Asari please press their muuumu button again and become another saviour for them.

But Asari was your hero when he was insulting igbos calling them their slaves not knowing you were the igbo slaves he was talking to , ikwerres are the igbos ijaws captured into slavery just like jaja of opobo and his people

My Brother Mrfeel, I respect your opinion but the way you see it isn't the reality that was. Ojukwu and other Igbos should have done the same thing some Ogonis did if presented with the situation Saro-Wiwa and others faced. Don't forget that Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe didn't support Biafra as well like many Igbos in government, politics then, and like the Biafran experience now with most Igbo politicians. Sadly, Ogonis were made the scapegoat. Don't forget that Ogonis were also part of Biafra, for example, the Biafran Ambassador to Britain was Ogoni, Chief S.I. Kogbara. The late Dr. G.B. Leton, an Ogoni was the analytical chemist behind the Ogbunigwe killer machine. Did you know that? Frankly, Ogonis weren't against Igbos or Biafra after all they intermarried and do to date. Ogonis who went the other way were simply protecting their interest given their experience at the hands of Igbo administrators under the Eastern government. But, had Ojukwu and his team respected Ogoni and properly consulted the ethnic nationality and not mainly focused on power and the Ogoni oil as means to his end, the story may have been different. Much of the Ijaws and Ibibios, others in the Easten region were also not consulted. Fearing the unknown they all reached out to the federal government for a possible state creation which was already presented to Ojukwu and his government and was turned down. Gen. Yakubu Gown took advantage and made it a smart strategy to divide the Eastern region as the civil war loomed. This means selfishness and disrespect for the so-called minorities and greed for their oil cost Biafra its intended sedition or country.

1) you claim , Ogonis who went the other way were simply protecting their interest given their experience at the hands of Igbo administrators under the Eastern government, what experience? Tell me what they experience that is worse than their experience with the Federal government?


2) you claim ojukwu and his team were mainly focused on power and the Ogoni oil as means to his end,

Why will you say this , omitting the true facts of things that led to the creation of biafra and the steps ojukwu took previously to prevent that from happening, plus the fact that ojukwu was mandated to declare biafra by the advisory committee of elders not just of igbo ethnicity but from the minority groups in eastern region giving him the go-ahead to declare biafra, nnamdi Azikiwe whom you claim was not in support of biafra was in that meeting and gave his full support, majority of the people who were against biafra, were in support of biafra initially,they only changed allegiance later in the war when they realized biafra was losing the war

And their was no time the minorities in the eastern Nigeria presented a bill for state creation to ojukwu and he turned down , when ojukwu became military governor of the eastern region , one of the first proposal of the consultative assembly was the abolition of the British drawn 29 division of the eastern region to be replaced with 20 province caved along tribal and linguistic lines which ojukwu agreed to , the bill was sponsored by Mr okio arikpo who is from a very small minority in present day Cross river ( ugep Yakurr ) and the provinces were to have a wide degree of autonomy under a civil government so if a small tribe as yakurr was represented why would you think Ogonis were not?

Ken Saro-Wiwa. And co made igbos their enemies,they joined the north to fight the igbos thinking the igbos were there problem, what is their gain in all the wars the fought against the igbos?

Which of the God are you talking about,God of the Arabs or God of the Israelites? Cause God of the Israelites commanded Israelites to do worst things to nations who fought against them

Tranquill:
God bless you for this. Let Igbo people continue foooling themselves all over the place by fabricating stories and making false claims online.

Continue consoling yourselves, ikwerre can never get rid of the igbo origin, the burden remains on you identity crisis lot forever, besides that the ikwerre dialect is even dying majority of ikwerres can't even speak the dialect, ikwerre dialect might die completely in 50 yrs to come , wike himself can't speak the ikwerre dialect

Naija women, you see yourselves. A man came into your territory, dominating you and you're getting jealous of him living the lifestyle you wish you had and the men you wish you had. Can any lady come into men's territory and do what Bob is doing?, I challenge any naija woman.
Naija women, you think you're wise?, you see a committed or married man yet you want to hook him by all means. Don't come for me, face Bob, he is not only your mummy of Lagos, he is also your godmother.


-Kiss the truth!

First of all bob is a man not a woman and those who have sex with him have sex with him as a man f*cking another man, so bob is not in a womans territory he is in a gay territory having sex with bisexual men

Tranquill:
It’s simply because they are allergic to diversity, decency and respect for others so, they’d rather become repulsive irritants than face reality.

And ikwerre can never get rid of the reality fact that they are just a subgroup of the igbos, they can deny igbo all they want for political reason but at the end of it all everyone knows they are igbos, that fact will never change even if they go to war about it

Can we see the evidence?

