Oga you are not igbo i am talking to my brothers not ikwerre or fulani miscreants,read my post did I mention south south minorities now go to my post and see if I am ever in support of including south south Minorities..

I am Igbo. And yes Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB now pose a big threat to Ndiigbo as a people. He and his group are culpable and should be thoroughly blamed by well meaning Igbos for a lot of things that have gone wrong recently in Igboland.

Elvictor:
Which harms have come their way from these groups?

So the one the Bini minority man Wike killed is not bad enough? You want a bigger one? Eh kwa?
All the insults from those inconsequential groups towards Ndiigbo because of IPOB shameless unity begging is not bad enough?

I can see you don't have shame. The mad man normally don't. Its the relatives that do.

Freedom fighters are never liked by people they are Fighting against no matter how diplomatic they are ,ask yourself is nelson Mandela not more diplomatic than kanu? Didn't they jail him for 22years? Was uwazuruike not diplomatic enough,didn't they kill his men too?was Ken Saro wiwa not diplomatic enough didn't they kill him?

You can never be liked for trying to break a country it's just common sense the world is not a fair place and freedom is very expensive the price is blood,all we have to do now is to pray for him he is human too with flaws and weaknesses,breaking free from an empire is not child's play,America we admire today payed with their blood, China too paid with their blood,Korea too paid with blood,what about Eritrea,it is not never an easy quest to break away,all these could have being avoided if only our southern brothers joined us to fight for freedom in 1967 but their eyes are just opening now..

Nairaland BMC crew are free to attack me so they can recieve their main monthly pay..

Don't be stupid.
Restrict your freedom fight to where you have grassroot support. Stop drinking urine and excreta of Igbophobic groups in SS.

Have a game plan. No one ever fought for freedom without getting political control over his territory first and foremost.

Nigeria is a political Union, dissolving it requires political process, which means you have to get involved in political power play in Igboland and beat the pro Nigeria Igbo political class in their own turf.
That's the minimum requirement if you want peaceful dissolution.

But if you can't do that, the only option left is war.
Is IPOB prepared for war? Do we have food security in Igboland currently to fight a war if cut off again? Never mind about the weapons.

Do you know that many groups in SS are praying that Igbos fight another war so that they can humiliate us further and claim our property again?
Who are your allies if you go the war route? Surely not Igbophobic groups in SS who would happily nuke us if they could and certainly not Yorubas or NC?

So what is it going to be? Stay in London air conditioned office and hide behind a radio station while denigrating Ndiigbo before minorities by senseless unity begging and sending Igbo youths to confront security personnels with sticks and die or get leg amputated and future truncated by bullets while Director stays in warmth of air conditioned room in London ridiculously calling on UN, Israel, USA ,Amnesty, etc who have better things to do with their time to come to his aid?

Is this your idea of freedom fighting? Are you this slow?

Nwanne mulu anya o!

Elvictor:
Alright, I agree with you, SS hate Igbos hope you are now fine with it?

Its not what I am fine with or not fine with.
Its the reality Igbo nation must face and triumph over.
All IPOB and MNK have done is sweep it under the carpet and by so doing exposing Ndiigbo and Igbo youths to great harm from these groups.

Amarabae:
Ohanaeze Ndigbo are in a tight corner in this country, instead of gingering them up,some dumb Ipob fools are busy insulting them up and down.
anything Igbo outside south east is delicate and ohanaeze understands that!
Wike said that there are no indigenous Igbos in Rivers state, have the so called Etche,Omuma,Ndoni etc countered him NO!
they kept quiet,so what do they expect ohanaeze to do?
If ohanaeze ndigbo leaders tries to counter wike now, those cowards will come out and deny being Igbo
leave that thing my darling!

Ohanaeze Ndiigbo are part of the problem.

Who is Igbo and who isn't changed after the war, why didn't Ohanaeze change to reflect this?

Why do we still have Ikwerre, Ogba, Ekpeye persons in Ohaneze Ndiigbo gatherings with some of them holding sensitive posts even when Ohanaeze know that the traditional rulers and clan heads of those people are Igbophobic and non Igbo?

