Rest guy.I have lost same for just mentioning one lady here "Bere-mx" or so

It was so bad that at a point she told me jokingly that "maybe a mod put this on auto-ban". All these is just cause i tend to tag her to tribal threads being created by other Igbos and asking her to come caution them

The Igbo mod here isnt fair at all. Well, he's a reflection of how an average Igbo man reacts when in power

This bigoted statement here renders all the complaints you've made before void.

You can't be complaining about tribalism when you yourself are a tribalist.

gistray:

U can push back

There's nothing on earth you can say about Igbo people your brothers haven't said before.
They even called us 3rd class citizens.
Me personally will never forgive you people that statement

We can handle it.

Until seun totally eradicate tribalism from Nairaland....

They've even mocked the babies who starved to death in the Biafran War and justified those who were murdered in the pogrom of 1966.

raskymonojendor:
What further proof do you need that some Igbos tribalists are the ones promoting tribalism on this platform? Is it only when they start acting like the victim by the time we start pushing back that you will wake up and do something?

Seun Osewa. The thread below is a good example.

I will be posting this on your twitter account as well since that's where you spend most of your time.

You've posted two threads created by one person to prove that Igbo people are promoting tribalism here. Have you checked to see how many have been created by anti-Igbo tribalists in the last few days?

chrisxxx:

Just as Igbos are Jews despite scientific evidence that they do not have any blood ties with the Jews save for some cultural practices which can be imbibed or transferred.

This is a stupid example. Ikwerre people speak a dialect of Igbo, practice similar customs and hold similar titles. That is why you are being called Igbo.

Just change all of these and everyone will stop confusing you for Igbo people.

Funkyswagzz:


After this blind and cancerous arguement of yours I would like you to take time and read Henry Willink commission of 1957 and the minority question in eastern Nigeria.

Bro I will advise you right now to stop what you are doing and change course because when the time comes we will put you were you belong if you continue what you are doing.

The answer you are looking for is found in the pdf below. Read and learn stop this blind argument

Please stop trying to educate him. We do not care about this Ikwerre matter anymore — it's tiresome.

Let them jettison their names, customs and language and adopt something that's as far away from Igbo as possible.

chrisxxx:

Yorubas and Hausas cum Fulani saved the minorities of the south from the high handedness of the Igbos. We lost lives during the war but it was for our liberation. Wike renamed Liberation Stadium after Gowon who led this.

Please stop using our language, names and customs. Change it to something that's a far away from Igbo as possible.

OfoIgbo:


So you are boasting that Yorubas will have 12 years of presidency by 2027, because the same Yorubas undermined an Ijaw SS president from enjoying a second term.
And you want the SS to support your own ambitions. Take it from me that it will never happen.

BTW, Obi kicked Tinubu's ass in the 2023 election. So an Igbo man succeeded in spite of the anti-Igbo propaganda spearheaded by the Yorubas. The SE, SS and NC have to be thanked for the political gravity of Peter Obi. Tinubu will never get it.

Infact, Tinubu's rigging partners are now quarelling with his Ronu miscreants, so Tinubu's rigging plans will be harder to execute in 2027, incumbency or no incumbency.

Why do you even want Peter Obi to win the 2027 election? The Nigeria he would inherit by then would be a failed country. There's no saving it now.

Coldie:


I appreciate a man who on a very good day with all things being equal, is my friend. I won’t judge him for the judgements he made while a gun is pointed to his head. A man who was falsely accused for treason and who just came out of it.

1) Nobody forced him to connive that starvation policy.
2) If he had any regrets and had morals then he would have apologised after the war.

He was evil — plain and simple.

Coldie:

Sorry. I also lost relatives.


But we igbos need to build bridges, one way of doing this is in a world where people are hell bent on hating you, is to appreciate people for the little things they do for you.

So you'd appreciate a man who murdered your wife and children but didn't steal from your house?

Coldie:


One day am going to join ohaneze, if our people can listen to someone like me alot would change.


Our people owe awolowo an apology. Where we are wrong on awolowo. This is the reason I don’t go all out and prefer to block Yoruba ronu people than start insulting Yoruba tribe, every era every generation an awolowo and an akintola is born, if because of an akintola u start attacking every Yorubas u would stop future awolowos from being born. To me the best way to solve Yoruba ronu issue, is with love not by hate, ignore the Yoruba ronus and shower love to the true ones for the love they show to others. Allow the hateful ones to wallow in hate.


