What truth are you talking about? Dude don't try to shift from your earlier position and play the victim card here because it's not going to work. Ikwerres have talking trash against Igbos and you think we haven't been taking notice of it?

I really pity you all because the world have really changed a lot from how it used to be. Millions of people can now be influenced through the social media alone and if you notice, you know that Igbos have the largest presence on social media. By the time we Igbos finally establish a consensus on you guys there won't be any going back. Just watch and see.

Amaechi is too small for the Igbos to reduce to nothing.

Mr man you write up is baseless. You’re just jumping from pilar to post.

Simple question: where is the lie in what i said about what Igbo did to ikwerre during Eastern region and Biafran war? You can’t answer. Lol

If you don’t know history why argue? Your igbo people changed our community names in Igbo dominated Eastern region govt in an attempt to eradicate the ikwerres, you Igbos killed a lot of ikwerre people who rejected Biafra.

Your parents will not tell you this but they hate truth like you do.

sageb:
Quite revealing, so the ikwerres used the igbos as serfs in their farm before the eastern region. So the ikwerres called the igbos "isoma" meaning labourers of ikwerre. Now these Igbos want to claim that they are the masters whereas they were slaves to ikwerres.

See the problem is the igbo parents don’t tell their kids the truth

Oloun:
this is an average Ikwerre man mentality believing on "hearsay" how can just 4 local governments be able to deal with more than 100 local governments? You never lose war that maybe with smaller neighbouring villages in the olding days when war is being fought with sticks. Only abiriba in aba which is among the nearest pure igbo community to you can wipe the whole of your Ikwerre kinsmen who are usually cowards.

If we come give aba-ngwa the job, they fit come chop una finish we still value una cowardice lives, awa oyel but you can boast of 2 hours electricity per day.

Mumu at the highest order. You think it’s by population. Why have not resist the Fulani killing your people in large numbers?

proeast:
FYI, Igbos have no business with Amaechi. He belongs to a two local government tribe called Ikwerre. Igbos will rather vote for any other candidate even if he comes from the North than a character like Amaechi. If we want to vote for Igbos in the Niger Delta, then it has to be those in Delta North or other Igbos in Rivers because we have nothing in common with Ikwerre.

You guys are like the proverbial butterfly that thinks it's a bird.

Amaechi is a clown, he does not have the capacity to be a president, so he should stop decieving himself. He is now working over time paying people to launder his image but it's all efforts in futility. He even begged one Igbo man to counter Joe Igbokwe who called him out, and tried to make it look like Igbos are ready to defend him. Nonsense! Perception is everything today because opinions are largely moulded in the social media and people like Tinubu have control of a section of the media and a large ethnic group that is ready to counter negative slurs against him. Now, ask yourself who can defend Amaechi if his image is attacked like that of Tinubu? If Amaechi foolishly attracts the anger of the Igbo nation then he is gone for good. Yorubas will never defend him! Northerners will never defend him! Even the Ijaws that are far larger than the Ikwerres couldn't defend GEJ when other Nigerians turned the heat on him and he had to rely on Igbo support to avoid being totally disgraced out of office. Imagine what will happen to someone like Amaechi with a two local government tribe backing him.

If you are on his payroll then he should as a matter of urgency relieve you of that role because you're setting him up for disgrace.

I laugh at you Ikwerre people, now is the time of reckoning.

You’re just making noise. You igbos will vote for Amaechi massively compare to Yoruba or North. Stop fooling yourself here.

proeast:


Trash.

Ikwerre is too little to stand toe-to-toe with the Igbo nation. I'm sorry for you if truly you're Ikwerre and you're opening your guts to say trash against Igbos. Being in joint ownership of P.H with the Ijaws doesn't mean sh!t because there is nothing in the town that one can lose sleep over. The day Igbos will turn against you in P.H is the day you will understand that Ikwerre is a minute group. You're using Igbo population in Rivers State to dominate others yet you turn around to bite the fingers that fed you. Continue, a day of reckoning is coming for you all and you will like in the old Rivers when the Ijaws dehumanized you all. You think you can join others to practice Igbophobia without thinking about your own fate, lol the joke is on you.

