Waqes900:
yes it was between south south and south east, but wike wanted it for himself, pdp have produced a president from south south in the person of Jonathan, why then is a wike a south south man aggressively looking to run again. It should be for southeast. But he wanted it for himself.

No one goes out for power effeminately. You don't pretend for what you want. Wike was all out for it. Don't blame him.

edogu:
How can you say that it was the turn of South South? Was Goodluck not from South South? If we are to go with your logic that means it was equally the turn of the South West.

You have just replied Eze. South South not only Wike believes that South South has a term left. That was the reason Buhari contested after Yaradua.

Eze is being intellectually dishonest. It was the turn of the South. Atiku shouldn't dictate for the South. Atiku did that because Wike was against his candidacy. Wike insisted that it was the turn of the South. And truth be told it was between South South and South East. An external person shouldn't be the one to say it must be from this zone. South never dictated where northern candidacy came from. Yaradua was from North West the same with Buhari. South didn't say it must be north east or central. Where was Atiku when Buhari took APC ticket after Yaradua?
As it is today South South still has a term to complete.

Kukutente23:
Keep quiet
The constitution does not say a court must declare the seat of defectors vacant before the lose their seats.
The constitution says they "SHALL" lose their seats upon the letters of their defection being read on the floor of the House

I like this part. Which floor of the house did they read their defections letter?
If you say Martins lead house I will ask you who passed the budget Fubara is using today. By the time of their purported defections Ehie was the speaker.

Change the Headline To : Monster Python Killed Yesterday.

saddler:
I am not the reason you dont understand simple English.

Igbo language of today has borrowed words and most importantly culture from ika, Ikwerre, and other groups in the south south.


Infact as at about a hundred years ago, the igbo man was still naked and not wearing clothes.

The red cap/winter cap you now parade is a recent thing.

The apoche you were was also borrowed recently.


Ika, Ikwerre, Ogba etc are older than igbo.

Very older than igbo. The part of Ikwerre I come from if they call you Isoma it means the person is a barbarian without a culture.

Tranquill:
The problem with most of you is willful shallowness. Languages all over the world are interrelated. Words or languages alone don’t define people. Ikwerre and Igbo don’t share the same values, ways of life, behaviour, world view etc. mek ona rest

French: "Culture"
German: "Kultur"
Spanish: "Cultura"

An Igbo man knows an igbo man and can always tell the difference between an igbo man and Ikwerre man. They want people they will call sub-igbo. And I keep telling them that the ikwerre I come from feel superior.

TheElites19s:
I hope people will not blame judiciary when they finally give their ruling..?

Because judges will only rule on what was brought before him not by emotion

Tell this to Edwin Clark.

princeade86:
don't worry, a case is coming to u soon and u will know what law says.

So u now believe what the law says? You no longer believe Wike will bribe lawyers?
Elder Edwin Clark should focus on his Delta State.

Toluwanise247:
Total waste of time

Entirely waste of time. The man went behind to beg Wike when it didn't work he came back to write letters.
Unfortunately in law the onus of prove rest on he who alleges. Fubara said they had defected. Go to court and prove how they defected.

kingbee90:

Damagun was planted as a mole to destroy PDP by Wike and Amoda Ogunlere.
Well, PDP deserves what they are getting now since they betrayed Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

So who do you want to plant?

MEGAWATCH:
You see that useless Samuel Anyanwu from imo State that Wike is using like boiboi in PDP is digging his political grave.

That idiot will never smell any elected political position again in Imo State till he will die.

Useless idiots parading themselves as politicians.

Who is using the other party?

Did someone gift Ned his money or he worked to earn it?
I am asking due to what I just read Ned said and believed about Regina.

When you hear karma, shift body. We tell la, him no hear, but him go hear by force by authority.

EmekaA125:
Ikwerre has 3 LGA.

Ok. I was thinking 4. Thanks.

Cindypresh:
There's no osu caste system in my hometown too. It isn't a general practice.

Who are the Arochukwu and who are the Igbos, what made Arochukwu Igbos?