Ohaneze makes a ridicule of Ndiigbo by not setting its house in order.

Elvictor:
the issue here is the people born before the Niger Delta and Biafra war, you can never convince these people. NK is a big fool, young minds of Niger Deltans are ready to accept Biafra ideology, the issue is the way he is going about it.

This is the issue I have with some of you. Willful ignorance induced self deceit and delusions.

How exactly did you arrive at the above?
Have you lived in Yenegoa, Omoku, Rumu villages in Obio akpor etc before and mention Biafra to the youths there?
If you don't have money to visit these places, why can't you join their Facebook pages and just type "Igbo" or "Biafra" to read previous discussion in that topic by youths there ?

Why is Nnamdi Kanu hell bent on brainwashing Igbo youths like this, distorting their minds from appreciating the deep resentment and hate from SS minorities towards them?

What exactly does MNK and IPOB want to achieve with this? Totally destroy Ndiigbo?

LordNicvuitton:
Bro trust me, there is a silent majority of Igbo that don't believe in the bullshit ipob and the lies they dish out.

You tightly pointed out that the Igbo are critical thinkers, so how do you think we'll ever have herd mentality? Never bro, never!

Ipob is seriously doing lots of damage to the mindset of simps in Igbo land. How can you love so much, an inconsequential minority tribe that it's leaders openly preach hatred toward your tribe?

Obigbo/Oyingbo massacre was a very painful thing and it's a price that these Innocents and by extension the Igbo, had to pay over the useless ipob ideology.

It's also quite unfortunate that south East leaders didn't ask serious questions as they should have, so once more, Igbo paid the ultimate price all in the name of ipob.

I don't hate Ikwerre neither do I love them, I don't see them as Igbo and I'll simply treat an individual, how he/she treats me.

The most painful aspect of all these is that if not that the ipob clowns have been simping around, Igbo as a formidable tribe that in the south, should have been feared by all southern minorities but d reverse is the case, Dem dey use us catch cruise.

It beats me how a tribe that stood their ground against an overwhelming armed forces for 3 years, could stoop so low as to be killed anyhow by the order of an ikwerre low budget Adolf Hitler.. time will tell sha.

IPOB senseless simping has finished Igbo pride kaptakpata.

Nnamdi Kanu is an Enemy of Ndiigbo and must be silenced before he destroys us.

What sort of nonsense is this.

The silent majority Igbo patriot must no longer keep quiet and allow IPOB finish us psychologically as a people.
We must start speaking up. Match their insults with even more insults, neutralize them kpatapkata and render them pariah in Igboland.

We do this by continuously sensitizing our people on the damages IPOB is causing us and the dangers it portends to our future as a race if left untamed.

Eastlink:
Exactly, a re-orientation needs to be carried out in the heads of lost IPOB youths. The damage has been done already and it’s quite shameful. Very shameful for a supposed large ethnic group to stoop so low for some recalcitrant minorities. For those of us who wear the Igbo tag with pride, it pains us more to see the simping of Kanu and his likes. I’m really disappointed. So disappointed. When we try to correct these idiots, they gang up to call us names. IPOB, MASSOB, BIZ, etc must be disbanded and ostracized in Igboland for the greater good of the Igbo ethnic pride.

If these IPOB miscreants really know the true history of the Ikwerre’s of which they like to hide, they”ll deny them every connection. Ikwerre cannot shy away from their Aro connection. Even if they come to beg to be accepted, don’t accept. Every outcast must be made to understand his 2nd class status and so be it.

Exactly my point.
You get the message well.

IPOB is now a liability in Igbo land, and should be ostracized before they finish our dignity and pride as a race.

Ifele emegbugom.

LordNicvuitton:
Truth be told, what @Igboid is saying is this; that the Igbo tribe is arguably one of the most elite tribes in Africa and to that effect, it's a shame that ipob has muddled the great Igbo tribe in the eyes of southern minorities over their stupid claims of Biafra territory blah blah blah..

I stand with Igboid on all he's said. We reasonable Igbo don't simp around, we have never needed ikwerre or idoma or anang or tiv or ijaw or any ethnic minority to attain the position we are in, economy and academic wise.

