Igboid:
Ndoni ethnic nationality. He is not Igbo.

Pazienza just calm down! This position/posture you are adopting makes no sense. When a child behaves like a child, the adults in the room should behave like adults.
I have always look up to you as a potential leader of the Igboid race. Don't because of few individuals and turn your back on a project I know you have a sincere passion for. Your moniker says it all!

IGBOID!!!

Simbrixton:
where is odili from

Dr. Peter. O. Odili is from Ndoni! He's igboid but not Ikwerre.

Eastlink:
The Ikwerre man is always cunning. I think it's high time you're put in your place. You should begin to fight your battles alone and leave other uplanders out of your stupidity. You guys are the most greedy set of people when it comes to politics. You're no different from the north.

Many of us have realized that the Ikwerre's are far more evil than the Ijaws who dominated old Rivers. Even doing worst than the accusations their fathers levelled against the south east during the abandon property saga. The creation of the state out of the eastern region truly exposed both the Ikwerre's and Kalabari's as the most greedy set of tribes in the Niger Delta. No other ethnic group matters. It's always about them.

I've come to understand that whenever Ikwerre's want to dominate Rivers politics they rally Igbo votes and when the Kalabari's want to outsmart the Ikwerre's they rally the riverine voting bloc. While the Kalabari's chant the Ijaw mantra as a rallying point to gather every tribe in the riverine, the Ikwerre's on the other hand use a kind of sentiments to win the upland votes. Yet they don't give credit to Ndigbo.

It is only when election approaches that the Ikwerre remembers the upland voting bloc. But when election is over, they'll begin to rant their 'Ikwerres are majority' trash. No other ethnic group counts in the upland. I think it's time our people receive sense and push these braggarts aside. Let them stand alone and let's see their emptiness for who they really are.

As a matter of fact without the votes of the Etche's, Onelga, Obigbo, Ekpeye, Ogoni's and other populous non indigenous Igbo population in P/H, the Ikwerre would have been beaten blue black by the riverine block.

I've also noticed that the Ikwerre are very smart in ethnic politics. Because they know the soft side of Ndigbo toward them, they play on this psychology by channelling the Igbo voting bloc to dominate Rivers politics.

The Ikwerre's just as the Ijaws of the past are same. Both are too greedy with power.
Unlike the Ijaws whose land host a lot of oil wells, Ikwerre's on the other hand contribute a meagre percent of our oil revenue, yet they take a lion share of our political and economic commonwealth. I think it's time power shifts to Ogoniland or to the Ibani's. The Ikwerre's and the Kalabari's should go and sit down.

God bless you bro! As an uplander, the ikwerres are becoming too arrogant and its high time they should be kept in their place. Though with the experience we had in the hands of those riverine folks in the old Rivers state, I will never wish power to go to that block. The ikwerres ought to have unite all igboid speaking group in the state; but hell no, they are playing the useless ikwerre identity politics!! Well, we shall see. Its not too late for them to make a u-turn and get this right before it's too late.

TonyeBarcanista:
Threatening to remove a whole Amayanabo Of Kalabari kingdom like he is some "warrant chief". As in Ijaw land

Indeed power corrupts!

Who the gods want to kill they first make mad!


I hope he changes... 2023 no far

MODIFIED:
I see some misguided people making this a Ikwerre Vs Kalabari thing... This is Wike vs Ijaw (Kalabari, Okrika, Ibani, Abua Odua, Andoni etc).

I won't even drag Igbo into this because it is of no business to them and it will be HIGHLY unfair for me to do that.

However, Ijaw is ONE and either of the Ijaw Clans spread across 11 LGAs of Rivers state will produce the next Governor in 2023!

We go clear naysayers doubt!

Barcanista! Quote me in 2023; no ijoid person from Rivers state will rule us in that state. Even if power must move to riverine area, the power that be would choose someone within igboid blood!!
This is the beef I was talking about in the other thread, that some fools tried to turn into ikwerre vs igbo!
Ignorant folks everywhere.

