Paraman:
IKwerres are not igbos.

My goal is not to take the most popular stance at all times, it’s to be right. Now try addressing the argument I actually made.

I don't quote miscreants, just see this as an honour and try to address the point.

Noneroone:
I have not read the book( don't care to read BTW) but I didn't see any quoted statement if Denys ancestral link with the South East. Seems made up by Punch.

Is it me or has ngwa stopped being southeast?

Imagine, Ngwa which has a larger population than Bayelsa State and the most populated Igbo clan is no more Igbo but Bini. Bini language and empire must have been neo-Igbo

opamoses1:
You are reading it upside down.



Iwhurohna, Etche and Ngwa all have Bini ancestry through their father Akalaka (a Bini man).

Sharap there, so Aba Ngwa is no more Igbo but Bini?

Slytiger:
The man never called the UK no man's land or insulted the British people which you ibos are fond of.

Go and rest. You don't have a defence for your tribalism. Aba has been called a no man's land since 1880 AD till today and no one is attacked during elections.

Paraman:
Attache by force people will start arguing now

Did you even read the statement to see the foolishness of the author by claiming Aba Ngwa and Ikwerre are siblings? He claimed "His first wife begat two sons Ekpeye and Ogba - and the second wife begat Iwhurohna (Ikwerre), Etche (Igbo) and Ngwa (Igbo).

If Etche and Ngwas are Igbos then logically Ikwerres are Igbos.

ahh....this is the modified ad hominem:

They deny affiliation with Igbos but claim they are siblings with Ngwas, Etches etc from the same Igbo tribes. How is that possible?

Imagine forming the Igbo political party in Lagos State. All hail will be let loose.

National support for Palestinians will continue – exemplified by South Africa’s case against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Israel listens to no one when fighting the war against annihilation. Africa should allow Arabs to take the lead in the war they started. Israel thinks Jews were cheated out of the mandate by the creation of Jordan where 70% of the citizens are Arab Palestinians and the rest is history.

FreeStuffsNG:
Not unexpected.

Many do not know that these are not really new appointments. These elected politicians were already the shadow ministers holding portfolios while in opposition, some of them have been holding their shadow minister portfolio position for years e.g Les Westing has being the shadow minister/ secretary for health for awhile and they interview them regularly on SkyNews TV channel and some other media platforms.

They just literally switched positions from shadow ministers to ruling party substantive cabinet ministers.

Btw,there are still about 1000 members of the House of the Lords, unelected Lords/Lawmakers, mostly hereditary Lords like our inheritable Chieftaincy title roles, King/PM-appointed Lords who these elected House of Commons members must always get their approval to get laws passed. We used to have similar system during the 1st Republic until the military scattered everything.

Despite the pomp and pageantry, UK is still a quasi democracy with strong monarchy control especially through the House of the Lords unlike our own full-fledged democracy. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Nigeria is not supposed to be a democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic.

The type of reformating Seun needs can only come from an Igbo lady. If not for petty grudges and immaturity he already had my sister Ogugua, the former romance section moderator

It's only the National Assembly that has the power to ratify treaties. The president has the power to sign away the people's authorization.

Ikwerres deny ancestral affiliation with South-East

Kindly share this story:

The Ikwerre ethnic nationality in Rivers State has insisted that they have no ancestral link with the South-Eastern part of the country, as being erroneously portrayed in some quarters.

They maintained that they are a distinct ethnic group in Rivers State, South-South of Nigeria, and are by no means connected to the Igbos, who are located in the South-East geo-political zone of the country.

A prominent Ikwerre elder, Sir Mike Elechi, stated this at the launch of a book titled ‘Without Prejudice: An Exploration of Ikwerre History,’ written by the late Dick Azunda Hekerem Emejuru.

Represented by His Royal Highness Damian Ejiohuo, the Nye Nwe-Ali Ndele in Emohua Local Government Area of the state, Elechi, a member of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission, who was the chairman of the occasion, said in his address that the Ikwerres have a migration history from the ancient Benin kingdom, adding, “At about 1438 AD, there was a revolution in the Benin kingdom, which led to the assassination of the heir apparent to the throne of the Oba of Benin.”

