TonyeBarcanista:
Is it not clear that the Eastern Railway at Diobu was formerly known as Iguocha and NOT the entire Portharcourt City? This is easy to comprehend.


Can't it be inferred that Iguocha, other Ikwerre farmlands/towns and Okrika Fishing camps makes up portharcourt? Is this not clear? So when did the whole PHC become Iguocha? Is Iguocha, a town in Diobu(as at then) now Igbo owned or Ikwerre owned?


For the upteenth time, PHC is not Iguocha or Igweocha and has never been. Parts of Portharcourt? Maybe, just like every other towns that makes up the citu. But if the Ikwerres wants it renamed(their parts), it is between the RVSG, Ikwerre people and Okrika people


HopeAtHand

are u reffering to ikwere as an ethnic group, u kw u are wrong

Ciscogod:
This funny people don commot eye for Lagos. Now na PHC.

Lagos is noman's land. PH is Ikwere land and Ijaw shud keep off. Ikwere is an igbo sub group. Enugu gave birth to PH

NOBLEDANDY:
.

Your post holds no water...
You made nothing out of your points... So deal with it...
Meanwhile whether ikwere are Igbo sub group or not...
I don't care...
Buh remember as far as Nigeria is concerned ikwere are minority to ijaw... Lol

Yes u are right. Ikwerre are verry Fo.oolish ppl. the made themselve insignificant minority in nigeria. South eastern politicians are the brain behind creation of bayelsa state to give ikwere ppl a voice in PH which the Ijaw dominated in the old rivers state. Northerners jst carved out oil producing igboland and merged them with ijaws to make them minority and steal oil and the foolish ppl jump and started claiming different ethnic group. u can see how Buhari is clipping ikwere's wing sacking Wike. they will install a loyal minority through which they will siphon money

The following are from the above references. They
clearly indicate that ikwerre Chiefs, Ezes, Legislatures and Municipal councilors from time immemorial claim Igbo as their tribe. These ikwerre Legislators, Parliamentarians and Municipal Councilors maintained that they are Igbo as the records indicate. I challenge Mr. Emeka Okala and Dr. M, D. Amadi to produce records with similar information in support of their claims.

Their names clearly indicate the ethnic group they belong. The zoo are the land grabbers

naijapips02:
iguocha or whatever you might want to call was an ikwere enclave.....ikwere town. There are many parts that was brought together to form PH. It's on the document you cited. read it carefully, this time around, with less emotions and more brainpower.

of course its ikwerre land and ikwere is an igbo clan who are wasting time to claim seperate ethnic identity because of oil. there is no serious linguistic or anthropological evidence that qualifies ikwere as a seperate ethinic group. even the ijaws has many subgroups whose dialects are not even mutually intelligible, while ikwere communicate fluently with the SE igbos. Ikweres speack better igbos than ppl of Ebonyi state. There are Igallas in anambra and enugu state, we do not claim their land to be igboland just because they are in SE

rusher14:
What zoo?

It's all over.

No Biafra without a seaport.

The coastal people have denied being a part of the struggle.

Go home and live in peace.

No Victor no vanquished.

thank God they mentioned their tribe, Itshekiri and not ambigous South south or niger delta. meanwhile check the name of those in detention in PH for the sake of Biafra

Unlike those dismissed for cowardly acts

VirginFinder:
If this man were Yoruba, ibo slaves wont let us rest.
All the Yoruba nominees scaled through in flying colours.
#ProudlyYoruba

Lol, is he not Rochas nominee, Is rochas not a darling of yorubas and the North. we gave Festus Odimegwu but u said no, and asked rochas to chuz

"our oyel, our oyel" only for mouth. the oil owners want to use it, they will soon take rivers and akwaibom and install their pupets who will provide the money while u live in ur oil poluted lands

The land of fading sun are at it again

They own all oil blocks while som.e fools are kept busy with "igbos want our oyel"

shogz89:
those guyz are illiterate.. Removing lagos and ondo like they are south East or what.. I might understand kogi and kwara because they ain't SW.. He definitely ain't 16 Oct he would have seen the map of Nigeria if he was.. Probably 13

dont be an I.diot please. tribe has nothing to do with states or geopolitical zones. dont lose ur territories to justify ur stvpidity

nobody is perfect. buhari is killer, he was against attack on boko haram yet he is a president today

Useless ppl, kwankwaso was ur hero for providing 1.9million almajiri votes to put ur mere commisioner in aso rock. now he reminded u of the freedom of movement of nigerians and u are all talking thrash since then.

Philistine:
Why is it that most ethnic groups in Nigeria do not want to associate with igbos. There must be something stinky about igbos.

so igbos should keep their head down and refuse to live to their full potentials in order to be loved?

naijapips02:
my brothers keep creating an online country based on their fantasies. They need those kind of reality checks one in a while.

This is 2015. You cannot coarse or intimidate anyone or group to do your bidding.

Biafra still remains an online fantasy land that immature igbos visit once in a while to get high.......Like Disney is to kids.

So why is the zoo coercing and intimaditing Biafrans to remain with them. secondly, what makes u think those pp dont want Biafra, cant we have a simple referendum?? did u check the names of Biafrans detain in PH??

Has anybody observed the sudden romance of the SE by Northerners?? Even if Biafra is not achieved at least it can be a bagaining chip

Lol, they should keep bringing foreigners, nonesense.

Lazy nigerians and oil. tufiakwa

Lol, he who live in glass house does not throw stones.

Ndonki in Rivers are the same with those in Abia. Egbema ppl in rivers are the same with those in Imo. carving out oil bearing communities and naming them "south south" doesnt change anything, we igbos kw our lands

Thank God u kw Biafrans will soon gain freedom and leave u to continue alone in bondage.

Deji's touts sent to harass igbo phone sellers took overdose

Yorubas are illiterates. U cnt ban Fulanis in Nigeria, u can only do dat in Odua republic. Ever since u hv bn shouting 'go back to ur village' no result. Igbos are stil moving in a acquiring properties. ODUA REPUBLIC is ur only solution, but who will bell d cat wen cowardice is ur trademark

Talking frm his experience in d biafra war.

Its no body's business that u refused to be ambitious, sticking ur lazy ass to ur rusted roof enclave. we are not land grabbers, we are land buyers

wen it comes to north, u can never here anything like NE, NW, or "North-North" Lol. and by the way, there are more Minorities in the north than south.

truefact:
Envy will kill you, barbarians..what concerned what Igbos claims? Why can you put your negative energy for things that concerns your ethnic group. ...or better still, seek a country where there will be no igbos or biafrans

Lol, their negative energy is legendary

It is only in the eastern region that everybody is dividing, every clan that has oil is given another ethnic identity. do these ppl bother that Kaduna is not an Housa land?? are there no minorities in the north?? Leave Eastern region alone!!!!!! as for lagos, It was never a part of western region, its a noman'sland till the zoo collapses

scholes0:
Why should anyone come for the commissioning of chike's 2x2 shop that specialized in the selling of hazardous products?

with 2x2 shops, profits is shared over a larger number of ppl, reducing poverty

abu12:
[size=15pt]i tink chike won't try 2 close his shop in protest 4 his rudeness 2 chief of akure again, since akure ppl now has alternative shopping mall [/size]

why cant Femi provide such alternative?? only Foreigners can compete with chike
