Justice35:Hoha! Ejikwanu Igbo agwa onye ocha! |
richie240:It's not the clothing that makes you who you are. It's your traits, your character. Mere wearing a ward coat and prancing around hospital wards does not make anyone a medical doctor. It's the character, the knowledge, the abilities. Ikwerres might as well bear Igbo names and speak a corrupted version of Igbo language. But these people are not Igbos. God forbid! The amount of Igbophobic behavior I have observed from Ikwerres. Not even Hausa Fulani or Yorubas could muster a quarter of it. Join Ikwerre facebook pages and see. Those of you Igbos shouting that Ikwerres are Igbos are not doing Ndiigbo any good. Nothing good could come to Ndiigbo from association with Ikwerres. Make una move on Biko. |
“There is something ethnic, and I am going through it now. If you check on the internet there are articles saying that Okonjo-Iweala has gone ethnic, but I believe in merit and competition and I don’t really care what part of the country you come from as long as you can do your job, and that has always been my tenet. So, actually Igbo don’t find that I am that convincing because, I think, in Nigeria, we need to have a culture of merit. But by the way, when you think of merit and competition Igbos don’t do badly and that is a problem,we do rather well. Somebody said everybody in the financial sector is Igbo then they began to list people like the deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Director-General of Stock Exchange, Director-General of Securities and Exchange Commission, Director-General of Debt Management Office, myself and Sovereign Wealth Fund.”https://thenationonlineng.net/okonjo-iweala-could-speak-more-circumspectly/amp/ Okonjo Iweala is from Anioma and was being accused of running an Igbo agenda. She had the opportunity to play the ambiguity game by denying Ndiigbo and referring to us as "they", which was exactly what Nigerians going after her ethnicity wanted her to do. But the Amazon came through for us. Stood firm on her Igbo identity and defended Ndiigbo strongly. This is what is called ethnic pride. These are people we should be embracing. You don't embrace a people/person that embarasses and denounces relationship with you in public and even exhibit toxic hate towards you. That's madness. Igbos saying Ikwerres or Amaechi are Igbo need psychiatrist examination. They are not mentally okay. Notice her (Okonji) use of "we". She never said "they". Why? Because her Enuani and in particular Ogwashi uku people have always been proudly Igbos. If for any reason we want to run an Igbo presidency from outside SE. It must be from Igbo groups such as Enu ani who have shown loyalty to the Igbo tag, who have not played politics with the Igbo tag, who have shown us support, solidarity, and harbour no hate or resentment towards us, we must learn to reward loyalty and show strong antagonism towards those that seek to embarrass, disgrace and demean us, if we want to grow, those whose Igbo tag is subject to political expediency must never benefit politically or otherwise from Igbo Union. You disrespect such groups like Enuani , Oyigbo, Egbema, who have stayed true to their Igbo identity, when you let the Bini people of Ikwerre reap where they not only didn't sow, but where they scattered and urinated on. That's not how you build a strong ethnic unity. That's stupidity and chaos. |
IkwerrePikin:Are you saying you don't share PHLGA with Okirika people? ![]() |
Okonjo Iweala is from Anioma . From the Royal house of Ogwashi uku who trace their origin to great Nri kingdom. Let's contrast her rebuttal when she was accused of running Igbo agenda by Nigerians and was put on spotlight to deny Igbo,with Amaechi and his Bini Ikwerre people response to same. Because it's beginning to look like Igbos lack the basic abilities to discern manipulation by enemies posing as brothers when they see one. Now mind you, I'm not oblivious to the fact that the OP could be an impostor from the "shadowy group",but the truth is that he represents fully the Ikwerre and Amaechi stance. Notice how Amaechi first of all tried to talk down on Igbo chances in 2023, trying to remind APC hierarchy that Ndiigbo didn't vote for Buhari in mass, hence not deserving of the slot. This is the same argument Yorubas are offering. Do you now see why it's easy for some Igbos to mistake Ikwerre opinions and people here as Yorubas? Igbos are yet to understand that there is no difference between Ikwerres and Yorubas as far as Igbophobia is concerned. Ikwerres are worst because they wear an Igbo veneer in form of Igbo names, so many Igbos are oblivious of the fact that they pose same risk to us and harbour even more bitterness and hate than any Yoruba could muster towards us. Back to Amaechi. Having advocated the argument that Igbos don't deserve presidency in 2023, he and his people are now trying to claim that Amaechi represents Igbo presidency, while still maintaining that they are not Igbos. They are also trying to sell the narrative that Igbos are political liability, and are anti APC , never mind that Rivers is not an APC state. If Ndiigbo do not stand still and maintain that Ikwerre are Confused Bini people with just 3.5LGA to offer, if we dare accept these people as Igbos, we would have committed a political suicide. I will be back. |