Point out the Igbophobia in what i said?? If you can’t proof me wrong why not shut up? Is there anything i said that is a lie and if there is why not point it out?? The truth is killing you, i hope you survive it because you kill yourselves one day with Ikwerre matter

cjrane:


Oga, if the presidency should come to the SE, then it should go to a southeasterner not a southsoutherner.

OR it can go to the northeast which is the next rightful zone.

You cannot bring someone from the SS to take the position of the SE. The worst part is that it's someone who has clearly declared that he isn't Igbo. So, why are you presenting him for the SE? It is a failed agenda that is dead on arrival. Even if Igbo decides to choose a pan-Igbo candidate, it will be someone who has never denied being Igbo ~ ngozi Okonjo Iweala types.

Igbos will vote a moderate northerner in 2023 than someone who publicly professes his hatred for Igbos. Mind you, i'm Delta Igbo, NOT Yoruba. But, i know Amechi is a failed agenda already. Just that you guys are too blind to see it yet.

You igbos and tribal politics of hate! That is why you people will also be backward.

Ikwerre man as President, you igbos will benefit. You igbos are the ones hating Ikwerre unnecessary, people who are not bordered about you and have declared they trace their origin to Benin. But yet you igbos keep stressing yourself and pressuring the ikwerre calling them igbos and biafra on news papers and social media, I don’t know your problem. It will be difficult for Igbo to be President now because Nigerians will not vote you. Only Igbo can not vote itself into power. You hate us when we tell you the truth.

What has the Ikwerre done to Igbo??

Igbo man Answers: they say there are not igbos or Biafra that’s why we hate them! For real??

What did Igbo do to Ikwerre??

Ikwerre man: Igbos declared our land Biafra and killed our people who were against Biafra. Igbo don’t respect our history which our ancestors came from Benin, they claim we are igbos even when we Ikwerre call them “Isoma” meaning “laborers” in ikweree land. Because they are not our brothers, they are laborers who migrated to Port harcourt and we used them to work our farms before their population increased and Nigeria govt put us under Eastern region dominated by the Igbos which the igbos were in charge and use the opportunity to rename Ikwerre communities, ensuring that the Ikwerre history and it’s people are replaced with Igbo dominated migrants in Port harcourt.

But during Biafra war, they all ran back to Igbo land. How can you run away from your land if Ikwerre was igbo? Did you also run away from abia state to Imo state during the war like you ran away from Ikwerre land??

When they came back their properties have been declared abandoned by the Nigeria govt, while Ikwerre people changed their community names back to original Ikwerre names.

The igbos go all over Wikipedia to write Ikwerre as Igbo. We laugh at them because they are fooling themselves and those rubbish they are writing about ikwerre and other South South tribes as Igbo does not change who we truly are!

Conclusion: Igbos killing themselves with sleepless night about the Ikwerre who do not care but rather are making effort to connect more with the great Benin Kingdom as we recently welcomed the Oba of Benin to Port harcourt in his effort to unite Benin descendants!

Whiteangel1234:


I think majority of ikwerre are truly mix with Bini bloods they are disgusting creatures we dont need them . Igbos are far bigger and greater . I dont even know why we should be bothering ourselves with 4 local Government people in River state out of 23 when igbos have over 30 million People world wide . I repeat we dont need ikwerres Binis my prayer is that ijaw take over River state in 2023 after Ezenwo Nyesome

Yes save yourself the hate you have for Ikwerre people it won’t do you any good. You’re hating Ikwerre people just because we say we are not from Igbo but Benin which is the true history of Ikwerre people.

After Wike we ikwerre people can vote an Ijaw man to be Governor of Rivers state. We don’t have problem with Ijaw, they are our brothers so you praying for Ijaw to be governor to take over Rivers state is mere foolishness and hatred for Ikwerre people who are the majority. Every election in Rivers state ikwerre vote is over 55% of total Rivers votes not to talk about our brothers from same father which are the Ekpeye and Ogba people.

We are happy in Rivers state, stop hating foolishly just because Ikwerre stand by itself true history.

cjrane:


But Amechi is not Igbo nah?
Those promoting the Amaechi candidacy should bank on Yoruba and Hausa votes for Amaechi and definitely not Igbo votes. Amaechi IS NOT IGBO!

