Just take good look at the comment section.... All you'll see is hatred and bitterness for a whole region because of the kidnapping in a village in Zamfara.
Out of 19 Northern state... We are facing security challenges in 3 northern states and That happens to be villages.
But because of the love and unity in the north... We share the pains of these states protesting and demanding for a secured north.
But bigots online and offline would come to tell us how the whole northern states has been terrorized.
Once there is kidnapping in any village in Zamfara.
They will come online to tell how there is kidnapping in the north... They will never mention zamfara.
They will never tell you people were kidnapped in a village in Zamfara or Kastina rather they would say north.
They're doing all this to send a signal that the whole of Northern states are unsafe.
Gombe is one of the safest state in Nigeria.
Bauchi is safe!!
Kano is safe!!
Adamawa is safe!!
Yobe is safe!!
Jigawa is safe!!
Kebbi is safe!!
Taraba is safe!!
And other northern states that hardly record case of robbery in a year.
The north is a region with 16 core northern states.
But children of hate would come online to tell the world how unsafe the whole northern region is.
The way you bigots always scream north up and down makes me believe that majority of u think that north is a state not a region.
You guys should stop all this senseless stereotypes!
My state kano is more developed and peaceful than the entire Eastern states put together.
Yobe and Adamawa safe?? You are obviously insane! Please relocate to northern Yobe and western Adamawa. You are nothing but a hypocrite. Only Abuja is safe in the north ATM.
Nigeria has failed us all!! Her brilliant minds are plotting for an escape. Where did we go wrong?? God have mercy. If you have the means, please leave asap.
LegendHero: If you understand Yoruba, I would have recite ewi Asegbe for you.
Everything the West did during the Biafran war is Asegbe, and there is nothing you all can do about it.
Just accept your fate and see that as part of your history and move on.
Remember, your ancestors carefully masterminded a lot of wrong leading into 1967 and the Karma reared its head on their offsprings.
Actions beget consequences, so think before taking decisions.
Lastly, you condemn Nigeria for massacre, have you forgotten you Igbos also massacred some of the SS’ner tribes?
Oloriburuku ni bobo yi sha! The Igbos lost over 3 million of their people to the genocidal useless pigs called the Nigerian army and you are here defending the role played by your own tribe in that atrocity! A black man is the most useless creature on the face of the planet. Fvck you Omo Ale!!
Mylove55: that electoral college is the aspect US is democratically behind other nation.
how can someone win popular vote and a loser will be elected.
if not, what will make pig trump to be elected president
You are ignorant! US is not a democracy it is a constitutional republic. People like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and the extreme leftists are the exact reason the founding fathers chose the EC instead of the popular vote. If not, the Democrats would rule US till eternity and people in places like Alaska and Wyoming would be ignored and forgotten cos only New York, California and Florida can decide the election outcome. GTB dear. Trump 2020 #KAG
Coldie: Theres no such thing as ndoki ndoni. Ndoki and ndoni have no relationship in anyway
Ignore the yeye Benin OP! He claims he's from Rivers and he seems not to know the difference between the two! Shame!! You are nothing but a hopeless impostor. You can never be from Rivers state.
An average African has got no respect whatsoever for history and anthropology! They can even sell their history for a pot of porridge. How can you justify a tribe like Isoko that's obviously Urhobo claiming they no longer identify as such? No wonder Africa has got numerous languages with nothing to show for it other than resentment and wars. If the yorubas were to be in Igbo's position as it were (lost a war), by now, the Ijebus, Egbas and Ijesha/Ekiti would all be claiming different ethnic nationalities just to get along. When you support this tiny groups propping up as different ethnic nationalities just because it helps to weaken your supposed enemy remember same can happen to yours too. Call a spade a spade!
IkwerrePikin: So you igbo migrants know Ikwerre history more than Ikwerre people and the great Oba of Benin?? Lol
Your mumu never do??
All this Igbo people na inferiority complex dey worry una.
Spilling trash! Now you can create another topic, nothing will change.
Go and ask your igbo parents why Ikwerre people call you igbo “Isoma” meaning laborers/slaves up till date??
