@poster,
You are still pained by the new Ohaneze president, sorry for your loss.
Mbata says he's Igbo, and Wike says he's not Igbo. Fine, case closed. Move on!
Go find another pre-occupation in your life. Don't kill yourself with this Ikwerre is not Igbo bs, you hear.

bcomputer101:
Please, when will EFCC auction this vehicles?. Abeg, I will pay 500k for that Venza

Just tell them that you support Tinubu, and they will give it to you for #10k

Government can't subsidize power, healthcare, petrol, education, etc; it still subsidizes pilgrimages and expensive life style of the officers.

Similar to another case in UK a few years ago where a Yoruba man stabbed a policeman and held the blood stained knife until he was arrested. He was proud to be practicing his religion of peace!

Polycarp?
If he had Igbo last name, you would have seen how fast his full name would have been used to caption the article.

Do Igbos care?

Government needs to step into this barbaric act. It's useless, superstitious, and doesn't work. If mining human parts works as advertised, trust me the outside world would have beaten us to it.
Most importantly, it's dangerous and capable of spreading pandemic throughout the nation.
No tribal bashing here, but I think that the government- local, state, and federal should mount an education campaign to educate illiterates, young and impressionable youths that mining human parts in cemetery will not enrich you.

FearlessYoruba:
Your useless Jesus can't save one of his sheep and you are blaming Yoruba.

Imagine if someone says this about your pedophilic prophet!

Kreesxxx:
We prefer this than being called Igbo prince. It is not a personal view but an average Ikwerre person's view.
Make una leave this unity. E no go work. An Ikwerre man knows that you people are up to something. We are in our guard. We don't want to be taken unawares.

A true son of Ikwerre you're not.
Mr. Binin slave.

Kudos to former President Buhari for agreeing to appear as a witness for Nigeria at the ongoing arbitration hearing over the fraudulent power contract that was awarded by Obasanjo in 2003. That is a true definition of patriotism. This explains the constant visit of the Attorney General to Daura in the last three months. We won against P&ID scam put together by the Jonathan administration, we will win against Sunrise power scam.

Buhari is not stupid, he knows what these international courts can do to a former president's hidden stolen assets in places like UK and middle east.
He is in Paris not for love of Nigeria, which he doesn't have. Niger republic, maybe. He's there by force, because the criminal former dictator president has no other place to hide.

PressMyButton:
I hope y'all reading and learning how to tackle insecurity. Copy the template and give it to your Governors. This is how to know a region that takes security as priority. Your Governors are collecting security votes but what are they using for?, to carry foreign hOes?, or lavish recklessly?. You keep pampering Ipob terrorists but you keep running to SW for safe abode. Is it until SW enact a law to build a wall around their borders before you take security seriously in your region. We are watching.

I know ISWAP members and sympathizers by the way they try to derail any meaningful discussion about the terror group.

Even the thread said that the security team came from headquarters, likely Abuja, they suffered leakages, and yet continued to work on the issue. Where did it say that an exemplary action of Yoruba governor saved the day?
Yet, your small illiterate brain automatically locked on to IPOB out of nowhere. Is political and tribal afflictions making you stuuupid, or you have been like that before politics set in?

yarimo:
If any court should invite OBI, obi and his rascal Obidients will be claiming persecution all over the place. Mteeeew

Congratulations, you have earned your daily #100 naira for mentioning Obi, not matter how unrelated to this topic.

Tochi360:
Do you have to do this una boring tribal rants on this thread? Now you go invite shameless tribalistic hate-filled agbayas like Golan007, Godwin4444 helinues aka buckeyemedia etc una go use una boring Yeye Igbo vs Yoruba rants pollute dis thread.

Don't forget the Yoruba man who lived in PH Krexxxxs.

While my sympathy goes to the family of the deceased, the unprofessional, arrogant behavior of some security agents, especially Fulani folks while operating in Igboland deserves condemnation.
Also, the thread is a dog whistle tribalism. Does every sad incident like this publish tribal names?