Igbos will still massively vote a moderate northerner from the Northeast region than Amaechi who has professed he isn't Igbo.

The Northerner you want to vote is it igbo?

Macphenson:
Hmmmm,

My man.

There's a reason they call you WIKE THE WICKED.

Who are they? What does wicked has to do with the news? You see how stupid you are?

Whiteangel1234:


you are suffering from identity crisis and greediness to chop oil money alone if you think your fellow igbos will come and join you chop free 13% oil money . Ikwerre are igbos but we dont like them they will be dealt with at the proper time

You better Shut up your mouth before we bounce on you. We know some of you igbos and the hatred you have for the Ikwerre people that was why we rejected your Igbo biafra.

You better respect yourself and keep doing your business in Port harcourt and paying your tax because if we take up arms against Igbo people, you will be running to United Nations calling for help.

Even ordinary Fulani you can’t stand, you’re here talking rubbish about Ikwerre people, don’t you know we don’t lose battles and have never lost one beforelike you igbos lost in biafra which let to the death of millions of your people where your greedy Ojukwu ran away to liberia?? Hahaha

Surprisedly you are the ones that needs brain check due to your poor mentality.

Your name is Christopher
You Speak and write in English
You Dress like the British
You Practice british weeding and culture
You Sing in English
Your community names are written in English
And you’re igbo?? Lol

———-
The day you Igbos change your english names,stop speaking and writing in english, performing british weeding,dressing like the british,remove english words from your community names, after then i will take you serious, else you’re not Igbo you’re British.
——-

A lot of you igbos who lack proper knowledge of history, because you don’t travel and your parents and teachers don’t tell you the truth, you end up sounding so stupid.

This is 2020, your name does not tell where you come from! wake up from your poor and village mentality.

Davido have a baby with Chioma named “Ifeanyi” does it make him to be Igbo and not Yoruba?
—-

When you the said “ifeany” gets to the age of marriage and gives birth to a son name “John” and John’s full name become: “John Ifeanyi” does it mean he is not Yoruba any more??

——
We have Ikwerre names you Igbo do not understand, the fact that we bear Igbo names doesn’t make us Igbo.

——
The language we speak is “Ikwerre” with some igbo words in it due to our interaction with the igbos.
—-
You igbos need to task your parents to tell you the truth. They are being too selfish and lying to you kids out of greed.

Igboid:


It's 3.5 LGAs. You share PHLGA with Okirika people.

Why not put it 3.2? Lol

Oga stop being pained about Ikwerre people before you will kill yourself one day.

The Okirika you’re talking about you don’t even know anything about them and their number in PH. Because if you know you won’t come here to say 3.5 lga. Lol

gartamanta:


Are Ikwerres the majority in Rivers state? Two Local Governments out of 23 does not seem to be a majority to me

You don’t know anything about Rivers state. Ikwerre has four local govt: PH,obio-akpor, Ikwerre and Emuoha.

OPPPS:

Wike is patiently waiting to bury your pay master for the 3rd time again in Rivers state. APC will never give Amechi who has no single electoral value in Rivers state their ticket .Wake up from your sleep

Oga you’re the one that needs to wake up.

Ikwerre is the majority in Rivers state and we Ikwerre people and Niger deltans will not waste one second in voting for a Niger delta/Ikwerre Man (Amaechi) to become President, even Wike who is also Ikwerre will support Amaechi, we don’t play politics of hate but of benefit!

Niger deltans are not fools to reject Amaechi a Niger deltan to be President and support a non Niger delta when Amaechi is in the ballot. You need to wake up from your sleep

dogmax:
ARE YOU A BIAFRAN?

Those who arrested and sentenced Isaac Adaka Boro to death for declaring Niger Delta Republic were neither Hausa-Fulanis nor Yorubas but two supposed brothers of his and Biafrans named Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi who were still on the side of Gambaris and still trying to please them as at then. For declaring Niger-Delta Republic Ironsi, the then military head of state, ordered Ojukwu to get Isaac Boro arrested for treason.

