is unfortunate that everybody in nairaland claim to know everything...who told you that there is no oil (fossil gas) in ukwa east &west of abia state? I don't comment on this kind of post but just yesterday some guy that have never been to abia state were busy saying thrash about ibo's (akirika obu,is an ndoki village) claiming akwa ibom land and just that same yesterday this same ukwa ibo's became ijaws. That fact remains that in some part of ukwa &obingwa LG's a stranger can handly know when he is in abia state or akwa ibom.Infact,the go to same church,school &market. I don't stand to gain anything if ukwa or oyibo is part of biafra but a trip to the locality will convince you.

Bros per the bolded, Akirika Obu has never been part of Akwa Ibom or even South-Eastern state. There was a serious clash between Ibibio and Igbo over Akirika Obu in 1974. Although there is a LGA in Akwa Ibom State that is predominantly Igbo, all the areas around Ndoki and in the former Asa County Council later Ukwa Local government remain Igbo in Igbo land.

Ndokis are not Ijaw!, Ijaws are not Andonis!, Andonis are not Igbos!, Igbos are not Ikwere!


Besides the Oyigbos, the Etches, Omumas and other Igbos who have long embraced their Igboness with open arms, is there anyone who knows who he is in Rivers state any more?

Per the bolded, what arrant nonsense. Ikwerre is not an ethnic group. It is idiocy to write Igbo is not Ikwerre. Igbo by any degree is nit in the same level with Ikwerre. Although wrongly pronounced and written, Ikwerre is a foolishly Anglicized nomenclature. Of course, It is foolish thought to insinuate Igbo are not Ikwerre. Igbo cannot and will not be Ikwerre however Ikwerre have been Igbo.

This post is another brazen show of idiocy by a Nigerian. May I ask watch them for what? Nigeria is a domain for idiocy and nothing gives out hope that the products of the domain shall strike a fire on the progressive front.

PDP in Nairaland is Dead!

I am sorely pained. Not because I belong to any party as I am no partisan but simply because I believe and know that democracy can only be democracy when there is a vibrant opposition.

All those rejoicing that APC is gradually taking over every sphere of our political life are only doing so out of sheer ignorance and outright folly. Because as we look on and jubilate at our winner-takes-all sort of politics as have evidently displayed by APC, so shall we all foolishly found ourselves in a dictatorship before we realize what grave damage we have done to our future.


Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely...

I did not know monkeys are forgetful until now.

Kestolovee95:
I thought Tonyebarcanista was challenging and threatening people for calling it Iguocha and you agreed with him. Why are confusing guys yourselves. A dey laugh.

The dude is a dumbass junk who claimed Ikwerre yet does not know the original name and meaning of Anglicized word - "Ikwerre".

Culled from Ipob

IGBO, HAUSA, YORUBA are different people with different Language, Religion, blood, mentality, culture, food and life-style. We were never one until one British harlot forced us in one cage and gave it the name ZOO (Nigeria). Since then, The TIGER, the GOAT and the SHEEP in the cage are fighting each other and will keep on the fight until freedom is achieved. NOTE; You can't put the Tiger, the Goat and the sheep together and expect them to live peacefully, is either you are gambling with their lives or with their resources.... The TIGER want to be free from the zoo, give him freedom NOW.

# www.ipob.com


So in the Zoo(Nigeria), the Tiger(Igbo) is running away from the Goat(Hausa) and the Sheep(Yoruba) ..This is an insult to wildlife..What an analogy..What will make a TIGER run from domestic animals is what i need Igbos and Biafran activists alike to explain to me..There is more to this than what a rational mind can ponder.

For the above idiotic fantasy to appear in reality, Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba should be independent entities or nations. It is apparent idiocy to waste forum's bandwidth with British contraption called Nigeria that defies any form of logic. It is a moronic endeavor to house meat eaters in the place with grass eaters yet decreed that the meat eaters should not even look the way of the grass eaters.