We only compete on the same level academically and economically with one ethnic group in Nigeria, the Yoruba.. every other ethnic group plays 2nd fiddle, so why subject ourselves to ridicule all because of ipob?

True Igbo should wise up oo, we don't need, has never needed ikwerre, will never need them. Even if Delta Igbo/Anioma or Obigbo/Oyingbo people say they ain't Igbo by tommorow, leave them be.. we don't beg, we've always been republican by nature, let us rebuild our states, our region, our major cities and industries, one day some day, they may even be d ones begging to be part of us, let our success speak for us bikonu..

Ezigbo nwafor ubulu ya zuru ezu who finally understands the message I am passing across.

Thank you. I take it you don't listen to the radio from London.
Because I have noticed that people who listen to that station find it hard to think independently.
Theirs is like a "hive mindset", controlled by a certain Radio director in London.

XANDERO85:
Oh please.....spare us your inane drivel!

How many times will you be told IPOB is a Biafran and not a Igbo affair!? It’s not the place of you, i or any ‘one Nigeria’ loving fool to say what the ethnicities concerned want or don’t want! IPOB isn’t forcing anyone to leave with them....it’s up to the people to decide via a referendum! And on the day, if any ethnic group say they’re not taking part, then all well and good!

Discerning minds would understand why you lot don’t want a referendum (when it happens) in any of the ethnic groups besides ‘just your 5 south-east states’ because you know within you that there’ll be an overwhelming vote to leave your bigoted, leeching ass!


PS: And IPOB would be daft to accept that your greek gift of ‘joining Nigerian partisan-politics’. It’s a trap!

See delusion.
IPOB is not just Igbo. Yet your lunatic mini god with radio station will never call out Ibibio leaders, Ekpeye leaders, Ikwerre leaders , etc out. I doubt he knows their names.
He is more interested in calling out Ohanaeze Ndiigbo leaders.

You claim your useless organization stand for all goats and chicken in SS and NC, yet when you go and cause trouble, its the Igbo that will pay the price , you all go on social media and start dragging Ndiigbo into your troubles claiming that persons and groups fighting you are Igbo haters.

Let me tell you. Your days are numbered in Igbo land.
Ndiigbo will not allow a brainless group like IPOB to cause problem for us. You are rapidly losing your goodwill among Igbo commoners. Its such a shame really, because you started well and some of us had high hopes in you. A real shame.

SlayerForever:
I'm talking about your derailment to the extent Yoruba is hailing you, you're calling ipob. Who called ipob here? You're clutching at straws. You lack tact.

IPOB are the leaders of this new stupidity in Igboland where Igbo youths can no longer even identify the Igbophobia coming from SS groups and react with appropriate hate towards offending persons or groups, because director had directed you lots to eat excreta and drink the urine from these groups.
That's why Wike is killing you lots in Obiigbo and you are still calling him and his Igbophobic Ikwerre people Igbos , because you are incapable of independent thinking, and more worrisome, some of you are experimenting with switchiing your misguided support for Wike to support to Amaechi.
You don't even understand there is no difference between the two as they are both average Ikwerre persons raised with anti Igbo sentiments from childhood.
You don't know your enemies. You are so blind that you rather focus on distant Yorubas and North while forming non existing brotherhood with groups down south that will nuke Igboland and Ndiigbo if they have access to nuclear war missiles.

Ike unu agwulam . I have been patient with you lots hoping you will come back to your senses. But the more I waited, they more it became obvious you are too far gone from rational thinking to ever come back to normalcy ever again. But it is Ndiigbo who will pay for your folly like Obiigbo just did, if we don't stop you lots.

Commonsense99:

F00l, using your own theory, when a girl dumps you then you ain't an Alpha in the first place.
This your dumping analogy makes you a beta, simp, no real igbo man tries to beg ikwerre to be part of igbo, yet real igbos are testicular enough to tell ikwerres to their face how cowardly kind of igbos they are which is a bitter red pill for you and them to swallow.

Calm down, read my post from. Page #1 again and again, if you are a little bit lucky, you might learn how to pick sarcasms from general statements..
Am outta here.

You are out of here yet you still here.

