sreamsense:
You should have bothered yourself about how many Aba you will see in one ibadan? Entire Aba is not up to one local government in Ibadan. All those tall houses in Aba, if you put them in Ibadan; you will hardly notice where they are located. Tall buildings in Aba and other south east are because of scarcity of tiny landmass.

It would have been better if it is also economically and security-wise develop to prevent people rushing down to the same Ibadan to hussle for money to build empty houses in Aba they only come to leave once in Christmas year

Empty houses in the city? Empty houses where and where and people are still looking for houses to occupy?

Stop living in delusion and stop saying what you did not confirm. Not just because you see us everywhere you go due to our large population you then assumed in your little brain that we are running away from our land. Guy, we Igbos are large in number don't be deceived because Nigerian government has been rigging our population figure. Our cities are excessively filled in their capacities.

If our cities and buildings are empty as you have presumed, ask yourself then why is it that those federal roads in southeast under reconstruction are being extended to 6-8 lane roads, and why is it that even our state governors are extending our two lane roads to 4, 6 or 8 lane roads?

They can't be doing these if actually the people are running away from the land but they are doing so in order to reduce traffic and accommodate the large population.

Reality3080:
those houses u call ugly have been built as far back as 1950's n i can tell u for free that majority of ibadan people haven't step in b4 they only have distant relatives there.

They decide to leave it there cos ibadan has wide land n u don't have to demolish b4 building another one like your region that u kill yourself cos of a plot of land

Just imagine one unexposed illiterate believing ibadan people stay in that place,if u ain't trying to b mischievous go to real ibadan areas I mean highbrow areas n feed your eyes.

My grandparents have houses there but me n none of my siblings know d place n one fool will say ibadan people are staying in ugly houses.

Leave your village n get exposed, igbos that have been to ibadan will never say this,it is igbos who are still stucked in their region that have this kinda mindset.

U self go fear for beautiful houses if u come ibadan,capture ibadan highbrow areas with that of aba n shame go catch u.

Just houses in one local government will humble u

You are just lying. This is how most of your cities look like. Abeokuta, Oshogbo, shango otta and the rest look like this.

Reality3080:
d guy is not exposed at all,he took pictures of houses built on 1950 that people decide not to demolish to structures built lately.

A wise person who wants to compare will go for highbrow areas of the two cities, their useless dirty aba that is not even up to 5 local governments in ibadan, only few estates in ibadan will relegate those shits he posted here

Aba is more than 6 LGAs. What we have in the southwest is big for nothing cities littered with archaic and dilapidated houses. Northern cities are not like that, they are like southeastern and south southern cities in terms of size. Even in terms of modern buildings.

SwissMass:
But people are running away from aba to Ibadan, if you see those easy virtue girls carousing and wangling trollops around queen cinema, Ibadan, you will curse the day Nigeria was almagamated, they are such unquantifiable menace in Ibadan

It's not true. We Igbos have population and we are seen everywhere. Nobody is running from Aba, Aba has better infrastructures and opportunities than Ibadan. Travel to Aba and see the large population there.

I personally can not live in Ibadan. It's too dirty and scary to my liking.

aribisala0:
Aba is 70 square kilometres , Ibadan is 3080 square kilometres

Abia State is 6320 square kilometres

There is no basis for comparing Aba one of the dirtiest places on earth to Ibadan
Ibadan is 44 times the size of Aba

Is no joke

Stop using this as the yardstick of your comparison. Convert all the 5 and 6 storey buildings with 2, 3 or 4 flats in Aba to down floor or one storey single flat buildings in Ibadan, Aba will be 4 times the size of Ibadan. We are building storey buildings in Igboland in order to conserve land since we have limited land.

You will be surprised to see that Aba city will have population than Ibadan if proper and genuine census is counted.

OFFICIAL336:
This is Mapo, the centre of Ibadan

This Aba, the supposed worst city in Nigeria

Which is more developed?

Aba is more developed and beautiful na. Just that Ibadan is much larger.

JonOfAustrlia:
I have lived with a girl from Delta, was neighbors with a guy from Delta. I know a few aunties from Delta. Lol. People I know have called them wicked.

The girl I lived with was sweet at first. I really liked her but then after a while I could see shes a bit wicked. Like someone will have a smile on their face while guiding u to hell lol! But I dont have a real opinion.

What do u all think?

I sense intelligence with a hint of wickedness always there.

Deltans are not one people. So which particular people are you referring to?
Is it the Igbos, the Urhobos, the Itsekiris or the ijaws?

