Don1987:
I am Ika man from Ekwuoma, an Igbo man to the core not a womanizer. I don't see anything Linking me with Benin. If there is any I believe my language would have been Benin despite the proximity. The only and only language similar to Ika is Igbo. Although few migrated from Benin which they met people already settled and accommodated them. That is not a enough reason link us with the Benin

I am wondering why there's so much bitterness and anger for any Ika man that identifies as Igbo by mostly Yorubas and some other tribes, wetin una do them?
Why the desperation amongst Nigerians to ensure that there's a division between Ika and your Igbo kinsmen for years, it now looks suspicious to me 😳

In Abuja some years back as a youth, I saw firsthand that to get job in federal government you must deny your Igbo roots and you must never indicate you are Igbo or else you will be denied promotion. This made a lot of Igbos from Delta and Edo never to fill Igbo as tribe in forms

KINGTELLER:
Ika person speaks Ika as a dialect. It's mixture of Igbo and Benin language, though the igbo language is predominant.

The problem Ika people have with Igbos is that the core Igbos dont regard Ika as part and parcel of their clans, even when it comes to political appointment, Igbos dont recognise an Ika position as Igbo slot.

Not true, appointments in Nigeria are not based on tribe but geopolitical zones and state. I have not seen any Igbo deny Ika man who identify as Igbo of their rights, they are even given preference for recognising their kinsmen across the River Niger

Bendeco2020:
Both Onicha Ugbo (Delta), Onicha Orona (Delta) and Onicha Ado of Anambra are same people

From Igbanke to Onitsha are Under Eze Chima clan

I heard Onicha Ugbo is the most senior amongst the Onicha brothers and the Obi of Onitsha (Ado) pays him homage as elder brother?

gidgiddy:
I'm still wondering how they changed Igbo-Uzo, to Ibusa

Or UmuOkoro to Rummukoro

PlayMaker14:
We are pure Igbo, nothing like "Delta Igbo"

Pure Igbo and proud.


Proud Issele-Uku Son.

Why are our Yoruba brothers very bitter about Anioma having a state and relating with our kit and kin across the Niger River, the Ooni will travel to Brazil and Caribbean, Benin Republic and Togo and claim them as Yorubas but cannot allow allow Anioma people to have an identity as a sub-Igboid group like Owerri, Aba or Nsukka man with whom they share a lot of affinity with them.

Its like some tribes in Nigeria doesn't want Anioma to progress because identifying as Igbos will give Anioma the population and numbers and stronger voice to be forceful in pushing their desires for an equitable country 🤔
Now I know that subjugation of Anioma and Igbos in Nigeria is a deliberate policy which they are afraid is beginning to crumble

Efuaye:
In 1984-‘85 specifically, as secondary school students, we were made to make contributions to support anti-apartheid activities in South Africa. In fact, all our school teaching board had the inscription “Apartheid is a crime against humanity”
You couldn’t turn anywhere without being mobilised to stand in support for the freedom of our South Africa brothers and sisters

All through my primary school that inscription was on every black board in the school

Wickedness of the highest order is poor people killing a poor security guard to steal while they hail their president who flies to France and came back to swear in a CJN and flies again back to France cruising on his new jet

The issue of Anioma State is like the biblical story of the 2 women who brought their babies to King Solomon to decide the actual owner of the living baby, while the first woman (Yorubas) agreed that the baby should be cut up into two the second woman (Igbos) is asking the king not to harm the baby that in future when the baby grows it will recognise its true mother

So how do I navigate this current economic quagmire, I don't sleep well anymore because of struggling to feed the family and prices continue to rise, I can't remember the last time I walked into a boutique to get a new shirt or shoe, I have never been in this situation for years.
May God come to the aid of every man and woman still doing the right thing to put food on the table for family 🙏

lexy2014:
how can someone park a truck like that without any warning to oncoming road users?

Because he knows he won't go to jail, he will settle Police and tell his family, na so God want am and xase closed

A sad day for Nigeria football, may God comfort his family and Football lovers. RIP sir

My advice to everyone reading this, please don't just read every post here, check the Moniker first before reading a comment and those Monikers (they are always on page one) you identify as potentially damaging to your brain cells kindly skip over them for the sake of your mental health even if they have 6000 fake Likes, never get swayed by LIKES to read their convoluted comments because THE LIKES are also manipulated by those Monikers who preach only bigotry and ethnocentrism from morning to night on this platform.

It's for your mental health, the country is hard already don't let anyone to spoil your mood here

Pharaoh4rin:
The guy doesn't look kidnapped. E be like say the NYSC commandant staged this act to make some money off Benue, C/river and FG. In Nigeria, anything can happen.

Stop talking nonsense because he is not your relation

donphilopus:
You enjoy writing rubbish on this forum. Your kids must be so proud of their dad.

I am happy you have finally acknowledge that the guy writes so much rubbish here, you used to agree with him because of sentiments

Hemanwel:
OP, you expect me to use my hard-earned data to open...what exactly?? Anyways, I'm just here to remind y'all that we still have three more years of Tinubulation. So, brace up, guys!

I just dey manage data and just waiting for someone to watch and narrate what happened there

Zico5:
But other states have been voting out bad leaders except south east. When you are ready to face the truth the door will open for u. You cannot rule twice in south west state if u are a bad leader. That's the bitter truth.

