if you are Igbo and fool yourself with ndi alakuba you are OYO

This afonja opened account less than a week ago. Despite the public support amotekun receives from SE/SS afonja haven't gotten enough spine to proceed without looking for a bandwagon.

He is even looking for the support of SS in case the whole 'show' develop into something significant.

Divine Judgement is coming.
God might be silent but doesn't take kindly to the actions of those who abuse his name.

Stop Dragging Us: Ikwerre Is Not Igbo And That’s The Gospel Truth.
This topic has been over flogged and I am here to end it all. Ikwerre is an ethnic group in River State in the old Eastern Nigeria but fraudulently said to be in the South South.
A creation of the Fulani caliphate to disconnect us properly from the Igbo because of the oil, I have never seen South South on the compass or map anywhere in the world.
We the Ikwerre don’t have anything to do with the Igbo, we have our ancestry through Akalaka (Destiny in Igbo language) who came from Benin and settled in the present Ikwerre land.
‘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 for ships to berth? And the Chiefs answered: A KWERULEM , meaning – “We have agreed.” (In Igbo)
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.
Therefore ‘Akwerulam’ later metamorphosized in to Ikwerre, so we are not Igbo.
The umbrella union that gathers all Ikwerre worldwide is call Ogbakor Ikwerre (Gathering of Ikwerre in Igbo)
During the 2015 Presidential campaign, Chibuike Amaechi (Ikwerre man), Speaking in Igbo Izugbe (Central Igbo) while campaigning for Buhari in Aba, told the crowd that the person calling himself Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan(GEJ) is not an Igbo man like him, that if the crowd thinks GEJ is Igbo they should ask him to speak Igbo when he comes to campaign, and recently when people where complaining that Buhari have sidelined Igbo in his government, Chibuike Amaechi came out again to say that people got it wrong that the Igbo are getting their due appointment in Buhari government because he is an Igbo man with appointment in Buhari’s regime.
And then painfully enough Chibuike Amaechi won the Ohaneze Ndigbo Man of the year Award in 2015. Aru!!(Abomination) how could they award an Ikwerre man such accolades? I know their plan; they just want to steal our oil.
2018 December period I watched a video of Julius Agwu, the renowned comedian visit his mum in the village and found her in the farm, she spoke with him a dialect of Igbo I can understand clearly.
Meanwhile, Barr. Uche Okwukwu is the secretary General of Ohaneze Ndigbo and he is from ikwerre land, while the president of Ohaneze Ndigbo in River state is Prince Igo Okparanma from Isiokpo River State.
But I will tell you that we are still not Igbo, we are Ikwerre, get that into your think skull, all you want is our oil, the Fulani ruling cartel can have all the oil wells, you the Igbo already have the highest per capita income in Nigeria, manage that one.
During my university days in Jos Plateau State, I remember vividly whenever the Igbo Union is hosting the annual Igbo Day celebrations at the Jos Township stadium, they usually erect 6 canopies representing Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo and the 6th canopy will house Igbo from Rivers, Delta and Benue States put together.
And also during the unending tribal and religious riots in Jos, we the Ikwerre will always run to an area known as Apata, which is an Igbo stronghold for safety, we can’t even run to an Benin strong hold for safety.
But remember we are still not Igbo, all you want is our oil. we will fight you and make sure you will never smell it, even though there is oil in Anambra, Imo and Abia states, your eyes is on our oil. Let the North that doesn’t have oil maintain all the oil wells in their possession already. Thank You.

Do you want progress in Africa? Then say Biafra.

Do you want Africa that would command respect and compete with the west in terms of economy, infrastructure, engendering, protection of human rights, and respect for rules and laws? Then shout Biafra.

Do you want to see a progressive nation that will work with their hands without depending on oil? In fact, say I love Biafra to come NOW!

You can hate it, like it, call it all manner of names, but that's the simple truth.

And you know what, I will not blame you for the way you feel or think , because you can only reason at the level of your understanding. Only those who understand would support the fight for Biafra.

Come Biafra, come the only hope for African, come the land with the most ingenious people God ever created, come the land of rising sun, come, oh come even now in Jesus name, Amen

Amen!