When you say Igbos just know you're also refering to ikwerre people too, except you start singling other Igbo groups out for comparison.

Akpor people are not Igbos too??

Can you please come to Akpor Ancestral Hall to remind us of our igboness? Some of us have forgotten. I will give you transport in case you don't have.

CoronaVirusPro:




Fvck Israel!

If you no dey fear Israel correctly spell what you have written so that Israel cyber spy can pick it. You think hiding in Oshogbo can save you? Your drone is warming up close to Egypt border.

Dpharisee:
The Rotimi Amaechi you mentioned has consistently and publicly mentioned that he is in his own words "a full blooded Igboman"

You are a complete liar. The Rotimi that shouted down an Igbo leader that who called him a proud igbo son.
See what Amaechi told the Deji of Akure;.https://thefact.ng/16709-2/
Did you see where Amaechi told the Deji he came from?

NothingDoMe:
They trace their origin to the Yorubas as well. Language is fairly similar and they don't get offended if you refer to them as Yoruba.

We don't trace our origin to Igbo. An average Ikwerre man feels superior.

caleboxylic:
Not with an igwurita and elele man. You are hiding under ikwerre to spread hate. You must be an ogbakiri man or emuoha man.

We don't know what you call osu from the igbo clan I came from. I'm an igbo - odo man from nsukka cultural zone.

Take note! I will never wish to be an ikwerre man in my next world, because most of you guys were exiled from igbo mainland!

Nothing to be proud about been from ogbakiri or ekpeye or emuoha as you guys remain the poorest amongst all igbo clans.

Rest please.

Cindypresh:
Don't you have osu in ikwerre?

Who are the Igbos? Do you realize Igbo is a generic term and not a language comparable to ikwerre. The people your ancestors called isoma are mostly those living in imo state.

Have you encountered Nsukka person? Afikpo person?? Or you think we all speak one dialect in southeast??

Have you heard an ogbaru man speak??

Riverine Igbos are referred to as OLU by the hinterlands...does that make them less Igbo? Same way your refering to orlu/Owerri people as isoma don't mean you aren't one people.

Enugu people still refer to ndị Anambra as agbaelu till today, are they different people??

Ikwerres do not practice the OSU caste system.
The only people who live with us but are treated almost as the Igbos treat the OSU are the Arnu people that's Arochukwu descendants.
Bros there is no tie anywhere that link ikwerres to the Igbos. See as close as Omerelu is to imo state communities there is no tie between this ikwerre community to these Igbo communities. Rather some of these communities in imo State are saying they are not igbo but ikwerres. But we can't claim them because there is no historic link that they are ikwerre.
See all ikwerre communities are linked by blood ties
Like the Akpor Kingdom was actually formed by nine brothers.

Xxxxtentacion2:
All these useless APC bots...
They are not even ashamed to be supporting failures.
By 2027 APC will be buried.

The highest evil APC did to PDP was to sign Wike and keep him on the bench. PDP needs someone to provide visible and vibrant leadership.

Odingo1:
If you are an Ikwerre man, you should understand that God of creation has made your Ikwerre language similar to Igbo language and it is forever difficult to dissociate yourselves from Igbos.

Just imagine a man named Chibuike Amaechi or Eberechukwu Nwike Nyosom telling a Yoruba or Hausa or people of other countries that he or she is not Igbo, don’t you think that your name gave you out as Igbo before even speaking the language.

Anywhere you see someone answering Ayodele, Shola, Adeyomi, you will not think twice to call the person a Yoruba. So it is quite a difficult task for you Ikwerres forever to separate yourself from Igbos.

There may be itshekiri having some words in common with Yorubas. Any day I find him I may hastily take him to be a Yoruba person. I will listen to him when he corrects me with his real identity. I will not force him to be who he is not. Names and cultured are borrowed. Those names might have been ikwerre originally.
When England realized they couldn't force Scotland to be English they form a union called United Kingdom of Great Britain. Igbos can do this.

Odingo1:
It can be either way, Igbo can be a dialect of Ikwerre but the bottom like is that the two languages are similar that both to a large extent can hear each other.