Jagaban2012:
Do not isolate my comment. It is also known as deception in disguise.I made a plethora of comments, and you isolated only one that suited you and deceptively used it as your defense. Do your comments rhyme with what you are responding to?
Young man, you are not only deceitful, but also a coward and naive.

Lol everyone knows yoruba's as deceptive cowards who laughs and smile and even prostrate to greet people but plot against them immediately they turn their back

Everyone knows igbos have pride, they are arrogant, and naturally rebellious with a spirit of dominance, igbos don't pretend to love like the yoruba's

And yes if the igbos support the north it's strictly political business not for love and this is public knowledge , the north knows this, same thing can't be said about yoruba's

Jagaban2012:
Why can not Ibo people tell Babangida and Abacha that they despise them and their people? The same Ibo people who worked religiously with Abacha, Atiku, and Babangida, who are all Fulani people, later come back to tell Buhari, who is also a Fulani man, that he is a cow and abused all Fulani people during the previous regime....The hatred on all Fulani. People during Buhari government can be felt ....and by extension the hatred robbed on Yoruba people

Ibo people are the most deceptive people...go to Twitter and see what your people wrote about the Fulani people and then come back here to debate instead of all these blind arguments... when things are going well for your people, they will call the Fulani/Hausa people their messiah, but when they are not in power, they call the same people all sorts of horrible names....

If this is not deception, please tell me what it is.

I'm glad you said the igbos are bold enough to look the Fulanis in the eyes and call them cows and all sort of names, yoruba's will rather pretend and prostate for Fulani all the time without telling them they don't like them

ppogba:
It is always amazing when you see barely literate people who are bereft of the history of the past trying to regurgitate the lies they were fed with .

You want to bring the civil war history up this morning?

Either of two things: Go open your Oga shop or get the phone close to your father to teach you.

Lol, when the truth hits hard

Bandirao:
B every one in the north speak Hausa

Not everyone in the north speak Hausa, they might speak Hausa in the towns but when you go deep into the villages of these minority groups in the north they speak their native languages

Jagaban2012:
However, the same Ojukwu who drew a battle line between the north and the east later campaigned for the northern presidential
candidate in the 1983 general election.
.
An average Ibo man is not only deceptive, but also untruthful in everything he does...

Ojukwu never drew a battle line, he only defended his people when the rest of Nigeria took the battle to him in the east , the entire Nigeria not just the north


Igbos can be deceptive in other areas but when it comes to hate or love, an igbo person doesn't pretend, and igbo man will look you in the eye and tell you he hates you

A yoruba man will prostrate to greet his enemy with a smile but plot against him behind his back

gawu1:
The people of the ipobpigians region will not put in their request for their unpalatable-to-listen-to language to be adopted in that their unproductive erosion-ravaged enclave, they would instead start insulting northerners for this legitimate and noble demand.

As if everyone in the north is Hausa?

A yoruba person can not be trusted with things like this,he might be there just to gather information about Peter obi's plans for 2027 , don't be surprised he is working for APC , awolowo did similar thing to ojukwu when he visited ojukwu in Enugu with South West delegates just to gather information for Gowon

Yes because we are busy chasing money

This is the mentality that have caused us issues. You and I know that at the level between us that Igbos are quite different from Ikwerres but you decided to hold on to what those who do not know about us wrote. From outside it looks like we are the same people. No doubt. But when you get closer you observe a very wide distinction. Our values, our customs, tradition and language varies. You don't understand Ikwerre. I understand Igbo because I hear them speak everyday. Ikwerre is classified as igboid for ease of study by linguistics. Usually the more populated tribe is used to classify others with similar identity. Do you know that Igbo language is classified as Benue -Congo? Are they from Congo or Benue?
We are no fools and can't give up our identity for yours. If you think we look similar then you are Ikwerre.

Every educated ikwerre person who is true to himself knows ikwerre is culturally, linguistically related to igbos just like the many other igbo subgroups all over igboland with different igbo dialects , majority of ikwerre can't even speak the ikwerre dialect rather they speak the central igbo, the ikwerre igbo dialect is dying gradually

Igbo is classified under Niger-Congo, and ikwerre is an igbiod dialect ,

Kreesxxx:
We prefer Benin slave to Igbo identity. This is to tell you the height of Igbos dislike. It is not just me. It is the sentiment I see in our gathering.

