Ogiade:
EzeUche, wake up from your illusion. Port Harcourt is never an Igbo town and the Ikwerres do not accept that they are ibos. If i may ask you, why are you forcing ibo on your neighbouring tribes? My thought is that you are convinced within you that you cannot make the so called biafra on your own. i expected you to damn the south south and concentrate your quest for biafra on the south east only. the overwhelming rejection of the biafra nationhood after the creation of the twelve states will prove to you how much dislike they have to be joined with the ibos in a political enclave within a nation, let alone aspiring to stay with you in an independent country. Wake up and think Nigeria, its the only option you have.

The only people who really have a problem with the Igbo are the Izon and Ogoni, do not include the other minority groups. Like I have stated time and time again, I am half Ibibio, so I know what I am talking about. The South-South is a fictional term in order to divide the East. You are too foolish to understand that. The Ijaw can have their own small little Republic, but wherever Igbos are in large numbers, we the Core Igbos will never let them GO!!! Not in a million of years.

And who created the extra South-South states? It wasn't the minorities, they were created after Biafra lost the war. Port Harcourt will always be Igbo. It is not up to the Ikwerre to say who they are. They use Igbo names, they speak Igbo and there culture is Igbo so THEREFORE they are Igbo! You think you can tame a people that makes up 75% of the region? Yes, we Igbos make up the majority of the East including this fiction South-South. Igboland will never be landlocked you hear me!!! And if you are not of a group from the East, do not speak on behalf of the minority, because anyone would know that the South-South is not a united group.

Funny thing is that you have Ijaw militants like Asari who are requesting for the Igbo support. He understands that no independence would be gained without the support of the Igbo. We have battled the Nigerian military in the field of battle for almost 3 years. Do not try us!

Sharrap!

FL Gators:
Right, and you will be my BSDM buddy. Too bad nothing can take me away from Ekiti State

Oh no! That is way too freaky for my liking. I am pretty sure dollars can take you away from your precious Ekiti State.

FL Gators:
Exactly. I really dont care anymore.

The only exciting thing about Nigeria right now is the probability that it would end up breaking up.

Either way, you will still be my concubine, so get used to it. I will take you back to my village. It would be interesting to have a Yoruba living among us.

^^^^^^^^^

Nigerian politics is a sham.

Sharrap woman! I dun tire 4 u. Stay out of Igbo affairs. Onlytruth has every right to complain about how Igboland is often neglected in the grand scheme of things. Everyone knows this, because we lost the war. Nigeria was the victor and we were the vanquished.

^^^^^

Oil Oil Oil. Is that the only thing you people care about? 

Igboland has plenty of oil. My home state has plenty of oil. Yet, we Igbos refuse to have our oil exploited. That is why the minorities are crying, because there land is being exploited. If you people had the backing of the Igbo, your environment would not be polluted.

The Izon are the Igbos nemsis. They want majority status in the Niger Delta, but in essence, we Igbos are the majority if you include Abia State and Imo State as part of the Niger Delta which it is.

And Igboland will never be landlocked. Port Harcourt has always been an Igbo town.

Yorubaland would disentigrate into chaos if they had their own nation. We already know your people do or die politics all too well. You will never find that in Igboland.

Nna EzeUche [/b]na wa for you o!

Which kain yarn be dat?

[b]tpia was right to ask whether you are Igbo. I'm truly alarmed by your comment.

I have not seen an Igbo with those types of views.

We need more Igbos with my views. I support Igbo hegemony and it is about time we realize that we as a people must dominate our region. You do not hear the minorities in the Core North or West speaking loudly, because they know who are the boss.

Our immediate threat is the Ijaw!!!  I have never hidden my views about these people. We must deal with these saboteurs first before they cause anymore harm. They already have been targeting are people in the Delta. There thirst for power knows no bounds.

We should not be allies with people who are untrustworthy.

First, it is not up to them to say what they are and what they are not. When God created them, He did not ask them who they wanted to be. He just created them Igbo. The only way you'll know who belongs to what ethnic group in Nigeria is the name and what language the name comes from. Anybody whose name is Amadi or Onyeri, or Eke, or Odili, Wanodi (Nwanodi) does not need to tell you who he is. He is Igbo, his politics notwithstanding.

This shows that this guy is eying the presidency. The North is not going to like that.

SEFAGO:
True that- townhouse meeting that no non-igbo was invited to, so I did not comment

[b]Katsumoto [/b]did enough talking for the non-Igbo side.

Igboland is too densely populated. The South-South should be made for living space for us Igbos. If we had our own nation, it would only be a matter of time when all these minority languages would die out.

^^^^^^^

I have no pity for Igbos who have investment in other parts of the country. They should have focused their investments in Igboland. They reap where they sow.

So Kaduna can go down in flames for all I care. It will teach my brothers and sisters again. You would think they would have learned.

Nothing wrong with smokin the Igbo.

Who cares? Let Kaduna be the spark to ignite Nigeria. Let the beginning of the civil war happen in the north. We Igbos will have your back if it allows us to have our Biafra and deal with this pesky South-South nonsense.

Awo played both sides. Zik and the North could not trust him, because he talked out of both sides of his mouth. Typical Yoruba. As the article clearly states, Awo main concern was handling the nation's finances for the benefit of his Yoruba people. He gave the same offer to the north, so why would Zik join forces with him?

This article clearly shows how treacherous the Yoruba are. Onye ara.

Either way, I am not a Zik fan either. He believed in the illusion of One Naija. Now Michael Okpara is my hero.

^^^^^^

You can say that again my Middle Belt friend!

No, they are a minority. The itsekiri are not Yoruba. There are similarities in language but they are their own separate group.

Unlike the Ikwerre who are Igbo, the Itsekiri were never Yoruba. Just some Yoruba words crept into their language.

^^^^^^^^

I don't believe you. This be Yoruba propaganda.

Itsekiri are not Yoruba!

[quote author=Aloy+Emeka link=topic=446687.msg6048133#msg6048133 date=1274065659]If Itsekiris are not Yorubas, why do they use names like OmatSola, OmatYemi etc?[/quote]They be Itsekiri with Yoruba names. You see these Ijebu guys claiming that Itsekiri are Yoruba.

I never heard an Itsekiri say dey be Yoruba. These Yorubas are only claiming the Itsekiri because of oil! 

They are trying to create their Odua Republic and they need Itsekiri oil to finance their republic.

Say no to YORUBA DOMINATION!

^^^^^^

You can say that again. This boy be confused. I never heard such clan loyalty from our generation.

Am Aro man, but I do not mind being with a man from Onishta or Nnewi. It doesn't matter we be all Igbos.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Just another way for the Yoruba to claim a people that is not their own. Ha! 

The Itsekiri are their own people!!! I support the Itsekiri and there struggle against Yoruba domination!

Onlytruth:
Smart observation.

In fact the regional parties make more sense than all these lies at the center. That way, people can be true to their values.

I would also support APGA over PPA when it comes to Eastern politics. After seeing what PPA has done, or should I say haven't done in my home state of Abia State, I would rather see APGA in power.