Just accept that Wike and His Ikwerre people cannot be Igbos by any definition of the tag Igbo and move on.
That's all.

As a very proud Igbo man, I consider it an insult and provocation for any Ikwerre man to refer to himself as an Igbo or for any misguided brainwashed Igbo to dash the Igbo tag to any Ikwerre man.
Its a slap on the face of any proud Igbo man, one which I will not let slide without appropriate reaction

First you have done a bad job at impersonating Ndi igbo, you are not an igbo man.
Secondly in my entire post, I still haven't seen where I begged any ikwerre to unite with Ndi igbo, if you understand English you will know the meaning of identity crisis. , the brainless lunatic here is you, cause your anger with Nnamdi kanu have blinded your common sense of analysis.
People should feel Free to be lunatics, but no one has the right to force us to interpret issues from their point of lunacy.

This doesn't mean I beg their unity, and never will, yet that doesn't mean I should hesitate from telling ikwerre man like Wike how Cowardly he and his tribe had became by denying their tribe, sequel to post biafra war losses.

The id1ot who simps arround here is you, and your lack of analytical mindset in your pretence to be igbo.
Ikwerre can claim to come from Bahamas, swahili, or Mongolia, no igbo man gives a ratass, I said it before.
What no man will tell me is to interpret that person's madness alongside him, then two lunatics have just been made.
You the nice guy who does that is the simp in this case scenario, cause no Alpha dude accepts inferior logics in the name of respecting a lunatics point of view, We say it as it is to their face.

Once again, no igbo man begs any idiat for unity , but no igbo Man should accept a mad man's angle just to please him, get that into your shyt filled brain.
And Germany formed a country without Austria but those Germans in Austria and Switzerland are still beign reffered to as cowardly kind of Germans today, same ways Ndi igbo are reffering to ikwerres as cowardly kind of igbos today, so what are you arguing?
For the last time dont quote me again on this, it's the most stvpid argument in the world.

You are a man without dignity. Grow up.

Your post is a simping post.
Ikwerres and Wike are not Igbos. Let them be. Stop calling them Igbos. You degrade Igbo tag when you "Dash" it to people not worthy of it.

No Alpha male goes around calling a gf that ditched him " his girl friend", only simps do that.
Alphas reject and bullshit any gal who rejects them and move on like they don't exist.

Igbos with Dignity have rejected Ikwerres and will never stoop low to refer to a person like Wike as Igbo.
Simps like you will not move on, hence disgracing us all.
I will keep quoting and bashing you guys if you don't stop throwing Igbo tag on undeserving groups. You can be sure of that. The mad man is never ashamed of his actions, its his relatives who are.
You lots calling Ikwerres Igbos are bringing shame to proud Igbos, and until you stop that madness, we will not leave you alone.

OfoIgbo:
Happy to note the MASSOB leadership acknowledging the name OBIGBO, and the fact that it is Igbo territory.

Having said the above, I will keep saying it that Nnamdi Kanu is a huge disaster waiting to happen as he lacks the necessary leadership competences that is needed to navigate the global political and diplomatic web.
He should have remained just the director of Radio Biafra. What is happening now was predicted by late Dr. Dozie Ikedife and the other elders that helped to form IPOB. They made it clear that Kanu's approach will lead to unnecessary bloodshed. They made this prediction, long before the Nigerian government declared IPOB a terrorist organisation. Of course, Kanu pilloried them and used the fact that he's the mouthpiece via Radio Biafra, to run down this well meaning and seasoned. Igbo elders. The result is what we see today.

No one now bothers to investigate the massacre of IPOB members, because of the way Kanu has been leading, and this was predicted. Unfortunately, some of these elders have passed away. Dr. Dozie Ikedife, Col. Joe Achuzie and Barr. Debe Odumegwu-Ojukwu.

If IPOB is to regain the aura and effectiveness that her initiators planned out, then the leadership has to be handed to people like Tony Nnadi of the LNC fame, a seasoned barrister with the swerve disposition to stand toe to toe with global leaders, and with an effective roadmap that will eventually lead to self-determination. Even Emeka Emeksri of the other faction of IPOB will do a better job of leading IPOB.

