The problem i have with submissions such as this, is that somehow these concessions are only brought up when Igbos are in the picture.

Zoning means the presidency should come south in 2023. Equity and justice mean it should go to the South-East since the other two zones have had a bite. But our Igbo brothers must realise that it is not a right because it is not in the constitution.

Whoever said it was a right. Was it a right when it was ceded to the Yorubas in 1999 or when the South-South had it through Goodluck Jonathan?

Neither is it a given because all the three Southern zones are eligible.
Of course, not just just all the southern zones. All the zones are eligible including zones in the north. This is also not a right because it's not in the constitution.

They would therefore have to present a national figure whose policies are liberal and progressive, whose outlook is national and whose antecedence is not parochial.
Do they have to present a national figure the same way the North, SW and SS did? I don't get. How come we need a perfect indicidual whenever it comes to the Igbos. How about we present the same ineffectual and corrupt leaders like other zones have done.

I either know or have heard about a lot of these people but never watched their movies except for Adesuwa, Jemima Osunde (Lionheart) and a brief screen tiem of Beverly Naya and that Balogun girl. I tender to know Asaba movie actors more than these cinema ones.

Make una no waste una money. MERCy has won this thing

mansakhalifa:
Osihmen to score against Chelsea tonight.

Ay-men, somebody!

And he did.

In the ones I see Mike always triggers him to act emotional. Him and Tacha have the same problem which Mike is quick to take advantage of.

Mike has a way of triggering people and making them look like the aggressor. Frodd and tacha are usually used as his lab rats but Frodd has always given him back double whenever he comes with his BS never minding that he may look like the trouble maker. For instance, this morning, Mercy and Frodd cooked for the house and fried exactly 5 pieces of meat for the house and after the others had taken, it was remaining 2 pieces for Frodd and Mike but mike decided to take the two claiming that he's a vegetarian or whatever and that there was meat for Frodd. Frodd of course got angry and started lashing at himand it looked like Frodd was the trouble maker whereas Mike triggered everything.

Be Sincere can you understand Ekpeye?

I never mentioned Ekpeye. I intentionally left it out.

As for you, obviously you don't know what you're writing. Oyigbo LGA and Egbema community are the only self-recognised Igbos in Rivers. Pls avoid controversy. there's nothing you stand to gain by it.

You're mixing it up He's talking about language and you're talking of ethnic group. The language spoken by those groups can be classed as Igbo but the people owing to their wish are not necessarily Igbos ethnically.

jamesversion:
With the exception of Etche (which to my knowledge haven't actually considered themselves Igbo), the rest groups mentioned are just a handful. If you summed them up they're rent upto a Million people in a state of over 6 Million people. So how do they constitute a majority?

Rivers population is at most 4.5 million and that's because of the non indegenes that live there. The Rivers indigene should not be more than 3 million at most. Ikwerres make up the majority.

Secondly, apart from Etche, Omuma and Ndoki, the most Igbotic group in Rivers state are the Egbema people who are divided into two states. While there are still identity crisis there, it's not as violent as you see in Ikwerre and most of them have o problem with the Igbo tag though not as much as their brothers on the Imo side.

jamesversion:
If the OP had listed the Igbo language and omitted Ikwerre then it makes sense but listing Igbo and Ikwerre as major languages spoken in Rivers isn't a true reflection of fact. The Igbo language on its own isn't a major language without say Ikwerre beside it.

But Ikwerre isn't the only Igboid language in Rivers state. Listing Ikwerre seperate from Igbo is probably because Ikwerre is the most anti Igbo igboid group out there. Never forget that we still have Etche, Omuma, Egbema, Ndoki and even Ndoni. These groups speak a variant of Igbo and would make Igbo a major ethnic group without Ikwerre. Apart from Ikwerre, the other major groups are Ogoni and all the variants of Ijaw (kalabar, okrika etc).

NORSYK:
Hausa as their indigenous language?

Yes.

jamesversion:
Since when did Igbo become major language in Rivers. A language spoken only in Oyigbo and Egbema clan in Onelga is now a major language. See misguided report.

There's a diference between a language and an ethnic group. You may claim that Ikwerre, Opobo, Etche, Ndoni and the rest are not Igbos at it stands but you can't take away the fact that what they speak are variants of the Igbo language.

Abagworo:
Ibibio is also spoken in Abia State while some Cross River languages pernetrated Ebonyi. Imo is the only State where everyone speaks a dialect of Igbo.

In some parts of Oguta, they speak Hausa.