Ojukwu, in an attempt to please Gambaris, fought Isaac Boro for 14 days within which he used federal might of “one-Nigeria” to kill 150 soldiers loyal to Isaac Boro, caught Isaac Boro, stripped him naked and sent him over to Lagos where Ironsi charged him to court and within just 2 months got him convicted, at the Supreme Court, of treasonable felony of trying to break away from Azikiwe’s one Nigeria, got him sentenced to death by hanging. While Ironsi​ and Ojukwu did all that to Isaac Boro​, they left untouched their own Igbo brother soldiers who planned a coup with which they killed Innocent Hausas, Yorubas, Niger Deltans, Middle belters leaving Igbo politicians unharmed despite they, like Zik and Okpara, were part and parcel of the corrupt Balewa government.

However, before Ojukwu and Ironsi could execute their sentence on Isaac Boro God intervened and the counter coup happened. Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over declared Isaac Boro innocent and released him. But just fifteen months later Ojukwu too declared Biafra Republic due to the way Igbos were being killed in the North. In declaring Biafra, rather than first apologise to Isaac Boro for what he earlier did to him and then ask for his cooperation in fighting to realize the Biafra dream, Ojukwu did nothing like that but without consulting Boro at all went as far as arrogantly including in his Biafra map the very Niger Delta areas which Isaac Boro earlier tried to pull out of Nigeria and which he (Ojukwu) nearly killed him for.

This angered Isaac Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa who both pledged support for Gowon in order to teach Ojukwu a bitter lesson for his arrogance and dishonesty. That was why Isaac Boro and Saro Wiwa fought on the side of Gowon during the war. Naturally Isaac Boro couldn’t have come out of prison to join the Ojukwu who jailed him and fight against the Gowon who released him. It would have been absurd. No rational human being does that.

This is the truth of what happened and which Igbos hate to hear but prefer to blame everyone else as if they themselves were 100℅ innocent.

Igbos must learn to say the truth because if the Biafra/Niger Delta Republic they now seek is founded on lies and deliberate falsehood, like Nigeria, it will not stand but will soon become a failed state like Nigeria. We can’t leave Nigeria for another Nigeria.

But we however know that Igbos allergy to truth is incurable, therefore Niger-Delta states will never be part of Biafra

Come 2023, both Igbo and Yoruba will not be President. It may sound funny to you, but that is the reality on ground.

The North knows how to play politics, nobody should deny that fact!

The North have realize that, the Niger delta is the best region to form an ailment with.

They can not trust the Yoruba with power, the rate at which the Yoruba wants to be President even with the introduction of Amotekun, it will be difficult for the North to trust Yoruba at this time with power.

The Igbo in the other hand can not be trusted too. With so much attack on the North by the Igbo politicians and traditional groups, coupled with Nnamdi Kanu Biafra struggle, it will be too risky for the North to allow power move to the Igbos.

But in the Niger delta, the north have realize that, they are the best region to have a good favorable ground with and make an agreement that would benefit both regions because, the North have witnessed power with the Niger delta in the person of Jonathan. The North have realize that the Niger deltans can be trusted, and they do not have so much hatred for the North like the Yoruba and Igbo who will immediately bounce on the Fulani and it’s herds if they get to power.

The yaradua govt brought Amnesty for the Niger delta, and buhari govt have also settled the Niger delta warlords that is why you see calm. Because even with the operation crocodile smile, the militants will still destroying pipelines halting oil production.

The North have realize that if they have a good agreement with the Niger delta who houses the nations wealth (Crude Oil) even with the construction of Gas pipeline from the Niger delta to the North which militants can destroy, and support a Niger deltan (considering Rotimi Amaechi who buhari loves and most igbos see as Igbo man even though he is Ikwerre) the North will feel more secure allowing power return to the South for 8yrs before going back to the North.

The North have realize that, with the Niger delta voting strength, and the region that feeds the nation, they do not need the Yoruba or Igbo who they can not trust with power at this point.

Those of you saying, how can Niger delta produce President after Jonathan from same region, ask yourself where was Yaradua from? Is it not same Kastina with Buhari today? Rotimi Amaechi who has an Igbo wife and who most igbos see as igbo even though he is Ikwerre, the Igbos will support Amaechi Presidency 100% and feel more secure and calm than a Tinubu!

