He is just following CNN , Al-Jazeera and BBC news to get info, all this thing he said was in the main stream news in the past two weeks.

The Igbo language that Ikwerre people are speaking is what sold them out as Igbos, they should have learn Bini language, all this confusion will not be there.

ChiefOkporghe:
So.... What about the Itsekiris?

Itsekiris are ethnic group of their own since Yorubas can’t hear Itsekiri language unless they learn it although it sound Yoruba.

waternogatenemy:
IKWERRE PEOPLE ARE UNSTOPPABLE SINCE AMAECHI GOVERNORSHIP, THEM NO GREE FOR ANYBODY.



THE ONLY OFFICE REMAINING NOW IS PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA, AND MILITARY CHIEF, WITH THE WAY THEY ARE GOING BACK TO BACK.


BOTH AMAECHI AND WIKE ARE EYING THAT OFFICE AND HOVERING AROUND.


MAKE GOD GIVE THEM AT LEAST VP IF NOT PRESIDENT.

ATIKU AND AMAECHI. LOL


I LIKE SUCCESS, IT IS IN MY BLOOD AS AN IGBO.


IF YOU ARE DOING WELL, WE DEY APPRECIATE AM.

Is there any Igbo against Amaechi or Wike becoming the president of Nigeria

zed7:
Lol. Ikwerres say they are not Igbos but from Benin.

Basically, it means the bins are the leaders of the igbos now or what?

The binis are the leaders of the yorubas, and now the igbos. Oba gha tor kpe he.

We will take you serious when Ikwerre people stop speaking Igbo and drop their Igbo names to that of Bini and start speaking Bini language instead speaking of Igbo.

Ikwerre people speak and bear Igbo names, so they are Igbos. You can’t be speaking Yoruba as your mother tongue and bearing Yoruba name and say you are not Yoruba that you are from Hausa.

Forcing Naira to appreciate is not a lasting solution since it can crash one day.

They want to westernise CBN, they should share equal

See how they are castigating the man, these are people some of their relatives lost their jobs in that demolition. The question will be did FG compensate the man and others that was affected.

Language is not a barrier for starters

I have someone there and going to 3years now working and it’s now he want to enroll for language class

Not true, language is a big barrier, that person must be an international student or asylum seeker that carry goods in DHL or Amazon then later enroll in language class. A job seeker without knowledge of German will not get job in Germany except in few IT sector.

You can easily get jobs to offload containers or carry goods in a company in Germany but they cannot change your job seeking visa to working visa with that kind of job. International student is entitled to work anywhere for survival but when they graduate they need to speak German to get a good job that can change their student visa to work resident permit.

Anybody telling you that you can work in Germany without speaking German is lying to you except if you are in IT, for working in healthcare you need a minimum of B1. Those who work in Germany without speaking German are mainly international student who carry goods in Dhl, Amazon or asylum seekers that offload containers or carry heavy irons.

Is he not the thief himself

All this thing is just political statement and never the reality on ground, when one go to their embassy the waiting period for visa is 2 years. They are not serious like UK that is easy when you meet the requirement.

Dejijossy:
I can see a wide leadership gap from Obi's address. If he is allowed further, he will request for the president to be holding weekly meetings with LG chairmen and counselors.

Some Yorubas defending the government at all cost because it was a Yoruba man in power even when it is obvious that Obi is saying the truth. This is the problem of Nigeria and Africa. They are mostly corrupt and never stand for what is good for their own people. On Friday and Sunday they will be rushing to the mosque and churches.

Ikwerre are Igbos is just Nigerian politics because they felt Igbos are been marginalised in Nigeria, so they associate with the winning side and deny their heritage.

rigid123:
It is not your business whether they speak akpala igbo or not. You people are ascribing so much importance to rubbish/nothing. Let them be.

Which one is let them be, the language they speak is their problem because if they continue to answer and speak Igbo, people will be seeing them as igbos and denial and confusion continues. They should stop speaking and bearing Igbo names and speak Bini, Ijaw or Yoruba to solve the problem.

rigid123:
This is what you get when you have inconsequential, lazy and criminal nonentities like nnamenh and co, goIng about robbing sheat on the great igbo in the name of unifying Igbos nonsense. Leave ikweres alone.

Nobody is dragging Ikwerre, they speak Igbo as their indigenous language

numericalguy:
Na by force to be Igbo?
Why can't Igbos leave Ikwere land alone. Must they grab Ikwere land by force?.

All these antics is just to steal Ikere land

Nobody is forcing them, their Ikwerre language is Igbo. If you see someone speaking Yoruba, you will say that person is a Yoruba without asking, the same if you see someone speaking Ikwerre dialect, you will see the person as Igbo because the Ikwerre he is speaking is what is known as Igbo Language worldwide.

