When someone is heart broken, the beautiful bride charade completely destroyed in his eyes, he'll cry left and right. Evident this guy. I'm curious, since the entire igbo on this thread have uniformly informed you they find ikwerre as a bunch of lazy and want nothing to do with una, Infact want you ikwerre to STOP everything concerning Igbo aka change your language, culture, your names, stop joining our groups etc; why the f2k are you still trying to imply any Igbo want Ikwerre. Are you that much in tears that the "beautiful bride" you thought igbo saw your people as is completely demolished and a straight lie instead we see una as an ugly troll. Hey ya Udo oo

While we at it, you've been running your mouth about pilitocs, nature, etc. Please list to us what political value ikwerre have in that country? The only relevant politician you people ever created was this Amaechi character, the only one to ever come close to grazing any political head in FG yet look how he acted. Went from a respected governor to a driver just because he desperately wanted a VP slot. Infact sef, he's single handily paying for APC movement, turning una into more paupers so pray tell, what political relevance or strength or anything have you ikwerres produced I don wait.

You talk of oil. start naming any ikwerre that owns oils well. Like the mugus una be, the north and west came and took all the oil slot in your state, took all your money and slap una in the face but like a Mumu u still think say na una owe am. Oya name one. At least the Igbo communities with oil aren't just allowing non igbos to drill in their lands, they insisted igbos must drill in their property as well before they can allow any non igbo touch am. Just like we can name a western or northern that owns an oil plot, we equally can name an igbo but can you name an Ikwerre? See why we want una to destroy any connection to us. Una mumu.

Finally you talk to rich lands, Oya nwoke, The north feeds una so which rich lands do you speak of. You import more than you export and even in that your PH, igbo traders are outdoing you people so wetin you dey yarn. Someone once asked you to list achievements of Ikwerre. We still haven't heard back from you. We dey wait. I'm assuming it's a hard task.

He still have not answered that question.

What?

Unbeknown

Here is what Uche Okwukwu said in an Interview published in Nigerian Tide about Ikwerre and Igbo:

Barrister Uche Okwukwu you are known by many people for different things, controversial is one of them. Once, you were quoted as saying that Ikwerres are Igbos just as you were also quoted as supporting the MASSOB struggle at a time. Can you react to these sayings?

Yes, my name is Uchechukwu Okwukwu. I am an Igbo man. I have said it in different fora, the Willink report is available, the Ph’D work of Late Chief Aguma in University of Ibadan 1977 is available, other reports are also available. There is a fundamental difference between a nation and a tribe. A tribe speaks a dialect, a Nation speaks a language. Some Ikwerre people agreed that they are from Igbo, some say they are from Benin heritage. Scientifically, there are parameters we use to determine things, the sociological, spiritual, geographical and historical. If you say you are from Benin, come with your proof and show us how you came from Benin. There is no common thing that trace Ikwerre lineage to Benin. There is no single common Edo language in the Ikwerre land. None. So, those who, in falsification of languages, say other wise, should come forward with their proof.

In a study carried out by the Niger Delta group in 1976, under the Niger Delta spirit, edited by Prof Alagoa, the Ikwerre was clearly pointed out as Igbos. See, to lose a war is bad-the post-war Nigeria saw the two groups, the Igbos and Niger Delta as conquered people and the victorious North and the West clearly, unequal partners in a new relationship that eventually emerged and in that unequal relationship, like the law of Osmosis, weaker solution is naturally drawn by the stronger solution. What happened was that if you said then, you’re an Igbo, you are hated because you’re a Biafran you committed a crime, your master is in Cote d’Ivoire you raised up arms against the Federal Government, forgetting that according to Gabriel Onyeke’s Commission of enquiry 30,000 Easterners were massacred. So everybody said I am not Igbo purely as a survival syndrome. Why would you say you are Igbo, when you were not wanted? Of course, my name is Uche Okwukwu, so you can ask me my name and I will say’ am not Igbo, because if I say I was Igbo, I will be punished, but you would agree with me in this state that the great and mighty of Ikwerre land agreed that they were all Igbos. They include late Francis Ellah, former Secretary to the Rivers State government who said he was an Igbo man, the late Okugbule Wonodi, former registrar of the University of Port Harcourt said the same. Chief C. C. Nwuche said he is an Igboman, so what crime has Uchechukwu Okwukwu committed?