This Ile Ibinu guy again? What amarabae stated above is nothing but the whole truth! We in Rivers know this too well. I have my own personal grudge against the useless Aro guys, those guys did irreparable damage to the Igbo nation. Even in my own land and community, their wicked footprints are everywhere.
IkwerrePikin: Igbo man the rate at which you igbos admire and wish Port harcourt is igbo land is so alarming!
This is not the first time the Oba is saying this, you igbos are so pained. You claim Ikwerre is nothing, but you’re all over Port harcourt, and fighting hard to change Ikwerre history to Igbo.
Oboy it can’t work, let an igbo traditional ruler come out to say Ikwerre are igbos and watch the outcome starting from Port harcourt.
I dey laugh una!
From your ranting I can deduce that you are not from Rivers state! You are just another edopiking from ile Ibinu!! May God help you in your journey to confuse those who want to be confused. Goodluck.
Jajaslim: Wow this is great! Our leaders should insure it is built, history is very important.
Below is the picture of the “Oba of Ogba land” (HRM Nnam Chukwumela Obi ) in Rivers state.
We Ikwerre people love our Benin brothers and sisters, we are proud of our origin. One love!
We bear similar igbo names because of igbo dominance In our land over the years even before Nigeria was created. We were taught igbo in schools but it all ended after Biafran war when igbos fled.
Just like hausa is been taught in the North when all northerners are not hausa. Even most ethnic groups in the North are not hausa but have hausa names!
Today, across the globe, it’s a known fact that, your name can not tell 100% where you come from.
Keep basking in the euphoria of fake news! We in Rivers state have different migration history. So be careful when you pass a blanket analysis on the entire people. Ask yourself if all the tribes that once lived in the old Benin kingdom (if at all there was any kingdom in the first place) had a Benin ancestry? We are Africans are a lazy bunch! Oral history is not always correct, as anyone can fabricate and distort it. I am from Rivers state and my history has got nothing to do with Benin!
IkwerrePikin: If you think Wike will prevent Amaechi from winning Rivers state where Ikwerre is the majority then you don’t know we Ikwerre people in that aspect. Amaechi will gladly win all the South South states while the governorship of those states would remain in Pdp. We in South South are not foolish to disown our own, even Jonathan will support Amaechi! Politics is a game but you igbos take it too personal like it’s a tribal war.
Nobody is fighting anybody ethnicity here. We have told you Igbos we Ikwerre people are originally from the Great Benin Kingdom the Oba have acknowledged that in his visit to Port Harcourt.
If Rotimi Amaechi comes out to say he is Igbo, Yoruba or anything he likes, it doesn’t change who we ikwerre are, we can not trade our unique identity with Amaechi’s political ambition, we are not foolish and every ikwerre sons and daughters knows we are not igbos and will never be.
You igbos who have been shouting Ikwerre is Igbo on different platform, writing different books, editing Wikipedia and writing Ikwerre as igbo, you people should welcome Amaechi your son because he has declared he is igbo in several occasions. Will you now throw him away? If yo reject him as not being igbo i hope you can burn all those igbo books claiming Ikwerres are igbos and warn your brothers to stop going around saying ikwerre is igbo.
And let me tell you, if Rotimi Amaechi happens to get the ticket of Apc in 2023 presidential election, you igbos will support him, forget this ranting online because you people will have no other option.
If you support Amaechi don’t be surprise that Rotimi Amaechi may bring back abandon property issue in Port Harcourt and make sure the igbos who own them get their properties back because Rotimi Amaechi is a simple and honest man, he can also create good relationship with the Ikwerre ethnic group and the Igbo ethnic group with each other respecting it’s unique identity.