Okhuadams:
Mo An Ikwerre man can here Igbo Language but the Igbos can't understand most of their words. After all the Igbos chased them out of ibo Land giving them a name tag called OSU (OUTCAST)

Not true, Ikwerre dialect is vast, Ozuaha, Ndoni/Egbema is the same language with most part of Imo state, while inside PH town various but Igbos hear them.

numericalguy:
BIG FAT LIES FROM THE PIT OF HELL
Ikweres are not genetically related to Igbos in any way. Ikweres are more genetically related to Yorubas

The problem is that Ikwerre speak Igbo and language defines who you are, Yorubas are Yoruba because they speak Yoruba. Ikwerre people own can’t be different, they can drop their Ikwerre dialect of Igbo and start speaking Bini or Yoruba then people will no longer see them as Igbos. You can’t be speaking Igbo language and be claiming to belong to another tribe.

Ikwerre people are Igbos because their language is pure Igbo, but politics in Nigeria is making them to deny being Igbo.

ALL THE WHOLE BASTARDS IN NIGERIA NOW HAVE PHD ON IGBO, EVEN WEN THEY CANNOT FIND THEIR FATHER VILLAGE OR KNOW HIS CULTURE.


AINT THAT FUNNY?

Stop typing in capital letter, so that people can read your comments easily.

As if they are not mining since 5 years ago, can northerners obey the ban.

flokii:
I'm still trying to figure out how a party with only 1 Governor out of 36 States and FCT can be claiming they won 2023 Presidential election.. una be wetey o.

Okupe should stop stressing himself.. no vacancy in Aso rock till 2031.

Try to get sense, presidential election is different from state government election. In a sane country where election is free and fair, independent candidate with no party have won presidential elections in some countries where people’s vote count. People vote individual not party as it is done in Nigeria.

ben1daEbiri:
That means Germany colonised have of Europe since English, French and Dutch were derived from Germany.

You see how you're being clever by half?

Igbos born in Lagos that can speak yoruba are yoruba abi? Yoruba are Benin people since they share words and culture abi?

You're logic is very flawed. You guys always make claims without asking questions. Some of you always claim Omoku but don't even know any roads leading to Omoku. We just celebrated Nchaka festival, why didn't you come and witness it then ask questions to know a bit about the culture but you automatically declare that Ogba is Igbo.

You lots are funny

You are still not getting it, you don’t know what is indigenous language. Spanish and Portuguese is the same Latin language that it’s two dialects evolved into Spanish and Portuguese politically during the Roman Empire. Someone that learn a language are not indigenous to that language.

XXXOGBA:
Na by force to be Igbo?

We no be Igbo.

Nobody is forcing you to be Igbo, the nature have made you Igbo forever, unfortunately if you finish denying not being Igbo you will continue to answer Igbo names, speak Ogba dialect of Igbo and practice Igbo culture in marriages and so on. So God have stuck you guys with Igbo no escape route unless you guys will stop speaking and bearing Igbo names and learn Bini language.

BondRiv:
And you guys call others unity beggars? Shame small na. Haba! It's not by force.

There is no unity begging here for people that speak Igbo as their indigenous language. A person that is a citizen of Togo but speak Yoruba as his indigenous language is a Yoruba person irrespective of country he is from. There are Yoruba speaking tribe that call theirselve ife tribe in Togo or Ewe in Cotonu, if they are claiming to be ife or Ewe but not Yoruba, does that make them not to be Yoruba as they called them in Nigeria, the bottom line is that they can speak to each other and can understand each which means that their language is the same. Countries are European creations so also state creation in Nigeria. So that is applicable to Ikwerre, Ogba etc dialects of Igbo language in Rivers State. They speak Igbo and they are Igbos.

So Nobody is begging for unity from people that bear Igbo name and speak Igbo.

ben1daEbiri:
So that makes Ogba people Igbo? That means all Africans that speak Afrikaans are Dutch or all Dutch people are Germans by you logic.

You people should continue begging for unity, we'll have nothing to do with is people

Please try to understand the difference between indigenous language and colonial language. Afrikaans is colonial language brought to them by colonialism from Europe, so they can’t be Dutch. In your own case your indigenous language is Igbo, so you people are Igbos.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Zik moved the capital of Eastern Nigeria from Calabar , a coastal city to Enugu all out of tribal sentiments.

Before there was Abuja, Enugu was fulfilling that role with all the resources from the region concentrated in developing an inhabitable Enugu.

Instead of developing Calabar to rival Lagos, tribal sentiments saw Zik move the capital in 1960 to Enugu from Calabar. If not Calabar why not PH? And after doing this , Zik went to Lagos to be dragging it with Yorubas.

It's really appalling that such a large city as Enugu can not fix the water problem.

What's stopping successive governments from piping water from Orji river or 9th mile and using the surrounding hills as gravity pumps to households? For where! Instead a cartel of water tanker operators were left to operate and this same cartel are composed of very powerful people connected to governments that will not let the government to invest in a very simple centralised water supply system. Just imagine the revenue that the state government can generate from simple water works.

Hating on Igbos, calabar was never capital of eastern Nigeria but capital of Nigeria before amalgamation and British move the capital to Lagos before independence. Stop disgracing yourself with false information.
