Igbo own no territories in south south,stop the attachment.

this two weeks shadowy account has come to quote me.

garfield1:
What is more embarrassing is when someone from outside an area blindly argues about an area he is not from with the indigenes of a subject area

expecially when the person is telling you hurtful truths and providing you facts that you can't disprove. You want to hide under " indigene" to console.

First it was that they don't accept to be called Igbo ( who ever told you that) therefore I will not count them as Igbo. Lol 🤡 clown

Second it was that they are not gazetted as Igbos therefore I will not count them as Igbos. I wonder when government start creating ethnic groups.

You third excuse now is that I am not an indegene. You are practically begging me to stay off the issue so that you'll be free to make wild and self consoling claims about the so called South South.
Are you aware that when Obi wali wanted Rivers state to be in the south East, Riverine groups agreed? 🤡 clown.

garfield1:
Thanks for the rubbish.bye

Ouch!!! It pained him. It happens when one's agenda gets bursted so embarrassingly.

[b] Religion is Religion and Tradition is Tradition [/b]You just dive into a place and start doing things without consultation.
I heard there are some places in Igbo land where you don't kill pythons.
There are some lands where everything you utter comes to pass. But they go there acting and swearing for each other, some saying bad things had happened to them in these movies.
He was revived, I think the Community refused him to be taken away from the river side until they perform rituals to the River Goddess and that's how he died.
If someone tells you this, you might think twice about the role or take precautions.
Even the Bible says "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar". That's their territory, God gave it to them. If any fish trespasses into our own territory too, we kill, boil, fry and eat them.

Actually you are wrong. Religion is tradition and tradition is religion. Igbo tradition is omenani and it's a religion. Jewish tradition is Judaism and it's a religion.

They are not similar even the slightest way.

The only similar thing they have with Bini is the royalty.

Ishekiri are yorubiod group bearing Yoruba names with culture similar to riverine yorubas like Ilaje and ikale.

Sola, Ayo, wumi are Ishekiri names.

When Ishekiri talks, an Ikale, ijebu and Ilaje man clearly understands what he or she is saying before any Benin man can understand.

liar! Itshekiri has now turned from having a yoruboid language (whatever that means) to being a yoruboid group (another meaningless expression)

For the records, Itshekiri doesn't even speak Yoruba. They speak a language that sounds Yoruba but their culture such as dance, food and dress is Edo.

I don't know when you started claiming Itshekiri beyond sharing a similar language.

Ibadansun1:
When on earth did Ishekiri became Ediod group?

I mean they don't even have similar language.

depends on how similar you ajudge the language, but yes they have similar. Every other aspect of the their culture such as food, music and dressing are most related to Edo than any other tribe.

garfield1:
Oga,they are ijaws.what they have is rather sub tribes or clans but they accept their ijaw ness. why not limit yourself to the SE

the Igbophobic nonentity masquerading as a fair discussant is finally out of his shell. He has finally started singing the usual song 'limit yourself to southeast"

Since Igbo scares the living daylight of you, let me torment you further with some lectures. The best way of classifying ethnicity known globally is by the native language they speak. This is why you say Igbo-speaking and Yoruba -speaking people. If there are no Fulani speaking-people in Nigeria, it simply means that Fulanis are not indigenous to Nigeria.

Going by this method known globally, I dare tell you that Igbos by far are the biggest ethnic group in the so called south south. This is because when an Ikwerre person speaks, an Anambra, Anioma and Opobo person will hear him.

This is not so with Edo, Urhobo and Afemai. This is not also the same with Efik and Ibibio.

Ijaw is even worse. They are very small group. The Nigerian establishement is the biggest promoter of a non existent "Ijaw" identity and you know it. You are a pained, failed ethnic champion and a blatant liar. I say this because you very hardly see a riverine person from rivers state telling you he is Ijaw. Some Bayelsa people don't even claim Ijaw, heck! Jonathan is not an Ijaw man. He is Ogbia because he can't speak Ijaw.

Half of Riverine population of rivers state are Igbo speaking and are Igbos! If this fact pains you, sort yourself and quit your rash of self consoling threads. Patience Jonathan is from Okirika and calls herself Igbo, same with Asari dokubo and late Harcourt white from Abonmenna.

Let me add more pains to your Igbophobic a*s, groups not historically recognised as Igbo such as Ogoni, Ogu bolo are now getting Igbonized fast. The attempt hide Igbo identity has backfired very strongly but at a low-key.

Continue fooling yourself with government "gazette" . It can only sooth your pain for a short time

Another clown has trespassed

you agreed you are a 🤡 clown.

Clown has entered southsouth

South south has four major ethnic groups. Namely:

Igbo (Rivers state, Delta state)

Edoid (Edo state, Urhobo, Isoko and Itshekiri)

Ijaw (Bayelsa state and about 2 LGA of rivers and 3 local government area in Delta state)

Efik/Ibibio ( Cross River and Akwa Ibom)



Of all these groups, Efik/ Ibibio are the largest occupying two state and together numbering about 8million.