IamMichaels:
By saying "Arrogant" do you mean knowing where you stand as an Ikwerre man or you mean the way your Ekpeye families were being chased by the same sons of Ekpeye land and you all ran to the "Arrogant" Ikwerre land for safety.. I think you guys are only being stewpid in cloudy arrogance and fuulish in your various judgements. ��

Stop quoting me dude and get off my mention!
I've got no time for nonsense! Next.

jimyjames:
in my right mind ikweres can't claim they are not igbos or related to igbos

Do you think it's only the Igbos that claim Ikwerre as igbos?? Wake up!! Other tribes in Rivers know they are core igbos!! The ikwerres are just trying to deceive the gullible ones!! Ask any grown up person you know from any other ethnic group in Rivers, he or she will tell you Ikwerres are Igbos!!! Do you know what Ateke, Asari etc,. all call them?
But that is not my business though! We are in alliance with them as we all fighting the same course in Rivers.
They should hand over to us (Ekpeye) that's my own take.

IkwerreSon:
Everybody na imposter for this dumb fool.


Just because I created an account yesterday makes me an imposter? Lol

Even if I created the account years back you will still call me imposter from your red mod kitchen. Lol

We know you Igbo people, it’s not new. You’re so frustrated and your leaders are adding to the frustration.

Since you claim Ikwerrre is Igbo why did you Igbo write to buhari to review abandoned properties after the Biafra war in Port harcourt? Oya mumu answer!!!!

Why did you Igbo fled Port harcourt during the Biafra war?

Did Abia people run away from Aba to Onitsha during the war?

Go and get a life bro. Joblessness is the cause of your backward reasoning.

I can swear you are one of those non indigenes who grew up in port Harcourt! You should be ashamed of yourself.
You and your cohort (impostors) shall be demystified in no time!!

IamMichaels:
I could bet you're not from ikwerre from the way you write but let me put it clear to you that Ikwerre has brothers in Ikwerre same way Igbo's has brothers in Igbo so stop writing that crap that Igbo is a big brother to Ikwerre.
Ikwerre as the governor clearly says is independent.
Please be guided.

See who is talking! Where did you see me mention that I am from Ikwerre?? Read and comprehend my write up! You guys are becoming arrogant these days. I am a proud Ekpeye man!!

Area4Area:
Upload the full video for all to see, at the function indeed. Next thing you'd tell us is that you're an Ikwerre, attaché by fire by force

Obviously your naughty self is new to nairaland!
God forbids I would ever claim who I am not. Why should I claim ikwerre? Wike is my inlaw bro! Just grow up!!
Your heart is filled with hate.

Area4Area:
Continue deceiving yourself, even a 10 year old child perfectly understands where he was driving at

Mu***mu! Who is deceiving who here?...lolz
Please endeavor to go watch the whole speech and not just the part that fit your useless and ugly narrative. I was in that function live and direct! Would tell you more about Rivers if your heavy head would want to learn! Go to bed son!!

Area4Area:
......but Wike was seen and heard telling his people to emphasize on their Ikwerreness, I know he was trying to be politically correct and that's why he didn't call names.

You outsiders will never understand the politics going on in Rivers state! He was referring to those who say its their turn to rule Rivers; won't mention names. He also made a political statement that implies that power will still remain in Igboid Rivers.
Useless OP, leave the Igbos out of this!
Igbos are our big brother and so shall it be forever.
Meka!!

wirinet:
So?
What they speak in Austria is German, does that mean they are Germans?
A people define who they are or who they want to be called, you can't force your own identity on a people, that's called colonialisation.

Please tell this forum the language spoken in Austria!
Make your comparison wisely bro!
All the listed tribes above are all of igboid origin.
Make no mistake about it!

Kinematics:
PH has never been and will never be an Ibo city/town. Let that stick into your skull.

Just shut the fu**ck up! Do us a favor and relocate to Bayelsa! Rivers state will never be an ijaw state. You guys (pseudo-Ijaws) are a minority in Rivers. You guys will never smell the brick house!!

