What do I feel about all these? I feel the pan igbo online agitators or historians are looking for ways of validating Igbo ownership and grips on Porthacourt and its territory. While I cannot for a fact dispute or accept their claims, its pertinent that they know that United Nations article recognizes human right which include the right of tribe that owns Porthacourt to be what and who they want to be.
That a group speaks igbo language doesn't necessarily make them Igbo. For example, people in Southern Kaduna speaks Hausa being close to and has acculturated into Hausa doesn't make them Hausa, so, that basis is completely wrong.

I honestly think the igbo country will be determined by what groups stand to gain if they should be part of it and not by a forcefully coercing people because they dress or speak igbo, that's will be a reflection of lack of cosmopolitan civilization in that part of the country.

What makes a race or ethnic group superior? Without any unreasonable debate I think such people will have with them at least 200 years or more of civilization, empire, human advancements, cosmopolitan culture and linguistics, what do writers of those books had to show for it?

The truth is that in the last 600 years in the areas now called Nigeria, only three major empires lasted into the 20th century; The Kanen Borno, Oyo and Benin Empires.
There are smaller kingdoms though like Tsoede, Jukun. I believe superior people should demonstrate superior organization, governance, commerce, historical relics and linguistic standardization.
In the event of a Nigeria disintegration which I do not hope for really, the Igbo may find it incapable of earning the trust of their neighbors and actually cone up with a much smaller country except they wish to wage decades of protracted wars that may work against it in the long run.

igbo superiority should be showing in today's Nigeria by leading in cutting edge technologies, medical advancements, political sagacity, cosmopolitan developments and in faith or religious evolutions, alas these aren't so, so on what basis is igbo superiority based? Africans are struggling and its a general stuffs, the igbo aren't better and in fact, have political structural challenges and are in most cases find it difficult to evolve a communal based human developmental ideas over individuals desires, now that's an African problem and igbo is not exempted may be even in a deeper quagmire.

I don't know about been superior race gene , but talking about evolution, cutting edge technology, we have excelled in that before and there's nothing new.

we built rockets, we built bombs (famous Ogbunikwe) we built refineries during the Civil War.
if the center government had tried to leverage on those ingenuity without been sentimental by now we would have become a super power both in space research and military hardware.. bur instead they chose to paralyzed and strangle the southeast

Nigeria has a defense company (union DICON)that can't even manufacture a rifle
what the south east needs is our own coveted space to thrive, that can't happen in this current setup

meanwhile I noticed the drainage holes are not covered along that road..
first, that makes it very risky at night as somebody can easily fall into eat

secondly, it's only a matter of time before it will get filled up with dirt and rubbish.

and we enjoyed Rattled snake, living in Bandage, Died Wretched, Ikuku, Evil men, Ijele, Evil forest... without "ukwu " in display, now Nollywood has been thrown to the dogs

French jeez...very unsexy language.

bonjour is like the only thing I remember

it's actually the most sexy language after ITALIAN language

Navar:
Worst was mathematics.. History was my best.

like minded..
I was the best in history, so sad I heard History is no more offered as a subject in school.. which way Nigeria?

from experience and from research, The phobia people get from mathematics stems from poor teaching of the subject no the students

still amazing how Sanusi allowed this Bank to fly while destroying the likes of OCEANIC, SPRING, AFRIBANK AND BANK PHB... #Northernagender

vakabinto:
Nobody said it was forged, but for the fact he took an oath and swore affidavite that every information on his document were correct and meanwhile they were not reliable and valid, the law then has no room for such mistakes#ogah4governor

if majority of people supporting Ikpeazu can comprehend this infallible assertion, the would #STFU

Aprilproduct:
Stop been nuisance if you have any evidence file it against them.

you are a He-Goat
Was Ameachi not indicted for corruption before been made a minister?

demsid:
yes o, not just cos of the church but for ur life sake u need to rest. you get the best rests during weekends.

you are misquoting that guy

he didn't say you shouldn't work on Sunday

taking Sunday along means having the consciousness of what Sunday symbolises, which is resurrection, newness, honor, lifting and more
with that, Sunday is not taking from you

hmm. oga Buru!
Dubai properties on him mind

Donpuzo:
The solutions or how to prevent such ordeal include :