IkwerrePikin:It's 3.5 LGAs. You share PHLGA with Okirika people. |
“I think what is important, which I have said to the Igbos severally is that they need to be part of national politics. If they are not part of National Politics they cannot be President.Oho! Guyman finally told you that Ikwerre bu Ikwerre while Igbo bu Igbo. If Ikwerre bu Igbo, then Igbo presidency will not need to have to first cover Ikwerre interests, because Igbo interests should be Ikwerre interests, just as Igbo interests are Ngwa interests because Ngwa is truly Igbo, owu ya ko ona owughi ya? ![]() I hope this would have reseted the brains of Igbos still yapping the Ikwerre is Igbo nonsense and the Amaechi said he is Igbo trash. So if a con man tell you he is one of you to dupe you, you will accept and get duped? Unu adalu panya? Ka unu ana añu omo? ![]() Show group dignity and know when an opportunist is trying to exploit your emotions. Ndiigbo malununu ife for once nu! Haba emelu unu ife eme?

Let's examine Amaechi rebuttal to Peter Obi after Obi rightly told him that he isn't Igbo and not in position to speak on Igbo presidency as well as reminded him of his political uselessness in not being able to secure 50% of votes in Rivers state for APC. Amaechi said that for the Igbos to get the Presidency in 2023, they must be part of “National Politics”.Okay Amaechi had the opportunity to establish his Igbo identity above, but guess what? He cunningly evaded the question, because he is on a deception mission. But the truth is that Peter Obi too does not have the locus to speak about Igbo Presidency because he and his party couldn’t win the presidential election.The cunning Bini Yoruba man is still beating round the bush o! Kedu ndi eriri eri, ndi "Amaechi bu onye Igbo" yen!yen!yen! I hope you lots can see? Guy man ji unu agba boolu. Ndi isi azu. “I think what is important, which I have said to the Igbos severally is that they need to be part of national politics. If they are not part of National Politics they cannot be President.There you go. The Bini Yoruba man refers to Ndiigbo as "they" again like he has always done in the past. Bikonu! Does anyone refer to a group they are part of as "they"? Is there something I'm missing here? Ndi isi azu, ndi isi aku oyibo, ndi Ikwerre /Amaechi bu Igbo, okwa unu na afu? ![]() |
“He did not even achieve anything in his own state. Those of us from the Southeast who are from the PDP contributed to the success of our party. The PDP in my state got 95 per cent. They (APC) didn’t even get 25 per cent in Rivers State. So he is not competent to speak on the Presidency in 2023.” ~Peter Obi https:///regional/ssouth-east/332296-2023-you-are-in-no-position-to-write-igbos-off-obi-tells-amaechi.html Obi did well putting the Bini Yoruba man called Ramaechi Rotimi RChibuikehn in his place. |
I don’t know what they will do now for voting against the APC,” he said. “For refusing to support the APC, they cannot come to the table to demand the presidency slot. “For people like us in the APC, if the Igbo had come and voted Buhari, they would boldly tell Mr President and the National Chairman of the party that presidency should go the Southeast since the South-south; South-west and North-west have produced president. What argument would the Southeast come up with now to convince anybody that they deserve the slot for 2023 president?” This is Amaechi ufodu Ndiigbo uche ha ezughi ezu na akpor onye Igbo. An Edo Yoruba man who speaks about Ndiigbo in the above manner and rightly refer to us as "they". I swear, some Igbos deserve brain transplant. Ndi eriri eri. Ndi ubulu eke! |
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thecable.ng/amaechi-igbo-dont-have-anything-to-bargain-for-2023-presidency/amp See the clownish Bini Yoruba man called Ramaechi Rotimi. Only senseless Igbos will fall for this deception from.a Bini Yoruba man. |
Collyweed:Dalu nwannem. |
Amaechi and Ikwerre are not Igbo and no SENSIBLE Igbo see them as Igbo. OP take note. |