Most Nigerians should not regard themselves as educated. What is known as Republic of Biafra was the defunct eastern region of Nigeria. What is so hard to understand about the Republic of Biafra? Ndiigbo had never monopolistically laid claim on Biafra however moronic detractors have been busy making Biafra an Igbo machination.

Keneking:
Great


Eto’o said one of the most effective ways to defeat Boko Haram and its ideology would be through education, which he called “the most formidable weapon.”

- Where is Kanu?
- Where is Tijani?
- Where is Rufai?
- Where is Keita?
- Where is Babayaro?

lalasticlala ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You are a dumbass jackass for asking about Kanu. I hope you did not mean Nwankwo Kanu. Boko Haram is northern Nigeria creation and should be responsible its atrocities.

nigerianvenom:
Buhari is corruption personified

A dumbass who has no recollection where he sat for WASC. The jackass would not have made Sargent in the Nigerian army if not for corruptible machinations of Tafawa Balewa and NPC government. It is plain idiocy to associate Muhammadu Buhari's name with fight against corruption. Nigeria is a renowned domain of dunces.

Euro31:
Benjamin Adekunle speech during the war...

Adekunle was a key champion of the food blockade to Biafra. In a wartime interview he had with Randolph Baumann of Stern Magazine in Igweocha (published on August 18, 1968), he stated:[3]

ADEKUNLE: In the section of the front that I rule—and that is the whole south front from Lagos to the border of Kamerun—I do not want to see the Red Cross, Caritas Aid, World Church delegation, Pope, Missionary, or UN delegation.

STERN: Does that mean that the many thousands of tons of food that are stored in Lagos will never get to the refugee camps in your section of the country?

ADEKUNLE: That’s exactly what I am saying.

STERN: But you said yourself that most of the refugees in the part you captured are not Ibos.

ADEKUNLE: I don't care if they are ibos or not. I want to block all foreign aids from a getting to that part of the country as long as this whole people have not given up yet.

STERN: Do you sometimes feel sympathy for the Ibo children?

ADEKUNLE: I have learned a word from the British, which is “sorry”! That’s how I want to respond to your question. I want to win this war for the sake of Nigeria crude oil. Therefore I have to kill the enemies to win this war. Sorry! The End.

Only moronic fool does not know that Nigeria precipitated war of attrition against Biafra on the urging of British mainly because of crude oil.

He is a dumbass loser. Who would want to play for an imposter as a coach or go to war with a snitch?

chubbyswit:
i still didnt feel the boys irregardless of scoreline, hope they improve on their pass accuracy before the next match. Today is my birthday guys, celebrate with me by clickling on the like button

Your point is smack on the mark. The boy's ball control is atrocious.

NRIPRIEST:
I wanna know why Amunike is playing Chukwueze on the right flank? That kid is deadlier in the left side and he is a natural lefty. I know Bamgboye is equally a great player but Chukwueze is more calculative and very skillful.

He would be more deadlier if played in the front along with Osimhen.

ChelseaUCL2012:
Udoh, the goalkeeper

oshimen
chukwueze
nwakali
essien

are the players to look out for in the future

Lazarus and Anumudu too.

ChelseaUCL2012:
who else thinks chukwueze is our best player?

I do think arguably he is the best and technically sound.

Candyrain:
Now that you've realized your mistake you should go edit it. Get rid of it.

Are you happy yet?

Donarozzi:
Ezeagu, I cannot believe that you drew the map of Igboland and shaded out some portions questioning whether or not they would agree to join the Igbo country (Refer to your first map on this topic, and please make the right corrections immediately). The integrity and wholeness of Igboland is non-negotiable. Igboland is one indivisible entity. In the event of a referendum, the entire Igbo people will participate irrespective of their geopolitical regions. So, a referendum is based on the indigenous Igbo people and Igboland, and not on geopolitical regions. Secondly, Igboland is incomplete without Bonny and Opobo islands. So, make further corrections to your map by including Bonny and Opobo. Thanks.