What you prefer and whatever sentiment you have can't change history, even if you go to war against igbos about this it won't still change the fact that ikwerre is a subgroup of igbos, the name igbo will always be mentioned in ikwerre history, even the oba of Benin mentioned it in his book

Kreesxxx:
Bros you can't change history. All smaller tribes around you people preyed on your tribes for slaves. The Ijaws, Itsekiri et al know the slave tribe. You people should restrict to yourself. Don't rub it on us. The Isoma we call you means good slaves. This is the particular reason no ideal Ikwerre man will accept to be Igbo. This may be shifted when this orientation changes. However present day Ikwerre mentality has it that associating with you people is debasing his identity. You people tried it before the war it didn't work. That was why your forebears were out to exterminate the Ikwerres race during the war. It didn't work when you guys had all the power in eastern Nigeria it won't work now that power has been decimated. Stay your own. Let me stay on my own. What is wrong in this?

I'm glad you know history can't be changed no matter how much you twist and turn it history will still call ikwerre a subgroup of igbos there is no history that separate ikwerres from the igbos

And as long as slavery is concerned you are benin slaves and you ran away from your master the oba of Benin, the oba of Benin had no power over igbos in the hinterland

Kreesxxx:
But you came all the way from Israel. OSU people with no identity try to annex a people with known identity. Make una no stay una own.

But you are our OSU, captured into slavery by Benin, then rebelled against your master , we were never under any King we were never slaves to no one, ikwerre story with Benin is worse than that of king jaja of opobo who was captured in the igbo hinterland and sold to the ijaws he later became a king in ijaw land but akalaka ran away from his master he was never a king or was he friends with the Benin royal family he was a slave

Kreesxxx:
Ikwerres view your whole lots as slaves. That is why they call you all Isoma.

No you view yourselves as slaves that's why you start your history by akalaka running away from oba of Benin, we in the hinterland have no such history of running away from any King

Kreesxxx:
Lol. What we have been laughing at Livingstone Wechie Facebook page since yesterday. Livingstone Wechie doesn't even know where the secretariat of Ogbakor Ikwerre is. The secretariat is not in Alakahia. Secondly have you observed that the letter doesn't have date? Livingstone Wechie was in a rush and made a foolery of himself.
Bros the issues of Ikwerre not associating with Igbos is beyond argument. It is something of culture. A typical Ikwerre man views you people with disdain. Anyone who doesn't know culture in Ikwerre land is called an Igbo person. Aside that there is this slavery identity they fear with identifying with you people.

Lol I'm glad you said it's something of culture and everything about ikwerre culture points to igbo not Benin, so yes ikwerres have no argument. And most ikwerres don't even know their culture and can't speak the ikwerre igbo dialect,the dialect is dying ,they have replaced it with pidgin English, any true ikwerre who knows his culture knows the culture is of igbo origin


And concerning slavery, it's public knowledge that majority of western igbos which ikwerres are one of them were under the Benin kingdom as slaves captured into slavery from the igbo hinterland, thats why your history starts with akalaka running away from the oba of Benin, it simply means he was there as a slave and later rebelled against his master , igbos in the hinterland were never slaves to anyone,they paid homage to no one, the bowed to no king , but all western igbos did to the oba of Benin , you are the one with slave identity not us

Olu1000:
We will see how easy when the case gets to court.

As long as the law is applied rightfully without corruption it will be an easy case both in Nigeria and anywhere in the world

Olu1000:
How will his good lawyer explain the fact that he threw the murder weapon away and hid in the ceiling after committing the offence? The fact that EFCC broke forcefully into his house does not give him the right to shoot at law enforcement agents especially after they identified themselves as EFCC officials.You can’t dictate to EFCC when and how they will operate

Him hiding in the ceiling or throwing the gun away doesn't make him guilty cause he was acting in self defense, thinking those who broke into his home were kidnappers pretending to be law enforcement officers, kidnappers do wear police uniforms or military uniforms to commit crime

This is an easy case to win

kreesxxx
Benin runaway slaves ambassador what do you have to say regarding the fake news you posted the other day

Melagros:
COMRADES, these fraudsters are bold, how can you shot and kill an EFCC official and go scot free?

With a good lawyer he will win the case Easley, why would EFCC forcefully break into someones home knowing fully well the person don't believe they are EFCC but kidnappers, in a state were kidnapping happens frequently?

ArcFresky:
It’s the tragedy of Nigeria.
Illegality upon illegality.

EFCC raid a suspect, like thieves in the night, with no safety gear, no warrant.

Suspect shoots without thinking, with an illegal gun.

Operative gets rushed to hospital, no doctor. A whole govt hospital, 0 doctors and 2 nurses?

The gun legally owned by his father
