Erica is a hardworking woman who's achieved so much,yet humble.
I like her hustling spirit!

The girl fine well well and she's not even carrying shoulder.

It looks scripted.

E be like say Ngige sack these one.-

nengibo:
As long as you have clarified this, because if you are aware of the above, you shouldn't have brought up Kalabari, Okirika people's Ijawness as a comparison to the Ikwerre Igboness

Like i said, read between the lines...

nengibo:
This also isn't entirely true, you're making generalizations.
I'm not even talking Ikwerre individuals because their opinions on ethnicity may differ based on who you meet, I'm talking about recognised Ikwerre organizations lile Ogbakor Ikwerre that say they aren't Igbos, now in that same regard which recognized pan Ibani or pan Kalabari group in that same mould of Ogbakor Ikwerre has come out to reject the Ijaw ethnic tag

The problem with some of you is that you don't read between the lines. I never said that Kalabari or Okrika people are not Ijaws. I'm saying that i've met few people from these places who say they are not Ijaw. It's that simple. There's no grand rejection of the Ijaw tag like you would have with Ikwerres concerning Igbo.

Graysons:
Kalabari, Okrika bonny and co are all ijaws people oga.

You have comprehension issues. I never said they were not Ijaws. I was only stating that there are some Kalabari people that i've met that don't like being called Ijaw.

SaintBishop:
Ok. So what do they like being called?

Kalabari...Isn't that supposed to be common sense?

SaintBishop:
I'm half kalabari how come I have never meet such people,( as you Igbos always claim) don't you think it's strange?

I guess you've met every Kalabari person in the world. I've not met a lot of Kalabari people but few of the ones i met tend not to like being grouped as Ijaw. But they're not forceful or violent about it the way an Ikwerre person would be when referred to as Igbo. Infact, they may not mind it but have something to say about it just like how someone from Asaba may not totally say they're not Igbo but are not so keen on being called Igbo.

nengibo:
[b][/b]
Kalabari, Andoni and other Ijaw subgroups in Rivers don't deny being Ijaw, I'm an Ijaw from Rivers state, Bayelsa itself is a recent creation from Rivers state

This is not entirely true. I've met with a handful of people from Kalabari that don't like being referred to as Ijaw though not in the same energy that an Ikwerre would deny being Igbo. There are also tons of people from Bonny and Opobo that don't like being referred to as Ijaw even though Ijaws refer yo them as such.

Tranquill:
Uche's mother is from Umuahia and he grew up with strong affinity to them.

He is also a member of Association of Ikwerre people with Igbo kindred. If Ikwerre is Igbo, will it not be ridiculous that such association exists? Like having association of Ibadan people with Yoruba kindred , or the Association of Nnewi people with Igbo Kindred.

It will not be strange because even though we think Ikwerre is Igbo, they don;t think they are. So, such association is meant to unite both sides that are not united at the moment. Even if Ikwerres agree to be Igbo, being Igbo will come naturally to them because they've drifted for too long. I'm neither referring to culture or traditional but more with socialization.

Abeg, when will the quarrels start? Are you sure these ones will not live peaceful till the show ends?

For now, i have several namely:

LAYCON

NENGI

DORATHY

ERICA

OZO

Francis95:
I am Igbo from Anambra. I only got to know that there are tribes called Etche, Ikwerre and Ekpeye because I am schooling in Uniport. Here in Onitsha nobody knows what is Ikwerre or Etche.

Nobody would have known that there's any grouip called Ikwerre except for people who live or have lived in Rivers state. Igbos made Ikwerre popular by constantly trying to force them to be what they say they are not. I knew Ikwerre because i lived in PH when i was much younger.

I've always maintained the fact that people are who they say they are whether or not they're playing politics with it and that is why for a while now i've come to accept Ikwerres as a distinct ethnic group because they're far gone and nothing can make them Igbo again. Infact, some of them have resorted to lies just to push this non-Igbo narrative but it's still acceptable, afterall there are are ethnic groups in other parts of the world that have similar language and culture.