Finquas:
Seun isn't a juvenile.. he's a grown Adult and understands the place of basic Standards in running enterprises.. if he wants to allow bigots and ethnic charlatans run down his hard earned business ,, the joke is on him.

Haaaaaah!
If you know how much traffic you generate for him attacking each other, you'd understand why he smiles to the bank every month!

Middle belt, middle belt.
When did their anger to south to Igbos?

Vision101:
Why did you lay off all civil servants from the old Imo state? For this man to have this position there must have been Abia connection. Either mother is from Abia or his married to an Abian. This is the norm.

How are those people from Lagos whose mothers or wives are Igbo?

The greedy governors; didn't they reject direct allocation to LGAs?
Their interests are not usually for the good of the nation but their stomachs.

Welcum:
Let them be careful how they politicize Christianity.

But you want sharia for everyone?

cybersoldiers:
Yoruba cursed fool.

Igbos bought all lands in Land with their money and made animals like you their tenants. But Yorubas have been looting endlessly the resources of Rivers state since they divided the Igbos after the war.

Yorubas are economic terrorists in Nigeria.

Skull miners and human heart Eaters. Yorubads are not supposed to be in same country with any sane ethnic group....

See how you bandits have been crying that brothers reunited, no be juju dey worry una?

Ikwere Igbos have come stronger and will soon recover all oil companies occupied by Yorubads.

Another reason for this active and intensive Yoruba involvement in Ikwerre issues is Lagos. If they can cause enough bad blood between Ikwerre people and Igbos, Igbos will more likely keep their investment in Lagos instead of considering Port Harcourt. We know the game.

Tochi3:
liars, hypocrites, double faced creatures, revisionist, haters, tribalist, chameleons..are not to be taken serious..

..they have no reasonable mentality..they live on lies depending on how much they are paid...

My brother, hypocrisy, tribalism, and sycophancy come in different colors.
Nnamdipapa is Igboman, promoting neutrality, patriotism, and civility- even a blind man can see that!

OP is a typical tribalistic, myopic, and unprincipled political operative who usually begins with claiming the opposite side( I despise APC), then he becomes neutral( why don't we support our country, elections are over), then he pretends to omit and confuse facts(such as ignoring the fact that Bayo Onanuga runs a special department with federal money devoted solely to attacking Obi for whatever he says, does, or didn't do or say.

While Reno Omokri is the most vocal member of the Ministry of Peter Obi affairs under Tinubu, NL has an abundant supply of cheap political operatives, bots, and misinformation specialists working full time to attack Obi who's not even in government, and has nothing to do with the price of 1 cup of garri.

An honest poster would have started more broadly, and not laser focused on the so called Tinubu adversaries who are doing exactly what Tinubu did when he was in the opposition.

Bulldozer90:
Ok. Let's wait for helinus and the other bot called yarimo

In mourning.

MadamExcellency:
You can speak for yourself but not for all Ikwerre.

Ikwerre has a mythology that says Ikwerre and Ngwa are the same siblings from the same father and same mother.

If the Ngwas are Igbos. The Ikwerre are Igbos. They are offsprings of the same father.

Agreed, Wike and every other Ikwerre person has the right to hold any view so far as it is within the ambit of the law and not counter-productive. You can define yourself in any manner you deems fit. But you are not in anyway speaking for all Ikwerre people.

It is important to state for record purposes that historically Ikwerres fully identified themselves as Igbos without suffering harms. Chief Joseph Wobo, member of the Council of Chiefs of Eastern Nigeria, clearly stated he was an Igbo. Nobody can dismiss him as he defended Ikwerreland in colonial Nigeria

Sir Jackson Mpi, first and last Ikwerre to be conferred with Knight of the Order of British Empire, OBE, by Queen Elizabeth II of England in 1960, identified himself as Igbo. From the ancient Kingdom of Isiokpo, Sir Mpi worked tirelessly for Igbo advancement.

