Una don carry this nonsense revision based history come nairaland. After taken enough beating from sound Igbo historian, like Peter Benson and Dede Chibu on Facebook, na nairaland una wan come. In reality, Igala is a fusion of Igbo, Yoruba, Edo and Idoma.
Your language is considered Yoruboid, just like the Itshekiris and Ilajes.
Igbo is way older than Igala. This is based on scientific studies, plus archaeological evidence not spin out stories and folktales from one wanna be historian, a road side mechanic for that matter.
Igalas are our babies, not the other way round. And for your information, the campaign against northern Igboland to carve them into your dream Igala state is dead on arrival. It will never happen, whether in a united Nigeria, or post Nigeria

Patrioticbreed9:

mbueto.

why are you asking

Well, it's rare to see an Emohua fela accept to be Igbo. The Ikwerres I know that don't have a problem with the Igbo tag, are mostly from Ikwerre LGA most expecially Isiokpo and may be some part of Akpor.
My elder bro is married to an Emohuo woman.

Patrioticbreed9:

Emohua is our L.G.A and emohua/emuoha is a town in it..

Which part of Emohua are you from? Mbitainwo, Ndele, Ogbakiri, Elele Ali Mini, etc?
I know why I'm asking.

I'm that Igbo that believes in silent but impact oriented achievement. If we don't desist from too much talk and showmanship now, when are we going to?
The Jews were hated all over Europe for their wealth and exclusive lifestyle, they were almost exterminated. After the holocaust, they learnt their lesson of piping low, while exerting a strong influence over the world. You cannot talk about global economic and technology without mentioning the state of Israel. Can't we learn from them? Must we talk all the time, to attract unnecessary attention?

These people don't even know currently war is ongoing in Igboland. catching cruise online while our homeland burns

SaintBishop:
Ranting of a igbo 419 criminal from Abia,you are yet to settle your land issue with Akwa iboms in abia, yet to settle your issue with Ghanaians,yet to settle your issue with South Africans. Yet you carry your wanted,unholy, cursed cain self into Rivers and start disturbing our peace.
There are no igbos in Rivers state any igbos in Rivers state are fvcking tenants they don't belong here, no ethnic group in Rivers state identified themselves as igbo no one.
Rivers people are not interested in any useless biafra,so don't bring your worthless Biafra a country of drug dealers, fraudsters,prostitutes,Ritualist,human traffickers,baby factories, producers of fake product to our state. Go and do your useless and worthless biafra nonsense in your shlyhole states, Abia, Imo, Anambra,Enugu and Ebonyi.
The day you igbos abi na ibo cursed descendants of Azazel carry your biafra nonsense enter Rivers state again,what happen in Oyigbo will be a child's playing compare to what will happen to you lost jews
Fvckuing pig.

Biafra was a country, Igbo is an ethnic group, you slowpoke. In Biafra the, we had Ijaws, Ogonis, Annangs, Igbos, Efik, and Ibioio as citizens.
Igbo is an ethnic group that is spread from the East Central State, Lower Benue and as far as Lower Niger. You should know the difference.

fk001:


10 minutes or 5 min drive from villa to central mosque

first time ever posting without mentioning Igbo. Wow! Amazing!

Where is that afonja fool that was busy posting random posts on Facebook and claiming Igbos rejoice over the death of the COAS?
Where is that anufia?

SaintBishop:
You igbos are the ultimate noise makers since 2012 you have been shouting how you will destroy the zoo(Nigeria) till now,nothing so who is the noise maker?

The mistake you make is equating Igbos to IPOB A very big mistake. I'm Igbo, but not IPOB.
There is time for everything under the sun.... We are weak as weakling o. We be walk over for Ijaw. Make una continue sha

DeltaFire:

WATCH OUT! The comments here in support of Nnamdi Kanu are from IPOBigots living abroad, not in Nigeria. They are unconcerned about IPOBigots being killed in Nigeria because they feel safe abroad where they are. Also, many have IMMIGRATION problems and should be deported back to Nigeria. They therefore want WAR in Nigeria so that they can claim refugee asylum where they are. They like Nnamdi Kanu do not care. They just want a good life abroad for themselves.

This is exactly what I have been saying. I know that the guy is fighting a just course, but his method leaves anything to be desired.
Nigeria is not working, but Kanu seems a nightmare to ndi Igbo. Could you believe my uncle called me today, and told me to keep off
from the East, as they are picking young men, randomly labeling them IPOB? It's no joke, because many innocent people will go down. May God save us.

