pongwa:
did he argue with the correction? Ability to speak English should never be a yardstick for measuring intelligence. Yoruba should be the language of communication in that chamber instead

Lol Yoruba should be the language of communication in a Federal legislative body? Really? Why not Igbo or Hausa?
You people have forgotten that English is our official language and that to pass WAEC you must pass English?

Kreesxxx:
Well we have the antidote. We are not given to verbosity until the election day.

by 'we' you mean Yoruba APC supporters?

Kreesxxx:
You people are siding Fubara because Wike says he is not Igbo which truly he is not

of course it has nothing to do with Wike rigging the last presidential election openly and killing Igbos in Obiigbo? Sure.
Also in what SE states have we allowed godfatherism? Even Peter obi was roundly condemned and defeated when he interfered with Obiano.
Igbos are not perfect at all, but we have certain hallmarks. Supporting godfatherism is not one of them.

MrCork:
^^^^ male

Brother....Nice 2 no u finally been decieving people wit female status..all for attention!!

Yea, of course it is entirely impossible to get one girl out of over 90 million females in Nigeria who thinks and writes like this.

Kreesxxx:
The truth is that Fubara needs a Wike being alive to even win. I am not saying Wike to side him. Ipobidients are using the formula of an enemy to my enemy is my friend. If Wike is not there Fubara will lose their support and people will start to see beyond the facade and be asking questions on his performance.

The first thing you must do as an APC man is to be openly Anti-Igbo. You can do it by saying something like 'I'm Ikwere and we have nothing in common with Igbos' or 'Even though I'm Igbo, we igbos are fvcking up' etc
Bro, forget Fubara's facade, we are seeing your facade here

These things I will show you schools will not reach you,not even your parents either you learn it from the streets or you learn from experience.
1) 80% of Nigerian ladies are gold diggers,they size up your financial strength before considering dating you,they don't feel love or affection its strictly business and they are brutal about it,so if you know you don't have money to throw around just chill for the other 20% it will take you a whole lot of time and patience to find them but they exist, I can bet you with my life you will definitely find one it's cost you must patience and belief and when you find them cherish them,love them ,and guard them with every weapon in your arsenal

2)If you are too emotional I will advice you stay away from Nigerian women or you may end up killing yourself or killing them too,they will put you through a lot. when you are dating a Nigerian lady be ready for
emotional roller coaster you will feel almost emotions humans have will feel hate, jealousy,fear,rejection,bitterness, anger etc,in summary if you don't have control over your emotions kindly stay away from them because you will go through a lot from them.

3) you must learn to make them invest in the relationship, wherever a Nigerian woman is invested she hardly leaves,make sure she invest in you that's the the only way you can keep them,investment can come in form of money, time, emotions and most importantly sex,once in a while borrow some certain amount from your girl to do some business or make her invest in a joint business.secondly make sure you furk her once in a while it's very important, sex is the greatest investment a woman can give you especially if she is not married to you.

Nice insights buddy 👍

You are the kindergarten here. We have in Ikwerre land freed Igbo slaves. If they say they are Igbos tried they are. Deal with them. Don't generalise the whole ikwerre just because Mbata jobbed you people.

cry more

Kreesxxx:
So you want Ikwerre to become Igbo? As we have always said Igbos must be careful or Ikwerre will cause you people to stop existing. We will approach the national assembly and ask them to deregister you people as an ethnic group in Nigeria. That you people are Ikwerres. Yorubas and Hausas will vote for us.

child-like thinking

Rivers state is a majority Igbo state. Igbos have 6 and half states. Rivers and half of Delta.
If Anioma state is created, we will have 7 states clear.

Anyone in prison for non violent petty crimes for up to 10 years now should be released on probation to help this country recover from wounds of the past

From developing his home state's IGR to developing Abuja's IGR.
Wherever they go, IGR must grow

Na wa
We thank God for life and safety, so far

Benekkk:
Sorry, I have no stake in this issue.I don’t hate, I’m just being rational.
Are we to stop reasoning because of vested interests?
All Nigerians are English because we speak English.
Fulani in Ilorin that speak Yoruba are yorubas - ad infinitum.

England conquered Nigeria and imposed their language.
Fulani conquered ilorin and adopted their language.
No history of igbo conquering Rivers. Question answered?

Benekkk:
Nobody will answer this cogent question.

it has already been answered. But you won't see it, because hate has blinded you

NaMe4:
Jaja of Opobo was a SLAVE in one of the Ijaw houses! No amount of denial can change this fact!

Due to his loyalty, he was given freedom and later on, was even made a chief. Sometime later he migrated to OPobo, an indigenous area of the Ijaws, where overtime, was made a leader in the community.

lol, he did not migrate to an ijaw community
He founded opobo and became king all by himself.
He served an ijaw in bonny, yes, but he wasn't a slave. People serve masters all the time, even in this age. Doesn't make them slaves.

NaMe4:


Is this to prove anything?

Did Fubara confide in you that Igbo was his mothertongue?

What then is the identity of those who 'claim' Fulani or Yoruba but can speak Igbo. Are they also 'denying' their Igbo identity?

What's all the desperation about?

stop typing nonsense

richmond500:
Sorry about the immigrant thing.
But no Rivers person will argue that there are no Igbos in Rivers state.