What I know is that the Urhobos are very stingy and can yap a lot, the itsekiris talk and shout a lot, the ikas are stingy and cunning while the other Igbos behave like the Igbos across the Niger.

sorosoke101:
Its been so obvious, the hatred the remaining Igbo states have for the Ebonyi people. Even here in Lagos the other Igbo tribes do call them "OSU" I really don't know what it means until someone told me it means " an outcast". Is there a history to these hatred? I tried asking some of my Igbo friends but most of them can't really fathom the cause but they openly admitted the hatred is much in the east compare to here in Lagos. According to my research on this issue, the hatred is much between the Anambra people and the Ebonyi people. Please I need more answers on these.

No Igbo hate Ebonyi state Igbos. This is just an exaggeration.

SaintBishop:
Has any Opobo man or woman come online or offline to say that they are igbos? I don't think so. Keep living in your dreams.

Yes. They always say it in Aba.

Captain8:
even yourself doesn't believe what you saying....
i know why you doing this..... you doing it because you want us to feel pain and leave the fact sayin " there is no ibo in the south south"..... guy, for where..?.. we die here... as for that "ibo is not in the south south", it just begun... if you like write that Ijaw is not Ijaw, we don't care, but you see that true fact of no ibo in south south, we with it....
if you like called your israel, we will continue to say it till thy kingdom come because we have all evidence that there is no single ibo in south south...

Keep on deceiving yourself.

IDeyNL:
Seriously, some Igbos here just like to bring disgrace by trying to make it seem the great Igbo race are forcefully attaching themselves to minority tribes. You guy keep giving these minorities room to insult Igbos because of your useless attachee by force threads.

Some of you really have to get serious job in life.

Allow the minorities to speak themselves and be the boss

I just hope this online attitude is not being reflected in physical.

Most of you Igbos keep giving Igbos bad name

nobody is trying to force any tribe to be Igbo. There are many igbos in hidden in many states in south south and northcentral. I was surprised when an Igbo woman from Kogi state told me in sokoto that after southeast, Rivers and delta states that kogi is the next state that has Large number of Igbo communities starting from the boundaries between the state and Anambra and Enugu to the Idah in the heart of Kogi state. The Igbos there are larger than those in Benue and Cross-river state. They are also distributed to other parts of the state. So some of these states where Igbos are found are the ones forcing themselves to and claiming our people because they dont want a bit of their state population and land to be returned to igbos in southeast.
Below is the rank of Igbos in various states based on population:
1. Anambra state
2. Imo state
3. Enugu state
4. Abia state
5. Ebonyi state
6. Rivers state
7. Delta state
8. Kogi state
9. Benue state
10. Cross river state
11. Bayelsa state
12. Akwa ibom state
13. Edo state.

Tranquill:


Why can't you folks just show some respect for others? You are still the same people that will come and scream "They hate Igbo!"
I don't see 'They hate Hausa", "They hate Yoruba", "They hate Ijaw" "They hate Fulani" etc. it is always "They hate Igbo" or 'your hatred for Igbo".......yet you are always the first to insult and ridicule others.

What you give is definitely what you'll get.

How do you manage to know that the person you quoted is Igbo. You are a devil who used every opportunity to incite Igbos with other tribes.

kollinzgee:
Any big city you go to Nigeria especially in the south after the original indigenes the next biggest tribe you will see are the Igbos after igbos are the ibibios or we prefer to call them calabars. Do you notice this too?

Not only in the south, everywhere. Akwa iboms are mini igbos. They are plenty here in the north.

Atouke:
I dare anyone to challenge this truth and I will refer you to the history of the ihibio people and their wars prior to the arrival of the white men in the territory now known as Nigeria.

This is a lie

WetinhappenPR:
Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, today visited the St. Gabriel's Coconut Oil Factory at Mkpat Enin to assess the ongoing installation of production lines.

The Governor who was conducted round the facility by the project consultant Engr. Francis Uwah and project supervisors from VKS was assured that the factory, capable of engaging 1300 direct staff would be ready for inauguration before the anniversary of the state's creation in September this year.

Here are photos of the factory.

Good one

BlackAdam55:

So how come you guys have never support the Kalabari man?

Guy, I am not from Rivers state. Go and solve your problem with your fellow Rivers people. Or the statement, my fellow Rivers people is it backfiring now?