What is the contention of Ogbakor Ikwerre on this? Do you belong to Ogbakor Ikwerre?

Ogbakor Ikweere is an umbrella socio-cultural body, it has never said no Ikwerre man should have a different opinion on any issue.

Do they agree with you on this issue?

No, Ogbakor Ikwerre doesn’t need to agree with me because, it has never, ever driven any Ikweere man for identifying with the Igbos or one who said, he is an Igbo man.

We hope they will not sanction you?

They never drove away Okugbule Wonodi, they are not thinking of that because there are available records to show, everybody wrote with his own hand writing. When people who went to school wrote in their own handwriting, when they were not biased, people wrote tribe and nation, such records are available. What happens in this country is that we like to suppress truth. Believe me, this is the biggest shame coming from this part of the black race, it is not a courageous race ,the race is always very petty. Today’s US President Barack Obama told American voters I am pure Black American” be said, my father came here to get scholarship to study Medicine, because of internal crisis, and then government received Obama’s father into the US.

The Kenyan’s son said my name is Barack Obama ,my background is Kenya. He never said I come from America and I will answer Bush or White. ,if it were in Nigeria, he would start answering another name or remove Barack Hussein Obama, because America had problem with the Muslim extremists, then.

Do you think that the MASSOB struggle for a Biafran nation is realisable under the Nigerian Government?

Every struggle under the sun is realisable, every dream you have can be realised.

I asked because most Ikwerres say they are not Igbos.

It is not what we feel or think, many may speculate that I am a multi-millionaire, but I am not a millionaire, it is just an opinion. I have said and quote me, Uche Okwukwu, take me up, put me down, bury me 5ft underground, I am an Igbo man. What is wrong with that? I have said it before and I have given great names who also said they were Igbos too, identity is very important see, I read a book sometimes in London. I recalled the history of the Samarians, and I read it in the monastery, and beheld how a man was asked the question, who are you? When he mentioned his name, the man asked him again, do you remember what happened to your people? He answered, no, so, the man then told him to go back and read his history because, the Samarians are today a lost tribe, because they refused to read their history

Again in Geneva in 1998? I met a senator from the US, attending the meeting of the unrepresented United Nations Organisation.

The man said he was Asyrian, and everybody was shocked but he said it. That he is from Asyria, the most interesting thing was that the man could read and write in Asyrian language, even though there is no country today, called Asyria.

I took him up on that and he said, the worst thing that can happen to a man is to deny his own root, out of fear, cowardice, intimidation. When you do that, on the long wrong, you pay dearly for it, if you are not careful, your geneology disappears from the face of the earth.

Is that why you were once said to have supported the hoisting of the Biafran flag in Rivers State?

MASSOB is an idea, I believe in ideas and in what I call appropriate fiscal principles and I believe in many other progressive principles. When we go into the river to fish, there are all kinds of fishes, Tilapia, and the rest, but some other persons may be looking for the type of fish that is not known to us and which is not too popular. The Movement for the Actualization of the Soverign State of Biafra raised the flag of Biafra (MASSOB) in 2000, because they perceived injustice, and that perceived injustice they believed, could only be addressed when a peaceful process produces a clearer political space. The Ogoni people raised a flag in 1990 when they felt that they were being oppressed, they had a national anthem, I have attended a meeting of Odua Peoples Congress, (OPC) when a flag was raised, even when it was from the Yoruba nation but because these people speak Igbo and you understand Igbos are people that are hated in Nigeria. Whatever they say the talk is: bring them let’s kill and sacrifice them. They were not the first to raise a national flag. The first flag was raised by the Arewa, before Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu raised the Biafran Republic’s flag, but nobody discussed it. They suppressed it, the British intelligence suppressed it, the truth is that I subscribe to the fundamental principles of Biafra because it is a foundation that supported that the issues be addressed.

The Blackman’s rights to get dignity and survival is one. What the Igbo man is saying is we must go back to the table and negotiate and discuss. The Ijaw man for instance said, I am producing oil, but I buy it more expensively in Nembe than others buy it in Sokoto, lets discuss it, Ogoni man said, you started drilling oil from Ogoni kingdom in 1958,we raised our voices, you killed our people, let’s discuss, Igboman said of all the six geo political regions in Nigeria, we alone have just five states, others have six. For that reason, we have 15 senators only, when the North have more, let’s discuss, Ikwerre man said out of the 774 local government Areas in the country, Ikwerre with their land mass and populations have only four local government areas, is an issue, lets discuss, that is how nations move forward. You don’t move the people forward by supressing them for their agitations. If you do that, you compel them to resort to violence and I don’t pray and subscribe to violence because of my background and training, I believe that it is important to jaw-jaw than war-war, so it is important to discuss and talk, there are many different issues bothering the people. Dialogue is the answer.

2015: Ikwerre Man has no Business in Rivers Government House, Asari Dares Patience Jonathan

ARTICLE | APRIL 11, 2014 - 6:13AM
Alhaji Mujahedeen Asari Dokubo
The leader of outlawed Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force Alhaji Mujahedeen Asari Dokubo said next governor of Rivers State will not be determined by First Lady Patience Jonathan.

According to him, an attempt to make supervising minister of education Nyesom Wike the next governor of the state, Dokubo warned, would not only affect the political fortune of President Goodluck Jonathan but also the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

He said the plan by the first lady to impose Wike on the people was morally wrong in the light of the dominance of the political landscape of the state by the Ikwerre group, to which Wike belongs, in the past 16 years.

“To make Wike a governor in Rivers State in 2015 is not morally right. All the fellows endorsing him for whatever reason should know that it will injure PDP, it will injure Goodluck Jonathan. If Goodluck’s name is brought into it, that he is in support of the perpetuation of an Ikwerre hegemony in Rivers State, which is not right by population, which is not right under any calculation, it will injure him and PDP,” Dokubo stated in an exclusive interview with LEADERSHIP friday yesterday.

Mrs Jonathan had ignited a controversy over the governorship ticket of the PDP in the next election in Rivers State on Tuesday when she said Wike enjoyed her backing in his gubernatorial ambition.

The first lady, in a statement issued in a reaction to a report that she had dumped Wike for a candidate from the riverside area of the state, preferably one from her Okirika stock, in the countdown to 2015, said she was solidly behind the minister in his bid to occupy the Brick House, Port Harcourt.

She said, in a statement issued by her media aide, Mr Ayo Adewuyi: “In the case of Rivers State, the First Lady wishes to state categorically that the Supervising Minister of Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, is the leader of PDP in Rivers State and he enjoys the followership of the people of the State. The First Lady is solidly behind Chief Wike.

“The people of Rivers State are also solidly behind Chief Wike and are prepared to follow him. It is therefore mischievous to insinuate that Mrs Jonathan is working to ensure that the governorship candidate comes from one of the riverine areas of Rivers State which may not be where the people are going.

“It is also imperative to state that the First Lady is always with the people and will continue to go with the wish and expectations of the people. Mrs Jonathan has not withdrawn her support for Chief Wike at any time and will always work for the interest and the good of Rivers people. As far as the First Lady is concerned, there is NO SHAKING in Rivers State.”

In yesterday’s interview, Dokubo insisted that Wike could not become the next governor of the state in view of the interests of the three ethnic clusters in the state.

He said an Ikwerre man had no business in Rivers Government House in 2015, adding that it would amount to political suicide for PDP to field Wike in the next election.

Dokubo said the Ogoni should be supported to produce the next governor in the interest of justice and fair play, adding that it is only the Ogoni cluster that has not produced the governor of the state.

“As far as we all know, there are three ethnic clusters in Rivers State: the Ijaws, the Igbos (Ikwerre is part of the Igbo cluster) and the Ogonis. After Bayelsa was excised from Rivers State, the Igbos have ruled for many years. Odili was an Idoni Igbo; he ruled for eight years. Omehia/Amaechi, who is also Ikwerres, by 2015 would have ruled for more than eight years, making over 16 years,” he explained.

Insisting that it is impossible for an Ikwerre man to emerge as successor of the incumbent governor Rotimi Amaechi, he said: “It is morally wrong for any anybody to say that Igbo cluster should produce the next governor in 2015. I am an Igbo man also, by virtue of my origin, and so I am not against the Ikwerre people or against the Igbo. I repeat, I am an Igbo man; I can narrow it down: I have Ikwerre blood flowing in my veins.

“Having said that, the next cluster are the Ijaws, made up of the Kalabaris, the Obolo and Ibani people, the Wakrike; Okirika is just one town in Wakrike, Ukoro and others. These people have produced a governor. In terms of local government spread, they are in 11 local government areas out of the 23 local government areas; the Igbos are spread in eight and the Ogonis in four local government areas.

“In terms of population, when you remove the cosmopolitan population of Port Harcourt and Obiakpor, which is about 80 per cent of the population, is non-indigenous of those local governments. That is old non-Rivers indigenes and Rivers indigenes, who are not indigenes of Port Harcourt and Obiakpor local governments. If you remove those populations, the Ijaws are the majority as a single block.

“When you look at that, for somebody to say another Ikwerre man should become governor is wrong. Yes, constitutionally, he has a right to aspire, everybody is free to aspire, but it is not moral, it is not right. Something can be legally right but it might not be morally right.”

Making a case for the Ogoni, Dokubo said the age-long domination and oppression of the Ogoni people must end in 2015.

According to him, it would be unjust and unfair to continue to exclude the Ogoni in the scheming for the highest political office in the state. The Ogonis are the only people who have never produced governor because the whole Bayelsa that left were Ijaw people, he stated.

“So if we are saying there should be justice in Rivers State… if we are crying against domination by others, we should not also oppress other people. The people that morally should be allowed to produce the next governor of Rivers State is the Ogoni cluster made up of the Ogonis proper and the Eleme people.”

Dokubo expressed surprise that Patience Jonathan feigned ignorance of the homogenous nature and political reality in the state by openly identifying with the minister to clinch the top job in the state in 2015.

“The first lady need not to be told that it is morally and politically wrong for her to support another Ikwerre man by 2015, after the Igbo bloc would have spent over 16 years. She has every right to support who she wants but that must be done in a morally and politically correct direction and manner.”

Debunking the claim of his Ijaw kinsmen to the coveted seat in 2015, he said: “The arguments of the Ijaws are weaker. That an Ijaw governor should come in 2015 is weaker because Ada George and Melford Okilo have been elected governor; they can say it was old Rivers State — even in old Rivers State, the Ogonis should be in the right position to contest for the governorship. Yes, I will prefer an Ijaw man to become governor any day, anytime but when you are fighting oppression, you should fight it anywhere you see it. When you fight discrimination, you should fight it anywhere you see it.

“And in Rivers State, I believe the people who have the moral authority to produce the next governor of Rivers State are the Ogonis.”

Dokubo, however, expressed optimism that the contentious issue would be amicably resolved by the relevant stakeholders at the appropriate time and “wiser counsel will prevail”.

Some elders of the PDP in Rivers State had, last week, warned against ethnicising the party’s governorship ticket.

It is unwise to think the ibis voted for Jonathan cos of the name Azikiwe. Everyone knew he wasn't Ibo but ibos feel more comfortable with a South south man in charge compared to some northerner. And for ur research about the name Ebele.

rivers state was created for the ijos and we only gave respite to the Igboid groups by helping create bayelsa in '96.if they continue their noisemaking, we'd cede the governorship to the opobos permanently! and that would be quite easy kos the ogonis,the Ijo and the ekpeyes won't mind supporting those Igboid Ijos of opobo instead of the toutish ikwerre

He said an Ikwerre man had no business in Rivers Government House in 2015, adding that it would amount to political suicide for PDP to field Wike in the next election.

Dokubo said the Ogoni should be supported to produce the next governor in the interest of justice and fair play, adding that it is only the Ogoni cluster that has not produced the governor of the state.

“As far as we all know, there are three ethnic clusters in Rivers State: the Ijaws, the Igbos (Ikwerre is part of the Igbo cluster) and the Ogonis. After Bayelsa was excised from Rivers State, the Igbos have ruled for many years. Odili was an Idoni Igbo; he ruled for eight years. Omehia/Amaechi, who is also Ikwerres, by 2015 would have ruled for more than eight years, making over 16 years,” he explained.

Insisting that it is impossible for an Ikwerre man to emerge as successor of the incumbent governor Rotimi Amaechi, he said: “It is morally wrong for any anybody to say that Igbo cluster should produce the next governor in 2015. I am an Igbo man also, by virtue of my origin, and so I am not against the Ikwerre people or against the Igbo. I repeat, I am an Igbo man; I can narrow it down: I have Ikwerre blood flowing in my veins.

