On point

you saying on point is it not true you speak two languages?

eduj:
thats a fallacy,30% of Scots can speak one or another version of Scottish.point is, their is a 2nd language -most of this rivers groups have no second language or,even an oral history of ever having a prior language . the scots adopted english because,it was used in propagating the gospel,its the language used mostly in uk politics. some ijaw guys claim that the igbos where just slaves yet, the only tangible reason those supposed ijaw elites adopted igbo would be that igbo dominated them economically or politically or militarily

Thats wrong, the scots speak English or Scottish Gaelic.There is no more unless you are referring to Dialect.Everybody in Nigeria speaks two language your local language or English,it is then subdivided into dialect.Going also by you initial example can I ask you, what other language do you speak apart from Yoruba in Lagos?

Largas:
Ndoki people have never denied their Igbo identity. Igbo is a big nation with small clans that make up the nation. Clans such as Nsukka, Abakaliki, Etche, Obigbo, Afikpo, Onitsha, Aba, Abiriba, Anioma, Ndoki, Owerri, Umuahia, Asaba, Enugwu, Ohaozara, Igbo nation is a proud and big family with notable internationally aknowledged and accepted individuals.
However, of major concern is the stinking, strong sense of Igbo identity denial emanating from Ikwerre people. Elechi Amadi claimed he is no Igbo. I don't understand how you people use Eke, Orie, Afor, Nkwor market days, bear Igbo names, speak and understand Igbo language, celebrate new yam festival and many other Igbo cultural activities and yet claim to be non-Igbo. The war really stripped off your natural identity from most of you and it is so sad. Your leaders now claimed Ikwerre was before Independence but so was everyother Igbo clans. There is strength in multitude/unity and if you continue to allow Nigerian media machinery orchestrated by Hausa-Yoruba people to falsely re-write your history/identity and tell you you are not Igbo then on the long run, you people will be the gullible and lost ones. I rest myself. I can already see erico2k2 on one of their known missions of confusing you people and you even swallowed it.

one sentence for you.The Geographical location defines what language you speak.

ahaz:
my fellow afonja lagos belongs to the igbos lets mind out business and fight for our oye land of rivers..its hightime we chase the igbos out of rivers our home town.

ahaz:
mr oga is it that it is only igbo language that has evolved, why hasant yoruba evolve too or does it mean that we yorubas are backward and archaic pepple? okey is it safe to say the people of kwara state are not in anyway yoruba? just asking sir cos we yorubas are are fast becoming busy bodies over igbo matter oo

I think you are backing up the wrong tree, you must have misunderstood me

BestySam:
I never called them Igbo!
They're variatios.

Someone else did

BestySam:
I'm from Ikwerre which is one.

Ikwerre
Etche
Oyigbo/Obigbo
Ndoki
Bonny people speak Igbo

Even Omoku, Ahoada and some other tiny tribes I don't know about.

yeah a language do not make a place, its a means of communication, part of Rivers speak Igbo as part of Delta, however you cannot cal them Biafra.or igbos even though thier ancestors where Igbos, they have evolved.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
They are all British still, Scotland and England are mere locations.
Owerri people and Egbema ppl of rivers are all igbos, but owerri and Egbema are mere locations

Go and read tehe history very well, the fought a very bitter war,England Scotland ireland and wales,thought they are the UK there is still bad blood btw them, hence the republic of Ireland broke out and became thier own country.

awa:
I don't know if Yorubas are flogging you but unfortunately if they are my sincere sympathy to you and your tribe.

Hate them or love them, what the Igbo nation have suffered in this entity called Nigeria, no other tribe might suffer it and still remain part of the nation Nigeria.
I am proud of them, they are bold in what they do.

You can choose which tribe you want to associate this man with. When we all go up North and there is religious crisis, they would kill him the same way they would any other Easterner.
By the way, I don't support the agitation for Biafra but true federalism or at worst Unitary system of Government.

Thanks and deal with the Yorubas flogging you because no Average igboman can be flogged by a Yoruba.

Oga Im not IGBO, Deal with the Above post, my post was directed to any Igbo stating Rivers is Igbo,you can cry the victim cry for all you like,it does not change anything I have said, fact is fact Deal with it simple.

kettle84:
now you know that PH is igbo land,now go and tell your people who have a different thinking because they have not crossed Ore.

See dem another one, claiming land upadan

surrogatesng:
Yes i have

Ok cool, so did you buy this new ECU in Nigeria?

awa:
Ekpeye or whatever, check your history and educate people well

You might as well call the Edos yorubas then, this is why the yorubas dey flog una upadan so, U dont mind your own biz,Rivers sate Election dey put food 4 una table abi? Busy Bodies.By force we must be Igbos and Biafra when its clear like daylight we no follow.

chi4ik:
both their past and present Governors no b Igbo? eg, Odili, Amechi, & Nwike !!!!! will you tell me that the Yorubas in Kwara, kogi and Edo are not Yorubas just because they are found in another geo-political zones?

Correct, the fact they speak Igbo and have Igbo names do not make Rivers an Igbo state.Sctoland speak English but they are not English even thought they have English names as well.

ceejay4real:
Are you mad? Don't u know Rivers is at least 80 percent an Igbo State? Typical Afonja way of reasoning! Tufia kwa!