BlackAdam55:
If you love the Okrika people so much how come you guys have never support an Okrikan man to be governor of Rivers state? Like I said earlier,if the Okrikans are comfortable with the ijaw tag,you igbo man have no right to say otherwise

Let them provide a good manifesto and they will be supported.

goatgoat093:


You're enabling the land grabbing tendencies and myopia of these delusional Ijaw clowns by asking such preposterous question, there are no indigenous Ijaws in any part of Imo state and Abia. The people in question whom they claim have Ijaw roots are the Ndoki people, a noble Igbo clan in Abia state who simply accommodated Ijaw migrants into their communities (which in hindsight is the biggest mistake they ever made). Ndoki people speak a pure and intelligible Igbo dialect similar to the Ngwa people, and have never for one day denied been Igbos. Now these irritants now want to bring their madness of expansionism into the Ndoki/Asa community in Abia which they're notorious for (I'll tell you why in a short time), but thankfully the Ndoki people were smart enough to cut the cancer off before it spread its malignant tumor, there are several Ndoki/Asa Facebook cultural groups you will find, join them and see how they dealt with the Ijaws who tried to distort their history... they simply chased them away from these groups and sanitized the forums off the filth.

The Ijaws are by nature a homeless and aggressive water dwelling people who will come into your land after you accommodate them, and try to claim it as theirs... they don't even typically live on land as they are a riverine class of people by habit, so they build their communities along creeks and swamps anywhere you find them.


They've had series of clashes with their Niger Delta neighbors, these facts are chronicled so you don't even need to look too far to understand why they are compared to the Fulanis in terms of their encroachful tendencies. Even their Western Ijaw counterparts in Delta and parts of Edo and Ondo states aren't any different if not worse than the Eastern Ijaws.

They have clashed with Urhobos over land in Warri
They have clashed with Itshekiri over land tussle
They have clashed with Isoko's over land
They have clashed with some parts of Anioma over land
They have clashed with Ilaje people of Ondo state
They have even clashed with Yorubas in parts of Lagos, Google Ijaw- OPC clash in Agegunle.
They have clashed with the Ikwerres
They have clashed with the Ibeno people in Akwa Ibom

The list goes on and on... now you get the picture.

You are right in your writeup, but I have some few areas to correct. Ndoki/asa clan of Igbo cut across 3 states of Abia, Rivers and Akwa ibom. In Abia, they occupy Ukwa east and west LGAs, in Akwa ibom, they are found in Ikot Abasi, and in Rivers state, they occupy Obigbo, some parts of Omuma and Eleme, distributed in many parts of Okirika and are the major indigenous occupants of Opobo and Bonny.

So the ijaws who have been trying to claim the outright owners of Opobo and Bonny for many decades want to claim them so as to have the outright ownership of Opobo and Bonny. They know it will not be possible for them to cut the ties between the Ndokis of Opobo and Bonny and the rest in Obigbo and Abia so they started the move to re-write their history and tell them how they (ijaws) and Ndokis migrated and lived together but were influenced by Igbos.

The ijaws has been known since time immemorial to be landgrabbers. They don't grab only land, they claim both land and the people. I know you were surprised to hear him mentioned Abia and Imo. These people are success attachees. Haven't you heard them claiming some part of Anambra state?

There are 3 things that normally attract them:
1. Presence of oil deposits
2. Closeness to Niger river, Orashi river, Imo river or any form of creek
3. Having serious development and prominent cities like portharcourt, Bonny, Opobo, Aba, Obigbo, Warri, Onitsha, Owerri or Benin.

They only states they are not laying claim to in south south and southeast are Enugu, Ebonyi and cross river because of their distance.

AdakaBoro8:
indokis are Ijaws.

Criminal, landgrabber.

AdakaBoro8:
will you stop lying...
tribes in SE...
1)igbo.
2)ebonyi tribes.
3)ibibio.
4)igala.
5)mbaise.
6)onitsha.
7)Ijaw of abia state.

which means igbo population there is 65%

so what are u talking about?

Landgrabbers, when do you start occupying Abia state or you are still agitating for a union with Ndoki Igbo. You hate Igbo and you still looking for a way to form tie with your Igbo neighbours.

EdoDefence:


Well after reading your stupidity halfway and realising you're stu.pid I stopped cos I recall The Great Benin Empire having no contact with eboes and eboes being perpetual sla.ves to the warrior Ijaw nation

Who are the warrior ijaw?

Guy go and read history. Many helmet tribes are talking to Igbo anyhow because we lost the civil war, even today can you have the gut to confront any Igbo man face to face?