24SEVEN:This Bini man, why are you tagging me up and down in the congregation of your fellow pained Igbo phobic co travellers? Tinubu has been used and dumped, however the North will make his dumping as honorable as possible, that's the least he deserves for his role of ousting a Southern president to allow a Northern president ascend. |
hollah123:I tried to understand your point, but I couldn't. |
proeast:I don't think Yorubas need Ilorin or are interested in getting it back. Ilorin in the hands of the caliphate is very important connection to the caliphate for the Yoruba Muslims. It serves like a cord between them and their Fulani Muslim brothers. You take Ilorin away from the caliphate, you severe that cord and create a rift between them and their Fulani Muslim brothers. I think Ojukwu didn't think these things through. Either way, the aim of this thread is to show that there is no pleasing Igbophobic entities and that they would do or say anything to get our support when they need it. Ijaw youths were saying all these here, because they needed Igbo support for GEJ. They know the truth but choose the comforting lies. The apology tendered here was not a genuine one. It was an opportunist one. This is same path Ikwerres and Amaechi are hoping to take. We must know when these by default Igbophobic groups are being opportunists and not fall for their emotional gimmicks. Amaechi and Ikwerre have maintained they are not Igbos before now, they have never been apologetic to their roles in the war, in fact they robbed salt to injury when Wike named an Edifice in Ikwerreland after Gowon, it's akin to an edifice being named after Hitler in a supposedly Israeli territory. Amaechi and Ikwerre people supported Wike with their consenting silence. We must never forget! |
sageb:"In an authoritative and detailed memorandum on the background, cause and consequences of the Nigerian civil war issued in November 1968 by more than sixty British subjects, including Sir Robert Stapleton, the last British governor of the Eastern region( 1959-60), it was concluded that of the 37 percent of the population which they estimated that minority group represented in Biafra, only 10% would favour continued association with the federal government". The. New York review of Books, Volume 14,Number 8. April 23, 1970 The above neutral report should suffice. |
Here is what Wiwa had to say on Ogoni position during the war. Wiwa was a minority in Ogoni because the most of Ogoni elders and elites were pro Biafra. It took the guns of his former friend Abacha now pointing at him, to get him to say the truth. Because obviously the post civil war narratives Wiwa pushed was that Igbos forced Biafra on his Ogoni people.

Not the distorted post war narratives they are currently projecting. |
Igboid:I Don't agree with everything Asari said above. But the central message was that the mainstream Buguma were pro Biafra until the area was captured by Nigeria and few rebels from their seized the opportunity to rewrite the script and grab power. |
Asari Dokubo Issues Warning to Ndi-Igbo over Biafra Abandoned Property "It is better for our Igbo brothers to learn humility and stop this nonsense....many members of my family were killed for their support for Biafra.My grand uncle King Fredrick Princewill,Amachree X111,Amanyanabo of Kalabari abdicated the Kalabari throne because of his support for Biafra. My grandmother Princess Okukuba W.D.Goodhead...immediate senior sister to His Majesty The King...was almost executed by firing squad by the invading Nigerian Military led by her Nephew Capt. Erasmus J.T.Princewill son of her elder brother King J.T.Princewill,Amachree X11....on her support for Biafra. My grand Aunty who was nickname Madam Biafra....grand mother of a former Foreign Minister of Nigeria was taking through very painful torture before execution. My maternal uncle one of the first lawyers in the Eastern Region never return home till his death because of his support for Biafra. My father was a Biafran officer in the medical Corp. My statement is recorded on tape....I never said we were taught....I said we were told many stories by our elders which we now discovered to be false. On abandon property.....my Father or Mother did not benefit from properties left behind by Igbos....infact my family lost a lot of properties at Iguta. All my great grand Mothers except one were Igbos. The ancestral stool I occupy today...Edi Abali was founded by an Igboman from Abom in Abam in 1782. I am an Igbo man because Allah gracious allowed Ijaw, Igbo and Bini blood to flow in mine veins......I am not begging to be Igbo.As I will not beg to be Gambari,Yoruba or Efik . Please please stop this nonsense it will not help you....We the Ijaws have been fighting our wars without your assistance...but it will be better for all of us to work together for our common purpose." Asari Dokubo |