With regards to the massacre at Obigbo, I assigned 10% fault to Kanu. 90% of the fault for that carnage still lies with the following entities
1 Wike
2 Buhari
3 Buratai
4 The Nigerian army

Tony Nnadi and his LNC is no different from IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu.
The only difference is that Nnadi don't have tactless and brainwashed followers IPOB have.

Any Igbo man trying to form organization that is geared towards freeing Igbo from Nigeria that does not limit such organization to first and foremost within Igboland already failed before it began. It shows the person is not aware of intricate details of Nigerian Unity.

Any serious Igbo group that will fight for Igbo freedom will first and foremost limit the movement to Igboland. Grow the movement into a political organization that will control directly or indirectly every single politically elected person in Igboland. Only when has been done, can such organization through a position of power reach out to other interest groups in NC or SS for whatever form of synergistic cooperation needed to generate the critical mass to force the powers that be to restructure Nigeria, grant regional autonomy to the six geopolitical regions. When this is done , the group can then work for permanent secession.

Having the control of who becomes governor or hold political post in Igboland will enable the group control Ohanaeze Ndiigbo too and choose who heads the organization, since we know Ohanaeze Ndiigbo is but an appendage of SE governors forum since they are the ones that bankroll it.

Having control of SE governors and Ohaneze Ndiigbo will for the first time since 1960s make Ndiigbo strong again with unified resolve and purpose.

This was the task sensible Igbos thought IPOB would have used their goodwill of the Igbo commoners to pursue.
Instead we got a group incapable of strategic reasoning, who can't think long term planning let alone execution. Fighting with SE governors and Ohaneze when they could control both bodies and dictate the tune.

Theboss100:
I am a core Ikwerre man from Obia/Apkor LGA just in case you don't know. I can't be a unity begger, can I? Your brain is incapacitated to process facts that's why you tag everybody unity beggar. Oh, I almost forgot, my grandma is from Imo state. I love Igno people so much, this country is nothing without them. If you insult Igbo people, no that you're also insulting my grandma and I will come for ya ass.
So you better

You Ikwerre Bini man.
Good for you. Stay in your Ikwerre zone and leave Ndiigbo alone.

Having Igbo mother doesn't make anyone Igbo.
Igbo is a partriarchy and not matriarch society.

Commonsense99:
You claim igboid in your moniker, but your comment have just given you f00l away.
You see 2 arguments I don't engage in are,
1) ikwerre is not igbo
2) That a gay is no longer a man.
The two arguments are closely related to a lunatic who wants you to address him from the prism of his delusive grandeur.
Its OK for a lunatic to surfer from delusions but you a lunatic have no right to tell me to see you from your angle of lunacy..
Presenting the issue as it is doesn't mean I have any affinity or inclination to relate to ikwerre, but their identity crisis is still not reason enough for me to lose my own line of reasoning.

Let this be the last time you re3ard will quote me on this.

Don't be stupid. Ethnic identity is an optional thing.
You have native Germans in Switzerland, Italy, Austria,Lichtenstein. They all don't want to be called Germans and Germany respected their wish because Germany knows they can be great without those minority Germanic groups I mentioned.
Germans are too proud a race to go about begging for Unity or simping Around. They believed in themselves and today, Germany is the biggest economy in Europe.

The Germans in Switzerland, Italy, Lichtenstein, Austria are doing well for themselves too, but none of them come close to Germany in greatness.

Why are some of you without group Pride and dignity trying to make it seem like Ndiigbo cannot achieve greatness without few Igboid ethnicities scattered in SS. These people insult denigrate and humiliate Ndiigbo. Their official bodies like Ogbakor Ikwerre and Uzugbani Ekpeye, and those of Ogba and Etche have made it obvious they are not Igbos and want nothing to do with us.
Why can't some of you show dignity and reject these people too?
Why can't you show yourselves self love and return their hate with hate.
Why are you this insufferable.
Why is it difficult for you to accept that these people are rabidly Igbophobic and will not hesitate to harm you(Ndiigbo) even more than Ijaws, Yorubas or Northerners can?

