Dedetwo:
You posited a fatuous question such as "Those that abandoned their properties left for where?". I responded with clear and witted answer by informing you that not only Igbo people from hinterland elope PH during the 1968 battle for the city. However the victorious side of Nigeria lured the dumbass jackasses in Rivers State to accept the seized properties of Igbo people who were not natives of Rivers State. The main leaders of Nigeria during the war, mainly the flops from northern and western region, decided to create everlasting enmity between close neighbors. It is very refreshing Ogoni peeps refrained from such lunacy.

Essentially Igbos are not indigenous to PH, thank you. First the first time, you spoke the truth

Dedetwo:
[s]Those who stayed and welcomed the vandals were saboteurs and inherent turncoats. I know large number of natives of the so-called Rivers State, Ijo, Igbo and Ogoni, who abandoned their properties and ran toward hinter land of Owerri and Orlu during the fall PH. You are free to act very stupidly as seen with the above post. You must bear in mind the seizure of the houses and properties belonging to Igbo people of non-indigenes of Rivers State by the victorious Nigerian side should remain a battle cry. [/s]

Next time uncle Dede, read very well to understand the context of a post before making your usual asinine input

MORNDEW:
What are the problems that they want solved?

Watch them as them come with some of the silliest reasons they can come up with

dokyOloye:
The way U ppl reason eee.
Igbos decided not to give Buhari breathing space?
How?
By organising non violent protests once in a while, meanwhile fulani herdsmen are murdering ppl all over d country,prices of goods have all gone up.
Wc one shld be of more concern to Buhari.
IPOB does not represent all Igbos but d way buhari is handling it has surely bought them d sympathy of most if not all Igbos.
Where on earth do U hear of d army opening fire on non violent protesters in this decade?
Only in few banana republics.

Abeg go and sleep!!
How many times have you organised protests for the bad governance of your state governors or some abominable acts that goes on in that place ?
Park well

kettle84:
I guess you learnt the jargon 'land grabism' from the dilapidated remnant of the education system the British left that the ZOO lacks knowledge to put in order.

I think your eyes are bright enough to see it in italics. Thst is by the side anyways, now please go back and let discuss the germane points I raised about PH abandoned properties.

kettle84:
the issue of Abandoned property came during the last stages of the civil war when illiterate and the politically naive older generation of the inhabitants of PH got carried away by the criminal propaganda of Hausa/Yoruba people who told them that their brothers fighting for the liberation of the entire area where do so to take their old only to plunder and destroy their environment forever while carting away the oil before their own eyes.the same SW was responsible in using propaganda to drag and destroy Nigeria in a life threatening recession by being readily available for use for the Daura President to ride to power.

the new generation PH inhabitants are wiser now.

Who are these you supposedly and derisively referred to as illiterate and politically naive older generations of the inhabitant of PH and where are they from?
Those that abandoned their properties left for where?
Are the new generation of PH inhabitants that you think are wiser now not the offsprings of those old illiterates as you derisively referred to their fathers and grandfathers?
Your mentality reeks of land grabism
You guys will never learn your lessons in PH.

JohnsonOlanre:
yoruba muslim preacher...

Wannabe black-Jew, move on.
Your skull is filled with shouting yoruba Muslim from morning till night, who inflicted you with this affliction?

Well meaning Nigerians that IPOB at the slightest opportunity will take a shade at.

owodokiri:
Sir, it doesn't impress me that much when noisy ijiots on steroids are dancing azonto on my mentions.., do you mind to move over?

Quit this trash already if you have nothing tangible to write. Buhari goading Igbos my foot!
If you do anyhow in any Nigerian city, you will receive it hot, as long as you still share from oil revenue from SS and VAT and tax revenue from the SW.
Trouble makers deserve no compassion

kettle84:
Stop behaving like a typical Nigerian always answering a question with a question.if majority of the inhabitants of PH bear Igbo names,practice igbo culture, speak a variant or dialect of igbo then how do you view PH city?

Im a Nigerian, and forever I would be a Nigerian, if you don't like the sound of that, do the needful.
So tell me what brought about the issue of ABANDON PROPERTIES in PH if that city is an Igbo city?
Self deceit is the worst form of self hate.

kettykin:
Ipob was only celebrating the inauguration of Trump on Friday when the military opened fire on them

Just listen to yourself!

owodokiri:
Buhari is goading the igbo.., angling to force the igbo into a situation where a war becomes inevitable... Astonished at the incredible recovery made after the last fiasco, he somehow thinks that a confrontation will provide his evil forces an opportunity to level the south east.. Buhari seems to have forgotten a lot quickly; the Igbo NEVER really waged a war against Nigeria or anybody. A coup happened, a progrom followed and the federal forces that are supposed to protect the innocent civilians from the butchery happening all over Nigeria ganged up with all sorts of tribalists to unleash an armed conflict on the east. Whatever that happened in the east was basically a series of quickly organised actions for self defense.. The igbo has not really decided to engage Nigeria. when the igbo man makes up his mind on that front, that war will be fought in such places as Sokoto and Kaduna and not in Onitsha and Portharcourt.., and when it is over, all of us in this country will learn one or two from it,,.. An intellectually starved fulani fundamentalist parading his empty self as the president of this bundle of embarrassment called Nigeria can not be spilling the innocent blood of igbo hardworking youths and expect everything to be okay..