Igboid:For those asking for minorities who were members of Biafran government. Biafra was divided into Provinces and minorities had theirs with indigenous provincial administrators. |

Forty-five years after the end of the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, the Ijaw youths in Rivers State have publicly denounced the role their parents played in the war. They, however, pleaded for forgiveness, saying that if the level of awareness and information available today were in the country then, that the Ijaw would have supported the Biafran cause. Speaking at an Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) submit held in Owerri, the Imo State capital, the president of Ijaw Youth Council, Comrade Udengs Eradiri, stated that the Ijaw erred by not supporting the Biafran cause, citing lack of awareness and misinformation. “If we had the type of awareness and information technology we have today then, we would have stood firmly with Biafra to win the war, but we are working hard to resolve the issue,” he stated. He expressed joy that notwithstanding their role in the civil war, “Ndigbo voted overwhelmingly for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in 2011 and since then the zone has been supporting his administration.” According to him the Ijaw youth were pleased with the understanding and pledged that Niger Delta youths would support Ndigbo “when it is their turn to produce the next president of the country.” He regretted, however, that the issue of injustice that led to the civil war “is still the same issue bedevilling the country today.” Appealing to youth to work to return President Jonathan on March 28, he said the president has done well to uplift the lives of Nigerians, including the almajaris, who were neglected by leaders in the past. Pointing at some of the things that the president had done in areas of local content, cabottage law, establishing of 12 new universities, rail system, fighting of Ebola virus, setting, among others, he said the nation had not had it so good in its history. Speaking also at the summit, host president of Ohanaeze Youth Council, Mazi Okechukwu Isieguzo, said that the youths have resolved to vote for President Jonathan. ”We have decided to pitch our tenet with the re-election of President Jonathan. We are reaffirming that with our structures in the North, we will give the 25 per cent requirement to return the president to the seat, he said. While calling on politicians who want to use the youth for their selfish ambition to desist from such act, he expressed disappointment in some ministers for not doing enough to support the President re-election bid and called on such ministers to resign. |
Throwback to when Ijaw youths came to beg Igbo youths for their role in the civil war. http://dailyindependentnig.com/2015/02/ijaw-youth-beg-ndigbo-forgiveness-role-civil-war/ Who is deceiving who now? |
ludd2018:Stop blaming Yorubas for what they are not responsible for. Ikwerre are the ones pushing their Bini narratives, not Yorubas. Amaechi has many times referred to Igbos as "they". He is Igbo when it's expedient and non Igbo when it's convenient. You will be stupid to take such a person serious. An Igbo accepting an Ikwerre as an Igbo is as stupid as a man accepting a "runs" girl as a life partner. You know she is not loyal yet you let your emotions and not your head down the thinking for you, and you surely lose out in the end. Ikwerres are that "runs" girl with questionable loyalty ndiigbo must discard to move forward. Don't allow yourself to be emotionally blackmailed. |
ludd2018:Please! Ikwerre will join their Edo brothers not Biafra. |
24SEVEN:How is what Ndiigbo want and doesn't want any of your concerns? Face your front Biko. Monitoring Bini spirits. |
Kwon1999:I don't understand what you mean by culturally western Igbo. Ogwaashi uku is part of Western Igbo yet are descendants of Nri in Eastern Igbo. Can we as well claim that Ogwashiuku is culturally Eastern Igbo? Please Igbo is Igbo. If you start going the way you are, you cause confusion because everyone is intertwined within the Igbo. |
24SEVEN:Lol! This pained man from an ethnic group of confused Bini ancestors. Biafra and Igbo presidency in Nigeria are not mutually exclusive. We have an Igbo senator in Italy and Igboland is not part of Italy . Ndiigbo don't care about Wike, Amaechi or any Ikwerre man. Stay in your lane, and we stay in ours. Okwu agwu. |
Kwon1999:Onitsha is not Anioma. Anioma is a political union which Onitsha is not part of. Onitsha is Eastern Igbo. |
