discuss the Issue with an Okrikan, if at all.

Nigercity:




Oga English, speaking part of west Africa is different from Englishmen!
When a British man says you are fromEnglish speaking part of Africa, he is not addressing you as a British man
And you wouldn't start telling him,that the Pidgin English you're speaking is Your own just that it's similar to his own

Now taking about annexation, why will igbos annex you? This is the insecurities that clowns your mind, not just you but plenty of your people!
There's no sea port in ikwerre land, neither is there anything thing of special interest your group has!

Now taking about language
They thing you call Igbo (central Igbo) is actually a language that developed (just like pidgin) from all Igbo languages
The similarities between ikwerre and what you call igbo, also exist between ngwa and Igbo, mbaise and Igbo, umuahia and Igbo, Nnewi and Igbo, no body owns the Igbo language to him or herself
The central Igbo just like pidgin is not learnt, you will just start to understand it naturally!

We the SE igbos migrated from different places and after a long time,the language developed

Ask yourself
Why is it
That no one calls akwaibom man Igbo? Dispute sharing boundaries with us, and plenty of them residing in South East cities?

With that being said
Ikwerre as they said is not Igbo!
Stop getting angry whenever you here Igbo speaking part of rivers, unless you drop the language

Whalis:

Igbo means forest in Yoruba
Igbogo means forest in Ikwerre.
Esuke means hiccups in Yoruba
Esuke means hiccups in Ikwerre
Kini means what in Yoruba
Kini means what in Ikwerre
Omi gbono means hot water in Yoruba
Mini gborogbo means hot water in Ikwerre
Now is ikwerre Yoruba?

Nigercity:


You want us to close the case of the abandon sea port
Lol it's alright
Onelga with 207 oil well
Produces more than 70% of rivers state oil, closely followed by oyibo
You have Google bro
Ikwerre land nah just one cup of oil

Fun facts
Ukwa west local government area In Abia state
Produces more oil than ikwerre 4 local government areas join together
You have internet

CollectMoney:


You claimed on this thread that you have a detailed LGA by LGA breakdown of crude oil production in Rivers state. And I'm asking for it and you're deflecting. You're referring me to Google. Oya send link lemme, check it out myself.

On Port issue, if there are importers using the Port, it won't function. So the port is Idle because of that. London has 8 Ports, and they are all located on the river as London isn't on the coast of England. It is functional because importers use it.

And I asked you earlier if Igbos had a port and you said no. What happened to the one in Onitsha? Importation masters, what happened to Onitsh port.

Nigercity:


Oga don't be slow
Am not a fan of mediocrity!
When the white where ruling Nigeria the used alot of rivers In Nigeria as port, including one in Enugu state, the one you mentioned in port Harcourt, onistha e.t.c
All this things are just river port
The onistha is forgotten, because it would cost alot to bring it to onne standard, so you can't see me calling it seaport! for now azumiri remains the easiest access for sea port in South East

As for the oil thing rest that matter
Nah one cup of oil dey ikwerre land
You don't even need to augre this! Onelga and oyibo nah them get oil

Your are asking me too show you link, as if am your governor that refuse to add it to rivers state website,

You asked me a question, I said you should goggle it I guess you never Googled it,
You provoke
And started asking for links
Why not Google it yourself
And collect plenty links yourself

LOVEALAIGBO:


Hehehehehe

Nice one bros!

Was going to tell him the Igbo word for YES is EEH (those better in written Igbo would probably spell it slightly different), while no is either EEH-EEH or MBA or MBANU! Last one usually comes with an exclamation mark, as it’s kinda like a indignant way of saying it!

In my Nnewi Igbo (and most of Anambra sef) , we say Ehye.

Lies ebonyi was created out from IMO and Abia, ebonyi IMO and Abia look alike alot, while Anambra, detla Igbo and Enugu look alike

Abagworo:
It is not hidden but Rivers State was created on basis of minority therefore each tribe is given full ethnic recognition to avoid dominance from the larger ones hence Kalabari, Ikwerre, Etche, Eleme, Ogoni, Okrika, Ibani, Opobo, Ogba, Ndoni, Ekpeye, Egbema, Igbo(Asa + Ndoki), Abua, Andoni etc. are distinct ethnic groups recognized by the Nigerian constitution.