Those of you who don’t know, you better read this carefully:

There is an ongoing agreement between the North and the Niger delta on power shift between the North and South.

Come 2023, both Igbo and Yoruba will not be President. It may sound funny to you, but that is the reality on ground.

The North knows how to play politics, nobody should deny that fact!

The North have realize that, the Niger delta is the best region to form an ailment with.

Those of you saying, how can Niger delta produce President after Jonathan from same region, ask yourself where was Yaradua from? Is it not same Kastina with Buhari today? Did Jonathan complete his second tenure?? Rotimi Amaechi who has a great experience in leadership from the position he has occupied in the past which no politician in the South has ever archived, Amaechi was a speaker 8yrs, Governor 8yrs, chairman governors forum, and a second term minister, married to an igbo woman and who most igbos see as igbo even though he is Ikwerre, there is no doubt the Igbos will support Amaechi Presidency 100% and feel more secure and calm than a Tinubu!

24SEVEN:
Nice one. Anything that reduces gas flaring in the Niger Delta is most welcome.

Also, the huge economic importance of this project cannot be overstated.

Thirdly, Niger Deltans have another tool to use for a debate with the North. Anytime they don't concede to demands, we threaten to blow the gas pipeline or disconnect the source of the gas.

Lol. The truth is that after buhari power will only rotate between the north and the Niger Delta. Alright Rotimi Amaechi is being considered for president by buhari and his northern politicians.

The north feeds Nigeria through agriculture

The niger delta feeds Nigeria through crude oil

The yoruba and Igbo are just there receiving oil money.

Of course he will support him. They are brothers from Ikwerre, and we Ikwerre people and Niger delta in general don't play politics of hate!

Jdbrasco2:
You speak from both sides of your mouth. I have been following you. I remembered where you said Ikweres are not Igbo. Be careful what you say for political expedient, it may come back to bite you.

And i have never said Ikwerres are igbos and we can never be igbos.

If Amaechi claims igbo it’s his business

Nwanyiogwashi:
I will rather vote a northern than vote Amaechi as Igbo president

But some of your Igbo people always say Amaechi and his Ikwerre people are Igbos??

So now he is not Igbo again? And Port harcourt is not Igbo land again?? Lol

SpacehubTech:
Why we might accuse the southwest for being selfish for their presidential ambition 2023 bc their zone has produced democratical president, what we will say about South South that has also produced presidency and are still eyeing the seat?

Please let's do the right thing. SE deserve to be supported to.

They have supported Obasanjo from SW
Supported Goodluck Jonathan from SS
Supported Atiku from North


SE should be supported too. They need the presidency too as much as every zone.

Oga South South is different, it is not like South West, or South East with predominant Yoruba and Igbo.

In this South South we have different tribes and we all have the right to produce President like the Yorubas, Igbos, Hausa too. Don’t replace our ethnicity with region. There is no constitution that said Nigeria president will emerge base on region or tribe.

Rotimi Amaechi is the best bet for the Igbos come 2023 even as he has declared himself an Igbo man in several occasions! Though his kinsmen from the Ikwerre ethnic nationality has always made it clear over the years that they are not Igbos but Ikwerre people who trace their origin to Benin Kingdom which the Oba of Benin just like his late father also confirmed on his visit to Port harcourt.

But the truth is that, Rotimi Amaechi is more acceptable to Nigerians especially to the Yorubas and Hausa-Fulani compare to any Igbo politician today.

Rotimi Amaechi who is so loved by Buhari, was a former speak 8yrs, Governor 8yrs, Gov forums chairman, Minister 8yrs and Campaign director general that defeated PDP and brought Apc to power, he is greater than all Igbo politicans put together and have achieved more In terms of leadership, popularity more than any igbo politician today!

The bitter truth is: Majority of Nigerians are not comfortable voting an Igbo man because you play ethnic politics, you guys are too tribalistic and Nigerians can’t trust you with Nnamdi Kanu biafran struggle.

The igbos better drum support for Rotimi Amaechi now because he is the only person that can help you Igbos when he gets there. He is far better than the hausa-fulani or Yoruba with his Igbo wife from Anambra. Though Ikwerre people have always maintained their Benin Origin, most Igbos see Rotimi Amaechi as Igbo because in today Nigeria, Igbo President can not be achieved now.

