There was endsars and lekki shootings, petrol increase, south kaduna killings, six jailed Nigerians that sponsor boko haram, this same thing has happened against Christians severally committed by Muslims

This man didn't speak out.

But now " food has don " for him whether this accusation is true or not but I don't think a Christian can do this because Jesus has admonished us not to force anybody but to dust off the dust from the sole of our feet anywhere we are rejected

Moferere:
Some of you will just contribute for contribution sake
Learn to engage your brains before quoting me.
The last time I checked, PDP is the major opposition party in Nigeria.

We are talking about their safety with this evil government
Weren't PDP members also killed in lekki?

Moferere:
Toothless party.

Hit the street and protest.

Lead by example, opposition is not by press release

So that they can be shot with "blank ammunition" and their dead bodies taken away to cover the atrocity while CCTV cameras will stop working and street lights put off

If you are asked to differentiate today from tomorrow what will you use

Your brain is immature. You reason like a child

Hahaha
You are the one telling us that we are different, I posed a simple question to you to spot the differences between us.
Instead of you to give up on your foolish and wicked arguments of divide and rule because you can't spot any difference apart from your blind argument
But as a typical zombie Blackman you just resorted to abuse.

You can now see that you have no point and it's you that have immature brain.

NB:All your arguments are so disjointed and illogical

aribisala0:
That the Ikwerres and Igbos understand each other is a lie

Even if they understand each other it means nothing. It just proves they are neighbours

Portuguese people understand Spanish easily it does not make them the same

If you are asked to differentiate an Igbo man from an Ikwerre man. What will you use

Yes they should be praised for inventing the drug

What is so hard in obeying/respecting simple traditional practices that is harmless to you

The mistake God made was sending me to Nigeria. Nothing good has ever come out of this country for a long while. So so bad news.

God didn't create Nigeria

Kiddo01:
If that be the case, Nigeria's for president Good Luck Jonathan, who bears English names and speaks English language is an English man, judging from ur assertion

Ikwerres don't only bear igbo names but also culture, name of villages, looks, intonations, food etc.

Jonathan is an adopted English name and the name of his village is otuoke which is not English.
English staple food is not eba just like the Ikwerres and the igbos
You people should try to compare apple and apple

Kiddo01:
OP you are a bloody fool! Na by force to be Igbo man? Why are these fools trying to be faster than their shadow. Because a man bears Christopher as a name, does it mean he is from America?
The name chief Juju priest in my community is called Christian. Yet he is not a christian . My father's name is John and he is from Nigeria. You IPOBian should leave Rivers State alone and go to ur state. Una no get sense?

Your comparison doesn't make sense
Christopher or Christian is an adopted English name and they are not English people

Do you want to tell me that Ikwerres not only adopted igbo names but also culture and names of villages and Igbo looks and intonations. Igbo market and week days, Igbo kingship names and methods.
Mtchew, you people don't have points

aribisala0:
So if they understand it that would make sense?

It is clear you have no clue about linguistics and should keep quiet

Does intelligibilty prove anything

First your claim about intelligibility with Ikwerre is a lie

Second there are many groups that accept they are Igbo and their dialect is totally unintelligble to other Igbos whether it be Ezzi or others.

If they understand each other like the igbos and Ikweres then the comparison will make sense

aribisala0:
You are Illiterate

A language is not the same as its speakers

We are speaking English and many young Nigerians do that better than their own language. English is a Germanic language . Does that make us Germans

Igboid is just a word coined by Kay Williamson , a linguist, to classify language

Your comments clearly indicate you are reasoning at WAEC level . This issue is way above your head

All that Okafor from Benin logic would make a lot of sense in a JS3 classroom. This issue requires greater cerebration than your infrastructure can support
What I think looks stupid is Nnamdi Kanu dressing up as a Jew and tracing origin to Eri in the Bible.

Goodluck Jonathan are not Ijaw words are they
We have many Nigerian families called George, Williams etc some even call themselves Heineken .

Those things do not mean what you are trying to pretend they mean.

