This epistle you have written clearly shows Ikwerre committed nothing against Igbos except saying they are distinct. Any Ikwerre who says he is Igbo is right since he has logical reason to do so.

Again, Amaechi has always identified as Igbo. He even hosted an event in honor of Ojukwu when he was governor of Rivers. you have heard him say nobody should deny him his Igboness. You can reach out to him and engage him in open debate if you feel otherwise.

And FYI, different Ikwerre clans have different historical origin.

24SEVEN:
Show me instances of hate meted on Igbos by Ikwerres. Has there been any fracas or whatever. Has there been any inter ethnic violence. why are you overwhelmed by hate, simply because Ikwerre said they originated from Benin.

, don't mind this IPOB goon.

24SEVEN:
Onitsha people also came from Benin, but are now Igbos.

Amaechi will contest under APC and you can't do anything. When he was using Rivers money to sponsor Buhari, where were others.

24SEVEN:
If you agree Ikwerre has similar language and culture with Igbos. And also that Igbo is an aggregation of people with similar language and culture. Then Ikwerre is Igbo.

Simple logic bro.

Ekwutox:
If Igbo's vote for those tribally ambiguous and hateful people then I'll know that our problem is truly spiritual.

Don't allow these hateful ikwerre people to reign on your emotions, if there should be an Igbo presidency, it should be from the SE. We should never let these confused people, take us for a ride.

They don't care about us and WON'T HESITATE to throw us under the bus if need be.

chrisxxx:
You can't deny your identity. And we are out to claim what really belongs to us the Ikwerres. Ibos are Ikwerres. The language they speak is ours. Don't let size to deceive you. You can't change the truth. Ibos are Ikwerres.

Osagyefo98:
We are talking of Igbo presidency and not Ikwerre presidency..

Amaechi should contest for president of Ogbakor Ikwerre and not Nigeria.


Moreover I will rather vote Atiku or even Buhari than any Amaechi..

sageb:
No, he is not igbo. Sir Udo Udoma is an Ibibio man from Nsit Ibom in Akwa Ibom. He is the father of the former minister of Budget and planning in Buhari first term, sen. Udo Udoma.

Graysons:
how is it Clark fault that Jonathan was and still a clueless buffoon?
We are in a jungle mate it's either eat or be eaten
Clark did no wrong.

SaintBishop:
We have no interest in being known all over the world what we want is to make our izon nation a better place for our children and grandchildren to enjoy, and not being a nuisance like you( igbos) to the society.

Graysons:
Edward Clark is right!

SaintBishop:
Edward Clark did the right thing Jonathan was nothing but a big failure not only to his people but to humanity.
and yes ijaws deserved 110 % of amnesty program.
As for us not being your mates we can't argue with that you Igbo are notorious criminals nobody can beat that.

Sammy07:
Okay, do you agree that there are thousands of Igbos on Nairaland who uses Yoruba Monika to cause confusion and disunity among the Yorubas?

Sammy07:
You're funny ooo, yet the handler enugupikin write in igbo.

Do you even know the meaning of afonja?

Sammy07:
If I'm behind the handle, I'll be calling my fellow Brethren Afonja??

Is like you ate akpu this morning.

Sammy07:
Check his post history.
enugupikin is an igbo boy.

Check his post history and see the number of likes he gets whenever he mentioned afonja.

Ilaumoh:
Again you and your kind are the reason Akwa Ibomite or even south south don't want biafra becos you guys don't even like us...you won't allow your hate to make the propose country prosper and I can't believe your from enugu becos there are not known to hate atleat the once I know.

Efezik007:
I support Biafra Republic for the Igbo's. but Nnamdi Kanu will destroy the struggle for the Igbo's.

insulting the leader of Pan-Niger Delta Forum and other ethnic groups in the region might lead to great consequences against the Igbo's in future time. the Niger Deltans have said it times without numbers, that they are not Biafra

T9ksy:
Yeah................Awo was also jailed for tribalism and nepotism ati bebelo.

According to the breaking news from the mad cownu. That's proof enough, isn''t it?

You guys can be so daft, sha.

T9ksy:
You got proof? or it's just another "breaking news" from ipob newsreel

“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 [b] Igbos don’t do badly and that is a problem, we do rather well. [/b]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.”