IPOB do not represent Igbos, though they create such impression. Buhari is not goading Igbos, rather it's the igbos that have promised not to give the president a breathing space right from day one of his presidency.
After 4 or at most 8 years Buhari will go but Nigeria would still remain.
All these unnecessary provocative actions will not bring about a positive end.

Qelvin:
Are you insane? Which constitution in any part of the world prohibits people from having and exercising their rights to self determination? before Nigeria there was the Igbo nation so don't come here and preach that rubbish here, when this ipob guys start shooting back at your hopeless security forces, you already how the madness began...while you are at it, why not tell us how the security forces your useless country has never seem to show this much commitment and aggression when Fulani herdsmen are running amok? why shoot at innocent women and youths marching peacefully, I hope you die a slow and painful death...your fate is sealed this year.

That will not be a wise thing to do. You and I know what the outcome would be.

QuotaSystem:
The needless loss of life was completely avoidable. IPOB should desist from further deliberate provocation of the Nigerian State and her armed forces.

This secessionist nonsense in its current form will clearly not be tolerated in anyway so any deliberate acts of civil disobedience with the potential to puncture public peace, should be halted or avoided to prevent recurrence.

May the souls of the fallen rest in peace.

I endorse this position.
The agitation in it current form can only be leading to avoidable confrontations with men of security forces.
IPOB should have a rethink of their method.

ScotsReferendum:
Wise people keep their enemies closer

Wise men are from the East


God bless Jonathan.

Yes, you are right! He should have kept them closer in 2015 rather than listening to the selfish wisdom of political prostitutes now falling over themselves to join APC and be in the good books of Buhari, even swearing with their lives that their political enemies are trying to set them up against the President
Jonathan was not and he is not a wise man.

kettle84:
is PH a Yoruba or Hausa speaking city if not igbo.you people need some traveling and learning cos ignorance is a disease.

Is PH an ibo city,? Answer that and let me know where to place you and your IQ

Elliot2:
yea,kinda

Unless there is a present and immediate danger to the Americans, Africa is the least priority of Trump Presidency

luswitz:
I wonder y dey come down to port Harcourt to protest, aving no regard for d state and d people. Is aba , owerri , anambra not enough? This is one reason y south south can never be part of ipob/biafra. They always over step their boundaries where ever dey go.

The thinking is that PH will give them the desire visibility and attention that non of the ibo speaking states can give

Elliot2:
the rationale behind the rally is the symbolism Trump represents. These guys r seeking for referendum, and they seeing that President Trump is influential,think that rallying around him could come with some kind of help or support. Everything is political,allow them to do what they want so long they r not troublesome. What u and i ought to do is to critic both d Nigeria force n d ipod excesses. #peace.

So this is all about seeking attention from Trump to order the Nigeria government to conduct a referendum for the biafrans
Now I get it!

Elliot2:
Really?! Can u please tell me more? i mean, what is the crime there! what abt the protests against Trump victory,should he now order the police n military on them? Tell me,is the reaction of the police n military on ipod proportionate with the actions of the Ipod?

You guys like comparing apples to oranges? Who is protesting in america because Jonathan lost an election or buhari won an election in Nigeria
Show me the American city where a rally was organised for the victory in another country election.

Elliot2:
and what is the etymology of that hatred,i mean how did it come about? We must understand that things don't just happen without a cause. only by understanding the foundation of an issue can be solved.

The simple cause was that they were expecting a different presidential election result in 2015 but were disappointed with the actual outcome

GEJ messed up big time
He should have stick with OBJ and Ameachi, falling out with the duo was his greatest undoing.
The same idiots that surrounded and you encouraged him in the feud are now falling over themselves to be in the good book of Buhari and APC, abandoning GEJ and even swearing that their political distractors are trying to cause problem between them and Buhari.
Sheu Shagari called them POLITICAL PROSTITUTES

Elliot2:
it doesn't matter if the educated ones or their kids join them,what should be important for discourse is whether their agitation is right or wrong.

Agitation fuel by hatred for the person of the President

Elliot2:
I AM PROUDLY IGBO

Therefore, whenever some people address you Igbos as mere traders and Keke riders, tell them that in addition to doing very well in business, science, technology and SPORTS you are also ahead in academia. No amount of hatred can change blessings from God.IF YOU ARE FROM IGBO, SAY "I AM" Igbo Kwenu! Kwezoonu!

How many of those people you listed above and their children were at the rally today?
I will never pity anyone or group that will look for the flimsy excuses or reasons to cause public disturbance and constituting nisance to the public space.

The same GEJ that was in Ifo, Ogun State with Baba OBJ

They died in Igweocha..that is fair enough for them.

Some people are becoming highly unpatriotic to Nigeria, just because they hate the person of President Buhari.

seunmsg:
The wailing of senator Chukwuka Utazi is not the position of the Senate. He only raised a point of order that was righty rejected by the senate president.




But seriously, I don't understand the sudden love between Ibos who are predominantly Christians and Yaya Jammeh, a fanatical Muslim. Why are they suddenly against the removal of a Muslim dictator who has been in power for 22 years? I don't get it

They simply hate the man involved, that is Buhari. Anything against Buhari is music to their ears.

verygudbadguy:
I thought they stopped these tankers and containers from plying major roads during the day time.

The other time, a container fell at Ojuelegba.. Few weeks after, another one happened at Jibowu. We have lost too many lives to the these tankers and containers. It is high time the government did something about them.

We do not value lives in Nigeria. That's just the plain truth.

They will always blackmail the govt with a strike action.
