Odingo1: They don’t share similar words, Ikwerre is Igbo language or whichever language you want to call it. The two languages are intelligible, Anioma, Ika, Ikwerre are on the same family language and can be grouped under Igbo because you all hear yourselves and bear the same names.
Any language that is heard by all that is speaking fall under the same language like Portuguese, Spanish and Italian are under Latin language and diverge into different dialects from Latin, the same with German languages of Germany, Austria etc.
In Yoruba, Awoori, Ilaje, Egun language can’t be understood by Yorubas and yet it was classified as Yoruba to talk of Ikwerre language that every Igbo person can hear und understand very well.
Classifying language under a group doesn't make the people the same. It is for easy of study and identity. If ikwerre had 5 states as Igbos and Igbos 4 LGA the classification will be in reverse. Understand this. Having some words in common with you doesn't make me you.
Darren95: Oga respect yourself, we speak Ikwerre Language which has over 20 dialects.
That Ikwerre and Igbo happen to share some similar words in both languages due to close boundary and trading does not give you the audacity to group our language as Igbo!
For your information: Igbo means “Forest” in Ikwerre Language and our Ikwerre Language or identity is not “Forest”! Plss!!! Hahahah
Note: Ikwerre and Igbo are not the only tribes that share some similar words in both languages In Nigeria and Across Africa and the world.
Stop trying to attach yourself to us, be proud of yourself, We Ikwerres are doing perfectly well!
Wene meka. Ask any Igbo man igbo word for YES it doesn't exist. The people go about stealing language and culture. Some years later it will become theirs. Don't be surprised in years to come Igbo will claim ikwerre copied waist dance from them. Today they are copying it in church. Many of them no longer stand and dance. They now bend down to wriggle their waist like the typical ikwerre people. After some years they will say it is theirs. How Igbos that ikwerres call isoma would turn around to rub this name on us is quite despicable.
Odingo1: You can’t be speaking Igbo and be claiming Bini, saying you lost your Bini language to Igbo, that is laughable, just say that you people are denying been Igbo for political reasons.
What is Igbo word for 'Yes'? Let's start here to know who stole the other person's language.
Take it easy with your infantile,puerile and childish mindset!!
Who's still talking about "go back to your state" at this point in time.
"Go back to your state" is the political catch phrase used ONLY during elections in ONLY Lagos by BATists who're afraid of the effects of non Yorubas in Lagos during elections..
Anybody still using such catch phrase outside the cycle of elections is the DEMON strangulating Nigeria!! Are your people not in other people's states and doing well there;taking their expertise or plying their specialties to where it's needed?
For example,Yorubas are not only aplenty in the SouthEast,but many are serving in the governments...especially in the Enugu State govt but you can never hear Igbos tell Yorubas "Go back to your state"!!
So are ALL Nigerian tribes living TOGETHER in their numbers in ALL states of the country (As required by law) and no one tells the other "Go back to your state",why's your different?
Isn't this Demonic bigotry?
Or is it a CHILDISH Political game??!!
Or the permissivism in Nairaland??
Bro,stop this charade.It belittles you
I can summarize this your inanities with the popular catch phrase 'Go back to your state'. Are you an OSU? Were you ostracized? Why are you afraid of going back to your state? IDPs.
Are you saying that you only have a right to comment on someone's demeanor if he hails from your state of origin, not place of residence?
How sensible does that sound to you?
You shouldn't be on this platform then, as you are licensed to only speak on Rivers State issues-- if you have ever commented on happenings in other state or of individuals not from your state of origin, it goes to show you are a hypocrite.
Did you ever have an opinion on Trump and Kamala? Did you just skip post on it and didn't comment? Are you an American? Do you even live in America?
Please, stop being myopic.
Every one has a right to an opinion and playing the indigene card is childish to say the least.
Tackle issues. That way you'll come off as intelligent.
Now, let me emphasize:
We are Nigerians and have a right to make contributions to any matter of interest.
Shalom.
Do
Your verbosity wouyhave made a lot of meaning if just 10% of it was used to call your state governor to action. Face your state. I don't live in US and don't mind what they do there. I am not from there. I only put my money where my mouth is.
kaludestiny10: Is FCT Wike's village? Telling me to go back to my village is like telling every citizen of Nigeria to relocate back to their hometown or village.
Wike spends his weekends in Port Harcourt. He is on national assignment in Abuja. Are you on national assignment in Rivers State? Go to your state criticize or support your governor. In so doing they will live up to their responsibilities and you people will not be finding yourselves as IDP anywhere you are.
kaludestiny10: Your opinion of me is from a point of ignorance because you don't know me in person. And to correct your assertions, I don't hate people, I only hate their actions and inactions.
Hold your state governors responsible is it a bad advice? Go back to your state is it a bad advice?
kaludestiny10: In response to your question, I haven't done more than the FCT minister because I don't occupy any public office. When it comes to road infrastructure, I will give to Wike but it has always been at the expense of people's properties. As for his actions during the COVID 19 lockdown, his actions were neither here nor there because you don't lock hungry people inside and expect them to remain inside their houses without a source of livelihood. He went as far as demolishing people's properties all in the name of lockdown. Closed marketplaces beyond the stipulated time and the goods of traders got damaged as a result of that.
