From NDDC to Hyprep projects executed in Niger Delta have always been shabbily done. Roads worth millions of naira hardly last more than three months. You could see NDDC contractors on a particular road every two years reconstructing roads. They will award it under the guise of Emergency Rehabilitation of a failed portion of the road.
See attached pictures of a water tank commissioned in Gwara in Ogoni by Hyprep just four days ago has collapsed.

This lady shouldn't play with Ned. Ned knows more than her. If she doesn't want again she better keeps silent. Don't drag Nee anywhere.

Wike has finally been tamed. This is good 😊

What about the man you voted in the presidential election in 2023? He has been emasculated.

kcmichael:
the downfall of wike will be loud this time.. SC have ruled court have no jurisdiction over internal party affair

The presidential candidate you voted in 2023 is lying supine already. His propaganda and holier than thou gimmicks no longer work for him.

Kaiser20:
The Yoruba nation will join its Islamic people , them ok

Yoruba has everything it takes to be alone. Yorubas also don't go out looking for land or claiming people.

DomPerignon:
Now replace Muslim with Jews and terrorist with Communism and you will get the original quote that was made by Adolf Hitler.

That Muslim and Terrorism quote was plagiarised from Adolf Hitler's observation on how Jews were behind the bloody communists take over of Tsarist Russia.

Do you know that entire Russian Divisions surrendered to German forces with out a fight and entire Russian civilians saw German soldiers as a Christian army that came to liberate them from the Jewish hell hole that was Bolshevik Russia?

What has Jews got to do with what we are talking about? I don't blame you the man who turned the Bible upside down did so by pitching you perpetually against the Jews just because Jews failed to recognise him as a prophet.

Galaticos444:
It's obvious d western world are in support of Biafra and unlike d last time that they supported d Nigeria government during d Biafra war,I don't see them doing dsame this time around hence I don't see Nigeria defeating Biafra if there's a war

The problem is not defeating Biafra but who wants to go with Biafra. Biafra had the whole Old East. Today Biafra is only left with 5 States. They are free to leave any day they want.

Orlandoo:
A very selfish and entitled man. Wike's downfall will be loud. He should continue playing God. Lukumi people will still hail and worship Wike as their newly enthroned god, even though he insulted one of their finest sons.

Just like than man you voted in 2023. He is down already.

Mynd44:
False.

This silly narrative only comes from ignorant people.

The LRA, IRA And KKK are examples of terror groups that are not Muslim.

Matter of fact, the LRA is a predominantly christian group.

Terrorists really are just mad people no matter their ideology

If you look at the ideology of these groups you mentioned they might be Christians but weren't fighting to promote Christian ideology. They aren't forcing people to be Christians. They aren't killing people for God and shouting God is Great.
I blame the Quarash family for not doing their work effectively. This scourge would have been eliminated or nipped in the bud.

Horus:
The US Army couldn't beat Vietnam, a very small country. Vietnam's ability to defeat America stemmed from a combination of factors: effective guerrilla warfare tactics, a deep understanding of the local terrain, and strong patriotic motivation

What is deceiving you guys baffles me. Vietnam was united. Nigeria is United by force. Do you think the Christian population will fight against an American invasion? Keep deceiving yourself.

True not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims.

Op. You think all Nigerians are northerners?
Fulani man is their problem. When the same Fulani man does so in the south and he is fed his medicine the whole north will come out to say Attack on the north.
If US decided to intervene Nigeria is finished. East will use the opportunity to leave Nigeria. South South will follow immediately. US will build their base in South South Nigeria is gone.

We aren't suffering from Stockholm Syndrome to stay calm. Those who are supposed to say something about the obvious killing of northerners for religious reasons but decided to keep quiet for political correctness have started advising because America has provided the ingredients to part the country. Those being killed are humans first, then northerners a d lastly Christians. The country has remained one because of the role played by Christians of the north particularly from Benue and Plateau to keep the country one.
Biafra couldn't call the war of 1966 a religious one because of northerner Christians like Gowon then and Danjuma. If not for the Christians in the North Ojukwu would have curried the favour of Christian superpower countries.

Na true e talk. Oyibo girl go share bill with you if you go out with her. Nigeria girl will eat everything and wants you to pay all including her bus tickets.

Trump’s US is not preaching freedom. He’s fully against freedom.

A responsible nation doesn’t talk the way the US is talking. Putin keeps on killing Ukrainian Christians everyday, what has he done?

A bully chooses a weaker targets and run away from a more dangerous targets.

You can only cooperate and collaborate with a sovereign nation not all these threats.

