jimyjames: wike is talking pure rivers state politic, ikweres are often times looked down upon by other tribes like ogoni, kerebari , and oder ijiod tribes , he's simply telling them ikweres are much important in Rivers politics just like the other tribes
Since Bayelsa was carved out of old Rivers state, everyone knows the Ikwerres and other Igboid groups are in the majority, Peter Odili, Rotimi Amaechi, Nyesom Wike all in a stretch. So tell us who is looking down at the Ikwerres in Rivers?
jimyjames: The ikweres belong to the ohanaeze Ndigbo and they have a representative Hon. Igochukwu okparama , what wike is talking about is purely rivers rivers state politic, amongst other major tribes like ogoni and kerebari
Did you hear when he said "if anybody ask you where you're from, tell them that you're an Ikwerre man"? Does that mean that the Ijaws ,Kalabaris, Ogonis didn't know that they are Ikwerres? Why now emphasizing it
Meanwhile, where are the "Ikwerres are Igbos" crew here, are they all ashamed with the video or what? You guys should speak up and let Nigerians know what you think.
Which west....Abeg carry your sewing machine and go oooo
We now have standard tailors everywhere.
What do have to say about what Wike said, I know you and likes are ashamed by the the statement and that's why you're trying so hard to derail the thread.
nextdoor84: Mu***mu! Who is deceiving who here?...lolz Please endeavor to go watch the whole speech and not just the part that fit your useless and ugly narrative. I was in that function live and direct! Would tell you more about Rivers if your heavy head would want to learn! Go to bed son!!
Upload the full video for all to see, at the function indeed. Next thing you'd tell us is that you're an Ikwerre, attaché by fire by force
nextdoor84: You outsiders will never understand the politics going on in Rivers state! He was referring to those who say its their turn to rule Rivers; won't mention names. He also made a political statement that implies that power will still remain in Igboid Rivers. Useless OP, leave the Igbos out of this! Igbos are our big brother and so shall it be forever. Meka!!
Continue deceiving yourself, even a 10 year old child perfectly understands where he was driving at
immhotep: Yes he did not call out the sai babarians And we all know that Ikwerre is Igbo and Igbo is Ikwerre
We've heard you, go and seize them then. In fact, let me understand something here, why is it that Igbos find it difficult to attack people of the SS when they diss them?
Asari Dokubo called Igbos slaves to the Ijaws and you kept quiet and couldn't lash back,
Your one and only GEJ was openly seen romancing with the APC candidate in Bayelsa, same thing,
Wike using style to tell his people to hold on to their Ikwerreness and you are equally stylishly defending him.
immhotep: But Ikwerre = Igbo Just like Owerri = Igbo
......but Wike was seen and heard telling his people to emphasize on their Ikwerreness, I know he was trying to be politically correct and that's why he didn't call names.
immhotep: Others can emphasize on their Enugu-ness or Anambra-ness . . . . .all na Igbo
An Enugu or Anambra man would always tell you he's Igbo, it is after further questioning that he'd now tell you his state and community. Wike here is emphasizing on Ikwerre and deemphasizing on Igbo
Hope those "Ikwerres are Igbos" heard the message well, same Wike they'd always praise is now telling his people to emphasize on their Ikwerreness and nothing more.
Ikwerre people are not 2nd class people so they already know the 2nd class people in Nigeria, I didn't mention anybody please, just saying what I heard in the video
IkwerreSon: Governor Wike of Rivers State has urged the Ikwerre People not to be intimidated saying there can be no political position without the ikwerre people playing prominent roles.
He said: Let nobody intimidate you, we are not second class citizens and we will not be second class citizens.
If anybody ask you, where are you from, say I am an “Ikwerre Man”. Some people think we are not important, we are important, we are very very important,
If they like it or they don’t like it, the politics of Nigeria and Rivers State we are very very important.
Afamed: Keep quiet, if it's purely zoning, Alex Ekwueme wouldn't have contested PDP primary with Obj . I guess you were not aware, Ekwueme constested the primary with Obj
How would you expect him to know that seeing the way he reasons
obidark: fueck you....!! election is free for all....
what he is demandin is undemocratic.... if only a northerner always win,then so be it....
i dont understand why this old morafers try to please igbos so much....
you sorry because of the war,then dash them money....!! but demandin from others to dont contest is stvpid....
He is not trying to please the Igbos, he only wants to trend. What do you think the likes of FFK, Reno etc and now Edward Clark have in common, they know some Igbos have the mumu button and anytime they want to trend, they press it and Igbos start singing their praises.
This same old man was the same person who said Peter Odili was an Igbo and shouldn't be allowed to contest, same person is supporting Igbo candidacy.
1) How will the SW nominate 5 Igbo candidates they like to be president?
Will these five candidates be announced by the Alaafin (the Emperor), the Ooni (The Priest-King), Gen Obasanjo (The Soldier) or OPC (a socio-cultural organization)?
2) Political parties and NOT Tribes contest elections in Nigeria and they chose the candidates that they think can win the elections for the parties.
In fact when I read that post, how it's natural for the SW and SS to support the SE and they should nominate 5 people from the SE of their choice, I just started laughing because it's obvious that the person behind that moniker reasons like a kid. I mean see him ordering people around, he cannot nominate the 5 persons but wants others to do it for him.
9jabull: You can't compare Nnamdi Kanu & Sowore, From when KANU was arrested till his bail IPOB has been protesting. Even within court premises in Abuja during hearing IPOB was protesting.
KANU was shaking Nigeria from detention, he even told them they are not educated enough to jail him & they should tell buhari that his mad inside court.
KANU & IPOB set ball rolling for FG to follow & they follow. Who be DSS?.
Can you simply tell Kanu to come back and display that madness again, that he was allowed to display his madness doesn't mean he got away with it.
mrvitalis: Even if kanu is a fool and most people see him as such ...we Igbo's came together ...shut down major cities
Our senators spoke ,governors spoke ...thats how much we value the Igbo blood
The funny thing is your politicians pretend in other not to offend the north but the north and all nigerians already know what is in your mind
Hiding your intentions is not being smart
Are you happy with sowore treatment ? No but u can't talk
They even used your brother to arrest him ...after u say Igbo's are not united
That the FG allowed IPOB and Kanu to display their stupidity didn't mean it doesn't know how to handle them, they disrupted people's businesses and shut down cities but when the python landed, what happened? How many of those noise makers are in prison as we speak? Why did Kanu sneak out of the country like a rat in the dead of the night and why can't he freely come back and honourably bury his parents
contigiency: It was never their fault, rather his senatorial district had a better option which would have been to recall him. But because we lack intelligence where we should rather have it, we will continue to languish in penury.
I tell you, how can his constituency lack representation in the Senate and would not recall him? I guess no one is that educated in that part of Abia state to know what to do.