Who cursed you? Who stole your brains that you can no longer reason?
Ndiigbo use to be a wise people capable of rational thinking, what is happening to our today youths ?Why can't you free yourselves from the brainwashing of a clueless and misguided man with radio station situated in London?

Obulu ogwu na oma ele! Tufiakwa!

Bro its frustrating... The unity begging thing is so annoying. They ve changed the name of pH and some other areas to some old names they keep referring to them as. They ve refused to listen or learn and the worst is that they re rubbing the entire se in the mud.

Every Igbo person that have ever lived in PH knows that the type of Igbo hate the average Ikwerre man has, the Yoruba or Northerners don't even have half of it.
The natural thing a wise people do is to show hate to any group who hate them.
But IPOB have no thinking ability.
Their Unity begging and simping is out of this world, they are a disgrace to Ndiigbo.

Theboss100:
[s] You comment is fill of shit. Not worth reading. Grow some brain please.

cc Igboid.

Don't be silly.
IPOB is a disgrace to Ndiigbo.
Big disappointment.

No proud Igbo son whose brain is not controlled by a lunatic with radio Station in London will identity with IPOB as it stands.

You lots are insufferable.

Ogbuu101:
Take it easy.
The manner wey you carry this Igbo matter for head despite your 'Igboid' moniker is suspicious.
Amaechi, a 2 term governor, a former speaker and a fellow Ikwere declared himself Igbo.
So, who are you in the scheme of things?

Don't be stupid. Amaechi is not different from Wike.
You IPOBs are incapable of critical reasoning.
Every one with brain will know that Wike is as Igbophobic as an average Ikwerre man. The antecedents were all there. Wike had renamed a stadium in PH after Gowon , a man who is to Ndiigbo what Hitler was to Jews. Wike in this ceremony of renaming took microphone and told the whole world how Rivers and Ikwerre people are grateful for Gowon saving them from the hands of Igbos( he was cryptic about this ,but it was still obvious) who tried to kill them and annex their lands during the war.
Wike had decimated Igbo business in PH, look what Ikoku boys are passing through.

All these we tried pointing out to you lots, but you wouldn't listen because you can't use your brains. You left it for a con man in London with radio station to be doing your thinking for you.

Now listen. Amaechi is not different from Wike or any average Ikwerre person out there as far as Igbophobia is concerned. He is only claiming Igbo because he knows some Igbos are brainless so he wants to add you to his support base. You will be stupid to allow an opportunist Ikwerre man use you.
Amaechi has many Igbophobic antecedents like all Ikwerre people. During his tenure as Rivers state governor, he once asked GEJ why he was treating Ikwerre and Rivers state like Biafrans, this was in response to Rivers state losing some oil wells to Bayelsa state under GEJ presidency.
Under Amaechi reign as Transport minister, we have lost all progress we made in Enugu international airport under Oduah ,while his native Ikwerre Airport keeps getting better, so much that he prized Ethiopia airways from Enugu to PH as regional hub. SE was excluded from railway plan under Amaechi too.

Amaechi recently appeared in newspapers telling audience that Igbos cannot aspire for presidency under APC because we didn't support APC. Throughout the rambling, Amaechi referred to Ndiigbo as "They" and not "We".
Amaechi is also a bonafide member of Ogbakor Ikwerre, a very well known Igbophobic organization.

Some of you have refused to grow sense, but the sensible Igbos will not allow you senseless ones drag us to the mud and allow inconsequential groups and persons from SS disgrace us.

slowice:
The guy is a slug... I ve met some silly igbos like him and I feel ashamed. The greatest tribe in Africa claiming ownership of a people that clearly detest them. I was born and breed in ikwerre land and I must tell you that they re the most igbophobic group in Nigeria. Hausas re better receiving of the igbo man than them.

They are disgraceful.
All they do is simp around Igbophobic groups in SS.
Tainting the dignity and pride of Ndiigbo with their stupidity and brainless unity begging.

IPOB is a curse to Ndiigbo and every Igbo community must try to expunge them from our communities.