Nobody will give you President, you have to fight for it! If Igbo say they have not ruled what about Urhobor,Ibibio,Ogoni and so on?? Stop playing ethnic politics, face reality, and go for what you know you can achieve and benefit from. If you igbos want to play politics base on ethnicity you will loose and keep losing!

As it stance, the igbos are confused with Biafra and Nigeria. Nobody is forcing you to remain in Nigeria, and Nigerians will not beg you people to remain Nigerians with Presidency, it can not happen, else another region will come out tomorrow to threaten Nigeria existence with demand for presidency.

if you want to be President fight for it, stop going on social media and newspapers saying Igbo have turn, who gave you the turn? where was it written? What about other tribes that have not ruled before in the Niger delta but have been feeding Nigeria for years? Ijaw, ikwerre, Ibibio, Urhobor, Benin are different ethnic groups just like the Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa and so on!

So stop the Igbo have turn ideology, because it won’t work that way, if want to be President fight for it and you will achieve it with time and not by saying Igbo have turn, it doesn’t work that way.

Rotimi Amaechi, with his Yoruba name, Igbo name and from the Niger delta region, signifies a Southern Unity and we all know Amaechi is less corrupt, honest, hardworking and fair in his style of leadership over the years from Speaker to the position he is now!

No Politician in Southern Nigeria today can stand Rotimi Amaechi in terms of political experience and achievement with numerous positions he has occupied over the years till date.

I know igbos on Nairaland will not like this but this is their best bet and the real Igbos know this!

Igboid:


Funny enough, you are the one who has been ranting.
And seeing as I have already passed across my message, I don't think replying your rants is of any more benefit.

Oga you don’t have anything to say and can’t prove me wrong because the Ikwerre man will defeat an Igbo man in a primary election if power comes to the South irrespective of the party. Yoruba will gladly support Rotimi Amaechi from Rivers state than an Igbo and same with the North.

Rotimi Amaechi is greater than all Igbo politicans put together and have achieved more than any igbo politician today! Prove me wrong if you can!

Majority of Nigerians are not comfortable voting an Igbo man because you play ethnic politics, you guys are too tribalistic and we can’t trust you with your biafrans struggle when you offer nothing to the Nigerian state expect migrating from one state to another claiming other people’s land as no mans land.

You better drum support for Rotimi Amaechi now because he is the only person that can help you Igbos when he gets there. He is far better than the hausa-fulani or Yoruba with his Igbo wife from Anambra. Stop ranting, Igbo President can not be achieved now.

Nobody will give you President, you have to fight for it! If Igbo have not ruled what about Urhobor,Ibibio,Ogoni and so on?? You think Nigerians are fools? If you igbos want to play politics base on ethnicity you will loose and keep losing!

As it stance, you igbos are confused with Biafra and Nigeria. Nobody is forcing you to remain in Nigeria, and we will not beg you people to remain Nigerians with Presidency, it can not happen, if you want to be President fight for it, stop shouting Igbo have turn, who gave you the turn? How much does the Igbo states contribute to the federal government with what resources?? Is it Aba market or Onitsha market? All the Niger delta oil money you people have been eating as monthly allocation what have you used it to do? Have you been able to develop the South East? Can the South East stand the Yoruba states? Niger delta cities like Port harcourt and Calabar? Can South East stand the Northern state? And you want us to vote for your under performed ex governors who have stolen you people dry to be President?

SarkinYarki:


Osinbanjo is twenty thousand times better

Which Osinbanjo? That toilet cleaner that does not understand anything about politics?? Tinubu toy??

Osinbanjo have not achieved what Rotimi Amaechi has achieved In Politics.

We are talking about a former speak 8yrs, Governor 8yrs, Chairman Governors forum, Minister 8yrs and you’re naming Osinbanjo because he is Vice President that has been ridicule to a mear toilet clearner??

Igboid:


It doesn't matter if he is impersonating Yorubas or not.
He is regurgitating exactly what Ikwerres I know in real life do. I'm currently a member of an Ikwerre facebook page, and I know their opinion on this.
So he (who ever is behind that handle) will be used to send vital message to them(Ikwerres).

