Ikwerre man speaks Igbo? Comedian General, Nairaland association of psychotic minds.

Since they have told you emphatically where they belong, why don't you face your Biafra to Adamawa? Most of you Rodents of Nnamdi kalu, I feel sorry for most of you, Ojukwu did not forget the battle of Portharcourt and so shall Kalu meet his surprise when the time comes.
Carve a Biafra without a sea port, without oil and build the Jericho that will marvel the zoo.
I have said it countless times that the average Igbo man on the street have no idea where his interest lie.
Same way they were forming APGA-PDP when their mates were forming APC, we are watching.

Being a morron is not an admirable trait. I have been going to Ikwere land since 2000. What the they speak is unadulterated Igbo. Their Igbo is even clearer than some communities in the SE.

I don't know why your trying so hard to claim Ikwerre people, is there any Ikwerre person that own a MFB or a filling station anywhere in Nigeria that will make somebody to want to be with them.

Which Ikwerre indigene is internationally known or has done something spectacular, why are you bend on attaching to these people, what value do you think you can derive from them if not insults ?

zendy:
I see you have a penchant for talking nonsense. I asked a question here and you are talking off-point. If you meet a person who's language is Igbo and has an Igbo surname, is this person Igbo? I know many Ikwere who are proud to be Igbo while others reject there 'Igbones' because of oil. People like you are just after the Oil of the South-South people that's why you would be happy for the Ikwere Man to forget his Igbo identity. Let me tell you something, these people will choose Biafra over Nigeria any day because in truth, they gain nothing from Nigeria. Wether you like it or not, we Igbos and our kith and kin are going to leave this "Whiteman fabricated camp" you people call 'Nigeria' and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Biafra is not negotiable.

You think that a Niger deltan will wish to switch from Master Nigeria to Master Biafra? what events in our history actually suggest that?
I don't really care what you tell yourself to feel good but I can tell you that given the opportunity, the Niger deltan will rather fight for self actualization than switching masters.
Make no mistakes, the Niger deltans recently fought a war of self determination with 6 active militant groups to control their resources, they did not invite the Biafrans, as a matter of undisputed fact, Izon and Itshekiri are still in a war of attrition till date, never mind that they had a bloody confrontation last decade for this same reason and you think time has changed because a lunatic like Nnamdi Kalu in far away London is telling you otherwise?
You must not remind the world that you were born r@tarded. A surprise await you Biafrans in the delta, Ojukwu's bloody nose will be child's play, continue foooling yourselves.

zendy:
In other words, it makes more sense for the Niger-Delta Man to stay in Nigeria and have 3 masters (Igbo/Hausa/Yoruba) than to be in Biafra and have only one? It makes more sense to the Niger-Delta Man to share his Oil wealth with the entire Nigeria because in Biafra "He will share it with only Igbos". I'm struggling not to laugh. The Niger-Delta Man is fighting for resource control while a major conspiracy was hatched and executed just few months ago that kicked a Niger-Delta man out of office and took all political control from you people. Who were the only people who stood by GEJ and the Niger-Delta to the end? There is no need for too much argument. If the Niger-Delta are are happy to continue being slaves in Nigeria while everybody enjoys there Oil money, I'm all for it too. Obviously your not from the Niger-Delta because no Niger-Delta man can be this stupiid.

Ibos cannot rule Nigeria in its present state....until the people are able to evolve...... .....also ibos amongst Nigerians are d last set of people to emigrate to lagos....as a result of the war.... ....lagos was already way developed by then......ibos should try and develop their lands and stay there instead of deluding themselves that they are 'helping' others when we all know they are economic migrants....

If the above illustration is unadulterated igbo by your standards then trust me, the world mustn't know you were born r@tarded.
have you attended any Ikwerre function and compare with Igbo traditions? I dont think so
If you allow yourself to be deceived by a lunatic like Nnamdi Kalu then your education count for nothing.
There is no Nigerian language that is unique, that Efik and Ibibio sound alike doesn't mean they are one and the same people, same are their interests, only a r@tard will think otherwise.

Scholes007:
this shows you know little or nothing about the igbos. First ulo is a general igbo language for house. My clan uturu refer to house ebe-ete.
House in igbo = ulo
house in uturu = ebe-ete
house in isuochi = ohe
clan in igbo = mba
clan in uturu = ndi ohe
clan in isuochi = ama/onumara
greeting in igbo = ndeewo
equivalent in uturu = unu anodu o
equivalent in afikpo = jokwa
equivalent in ohafia = ka nuu
i think you take dialect differences as language differences. The rest you wrote up there is to cover you devious post.

Another comprehension deficient individual, dont always be in a hurry to type before reading just an advise!

Scholes007:
my friend stop playing a devils advocate and face the fact that you know nothing about what you are saying...you might think you are free from comprehension malfunction, take quick break down of what you wrote mr comprehensive man;
you brought some dialectal variation between ikwere and general igbo, then you tactically called ikwere adulterated (not pure) igbo. I on my own part was trying to let you know that there is nothing like adulterated igbo. There maybe some variation in igbo language but there is nothing like adultrated igbo as you assumed. Whether central igbo,ikwere, uturu, afikpo... There is nothing like adultrated igbo. All igbo is igbo.
And i maintain that your previous was a devious one.

jpphilips:
It was never about "dialectical variation", someone said that Ikwerre and Igbo are "unadulterated", identical by implication and I proved him wrong with those analogy, now go back to school and learn comprehension.

Being a morron is not an admirable trait. I have been going to Ikwere land since 2000. What the they speak is unadulterated Igbo. Their Igbo is even clearer than some communities in the SE.

Yoruba people created their own thread about yoruba people achievement and the are not interopted by igbo people because igbo people are always confident of their achievements,but NOW igbo people have opened a thread to highlight their achievement and yoruba people are already having HBP about it.are they being threaten by igbo people achievement? because I don't understand why the can't stay away from any thing igbo.