Limit Biafra to proud Igbo communities in SE and few ones in SS and leave Ikwerres and other Bini Igboids alone , they will not agree. The brainless lots will be simping around minorities, giving them misplaced sense of importance to Ndiigbo.
IPOB will claim they speak for the entire SS , but you will never see them go to Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, etc cities to carry out their activities.
They allow few of their minorities friends to join them. MNK even went ahead to pay Asari Dokubo to join them when they knowing fully well that these people by no means represent the wish and aspirations of their people back home.

And when things go awry, IPOB will not call on the leaders of minorities or blame them because they know those people want nothing to do with Biafra. Instead IPOB will shamelessly start dragging Ohanaeze and SE governors into their mess or try tragging their entire Igbo people into it.
Because they know the truth that Biafra is but an Igbo struggle.

Emilo:
Can u explain the similarities in culture and similarities in names.

A group of Bini people on their way to the place called Ikwerre today , suffered permanent brain damage and lost their Bini language and culture. Every single memory of it was wiped clean from their brain memory. This was unprecedented in history.

When they arrived at Ikwerre land, they had no option but to borrow the Igbo language and culture of their Igbo neighbours. The magnanimous Igbo ancestors expedited this language transfer process by giving Igbo daughters as wives to these lost Bini people Over time, they used their Bini tongue to distort the Igbo language they borrowed to create a denatured language they call Ikwerre language and culture.

However knowing they owe their total existence (culture and language) to Igbo neighbours, instigated a sense of inferiority complex in these Bini people, which grew over time to become the Igbophobia in Ikwerre land we have today.

This is the genesis of cultural and language similarities between Ndiigbo and Ikwerres.

Its been a story of magnanimous Igbo neighbours and lost Bini people who rather than show gratitude to Igbo neighbours for helping them have a language and a culture they could call their own, seeing as their Bini ancestors couldn't evolve one, decided to repay Igbos with eternal hate.

Simplyleo:
Are you aware Rivers state is oil rich?
There lies the forced marriage/attachment.

I doubt this is about oil.
If it were they wouldn't be dragging Igalas, Idomas and Cross River tribes.
None of these people have oil .
IPOB is just brainless organization ran by a lunatic and he has infected many Igbo youths with this madness.

How can a sane person say that his criteria for forming a country is if the group to be incorporated has their mothers tying two wrappers.

This stream of thought process can only emanate from a disturbed mind.

Dpharisee:
@bolded,
1. Ogbakor is an Igbo word meaning gathering or meeting, it's not a Bini word.
2. Why are you celebrating the murder of fellow citizens irrespective of their ethnicity
I can see that the hate for Igbos is too much and many here are liking your comment

You obviously lack common basic understanding and comprehension skills.
Re read that my post again, this time try to put o your brain while doing so.

Commonsense99:

Ezenwo Wike, an igbo man from ikwerre extraction, is now saying Rivers, a state with over 50% igboid indigenes, will be home to igbos?
Can't you see the stvpidity in his politically motivated self induced identity crisis,?
what Ojukwu called intentional amnesia

Meanwhile zamfara is still selling their own gold while people like Wike whose relatives are guarding pipelines for Fulanis still believes his igboid neighbours are his problem.

You lack commonsense.

Wike and Ikwerre people are not Igbos. Peeps like you without sense of group dignity is exactly why Wike and his Ikwerre people are using Ndiigbo to wipe the floor.
Grow a brain biko.

How exactly is it your concern if Fulani are draining oil wealth in Rivers state?
Why are you crying more than the bereaved, where are your senses?

Wike and his people think Igbos are their problems, why won't they, when peeps like you have refused to grow up. You seem to suffer from a form of Stockholm syndrome.

Ikwerre under Ogbakor Ikwerre had made it clear they are not Igbos, Ikwerre people on the average are the most Igbophobic group you will find out there. Wike again demonstrated it by killing Ndiigbo in Obiigbo, yet your brain cannot get the message.
You are still here saying Wike is an Igbo man, are you retarded?

The Itsekiri never considered themselves Yorubas and never in history did Itsekiri fly under Yoruba banner. Even the colonial masters never grouped Itsekiri under Yoruba.

And you are wrong. Itsekiri who were in Warri division of the western region voted in majority against staying in Western region.