The problem is some persons saying Rivers is Igbo, this doesn't actually sound good to the Ijaw which are the majority in Rivers and also the Ogoni people.
Also the Opobo thing doesn't make sense either because King Jaja was Igbo slave in Opobo and later became a king, this made the argument that Opobo is Igbo, but the truth is Opobo is Ijaw

lol, the bolded shows you don't fully know the topic. Jaja founded the town of opobo after falling out with other top palm oil traders in Bonny were he became a very rich exporter.
He took his servants with him from Bonny. They comprised both igbos and ijaws. They are the ancestors of the current indigenous peoples of Opobo. When Jaja settled in opobo some 150 years ago, there were no people living there

richmond500:
No, there is Igbos in Rivers state, no denial, I don't know if they are immigrants or real Rivers people but Ikwerre language is similar to Igbo and Oyigbo is purely Igbo.

But as for Opobo, it's typical Ibani language which is very similar to Kalabari, it's not Igbo.

fair enough. But they are not immigrants. They are igbos carved into old Rivers state by Gowon and Murtala to weaken Ojukwu's position.
Lobby groups powered by FG then went on to declare Ikwere an ethnic group in 1979 to further deepen the divide and ensure Igbo lacks sea access.
All these were done for one reason, Biafra

richmond500:
Opobo is Ibani language which is very similar to the Kalabari language in ijaw tribe.
Meanwhile SIM Fubara started his career in Oyigbo which shares boundary with Akwete in Abia state.

It's not a problem that he can speak Igbo fluently, if u lived years in Oyigbo villages

oh I thought there was no igbo in Rivers state at all? Why shift narrative? I grew up in Enugu city but I still can't speak the Nike dialect. He's speaking like someone who spoke igbo at home and most people say Igbo is the most spoken language in Bonny and Opobo

NATIONALPASTOR:
Congratulations to The people of Rivers for liberating themselves from the divide and conquer of the Yorubas and Fulani.

Rivers has been liberated fully.... And very soon all those oil companies that relocated their headquarters to Lagos from Rivers will return back to Rivers.

Once again, Congratulations to Rivers Igbo.

i believe this Ikwere no be igbo trash has cost Rivers state billions of dollars in lost revenue to lagos and that is why the biggest defenders of that policy are yorubas. But thank God the policy is Starting to fail, bundle by bundle

mrvitalis:
So u want us to experience same insecurity as other regions?

It's obvious now u are an enemy of Igbos

Lol we are already experiencing insecurity bro.
Anyway no need to join issues with you. I trust Peter Mba to do the needful. Peter Mba and Sullivan are in the same league so I have little fear he is capable of bringing sanity to our streets in due time

Godwin4444:
does speaking English means u are from England?

U Igbos sha want to force d narrative that ikwere are Igbos despite d fact that they are rejecting u steady

Shame no dey catch u?
Who are d unity beggars now?

I was expecting a fo.olish boy to come with a narrative that shows exactly how people can lie shamelessly.
Is English my mother tongue? Did Igbo colonize Rivers state at any point in history?
So we can say Kwara and Kogi has no yorubas in it abi?
If ikwere are rejecting us, why are they associating with us freely?

mrvitalis:
Should ESN be disbanded before state Police is formed?

Honestly, yes. Government should have monopoly on violence unless we are now at war.

mrvitalis:
Do you as a sensible human think after ESN fought Fulani bandits their sponsors would be happy?

Why do you think they sponsored UGM to give ESN bad name?

the main thing is state police bro not Esn or whatever that nobody can control

Kingsnairaland:
Useless talk

So if government or something happens to ur city house your go back to farm and live

why must something happen to your city house? Even if it happens, can't you rent?
Why must igbos depend on others for our food? Is that wise bro?

Elusive001:
They are like the LGBTQ who say that there are 3 genders: like those who deny the male and female in humans.

honestly. Some people can deny the tongue in their very mouth when petty politics is involved.
You will see white that everyone can see but you will be swearing its red just because of yeye interest

See the type of conk igbo he is even speaking. Even me from Enugu can't speak as deeply as he is speaking

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYvj4g9zsSU?si=0ZN7j6Q2gjOPt8gr

My question is this; he is from Opobo. He is speaking his mother tongue. He grew up in Rivers state and has lived there all his life.
Why do people want so badly to deny the Igboness of majority of Rivers state?
Is it fear of Biafra? Do people fear that Rivers' direct access to sea will hasten Biafra if the people of that state join forces with their eastern brothers?
In what way are Igbos forcing themselves on people of Rivers state, when they are the ones speaking our language and maintaining our culture?
Rivers people who deny being Igbo, what have you gained? The reason GEJ was made vice president instead of Peter Odili was because Obasanjo knew Odili was a full Igbo man. Your igbo denial has not gained you much.
The reason Ikwere dominate Rivers politics today is because Igbos living in Rivers often vote Ikwere. If we withdraw our support because of your behaviour, you will be relegated to the background.

To igbos who want us to leave Ikwere alone, my question is what is the gain of leaving them? Why should we be intimidated into leaving an important part of our land behind just to satisfy people who hate us?
How can an hausa man in Niger Republic be hausa but an igbo man in Niger Delta should not be igbo?