Yoruba impersonator or not. Ikwerre and Amaechi will not be allowed to represent Ndiigbo.
The message remains the same, irrespective of who is behind those monikers.
As you can see its immaterial whether the person behind the moniker is Igbo or not.

Stop ranting online, Igbos have no political strength or acceptability in the Nigeria today, the ikwerres stand better chance than the Igbos when power comes to the South and the earlier you know this the better for you because an Ikwerre man as president is far better than a yoruba or hausa-fulani to you Igbos. Ikwerre don’t care about fighting the Igbos and will help the Igbos when we can. The only problem we have with you Igbos is that, you don’t respect our ethnicity, our history, our origin from the great Benin Kingdom, and the rate at which you people dominated and marginalize Ikwerre people and other ethnic groups in the Niger delta during Eastern region govt, and how you igbos killed a lot of us during the Biafran war just because we don’t want to be part of biafra due to the awful experience we had in Eastern region govt which was dominated by the Igbos from the House of rep to job opportunities.

Well with that aside, Lets do the maths: Between Ikwerre and Igbo who will win in a primary election here in the South?

1. Ikwerre (Amaechi) will win all the South South, South west and get parts of South East! If an Igbo contest with him.

2. But Igbo will only win South East votes and can not gather more support from South South and South West when an Ikwerre man is contesting with him! Kiss the truth. You’re not fully accepted in the South compare to Ikwerres.

Now to the North, Ikwerres (Amaechi) are more pro Nigeria and more accepted, loved and trusted in the North more than the Igbos. The North showed us love with the creation of old Rivers state, the North showed us Love with amnesty for militants and currently Buhari have settled all the militants that is why you see calm today. The north supported us when we wanted NDDC.

Wike recently renamed Aba Road to Gowon Road and Liberation stadium to Gowon stadium! We showed the North in the person of Gowon that we appreciate the support they gave to us in the creation of Old Rivers state frok Igbo dominated Eastern region because we Ikwerre people are simple, honest and not as greedy and tribalistic like you Igbos.

We Ikwerre people are trusted by the North, you can see how close Buhari and Amaechi is today!

You Igbos can’t stand Ikwerre in National leadership in Politics today! You will have no other option than to accept Ikwerre man ( Amaechi) and support him to represent you Igbos just like you supported Jonathan where Isaac Boro who fought against you igbos during biafra hails from!

It’s not by ranting! You can’t even win Primary election

Igboid:


APC has been controlling Imo under Rochas for 6yrs and now still in IMO.
Amaechi Ikwerreland and Rivers state is totally dominated by PDP with Wike and Secondus wielding the sledge hammer.

What exactly will Amaechi As APC presidential candidate bring to table?
He is on fight of ego with Wike, an Amaechi presidency will not be acceptable to Wike, so Wike would not even allow Amaechi win the Ikwerre 3.5LGAs.
Ndiigbo will not vote for Amaechi or any Ikwerre man, we would use this as an opportunity to exert our pound of flesh for all the denial humiliation Ikwerres and other Bini claiming Igboids have put us through.
Ikwerre will be used as a scapegoat and to set an example of what is to come in the future for other Igoids who think they can eat their cake and have it.

Wike and secondus were there when Obi emerged PDP VP last time around.
Politics is a game of numbers. No serious political party will pick an Ikwerre Bini man over an Igbo.
The other SS minorities are reasonable enough and know deep inside that it's not yet SS turn, Amaechi will not have it easy in SS states as they are also PDP states..

Just tell Amaechi to go home. God has tried for him.
8yrs as Rivers state assembley speaker, 8yrs of Governorship, and by 2023 8years of Ministerial position.
He is a blessed man. He should not toe the path of disgrace he is attempting. The Igbo impersonation game he is planning on will backfire seriously with Ikwerre people bearing the brunt.

If at all he wants to contest. Let him come out as a SS Bini man, and let's see how he can sell the idea of another SS minority presidency to Nigerians, when GEJ and SS minorities just had their turn not long ago.

If you think Wike will prevent Amaechi from winning Rivers state where Ikwerre is the majority then you don’t know we Ikwerre people in that aspect. Amaechi will gladly win all the South South states while the governorship of those states would remain in Pdp. We in South South are not foolish to disown our own, even Jonathan will support Amaechi! Politics is a game but you igbos take it too personal like it’s a tribal war.