Some of you guys being happy haven’t even seen a warplane flying innocently on the sky before , with its deafening roar and dangerous manuevre, a mother will run forget her children. Too much Hollywood has affected you. The trouble you are seeking, you will get it one day, in full measure.

Are you from the North? Who is talking about war here? Remember in modern warfare population of a people have almost become irrelevant. See Israel vs Iran: see Russia vs Ukraine also reason why China hasn't invaded Taiwan.
I am soliciting a republic for you people where you will practice Islam unfettered. Any Christian who doesn't want it should migrate to South.
Islamic Republic of Northern Nigeria comprising of North East and North West. Is this scary to you?
Any adjoining States may join it if they desire.

dederocs:
Southern Nigeria is ready to be on it's own, those people are the leeches.

It is an opportunity to ask for a country for the north. South doesn't need to say they're breaking away. They need to protest asking for a country for the north.

Helinuse:
I am 200% sure that you typed this from Lagos or Onitsha. To you, everyone in the north is a Isslamist. You’ve never crossed the lines of Abuja to know beyond your imagination.

Little do you know that the population of the north is about 40% Christians. Even in the core north, like Zamfara, Katsina, Kebbi, etc. there are whole towns and villages that are 100% Christians.

So where do you keep those ones? You leave them for their fate?

I wish you knew how to read in between the lines and can tell sentences laden with innuendos and sarcasm.

dederocs:
Sharia and blasphemy laws is oppression of non muslims, illegal in a circular country...I wonder why CAN has not even raised a protest on these issues.

There is no need of raising protest. Grant them a country of their own. It is not must to be in the same country. It was done in Sudan. It was done in India. Anyone not comfortable where he finds himself should leave.

US is a country that preaches freedom and granting people their overwhelming desire. Nigeria shouldn't be an exemption. The Islamists being majority in the north want a country strictly governed by Islamic tenets including Shari'a. The North West and North East states through Boko Haram have agitated for this for over 16 years. Instead of attacking them , they should have a country of their own where strict Islamic rules will reign supreme. This is my humble submission.

Trump unfortunately can't do anything here. Islamists in the north wants a country strictly governed by Islamic laws cum Sharia. Boko Haram and others have been in this agitation for more than 15 years.
UN, US should grant them their country. The states if the north west and north east are ready for this.

Wike wins here. He has the Secretary and majority. Forging the secretary signature is an impeachable offence.

Makavelli001:
Point of correction, I'm not Igbo. I'm from cross River. But I know ur history more than u do. I expected u to comment on important point I raised, rather u resorted to bullying.
Isoma is an Igbo word for igbos who where from isu and orsu areas of imo state. They were mostly peasants who work in people's farms to earn a living in the olden days.
Uptill date Owerri people still refers to people from orlu axis as isoma.
ikwerre migrants now generalized the concept to include all igbos and also gave a different interpretation to it.
You don't really deserve IGBO attention, they have other more important pressing matter to handle. It is a known fact that ikwerre is made up of 2 distinct groups.
1. The real ikwerres who are from Igbo linage.
2. The migrants ikwerres who came from Benin, and were allowed to settle with the indigenous ikwerre.
The migrants took advantage of Igbo defeat in the civil war, and then generalized that ikwerres aren't Igbo. They renamed Igbo communities to make it sound less igbotic.

Below is the map of PH in 1914, from the national archives.

Rest.

I never knew I was talking with a Ghanaian implant. Let me tell you your history which I know lore than you. When the Britishers emptied the Continental shelf of Biafra they started implanting the areas with returning slaves they got from Ashanti area of Ghana to prevent day Cross River. Please pass over you know little of Nigeria's and her people history. You might know much of the Fantis and the Ashantis.

onuman:
According to your write-up, Ikwerre people said they were not Igbos during and after the Biafra-Nigeria civil war.

In other words, Ikwerre people were Igbos before the civil war? Lol.

Doesn't it mean you never read I said Before, during and after the war?
Bros see tell others to rest. It is not just me.
Am Ikwerre man sees himself as being debased when you refer him to be Igbo. Igbos understand this about the Ikwerres and that is why they taunt them with Igbo identity.
And I know why. I think the first set of Igbos they saw were generally slaves captured from Igbo land and this led to the hasty generalisation.

LagosOrigin:
President Donald J Trump is now interested in the ongoing genocide and I trust he will put a stop to it his own way.

Trump can't help the situation. Islamists want a country of their own to be governed in strict Islamic rules. This fight has been on for over 15 years. What every right thinking person and freedom loving individuals should do is to call for the granting of this agitation. To this end states of the North West and North East are ready for this.
Biafra war didn't last up to this. UN need to be called into this. Justice for the Islamists. Grant them their country.
In the same vein if the south east continues in their agitation to leave the federation perhaps to form a Christian Republic it should also be granted .