Today there is such a thing as a Nigerian accent whether we like it or not. This is just a function of geographical proximity it says nothing about origin or ancestry

You are the more illiterate here

Using German, French and English as comparison to igbos and Ikwerres doesn't make sense

Do German speakers automatically understand English and French the way igbo speakers automatically understand Ikwerre and vice versa

We are talking of your tribal names here and not how you are digressing into English names illogically

Every language have owners
Do English people speak English? Yes they are the owners
Do Nigerians speak English? Yes, they are are not the owners, it was adopted

PhiliptheArab:
Actualy there WAS fuel scarcity during GEJ's regime.....well well...and no, it wasn't because of bad governance (I have been driving since 2009....so I knows these things).

Infact, in 2013, there was bad scarcity, as well as 2014 (where i was on a queue for eight hours in July)...and even before and after elections in 2015

The reason why? Subsidies.

In 2012 GEJ raised prices of fuel from N65 to N140 .At the time, fuel cost 99 naira to import.

Protests orchestrated by Labour and the opposition brought prices down to N97....while import prices of fuel continued to go up.

By 2013....prices of fuel in most parts of nIGERIA were above the official prices....and the cost of subsidising fuel was going up (from N2 naira per liter to N35 PER Liter in 2015.) And evne then, many marketers were having difficulty balancing their books...so they orchestrated artificial scarcity....also GEJ had problems paying subsidy....which meant scarcity more frequently

Scarcity continued under Buhari till 2017 when he made NNPC the sole importer of fuel, mande NNPC pay the subsidy cost of the fuel from their pockets, and paid off the outstanding subsidy claims from 2013.

I don't know where you reside but me in Lagos didn't experience any fuel scarcity apart from the period I told you.
After 2012 increment there was no scarcity in the Lagos that I live and I also didn't hear of anywhere else

SocialJustice:
Better to buy it expensive and it is easily available compared to fake N87 that was mostly scarce and people still had to buy at black market rate of N120 after enduring long queues.

You lie
There was no fuel scarcity during Jonathan apart from the first two weeks after he lost elections and every where was still tensed

zionstaar75:
if u do your research u will find out price of fuel changes daily or weekly with respect to crude oil prices in US, CANADA etc. What has Jonathan got to do with this, is he d one determining price of crude oil

He didn't allow the changing prices affect us

I thought the price is low on the international market, why is our own increasing.

I thought they are the ones that said they want to follow international prices.

We have deceivers and not leaders

dukeprince50:
na wa o, have some shame abeg, I really feel bad for Igbo's cos of u Ipob lots

I was expecting sound logic response not an abuse

kwerejoe:
Just as Asaba is a tribe.

Asaba is the name of a place and not a tribe

Igbo is a tribe spread widely across several places and not restricted to the name of a place

samuk:
Where did Ikwerre is not Igbo mean calling for Hausa domination, you see why groups such as Ikwerre should be careful about replacing one dominant political group with another.

So the Igbo interest in Ikwerre is for political domination, good thing people like Wike saw the handwriting on the wall and kicked against it.

Even if it's for domination as you are thinking

Is it not better for the educated igbos to dominate you instead of some uneducated almajiris from the sahel.

Mtchew I pity you peoples reasoning

ebenezer202l:
but he is speaking the truth.
He is Ikwere and Ikwere is a tribe and ethnic group on its own.
Please be guided.
LZAA Imhotep

Hmnm, you try wella

You mean a tribe and ethnic group that speaks igbo and bear igbo names and culture

goodlife4every1:
They really oppress us... They filterated our language here in Rivers State... That can never happen again even with this their stupid Biafra...

You never had a language
If you had it's you that would have infiltrated them with yours

osascybog:
If he was wise enough he should have avoided that statement...he would one day regret it

he feels he has achieved all that he wants in life so he wants to spoil the political journey of other Ikwerres. Tiny Ikwerre can't win election in Rivers state without the igbos

That is a selfish statement

Igboid:
So Chime sounds Bini to you?
What about Eze too? That sound Bini too?

Don't mind him

These are well known igbo names

ebenezer202l:
what language do Etche people speak?
plain Igbo or ikwerre?

Igbo language varies from kingdom to kingdom and from place to place.

As it moves down to the Atlantic that is how the variation and adulterations are introduced

SlayerForever:
Etche is next to be ostracized. We don tire abeg.