See the result below.


The question is not whether Ilajes are Yoruba speaking or not. The question is that those oil producing parts of Ilaje could have been left in Delta and identity crisis instigated there to diminish Ondo crude oil output.
But that wasn't done. Which is by the way the correct call.
But in Igbo areas, the opposite was done. All oil bearing Igbo speaking communities at the border with Rivers state was dubiously ceded to Rivers state and identity crisis instigated and promoted those places.
One excused used by mammar Nasir boundary adjustment commission to cede Obiigbo to Rivers state was that it was using Imo River as the natural boundary between old IMO and Rivers state and not ethnicity, but we know this isn't true, because Omumu LGA which was on SE part of IMO River was also ceded to Rivers state on the pretense that Etche LGA who are their kin and kiths were already in Rivers state.
If the adjustment was done in good faith and not out of evil intent, Omuma would have remained in SE using IMO river as natural boundary between SE and Rivers state. But we know better.

before the civil war go and read up

Post the a neutral source reporting such Igbo invasion of so called Niger Delta.
I am waiting.

Lol, if Itshekiri don't speak Yorubas then aniomans ain't Igbos.

All historical documents recognized Anioma as Western Igbo land and always counted them as Igbo without the people objection. Chief Dennis Osadebey of Asaba was one the big wigs of defunct Igbo Union.

Can you show me any document in history where Itsekiri was counted under Yoruba and not as an independent group of their own?

Elvictor:
do you also know Igbo fought Niger Delta to claim their lands? we took it back. ntooorr!! we will soon chase you guys outaa of that land. thieves

When exactly did Ndiigbo fight non existing Niger Delta to take their land?

States in Nigeria are units of Administration and not necessarily ethnic homelands whose boundaries may be difficult to establish.



Geographical landmarks, certain Historical events and sometimes aspirations of the people were used to set boundaries between States.

Examples of what you raised abound all over the country.

Jebba is divided into two, one part in Kwara and the other part in Niger State.

Owena is partly in Osun and partly in Ondo State.

Akokoland is partly in Ondo & partly in Edo State
KareKare peoples are partly in Bauchi & partly in Yobe State.

Some Ekiti Towns are carved into Kwara State (They even have EKiti LGA, Kwara State) while the bulk of Ekiti form their own State in the S/West.

Exactly my point.
Obiigbo being carved out into Rivers does not erase the fact that the indigenous people of Obiigbo remains Igbo and their land remains part and parcel of Igbo land.

In the case of Obiigbo, there has been a clear attempt by non Igbos in Rivers to deIgbonize them, which started with renaming of the town from Obiigbo to Oyiigbo, and then claims and counter claims by Rivers people that Obiigbo people are migrants in their own land and should vacate the land and migrate to Abia state.

These Igbophobic elements in Rivers state don't seem to realize that states are artificial creation and that Obiigbo people have always occupied their land up until it was transferred to Rivers state.

But Wike said it in front of Igbo leaders that igbos are not indigenes to Rivers state. so how come Ohaneze Ndigbo and southeast Governors agreed with wike that igbos are not indigenes to any south-south states that they should respect their host

Because Ohanaeze Ndiigbo and Igbo governors have always been useless and can't stand for the people they claim to represent.
Its the vaccum of leadership created by Ohanaeze Ndiigbo and useless Igbo governors that Nnamdi kanu and IPOB who themselves are useless and bereft of critical reasoning, are exploiting to the detriment of Igbo commoners.

Christistruth00:
Itsekiri speak Yoruba and against their own will were carved into the Midwest. They also have Oil. Yoruba accepted it.

Itsekiri don't speak Yoruba. Stop it already.
Their language is Yoruboid but they have at no point in history identified as Yorubas, they have always been distinct. Stop being mischievous .
There is no single colonial census in Nigeria where Itsekiri were counted as Yorubas. They have always been a distinct group.
And for all its Worth, Itsekiri became a part of Midwest region by referendum. They voted alongside other minorities to leave Western region.
They were not carved out of Western region by a military fiat.

In fact certain parts of Delta state that were oil rich were ceded to Ondo state during these boundary adjustments .