Per the bolded, the correct Igbo names are Ubani and Opu Obu (Igwenga).

Ngwaukwu1:
Dede, I think the person you quoted, was actually implying that Anioma people were wrongly excluded in the initial map by Ezeagu! That's how it comes across to me any way.

Nwadede, you could not be more correct. I have apologized to Nwanneanyi Nwanyi

DelticStephEn:
Guy your map is Nonsense.
have you Conduct anything in Anioma to know where we stand before drawing this Your Nonsense Map?
You guys are d one that is always Encouraging d west and others to divide us.
You better remove did nonsense map

Please disregard my previous response to your post. I apologize!!!

Ngwaukwu1:
Dede, I think the person you quoted, was actually implying that Anioma people were wrongly excluded in the initial map by Ezeagu! That's how it comes across to me any way.

Nwannaya, it will be prudent to err on the part of posterity. The map is as incomplete as road work in Nigeria. It will not take long time before few loudmouthed ninnies make it favorable example.

TonyeBarcanista:
My Dear, it is very simple...
1. The OP is an impostor that creates account today using the name of Etche just to prove that he's Etche.. You should know the code. But no need to argue. Let him fulfil his fantasy

Until you restate Amaikiri ( Ama and Ikiri) from the useless Amachree as well as Ama Onye Anabo from Amanyenabo, you are simply an imposter as Ijo.

..

I beg of those who do not know the actual boundary of Igbo land to shy away from creating bogus art forms that tend to obfuscate. When time arrives, the true Igbo land shall be surprisingly known.

This is one of the reasons for creation of Republic of Igbo land. If this entity materializes tomorrow, most of us will come back home to contribute to the development of Igbo land on pro bono.

The so-called Ijo have been known to have bitten the finger that fed it. I guess the Efik of the Bakassi peninsula can have the same opportunity to spew crap like some of these ill-informed expendables on this forum.

What does it matter in killing a useless turncoat?

hummerwise:
sometimes i read sum comments and i laf...
some would sit at the comfort of their home behind an enabled browsing phone bin fed and patted by their parents thinking and hoping some people would go to war on their behalf so as to achieve some kind of selfish interest,,,

WHAT YOU SEE, WATCH ON TV AND READ ABOUT ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM YOU WITNESSING THE WAR URSREF...

DO NOT BITE MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW..

this goes to every tribe in Nigeria,,

You are typical idiotic African who thinks that self-determination is an act of war. Why would anybody want to fight war because Ndiigbo demand to be left alone in a space they can call home? Nigeria is joke even Gowon attested to it on August 3, 1966 when he said "there is no basis for Nigerian unity which has been so badly rocked, not only once but several times". However, the British told him to wakeup from his foolishness.

Pavore9:
l am glad the second speaker who spoke from 1.02 is an elder and from his age did experience the Civil war, said all what l have commented in my various posts.l love where re-echoed my view when he said 'we have not agitated in the states we come from to make things better for our people and we are going to the federal' l have always asked what have our brothers and sisters who have been Governors, Senators, House of Rep members, local government chairmen done with the trillions of Naira South east has received since 1999 as her own share of revenue to develop the 5 states when merged together is not even up to the size of Kogi State? He also brought up the issue of South Sudan which l have many times brought up because l have a personal experience with the South Sudan situation. At the end o fhis contribution l did give him a standing ovation!

What the so-called elder failed to understand remains that the pernicious handout from the federal government is a machination of mockery since there is no federal government presence in Igbo land. Secondly, the so-called elder seemed to be overfed with USA hamburger and forgot about the earth scorch approach against the Ndiigbo. Only way Ndiigbo shall take control of their destiny is breakaway from Nigeria so the it will become imperative that certain national projects are cited in Igbo land without idiotic and political impairment from the center.

TonyeBarcanista:
THE BRIEF HISTORICAL ORIGIN OF NDOKI ETHNIC NATIONALITY AND THE CREATION OF UKWA EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA.