Dr Obi Wali was the first Ikwerre PhD holder, senator and university lecturer. He was also the only Ikwerre in the 1978 Constituent Assembly where he was selected one of the 50 Wise Men that drafted the 1979 constitution. The great Dr Wali identified fully with his Igbo heritage and was gruesomely assassinated defending it.

Okogbule Wonodi, first Ikwerre registrar of any university, first and only Ikwerre poet and Paramount title Holder of Eze Ohiaemeru. Ohiaemeru, where you have present-day Comprehensive College in Borokiri, was his ancestral home before the British vacated them between 1913-1923. Wonodi remained a respected member of Nzukor Igbo and Ohanaeze Ndigbo till the end of his life.

Patriot Emmanuel Aguma was former Mayor of Port Harcourt. As Principal of St John College, Diobu, he was the first Ikwerre to head any college. One of six pre-independence Ikwerre University graduates, former administrator of Port Harcourt Province in the defunct Peoples Republic of Biafra, first Ikwere minister in 1979, Aguma remained a member of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Emmanuel Oriji was a respected local government administrator, traditional ruler, a commissioner in old Rivers and core Igbo nationalist. The immediate past Deputy Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Isaac Wonwu, is an illustrious Ikwerre son from Elele. He is known to assert his Igbo identity. Equally valid, Chief Jackson Womenazu from Rumukrushi in the Evo Kingdom is a member of the Elders’ Council of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

In colonial documents, written when Igbos had no capacity to influence anything, Ikwerres also defined themselves as Igbos. When Ikwerre leaders presented their case before the 1957 Sir Henry Willinks Commission, Wobo declared that Ikwerres were Igbos and Port Harcourt to Onitsha was Igboland.

The cream of Ikwerreland have asserted their Igboness. Most illustrious sons and daughters. Tell me any Ikwerre whose CV can match those of Mpi, Wobo, Aguma, Wonodi, Dr Wali or Amaechi?

Thanks so much for your erudite write up. Let's wait for our Yoruba inspired colleagues to make another senseless argument.

Only in ala Igbo will find this. That's because Igbos are NOT threatened by other people's achievements.

Softmirror:
What about the Fulani community in Abia?!

They're in the forest, harassing, killing, and raa.aaping Abia women, all in the name herding cows.

helinues:
Perhaps peace pro were drunk where writing this epistle

Yes, drunk with religious extremism!
With names like Abdulmutallab, Abdulrazq, MURIC, etc; it's easy to see why they are focused on shifting attention from BH and murderous Fulani herdsmen to other benign groups.

Rich4god:
If the SS and SE have an atom of sense, they should forget their difference and grievances with the SW(at least for now) and throw their support behind Tinubu.

Yes Tinubu did not start on a good note, but if you are a sensible Nigerian, you will see that some of his policies are good for this nation. Also some of his actions have dismantled some cabals holding this country to ransom.

Tinubu have done what some southern presidents haven't done and we all are seeing the reactions from the north.

From all indications, the north might try to make sure those policies didn't work or even try to make sure that Tinubu didn't win second term. And the north can't stop Tinubu second term except if the SE/SS backs them up. All these noise about the north deciding who wins an election is because one or two region in the south is supporting their candidates. The north alone can't deliver a president same way as the south alone can't.

For now, let the south come together and support Tinubu, later we can continue our tribal fight but if we want this country to have a little bit of development and peace, we need Tinubu to complete his presidency and if possible and another southerner with his ideology takes over from him. Somebody like Wike.

You were doing well, so well. Unfortunately, your last sentence killed everything.
Installing Wike has been shown to be a very bad idea.
The average SE and SS voter has above average education level, and capable of discerning political issues. They voted Yaradua, OBJ, and GEJ, but shawned Buhari, and wisely too.
Some of us are appreciative of Tinubu's fundamental changes to what ails Nigeria, and it's going to help him in the future.
I think Tinubu is in a better position to make these changes than anyone from the south.