Now for other Igboid groups in Rivers and Delta States especially Etche/Omuma, Ndoki, Aniocha/Oshimili, i've always wondered why they would deny being Igbo when they're the most Igbotic of the Igboid groups in Delta and Rivers state. For some reason, i can give a pass to Ikwerre, Ekpeye, Ukwuani, Ika and Ndoni but the former groups i mention are unmistakably Igbo and not just because of language and culture but because they are contiguous with Igboland and if not for state creation that took them to a different state, they would have naturally been in either Abia/Imo or Anambra.

I like the fact that the OP opened his mind and did his research and come to a logical conclusion which is what many people cannot do because they want to take their current narrative to the grave. Even though i don't think you need a research to see that you are Igbo. By your language and the culture/traditions you practice, it should be seld evident.

So, far i'm sticking with NENGI and LAYCON.

I think i'm going to support the 3rd and 7th housemates that will be unveiled tonight. Who's with me?

Bossman25:
I am telling you. The fuckery that so many naija people will do to follow that classified and glorified porn site till the end is really disturbing. To the extent that our younger children 18+ below will follow that programme, and that such programme has been glorified and televised as the only means to be rich, popular, and be glorified is serious fuckery of our Social System.
That's why Tacha is a saint and seen as a better person than a female graduate hustling.
We have lost it ooo......
Our social and Cultural system is so bleeped.

My friend shut your gob. Enough of this holier than thou attitude that we see every year. if you don't like Big Brother then fvcking move on from the thread and stop whining. Some of you lie, cheat, fornicate and spend your whole existence on p0rn sites but have the effrontery to castigate people who watch BBNaija and blame it for the problem facing the youths in Nigeria. Before BBNaija started, how morally upright were you dingbats? I guess the country was an eldorado then? Let me hear pim from anybody again. Now scram.

Who watched yesterday's match? Did ya'll notice how Messi seemed tired and unwilling to stress himself.

robosky02:
If Saka joins super eagles plus the likes of Oshimhen and chukweze



Nigeria has already reached 2020 world cup finals

And why did he not help Arsenal to get to the top 4 of the EPL? It's now world cup that he and these youngsters will help us win. Are they better than the players we've had in time past? We always seem to rush any player that has any link to Nigeria without fixing our real problems.

APC sponsored.

There was once a thread. There's no need to ask if Ugwuanyi is working because this thread already has the answer.

Efewestern:
Even the Lagos and Akwa Ibom are still overrated, our leaders need to do more, I have been to several cities and believe me I'm not proud of any.

Forget the fancy pictures you see online. where is lalasticlala?

But some still look better than others. Warri should look better than this.

And those 13 players say Messi is best player in the world.

Stillthebest:
Oga read to understand. He was referring to someone's answer when he asked him that question.

Also read my answer to understand that i was referring to the person he was referring to.

.“[i]Kamani, Hushpuppi too do... I go done stop yahoo if I get even one quarter of wetin Hushpuppi don make from yahoo.[/i]”
Nigga, keep quiet. Criminals don't stop just because they think they have made enough. It's in the blood and the more they make like oliver twist, they would want more. It's just like people who say that God should bless them so that they can bless others. meanwhile, they're not blessing anyone at their current level, so, what's the guaranty that they would do so when they make it.

Whenever i see threads such and this and answers provided by people, i'm even more convinced that Nigerians do not know what their problems are.

SARS is not a problem just like PDP or APC are not problems. The problem of NIgeria is Nigerians themselves. Whether SARS is disbanded, the regular police or just about any agency will take up from where they stopped as long as they have some kind of powers. Before SARS, police has always harassed people. Same with the military and even traffic agencies such as FRSC, KIA and LASTMA. They've been known to harass and demand for bribes from people.

The lack of morality on the part of Nigerians is the reason for all this.

What about the Chinese and Lebanese?

You might whites don't come to Nigeria as tourists

Even though the Chinese, Lebanese and Indians are known for moving to different countries. They're simply here for the economic benefits just like the whites.

Was it ever abandoned?

EwuGambia:
Nigerians should learn to stop famzing people that dont identify with them....
We dont know her here at mile 2, under bridge..

Despite the fact that she doesn't play for Nigeria, she identifies with Nigeria more than some people in NIgeria. Even her sisters plays for the Nigerian team.