Rahkman:
Don't call them igbos call them confused bini displacees with borrowed igbo names and language due to confusion

Nigercity:


I wonder what you where trying to prove by writing this!
It's very funny
The things you wrote as ikwerre is actually Igbo

Your are funny guy
Anyway like I said
Ikwerre is not Igbo

Esuke is hiccups in Igbo
Kini or Gini means what in Igbo
Miri gborogbo means hot water in Igbo

Seems like you haven't traveled out of pH before, this is not a basic for argument
Like I said
Ikwerre is not Igbo
Stop feeling insecured,

IDENNAA:


What is this bikonu....

Aren't you aware Igbo and Yoruba has same origin.

I can list 100 words that has same etymology in both languages...

Igbo---Yoruba: pay attention to the etymology oga.

Cheru-Duro-wait
Onu-enu-mouth
Gbadaa-kpada--pertains to movement
Ulo-Ile--house
Ogede-Ogede-plantain....this can get to a thousand words. Una no get brain ??

You are the one that's not properly educated on port Harcourt!
They old port Harcourt small township, Lagos road, aggery road e.t.c are all ijaw areas
They ikwerre part of port Harcourt is actually very very big!
Nevertheless the sea port you're talking about is not in ikwerre land oga!

And they other river port you're even taking about is not functional!
As of today
They only functional sea port in rivers state is onne
Far away from ikwerre land!

Oya to settle this open map of rivers state
Check the location of the river port and the sea port we are talking about! Then Check map of ikwerre land
This will end they argument!

Lemme also remind you that they ancient river port we are dragging is not even functional, nah only onne they work

Sanitizedem:


So why aren’t you claiming Yoruba as Igbo?
Why are you fixated on people that have repeatedly rejected you?
The main thing that makes you an Igbo is the penchant for insulting others. Yoruba people don ready for ona but na Ikwerre ona dey put eye. Nonsense!

Sanitizedem:


This Ikwerre rejecting you gum bodies is really hurting that even as you try to pretend, you can’t conceal it.

Sorry u hear…

Omanambala:


You sounded as if there is something we losing by Ikwerre decision. Get over yourself....you are not resourceful

Omanambala:


Guy, put your brain cells to work for once. The Igbo and Yoruba although share a lot of languages similarities they are still different languages. The Ikwerre are nothing but a dialect of the more populous and wider Igbo nation. Ikwerre is grouped under Igboid languages just like Owerri ,Ngwa, Nsukka etc.

No linguist on this planet will classify Ikwerre as a stand alone language because the similarities with its neighbors are too great to be ignored.

However, keep your Ikwerre identity because we dont give a flying f*ck. Nobody on this thread had asked you to be Igbo. That was maybe 10yrs ago....

But reality will soon set....life na turn by turn naaa

As for Yoruba...the only thing they can do is to destroy Igbo houses in Lagos....what else ? But whatever anyone sows they must reap it. Hate begot hate. You can develop your land with hate. There are over 50 million Igbo...think about that for second and we are just beginning to recover from the war. We are warming up and this is a marathon. Life will teach you people a bitter lesson

paramakina202:


Abia north is only related to Afikpo not all of Ebonyi state.

Nigercity:


Oga stop feeling insecured
Nobody in this particular thread is calling ikwerre Igbo,
But until you guys drop the Igbo language
Every one will keep addressing you guys as Igbo speaking part of rivers

And talking about slaves, every tribes was involved in slave trade the aros sold there fellow igbos, ikwerres too sold slaves and ikwerres too where sold as slaves (back then it was regarded as Igbo) that's why there no special documented ikwerre history by the Whites before 1940,
Asari claiming the sold igbos would have been there ikwerre neighbors
Which as at then was regarded as Igbo

IDENNAA:


Sometimes I wonder if there are one intelligent man from Ikwerre land. Imagine using Ogbakor Ikwerre as a reason why they aren't Igbo. Chai...

I dont even think they are ready for conversation....like an infertile man whose ego wouldn't let him accept his condition....hehehe