Ijaw is not an ethnic group, have you seen any ethnic group that has more than 400 different languages. Ijaw is a recent ethnic group from Sierra Leone who are occupying land rejected and abandoned by Igbos and Ibibios.

Most of their communities today are still bearing Igbo ancient names like AMADI ama, NDUBUISI ama, OKORO ama, KALANSU ama etc. The slavery trade did in the bight of Biafra was done among and between the Igbos and Ibibios, ijaws were not in the picture. The Igbo slaves became a lucrative venture because of their high demand by the whites due to their strength, intelligence and fair colour.

The merchants of the trade were Aros, Abam, Abiriba, Ngwa, Ibibio and Ndoki. The Aros, Abams and Ndokis still have many communities distributed all over the land being occupied by ijaws today.

Ijaws connived with the federal government to ban teaching of history in schools. Traditionally, ijaw does not have any land, they used to leave on top of water with their thatch houses. The Aros had no interest in ijaws because they were the least demanded.

PHijo:


It is you that will die a miserable death not me. Before Jonathan was even made vice president Ijaw people made it clear that what interests them is not political office but political, legal and economic reforms.
Nigeria is a failed banana republic, a poster child of failure. If Ijaw people didn't turn the presidency to a do or die affair what makes you think they will be so interested in the governorship of Rivers state?
1999 the Ijaw people decided the governor should come from a minority bloc in Rivers state. Amaechi who succeeded Odili was not a candidate, he became governor by supreme court ruling.

So what are you talking about?

Nigeria has not been able to conduct any election that has been hitch free in comparison with the elections that produced governors like Okilo and Ada-George.

But Omehia was there before the supreme court justice.

AdakaBoro8:
2006 census recorded the whole south east 16millions. but there are many tribes in that SE that record 16mils. which means igbo population there is 9mil..
igbo is a minority tribe

Igbo account for 95% of the population in south east, 30 - 40 of the population in south south and 15 - 20% of the population outside south east and south south. Mind you most Nigerians especially the north don't like being counted outside their land except the Igbos who feel free to be counted anywhere.

[quote author=PHijo post=101827399][/quote]

This guy stop spreading lies here, there's repercussion for every evil a man does.

EdoDefence:



The way eboes claim population is crazy, ask them and they will tell you they are 35 million but yet shout that Hausa-Fulani with a population of 23 million are marginalising them

Hausa-Fulani are not marginalizing the Igbos just that there is a gang up against the Igbos to subdue them politically.

Igbos can not win election in Nigeria without the help of other tribes who have been brainwashed to hate the Igbos and how Igbos will convert them to slaves if they are allowed to rule.

EdoDefence:


Sorry oo but who be eboes the last time I checked their second name na chest beaters

The ones your ancestors served, the ones that gave your ancestors land, the ones that their strength and achievement troubles your mind, the ones that close your raw naked, the ones that introduced clothes to your place, the ones that are known as the most intelligent blacks in the whole world, the ones that defended their land from invasion by all the ancient kingdoms, the ones that fought British colonialism in the dark age for 8yrs when your ancestors were still naked, THE GREAT IGBOS THAT FOUGHT ALONGSIDE THE AKWA-CROSS AGAINST ALL NIGERIAN TRIBES WITH THEIR AFRICAN AND WORLD SUPPORTERS LIKE UK, RUSSIA, USA, ARABIAN WORLD AND EGYPT.

Your threat to Igbos is like a rat � threatening a lion �. Most times we overlooked you because we know you are too small to be handled. Even the Hausa-Fulani trembles whenever Igbo coughs talk more of a chicken � livered ijaw.

PHijo:


Where have Ijaw people claimed Ogoni, Ikwerre, Ekpeye, Itsekiri or Edo to be Ijaw?

Ikwerre people trace their roots to present day Edo state. To the best of my knowledge it is only Igbos that are forcing an Igbo identity on the Ikwerre and several other groups.

The Ijaw don't make spurious claims like you Igbos. Based on existing documents and treaties the Igbo people would be homeless or pay rent to the Ijaw and her neighbours if people enforce such legal rights. The little opportunity Britain gave you Igbos is being abused today.

From Arogbo to Andoni, Ijaw culture is one. You Igbos have been mimicking our culture with limited success. Now you think the best way to go about it is to lay claims to some Ijaw clans.

Why are Igbos very desperate to be identified as Ijaw or with Ijaw even after we have rejected you on several occasions?

Instead of protecting your space from Fulani incursion your greed has not allowed you Igbos take eyes off Ijawland even if there is the risk of you Igbos becoming homeless refugees.