Nobody is fighting anybody ethnicity here. We have told you Igbos we Ikwerre people are originally from the Great Benin Kingdom the Oba have acknowledged that in his visit to Port Harcourt.

If Rotimi Amaechi comes out to say he is Igbo, Yoruba or anything he likes, it doesn’t change who we ikwerre are, we can not trade our unique identity with Amaechi’s political ambition, we are not foolish and every ikwerre sons and daughters knows we are not igbos and will never be.

You igbos who have been shouting Ikwerre is Igbo on different platform, writing different books, editing Wikipedia and writing Ikwerre as igbo, you people should welcome Amaechi your son because he has declared he is igbo in several occasions. Will you now throw him away? If yo reject him as not being igbo i hope you can burn all those igbo books claiming Ikwerres are igbos and warn your brothers to stop going around saying ikwerre is igbo.

And let me tell you, if Rotimi Amaechi happens to get the ticket of Apc in 2023 presidential election, you igbos will support him, forget this ranting online because you people will have no other option.

If you support Amaechi don’t be surprise that Rotimi Amaechi may bring back abandon property issue in Port Harcourt and make sure the igbos who own them get their properties back because Rotimi Amaechi is a simple and honest man, he can also create good relationship with the Ikwerre ethnic group and the Igbo ethnic group with each other respecting it’s unique identity.

Good. Now what I am saying is that if you are not igbos and you originated from Benin, you should be asking for support from the Benin people and not the igbos. This over familiarity is getting too much. You should take appointments with the Benin identity too. Is it too much to ask? How can you be under the igbo umbrella when it comes to politics or when something good is coming to igbo land, and disappear during hard times? Is that how things are done?

Mtcheww

Ikwerre people are not claiming to be igbo whether politics or not. If Rotimi Amaechi says he is Igbo, it’s left for you igbos to identify with him. As for us in Ikwerre land we know where we come from, even the current Oba of Benin Kingdom have acknowledged that our ancestors are from Benin Kingdom just like his late father did. We are not foolish to trade Amaechi political ambition with our unique Ikwerre identity, Amaechi is just a single person and not even a traditional ruler of his community in Ikwerre Land but as he has come out in different occasion to say he is igbo, it’s none of our business and does not represent the entire Ikwerre people. You igbos who always call we Ikwerre People igbos can welcome Amaechi into your igbo identity and support him as your own.

leokid866:

And yet they couldn't secure the state for the party.....sips tea....

Not when we have an Ikwerre son as a presidential candidate, he will win 99% of Rives votes.

Muna4real:
So Amaechi is igbo now? Hahahahahahahahahaha. Nigeria is really a zoo filled with senseless animals. When it comes to presidency or any political appointment, they are igbo by force. The entire country will agree immediately that they are igbo, and it will be recorded that igbos took the appointments.But when it comes to biafra or making sensible contribution to igbo land, they will become ikwerre and accuse the igbos of wanting their land and oil.

It is well.

We are not saying we are igbos, we are only letting you know that with a Amaechi you have no option but to support him since you see us as igbo and we are the closest to you in Nigeria today but if you say no nobody will force you, we are Ikwerre people and we originated from Benin Kingdom. Thanks

OfoIgbo:


Of course, we still say Ikwerres are Igbos. It's just that some Ikwerres are saying they are not Igbos.

As Igbos are a democratic lot and are not dictatorial, we have chosen to RESPECT the opinion of some Ikwerres. That doesn't mean Igbos are saying Ikwerres are not Igbos.

Whenever the Ikwerre people, along with their umbrella organisations agree and make it public that they are Igbos, the other Igbos will take note and act accordingly.

But for the moment that some Ikwerres are claiming to come from Benin, the Igbos will have to respect that by also ensuring that no Ikwerre man runs as a compromise candidate for Ndigbo

Ikwerre is Ikwerre and we trace our origin to Benin Kingdom and nothing can change that!

But you have to understand that Igbos will have no other option than to Support Amaechi if he gets the ticket. Even you yourself you know it.