SPITS. ......

Aha its people l ike you who give them the believe Rivers are Igbos,I take it you are not from Rivers.RIvers are not Igbos deal with it.

Largas:
Osinachukwu? Thought they are no ibos in Rivers state?

ask yourself this silly question, whats the meaning of the last name of the name of the EDO State Governor. and why do you have such name as OJO in Igbo land

[quote author=Bants post=51863645][/quote]When you and your likes know the geography of Nigeria and get exposed beyond your Red Hut and brown Roofs
Now gt the F off my mention

Bants:
Are you not claiming them with Biafra

Is ur brain wet? Im not Igbo or that cheap weed you smoke has screened you power of reasoning as well

eLcastro:
u so pained right now...have u been with a rivers man calling for biafra.?

Guy the thing nor tire U , U know once you are not from teh west and not from the north you are IPOB or BIAFRA or IGBO,
Their Education bargroun Nigerian Geography zero

jjman2322:
relax guys

only reason reserves grew is because cbn isn't giving funds.

our company has bills of close to $1m unpaid and we are small fish.

it's like saying you having 1m in your account but you are homeless and can't eat.

estimates by international analysts are that our import bill is over $2b a month.

right now last report released was that cbn has over $20b of unpaid bills and LC. reserves are just propaganda.

for the last one month cbn has been giving only $1.5m daily while demand is closer to 100m a day. LOL at people hailing increase in reserve.

dollar is still 485 as i speak. and rising.

reserve has nothing to do with dollar price. most likely dollar will actually go higher since cbn refuses to pay bills for collections and Lcs

Well said

jamislaw:

Hmmm , Life drama

This is not BIAFRA, it Rivers for crying out loud.when did you ever hear Rivers people crying for BIAFRA?

Bants:
Since Yorubas are Afonja what will you call ibo people like the ones in this pictures

You have to bring tribalism into this even though its Rivers, just so you know, these are IJAWS not IGBOs.
Now you and ur tribalism filth fly frm here fast,

9jakohai:
Actually, we were borrowing during the last administration (see here)....because having oil does not mean you are rich per se. (Which is why Nigeria has been talking about diversification since the 1970's).

I know we where borrowing, was it not to finance our economy, we never borrowed to support our foreign reserves.

Adminisher:
The exchange rate has always been fixed before Buhari. Infact the only economic direction of Nigeria since Abacha had been to defend Naira value with reserves.
What we are seeing as appreciation in reserves is sustainable and real. Nigerians are cutting their taste in imports because the Naira has been right valued

what do you mean by real? was it not fixed?

jamislaw:
Just go and open your shop, live politic for life because you ain't coping.

My belle I don die,
Guy I dey cope well, infact I cope well pass the whole of your street put together, go check
£1=N600 now and you dey ask me to open shop or I suppose open mall where I fit employ you as security

PaperLace:
Unnecessary is subjective.
Some people see Registry as unnecessary too, different stroke for different folks


Most churches?
How many times have you been married? And where did you do your survey?
Some big orthodox churches wed 5-10 people every Saturdays. I guess all the couples would decorate each pillar. Nice.
The church decoration team handles that Sir.
Church programmes? Not true, they request for just one for their archive. Sometimes for the Pastors...
Photographs? Wouldn't you want your photographs? If you don't want, still not compulsory.
You may have to specify the requirements, so far you're throwing around facile assertions.
'Poor people' get married in churches every Sat/Sun, how exactly did they go past these expenses you keep talking of?


Still choice.
Reception is where the money goes down. Budgeting for 150-300 people isn't beans, and can never equal the amount spent in church (that's if you do 'spend').


There doesn't have to be teaching of it in the Bible.
Lots of youths fornicate with reckless abandon, then remember the Scriptures when issues like this arise.
If you're such an advocate of the Scriptures, I hope you follow it to the letter.

Another lie, most Pastors don't attend receptions 'cos some activities that take place there might be considered 'worldly' inclusive of the gbedus.

Well said.

linearity:
What do you mean? Traditional marriages are legal and recognized by the constitution. Except you intend saying that, the wife is afraid of her inlaws and wants the equality provided by statutory marriage.

How is traditional marriage Legal?
whats the legal backing for it?
Even church wedding is not legal let alone traditional marriage,I take it you are not yet married right? some of us talking to you have been married for more than 10 years.

jamislaw:
you that understand what is your take on that a**s hole.

I have written my take more than 4 times on here,your slow brain is playing catch-up. You wonder why you are where you at right about now.

soulpeppersoup:
I understand you but my problem is that all the money from every sector is being plunged into this external reserve of a thing.

I suggest 50% of our foreign exchange go into external reserve, 25% to infrastructure, 25% for other things.

The bigger our investment and infrastructural development the bigger our external reserve but we are leaving the driver of this external reserve to what does not count.

It doesn't take time to wipe out that reserve. We will continue the circle of build and wipe out external reserve.

That was what the past Ministry of Finance was trying to do until desperate thieves petitioned and claimed the withdrawals where unlawful when in fact it was used to support the economy hence we where ot borrowing