Must he visit? What sort of president is this?

Can they just announce LAMBO the winner today so that we can rest. Some people are gonna have heart attack on sunday. Let's make it quicker.

DOptical:
Look at this one. You said AS Roma used trending words from twitte? Does that not implies that Tacha trended, right? So why did you have problem with my saying Tacha was the show?

For a certain Silicone dumb olosho fan to even question my IQ is a wonder of the world.

She trended for her bad breath, body odor and bad character. Even Evans the kidnapper trended. Several housemates such as Mercy, Frodd, Khaffi trended at different times and you don't hear people making so much noise about it. This place is beginning to smell, abeg shift.

DOptical:
Tacha would have easily won seriously. The gap would have been too much. AS Roma club all the way from Italy even recognised her and wished her an independence day. She was even the first Nigerian name they mentioned. She was the show.

Another typical Tacha fan spotted. If it's not body odor, it's IQ deficiency.

AS Roma simply used trending words from Twitter for their independence message. if you can't see that then i wonder...

peeps4u:
So they were just making noise?
I guess Tacha is ashamed of coming to social media or public, she still doesn't know yet how she will be received having seen how many Nigerians despised her xters in the house and celebrated her disqualification.

Her fans just like her are the very worse. If there's one thing Big Brother has done for, it is to tell people's personality by which housemate they support.

Lawlahdey:
I'm not a Tacha fan.

Lagos is not in Nigeria.

AryaSand:
The booty fits her body frame but it isn't bouncy at all.

She, Tonto Dike, Dabota Lawson, Ini Edo, Toyin Lawani, Cossy Orjiakor
And Toke Makinwa must have gotten the ass from the same doctor.

That's what kinda makes it look real. If i was a girl and wanted to do an ass job, i wold go to Mercy's doctor. I don't like the other fake asses i see around.

peeps4u:
Is Tacha still held incommunicado by Biggie? Cindy, Elo, Ike and Tacha haven't been seen in public since their evictions/disqualification. Are they all being kept somewhere as against rumour that biggie is holding only Tacha hostage?

Tacha has since been released to her family. She just wants her body odor to die down before coming out.

Lawlahdey:
Seriously, Mercy should never be our winner.

Because you're a Tacha fan?

EkunKekere:
That Cameroonian pasta should direct his frustration at Paul Biya though Apostle Suleiman should have been more chill in his response

Paul Biya no allow them see road for Cameroon. That man is brutal.

vVera:
Nobody ever believed Frodd would reach the final week. Nothing is impossible including Frodd winning.

Apart from Mercy, Mike and Tasha (who was disqualified), you never knee who would get to the final. ow, winning is a different thing. I've always known Mercy was more likely to win but it seemed Tacha was closing in gradually, so, i was slightly scared for Mercy. Frodd winning it is not likely.

I wish Mercy was not in this season, i would have supported Frodd to win. But he doesn't stand a chance unless Mercy or Mike are removed from the game. If both of them are removed, then it makes it easier.

Up Mercy

Pls wjo won veto power?

Beorn1:
.
Camera moves to Tacha and Seyi. Tacha is saying that Seyi will not sleep today and she will wake him up when he tries to sleep. Seyi said she can't do it and since she wants the third strike, he will be the one to make sure she gets it. Tacha said let him come and sleep let her see and walks away. Seyi is heard saying how disappointed he is and most especially how disappointed he is at someone (Khafi) for not being able to tell Tacha the truth in her presence.

Khafi is Tacha's latest biatch and it's a shame that she about 5 years older than Tacha but acts like her younger sister.

XML33:
Mercy just lost herself a lot of fans today.

Even just the smoking lost her fans, let alone the bitterness.

Nobody who has smoked on the show has ever won BBNaija.

We watch.

She didn't lose any fan. People that are claiming that were never fans in the first place. I wonder if Tacha ever lost any fan since her caustic behavior has pervaded our screens. Make I hear better thing abeg.

Rossycee:
Frodd thinks everyone nominated him, he said if he survives this week he will cook a special dish for the hms

Not if he survived. If he survives and is not nominated next week.

FRODD gets all my votes this week.

Why is Tacha's face multi colored?

Im I the only one who's scared that Tacha might just Nick this year's BBNaija. While Mercy topped the charts at the beginning, I'm scared that Tacha now has a slide lead. All the polls on Twitter specifically has placed Tacha slightly ahead of Mercy. Maybe Twitter is not enough to judge Sha. We will see.