Faber:
The Igbo people have inhabited their current homeland for centuries, but there is no single founding date. Archaeological evidence points to early human activity in the region over 250,000 years ago. Key cultural developments include the rise of the Nri Kingdom around the 10th century and evidence of settlement and advanced bronze and iron working in Igbo-Ukwu by the 9th century.

The Ikwerre people have ancient origins traced to a 13th-century flight from the Benin Kingdom. Their history is marked by distinct ethnic identity formation, with a significant cultural and political declaration in 1965, leading to their official recognition as a separate group in the 1979 Nigerian Constitution.

You became a tribe in 1979 and you claim a tribe that have existed from 2,500 years copied your language. This is the most laughable stuff I have read on the Internet...you cannot defend or assert Ikwerre superiority over Igbo without sounding stupid...look at how laughable you sound 🤣🤣🤣

I have been discussing with a comedian all these while chai

What you go school to learn as Central Igbo is actually 80% Ikwerre and that is why as an Igbo person as you claim to be you learn how to speak in school. An Ikwerre man understands it without learning it in school. But you Igbos learn it. Is it not A shame? If you speak your native Igbo dialect it has nothing in similar with what an Ikwerre man speaks everyday.

Faber:
Are you aware America was founded by Spain, it was named after Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci commissioned by Spain, just like Christopher Columbus. The Spanish are the earliest founders or America and Spanish is 2nd most spoken language in United States...you just dey talk anyhow

When we say you people are barbarians you doubt us. For the avoidance of doubt that is what Isoma means in Ikwerre language. If America was formed by Spain why are you in doubt that Igbos were actually Ikwerres ostracised from Ikwerre land?

The solution to all this is that the Islamists want a country of their own. A country where the strictest form of Islam would be practised. Create out of Nigeria Islamic Republic. North West and North East are ready for this. Then any adjoining States wishing to join can. The killing may not stop until this is achieved.

Makavelli001:
This trend is about anioma but this ikwerre internet worior don turn am to ikwerre vs Igbo trend.

I've lived in both ikwerre and Igboland for years. I observed that An average Igbo man don't bother himself about ikwerre. They don't even know whether ikwerre exist. It only online that I'm seeing this nonsense debate.

But the truth is that every tribe have the right to decide which group to belong. And the right for self determination. Despite that, igbos will always come for the ikwerres, because they have something that belongs to the igbos... Language, culture and Land.
Kreesxxx is arguing that currently majority of ikwerre repute Igbo identity.
This may be true in recent circumstances. But it was not always like this. I remember that in the 80s and 90s the identity crisis was not noticable in most parts of ikwerre. I was only Strong in emuoha lga. But after the return to democracy in 1999, politicians most especially during Amechi's tenure sponsored the indoctrination and the younger generation were completely brainwashed.


The privilege that ikwerre is enjoying in rivers today was given to them by Igbo men Zik and Ebitu. In early 90s when they haven't created bayelsa, ijaws we're dominating rivers politics. They often have conflicts with ikwerres to the extent that it often amount to streets riots between okirikas and the ikwerres. The okirikas attached themselves with the ijaws, while the ikwerres looked up to the Igbo. They sent delegation to Zik for help. That was why Obi wali was seriously campaigning for Port Harcourt state. (Exactly what Ned is doing now) Forward to when abacha wanted to create new states. Zik instructed Ebitu ukiwe to present Bayelsa states as one of the states to be created, in order to free igboids in rivers from ijaw dominance. That is how rivers was split.
In my own opinion, ikwerres elites are very ungrateful to the Igbo. They are directing their anger to the wrong people.
I'm not an Igbo person, but in view of what I have observed, igbos will surely come for ikwerres in the future because of the atrocities that their elites (mosty especially wike) have committed against the Igbo.
Lastly, Kreesxxx your assertion that ikwerres have their ogbakor ikwerre before Igbo came up with ohanaeza show that u are so naive about your history.
Before ohaneze, there was Igbo state union which was established in 1948. It was baned in 1966 after the military took over. It later metaphored to ohaneze during the second republic.
The same era that ogbakor ikwerre was established, there was also other Igbo groups such as the orlu progressive union and many others.it was mainly established for political reasons not for tribe identity as portraited now by the ikwerres. Most of ur assertion is as of the results of indoctrination. There is no historical documents about Rumumasi declaration. Also these assertion u are bringing up are recent notions fabricated by ur elites in other to strengthen their claim. Even Elechi Amadi who was the architect of this ikwerre identity crisis did not mentioned it in any of his write up.

Kreesxxx make u dey camp down. NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT.