SaintBishop:
There are no igbos in Rivers state,no ethnic group in Rivers state identified themselves as igbo no one.
If that Eastlink clown claims to be from Rivers State and igbo then he's a criminal.
When the time comes he will be kick out of Rivers state to the shlyhole east where igbos truly belong.

You are just making a noise bro. Remove FG, you no get shinkoro power. Na noise una sabi make.

Igboid:


Ikwerre led by Elechi Amadi Ogbakor Ikwerre told the whole world that Ikwerre came from Bini.
Nyesom Wike recently went to Bini and repeated same.

I don't know where you get the idea that na Igbo man is trying to force Igbo identity on you. Dude you lots are not that important and since I was born and now getting old, I have never seen Ndiigbo send recruitment team to Ikwerre land to recruit Ikwerres as Igbos. All I have seen is deceitful Ikwerres claiming Igbo and forcing themselves on Ndiigbo. We have the likes of Uche Okwukwu and co in Ohanaeze Ndiigbo, fraudulently reaping where they never sowed.

No Igbo man ever forced Ikwerre to be Igbo. Lol! Rather we are saying we are not related with you lots. Don't confuse Ndiigbo with IPOB who are in the habit of following you around. The typical Igbo society is one that thrives on exclusion and not on inclusion, which is why even amongst us we still have squabbles of who is original Igbo and who isn't.

The Finish have never denied that they are if same ancestry as the swedish, Dannish and Iceland and Norwegians, they are all called Scandinavians, the Vikings of the old.

The Portuguese and Spanish languages are just Pidgin Latin languages.
It's akin to Pidgin English used in Edo and the one used in Cross River for example.
Latin was a colonial language imposed on the aboriginals tribes of Iberian pennisula by the Roman empire. By the time the Roman empire was done, the independent tribes of Iberia had lost their aboriginal languages and adopted the Pidgin forms of Latin they spoke as native languages. That's how Portuguese and Spanish languages came about. They are just pidgin Latin.

Is this same as Igbo and Ikwerre? Did anyone rule both us and imposed the language? Nope.
You are Bini people who migrated to this part of Africa, lost your Bini language on your way down and here and subsequently got gifted the beautiful lgbo language by my ancestors. The same beautiful language your Bini ancestors mutilated with their Bini tongues to be left with the stuff you call Ikwerre language today.

Alobam Mr. P nwayo. Do you know Wigwe on Facebook, he is an Ikwerre guy from Elele Alimini. That guy is awesome wih his knowledge and commitment to the Igbo course. irrespective of some disagreement and bitter words, lets be caution and how we handle this Ikwerre matter.
A united Igbo nation is a force that will be formidable in influencing political and economic revolution in Nigeria.

chrisxxx:

Thanks for your reply. I see a lot of sense in it. Secondly your exposure, travel and education has made you a different Igbo other than most of them we meet here.
I have done an honest research on the connection between the Igbos and Ikwerres profoundly. As a young man I have tried to search if there is any agreement to deny our ancestry. Conclusively all the results came out negative. My maternal grandmother was Igbo from Umuahia. I searched this topic up to her. I asked her if there was a time her husband being an Ikwerre man saw himself as an Igbo person. She said no. That there was always demarcation between the Ikwerre man and Igbo person. That they see themselves as one being brothers but not as in Ikwerre being Igbos or vice versa.
Igbos can harness the relationship between them and the Ikwerre people and other Igboid group to form a union just like UK. There is a tie between the Ikwerres and Igbos no doubt but one is not the other.

during my early sojourn in Port Harcourt, when I was still in School, I lived in Rumukwurushi, an elderly man was my landlord.
We had lots of argument on whether Ikwerre is Igbo or not, this was early as 2005... note, Biafra was never in the picture.
But I realized that the Ikwerre never liked been Igbo. What really sprout the argument, is my ability to comprehend them, when they speak, as an Igbo.
Well, in one of those argument, the elderly man, he could be late now, made me to understand, that some of them are related to Ngwa people in Abia state, while some are aborigine, from time immemorial. In other words, they have always been there kamgbe ebi ye bi.
If you tell me that Ikwerre is autochthonous to her location, I will not doubt you, but you see this bini angle, and the accusation that we imposed our language on Ikwerre, doesn't just sound daft to me, but also very mischievous

Even the NIN is partially successful, how do they expect Nigerians to comply with this

Grayoso:


All this your worthless asslicking of Fulani shows your measure as a man. Every Dog has it's day. That Southerners are not Machiavellian by nature is nothing to hold against them.

Conversely, that Fulanis are deceptive , cunning, duplicitous and addicted to cynically commandeering the wealth of others for self-sustenance is nothing to praise.

