Pazienza just calm down! This position/posture you are adopting makes no sense. When a child behaves like a child, the adults in the room should behave like adults.
I have always look up to you as a potential leader of the Igboid race. Don't because of few individuals and turn your back on a project I know you have a sincere passion for. Your moniker says it all!

IGBOID!!!

HopeAtHand:
If your cousin is contesting an election, normally you'd vote for him. Same as your uncle, your aunt, your neice, nephew, mother, grandma etc.

It is Established that over 40% of Ikwerres have their mums/grandmums from Igboland. So that gives an extensive number of relatives in Igboland. Coupled with similarity in language and culture. So Igbos voting Ikwerres is like Igbos voting Igbos.

So You will write your epistle from now till eternity and will continually sound like a dumbass.

MaNyEsq:
I totally agree with you not minding the silly comments by nitwits. When the FG is in total control of the revenue that is generated by the airport, it is its responsibility to build and maintain such. The last time I checked the Lagos, Kano, Abuja and, Kaduna Airports were built by the FG with the nation's money and not by any of these states or their peoples. So to expect the people of the East to build their own airport is asinine on the part of any person with such warped mindset. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. I wish people would just shut their anal-like orifice if they have nothing of substance to say.

jimyjames:
can you tell me the history of the etche (echie) people and how they are not igbos? who are the etche mainstream?, what language do they speak,? what type of culture do they practice, ? where and where can you find the nde echie people,? who is their traditional ruler ?, do your research and you will discover the etche people are igbos

you shouldn't be having a moniker with the name igbiod and not know the igbiod subgroups

Simbrixton:
where is odili from

chy101:
Defenders of failure are here. Oya show us the current condition of those roads assuming am lying. Most roads in Enugu are in a deplorable condition but you guys are always quick to deny it . Ugwuanyi is a failure. He has wasted 5yrs.

Eastlink:
The Ikwerre man is always cunning. I think it's high time you're put in your place. You should begin to fight your battles alone and leave other uplanders out of your stupidity. You guys are the most greedy set of people when it comes to politics. You're no different from the north.

Many of us have realized that the Ikwerre's are far more evil than the Ijaws who dominated old Rivers. Even doing worst than the accusations their fathers levelled against the south east during the abandon property saga. The creation of the state out of the eastern region truly exposed both the Ikwerre's and Kalabari's as the most greedy set of tribes in the Niger Delta. No other ethnic group matters. It's always about them.

I've come to understand that whenever Ikwerre's want to dominate Rivers politics they rally Igbo votes and when the Kalabari's want to outsmart the Ikwerre's they rally the riverine voting bloc. While the Kalabari's chant the Ijaw mantra as a rallying point to gather every tribe in the riverine, the Ikwerre's on the other hand use a kind of sentiments to win the upland votes. Yet they don't give credit to Ndigbo.

It is only when election approaches that the Ikwerre remembers the upland voting bloc. But when election is over, they'll begin to rant their 'Ikwerres are majority' trash. No other ethnic group counts in the upland. I think it's time our people receive sense and push these braggarts aside. Let them stand alone and let's see their emptiness for who they really are.

As a matter of fact without the votes of the Etche's, Onelga, Obigbo, Ekpeye, Ogoni's and other populous non indigenous Igbo population in P/H, the Ikwerre would have been beaten blue black by the riverine block.

I've also noticed that the Ikwerre are very smart in ethnic politics. Because they know the soft side of Ndigbo toward them, they play on this psychology by channelling the Igbo voting bloc to dominate Rivers politics.

The Ikwerre's just as the Ijaws of the past are same. Both are too greedy with power.
Unlike the Ijaws whose land host a lot of oil wells, Ikwerre's on the other hand contribute a meagre percent of our oil revenue, yet they take a lion share of our political and economic commonwealth. I think it's time power shifts to Ogoniland or to the Ibani's. The Ikwerre's and the Kalabari's should go and sit down.

technicallyrich:
every one knows the truth that there are 3 tribes in river state.
Ijaws
igbos and
okonis.
Ndoni is igbo and speak igbo
ikwere is igbo and speak igbo.
Now peter odilii rule 8years
ameachi plus my best governoe omehia 8years
wike 8 years
8+8+8=24 years
the igbos have rule 24 years why not give others a chance.

