Osogbo people living in Rivers state have equal right as the Ibos living in Rivers state and Wike can invite them for a meeting anytime.

That’s exactly what Wike did with the Tivs he invited. He purposely said Rivers will welcome all tribes and they will be treated fairly and equal but he will deal with any IPOB that want to change the name or proof stubborn.

Wike is just daft and stupid, IPOB have not said that they are changing Rivers state name but reminding the history of Rivers state of which port harcourt is formerly called Igwuocha before the white people came and renamed it. Lagos is called Eko and white colonizers rename it Lagos.

Ikwere people added R in front of most villages to make it look less Igbo like Umuokoro to Rumuokoro and so on.

Useless Buffon, who is renaming Rivers state. Problem with most Africans, always intoxicated with small power.

Nice, nothing for Niger Delta.

What a sad moment, Rip.

The heart of a man is desperately wicked.

Eating snake, Nawaoo

Imagine Igbos wailing and kicking over a fulani king in Lagos.



Oh okay he's a king now abi

Nobody is wailing, Sarkin Fulani of Lagos is the same as Eze Ndigbo of Lagos. Why should Yorubas not kick against Fulani king but found their voices against Igbo king in Lagos.

What is happening, are Yorubas so scared of Fulanis.

Seerade029:
We also have Eze ndigbo in Lagos.
but no one complained

Yes offcourse, but Yorubas last year were shouting over Eze Ndigbo in Lagos and call for it ban, the same happened in Ondo, Akure where the Eze Ndigbo was mistreated and banned.

Afonjas will not see this one

People arguing over Catholic Church while holding a Bible that was put together and giving to them by Catholic Church.

African people.

Nice

Oh lord, pls do something not just for me alone but everyone in my type of situation

God will see you through, remain focused. You can marry a working class lady.

Comedy

Jesus is lord and our personal savior

Juliusmalema:
You are the one, you and your likes suffering from strong inferiority complex.

All the threads you guys keep creating, how many even one an Ikwerre person has created.

Inferiority is in born because you see yourself way below them..

You cannot speak Igbo as your mother tongue and say you are not Igbo

Ikwere will remain Igbos whether they like it or not unless they stop speaking Igbo and bearing Igbo names.

When they stop speaking Igbo and bearing Igbo names then people will take them serious, for now they are bunch of delusional jokers.

Bini supposed to be their language or they keep quite.

Ikwere will remain Igbos whether they like it or not unless they stop speaking Igbo and bearing Igbo names.

When they stop speaking Igbo then people will take them serious, for now they are bunch of delusional jokers.

vanunu:
Get it into your coconut head, the Ikwerres are not Igbos, they are Bini slaves that escaped from Benin and landed in Igweocha. over the years they succeeded in learning Igbo language.

Then they are Igbos if they don’t have or retain their Bini mother tongue.

Juliusmalema:
You lack self respect. Respect is earned.


The way you guys opens thread just about one peope speaks volume how you see yourself and your community inferior too them.

You suffering from inferiority complex, face your tribe

Ikwere have been trying to convince other Nigerians that they are not Igbos because every other minority tribes in Nigeria like Bini,Isoko, Efik, Ibibio,Egun,Itsekiri etc all have their indigenous native spoken languages while Ikwere have no native language except the Igbo language they are speaking and bearing of Igbo names.They said they are from Bini but doesn’t have any atom of Bini language in Igbo language they are speaking neither do they bear any Bini names.

If they are not Igbos what is their original mother tongue.

Tzar:
Edo and Itsekiri people have Yoruba names, does that make them Yoruba?
Nigerian Muslims bear Arab names, does that make them Arabs?
Nigerians bear English names, does that make them English?
Use your certificate plaese!

See this one putting mouth in what he don’t know,Edo, Itsekiri, Arabs, English people all have their native spoken languages while Ikwere have no native language except the Igbo language they are speaking and bearing of Igbo names.

If they are not Igbos what is their original mother tongue

You should be the one to use your certificate.

aribisala0:
There is nothing like THE IGBOID LANGUAGE. You are being derailed by the "Igbo" in Igboid". For your information English is a Germanic language but that is another story

The point is The term "Igboid" was introduced by Kay Williamson the foremost research authority on Igbo linguistic studies before her death.
Igboid is a family of languages which include Ikwerre and several Igbo dialects according to a classification established by Kay Williamson.
By a similar token English German and Dutch are Germanic languages.

Does that make the English or Americans German?

Does it make Nigerians German?

Yabbing nonsense, Old Yoruba man na ontop Igbo matter you dey since 2008 on nairaland.

You should use the same energy to tell how Okun in Kogi and Ilaje in Ondo are not Yorubas.

Hypocrite Yoruba man.

Ikwere are Igbos, they are denying their being Igbo because of Nigeria politics.

If they are not Igbos why are they speaking Igbos and answer Igbos names

How is it possible for them to forget all the traces of their old language to Igbo.No single Bini language in their name and language

MAD Ikwere man

Let there be referendum or regional government in Nigeria.

Republic of northern Nigeria.

They just want BUA, Dangote and northern businesses to have monopoly and control other businesses in Nigeria.

TecM0:
And so fvcking what?! Will Canadian parliament run our country for us?!


Anyways I really wish her Goodluck, because she got subpoena, telling lies under oath would be pejury so I hope she chooses her words carefully

You need to awaken your dead conscience because the governor of Lagos state and others admitted that shooting occurred and many died.

The BMC token money they are giving you shouldn’t block your reasoning.

Charmingrascal:
Arabic is a language
I am a Christian and I studied Arabic both in my secondary and a little bit of it in my University days.

If not that religion has divided us so much in this Country this call to remove this Arabic from the Naira wouldn't have been necessary.

Why is it that they did not use Hebrew, why Arabic.

Some people studied Hebrew in school also.

kilonshele101:
when will Nigerians understand that even the Arabians can't read Ajami.

just like how the native English speakers can read nor understand Yoruba words like "Labalaba" or Igbo words eg "Biko" despite writing them in Roman script.

Ajami is Hausa in Arabic style , it's the first writing style in Nigeria and it has been in existence and begin used in the northern part of Nigeria before our colonial master introduced us to western education and writing in Roman script. and it has nothing to do with religion. even the Roman script was introduced to us by Christian missionaries and we adopted it to be our official writing style. it doesn't mean anything to feel hostile about.


the moment we stop feeling insecure about everything is the day I'm looking forward to , coz it's the day we start moving forward.

Stop lying, what is there is clearly Arabic inscription.

Thought that Sabon gari in Kaduna is Christian dominated area, what of southern kaduna that are Christians.

Yet Kaduna state will collect money from the tax collected from Alcohol consuming states, that is wrong.

Why not consider other players in the industry, must it be only Dangote, monopoly is not good.