Why?

aribisala0:
There is nothing like THE IGBOID LANGUAGE. You are being derailed by the "Igbo" in Igboid". For your information English is a Germanic language but that is another story

The point is The term "Igboid" was introduced by Kay Williamson the foremost research authority on Igbo linguistic studies before her death.
Igboid is a family of languages which include Ikwerre and several Igbo dialects according to a classification established by Kay Williamson.
By a similar token English German and Dutch are Germanic languages.

Does that make the English or Americans German?

Does it make Nigerians German?

So according to you Ikwerre is part of the igboid family but only Ikwerre is not igbo among all the other igboid family.

Funny you
I wonder why you wrote the truth up there and still try to twist it just to feel happy

So I can start introducing myself now as chinedu Okafor from Benin.

Hope I wouldn't look stupid with such introduction

Benwosky42:
Ameachi is saying his lgbo because of his political ambition,offcause we know his trying to play smart for the lgbos to accept him.lkwerre is not lgbo,I have read so many articles about the history of the lkwerre tribe and all points to the fact that lkwerre people migrated from the ancient Benin kingdom. Their names and cultures are similar to lgbos because of the early contact with the lgbos and their fore fathers then married a lot of lgbo women.

So the Igbo women overpowered their husbands and started giving igbo names to their children till date.

Please you people should learn to lie logically
The Igbo women even erased their Benin culture and named their villages with igbo names

Myhusband:
wike shut up there, you must be Igbo be fire by force



we Igbo established Ikwerre land and made it what's it today.



any Ikwerre not identifying with Igbo is doing themselves dangerous things because when director Descend on you people, you will join Igbo by fire by force


I actually don't see different between Fulani and Igbo, the only thing is one is a Muslim extremist while the latter is a Christian extremist. they're both religious intolerant miscreants and land grabbers

Yes you are right
Don't you see how igbos go about killing people, take their lands and build shops for business
Don't you see how indigenes negotiate with the igbos before they are allowed into their farmlands to cultivate and harvest crops.

Don't you see how igbos take over villages and rename them after making the indegenes to relocate to IDP camp or be killed
Don't you see the igbo water resources bill?
Or you haven't heard of RUGA for the igbos?
Or have you not heard of how igbos conquered afonja and we now have "Eze of ilorin" can't you see? Even all over the north, don't you see our ezes as the life chairman of the traditional rulers council everywhere?

You igbo haters will never make heaven

Grandmeister:
I know it doesn’t make sense, logically, common sensically it doesn’t make sense but let them be! It’s just like how they tagged the 66 coup as igbo coup because of nzeogwu but after the war the place were nzeogwu hails from is called SS or Niger deltan...it is one of those travesties that happened( and still happens) in Nigeria....but again I say to you, let them be.

When they commit crimes other Nigerians will tag them as Igbo but when it's good and okay the same Nigerians will tag them non igbos and they will foolishly dance to it. Mtchew

I have never seen such foolishness

kollinzgee:
Ikwerres will continue to be ikwerres not igbos until the day Nigeria splits,everybody go dey find big brother to attach himself to avoid being assimilated into the wrong nation I pray they get rejected by the larger igbo nation because they are bini..

But why speak igbo language and bear igbo names.
Ikwerres are the aggressors

aribisala0:
From the point of size so England copied America?

Do you know the meaning of the word "reason"


Did Portugal copy Brazil?

You are talking about well known colonial masters and not an obscure situation

OBUKSBAYELSA:
Rotimi Amaechi acceptance of being Igbo is for the purpose of contesting the Presidential ticket of APC in 2023 While Uche Okwukwu was sponsored by Rotimi Amaechi inorder for him to claim Igbo if Apc zoned it Presidential ticket to South East. The truth is that Igbos and Ikwerre belong to the same language group but that does not suggest they are igboid. Similarly Urhobos and Isoko in Delta State looks like that but they are different ethnic nationality.
Finally in Urhobo Land they answer names like OKORO & CHILEDU are we going to say they are Igbos because of the semblance of names; No! I think the Igbo politicians should find a better way to live with thier neighbours instead of using the IPOB vehicle to appropriate areas not under thier direct control, that's why minority groups in the South/South are extremely careful in doing deals with the majority ethnic nationality most especially the Igbos.

If igbo is your native language then you are igbo
Igbo is not the name of a town but a language