1. Don't board a bus too early in the day i.e if it's not up to 7am don't board a bus or rather be extra vigilant.

2. Be very vigilant when boarding buses at night.

3. If possible always enter BRT

4. Any bus with too many male commuters or just one female should raise suspicion.

5. Pray before setting out everyday

bros with all this.. I think na to treck sure pass

one of the dark side of GSM.. people are so lazy to read, they would rather browse and chatt sweet nothings than pick up a book to read. even their life is a "summary" nothing "comprehensive"

Ikpeazu is officially an Arsenal supporter... confirmed GONER

Ikpeazu is the governor and remains so. Period! Uche Ogar is one of the subsidy criminals that put Nigeria in its current state. Ikpeazu is from Aba and he's already working to restore Ana's lost glory whole Ogar us from the same locality as the two stupid governors that destroyed Abia. Ikpeazu's Abia South has not smelled the government house for the past 16 years while Abia Central and Abia North has held sway for 8 years each whole abandoning the town that supplies 80% of Abias IGR.

Ikpeazu's Abia South people have kept cool for 16 good years on the basis of the gentlemanly agreement that one of thier sons will be in Government house cone 2015.it came to pass. Thier son is working hard to restore Aba, the pride of Abia, the Japan of Africa and his own hometown and an impostors oil subsidy criminal is coming to be a governor in a state he did not campaign in? What rascality!

Ikpeazu's Abia South/Ukwa Ngwa people make up 65% of the total population of Abia having about 9 out of the total 17 LGAs in Abia, pray tell me how would theyot be able to vote in their own in a free and fair election?

Ikpeazu has worked for Abians, heading the Abia State environmental protection Agency, and served in that capacity until his election, Abia State Government is his boss. His tax is deducted at source. Why not question the Abia board of internal revenue if there are any irregularities in his tax receipt?

A people's quietness, hoteliers and hospitality shiould not be mistaken for cowardice and stupidity. A word is enough for the wise

all you have said still doesn't change the fact that your brother is a stooge

NOETHNICITY:
Of course I m talking of a Muslim soldier! Maybe u re yet to come to terms with our biased against Islam the christian world ve become.

in a society where you keep seeing someone like Shekarau brandishing AK-47 with Koran, that is expected

...and every one under APC is a certified saint including Tinubu and Ameachi.

...and who traces the money that the presidents have stolen, they are in "Panama papers?

some people no get shame for this life... is it that our politicians don't have work?

this is what a local government chairman should be doing.

adeaks:
Even if he caused an accident, it was while he was discharging his official duty. Why not report him or hand him over to the police. If it was a police man with a loaded gun, would they have done the same

I think those guys already had an innate hatred for FRSC officials and this was a good excuse for them to take their pound of flesh out of one man.

na today we don dey report?
after reporting you become the hunted

some people's brain needs "recorrective" slap to bring it back to "default"

NOETHNICITY:
If a Muslim does this the hypocrites wud scream violent religion! Even the media will enjoy to highlight and overblow the whole tin.
Not that its a bad act though considering the prevailing circumstances.

are you talking of a Muslim soldier or just a Muslim? think again,because this guy is a soldier

atinicrown:
Please how do I share things on nairaland?

what are you sharing, hope money?

he sure belongs to the "Nehemia Generation"

with one hand we hold our weapon, with another we build.. just in case of so Sambalath and Tobia

it is really good that we are the ones been critical of lack of development in the Imo.. that is real democracy

before any outsider criticizes us we must first see the black spots and seek to better it,that way our leaders must know that no amount of image laundry can safe them from the demand for good governance

FanYogo1:
Never trade with an Ibo man again. You've been forwarned. We've had many threads like this one pop up.




It is about Ibos. That's why Yorubas will always control the business sector while y'all continue with your trading. .

you are a He-Goat.
the guys that are selling phones stuck-up with foofoo in computer village Ikeja, are they Igbo too?

I know how many times I was cheated and defrauded at OSHODI, I never called any tribe even knowing fully well they were Yoruba

Kiish:
Uncle, where is your own?!!

what he said is absolutely true.
sometimes we need to just face the message and without been judgemental.

our architects are so unimaginative.
if you think our cities are not transforming as they should, then our architects has got the major blame.
as a man thinks, so is he.. our landscape is a product of the thinking ideas of our building designers.

meanwhile.. @op you are not giving answers to the question been asked.?

SANDOSKI:
