Mister man, go and read Aro history. Present-day Arochukwu was inhabited by a Proto-Ibibio group until the Aros and Abam people arrived and waged a campaign that culminated in the Aro-Ibibio wars. Go and read and stop arguing!

No such thing.
My guess is that you an IPOB simping for minorities as usual.

unclenna:
pls say what you know. Those cross river people crossed river to come and drag land with the ibos.

We gave them land to build temporary resting homes as Fisher men but now they are claiming ownership of the land....

This exactly what happened.
I made a post on this sometime ago
These Minorities used the opportunity of Igbos losing the Biafra war to seize lands their Igbo benefactors gave to them to fish on in pre colonial era as customary tenants.
The Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba with Ijaw gang up after the war, happily ceded these lands to these minorities as punitive action against Igbos post 1970.

If Ukwuani people were not quick to deny Igbo tag, their lands in Ndokwa East that they gave to Isoko settlers in pre colonial era as customary tenants, would have been ceded to Isoko North and Isoko South too as part of the Igbo post civil war punitive action.
Their Igbo denial is why those Isoko settlers now claiming Indigenous in lands their ancestors begged for and were given to them as acts of humanity, are still stuck in Ndokwa East LGA of Ukwuani region, and why Ndokwa/Ukwuani people will retain control of those lands forever.

The same thing played out in PH.
Lands Ikwerre people gave to Obulom people as act of kindness in precolonial times when t
Obulom people left their Abua brothers after losing a war, Obulom people joined Ijaw franchise under Okirika auspices after the civil war and started dragging that land with Ikwerres, while refusing to accept their customary tenants agreement with Ikwerre ancestors that gave them the land.

If Ikwerre people have not denied being Igbo. The Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba with Ijaw gang up after the civil war would have ceded those lands to Obulom people who are now flying under Okirika Ijaw political franchise!

Isu, Ututu people in Arochukwu LGA lost hectares of lands they gave to Efik neighbours to fish at in precolonial times immediately after the civil war, because they were Igbos and didn't have Ukwuani and Ikwerre opportunity to deny their Igbo tag so as to get justice.
For this reason, the FG hurriedly and painfully gifted their lands to Efiks and moved these lands to Odukpani LGA.

This is why I hate IPOB and why I boil with anger when a mentally challenged Igbo person speak of Biafra with Minorities!
These people took advantage of us in our weakest moments and tried to take as much from us as they could.
They are not our siblings or brothers. They are our neighbours, aggressive and expansionist ones for that matter.

zero8zero:
Igbo sense & revisionism, you can't rewrite history.

What is there to rewrite?
Arochukwu history leans more to relationship with Efiks, not Ibibios.
Ibibio -Aro way never happened.

viodemus:
Some people are calling igbos land grabbers.
Stup*d talk.

To gather against igbo dey hungry some people. Just because some efulefus gather with golden days oyibo to suppress the igbos, mean say na you get land.


Well, siblings and cousins misunderstanding can be diplomatically approached and resolved, but those ones remotely controlled and those ones wey think say na think say, should be met with a solution that will treat their mumuism.


Igbos is love giver,
most igbos respect and love the different tribes of cousins in those areas, but we also know the ones that wants to try us, because they are genocide hungry and over pampered by their controllers.

Igbos in their areas that were arrogantly carved in to them, have been suppressed beyond recognition. All that go stop. Igbos are indigenous to the SS, more than most of them. Live and let live. The bullying of the igbos is a no no. The igbos love peace, but will not cower or loose the urge to defend itself.

Please Igbos have no such thing as siblings in Nigeria.
What we have are "neighbours".
Some of us should start being stoic and stop with the stupid brother/sibling stuff with folks that only see you as enemies or potential enemies.

Unu ga amulu ako, n'unu adaghi Iberibe.
Siblings nonsense!

OwoukoUrua:
Hello clown 🤡

Lol!
You are the clown.
Any fool can edit a Wikipedia page.

Pacesetter123:
Have you ever heard of Aro-Ibibio war?
Where do you think the war took place?
You think it was in Uyo?
Go and study history, you say no.

No such thing as Aro-Ibibio war.

NaMe4:
It's a known fact that Arochukwu belongs to the Akwa Ibomites (Ibibios) right from around 300AD (Originally Obong Okon Ita and Ibom).

Following recurrent disputes with Igbo settlers who migrated to the area in waves, the Arochukwu (Aro) confederacy was established to seek peace in the region in the 1600s. The area was later renamed Arochukwu. Obong Okon Ita was also later corrupted to Obinkita.

Obinkita has nothing to do with Obong Okon Ita, try harder.
Arochukwu have been in that land since dawn of time.
They had issues with their non Igbo neighbours.
Fight ensued which they got help from other Igbos and Akpas and won.

Uchasa:
I don't know where you are from, but I'm sure you're not from Abia or surrounding areas because every knowledgeable Abian knows that Arochukwu was Ibibio land just as present-day Turkey was inhabited by the Greeks of the Byzantine empire. Arochukwu was known as Ibom in the past until Crossriver Igbo forces connived to conquer the land and renamed it as Arochukwu just as Turks renamed Costantinople as Istanbul

Stop writing rubbish.
At no point did Arochukwu belong to Ibibio people.
The people Aros had dealings with were Eburutu( Efiks) and not Ibibios.
The both groups lived side by side until the Eburutu people left.

kedeojo:
Why did they not practice it through their governors. Charity begins at home.

Bad eggs like OUK, T A Orji, Chimaroke Nnamani, etc are not respected in Igboland...
We don't sing their praises, we know they are looted the treasury..
See the treatment Ekweremmadu received in Germany from Igbos.

blabulu2000:
2023 election was a mental battle...

Yorùbás were ashamed of associating and campaigning for their own....

To mention Tinubu's name in a city where he was born became a taboo...

The Ibos decided who was good and bad...

The Yorùbás who wanted to vote for Tinubu went to polls quietly...

They couldn't even celebrate their victory...

In Lagos... Home of the president

How did we get here??

How

How

I thought we were practicing a democracy??

I thought what's good for @PeterObi having 90% of votes in the east is also good for @officialABAT having same in the west??

When did Yorùbás start caring about people's opinion on their choice

Who made Igbos the determinants of good and evil

These things must be corrected in 2027...
You cannot boldly campaign for an Igbo man in Yorùbá land and shut the owners of the land up...

We saw Igbos chasing people away and beating them up in polling units for voting an outsider in their land...

We saw Igbos kill a Yorùbá person in Lagos...

Never again should we allow people to shut us up in our lands...

We must dictate where the stride flows...

Igbos said that Tinubu and Buhari are bad for Nigeria and they have been proven right today.
So yes, the result shows that they have earned the right to speak on who is bad and who is good, because they are business orientated and are only interested in leadership capable of eliciting economic boom so that they too can rake in profits, which in return will benefit everyone in the country.

Poor usage of reverse psychology.
Target is to get Atiku and other opposition to start fighting with Obi over who is the face of opposition politics in Nigeria so that his pay master Mr T-payne can get some breathing space .
Reno is mentally challenged.

Ojiofor:
If you do not care you won't be here commenting rubish.
The thread is about River state ohanaeze pg,who invited you?

Just a frustrated Yoruba man claiming to be Ikwerre.
It's pathetic.
See long crying epistle he typed on a topic he claimed to not care about.
The unification of Igboland will give Yorubas, SS Minorities ( Ijaw and Bini especially) incurable headache.
But the thing is that it's a divine mandate. Like the reunification of Germany.
Igboland will reunite.

Hmm.
So Egbema Rivers have stopped being Egbema ethnic nationality and are now united with Egbema Imo in being Igbo?
That's wonderful.

helinues:
Ordinary make you stay put for your region, you just can't without flocking to the region of the people you so much hate

Tomorrow na Sunday and your likes would be preparing of going to church. To do what precisely when you harbor unnecessary hatred for your heart

Not wanting to share a country with a people we have divergent worldview with is not hate.
It's actually love.
Boundaries create love and respect.
Stop the forced unity, it will only breed more hate.

Ringstonermasks:
Igbos are industrious people, and yet complicated. Somehow difficult to understand bt very hard working and committed. Yoruba are flamboyant. It lyk having money and wearing bicycle seat leather on ur head, u just don't know how it fits.


Yorubas got the good life, they like d flex, dey are very simple and yet happy people with the exception of the fake yorubas lyk Helinues and Co that always give their tribe a bad name.


Anyways, Igbos and Yorubas should learn to be tolerant and live together as one.

Igbos have no reason to live together with Yorubas, we are not one people.
The Nigerian mistake will be corrected now or by the future Igbo generation.

vanbonattel:
I agree.

This is what distinguished OBJ from Buhari and Tinubu.
Oil price was at all time low during OBJ era, yet OBJ achieved so much more than any president of Nigeria since 1999.
Because OBJ understood what governance was all about.
OBJ went around the world assembling the best capable hands Nigeria could offer in all aspects of his governance without any consideration of where they come from.

You wonder why those from where the sun sets hate the man up till this day.

vanbonattel:
That will be good for regional integration. We are not behaving like some people from where the sun sinks.

It's not even about regional integration.
It's about getting the best value for money.
Getting the best hand available to work for your people.

The Edo man underwent exams with other Abians and was the best! You shortchange Ndi Abia when you don't let them benefit from the competence of the best available hands at same salary you would have paid his inferiors.
We have to start changing how we view governance.
Governance is not an avenue to reward your relations and friends. Governance is a life and death stuff.
Best available hands must be deployed at all times irrespective of where they come from.

vanbonattel:
Governor Otti is doing very well.

Abia PDP coalition are a group of mad people due for a psychiatric evaluation.

They ran the state down for 24 years. Stole the people common wealth, left the infrastructure to decay, paid no salaries or pension, fanned embers of sectarianism by promoting Ngwa Vs Ohuhu politics in the state just to hold unto power, promoted anti Igbo rhetorics by sacking Igbos who were not from Abia from the civil service.

What makes them think Ndi Abia are interested in their opinions?
PDP Abia is a disgrace and have been forever buried never to rise again in the state.

In modern world, you hire the best hands to work for your people.
Where they come from is the least of your concerns. Their antecedents and capacity is all that should count.
Governance is like health and should be treated as such. When you are sick, you look for the best specialist in that field , and when you do, his place of origin is the least of your concerns. Your concerns is if you could afford his services.

If we approach governance like this, our fortune will change. We will no longer leave ourselves to quack "Eliza nurse" to do kidney transplant for us, just because he is from same town as us, when we know he lacks the competence and will kill us in the surgical table.

U ARE RUNNINBG YOUR MOUTH IN A CRIMINAL ENTITY.

HAD THE BRITISH CONTINUED TO RUN THIS COUNTRY, U WILL HAVE MORE SENSE THAN THIS.

NNAMDI AZIKIWE YOUR FELLOW BINI-IGBO SHOULD HAVE ALLOWED THE BRITISH TO CONTINUE RUNNING THIS COUNTRY AND THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR BETTER.


SOMEONE UP THERE SAID YOUR ANCESTORS WERE PROUD IGBO BUT YOU ARE A YORUBA-BINI MAN WITHOUT ANY RESEARCH OR EXCAVATION OR ACHEALOGICAL FINDINGS.


THAT IS THE LAZINESS OF THE AVEARAGE BLACKMAN.


FUNNY ALL THE ACADEMICS REFERENCE U EVER MADE ARE TO WORKS WRITTEN BY EUROPEANS OR THEIR EMPLOYEE DURING IMPERIALISM, COLONIALISM AND SLAVERY.


EVEN WITH ELECRTICITY, LAZINESS HAVE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO MAKE RESEARCH, JUST SIT ONLINE TALKING NONNENSE.

You are being emotional.
Lol!
Don't take these online discussions seriously.
The person you are discussing with is likely a Yoruba or Ijaw man and no where close to those Igbo clans in Rivers state. Infact having gone through his profile, I can confidently tell you 100% that he an Ijaw man

Their own sole aim is to keep Igboland balkanized.
For the Yorubas, it's important because they want Nigeria to stay one and they feel Igbos will not want to leave if our people in Rivers and Delta are left behind, they also enjoy the oil wealth of those regions and feel the only way this continues is if they keep them away from the Igbo of SE.
It's akin to a wolf trying to separate sheep from the herd to ensure easy preying on them.

For the Ijaws, their stranghold on Niger Delta will be nullified the moment all Igbo speaking groups in SS unite under Igbo banner! They will single handedly become the single most influential oil producing group in SS, displacing the Ijaws in the equation.
This is not a scenario they want, so it is to their long term goal that they keep all those Igbo groups divided as independent small inconsequential and easily dominated ethnic groups, away from uniting with each other and most importantly away from Igbos of the SE.

Though not friends themselves as they still have Ilaje issue in Ondo to sort out, the Yorubas and Ijaw interests are united for different reasons in keeping Igboland balkanized and maintaining the identity crisis amongst Igbo groups in SS.

For a long time, the Igbo have known the Yoruba agenda and threat but have been blind to those of Ijaw.

Stolen:
I WONT BE SURPRISE IF U ARE ANOTHER YORUBA MAN.

He is Ijaw.
There are many of them in Ogba.
They were given birth as bastards at home by their Ijaw mothers who then get married to Ogba men and take them along.
They grow up in Ogba land, learn the language and all.
But their Ijaw Igbophobia never leaves them.
Their machinations starts and ends online, they have no standing in Ogba as they are not Amadis.

XXXOGBA:
Another newcomer.
Why should I explain obvious things to you guys.

Colonisation and Christianity played a big role. We almost lost our identity as an ethnic nationality.

And don't ask me questions you can use your common sense to answer.

My ancestor did not grow up from the soil.

What we? Don't be ridiculous..
Funny Ijaw man with new moniker..
What happened to that your old "Truck pusher" handle?
Your Ijaw ancestors came from Ghana to our shores.

XXXOGBA:
Early humans left Africa, you should know what happened next. I'm not here to educate you about the migration of early life forms.
If you don't understand it, don't bring it up.

Your ancestors came from the soil, mine didn't.

Thank you.

Let me guess?
Yours came from Bini but suffered brain damage on their way to current location that made them lose their Edoid language and replaced it with the current Igboid one?

Tranquill:
Munmusionist aka Igboid aka pazienzia aka first class oloddo always talking nonsense as usual.

You should have shown any pre colonial document that shows that Igbo existed. Igbo that did not even exist until less than 200 years ago. Munmun man.

You are tired of opening threads everyday on nairaland for you and your fellow disggusting idiots to be disparaging and insulting Ikwerrre people.

Come anywhere near Ikwerre land come do that your smelly and idi0tic “unification” mek your body talk to you shameless people.

You Yoruba bitter soul masquerading as Ikwerre for ages, are you not tired of your evil machinations?
I don't need to do anything in Ikwerre land, our Igbo ancestors in Ikwerre land will raise noble sons in Ikwerreland to fight and win that battle.
Look at what the likes of "the tribes" are doing today.
A decade ago no such thing was present. It will oy get better. Igbo unification is a divine mandate. Enemies of Igbo like you will cry in the end as your diabolical efforts end in futility.
Izu Ka mmma na Nne ji will always prevail.

Tranquill:
Do not believe any crap these shameless lying desperados and Ipob feed you. Ikwerre never identified as Igbo before, during and after the war. Ikwerre don’t share the same values, world views nor ways of life with Igbo people. Ikwerre along with other minorities started agitating to be separated from Igbo into a different region or State even before independence (b4 the agitation for the midwestern region) but Zik and his people being mainly in control, always have ways to sabotage or thwart these efforts.

Even before the war started, Ikwerre and other Rivers delegations met with Ojukwu and made same demand so anyone telling you about “after the war, Gowon did this and that, or divide and rule, fear of Fulani” BS is suffering from Mkpurunmiri hangover. See excerpts from a narrative written by an Ikwerre man and this events happened before the war. Three of the five people in that delegation were Ikwerre.

These are all revisionist books by individuals looking for FG patronage from those parts after the civil war.

Show us any precolonial or colonial documents backing your claim!

Ikwerre people came to Willink commission as Igbo clan and never challenged their Igbo tag during the commission enquiries.
Mischief workers like you are fighting a losing battle.
Igbo land unification will happen, your efforts at keeping Igboland balkanized will be in vain. People are becoming wiser and are asking pertinent questions.

fuckingAyaya:
When igbo people wanted to bring their harmless masquerade to Lagos some people were threatening with fire and brimstone,now the real muslims are ready to capture Oyo by introducing sharia law as they did in ilorin the fake cowardice slaves are pleading on their knees. What prophet MNK S.A.W said in 2016 is already coming to pass in 2024. I refuse to be a coward in my backyard,spit!!

Wetin no concern Ndiigbo, some of you will find a way to put us into it, denying us the opportunity to watch proceedings from the comfort of sidelines.

Tufiakwa unu.
Zero emotional intelligence.

EMIOMOADEOYE:
Vote?

What vote?

Who told you Tinubu needs you to vote for him?

Did APC not do more than enough to vote them out under Buhari?

Are you saying you are still part of those who went to vote APC inspite of the looming signs. Anyway it wasn't like there was a credible candidate to even start with.

So it really didnt matter who you voted.

Anyway, Tinubu clearly does not need your vote. Look what he did and got away with. Imagine what he will do as an incumbent.

At this point, instead of kicking againt Tinubu, we should be doing our best to identify a credible candidate.

As of this moment, there is absolutely non.

NONE at all.

See reverse psychology.
You must think you are wise.😀

Dafresh:
I bought three fowl for 75k yesterday each 25k and you're telling me rubbish. Nofin comes down in Nigeria and next year will be worst Tinubu won't win most states he won before because of hardship.

Don't be too sure about that your last sentence.
Tinubu will likely win again.

Obi will still contest and not as Atiku VP.

Tinubu can win and the suffering will continue if the rest of the country want it to be so.

As usual, the East will still not participate in any future protests against Tinubu after the election.
We will do our own protest by presenting Obi and voting for him, and if that is not enough, we will go back to our shops and continue waiting out Nigeria.

Dalohad:
You are Ijaws man disguising as an Ogba man. You created this handle recently to cause tribal confusion and insult Ibos.

He is an old NL.
I have forgotten his old moniker name.
He use to claim to be from Ogba in the same moniker until he was busted as an Ijaw man .

The issue is that many of them come with their mother to Ogba in marriage as Ijaw children their mother gave birth to at home.
They grow in Ogba, learn the language, the their Ijaw blood which is usually poluted with strong Igbophobia will never leave them.