Igbos come second occupying 70% of rivers state and 34% of Delta state with minority in cross River, Ika LGA of Akwa Ibom and Igbanke in Edo state. Together they number about 7.5million.

Third is Edoid groups of Bini, Afemai, Esan Urhobo, Itshekiri,Isoko etc occupying Edo and about 14 LGA of Delta state and a minority in Bayelsa. They number about 7. 3 million.

Fourth is Ijoid occupying Bayelsa (only 8 LGA) and about 2 LGA in Rivers and about 3 LGA in Delta.
Note Riverine area of Rivers state is diverse. A lot of area being ascribe to Ijaw are far from being so. Ijaw number about 4million people.

Other minority in South South are
Ogoni
Abua etc

ImmaculateJOE:
You are very correct, Emir is an Islamic ruler, or even more clearer an Arabian ruler.

The Fulani word for Emir is Lamido.

dude is a 🤡 clown who doesn't know anything. He wants to play smart over Fulani influence but is not smart himself.

If I ask him to show me any fulaniland in Nigeria or fulani-speaking community in the north central, he will become helpless.

Those calling it prank, what do they have to say?

RIP to him.

Fake blogger must chop. What remains of Junior Pope is in the hospital in Asaba.

He is still alive actually.

garfield1:
The boy can't even spell tail

At least I am smart enough to make you reply me without actually mentioning you.

I called garfield and garfied1 replied. Isn't that wonderful?

Svoboda:
Youre obviously too abrasive for any further meaningful discourse, so enjoy the floor.

use your garfield account and return with logic instead of running with tale in-between your legs.

Svoboda:
Mention any ebirra or yoruba emir.

define an emir and stop asking silly questions.

garfield1:
That's for emirs outside Nigeria.in Nigeria context,emir is a fulani.Igbos are not indigenous to NC except for few villages in benue while fulanis are

you are a clown

If Fulani is an ethnic group in the North Central then Igbo should also be one of the dominant ethnic groups. Igbos outnumber Fulani in the region and already had a community since early 20th century. Zik was born in zungeru in 1904 and Ojukwu was born there 1933. There parents lived there before then. All these are documented. Continue clowning.

garfield1:
An emir is a Muslim ruler of an emirate who is of Fulani origin

so how exactly do you want to be taken seriously when you don't even know what an emir means.

There are emirs in Kuwait and Qatar.

Take this advice from me. Take time off and do some studies, travel and improve yourself by learning instead of senseless threads and provoking people to call you names.

Svoboda:
Your literal definition of an emir hardly applies here. The yorubas have a strong muslim population but have no emirs, likewise the igalas and ebirras. so whats your point? Besides, most emirs, including the etsu nupe, is of the fulani stock.


Common sense should tell you that fulani presence predate that of the igbos.

define an emir?

Svoboda:
The fulani presence in jos should predate that of the igbos. Besides, their is a recognized emir of wase, a first class chief. Also, no igboman is buried in jos.

very unreasonable explanation. An emir is a Muslim ruler not an ethnic ruler. Being buried somewhere is a choice and not really indicative of indigeneship.
Fulani presence predate Igbo, any evidence?

You counted Fulanis in Jos, what stops you from recognising Igbos in North Central, since you are not talking about the indigenous population?

BigShishi:
Apart from British Airways, all the other airlines are cheaper. Most people will still fly an European airline even if it was slightly more expensive than Airpeace

baseless assumption.

yarimo:
I don't have time for unserious question, I am just replying you so that you won't feel ignored.

only dimwits set out to do what they won't complete.

yarimo:
shey posting And asking is the same

you did not answer my question.

yarimo:
is nairaland Port Harcourt refinery?

when you were busy posting it here that it would resume march end, did you not know that nairaland is not portharcourt refinery?

Ok

Richtaiwo:
Mention any igbo gov with as much yoruba in his cabinet as Tinubu has igbos in his in lagos state as a gov. In the end, how was he paid back? Hate.

mention any Igbo state that enjoys as much economic monopoly and non local investment like no man's land?

Shikena:
The likes of Remo Stars, Sporting Lagos and Doma United at the top level of Nigerian league are private ownership ventures.

There is a nice Youtube documentary on Sporting Lagos.

More people should think outside the box. Sports is huge business and sports marketing is not something to ignore. We have ignored this goldmine for too long. Teams like Pillars, Shooting Stars, Rangers, Bendel, Rivers, Enyimba etc should be real money spinners. This is already happening in smaller African countries including Tanzania.

neither Doma nor sporting Lagos is at any top level.

He forgot Lagos rice mill

Pointless

Was it recovered from her account? Sounds ambiguous.
