Politics › Re: Chimaokoro63 Is Not An Igbo Man After All. by Eastlink(m): 3:02am On Oct 05, 2015

BUSTED: True Identity Of Twitter User Who ‘Predicted’ Boko Haram Bombings REVEALED (DETAILS)

The social media have been awash with reactions from several users ever since a Twitter user with handle “@chimaokoro63” ‘predicted’ the Boko Haram bombings that rocked Abuja on Friday, October 2, 2015.

@chimaokoro63 Thursday, October 1, 2015 wrote: “I pray for Nigeria: There will be a bomb blast n Abuja&Lagos, Boko Haram is going to attack and kill police_army_Navy their evils:”

Barely a day after his supposed ‘prediction’, the Kuje and Nyanya areas of Abuja were attacked by Boko Haram insurgents leaving scores dead.

The man had initially changed his handle from @chimaokoro63, to @chimaokori633 but subsequently deleted the account Saturday, October 3, 2015 after several users attacked him and called on security agents to arrest him.

However, the man’s mobile telephone number was later gotten on Facebook.

A probe of the number on True Caller application however, revealed that the user’s name is Sadiq Hono, apparently not even from South East descent as indicated by his Twitter handle.

The brow raising discovery has caused a fresh stir across the social media with a handful of users wondering if the said man is a member of the dreaded Boko Haram sect.

One user wrote: “Boko Haram using an Igbo name” while another added “This has been going on for so long, if you see an Igbo name supporting the haramist, just know it’s an avatar!”

Phut:
You should not even Say "PIM!" on a topic like this. You are answering "Omenka" an Igbo name when clearly you are not. Why? To mislead or misrepresent yourself?
It is exactly because of people like you (and with M.O like yours) that the Twitter handle should be investigated

thanks jare

Politics › Re: We Are Not Igbo---anioma Statement To SE by Eastlink(m): 8:57am On Oct 02, 2015*

Yeske2:
Nna please not trying to disrespect you but the attitude of many Ikas and Ikwerres I've associated with makes me doubt their willingness to be called Igbos.
They seem to have this aversion to their Igboness, the Igbos of Akwa Ibom and Benue never deny their Igboness but don't seem to understand those two aforementioned groups.

Yes many don't want to be called Igbo due to reasons best known to them. They owe much allegiance to their clan than the larger Igbo group. This is the case of the Ikwerre, Ika, Ndokwa, and largely within the Ngwa clan. Many of these group fear that embracing fully the Igbo tag and identity may wipe off the remaining unique trait and cultural consciousness of their clan. And when you try forcing this one indivisible Igbo idea to them, they react offensively and speak ill of you. In defending their stance you'll hear words like this amongst the denials: 'we are not Igbo but Ikwerre', 'we have our own dialect which is different from the central Igbo language promoted by the British and forced on us to speak'. If you tell them that even the Ikwerre dialect can be found in the Igbo bible and central language, you'll see a stern look from their face and hear words like 'Why will you use other neigbouring clans like the Isu, Uratta, Uhuhu and Agbaja to compare us, if they wholly accepted this Igbo ethnic tag and suddenly became the vanguard of Igbo unity should you now join them and sell it to us'. 'We are comfortable with our Ikwerre tag and let other busy body hinterland clans accept our decision'.
These are few words you hear from the willing ones reasonable to discuss with you about their denial.
Even now, majority of the Ikwerre people who are pro-Igbo tend to blame the then Eastern regional government for what they saw as carelessness on its part for not understanding the fears of the Ikwerre and other sub-groups who now claim minority status - something the Ngwa of yore would have done if they had the chance.
We know the climax of the Ikwerre denial came as a result of Gowons state creation and the preceeding civil war. But truth be told. Had Zik allowed Barr Nwonodi( of Rebisi) become mayor of P/H rather than the Oguta born honourable (both of whom were from the same Owerri province) the agitation by the likes of Eze Origi, Wali, Eze Worluchem, Chief Uchendu, Elechi Amadi et al wouldn't have been birthed. The Ikwerre just like the Ngwas of Aba felt that having their son as Mayor will give them a say in the politics of P/H and that the fears they had nurtured as a result of the immigrant and energetic hinterlanders who were coming in droves to the industrial city will be well managed when there is respect and mutual understanding. Yes they sold off large portions of their lands to their hinterland brothers, but they were also loosing jobs (railway, ports and new oil establishments) to these hinterlanders also. Many of whom were highly educated than the largely laid back Ikwerre population. Also, majority of the hinterlanders from the Onitsha province were too clannish, full of themselves and over bearing with their wealth and status. The Willinks commission carried in their report many of the Ikwerre and minorities grievances. But Zik and Okpara did little to contain these fears! Maybe they were convinced that just like the Nsukka, Nkanu and Owerri people who nurtured such fears as a result of immigrant population and later moved on into productivity, that the indigent communities of Aba and P/H will finally learn to streamline their fears into effective ingenuity, enterprise and communal development. It later worked for Aba. However, despite the Igbo domination sentiments majority of the Ikwerre people dusted up themselves to compete. But a storm came along! the civil war which saw brothers taking sides with the enemy soldiers who banded a false hope of liberation and emancipation from their hinterland brothers. We heard of the abandoned property saga - a dark age in the annals of the Igbo race.
The mistake had been made by our fore-bearers yes! But, for the younger ones who are bent on restoring the Ikwerre into the Igbo fold and mending broken bridges. The question should be how do we make sure the past dosen't repeat itself again and how do we guard the Igbo unity against external enemies who wish our downfall.
Because even now many Ikwerrrians are supporters of the Biafran agenda, many are pro-Niger Delta but secretly wish to mend fences with the Igbo. My advice to the SE Igbo is this: Learn to stop vilifying the Ikwerre, Ika and Ndokwa anytime someone spring up to start the denial, learn from the likes of Pazienza by trying to find common ground that can give room for understanding.