What Britain gave biafran nation that they will receive in double fold ,smaller nations have not started negotiating their exist the bigger ones will soon joined them, by the time Wales and northern Ireland begin to demonstrate their own ,Britain will regret the atrocities they committed in the land of the rising sun.

Irish nationalists had their best result in decades during last election. Scottish independence party won a comfortable majority robbing UK of the mandate to engage in negotiations to leave EU on behalf of Scotland. brexit fallout will likely trigger calls for Irish reunification. Scotland will also likely win a second independent referendum as the polls in favour of independence keeps increasing. UK will taste the Soviet experience someday.

Oga,Bakassi doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of Biafra but it can be retrieved if south western Cameroon (Anglophone) successfully secede

I don't have much problem if it falls under an independent ambazonia. Biafra will co-operate with ambazonia than Nigeria.

They are NOT isolated.....they are many, and such inter-tribal marriages, run into millions. If you were raised in any cosmopolitan city in Nigeria ( like Lagos, Port-harcourt, Abuja etc), you would realise that inter-tribal marriages are quite common.

Many years ago, people travelled widely within Nigeria for business, commerce, trade and education, from the south to the north and vice versa.

Several of those itinerant traders, took spouses from the communities they settled in, or traded with. A lot of men were polygamous in the past, so such things were common practice.

Unfortnately, people who were raised in their own villages, and schooled within their own ethnic region, and hardly travelled outside their area until they were full grown adults, often it difficult to understand this.

stop flogging a dead horse
The issue is not whether they run into millions ( which is rather an outrageous claim) the issue is Do intertribal marriages come with their own separate problems? If you answer in the affirmative, then it settles it.

As for your pathetic attempt to make it an educated man's endeavor, take your preachings to Buckingham palace, the custodians of the English civilization where such marriage is tearing them apart. Rebellious minds won't cease to exist. people who rebel against their families, rebel against nature and rebel against the truth. wherever you fall into, whether the so-called educated one trying to prove he is liberal or simply a rebel trying desperately to assert his independent mindset, know you that none is exempted from the laws of nature and none can cheat nature. The case under consideration comes to mind.

I have seen matured couple who acknowledge this problem and working to keep the union going but to deny that this problems exist is a height of foolhardiness.

oh I noticed you are the same person with ladyhippolyta80 smh go get a life.

no more replies from me.

Ladyhippolyta88:
I have seen inter tribal marriages that have lasted more than intra tribal marriages there is nothing about nature here especially when the couple are not culturally rooted so talk another thing.Value compatibility does not concern ethnicity only because some tribes share same similar values so what is your point what if both couple from different background share same value abi na only culture get value what about other areas and their values?If any reason breaks such an inter tribal union it is more than the reason you pit up there becaise these things can affect intra tribal unions too.Even couples of different ethnicities can learn each others languages,food,people and culture with internet access it is much easy and can end up sharing same values through that.

Now you agree that adultery,finances happen in any type of marriage and is a reason for divorce then why are you so quick to dispel inter tribal marriages oga your argument is stupid I am also arguing based on common sense to know that there are many issues in marriage more than value compatibility to make it work or fail.I f you cannot bring statistics to back up your claim then it remains stupid and unverifiable because facts in itself is common sense.

now, ramble along!

Ladyhippolyta88:
@bold,
Are you serious na which statistics you take back this one up?so inter tribal marriages are nit normal unions so the causes of divorce now has to do with ethnicity what happened to finances,adultery and all that.You are kidding me some couples are not that rooted in culture and whatever value they share with their spouses is beyond cultural values.There are other incompatibiliies that affect marriages other than value incompatibility.It is not a fact until you have verifiable statistics from divorcees who gave you these reasons as to why their marriages crashed.May ethnic bias and sentiments not kill us in this country

I'm sure at this point you will find it difficult understanding yourself b'cos only a fool will argue further.

Adultery, funication, finance challenges are general marital challenges whether inter or intra tribal. However, the problem of value incompatibility is much more fundamental and it's PECULIAR to intertribal marriages, giving them HIGHER RISK of failure. only a stupid person replaces common sense with statistics.

This is the least I can break it down for you. how ever liberal and educated you claim to be, know that you can never cheat nature.