Did the French revolution not sweep away the bourgeois class who were indolent, irresponsible and oppressive, clueless as Fulanis are? When the time is up no "brilliance" will save the Machiavellian Fulani you clearly love and admire.

For your information, the backlash against the callous talk of Malami,Lawan, Bala Mohammed etal you "concise" utterances are still reverberating now thanks to a South now waking up to note the real character of Northerners . Especially Fulanis. By the time the Fulanis are fully demuystified and rendered impotent you will know they were only ever opportunist and cunning . Not brilliant and never have being .

While you were busy clapping on the side , like a besotted groupie, I think you missed the response of Akeredolu to Malami that calls into questions Malami's competence as a Lawyer and SAN. Educate yourself before rushing to comment next time.


https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/opposing-open-grazing-ban-wicked-arrogant-akeredolu-tackles-malami/%3famp

That was never my intention, but to serve as a wake up call to southerners. If we don't get realistic with the situation of things, how do we now handle issues?

SaintBishop:
But it is true na,the way that your brother Eastlink is behaving show signs of lack of respect.

Eastlink is a Rivers guy from ONELGA, so he is has a say in Rivers matter. Make una rest kwani, Ijaw people. Not all Igbo speaking groups deny Igbo, like the Ikwerre.

Alaigbopress:
Lagos is a no man's Land so the IGR is a contributory effort of the whole ethnic group most especially Umu Igbo. Rivers is a highly industrialized state with it's oil revenue backup, Ogun is just taping from the blessings of Lagos it's big brother. Without Latest Ogun will be no where near top 20. Kano is a Ancient commercial City with a high dominance of Igbo traders, Akwa-Ibom is an oil producing state so you understand the gist, Kaduna the influence of Igbo business men and other ethnic group is contributing to the high rate of urbanii and increase in their revenue base. Anambra is moving at a very fast rate even when there are virtually no Federal Government presence. Anambra is like Ed to a self made billonaire. Other Alaigbo States should go to Holdiday in Anambra and learn how they are doing it to avoid letting us drag position with war turned North East. Oya ndi off mmanu over to U.

You intentionally made this comment, so Igbos will get the bashing they never asked for. Sometimes, I doubt if some of these strange looking monikers claiming Igbos, are actually Igbos.

Ctorch:
At This Point Igbos Should Start Seeking for Igbo nation and not Biafra. Biafra is a total set back to Igbo nation. To me what Igbos should be agitating is Igbo nation and not some unholy biafra which stagnates them back in the name of Incorporating people who aren't interested in the said Biafra.

Seek Igbo nation and not Biafra.

2. Igbos at this point should seek for Igbo nation and stop dragging other Igbos who are not willing to be part of the new Igbo nation. It must be by choice and not by force as I see then doing most of the times online by dragging every tom , dick and Harry.

Let it be by choice and not force.

3. Igbos at this point must understand their worth and use countries with even a small population of 10 million and are successful as yardstick to understand that they already have the number. Their interest should be how to move forward and not dragging every tom like Nnamdi Kanu is always doing up and down.

Know your worth and Number.

But if you guys insist on this biafra of dragging every pieces or ethnicity all in name of biafra then it is quite obvious you guys are not serious.
Moreover it your people that keep dying all the time the While not make the agitation solely about Igbo nation.

We have been singing this song since 2015, but IPOB kept a deaf ear. Some people are using IPOB to gain asylum in Europe and the US, and some of them, are from these minority groups, that is where you get them including their groups in Biafra.

ygowon:

Do you even know the implication of what you are suggesting?
Nnamdi Kanu is not foolish to work for IPOB to be de-proscribed because the proscription in the first place was not right. For Kanu to fight for his organization to be de-proscribed in Nigeria is like to surrender the fight to the Fulani's. For suggesting this, I think you are even f00lish

was that a suggestion or a simple question. you guys easily get agitated and emotional. You cannot think straight, when you are always angry. Take note.

Zooposki:
Very soon they will know they cannot kill people created by the universe and go scot Free. No land can be cleansed except by those that did the killings. Fulani blood will be used to cleanse Nigeria.

Violence will lead us to no where, but to more rounds of violence... The south should unite politically, and solve these problem through political means.

ajailer:
Fulani is d dumbest though most tolerant tribe in Africa which is why the British and French are able to control them in a way they won't be able to control other African tribes. Without the help of the white man, Fulani will be no where today.

They are not intelligent otherwise they will have progressive mindset which they obviously don't have. If oyinbo no support them and use them for their evil schemes, Nigeria would have been so developed and oyinbo ppl no go like make black man dey challenge his authority.