MERCHANDISER:
Prevalence of Igbo language in Major Igbo cities/towns

Onitsha 95%

Aba 90%

Nnewi 88%

Umuahia 80%

Awka 75%

Abakeliki 70%

Enugu 68%

Asaba 60%

Owerri 55%

Portharcourt 35%

You should use incidence instead of prevalence!
Incidence has to do with recent occurence in a population while, prevalence is both the past and recent occurence.

nasoeb:
Try again. Igbos that are slave to us. It can never be told that the igbos can stand we the Ijaws. So now you know, think again who would have been chased to south western part of cameroun by now?.... the igbos.

You are intellectually ignorant and/or deficient!

nasoeb:
These igbos are so so disgusting, damn. They will soon come up to claim Bonny and opobo and andoni. It is never never good to open hands to these igbo people, cause the minute you welcome them in large numbers, their entitlement thinking comes in and they start claiming your land and cooking up history how one mazi discovered your land in 20bc then went back to get his red cap he forgot at aruchukwu then came back to meet your tribe have taken over the land.

Just thank God the igbos aren't expansionist, cos if they were, by now your people would have been speaking igbo or they would have chased them all out to Sao tome...reason why you riverine people will never smell the brick house......forget that we uplanders sometimes would say we aren't igbos, but you don't mess with our brothers and think we would let you go unpunished.....be cultured bro!

nasoeb:
These igbos are so disgusting. Their manners make me puke. I always try hard not to dislike them ( truth be told, they are the closest and most reliable of any ethnic group in Nigeria to we the Ijaws) but I just hate their quick tendency to claim people, land etc.
Because ikwerres have similar language to the igbos, the average igbo man will never in his life time imagine nor believe that igbos could have originated from the ikwerres but they will forever believe that ikwerres originated from igbos. This is because of their "entitlement believe"

Very soon and in no distant future you will regret this statement of yours, I just pray it will not be too late for you then! Rivers state has Igbos and Igboid groups as indigenes of the state. You called obigbo irrelevant but praise your useless bonny that will soon disappear due to high sea levels as relevant....I wonder how someone from bonny could be this igbophobic? This is nairaland though where yorubas claim Rivers state.....peace

MelesZenawi:
Is absolutely light. You can't just wake up and say u not yoruba..

You speak, u dress, culturally infact every every u like them...even raybaba as moniker...and you decide to come up with this.

I don't agree or try to enforce Ignorance.


Ondo is a Yoruba state and you are a Yoruba man.

You are nothing but a hypocrite! The same you would encourage the Ikas, ikwerres, ekpeyes, Ndokwas etc to deny their igbo brothers, with whom they share virtually everything with. From language, food and culture..you guys are nothing but the devil.
But you can only deceive the gullibles and not me!

bigfrancis21:
Daalu. I have a question.

Can a native ekpeye person born and raised in ekpeye land who has never left ekpeye land all their life understand central igbo when they first hear it?

I just want to understand how closely related or diverse the ekpeye dialect is.

Thanks for this question!
The more you move towards the interior part the harder it becomes to see an ekpeye person who can understand/interact with you fluently in igbo. But when you go to some of our communities at the edge of ekpeye land e.g those close to ogbaland, emuoha(ikwerre) or along the great orashi river then your chances are high....when you listen to the language with great patience and attentiveness, you would realize we have a lot in common with the larger igbo community! We have so many clans in ekpeye land that are very proud of their igboid root, and my humble self is one of them.
Kind regards.

A welcome development by Gov. Okowa! Patiently waiting for wike to institute the same in Igboid Rivers. God bless Umu Igbo worldwide. Proudly Nwa Ekpeye.

oyatz:
About 2hrs ago,i just discussed the same issue with a very handsome young man named Ebuka Olise(very sorry to disclose your name if you are reading this) from Oshimili LGA and he said ,even HE is not an Igboman!

The Elder Stateman, Philips Asiodu at the peak of the IPOB crisis berated Nnamdi Kanu for including Asaba in his Biafra and he said on AIT that he is not Igbo.

I you read the interview very well, you will see that the Priest-monarch also alluded to the diversity of their origin.

So there are indeed, several families from all these LGAs that reject the Igbo identity.
They can chose to call themselves whatever they like.

