Raw material will be soured from where they source it from. Most of out existing industries like innoson, they source their materials abroad. When the industries is set up, our jobs will be restored.

Have talks with the Nigerian government. Set your industry here.

Nigerians turned out enmass for the just concluded season of the popular reality TV show which Mercy was crowned winner of the season with N60M worth of Prizes.

Stats released by INEC shortly after the presidential Elections showed that only 28,614,190 Nigerians voted.

In the same vein, stats released today for the just concluded BBnaija Pepper Dem Season showed that over 240 Million votes were cast this season.

The votes cast for BBNaija doubled that cast for the 2019 Presidential Election.

News9naija reports that while the requirement to cast a vaild vote in an Election is having a Permanent Voter's Card and getting accredited during on the election day, It costs N30 naira to vote in the BBNAija Reality TV show.

First, you guys should not missread what is written. Its 240 millions votes not 240 million people votes. Again I not so sure but i think its 100 votes per sim card. So you look at it. It should be around a minimum of 24 million votes.

My observation is. With our level of technological advancement there was no way you could maneuver the process. It was just sim card. Why don't we adopt the same ideas in our electoral processes. Notwithstanding, out elites know the right thing to but have chosen to be oblivious of it.

Hehehehe. Alarming indeed. We're doing slack.

Whoiwannabe:
So I was thinking: Should we do a few days beginners course on python first or just jump right into data science?

There should be a beginners course to carry everybody along. I am also proposing time table/timeline to serve as guide. So we know what exactly we would achieved at the end.

Also can't this exercise be don't telegram or WhatsApp than on slack? To avoid glitch of any kind at some point?

Whoiwannabe:

HISTORY OF IKWERRE PEOPLE IN NIGERIA

Majority of the Ikwerre settlements have their roots traceable from the old Benin Empire.” Iwhnurọhna people descended from the ancient Bini Kingdom. The name of the grand ancestor is Akalaka. Their relations in Rivers State are Ekpeye and Ogba people. The reigning Oba of Benin when Akalaka, the ancestor of Ihruọha (later called Iwhnurọhna) fled was Oba Ewuare(Ogwaro). Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled in the 13 th century on allegation of plotting assassination of the Oba. He died in 1462. Iwhnurọhna his third son settled east of the Sombrero River by 1538 AD, as detailed below. Chief N.M.T. Solomon (2004), native of Ikodu Ubie in Ekpeyeland, in his narrative draws heavily from the now authenticated written historical records delivered by various informed sources including “Eketu (Weber) of Ubeta, assumed to have lived for over two hundred (200) years as the oldest man in all Ekpeye, Ogba and Iwhnurọ hna (or Ikwerre), at that time (and) was asked to narrate the history and customs of Ekpeye people” as unfolded in his lifetime. Here is what he said, which has been validated by the accounts of the current generation through responses to our questionnaires and direct interviews thereby increasing our level of confidence on the data:Ekpeye, born in Benin, was the first of the three sons of Akalaka. While in Ndoni, he married a second wife to gain the love and favour of the people. The new wife gave birth to a son, which he named Ogba. Akalaka was still in Ndoni when his first wife, the mother of Ekpeye, gave birth to his third son called Ihruoha(Ikwerre). Similar historical fact by J.N. Olise (1971) averred that: “Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled with his wife from Benin to Ndoni, a community located close to the River Niger, to save the life of his new born baby (Ekpeye).

While at Ndoni, Akalaka took a second wife. Akalaka had two sons, Ekpeye – born to him by his Benin wife, and Ogba – born to him by his Ndoni wife. According to F.E. Otuwarikpo (1994): ” After the death of Akalaka in 1462 AD, his two sons, Ekpeye and Ogba had conflict, which compelled Ogba, the younger son, to move northwards where he founded Ohiakwo(Obigwe) and settled with his family. Ekpeye who remained at Ula-Ubie had seven sons – Ubie, Akoh, Upata, Igbuduya, Ekpe, Awala and Asa. The last three sons – Ekpe, Awala and Asa crossed to the other side of Sombreiro River (present day Ikwerreland and settled there since 1538 AD.” He added that: “Ekpe migrated to present day Rumuekpe and spread through Elele (Alimini), Ndele, Rumuji and part of Ibaa. Awala migrated to present day Isiokpo …” Amadi-Nna (1993) also said Akalaka migrated with his half brother called Ochichi from the area of Benin Empire.
Ochichi sons were Ele (Omerele, now Elele), Elu (Elumuoha, now Omerelu), Egbe (Egbeda) and Mini (Alimini, Isiokpo). The crucial point here, which is of great importance in tracing the joint origin of the ancestors of the Old Ahoada Division (in the Governor Diete-Spiff administration), is the mention of the number of children that Akalaka had, namely: Ekpeye, Ogba and Ihru ọ ha (Ikwerre).

It is noteworthy that the pedigree and name of Ikwerre people, Iwhnurọhna, obviously took its root from this original name – Ihruọha. Chief Solomon therefore establishes a very vital historical link, which has been missing in literature on Ikwerre origin that would assume more significance in the discourses of Ikwerre genealogy in the future – the fact that Akalaka was the direct father of Ihru ọha (Ikwerre). Iwhnurọhna, in Ikwere parlance, means the face of the community (town, city or village).