Ladyhippolyta88:

I have seen couples who marry from different divides and are still doing well,even the ones that are from the same side are still struggling or not together anymore Charles and Diana comes to mind.Life happens to anyone no perfect roadmap for what will work or not.Consequences happen even with good decisions emotions are not bad it makes us human and we are all bound to make mistakes.

Anyway that is your opinion.

you don't get it do you? intertribal marriages come with PECULIAR challenges. yes there are mixed couples doing well but those cases are isolated and not an average case scenario.
for instance, the slogan 'cultism kills' is used to describe the imperiled future of a campus cultist. a cultist has a higher risk of being killed or truncating his schooling more than the average student. But then I've seen a successful medical doctor who was once a campus cultist and I've also seen a university dropout who wasn't involved in cultism. Is that a justification to encourage campus cultism? No!
likewise there are marriages involving people from same community having issues. it does not vitiate the fact inter ethnic unions have higher risk of failure than normal unions because of the peculiar challenge of value incompatibility. its not an opinion its a fact.

Ladyhippolyta88:
That one na different thing.

Harry is like his late mother he made the choice make una leave Meghan alone

He made the choice the same way late Chukwuemeka ike made his. choices have consequences and they can be far reaching. most times love stories don't align with life stories. decisions taken out of emotion most times have negative consequences, and marrying accross tribal and religious divides is just one of such.

agulion:
50% of marital problem is solved when you marry from your village

people will never listen. They will mention love. look at what is happening in Buckingham palace.

imrany20:
The Igbo people and their ego and selfishness, their men loves to marry a Yoruba lady but doesn't want their female child to go the opposite way.

Igbo's love to marry Yoruba ladies? why do you Yoruba's enjoy delusions?

Good

But I found 30t cf as the Anambra state gas reserve in one shell source. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The issue is how soon or late this mission will be successful. To me, this is possible already. Human surviving on Mars is the only issue now. Transporting human into Mars ain't a problem anymore

people form states. state won't form state.

impossible

you didn't specify what you mean by "sociocultural regions" with a set of criteria. well taking that to mean a group of people that share more in common that they have apart In terms of religions, culture and tradition, I'll say we have four of such regions.
1) the Northwest and northeast parts of the country homeland to Hausa, kanuri etc under the grip of Fulani and radical Islam and bounded by emirate system and Hausa language and mid-eastern culture.

2) central nigeria. homeland to tiv, junkun, nupe, birom, gwari, northern igala, nasarawa and southern Kaduna area and plateau area. this region is bounded by kingship system , agro based culture, Christianity and moderate islam

3) south west nigeria homeland to Yoruba's eguns Edo's arogbos and itshekiri. with their chiefdoms and monarchies ,Yoruba related language and culture and their mixture of Pentecostal Christianity, Islam and paganism.

4)Eastern Nigeria or south east - homeland to Igbo's, Ibibio/efik/annang, ijaw,idoma/igede and southern igala bounded by Igbo related cultures, judeo-christian values, Chiefdoms and kindred system.

who is the deji whatever to have "long running feud" with KANU. smh
is it the fool that protested with about 15 people yesterday? pls if he wants to stand up to buharis tyranny he should do so without trying to sound important.

helinues:

stop fooling yourselves with "Nigerian" identity. Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa are all seen differently and you can guess who people love to identify most with.

Just for education, IMPEACHMENT IS IMPEACHMENT. The offence remains and after office Trump could go to jail if not pardoned by the president replacing him.

Trump is actually the most stupid and uneducated President in history.

What the Senate is going to do is judgement.- Remove or not remove.

Most people expect Senate to vote DONT REMOVE from office but remember this;
Its a 53:47:2 Senate.

Republican majority is just 8 seats.

One interesting thing about Republicans in the senate, Trump has INSULTED about 20 of them including Romney, Cruz, McConnel, Marco Rubio and most of the women senators.

As I said before, the most stupid person ever to sit in the Oval Office is Trump.

Trump said, Mitt Romney was grovelling for his support, we will soon see who will grovel.

The republican establishment would be the winner of this thing. They will finally bring the idiot in the white house in line.

There can be as many impeachments as there are impeacheable offended. I actually think this orange buffoon would be resigning soon

hey easy! trump will complete his tenure and win reelection. Biden will be investigated. mark it.
