The day you stop bothering about my opinion may be your last on earth.

fire on.
this PDP people fail to understand that Jona really finished us

coolscott:
Igbos should respect themselves and not portray themselves as needing to be associated with any people to survive.

If the northerners suddenly start affirming that they are (and have always been) brothers with Igbos, how will they feel?

The Hausas...

1) Speaking a different language

3) Having different customs and values

4) Having killed lots of Igbos in the north in the past


I the same way is is not expected of Igbos to disrespect themselves this way wanting to be present day "brothers" with the south-south by pretending we have ever come from the same house.

1) Igbos speak a different language

2) Igbos have different values (like the money-at-all-cost mentality) and a decidedly different reasoning system

3) We don't have any similar ancestry

4) The derogatory name for the people of the SS is even mbamiri just as they call yorubas ofe mmanu. In fact, the name ofe mmanu was coined probably way into colonisation last century. Meanwhile, mbamiri must have been used to refer to the south-south and its people many generations down the line.

With this kind of behaviour the Igbo man has remained largely a diplomatic liability to himself.

Diplomatic actions of today create diplomatic (i.e political) rewards/equity tomorrow.
How far into the future does the Igbo man want to store up minuses for his political fortunes by his self-destructive actions of today?

If you Ijaw continue this way.
believe me.
it's ganna be more hard for you than it is for us

Rose2014:
I even saw where he called GEJ a failure for no good reason o, and that the only good thing Jonathan has done is handing over peacefully(I was like 'what is this guy saying?'. The worst part is that it was uncalled for on that thread but he said it anyway. I guess to show he's no longer a wailer. I'll find it later today and upload.
Now their latest blackmail is using him to tell us we're crying more than the bereaved, or calling us emotional beings except we agree that GEJ is a failure while Buhari(that didn't even know the detailss of our budget before submitting to Nass) is the sucess

Aha, I'm sure he didn't comment on that thread. Quote me if u find his comment on that thread. Go figure

my anger now is that some foolish Igbo like chiwude.
millionaireman
udmaster
igboprince
madenigga
and dikeoha are insulting d good people of Ogba DAT I know very well that have been in support of their Igbo brothers just because that two ijaw criminals and imposters are claiming to be ogba.

TonyeBarcanista:

There are no Igbos in Rivers. All Igbos are immigrants and settlers. You are even ignorant about Rivers, Bayelsa history. I guess you are among the ignorant lot(like Afam) that thinks Ijaw starts and end in Bayelsa state. Ignoramus

nna eh.
all this argument is not necessary.
let us all wait for d "do tyme"

biafranking:
abeg no dey talk wetin you no know biko..
I know he s against your views but respect where he said he came from.
Just like you wey dey claim okrika/ijo and we accept. cest fini.

baba trucky. awbodi? Hope nothin dey scratch yu sha.I see am somtin dey bite u small small as d guy sey make una pack go benin. But no b lie sha. Una be benin lol. But make i yan u..

i detest that word call jews cos me na proud african man..if bob marley wey be white man pikin,born of a black woman,dey claim africa.y wont i? Pls dont ever call us jews biko.

Back to the main topic(rose2012 thread,abeg we need rose2016 shapaly)...

@topic..
Millionaireman. I love the points you classified here for ndi novice..one love.

my own take...
But sincerely, some of the ikwerres, the ogbas,some of the ndokwas and the ikas re not igbos. Pls respect their decisions cos mua de konfus abt their real paternity too.(binis/igbos)

This people dont think like us,they dont travels like us,they dont behaves like us,they dont occupy places like us, they dont act like an actors(they re spectators) like us.They re essence rather than existence. MeanWhile the igbos re existence precedes essense.(jean paul satre point of views)
We the igbos re very calculative,very vibrant, very creative,and
Our lives re different from some of those who strongly belief they re not igbos. Pls stop attaching them with us. some of the people from ikwerre dont understand igbos including my best two friends from ndokwas,surnames of theirs(inyama and ujomoh)though they attached igbos names as their first name,chukwuka and the latter is chibuzor.I bet all easterners on nairaland, you cant give me the meaning of ujomoh or inyama in igbo languages.
I ve a shefriend from ikwerre too, make i no even go there sef.
My igbo brothers, this set of people who fall in this line have mixed- ancestry and they re neither igbo nor bini.They re distinct man..God is great. they re like half caste nwanne..
but the truth is that , some re confused if their fathers re igbo or benin.
Pls let them be.They re ikwerre and they re not igbo, they re ndokwa and they re not igbo likewise the ikas. Pls allow them to decides..
Ogba,ahoada,some of theikwerres,ikas,some of the ndokwas..this tribes re irredemable and they dont look like pure igbos despite the similarity of our names and languages.
so forget them.. Like one of my guy suggested,Referendum is the key to all this bruhaha..
Only time will tell..

rubbish.
people like you shouldn't be on nairaland

Jackrich:
Igbos should first unite themselves in the SE and speak as a people with one voice before looking for their imaginary brothers in Rivers State.