HV you ever seen where a minority tribe dominates and dictates to the Majority within the same clime? The truth is there are other groups In anioma but they r all in the minority!
They can only have their say and n not their way!

Guide777:
At a time they are not part of any ethnic group in Nigeria . Like wolves in sheep apparel , They sneaked in with their herd and started planning , and unsuspecting indigenous people of Gobir welcome them . When they saw the clearages , and the division among the indigenes they cashed in with their religion to exerbate it . Religion is the opium of the masses., and masses of the Gobir high on the opium , innocently entered the invaders trap. Before they realized it, the Kings head has been cut by their sword and its place the emir emerged.
Today, Ruga is another bait. The seeds of a hundred Emirates will soon be sowed south of Nigeria by the same marauding invaders.

Very correct bro! The main reason why they stopped teaching history in our schools. I tell people that these folks didn't stop history because of biafra war! They did because of their fear that the hausas would revolt if they get to know how thousands of their forefathers were slaughtered on the alter of jihad and their kings killed and replaced by useless emirs and how their great grandmother's were raped by those terrorist masquerading like religious teachers.
You wonder why they don't want Hausa kids to go to school! Your guess Is right; to continue their subjugation of the hausas.

The great aminu kano played his part but wasn't enough.

Tomide007:
Don't mind that miyetti Allah idiot.... Only 2 states in Nigeria is controlled almost 100% by the Fulani and that is zamfara and Katsina, so it's mostly Fulani killing Fulani in zamfara. And by the way it's only Fulani that is fighting everytribe in Nigeria. Fulani Vs Hausa, Fulani Vs igbo, Fulani Vs Yoruba Fulani Vs barom even Fulani Vs fulani.....that tribe needs to be given dere own country. We shouldn't be living with idiots like that.

I beg to differ/disagree! Zamfara state is the only state with over 97% HAUSA population. From 1999 till date has been the only north west state ruled by the Hausas back to back. My GF is from there and I have visited there too.

The fulanis are looking for trouble, cos soon, the sleeping giant (the hausas) will wake up and chase them out of their land finally.
All the fulfude speakers want is to dominate, conquer, steal, terrorize and destroy. To make the matter worse, most of these fulani folks causing all these mayhem are not Nigerians, but mostly from Mali, Burkina Faso, guinea and CAR!

BiggyB242:
How much is level 12 salary, if I may ask.

Plus or minus, 238k - 256k!

BiggyB242:
I have a a guy who studied vet medicine omon the guy is struggling.

I have a friend also who studied MBBS and was earning a mere 40k a month before leaving the country last year! Struggling is not the point of discussion here but his profession's level in the civil service bro.

In the Nigerian civil service, the top guys are as follows:

DVM (Doctor of Veterinary medicine) = Level 12 (6 years in school)
MBBS (Bachelor of medicine and surgery) = Level 12 (6 years in school)
BDS/Dentistry (Bachelor of dental surgery) = Level 12 (6years in school)

These are the big boys in the civil service.

Those into criminality wether in south africa ; America or UK or wherever should out thier dtums are grtting löuder by zhe day using the name Nigeria to perpetuate criminslity is not accrpted thosr inzo drugs running and robbery in south aftica are the IBO's and thrx are fully aware .

You are obviously mad! Go home and seek redemption.
Alas, don't also forget to take your drugs (any antipsychotic medication would do).

Thank me later!!

YungMillionaire:
Of course not. The topic is about Igbos. Hence my submission. Every tribe has their own fault. I have criticized Yorubas for complacency in the past. Hausas for group think etc. But when it comes to an inability to conduct themselves wisely in social spaces, this is, in my opinion, Igbos biggest flaw.

You are very correct bro! God bless you and your honest submission!! I will hope the very wise one would take note.

Dbanj my favourite musician that year,the kokomaster,if you drink kokowater you will know what I mean

Ski Banj, is that you?

I can't just understand how these folks would wake up and say they are different from the Igbo's on the mainland! Kai! Just imagine what Nigeria has done to the Igbo race! Proudly nwa ekpeye!!

We need to teach this guy sense. Let's go and report that his comment. If we get like 10k report they will suspend his Instagram account.