Allen102:
Ok but how do you explained this comment.

Allen102:
Ok so Port Harcourt is what? Igboland or what?

OfoIgbo:
The Bayelsa governor made a huge error of judgement in a fight he couldn't possibly win.

Imagine a scenario where Anambra and Rivers are engaged in a subterranean oil wells fight.
Imagine that the Rivers governor is from Kalabari.
Imagine the Anambra governor travelling to PH to meet the Ikwerre traditional ruler, without reaching out to the Rivers state governor.
Imagine the ANambra governor making the comment that he was just headed to Rivers state to go and identify with his IGBO brothers, and in the same act, totally ignored to pay a visit or acknowledge the sitting Kalabari governor of Rivers state?

The above scenario stinks of ethnic domination agenda.

For the Bayelsa governor to do what he did without considering the sensitive nature of such a move, totally reveals why he lost to APC in Bayelsa.

Does he think the Ikwerre governor cannot call on his Igbo people to see this as a move to sideline and humiliate them? The Igbos in Rivers state could so easily be convinced that this is an anti-Igbo move.

Wike has been civil to just limit this as an Ikwerre vs Kalabari. But if the Kalabari chiefs want to make it an Ijaw matter, Wike will be left with no choice, but to make this an Igbo matter also. This Bayelsa governor seems to be the big idiot in this matter, totally lacking in strategic thinking, and doing his best to destroy the peace in the SS, just the way he so woefully lost Bayelsa to APC.

The actions of Dickson has now made it much more difficult for a Kalabari man to replace Wike. The road is now clear for the Ogonis and the Okrikans e.t.c to take over from Wike

Abagworo:
Contrary to mefia hype about Wike, Rivers people are generally unhappy with his performance so far. He is very popular among Igbos and Ikwerres only maybe because his works are concentrated around Obio/Akpo and Port-Harcourt Local Governments where a bulk majority are Igbo and Ikwerre. I believe he is doing well in infrastructure but people from Ogoni, Ogba, Kalabari, Okrika, Opobo, Etche, Oyigbo and Ahoada area are not happy. I have not interacted with Bonny and Andoni. So in essence Wike is a hero in his domain and among Igbos.

technicallyrich:
Ijaws are
the leaders of yhe suppose niger delta.
They should be respected and feared.
Igbos(ikweres) have ruled rivers for more 25 years now,why give power to another igbo man.
In all fairness the next governor from rivers will either be an ijaw man or okoni that has never ruled before.
As for removing the king,ijaws which are the richest black tribe on earth and the strongest and bravest tribe in nigeria wont accept such shit.

Allen102:
That's what you get when you kiss igbo people ass
These same kalabari are the ones supporting Biafra.

They should enjoyed the nonsense they sign themselves to.

nototribalist:
Just look at the face of the ugly animal that wrote this rubbish.

Kpoikpoi:
Wow,Igbo people have descended very low,the once very proud people are now begging for brothers and friends everywhere in a bid to become relevant.
Claiming people and places left right and centre.
Now the Igbo man thinks Ibibio man is Igbo,Ijaw man is Igbo,Ikwere man is Igbo.
I have never seen such desperation in my entire life.
How are the mighty fallen.
This one na friendship by force.
The Igbos have finally become completely irrelevant in this country,now they are clawing onto anything.
Hahaha,I no fit laugh.
That's what happens when nobody likes you.
Igbos have finally become an island.
Una go beg us tire, we will never join your Biafra.
Niger Delta Republic is real.

Nowenuse:
Wow! Where did you get this from?

Pls I would like to see the source. It's very interesting.

Nowenuse:
Niger republic is 40% Hausa. If it was 55% Hausa, they would have been dominating the country, however the Zarmas dominate the politics of the country.

Mind you, even groups who are not Hausa in Nigeria only speak Hausa as a 2nd language too.

I wouldn't say the Fulanis purposely adopted Hausa as the language of the caliphate. It happened naturally, same way the Mughal conquerors of India lost their languages to the language of the conquered majority. Same thinf in Persia.
If the conquerors of a people meet a larger population of natives who are well organized, most times it is the conquerors who lose their language and become culturally absorbed.