EzePromoe:
[color=#DC143C][b]You've spoken the undiluted truth my brother. Any Igbo man that chooses to be fooled by those fake monikers is on his own. I've been on NL for long, and I must tell you that this impersonating game preceded my date of registration. I've been bursting many lies that is why people like Ikwerreboy and Hopeathand can't come and tell me without blinking the eyes that they are Ikwerres. LOL, Ikwerre that will be stalking Igbo threads in order to haul insults at Igbo. Some will even go ahead to insult Igbo culture and I ask, "Tell me one practice in Ikwerre culture that is not in the culture of some other places in Igboland."
If you have a discerning spirit, read these impostors' comments and you'll be convinced that many of them have not crossed the Niger bridge. For me, I don't bother reacting because I'm too busy.
See again as an example to detect impostors, the OP when writing spoke on behalf of his people (the Aniomas) while refering to my post, likewise I spoke on behalf of my people (the Ikwerres) not because I don't know about Anioma people or other Igbo groups that the impostors have been stealing identity from. I could come now to start trying hard to prove that Anioma is Igbo but we prefer that everyone 'answers his father's name'. I can't make assumption that Anioma people are 100% proud of being Igbos, but it will shock you that the impostors will be speaking for the entire Niger Delta region or South South region as if it's a homogeneous entity. They don't know that by saying 'we Niger Deltans', it's akin to saying, 'we Imolites' or 'we Abians' and they will still turn around to insult people from those region and in their warped mind they will be thinking, "OH, we're doing a good job by defending Niger Delta'. Even an Ijaw man will laugh at any Ikwerreman who says he's not Igbo. The Ijaw man may not be laughing because he's thinking otherwise but because the accent, the 'body language', the ambience around him is speaking thick Igbo. Many of these impostors equate the internal rivalry which is common amongst every Igbo group to 'hatred for Igbos' and they rejoice to themselves and pounce on it as fact that we're non-Igbos.
If you want to see more intra-Igbo rivalry which is worse than what some Ikwerres tend to show, just watch an Anambra man and an Imo man or an Onitsha man and Aba man argue for superiority. Then you guys can form a better essay on how any of these men are not Igbo.
Well, I'm not in the mood to write epistles so I'll stop here.
Well done to OP and also those Igbos who choose to be fooled by impostors. [/b][/color]

Keep it up bro. Most of these idiots who are yet to cross the Niger bridge or Warri would come out openly to speak ill of the larger Ibo ethnicity. I keep wondering who gave them the right to speak on matters they know little about. The Ibo denial attitude as exist in the South/South has been blown out of proportion by these intruders, even to the consternation of the vocal minorities amongst us. Let the SW face their Awori and Ijebu issue while they allow us contend with the Ikwerre matter.
Maternally Ikwerre, proudly Egbema, proudly Ibo.

