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.

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.

Gajagojo:
You are the one disgracing yourself
So speaking Igbo makes them Igbo?

Why not claim to be English because you speak English

Is every Hausa speaker a Hausa person??

Igbo was a Lingua Franca during and after the slave trade because of population of Igbo slaves who were the most in those parts

Just like Hausa in Northern Nigeria.

While the real Ikwerre people know the truth, some are pushing for Ohaneze leadership, it's Yoruba folks who are energized, crazed, and obsessed with this Ikwerre is not Igbo argument.
The average Igboman really doesn't care about Ikwerre, but na yoruba man go carry am for head.

mrvitalis:
They have confused you by making you believe ESN and their sponsored UGM are the same

Did you really think the sponsors of herdsmen would allow ESN work freely without fighting bank

Maybe you have forgoten how bad Fulani herdsmen issue was

Good point.
Thank you for the honesty. People playing tribal politics with security are unwittingly preparing for attack to happen to them sooner or later.

Gajagojo:
Ikwerre never swore any such oath
They formed Ogbakor Ikwerre before Ohanaeze

If they considered themselves Igbos

WHY DID THEY GO TO THE WILLINKS COMMISSION


Which other Igbo group went there?

This was even before independence and long before Biafra War

Willinks commission was about all those who felt Igbos were taking their opportunities- Ijaws, Efiks, Cameroonians, Igbos and non Igbos. Ikwerre had complained about Akwiwu being made mayor of PH, and other nonsense issues.
You still haven't answered why Ikwerre grandfathers claimed to be Igbos, especially when PH was under Owerri.
Before you go into childish denial of what Ikwerre grandfathers called themselves, note that there's documents showing their applications for jobs in Enugu and Owerri.

So sad, a miniature and inconsequential group will focus attention on themselves with this irrelevant discussion. Igbos don't need Ikwerre, but Ikwerre needs Igbos.

All these institutions in the north makes me wander, what's be benefit to the average Hausa or middle belt man who has been dominated, abused, and used as tissue paper by the Fulani?
"North" is an invocation the smart Fulani makes any time he seeks political relevance, why don't other northerners understand that?

My Imo people never chose Hope, supreme court imposed Hope, and he is ruling for them, not Imo people.

Obaofaba:
Na them

Yes oh, na them.
Like the one in Aso Rock who did drugs and forced to pay.

Bala Mohammed is a smart Fulani supremacist who will do anything to divert attention from his feud with Tinubu and the 400 million naira computer scandal.
While child trafficking is bad and an evil, politicizing it with a tribal dog whistle helps nobody except the politicians.

buckeyemedia:
Was Calabar prison the property of Eastern Nigeria, or The Republic of Nigeria?

Childish question, lacking seriousness.
Historical events are objective, verifiable, and simple facts with little room for subjective manipulation.
For example, Nigeria got her independence on Oct 1st 1960- fact!
The first coup was 1966- fact!
2nd coup was s few months later - fact!
Calabar was in eastern Nigeria, and later Biafran city- fact!
Awolowo was held in Calabar- fact
Ojukwu was governor of eastern Nigeria, and later Buafran head of state- fact!

Go read up a small history and come back to join the discussion, you hear!

While tribal maggots infest this thread and spew venom, let's take a realistic view of the situation:
1. Capital punishment in African school system has been the norm for too long, and needs to be changed.
2. Kindergarten and primary school teachers need to be properly trained and licensed.
3. The school itself that had tolerated and possibly encouraged this behavior must also be brought to book.
4. Government needs to review the licensing of these sub standard schools on a yearly basis.
5. Criminal prosecution of untrained teachers serves mostly a spectator needs, these teachers need to be barred from teaching and interacting with children.
6. Out of every bad teacher caught on tape, there 9 others doing the same or even worse to our children.
7. Bad teachers, criminals, and evil people abound in every tribe, race, religion, and group. Making this another tribal bashing thread doesn't help the kids abused by untrained teachers in unlicensed schools.

They love rewriting History

Gowon Released Awolowo

Here is Awolowo still in his prison clothes going Straight to Gowon to Thank him for releasing him



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4BQJg97EeU?si=FTj2mrRL64fB8100

Apart from drama, PR, and politics, how did Calabar prison transition into Ikoyi prison?
Who facilitated the transfer from the Biafran prison in Calabar to the pomp and pageantry of Ikenne, and the so called PR event at Ikoyi prison?

buckeyemedia:
It was Gowon that released the great Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

Was Gowon in charge of Calabar prison, inside the Republic of Biafra?
Think about it without tribal or political sentiments.

zero8zero:
No, they weren't independent. It was because Atiku had them in his pocket against his boss.

No, not like the rubber stamp we have today

That's probably the last time our legislative arm of government was truly independent.
Given what we have today, I am not sure OBJ 3rd term agenda was too bad after all.

Primary reason for food insecurity in Nigeria is Fulani herdsmen, why didn't they talk about it?

If true, my respect and admiration to Tinubu!

naijaking1:
Funding for ministry of Peter Obi renewed for 2025!

😂😂😂

Before you return her to the village, make sure that you are not the source of the infection. How about going to see a doctor, both of you?

Religion remains the opium of society, but it's worse when you go from basic religious doctrine to swallowing the culture and tradition of the spreading nation, whether it be Arabic or Roman to the detriment of your own indigenous cultures.
Independence for anyone?

olabrad:
It is saddening that many Yoruba Muslims do not know that Sharia law has little to do with religion. It has everything to do with tradition and culture of the Arabs before Islam started.

If you are a Yoruba Muslim and you are rejoicing over imposition of Sharia law on Yoruba land, you are simply saying you want your Yoruba culture to be replaced with pre-islamic Arab culture and tradition.

There is no better definition for an Omo Àlè, Akótilétà than that. Only an Omo àlè Yoruba will say his culture and traditions are less important than that of Arabs.

Only an Omo àlè Yoruba will fight tooth and nail to get Sharia law imposed on Yoruba land.

You Yoruba Muslims may think you are promoting Islam, but you are actually manifesting mental slavery. Some of you even boast that non-Muslim Yorubas are not your Omo Ìyá. You think the only omo ìyá you have are your fellow Muslims from around the world.

The consequence of that is that you feel more connected to Muslim Fulanis and Arabs than your fellow Yoruba people because of a foreign religion that is not yours, according to Quran 14:4, which says Muhammad was only sent to Arabs and not any other tribe!

As a result of that, if Muslim Arabs or Fulanis want to invade Yoruba land, you will open the door to these invaders because of religion.

This makes you Yoruba Muslims clear enemies of the Yoruba People.

Yorubas are known as hospitable people, but you Yoruba Muslims are destroying this hospitality identity of this wonderful tribe because of a foreign religion/culture.

TheNiceGuy and all Yoruba Muslims promoting this evil, posterity will not be kind to you. Threatening me or anybody won't stop you from getting the consequences of your evil actions against the Yoruba Tribe.

Good point my brother, but let's see how fast someone labels you omo Igbo, ipod, or obedient !!!

Kidnapping a bishop is just one of the first steps to bringing sharia to the west.

Shettima will start crying now.. Ask them why their region is the worst in everything negatieve,they will start crying and ranting.