Before I digress: y I think Igbos owe obafemi awolowo an apology:

Back then information was limited, and deep thinkers were few who think things through.

Awolowo was sent to prison and charged with treason becaue he tried to form a southern alliance which we were part of. To me this is the first apology we owe him.

Second one: people say awolowo was responsible for the starvation policy, a war without starvation policy lasted over a year we were in misery and dieing a slower death and a war that starvation policy ended sooner.

Thirdly if it was left to some people after the civil war ended it’s go fvck urself, but awolowo made sure we were given some money to stand on our feet after the war ended, sth that was eventually known as the 20pounds saga. People say 20pounds and people just think 20pounds in 20 pounds, but what actually was the value of 20pounds back in 1970. That apart I beleive sth bigger was proposed but they ended up in 20pounds.

One last thing: the fact that when igbos returned to the west, their properties and assets were preserved and returned to them.


This made me have far much more respect for him.



Chief Obafemi Awolowo, if any of ur descendants are reading this just know igbos have ur respect. Some Igbos might have other views about him but I am a true igbo man and I say this to you.

I commend you for the work you've done in this thread but your stance on Awolowo is completely wrong in my opinion. The starvation policy didn't let the war end quickly. It was a very slow and painful death for those who perished that way. Many were children. I know of a woman who lost six of her nine children in that time (the three who survived were the youngest — the older children were giving them what little food they had).

To ask people to say sorry to the man who masterminded that is absolutely horrific. He was evil — plain and simple — and if he had any morals whatsoever then he would have apologised to the Igbos for what he did.

AviatorMoney:

I'm a Rivers Man, I've not told u I'm Ikwerre.
Main while, who gave u b understanding that d language itself belongs to u?
Are u d creator of languages?
Abeg make Una leave my DEAR state ALONE. Shikina

Lmao . Wonders shall never cease!

You keep claiming that Igbo people are trying to force our identity on you but you won't let go of the things that actually tie you to us.

Igbo language, culture and traditions are just that — Igbo.

Please change them so that your transformation will be complete.

AviatorMoney:

Hahahaha 🤣🤣 kpele..... Who is really crying? If not u the so-called Igbos

You. You're crying because of oil.

If you really are Ikwerre then please tell your people to remove all traces of Igboness from their language, names and traditions.

We don't want to mistake you as one of us.

Thank you kindly.

lacasera14:
Same with an Ikwerre man.

So, what's your point?

Gerhards:







You are actually right because i read this kind of rubbish every year even when our leaders and stakeholders has not claimed they are Igbos, what a stupidity

Whoever is doing this was probably put under pressure to do so due to Ned Nwoko's Anioma State proposal.

If you understand how the Igbo came to be then you'd know ghat we'd never force our identity on anyone.

Christlike01:


It gives me joy to see Igbo being rejected once again, that's why I'm "in the thread"!

And it gives me joy to know that you can only practice your faith openly in Nigeria because of the same Igbos you like to hate.

Just look at this comment, coming from someone who calls himself "Christistruth".

javascript1901:
Is this news specifically for only your tribe to read and make comment?

Igbos, Ikwerres and Binis. It has nothing to do with anyone else.

AviatorMoney:

Trying to console urself Right?
Good,tell ur friend to keep identifying himself with wherever he wants.....it changes nothing about rivers state.
Oil belongs to us, not Igbos. That settles it, wherever we choose to share it with

So it is because of oil that you people are crying up and down about the Igbos.

Oil is a finite resource and yours will most likely dry up in the next 100 years or so (probably even sooner).

Saudi Arabia is trying to diversify its economy and you people are still here shouting about Igbos and oil. Norway used its oil wealth to build a public wealth fund and you people are still shouting about Igbos and oil.

Continue. When the Igbos leave Nigeria, you will surely know who your true enemies are.

Christlike01:


Please don't involve Yoruba in this;it has nothing to do with us! Yoruba people,from Nigeria to Benin Republic, Togo to Ghana, Sierra Leone to the Gambia, Brazil to Cuba, the Olukumi in Delta state to the Okun in Kogi state,etc don't deny their "Yorubaness". The Yoruba are one indivisible ethnic group irrespective of geographical locations they are found. Ile-Ife in Osun State is our ancestral home;no controversy.

If this has nothing to do with Yoruba people, why are you in this thread?