You started by making sense but after a while you showed why we call you people Isoma. Like I have said the repudiation of the Igbos among Ikwerre people is traditionally and culturally fantastical. It is ingrained in the daily life of an average Ikwerre man.ost of wives and mother are Igbos but when they come over and observe this they also quickly adjust.
Igbo people maintained their boundary after the war. It was like this before the war. The only difference now is that the Igbo man doesn't have the authority he used to have before the war that made his lord over Eastern Nigeria and hence Ikwerre people.
Ikwerre people have always said they are not Igbo before, during and after the war and this is not a make up case. Ikwerre people had so much to benefit by claiming Igbo identity before the war but with the last pint of blood in their vein they denied Igbo identity to the chagrin of people like you.
Culture is interwoven and might be copied from big and small tribes vice versa.
After the war an Igbo man maintained his boundaries. It was Kanu and his radio Biafra that woke up this enmity. An Ikwerre man sees an Igbo man as a brother. Most Ikwerre people like myself fall into this line. But where u see that it is not true is to call an Ikwerre man Igbo. It is not. And I agree it is not due to some cultural practices that forbids anyone even with Igbo mother among us.

Faber:
The same thing you said here was the reason Governor Sim mocked one king some days ago...he says he is not Igbo but answers "Ochi Oha" now you said you have Igbo blood and not Igbo...have you seen an Igbo man tell you he have Ikwerre or Yoruba or Hausa blood..
You people want to sit on the fence, then you turn around and claim that Igbos are dragging you people to join them...

I see an average Ikwerre man as a confused person

My grandmother was an Igbo woman is that enough to say I have Igbo blood?
SIM you can see is half a man. How can governor say such? Language is shared. If not for verifiable
history would you believe that America migrated from the UK? We will dig this deep one day and we will end up learning you were the one who stole language. What most of you speak as language you call Igbo is what what you learnt in school. An Ikwerre man doesn't need to go to school before understanding it. What does that tell you? You copied Ikwerre man's language and called it yours. You call it central Igbo yet you need to go to school to learn how to speak it.

The Superman knows the law. It is not all about contact only but understanding the law helps.

Faber:
Who and who wants you to be Igbo man? What we Igbos are saying that you should maintain your Ikwerre weather good or bad... In the face of troubles you people will claim you are Igbos so that Igbos with their population and national spread will fight for you... Amaechi did it, Wike did it , even Asari Dokubo...

Then when Igbos are being persecuted, you guys will distance yourselves. I don't understand how 39 million people are dragging 1.2 million people to join them or how 1.2 million people are claiming to be greater than 39 million people, that 39 million people are greater than them.

There's no Ikwerre man, dead or alive that big pass the highest rank Igbo man. Name one Ikwerre man on the Nigerian currency? Name one Ikwerre man that have become Senate President in Nigeria, Name Ikwerre man that have become chief of Army Staff, name one Ikwerre man that have his name on any airport in Nigeria, even private air strip. Name one Ikwerre man that is Catholic Archbishop or Catholic Cardinal in Nigeria. Name one Ikwerre man that have become president of this country. Name one Ikwerre man that have headed the CBN, or INEC...in Nigeria Ibibio/Efik, Kamuri, Bini, Ijaw, Tiv, Jukun, Nupe comes as 2nd class tribes after the big 3. Know where your tribe belong. They belong to 3rd class tribes in Nigeria... occupying only 4 local governments. Take sleeping pill, no one dey drag you to join them for what exactly, no one is envious of you, wetin you get Igbo no get.

Bye

You have belittled the Igbo by comparing them to Ikwerre people. If you are looking for your contemporaries look towards the Yorubas and the Hausa/Fulanis. Igbos have 5 states while Ikwerre is roughly four LGAs. Please dont belittle the Igbos. Meanwhile Ikwerres are contented with their boundaries. There is never a time an Ikwerreman full of pride would call himself Igbo. Wike never did it. The Igbo man that called Amaechi Igbo he took the mic from the Igbo man and told him he is Ikwerre. See it is a taboo in Ikwerre land for anyone to anyone to tag a diali Igbo. This is where you Igbos have not understood. It is something cultural and not a social media something. An Ikwerre man sees himself a blue blood and a superior race. Let me also reveal to you that in Ikwerre land if you are a prince it is a taboo to get married to an Igbo woman. I am sorry I am telling you all these. Like I told you I have Igbo blood but this is what I noticed among my people.

Faber:
What do you think you have that the Igbos don't have that they want to annex you?
Mention it here Mr. Igbo hater. You think say you dey talk to baby

So why do you want me to be Igbo man? Bros the truth I wont lie for you a typical Ikwere man does not want anything to do with Igbo identity.