“Having said that, the next cluster are the Ijaws, made up of the Kalabaris, the Obolo and Ibani people, the Wakrike; Okirika is just one town in Wakrike, Ukoro and others. These people have produced a governor. In terms of local government spread, they are in 11 local government areas out of the 23 local government areas; the Igbos are spread in eight and the Ogonis in four local government areas.

“In terms of population, when you remove the cosmopolitan population of Port Harcourt and Obiakpor, which is about 80 per cent of the population, is non-indigenous of those local governments. That is old non-Rivers indigenes and Rivers indigenes, who are not indigenes of Port Harcourt and Obiakpor local governments. If you remove those populations, the Ijaws are the majority as a single block.

“When you look at that, for somebody to say another Ikwerre man should become governor is wrong. Yes, constitutionally, he has a right to aspire, everybody is free to aspire, but it is not moral, it is not right. Something can be legally right but it might not be morally right.”

Making a case for the Ogoni, Dokubo said the age-long domination and oppression of the Ogoni people must end in 2015.

According to him, it would be unjust and unfair to continue to exclude the Ogoni in the scheming for the highest political office in the state. The Ogonis are the only people who have never produced governor because the whole Bayelsa that left were Ijaw people, he stated.

“So if we are saying there should be justice in Rivers State… if we are crying against domination by others, we should not also oppress other people. The people that morally should be allowed to produce the next governor of Rivers State is the Ogoni cluster made up of the Ogonis proper and the Eleme people.”

Dokubo expressed surprise that Patience Jonathan feigned ignorance of the homogenous nature and political reality in the state by openly identifying with the minister to clinch the top job in the state in 2015.

“The first lady need not to be told that it is morally and politically wrong for her to support another Ikwerre man by 2015, after the Igbo bloc would have spent over 16 years. She has every right to support who she wants but that must be done in a morally and politically correct direction and manner.”

Debunking the claim of his Ijaw kinsmen to the coveted seat in 2015, he said: “The arguments of the Ijaws are weaker. That an Ijaw governor should come in 2015 is weaker because Ada George and Melford Okilo have been elected governor; they can say it was old Rivers State — even in old Rivers State, the Ogonis should be in the right position to contest for the governorship. Yes, I will prefer an Ijaw man to become governor any day, anytime but when you are fighting oppression, you should fight it anywhere you see it. When you fight discrimination, you should fight it anywhere you see it.

“And in Rivers State, I believe the people who have the moral authority to produce the next governor of Rivers State are the Ogonis.”

Dokubo, however, expressed optimism that the contentious issue would be amicably resolved by the relevant stakeholders at the appropriate time and “wiser counsel will prevail”.

Some elders of the PDP in Rivers State had, last week, warned against ethnicising the party’s governorship ticket.

You read again

He said categorically that he got Igbo blood
So I think you missed that area

What is happening here?

For the last few weeks, on the orders of General Scatter, we ceased hostilities with the yeebos but it is clear that these group of people are destined to be animals and enjoy being beaten and destroyed.

This is a thread about Ikwerre and Iboes and yet from no where, your greatest fear- the great YORUBA race managed to get into the discourse. We have animals like odenigboaroli, babyosisi, tonychristopher denigrating and insulting the great YORUBA race.

You will hear from us very soon

Cordially,

When someone is heart broken, the beautiful bride charade completely destroyed in his eyes, he'll cry left and right. Evident this guy. I'm curious, since the entire igbo on this thread have uniformly informed you they find ikwerre as a bunch of lazy and want nothing to do with una, Infact want you ikwerre to STOP everything concerning Igbo aka change your language, culture, your names, stop joining our groups etc; why the f2k are you still trying to imply any Igbo want Ikwerre. Are you that much in tears that the "beautiful bride" you thought igbo saw your people as is completely demolished and a straight lie instead we see una as an ugly troll. Hey ya Udo oo

Chai!!!

See destruction!

I'm sure that Ikwerre loser is finding it hard to come to terms with the bitter truth that he and his people are yesterday's news.
The boy obviously believed the trash he was accustomed to reading on Nairaland, and thought the Igbo posters would be happy to read about Amaechi's proclamation.
Now e don do am like film to find out that, on a general level, we Igbos want nothing to do with him and his lazy people. Of what significance are the Ikwerre never-do-wells to us?
How many Ikwerre people are even respected on a national level let alone international level? Can they just name one enterprise they can point to as an Ikwerre creation? Can they just name one financial body they play any key roles in?