Swtbabyvee:
they r not Igbos mr man !! U and ur Igbo brothers can keep decieving yourselves

Spiff20:
They said she's from Anambra. Truth is most of the successful names in Igbo aren't really Igbo per say some are from Delta Igbo. Like Elumelu, Emiefele, Ibe Kachikwu, Okocha. Let every Igbo just join the neighboring state let's know who are the real Niger Deltans so we stop sharing this glory.

strykr:
Are you this obsessed with South easterners/Igbos. The article is talking about Northerners, the national assembly member that raised the bill was a Northerner. Every single person or thing mentioned was about not, yet you still found a way to bring easterners into the discussion. Is this not madness or what do we call it.

Igbo obsession is very real o. Didn't know Igbo love and care is this important to your lives.

When I said Nigerdelta republic cannot be possible, people said I was just talking trash or being too pro-Igbo.
Looking at the bad blood through this.
It is not difficult to see a people who can live together under a country.

As someone from Plateau. My people, Taraba, Nasarawa and other smaller Middlebelt tribes can never live together with Tiv, Igala, Ebira and Nupe people in one country if Nigeria divides. I don't need a soothsayer to tell me this.

I keep on telling many people, the unity and balance of Nigeria with many factors is what is still enabling many of us to see eye to eye.
If this country divides, many tribes will not see eye to eye.


As someone from a minority culture too, I can perfectly understand and relate with these arguments here between Ijaws, Itsekiris and Urhobos.

Western Colonization and the modern concept of Nationhood is what is affecting most of us Black Africans today. Our ancestors never lived with this concept.
The average Black African always had this concept of LIVE AND LET LIVE. Our forefathers lived together and formed intermixed settlements with each other because they never had this concept of Ethnic Nationalism or Nationhood.

When Nationalism begun in Europe, they slaughtered and displaced millions of themselves until their National boundaries of today came to existence. This is the path that we Africans are now towing.
The disintegration of Nigeria may lead to the second African world war.

My advice for my Deltan brothers is that they must learn to live with each other. It's so unfortunate that the Nigerdeltan tribes have nothing in common that unites them.

Urhobos, you guys must not underestimate the Itsekiris.
I notice how you guys were claiming that there are no Itsekiris in Sapele or Uvwie. Itsekiris for Sapele plenty like nonsense. They may not have a strong stake in Sapele urban by traditional rights, but they have many villages in Sapele rural down the creeks that connects to their settlements in Warri. Even in the Sapele urban they are powerful.
Your fathers have already allowed them to settle there and they cannot easily be driven away because they are not an enclave there.
And the more you people or the Ijaws push them, the more they look towards their Yoruba cousins in the Southwest.

If Nigeria is dividing and Itsekiris due to fear of Urhobos and Ijaws decide to join ODUDUWA REPUBLIC, it will almost spell doom for you Nigerdeltan minorities cos I am not sure you people can withstand the Yoruba nation on your own.

Another advice I have for you Urhobos is that you guys must choose to allign and work with either the Yorubas or Igbos, especially the Igbos. You guys can use through the Aniomas cos u have a good relationship with them.

Ijaws are large enough, and command a large coastline territory to be able to stand on their own when the chips go down. Itsekiris will easily cling to the Yorubas.
Urhobos & Isokos, you guys are too small and landlocked to stand on your own by the time kasala burst for Nigeria.
At most, you people should try to come under an Umbrella with Edo people. But the problem I have with Edo people is that they are so disunited and their individual pride is too much.

See Isokos and Aniomas in Ndokwa east, the way they are so heavily intertwined there and it lead to a conflict in Ibrede town. If this country is to divide, all the Isokos will be sacked from Ndokwa east and even down to Isoko north and South LGA, especially if the Aniomas decide to pitch their tent with Igbos.

Hausa fulani aggression is forcing my own people of more than 200 minority tribes to work on a permanent unity with each other. By next year, Nigeria will start feeling this heat I can promise.
And we will not end there, we will move to forge a strong national alliance with the Igbos. And if possible the Ogoja minorities to help us counter Tiv expansion from the south, cos after Hausa Fulanis, Tivs are the next big cancer plaguing my people.

Nigeria will not survive this rising ethnic nationalism within the next 10 years.

We can never really have lasting peace until we have countries which perfectly fit into our ethnic nationalities.

Yugoslavia and Indian partition is waiting to unfold in Nigeria. It will not take up to 10 years from now.