LOVEALAIGBO:


I think the main issue is trying to understand why a Yoruba man is happy some Ikwerre man is denying being Igbo! I mean, what's your locus in the whole matter and why do you spend an inordinate amount of time on issues concerning Ndigbo and Igbo deniers....ALWAYS supporting anyone willing to deny being Igbo!?

If only they could see what was coming their way ...

Christlike01:


This is exactly what Giannis Adetokunbo's mother did! She taught all her Yoruba children Igbo language and change their mentality and worldviews to that of Igbo! That's exactly what the GRV's mother has successfully done. She brainwashed that fool to the extent that he hates himself - his own identity and heritage! The fool claims he doesn't even think in Yoruba;what a shame! It is the same thing Mrs Akeredolu of Ondo State is trying to do with her children.

Given what we know about these Igbo women,I believe this your faction of the story. I think it's authentic. Ikwerres are not Igbo;they are a distinct ethnic group different from Igbo. Why won't I believe so when majority of these Igbo are already claiming and celebrating Giannis Adetokunbo,the Basketballer,as an Igbo man! Truly,Igbo people's attache by force is quite appalling.

Can Giannis speak Igbo fluently? Can GRV or Betty's kids speak Igbo fluently?

Giannis grew up outside of Yoruba land and his father likely died before he reached adulthood so it's understandable why he feels closer to his mother's side. Most people would.

These Ikwerre claims are more akin to Yoruba men from a particular town marrying Igbo women and those women coming in to change their traditions, language and customs to the extent that there is no more trace of Yoruba in any of them.

This is not about one or two families but a whole community of people. How is this even possible?

lacasera14:
It could also mean Etche and Ngwa are not Igbos or the Igbos are Benin. Remember Onitsha is Benin.

Go to an Onitsha man and tell him that he is not Igbo then report to us what happens next.

Soliddust3030:
. Inter marriage over time, and you know the igbos migrate a lot and know how to influence the locals.

So, it was all a part of some grand Igbo conspiracy to control and dominate these people?

Lmao .

I have never heard of this happening in any culture before. We Igbos truly are special .

Gerhards:






My problem is that they do this nonsense almost every year for no reasons, I don't even have issue with their claimed Bini ancestry, they should stop rubbing it on our faces in the public just to be loved by Fulanis who own Nigeria, I don't see south east Igbos dragging their ancestry lands with them or claim their lands by force

They do it because they believe it will benefit them politically. They don't realise that Nigeria (as we know it) is on its last legs. Tinubu's administration signing that Samoa agreement has proved this.

Nigeria will divide and the Igbos will go their own way, leaving the Ikwerres to their fate.

Amaggedon:
So the population of the igbos were already more than the population of the bini's(ikwerre) for the igbo language to i fluence the bini language(¡kwerre) because if one sheep i placed in the midst of a goat the sheep can never influence the goats rather it will be the other way round.

Exactly. The only way this theory makes sense is if there was already an established Igbo community in the land and they (the Bini settlers) were just immigrants who came and intermarried with them.

004gist:


If he should carry drug now u will call him igbo.

They should develop another language and name and stop answering igbo names

Exactly. They can't keep playing these chameleon tricks. Let them be a distinct minority group with no links to the Igbo ethnic group.

Gerhards:






He's a son of coward called Afon-/ja

I'm not surprised... His obsession with Ndigbo is unreal. I couldn't imagine spending my free time watching pan-Yoruba videos on YouTube .

OriOko88:

You hv no correlation with ibos,but u bear ibo name. Many of u even spk ibo language.Is that elechi not even ibo name,cos I remember one former ebonyi state govo bearing that name.

Iru confusion wo leleyi olohun

All I want is for these Ikwerre people to change their names, titles and language to something that's as far away from Igbo as possible.

We do not want to mistake one Emeka in our midst for an Igbo man when he is not.

I feel sorry for them as when the Igbo leave Nigeria and Nigeria as we know it disintegrates, they will understand the true meaning of "minority".

Slytiger:

Any one can edit wikipedia and put stuff there especially when it's not locked.

As you can see, I just changed the Igbo group to Bini group 🤷🏾‍♂️

What tribe do you belong to?

christistruth01:



Why have Biafrans refused to apologize for their slaughter in the Midwest and Ore?

Midwest and Western Region were neutral

The fight was between the East and the North

You're the one who tried and failed to form fake 'friendship' with Asaba people with your divide and conquer tactics. Why can't you sympathise with them? Why can't you seek justice for their murders?

Lol @the bolded. Can't backtrack now when your people have been rubbing in Igbo people's faces that you "won the war".