Nigerian colonial history records that the name “Ikwerre” was given by the colonial administration when they wanted to acquire the Rebisi waterfront to build the wharf. Using an Ibo interpreter to talk to the illiterate Rebisi (Port Harcourt) chiefs, they asked them: Would you permit us to use the waterfront to build the wharf(Seaport)for ships to berth? And they answered: A KWERULEM , meaning – “We have agreed.”
What the white-man was hearing was “Ikwerre,” so he recorded it in the official gazette that the IKWERRE PEOPLE have agreed for the colonial administration to build the wharf. And since it was the official record of government, the name Ikwerre became the name of the Iwhnurohna people in all official documentations till date.

Similar cases of Anglicization of native names in the NigerDelta region by the colonial administration are Benin for Bini, Okrika for Wakrike, Degema for Udekema, Abonnema for Obonoma, Brass for Gbara sni, Bonny for Ibani, Pepple for Perekule, Ahoada for Ehuda, etc Even so, “… there were dissenting voices, … who believed that Ikwerre origins lay outside Igbo land, … in the Benin Kingdom of old. It is, therefore, obvious that the interminable debate about Ikwerre origins and migrations including the repudiation of the Igbo tradition is not a phenomenon of the post-civil war period. The controversy, as it were, is not necessarily the product of the present political realities wherein groups which hitherto were seen to have cultural affinities now find themselves in different states or administrative systems.” — K.O. Amadi (1993)

The Ogbakor Ikwerre Convention, a cultural organization of Ikwerre people, in a paper presented to the Human Right Violation Commission headed by Rtd. Justice Chukwudifu
Oputa on 10 October 2001, said: “Ikwerre ethnic nationality is not and has never been a sub-group of any other tribe in Nigeria including Ndi-Igbo". There is no doubt that the advent of the British and later regionalization put Ndi-Igbo at the helm of affairs in Eastern Nigeria. This brought Ndi-Igbo into Ikwerre land. In course of time, the Igbo took advantage of their position in the then Eastern Regional Government to grab land in Ikwerre and occupy political positions. In the process, Ikwerre along with other minority groups were marginalized and driven to the
background.” Professor Godwin Tasie noted that in 1913 the Rt Rev Herbert Tugwell, the Anglican Bishop on the Niger, undertook an experimentation tour of Ikwerre towns and villages assumed to be Ibo-speaking to test the Union Ibo Bible Nso being introduced in Iboland. “Tugwell discovered from the tests he carried out that although the Ikwerre were often regarded as Ibo… the Union Ibo Bible translation, surprisingly, was not easily understood by the Ikwerre.” This is obviously why Igbo vernacular was compulsorily introduced and taught in all schools in Ikwerre land before the Nigerian Civil War to the assimilation (i.e. destruction) of the Ikwere language.

This also obviously led to the Rumuomasi Declaration in 1965. ” … in their meeting at Rumuomasi in 1965 the Ikwerre had, under the umbrella of a highly promising new
body that was to get the Ikwerre together as a people of new and clearer vision, they had declared themselves as a people of the distinct identity of Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality – not Ibo, not Ijo, not anything else but Ikwerre, Iwhnurọhna. This was the historic Rumuomasi Declaration of 1965 (G.O.M. Tasie, 2000).

The full implication is that Ikwere people began to assert themselves forcefully as an ethnic nationality of their own and not Ibos or Ijos, and efforts were made to revert to the original Ikwere names for families, villages, communities and landmarks. For instance, there was the change from Umuola to Rumuola, Umuoro to Rumuoro , Umukrushi to Rumuokwurusi, just to name a few.

EdiAbali:
Some Igbo dialect use kini, it's only gini in central Igbo

Fvck off

Does that now make an Igbo man Yoruba because of 'kini'.

Hey, mind your use of words. My opinion was not abusive in any way so i don't think I should deserve that. If you're of the contrary to my opinion you state your facts or wave it.

Pure, like theoretical physics? And you want to learn from the best? Come the Uniport. Uniyo is cool or unilorin. Uniben is not bad but heir chief is at his retirement age.

Fabricated lies from APC henchmen just to bring Gov Wike down

Gov Wike must surely come out victoriously!

Hello this is about fabricated lies. This is exactly what happened. View Point is one of the most listened program in Rivers State

Please, read your history well.

You cannot trace your link to a tribe that you can barely hear their language- igbo are fond of our this

Your R analogy is not logical and convincing enough. Some of our words sound the same and bear same meaning with yoruba. For example, kini in ikwerre mean the same thing in yoruba. Would that mean I'm linked to the Yoruba?

Actually, it is political and other sentiments that has kept us in this debate of origin.
Ikwerre is not Igbo! Don't forget

I can connect you to a social media expert that will promote your page at a good prize. Your deal "na suffer head"

Thanks alot. Your response came in late

Everything about oau is different. They don't even belief you were taught in you're university that should meet their standard.

Take the M.Phil or go elsewhere.
However, if you have time to all this, if you go oau you'll be glad you went to school.

Can you make use of maple? I want to use Fourier transform to a wave function and also for information theoretic measures