It's not about the people not doing the right thing, it's about the system. Despite over voting in Kogi the results still stands, INEC simply announced prewritten results except you want us to pretend and its beyond the average voters in Kogi irrespective of party affiliations

Zico5:
What really baffle me is the insensitivity of these people. They are calling him supreme governor, that he was install as the governor by supreme Court. Then he beat the next opponent by wide margin in the next election.
Can this even happen in Osun or Oyo state. It is as if Imo indigenes were sleeping during the election. Probably they want Tinubu right from Abuja to come and make a change for them.
Instead of asking themselves why they love money to the extent of allowing evil to prevail they are attacking federal government and INEC. Where is sense in this.

How old are you, its like you don't know how elections are conducted in states with the deployment of federal might and heavily armed security to snatch ballot boxes and you should know how the react when it's south east

Hope Uzodinma had more votes in the election than Peter Obi, Tinubu and Atiku presidential votes combined, meanwhile there was a serious voter aparthy during the governorship election

Obi doesn't like wasting time and money on frivolities. Moreover, she is busy with her business just like his children, the daughter is a full time school teacher while the son is also busy in his film studio.
Even as governor he travels alone on economy to attend meetings in Abuja and carries his own bag without aides, then lodge in a simple Rock View Hotel.
Traveling with his wife will be a lot of inconvenience as you need to give her time to make up and choose the appropriate clothes when he can travel with 2 black shirts to commission his Humanitarian projects in Kano in the morning and before noon he is attending the graduation of a nursing school in Kogi.
During the campaigns she was with him in so many rallies.
In conclusion the OP asking this question no get common sense

Kekere Ekun is in charge, she issues the worst electoral judgements. Just try to out rig your opponent and you will get 'justice' from her

Omoluyi:
Must everything has tribal coloration? We can never move forward this way. Every tribe in Nigeria participated in ENDSARS protest.

Reno Omokri wrote a long epistle and circulated it on Nairaland castigating only Igbos for the fallout of the protests and no attempt was made by non Igbos to call him to order but they rather cheered him on

Lifestone:
Most times you talk before thinking. Just do a Google search. You will know that Chinasa was arrested and taken to Court. He was sent to Kirikiri prison.
Abeg don't derail this thread.

You lied again, what's his surname?
It was a fictional person promoted by Nairaland to discredit the protest and castigate Igbos

The explanation by NNPC is meant for Ronus, I didn't read most of it because I am already biased against NNPC

Tinubu is using his company Oando to buy up Nigeria oil sector under his watch as Minister of Petroleum

ivolt:
The current number of lawyers is irrelevant.

Since CJN is based on seniority in the supreme court.
The question you should ask yourself is how many Igbos have been
skipped from becoming the CJN when they happen to be the most senior on the bench.

That would help you see the true states of things.

The system is manipulated not only against Igbos but other Nigerians as well, the guy who was recently sacked by Tinubu as Chairman of CCT was already a judge of a high court before he became 40 years by appointment from Buhari, he was already being primed for future CJN, stop arguing nonsense

Salewa97:
They should go and ask their ancestors what they did wrong.

The ancestors must have been behind their bad lucks

You are just too noisy, logout from Nairaland for 2 days to get back your sanity, you are addicted to this site and its really bad

Abbeytoy:
So no channel is showing Chelsea?

Even Chelsea Agbero supporters no gree waste their time to watch Conference League qualifying matches for a big club like Chelsea.
Even Enyimba and Kano Pillars will prefer to play in CAF Champions League with Al Ahly or Raja Casablanca any day than play Nordsjeland or Ferencvarosi in Europa like Chelsea is doing

TDIsaac:
Misleading topic and writeup.
The Conference league has yet to start. This is just the qualification stage.

That's even worse that Chelsea is playing qualifications stage and you expect me to watch that? I will rather watch Catholic Women CWO playing against Grandfathers in a novelty match than this at least they will make you laugh when they use their hands to throw the ball inside the net to score a goal

All these political gatherings cum wedding ceremonies of northern elites will not shake Tinubu, instead of Tinubu to lose second term he will implement Regional Government and make the centre to be weak, then everyone will have more control over their resources.

My Northern friends who were promoting Musulum-Musulum ticket last year feel so ashamed of themselves when I forwarded pictures of Tinubu's Presidential jet, Escalade, Yatch and that he has now privatised NNPC to himself, then I posted videos of hungry children and rioters from the core north and reminding them how helpless the north has become and at the mercy of Tinubu who is currently recharging his batteries in France with its inability to tackle insecurity and hunger and praying for palliative at Tinubu's discretion, them no fit respond

All Ronus are hereby summoned to an urgent meeting to defend this accusation of spending N150B on a second hand jet. Ronu oooo

Ofodirinwa:
fulani killing fulani

These idiots invited these bandits in incase they needed to physically overthrow Jonathan. Jonathan did not give them the chance and now the ant infested firewood they stole has invited lizards.

This world somehow get balance.

Gobir is the original Hausa owners of Sokoto and that's the original name of Sokoto, the Fulanis renamed Gobir as Sokoto after the conquest of Usman Dan Fodio

Sarkin Gobir is the real Hausa Traditional ruler of Gobir (Sokoto) the Sultan is the invading Fulani ruler who deposed the Sarki and took over the Hausas lands.

The bandits who killed the this Hausa ruler are Fulanis and it seems the Jihad against Hausas by the Fulanis continues despite all of them claiming to be Muslims

In simple language Tinubu used NNPCL money to buy OANDO from himself then left open a loophole in the deal to be used by OANDO to retake what they sold to NNPCL at a give away.
We warned Nigerians about this criminal empire but tribalism and religious sentiments clouded their sense of reasoning