USA is a migrant country, not only migrant from UK but the rest of Europe but Uk is the first to conquer the land, in term of Ikwerre and Igbo, there was no colonialism from either side of Ikwerre or Igbo meaning that their languages are their ancestral heritage which is intelligible with each other signifying the same origin.

Bros I wish to be your friend. Secondly for you to be this liberal in thinking you are not igbo. I know this. We have always told them that by our language being mutually intelligible that we are related people and not necessarily the other. But the domineering igbo man wants the prideful ikwerre man to drop his identity.
See ikwerre epitomize in both Amaechi and Wike. Do these two men have Igbo characteristics? One thing common in us is pride. Ikwerre man has this naturally. He is arrogant, he is boastful and I can say pompous. These are not typical Igbo way of life.

Odingo1:
Not true, I don’t live in Portharcourt, I understand Elele, Igwuruta, Ubima, Obioakpo, Diobi etc nothing different in these area languages with Igbo language. Is simply the same language with dialects variations.

What about if I say igbo is a dialect of Ikwerre people?
If you understand me and I also understand you don't you think you might be me? Have a reason to reason in a bilateral dimension. USA migrated from Great Britain. Today USA is almost five times Great Britain in power and population.
If not for written history no one would believe USA left UK for north America.

Odingo1:
Languages can’t be stolen, Ikwerre word itself is Igbo word of saying Yes I agree. Every language that can understand across many people is the same language.

The day you people will understand that every community has an equal stake to the moon that is when you people will stop with trying to rub us with igbo. Rubbing us with Igbo pains us as when I rub you with OSU identity if at all you are not one.

caleboxylic:
Lol!
How is emuoha man related to elele, isiokpo, or igwuruta man?
All of the present ikwerre clans migrated from ndoki, arochukwu, ngwa, ogba, ekpeye and owerri clans. People of Aluu, igwuruta, isiokpo, elele, emuoha, rebisi, and obio/akpor all migrated from different igbo and igba/ekpeye clans.

Let me just summarise this for you, as long as you have kp in your names, you are an igbo man.
Shalom!

Don't waste your time. Ikwerres see Igbos as Isoma. With this name at the back of our mind, the ikwerre man would prefer death to igbo identity. As you are an OSU another igbo man would prefer death to accepting to be an OSU like you.

caleboxylic:
Lol!
How is emuoha man related to elele, isiokpo, or igwuruta man?
All of the present ikwerre clans migrated from ndoki, arochukwu, ngwa, ogba, ekpeye and owerri clans. People of Aluu, igwuruta, isiokpo, elele, emuoha, rebisi, and obio/akpor all migrated from different igbo and igba/ekpeye clans.

Let me just summarise this for you, as long as you have kp in your names, you are an igbo man.
Shalom!

Good you know my history. Historian thanks for educating me. Can you now tell me your history?

Odingo1:
Who is talking about Biafra here, the context is that Ikwerre language is an Igbo dialect because all them can hear each other and bear the same names and that doesn’t make Ikwerre people Biafrans.

Ikwerre can deny not been Igbo for political reasons but in reality their Ikwerre language is the same with Igbo language.

Do you understand ikwerre?
Let's put it into test.
Iyo vo vu ivuru. Iyo vu ivoma.
What did I say?

Odingo1:
All those things you call facts doesn’t matter because the reality on ground is that your language you call Ikwerre is Igbo dialect. If Igbo man is standing near you and you are with another Ikwerre person discussing , can you sell the Igbo man standing near you with your Ikwerre without the Igbo person hearing what you are saying in your language you call Ikwerre.

Igbos staying in their conclave wouldn't understand me. The only igbo that will understand ikwerre are those who have spent some times in Port Harcourt.
Igbos have known ikwerre for over a hundred years and every effort to annex ikwerre has failed. We may be a related ethnic but not one the other. Our cultures, beliefs and values differ.
Igbo has advantage because of numbers. That is why ikwerre is being classified as Igbo. An average Igbo man knows that if not for territorial expansion he doesn't have any similarities with an Ikwerre man.