The man that marries a widow without finding out what killed her previous husband would suffer the same fate. You Igbos have not learnt your lessons from attempts to steal our homelands between 1967 and 1970. Just like then, you will be crushed if you make any silly attempt.

This has shown that you are not even from South if you can claim that you don't know about ijaw fight with Ikwerre, Itsekiri in Warri that was popular and Ilaje of Ondo. I pity the ijaws that have allowed you to be creating more enemity for them. As for ikwerre, it's only 40% of them that are denying their Igbo identity and this was as a result of the Igbos losing the civil war. Whenever you see one Wike, you see five Amaechi. Those that deny Igbo identity can subject themselves for DNA test.

nku5:


if you really check that person is not even from where he claims to be

I've noticed that

PHijo:


If you had sense you wouldn't write this! To start with,Bonny, Kalabari, Okrika and Opobo are all ancient Ijaw city-states. You are liars and new to the Nigerian space so you are bereft of any form of history. The Ogoni are a distinct group located only in Rivers state. The crimes against the Ogoni, like their Ijaw neighbours was primarily committed by the Igbos.

Ijaw people people are well informed on all the war crimes the Igbo committed. No matter how long it takes they( Igbo) will pay for their deeds.

Then be sincere and tell me how many times your elders and youths went to Owerri to beg Igbos because of their betrayal against the Igbos during the civil war. Soon you will be exposed.

AdakaBoro8:
igbo is an evil tribe that has done grave of harms to the Ijaws. dont worry u all shall pay for it.. anyway happy Adaka boro day.

Igbos are ever ready waiting for the D-Day. From all your writeup I can sense that you are not ijaw but someone from the north or west disguising as an ijaw to cause disunity and destabilize biafran struggle which is not possible cos Igbos can't continue to be held captive in Nigeria. We are already to drop whoever that doesn't want to join.

But I will still react to your comment as an ijaw man you claimed to be. Ijaw does not have lever to confront Igbos, you are fish livered human beings who love empty threats.

Not just because you borrowed liver from Aba to do some gra-gra in the past you will come here and be making noise. Niger Delta struggle was successful because many Igbos were involved both the Igbos of south south and southeast including other tribes of south south. The struggle was not done by ijaws alone.

Your threat can be taken serious by only itsekiris who you were able to defeat but not the Igbos, every group in Nigeria even internationals knows the capacity and pedigree of Igbos. You that can not conquer the Ikwerres, a sub-group with just 4 LGAs or the Ilaje a sub-group of Yoruba with just one LGAs. You threatened the Urhobos and Binis and they opened eyes for you, you ran away.

Because you did a struggle for one year with bombing of pipeline and your hit and run tactics you are now seeing yourself as lord's. It is quite funny, just declare your war on the Igbos and see the truth in words of the British when he said that Igbos are suicidal when you push them to the wall. You have been making reference to the killings of Igbos in the north but it seems that you have not read the history properly. Go and ask them their experience in Kano and Kaduna.

Average Igbo man believes that the only solution for absolute peace is "do-me I-do". Ijaw first start it, we can't start it first because we are travellers and obeys the ethics and nature of traveling. We can't attack your people in igboland knowing fully we that my people are living in your land. Everyone in the south knows that ijaw men have no physical strength. Can you fight an Igbo man man-to-man?

Pls just finish dealing with Ikwerres with 3million population before you will think of fighting the larger Igbos with over 50million.

[quote author=PHijo post=101764527]
So when it is not Igbo victims it is baseless lies. Igbos buried Ijaws alive. Several Ijaw communities commemorate their survival, and a lot of us have family members lost under those circumstances. We are not talking about forceful recruitment we are talking of forceful evacuation and the burying alive of Ijaw men and boys.[/aquote]
Forceful evacuation for what? Was it not for the protection and safety of her citizens when they saw the federal troops closing by? Were they evacuating them and occupying their land?

Your argument here is full of misinformations and lies. The evacuation was not only done in ijaw land, it was done in Aba, Owerri, Nsukka, Enugu and ikot ekpene. So why should your own been given another interpretation. Today Nigerian government is evacuating people and putting them in IDP camps from Bornu state, Adamawa and yobe due to fear Boko Haram and these people are not using it against the federal government because they know it is for their safety.

Elliot2:
Tell me what the average igboman benefited from gej? Why didn't they vote Buhari when he had an igbo running mate if it was about benefitting and not foresight.

This guy talks with sense, I've been observing.