These people have been so dumb, useless and close-minded all their lives that they think having oil in their land is the greatest of acheivements. Now that oil is fast losing value, can they now see how worthless they are as a people?

Let me even say it, I have more respect for the Benue man who harvests tomatoes, rice and yams, because it takes great skill, patience, hardwork and determination to till the soil, plant the crops, prune for pests and nurture till maturity, than just sitting your dumb, useless and unproductive butt on a pavement and waiting for a foreign company (Shell) to drill your oil and give you money. The Ikwerre people did not 'plant' the oil in there. As a matter of fact, the Ikwerre people contributed nothing to the production of the oil, none of the companies drilling the oil has an Ikwerre as the founder or CEO, so honestly speaking, Ikwerre people are completely useless. If Ikwerre people were all to die from malaria, it wouldn't change anything as the oil would still be drilled. In fact, the companies would be happy because that would mean less money to spend on dumb indigenous youth members who threaten to vandalize pipes.
Even the oil blocs are owned by Core Northerners, so in addition to being completely useless, Ikwerre people are hostages on their own land.
I have more respect for those middle belt farmers and Fulani cattle herdsmen than I'll ever have for a lazy, dumb, degenerate Ikwerre; so Ikwerre people even trying to claim superiority because of oil is just laughable to me.
They just got served real bad by fate.

Abeg, Ikwerres, stay on your lane. We Igbos have NOTHING in common with you.

Good day.

Rotimi you are not Igbo, simple and short. Your tribe committed the worst atrocities against the Igbos. Besides, the betrayal during the war, your fathers who were busy drinking kai kai when Igbos were building Port-harcourt seized the whole properties in the name of #abandoned properties. You only claim Igbo during election period. Again, you are not Igbo, you are Saboteurs.

You have spoken the heart of millions! Ask contractors working in Rivers what they go through even in education projects. These ikwere ppl collect huge sums b4 allowing a project that will benefit their own people to go on. I say that this tribe is the worst in Nigeria. Upon all the money they are cornering, they can't boast of a single entrepreneur

i gave up on ikwerre people around 1967 AD and i have not chnged my position....it just hurts that they bear igbo name and igbo culture they are practising, but we hate and i mean we hate to associate with them....


they are despicable

benson81:
Hahahahahaha,Na wa becos of election ikwerre man don agree say em be ibo man

I no know say you sef see am!

Whether he's Igbo or not or trying to locate Igbo communities in Rivers is not in question...WE KNOW ROTIMI AMAECHI ISN'T IGBO. That doesn't even faze me at all that he said that, it could even be said to be laughable at the very least -that's the level these folks can sink to- , considering how much these folks from Rivers like dissociating totally from Igbos

The annoying and very insulting point here for me however is that, Rotimi Amaechi thinks we are so gullible and brain-dead that they think all they need to campaign is to point out the Igbos among them. Bunch of human beings I don't have the proper adjective to qualify.

ChinemeOkpan:


Fully Endorsed!

The way lazy ikwerre with their xenophobia killed young men at choba the nation blamed it on Igbo

For posterity reasons we Igbo have disclaimed and dis associated ourselves from ikwerre

They are black sheep in Igbo family

Let the world be aware

HopeAtHand:
Igbo people who are undoubtedly the under-acheivers of Nigerias 3major tribes will always come online and rant unnecessarily and relentlessly over nothing in particular.

Ikwerres are not the reason why in your natural Igbo greed decided to outfox the other 2 major tribes and ended up cornering yourselves into a position where you now contest popularity with smaller tribes of Nigeria.

It is a shameful thing that you Igbos are viewed as greedy, self-attaching people...Politically Igbos have been found out to be directionless, and small-time players without any collective unity of purpose.

Igbos seriously need to sort themselves out and tow a united path else they will continue in political boy-boyism.

Say anything about Igbos mate, and you may be right. But they definitely are not self-attaching.
Under-acheivers you say, you may be right. Bit then, glad you know this, glad you all admit that policies were created to ensure this many years ago, and now you're happy with the result