You sound like a broken record at best! Go and sit down Mr man cos you ain't from Rivers state! If Amaechi picks the APC ticket he should run on a south south platform and seek the south east support and not claiming he's Igbo! Though we all know Ikwerres are Igbo at night and anti igbo by the day. Here in Rivers state everyboy knows that the Ikwerres are Igbo run away!
chrisxxx: He will not. He may claim Ibo if it is convenient for him. Let me tell you why. In the late 17, 18, 19 and even up to later part of 20 century, Ikwerre land had a lot of Aro priests and Aro people living with us. They had so much influence, just as the Fulani had and still have in Hausa land. Cases were settled in their shrines. Then came the civil war. Many of them who could trace their roots to Ibo land ran back. Those who could not stayed behind and we still know them, they could be found mostly in Ikwerre LGA and Emuoha LGA. Although they have mixed with us there is still some resentment about their offspring. They are still segregated in some certain things. I personally dont support this. Amaechi could claim a descendant of the Aro vestiges in Ikwerre land. If he does that he is an Ibo person through his grand parents.
So are you now telling us that there are indigenous Igbos in your midst? I would be Frank with you here! Everyone in Rivers state knows that you guys (Ikwerres) are Igbos. For whatsoever reasons, I believe that you guys pushed your narratives way too far and now may have to deal with the consequences. Even in Ekpeye land, we also have this arguments all the time but you won't see us castigating the Igbos whom we share similarities in names, language and culture with. Some part of Ekpeye land are more igbophobic than others but yet you won't see us openly fighting them. Let's be wise abeg. That you guys are in government today in our state is mainly because of the Igbos and no one else. I strongly believe we should always act as a unit instead of pretending to be enemies when we are obviously not.
JAMO84: Igbo was Chief of army staff for six years, remember Azubuike Ihejirika? He and Dr Clueless were Boko haram's baby sitters.
6 years? Never knew Ihejirika was COAS for that long! You are obviously one of those foreigners from Chad. But don't worry you will soon be on the run cos Nigeria was never your home and will never be your abode. Adaka!
seunmsg: Kudos to the president for this kind gesture. At least, Igbos can now let us rest on this forum. Those among them praying for the downfall of Adesina simply because he’s from the south west can now get preoccupied with praying for their Igbo daughter’s success.
I can also bet nobody will talk about nepotism on this thread. The fact that the president withdrew support from Yonov Agah, a Nigerian from the north central and now supports an Igbo lady should not go unnoticed. If it was the other way round, the fury of hell fire would be a child’s play to what they would bring down tonight. I wish her the best in the election.
You no get sense walahi! So it's a kind gesture to be nominated to represent your own country again? Fools plenty for nairaland I swear!! Mumuric ni e ooo!!!
The Igbos are giant when it comes to literature and storytelling! No tribe can contest that. From the legendary Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, Chimamanda Adichie etc...the list is infinito.
God bless you guys jare! You guys are a blessing to the black race. Ignore the haters.
No wonder the idiotic smelling slowpoke died in penury! Useless rag tagged criminal. Posterity will never forgive him and his unborn generation. When the time comes we shall hunt his offspring down to the very last one. Auck Fdekunle!!
MrEgghead: That doesn't mean MBBS and DVM holders earn the same as they are paid on different salary scale.... Before Doctors started from CONMESS 2 which was equivalent to GL 12 but now it's CONMESS 3...
DVM holders in federal service are paid on CONPSS and their entry level is CONPSS 12 which amounts to #1,227,172 per annum.
But the MBBS/BDS holders at entry level are paid on CONMESS 03 which amounts to #2,642,172, there's a huge difference.
Medical Doctors and Vets do not earn same amount as they are now paid on different structures. Don't let anyone deceive you, I have all the salary structures of federal public service with me.
You are totally ignorant of what you are saying! Please post it here and let's see it. Perhaps your own federal civil service is different from mine. Stop spreading lies oga!!
fk001: I stop reading when he said Governor of Yobe, Taraba and Borno are all fulani.
Cownu you are high on cow dung. Born state has nothing to do with Fulani.
Ishaku Darius governor of Taraba is a jukun man
Governor of Zamfara Matawale is a pure Hausa man
In fact, 90% of what you said above is no thing but pure lies from the pit of hell
You are right! Not all info he presented is right but he's got some point in them though and I doubt if that's Kanu. Dude is good with his facts he can't make those petty mistakes.
