The grandfather's statement is priceless.

Typical _____ pleading for his life. Na wa o!

Sha, Nigeria is dead already.

Not yet, it is on life support!

Ikwerre kwenu[b][/b]

Where are you from? Definitely you cannot be from Rivers State. because we all know it is Ikwerre meka!

I am an Aro Igbo born and raised in Port Harcourt. I did that for a reason. 

We all know you Ikwerre be saying "Ikwerre meka oh!" But I prefer Ikwerre Kwenu!

No Ijaw were raiding Alaigbo without the Aro permission. Inland Igbo and Ibibio areas were under our dominion. And I seriously doubt that the Ijaw could raid the Ikwerre or Ngwa. So which Igbo groups were they raiding? It had to be the Aro or Igbo clans who were selling rival clans.

Andrew Uweh,

You are wrong. Aro did capture slaves. With our Ohafia and Abiriba allies, we were a menace to northern Igbo and Ibibio clans. It is common knowledge that Aro raids caused great upheavals throughout Alaigbo. People were forced to flee the Aro.

Some of my people were traders, others were warriors. Some Aro warriors founded communities as far as Anambra and Benue State.

We cannot whitewash our history as ChinenyeN said. To be honest, I am proud of the rich history of the Aro.

As the saying goes, MIGHT MAKES RIGHT.

Mobinga:
People like you Worship the Americans

People like me wish Nigeria will disintegrate already.

If the U.S. can make that happen, I will gladly help.

FYI, I am an American.

You live by the gun, you die by the gun.

PH will be very tense. I have to call my father and see what is happening on the ground.

Who does she think she is?

How dare she insult my governor. 

Okrika people! I hope they demolish the whole settlement! Ikwerre Kwenu!

The prediction has not come full circle. In the report that was posted here, it only said that Naija will not last past 2015. 2015 is a very important year as you know.

Nigeria can save itself if it includes the Igbo. 2015 will be the test year. If we Igbos do not get power which we haven't had in 15 years, then it is lights out for Naija.

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=299.msg6633712#msg6633712 date=1282679096]All na conspiracy.nigeria has a civil war,numerous military coup,political crisis,ethnic uprising and tribal clashes including religious crisis and still remain united.so what is the big deal about 2015 ?[/quote]The world will be on the sidelines. Now we all know the reason why Nigeria has not failed, because it is being propped up by Western corporations and nations. If the West withdraws its support, the regime will fall apart.

And if the U.S. is already preparing for a post Nigeria, that means it is bound to happen.

2012 is too soon. More like 2015 if the world does not end by then.

Yes, we should go back to 3 to 4 regions.

Northern Region
Eastern Region
Midwest Region
Western Region.

sjeezy8,

That is what you are suppose to do. I do not believe in this half something nonsense.

It gets tiring to say I am half Igbo and half Ibibio. I speak both Igbo and Ibibio, but at the end of the day, I answer my father's name.

You are either one or the other. You can't serve two masters.

Don't understand why Olu Jacobs should be playing Igwe.

And do not insult Pete Edochie! The man is a legend.

Come on people. It is not like this bumbling idiot knows what he is talking about. Someone fed him those words, because his illiterate sef cannot speak in such terms.

He is a Fulani.

Get over it. He sees himself as a Fulani. The man wants to distance himself from you Yorubas.

I have Aro Igbo cousins with Ibibio surnames, but they are Igbo. The same goes for Saraki. Call him a Yorubaman and he will call you a goat.

This country is bound to fail. What Europeans create will end like dust.

No biggie.

We Igbos were here before Nigeria and we will be here after Nigeria.

Youth searching for alms is part of Islamic culture in Africa. Go amongst the Mandinka, Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri etc, you will find their youth searching for alms, because they go to these Islamic schools where they are expected to live off of charity.

seanet02:
THEN DO SOMETHING

Not my problem.

Tell that Ngwa boy ChinenyeN to handle his people and town.

You answer your father's identity, not your mother's identity.

If I would answer my mother's name, I would be considered an Ibibio, not an Igbo. But I am an Igbo man.

Saraki is a Fulani.

Even if he has Yoruba blood in him, he will always answer his Fulani name. We go by father descent, not mother descent.

I think the North can survive without oil, because they hardly use the oil wealth they receive to improve their land.

And we care?

He provides more of the same. The more I hear about this man, the more I dislike him.

This is most likely true.

Aba has gone crazy. Too many people high on d Igbo walking around in that town.

I heard this on the news.

On a side note, he has a big house in both Maryland and Houston. Probably built these houses from looted Abian money.

Thank you princekevo for mentioning the hypocrisy of this thread. I was born in U.S. as an anchor baby but was raised in Port Harcourt and I when I went to university in the U.S, even though I missed home, I was thankful to be in the U.S.

And this is where the man loses my vote. He is simply a puppet.

Mbakwe just cared a lot about our people. I miss him very much! He had Igbo interest in mind.

Aba is a dirty place. I was there in January. Trashy city but that is expected of a commercial city. It is not meant to look clean, but to be profitable.

Ibime:
You miss the point entirely. . . .  . . . . of course the Ngwa story is a fable. . . . however this folklore exposes the hydrophobic psyche of the Igbo historians. . . . Ijaw historians can never give water as an excuse for not migrating. . . . Ijaw psyche naturally demands that wherever water flows, one must follow. It is the only conduit of migration for the Ijaw. 

You say the Ngwa story is a fable but I doubt it since both the origin of the Ngwa and Ikwerre can be traced to Mbaise. And I am pretty sure Igbos were present at the time when the arrival of the Ijaws came to our regions. Remember population movement was common throughout Ala Igbo in which the Igbo spread in all directs from North to South to East to West. My Aro went East into the Ibibio communities.

Ijaws are not natives to the East. Ijaw language is a language isolate from the Mande-Congo while Yoruba, Igala, Edo and Igbo is Benue-Congo language family. I do not think these Canoe people are native to Nigeria.

Very interesting!

A majority Yoruba state is ruled be a Hausa-Fulani man even though Yoruba make up 80% of the population.