The origin of Ndoki in the 15th Centuries is traced to civil war that broke out in the then powerful Benin Kingdom. This war caused total division of the old Benin Kingdom as series of migrants departed to the East. One of the Migratory groups was the Ijo who settled around Akassa. A part of these group left Akassa towards the Northwards along the Egenni and Orashi Rivers to Oguta. Along the line, they came in contact with the Ibo town of Umunoha in Owerri and Ndizuorgu in the former Orlu Division.

The emigrants pushed southwards settling at Okolomakiri in Azumini creek. They moved from there to a site, now, occupied by Umuagbayi. It was here they broke into two groups. One section to a placed called Okoloma (land of the curlew birds) that later became known as Obani or Bonny. The other section remained behind on the site known as Umuagbayi, Azuogu, Ayama and Obunku.

Part of the emigrants who reached Bonny, retraced their steps back to Opobo along the Imo Rivers and settled or traded with earlier co-emigrants.
It is a truism that going by the migratory era in this context Ndoki people are ancestrally, biologically and anthropologically linked with the Ijos who migrated with them when the war broke out in Ancient Benin Kingdom. Our culture, tradition and practices are explicit and clear on our origin.

It was on the strength of this coupled with struggle for political space that the uncompromised quest to realize a separate or delineated environment where Ndoki and its traits will be noticed and respected propelled our founding fathers to opt for creation of a local government. Thus Ukwa East Local Government Area came into being in 1992 from the defunct Ukwa Local Government Area.

The initiators and proponents of its creation saw it as a meaningful objectives and welcome development hence it proffered diversified opportunities to complement the effort of our ancestors where distinct origin, ideas, values, knowledge, institution, belief, socio-economic and political environment would be homogenously provided to synthesize the practice of our common good which refers to as “a social state which guarantees each person his/her rightful place in a community in which he/she can freely develop his/her God-given talent to attain bodily, spiritual and moral perfection and become richer in internal and external goods through his/her services to the community”. The geo-political formation of Ukwa East in particular meant to depend upon this was targeted at drawing the attention of National and state governments to the backwardness of Ndoki land primarily occasioned by marginalization coming only from their politically induced self-development.

This is why it is unacceptable and should be discouraged especially when often times, most of the projects the dominant people in the position of trust managed to site at Ndoki land in Ukwa East are subsumed under Ukwa West Local Government this anti-delineation practice orchestrated by NDDCs administrative Map has continued to attract criticism and condemnation by those who understand the classification.

I dare anyone to provide any historical literature that goes against this. I want to maintain that Ndokis are 100% Ijaws. The Ndokis in Rivers know this. Those in Abia though realise this but having mixed with the Igbos, I will hold my piece.

The above is another silly attempt to sit fact on its head. For the sake of posterity, Ijo is not an ethnic group. The first Europeans that visited the Bight of Biafra in 13 century called the Ngwa-Ubanis that lived by the river banks as jos, hence Ijo.

I would have thrown second glance to this junk if I had not read from the revisionists how they changed Amaikiri (Amakiri) to Amachree. In fact in one of their idiotic essays from twisted minds, they labored to change Mbakamba to Bakamba. Any Arochukwu peep will understand what Mbakamba means.

make the gods strike you as you dey type for there..........make eriwi twist ya neck....i am niger deltan......urohobo....and i stand with biafra...we the people of NIGER DELTA stand with BIAFRA.....you think we have a better chance to be free if not through Biafra......another ogogoro fool wey no understand the game of numbers

Bros, the poster you responded with above post is one of the dumbass southerners who have elevated the herdsmen from the northern region to the position imaginary lords. I wish the dingbat will be transplanted to Islamic Caliphate of Arewa when Nigeria disintegrates.

Ijaws want their own nation. How then would people from Delta and Edo states from a republic with Akwaibom and Cross River?

Who gives a hoot.