We are not Igbos and can never be but we are a people with distinct identity and we have a name. This is as simple as eating bread and tea.

lols.
ogba man has spoken.
shey na naija we still dey.
you imposters go hearam

HopeAtHand:


@bolded, im sure u were referring to me. Pathetic assumption.

Well, this thread had its moment. I cant revisit this thread again as the appetite is gone.

Just note that your part of Ikwerre isn't really a part of the Iwhorohna history. Maybe u fall into the people from the Wagidi history. Read my message.

glad you know yourself

Rose2014:
Special shout out to Mazi Ugomba and Ikechu278(not sure if I spelt your moniker correctly)

These guys on daily basis defend their identity daily on nl against amidst all kinds of bullying and intimidation

We love and appreciate you more than words can say. With this confession from the president during media chat, your job is done

Happy new year to you guys. May this new year bring you both unmerited favours through Christ our Lord Amen.
To all my other SS Igbos that I missed their names, united we stand

you forgot DelticStephEn.
she is from Owa clan in Ika NE and a proud Igbo

TonyeBarcanista:
Buhari didn't mention South South na, he only mentioned people of Delta north that are partly Igbo that is Kachukwu and Emefiele. If you say Delta North ar Igbos, well I don't think any Urhoboman or Ijawman will bother to contest with you. But going beyond that is moving beyond boundary






BTW: Happy New Year 2016

I will just ignore you.
cos it's unnecessary to argue with kids like you.
we shall see about "your boundary" when d do tyme comes

Abagworo:


Wise Igbos like me have long dissociated those people from Igbo discussions. It is only the ignorant ones that innocently assume they are Igbos.

Eastlink:
Inasmuch as I don't like dabbling into Ikwerre issue, the same applies to Ekpeye. Ekpeye's don't deny their Igboid connection, but they hardly call themselves Igbo. At most you hear them say Ekpeye or Ahoada. If there is one people that love the Igbo in the Niger-Delta, fought and suffered with them in the Biafran war and would even sale lands to them, then you should look towards Ndi Ahoada.
They bear Igbo names, wear similar attires and have similar culture, yet their language seems different in many aspect from other dialects of Igbo. Even different from the harsh one spoken in Ebonyi.
Unlike the Ikwerres, Ogba and other denials they deserve the tag Igboid. The Igbos should respect the Ekpeyes. However, you are the first Ekpeye man, I have seen come out openly to claim Igbo. let me ask you a question and dont be offended. Where in Ekpeyeland are you from, your LGA, community and village.

Saying That Ekpeye are not Igbo is an Insult on izzi, Ezzea and Ikwo people of Ebony I state becOs I HV been to epkeye land and beliv me The Ekpeye people speaks better Igbo dialect than the izzi,ezzea and ikwo ppl of Ebony I state

TonyeBarcanista:

No INCH of Rivers state is Igbo! Get used to it or Go and "you know the rest"


PS: You are NOT from Rivers state. I've seen lots of impostors already!




Bye-byeeeeeeeeeeee

We will be here in Nigeria with you waiting for you and your fellow ijaw Land thieves to come and steal any part of igboland.
Especially Opobo

I don't know what is wrong with you guys.
can't you all make your comment with out Saying "I'm As" "I'm Igbo" I'm Niger delta"?
nawao

funny people. and how does this relate to dying slowly?

King JAJA denounced his amaigbo citizenship and became Ijaw . .shame on you . And he was just a leader while the people he led were all Ijaw .

Any story that will satisfy you is allowed.
until d D-day

VickJames pls I need your own number to or your Facebook user name so I can add you.
something very important I want to discuss with reasonable guys like you

ijawcitizen:
1. The proposed Oil Rivers state is purely Ijaw made up Ijaws balkanized into Rivers and Akwa ibom states WITH NO INCLUSION OF NON-IJAWS so there are no minorities for Ijaw to oppress just as in Bayelsa 2. It is the man who wears the shoe that knows where it pinches, your question about an end to Ijaw perceived marginalization is just too dumb for a response. 3. I guess i'm not here to prove to you that Ibeno Eastern Obolo are Ijaws just like the Apoi people in Ondo.

I just hope Opobo will not be part of your I jaw Oil Rivers State?.
because any attempt to include Opobo into any Ijaw state will be met with War. Opobo is d property of king jaja and Jaja is d property of Amaigbo.
if you guys so much love opobo then Support them to have their own State.
I repeat.
Opobo will be maintained d Way Jaja left it.
The Igbo language will not be Changed into ibani or any ijawlanguge .
We the Amaigbo people are watching and waiting for you to come and claim it.
God bless Nigeria.
Abagworo.
pls I need your phone number.
and lyng19 phone number to.
it is very important.