He added, “The revolution was premised on human sacrifice during a particular festival. Some princes – namely, Asava, Oniche, Akalaka and Owiri – spearheaded the revolution. All of the princes involved in the skirmish ran eastwards for safety with their families.

“Akalaka moved down with his family of two wives and children to Elele (Okani-eli). His first wife begat two sons – Ekpeye and Ogba – and the second wife begat Iwhurohna, Etche and Ngwa…The same incident that led to the Benin revolution reared its ugly head again at Elele. It was to your tents oh Israel. Ekpeye, led by his first son Ehuda, crossed the Sombriero River with Ogba, and the latter moved towards the Orashi area.

“Iwhurohna and his barrage of three wives and many children decided to remain at Elele, ‘Akwerrile naa soh nii nowa’’ meaning ‘we have decided to remain here,’ and that was how the name Ikwerre came to be.”

Former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, who was represented by Senator Andrew Uchendu, urged the Ikwerre people to be proud of who they are, stressing the roles politicians can play in preserving the Ikwerre history.

I do not know the answer. I think it should be directed to Seun

Divorce is reversing to the default setting. Remarrying is an attempt to restart afresh with another configuration while avoiding malware and viruses left behind.

Polygamy is as abnormal as trisomy.

Who elected Wike as minister in FCT

Did you read from left to right? Senator Kingibe is the highest elected officer in Abuja.

You posted what Nairalanders took to Reddit and as you can see, curse words are eliminated and moderated. The thread talks about how Black Americans are complaining of abuse by Black Nigerians and the world war going on within Nigeria between tribes. Your reclusive arguments are ridiculous.

Omoawoke:
Shut up!!!

You screaming international community like Nairaland appeared on CNN or being discussed on Aljazeera to push your dumb narrative that your opinion mattered.
The high value you attached to Nairaland appearing on Reddit isn’t worth it. Na normal thing and no be today

Those are Nigerians and Nairalanders going to Reddit to create a thread. I can create a thread in 2 minutes there and share it here for you to see. The same Reddit filled with the worst threads from the bottomless pit is the one you are jumping with excitement like a gorilla on heat because they mentioned NL

Nothing extraordinary about it. Go back to your cave and swallow your nonsense opinion because no one cares.

No today Nigerians don't create a thread for Reddit, and nobody made any noise.

See for yourself uncivilized old

See how disrespectful Omokri sounds to the highest elected officer in FCT

Every plea to Seun to change the Nairaland User Interface has met stationary rock. There should be a safe space on Nairaland. Mute, block, and go private where those you want to restrict your comment to are the only ones seeing them. These are mandatory options given to social media users.

Nairaland is just a social media platform with a taste of hellfire.

He has repented, apologized, and asked for forgiveness.

The suspension is illegal and an infringement of the rights of their various constituencies.

It's the right of any legislator to plot and move for impeachment of any political officeholder, it is not a crime. Matt Gaetz (Matthew Louis Gaetz II) single-handedly removed the former Republican Speaker in the USA.

My own be say, the farmers should have unrestricted access to their farmland unharassed and untaxed.

Islam is not a religion. It's a political party.

For free people but definitely not a presidential system for any country where Islam is recognized as a State religion or Islam appears in their constitution. The parliamentary system is the best form of democracy for all. But for Islam, Kings and Shieks are better.

SmartPolician:
Apparently, Hope Uzodinma just woke up from his 4-year slumber after wasting his first tenure in office. Dude is going all over the state starting new projects he will eventually abandon.

To give him a benefit of the doubt, let's see how far he can go with his resolve to use natural gas to power Imo State and its neighbouring states.

But he values quality over quantity.

Christians are now an endangered species in Northern Nigeria.

Revealpanda:
Who is he?

He claims he's popular 🤯

He is one of the pioneer Nairaland Super moderators with our beloved Aisha.

Whatever victory Israel gets, it would have come at great cost.

Israel probably thought it would be over in 90 days but Hamas has fought hard and given their enemies a bloody nose.

Israel can't wipe out Hamas. As someone said, it is an idea. The best that can be done is to neutralize them.

What rubbish are you spewing? Did Israel start the war or did you hear Israel crying up and down demanding a ceasefire?

Are you okay? Hamas is a resistance fighter and IDF is an anti-annihilation fighter. IDF has more resolve than Arab Armies.