Let's leave white out of this. At least, they left our shores for decades now, therefore this is completely a Nigerian issue.

QuotaSystem:
No we are not.

No, you are. But we go soon catch up with una

ygowon:
Nothing like falling for baits. IPOB has never said UGM belongs to them. ESN is in the bush after herdsmen not security men. Moreover, any richman can sponsor UGM, including the government.

There's no falling for bait anywhere because the security were the one who first went to the bush to fight ESN but they couldn't. ESN never went after them. And you can't expect ESN to backoff so herdsmen can come in. After all, they already proscribed IPOB even before they took up arms to protect the land.
So, your analysis is wack

Well, I think they fell for it. I earlier said, the attack could have been staged managed to paint ESN black. The colossal mistake is the wide support those UGM got online from members of IPOB and other Igbos. Kanu should have made it clear, that he has nothing to do with UGM, that is if he is not the one behind it.
Besides, why is Kanu not working to get his organization de-proscribed? At least the killing needs stop asap

ygowon:
True talk. I have said it before that the fulanis are the most intelligent in Nigeria. It is not easy to pitch two brothers against themselves. It is not easy to own oil wells in Niger delta and still maintain friendship with them while the enemy the Niger deltans see is their neighbour who is crying for injustice which they (the Niger deltans) are also victim of.
But one day, monkey go enter market without coming back

I say ehn. See as Kanu just fall for their bait. ESN now is categorized as a terror group, while the real bandits and kidnappers roams free.
Sometimes I wonder if those Unknown Gun Men, are not staged managed. Do you know that since the attack on security formation escalated, ESN ratings plummeted?

I dof my hat to the sagacity of the Fulas. I listened to Malami's interview on Channels and I was wowed, not because he was saying the truth, but his conviction and manner of delivery is excellent on the per. Compared it to a southern politician defending a course, in the interest of the south and then you will see the difference.
Now, lets move a little bit closer home, ESN was formed to combat the killer herdsmen, these guys tactically withdrew, and laid a bait, which the tactless speaker fell for. Currently, the military is doing the job for them, with a shoot on sight order. We know how brutal those guys can get, especially when easterners are involved.

Few things I have noted about the Fulanis:
They hardly talk, but when they do, it's concise and precise on a carefully articulated agenda or objective
They are not noise makers, compare to southerners that are the loudest especially on social media.
They are strategic
They understand alliances and relationship, and how to court a beneficial one.
They understand the machinery of state and how to employ it to their advantage.
They have mastered the act of symbiotic integration, while maintaining their distinctiveness. I have seen a Fulani man, that is both fluent in Ezza and general Igbo language. It's no joke.
They also have a mastery of religion as a tool of political subjugation.
and so on and so on....

Honestly, their ability to conquer a large swat of land, in the medieval time, and still hold Nigeria at ransom, in this 21st century, is a witty brilliance that is worthy of study For these very summed reason, I give it to them, as the most brilliant race in Africa. What do you think?

Kwashiman:

Wait a second.. when did you stupid Bini perditious idiots began to identify as Niger Delta? Edo isn't even geographically a Niger Delta state, una no even get a pin drop of oil, neither is the cultural orientation anywhere close to the Niger Delta. If anything you are wanna-be yoruba subhumans who still bask in the glory of some expired, overrated and fetish empire that practiced human sacrifices to ward off the British invasion, yet got sacked in just a matter of days, your useless Oba Ovoraemen (or however the fucck his name is spelled) ran away into exile instead of staying back to fight and die for his people. I just laugh when I hear Edo people insult Igbos about been dragged into Biafra, not even the most deluded Igbo man will ever think of mingling with yoruba cast-aways like you... like apart from international level prostitution in Libya, Italy, Lebanon Germany where your women shamelessly suck the shriveled d**ks of some old white geezers for peanut cash, witchcraft, cultism and wicked Bini women who kill their husbands early and inherit their properties... what else are you Oba ato kpe ee chanting losers even good at? guy no dey embarrass yourself here, allow the true Niger Deltans to speak... go join your Oduduwa senior brothers if they will even agree to accept you recalcitrant pigs back.

Nna, calm down. I still have respect for Edo people. The name calling is not necessary. But we have to see the Ijaws for what they are truly to Igbos... the hate coming from that angle is both surprising and nauseating at the same time. Easy bro.

Daveconsult007:


Yako, from ugep in Cross River ..... Mom is Cameroonian

Ijaws are already claiming Nnamdi Azikiwe as an Ijaw man, so what else is remaining
That is the man, they hated so much in the former Eastern region o. Now, them dey claim am. lol