Fulfude was and to a smaller extent is still the lingua franca in certain areas of Adamawa, Gombe, Taraba and Northern Cameroon where fulanis conquered minority groups (who were smaller in size and less organized unlike the Hausa).
There are many Adamawa and to a lesser extent Gombe & Taraba people from different tribes who have adopted fulfude as their mother tongue and others who speak it as a 2nd language while Hausa as a 3rd language....

So you are wrong

bigfrancis21:
A good number of Isoko communities have Igbo ancestry but due to the prevalent Igbophobia, many of these communities are silent on their Igbo ancestry. Even thee founder of the Isokos, who is called Oputa/Opute, who was among the Eze Chima migratory group is said to have been Igbo speaking. I didn't come up with this. A Delta man, Okpevra, discussed this in his research work here:

Download here: http://www.nsukkajournalofthehumanities.com/download.php?download_file=UNN-FAJH611.pdf

Some Isoko communities have been influenced by their Ndokwa neighbours as well, either through intermarriage or by living next to each other.

liberalchick:
Odili is not Ikwerre. He is Ndoni and he is not Igbo.

Nowenuse:
Nice one, this is also the reason why I find the Ikwerre claim of being a distinct group who were influenced by the Igbos highly questionable.

As I wrote above, not until we can see a form of document or proof of an ancient Ikwerre language very different from Igbo, then it cannot be true.


Just for the records... In your first paragraph, Hausa language did not spread amongst all Northern minorities due to subjugation of the caliphate.
How about Fulanis who were the conquerors who also lost and are still loosing their native Fulfude language to Hausa till date?

Kanuri used to be the lingua franca of the upper north-east cos they conquered the area but today it is Hausa and hausas did not conquer anywhere, rather fulanis did.

I'd say Hausa language spread by influence/trade and not really conquest or even colonialism. Although, the last 2 somehow promoted it.

because if we claim it was purely conquest or colonialism, how do we explain Hausa language being the lingua franca in Niger republic? All the non hausa tribes in Niger republic speak Hausa as a 2nd language, even up to the lightskinned Berbers in the north of the country close to Libya/Algeria.

The french who colonized Niger republic do not practice Indirect rule like the British and so couldn't have helped promote Hausa language there and neither did Fulani conquest affect Niger republic.

bigfrancis21:
Igboid is that you in the dp?

Ugwuoke347:
Thanks again for putting it quite bluntly.





From my own side ( I choose to view things from the psychic side), Biafra comprising only peoples of Igbo stock serves a higher purpose that all the oil and naval powers in this world can not guarantee.
The birth of a homogeneous Igboid Biafra shall lead to the birth of a brand new civilization arising from a rediscovery of all the lost and forgotten keys of Igbo culture and cosmology.
The true Biafran State shall bring about an explosion of Cultural Renaissance for our people.
Without such rediscovery of the truths of our Odinani,
We cannot make any head way in technology and scientific movement.
Check the Asians who became technology giants, they first went back to the roots of their culture to unearth the hidden connections that link them with the activities of the Elemental Guardians of Nature whom ignorant men call gods!
They are no gods, they are the guardians of all the secrets of nature, and also the bestowers of same on those who humbly seek to investigate the workings of the natural laws!
The true Biafran State shall pave way for the coming of a new generation of strong-minded Igboid peoples who would do mighty things in all sectors of public and private life.
I have only said these things as they have already taken on form the psychic airwaves.
It lies in our hands to bring them into manifestation in this world of actuality. We must be conscious of the fact that something higher is at stake here!
A higher God-willed design!
We must diligently do everything possible to get it right.
Biafra owes Black Africa unending excellence
in setting the Biafran model for good.

alphaNomega:
The issue here is that the only neighbor Biafra 2.0 will have is Nigeria and she will do everything in her power to see the economy of Biafra collapse

alphaNomega:
Seriously I'm trying to envision how a landlocked Biafra 2.0 will fare economically. There are lots of options to succeed but they remain in the realm of dreams.