You have said nothing to justify your morbid hatred for a Wike. Meanwhile you people hardly hold your state governors responsible. You only attack governors of states you have left your states for. You won't feel Wike 'misgovernance' if you had remained in your state.
AntiZikist: If the person you quoted and his fellow co travellers put all the effort they use in attacking Wike to challenge their wicked and evil governors , politicians and socallef elite, maybe they won't have time to be forming critic on other governors from other zones in the south.
Terrible hypocrites whose houses are burning but nah to dey point fingers at another man's compound.
Bros we have known them and we have decided not to be Hausas or northerner before 1966 That was how northerner joined them in criticizing their leaders. A time came when they decided to do a way with their leaders. When the dust settled northerners realized that it was only their own leaders that were killed. Other Nigerians must learn from this. Imagine if Yorubas had joined them to kill Tinubu in the last EndSars protest.
kaludestiny10: When a man that thinks he is an emperor decides to turn 40 years old whisky to his drinking water, what else do you expect of his health? Aside his love for alcohol, the Bible says there is no peace for the wicked. During COVID 19, Wike dealt with many Rivers residents. Also during his tenure as governor, he displaced and rendered many useless by forcefully taking over their businesses and properties. Pensioners didn't receive their gratuity until when he was about to leave office that he managed to pay few of the retirees. Wike also refused to pay the minimum wage to the civil servants in the state. So when we sum up Wike's wickedness to the citizens of Rivers state and the FCT currently, it is evident that he has no peace. I don't envy the man.
In your little space, proportionally, are you sure you haven't done more than Wike? Wike did well during the COVID period. Many international bodies applauded his efforts. The advice then was stay at home. Avoid crowded environments. These were coming from WHO. Wike was all out to implement it. He implemented it to the best of his conscience. If he took an action in a haste once there was a plead for reconsiderations he changed his mind immediately. He would order a lockdown and some days later he would lift it. Bros we know where you come from no doubt you can never like a Wike. Everyone reasonable Nigerian is applauding what he is doing in Abuja. People have said that after ElRufai he is the next FCT minister who has come with a difference. But no doubt your default page about him is hatred.
A reminder to Deji Adeyanju that Wikes health condition wasn't as it is now some 11 years ago. A decade is enough to alter a man's life. Like death no man mocks the other with their health condition. We have seen those who do not drink dying before those who drink.
Sometimes medical doctors who advised us not to smoke, are chain smokers themselves.
Please patriots pay less attention to comments here disparaging Wike. They are the words of bitter people who think evil only about Nigeria. It must be them or they rock the boat.
This man dealt with Ipob and Ipob promax -ipobidients. The funny thing is that God is answering ipobidients prayers against him in opposite direction. They wanted Tinubu to do away with him in the midst of that Tinubu declares him his friend and political advisor.
Atiku should bid farewell to leading Nigeria. It is not meant to be no matter the soothsaying of the marabout. Atiku is nothing less than 80 years today. My dad worked under him when he was the AA of International airport Lagos. Today my father is 78. He said Atiku wasn't only his superior in rank but also in age.
YouandiAllofus: I refuse to understand why wike is hell bent on protecting his so called "structure" instead of infrastructures in that state if not for his selfish gain and to cover previous tracks he is afraid anti graft agency might uncover. He is only trying to trade independent governance for his cover.
He can only buy time and enjoy it's luxury while it last. But will surely be called to question afterwards should there be the manifestation of a reason.
What if every former governor had "structures" to protect in that state? How would the state's affairs be like by now? If the new governor is "operating with impunity," why not channel your grieviances to the relevant authorities instead of trying to play the role of anti graft agencies.
The man should rest abeg
No former governor in Rivers State successfully installed a successor. All politicians gun for personal gains. Fubara wants Wikes structure dismantle for personal gains.
I am sympathetic to PDP may vote their candidates though not a card carrying member. APC reason of not granting your request may not be unrelated to the many parallel fronts of PDP in Ekiti State. There may be infighting that could result in property damage during the rally. Put up a front there could be change of decision. Thanks.
PVision2020: PDP/ Goodluck appointed Amina Zakari, so why are they calling for her head?
You dont know let me tell you. Jonathan gave Buhari chance to nominate someone she was the one Buhari found close enough to nominate. In other words she was nominated by Buhari.
Tundeobama: Anyone who support pdp are either gullible or thieves who are not ashamed please was pdp coming back to do, a party who failed Nigerians 16yrs Nigerians chase them no coming back.And this ipods rubbish people shouting yoruba Muslim am a Christian for your information we are one.we all voting apc including traditional religion. Pdp never again see all south west state are Apc including Ekiti and ondo we are ready.
Mention ten key players presently of your APC and I will show you eight former PDP members.
Since Manna became mannerless by joining Aggrieved Peoples Party he has been talking very empty. Budget is an intention if the government revenue forecast is achieved. It is fully implemented when revenue trickles in as planned. It is only a statement of intent. To me budget makes government to be inflexible and underperform as it impedes dynamism . Though the major goal is for accountability and taking stock of government performance.