Ofodirinwa:
Right. I don't see how Igbos are 'slaves' when there are actual slaves in the North. People that are owned by other people and sold as property. Inherited by their children, and work estates/farms. Real living slavery exists in Nigeria so we should take hypothetical slavery out of the equation.

[b]One legacy of the civil war is Igbos being overtly critical of each other. A renegade will go to a public forum and criticize whatever they see as the 'problem' with the rest of the group. We are 1 academically, 1 one industry, 1 in commerce 1 in sports 1 in entertainment 1 in urban and rural development. We have the highest life expectancy according to the UN, we met our Millennium Development Goals first, We're among the only states that aren't in debt, he have the highest literacy and the safest state in Nigeria according to the Nigerian police department (Enugu). We have the most millionaires.

People will then turn around and say 'we' aren't good politically, but we are governors in 7 states, more than any other ethnicity. We are represented in governments of 4 out of 5 regions and we are the backbone of the People's Democracy Party which controls roughly 48% of the Nigerian political sphere, as well as APGA, and the Labor Party.

We're in the UK government in number, the polish government, and the US government. We're debatably in the presidency of Gabon

I think we're doing alright with or without these alleged bridges.[/b] I can't name a group of people in Africa that have done a better job reaching out to others. I have no Yoruba neighbors in Owerri, and there are none in our government. While we're in their government and they have Igbo neighbors. So who's reaching out to who?

teeebugs:
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has said the Federal Government had plans to distribute 6,000 megawatts of electricity in the country by the first quarter of next year.

According to a statement by Mr Laolu Akande, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Vice President yesterday, Osinbajo spoke at Kaleta, Guinea, on Monday at the inauguration of a 240 MW Hydro-power plant.

The event, where Osinbajo represented President Muhammadu Buhari, was part of the activities marking Guinea’s 57th Independence anniversary taking place on October 2.

The Vice President praised the vision of the Guinean President, Prof. Alpha Conde, noting that the inauguration of the power plant was a “monumental accomplishment” in a short time.

“It shows what can be done with commitment and vision,” he added.

The 240 MW Hydro-power plant in Kaleta was built to serve mainly the people of Conakry, the nation’s capital city.

The release noted that the event was witnessed by the Presidents of Congo and Niger, Denis Sassou Nguesso, and Mohamadou Issoufou, respectively.

It added that there were also representatives from the governments of China, France and the United Arab Emirates, among others.

The Vice President returned to Abuja after the ceremony.

The President should not re-introduce the draconic days of Obasanjo into our holly chambers. The days when we had 5 Senate Presidents within a period of 6 years. Nigerians had always known Buhari for his dictatorial antecedents and evil intentions for our democracy. But, we never imagined that he (Buhari) would stoop so low to achieved it through fictitious claims of asset inefficiency - a thing he himself abstained from doing nay gazetting. The independence of the Legislature must be upheld at all cost. We cannot have an handpicked puppet of the executive run the affairs of the Senate. This is why every Nigerian must stand with Saraki at this trying times of executive tyranny. If The President is really serious about his anti-corruption crusade - as he wants us to believe - then it shouldn't be based on selective vendetta. As a matter of fact we would believe him when he revists Tinubu's corruption case at the CCT as well as Ameachi, Fayemi and other kleptomaniac cronies of his.

Do not fall for their carrot and greek gift gimmicks into allowing an inch of your land to be used as cash cow for Nigeria.

Nigeria is not worth sacrificing anything for. If it was, then the Northern and SWesterner parasites would have contributed the revenues accruing from their cocoa, groundnuts and solid minerals into the national coffers.
