[size=15pt] I am a Niger Deltan from Akwa Ibom state

and Seun has really goofed.

Nigerian Government arrested Nnamdi Kanu and the riots escalated

the fool has decided to limit freedom of speech

after he would start quoting Mark Zuckerberg..

this country is mean if you are not Yoruba or Hausa..[/size]

TheWisest:
Seun your action of taking a stand on the Biafra issue is a good one. My only criticism about it is HOW you went about doing it. Did you say NAIRALAND Says? Seun, you are not Nairaland. You never were and you never will be. You are Oluwaseun Osewa, the Founder of Nairaland. Nigerians ARE Nairaland and Nairaland is a public tool for free speech.

The way you went about airing your personal views is not ethical at all. I have my own opinions on the Biafra matter but I'd never use a public property I founded to enforce my opinion. Infact you even went on to do worse: you prohibit people from airing their personal views?

Right now, Ibos don't see you as Nairaland Founder but as Yoruba being against Ibos. Can't you see this will create more problems?

Now as a corporate person myself, did you consult your company's board on what consequences this action would imbibe? Would it force formerly neutral people to take the side of the underdog, in this case Ibos whose voices you've stapled close?

As a company Seun, Nairaland's action today isn't an act of best practices as far as public forums are concerned. I drop my pen here.

paramakina202:

paramakina202:
You should know attires are made for different purposes and occasions so stay out of what you know nothing about.
Akpabio is Ibibioman I am not ignorant as you.

IykeChukz:
Two important personalities PMB needs in his Govt for Nigeria to progress irrespective of political affiliation are NOI and GEJ only if pride will let him.





Only wise folks will read meanings to what I say.



There are rooms for ready to whine folks too...

paramakina202:
Are we discussing Biafra here?
You attack anything to do with Igbo/Biafra
And Igbo interest in general and always on the side of those Igbo consider as not friendly.
So my friend,when it walks like a duck act like a duck and sit like a duck then it must be a duck.that's common sense.

DerideGull:
Who gives a ratass if you are anti naijapips02? I seen people in your class of humans protest against themselves. I guess will not commit suicide because of Biafra.

You choose to be anti Igbo?
Stop claiming to be Igbo period.

paramakina202:
What Akpabio is wearing as Ibibioman is his native attire which they share with people of Abia state and Imo.

paramakina202:
Amaechi did not contest for any office in last election.

paramakina202:
You claim to be Igbo but everything about you is anti Igbo and always on the wrong side of the argument.

Ikwerre people
The Ikwerre (also spelt Ikwere) are one of the many native ethnic groups in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. They are a subgroup of the Igbo people,[1][2][3] although a small minority for political expediency now dispute this account, claiming their history was rewritten during the colonial period because of the dominance of the larger Igbo group. The Ikwerre are said to be related or share common ancestry with the Ogba and Ekpeye people (Akalaka brothers).[citation needed] They trace their origins to Owerri, Ohaji, Etche, and Ngwa areas of Igboland. They constitute the majority of Rivers state, although there are other populations in neighboring states. The Ikwerre speak the Ikwerre dialect, a dialect part of the many diverse Igbo dialects,[4] and are predominantly settled in the Ikwerre, Obio-Akpor, Port Harcourt and Emohua local government areas. They are traditionally farmers, fishermen and hunters, but in recent times, the environmental degradation and urban sprawl associated with oil exploration and exploitation has caused a sharp decline in the amount of farmland, forests and rivers available for their traditional occupations.[citation needed]

The Ikwerre exist in well-delineated clans, with each clan having its own Paramount Ruler, therefore, the Ikwerre do not have an overall paramount ruler or King, but designated kings/ruler/leader mostly approved by its constituents. Although all paramount rulers in ikwerre are united in what is known as Ogbakor Ikwerre which is an association of Ikwerre traditional rulers.[citation needed] A total of 92 oil wells, producing an estimated 100,000 barrels of crude daily, are located in Ikwerreland. The Ikwerre therefore play host to several multinational oil-producing and servicing companies, in addition to many other industries and establishments.[citation needed] Despite these, the Ikwerre, like nearly all other minorities of the Niger Delta, frequently complain of marginalisation by the oil operatives. The University of Port Harcourt, the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, the three campuses of the Rivers State College of Education, as well as the Rivers State College of Arts and Science, are all sited on Ikwerreland.[citation needed]
