theDEVILisHERE:


Very correct
Igweocha is a town occupied by igbo speaking groups of biafra land
The name Igweocha is an igbo word that means "white sand" (in relation to the soil of the area)

Slave master mr harcourt should not have his name used to change the name of a town older than his great grand father

Igweocha is and will rem

ain a town/city in biafra land

Oga please enough of these igweocha nonsense you guys are spewing here,Port Harcourt was renamed long ago,so with other states n cities.You people can be very annoying at times.There are ijaws in ondo states but the other ijaws don't bug them with their history. Can we all get along and be diplomatic in our dealings with one another please.If we can't achieve biafra in peace,lets move on with Nigeria instead stooping so low n being denigrated by nonetities out of desperation.

TonyeBarcanista:

You see your life? You are now calling the Great Ogba nation as "confused". Are you the one that confused them? Do you know the relationship of the Ogba nation and the Binis? Should they have called their king Amayanabo or Sultan? Your comment is provocating.

Anyway, the Ogbas are active and equal partners in Rivers state. Very rich in mineral and human resources. The people of Rivers state is proud to call them worthy brothers irrespective of our distinct ethnic groups.

my dear tonye , all these problems will only be solve if they speaks your language and it s intelligible to you..

But for now, there s a problems. And with time we shall take away the confusion out of them just like the way rotimi ameachi was confused to uttered the word igbo and rivers man.

This tribes bearing our fathers name and our lovely languages re confused.

You as an okrika man, you re happy to claimed ijaws, because you don't want to be confused like them.
So any confused being does not know where he came from?
See what happens in oputa panel in 2002,when he s denying his igbo ancestry then they reminded the man of his name and he was confused.


This people re confused set of people in rivers state maybe because
they have other tribes with them, I don't know, but what I know is that, they re confused men.

Even in the bible, the people were building the tower of babel, but God confused them with languages, and each and everyone of them looks for someone that can speaks his/her languages and they move on like brothers and sisters.

When there was war in 1967 to 70, they killed a lot of delta igbo cos of their names and languages re similar to that of the great ndigbos while rivers igbo denied their igboness in other to be saved from the zoogeria soldiers

Is not bad uniting with our brothers and sisters the way you want your people in okrika to unites and formed unity with the great ijaws people.

If they don't want us, they should drop our languages and speaks ijaw language. Then we can take them serious too.

Not when chukwuma from rivers state stole billions of naira, the Southwest will labelled him omo igbo.

So bro ,let me stop here. We will continue to stand on our views about them until they speak ijaw languages and it s intelligible to you.

Onenaira3 hope u no dey vex for us .

Biafra will stand.

To the Niger deltans falling for this biafra shit, have you seen ibos don't care about you but how to exploit and dominate you.
They tricked Victor banjo into their scam, they killed him when he discovered their true intentions. They almost tricked Awolowo too.
We all want to end this parasitic system through true federalism and resource control, not some break away scam

Obiagu1:


You can joke and mock as you wish, when reality sets in, you'll know. I remember Wiwa was like you until he ate a humble pie, ran to the Igbo for support but we paid no heed to him.

Again, we don't need you.
Duru1 has always been a wise man.

I'm not mocking you bro.

We wanted the Biafra thing ,all we wanted was for the terms to be clearly stated but you started on the wrong note by saying that Igbos own Port Harcourt and even attempt to rename it and we protested we were greeted with insults which means in the real world and if reality comes into play we would be greeted with bullets for objecting to what you want and say.
You do not have respect for us and we are simply paying you back in your own coin.

Obiagu1:


Another he said she side.
No wonder Northerners will keep winning.

It is a pity the yorubas and hausas will get the people with their mindset to scuttle the Biafran dream. I think we should start writing the Biafran constitution now with every tribe's contribution and input. With 100% resources control, provincial autonomy, exit clause and what have you to allay fears.

Let's write and publish it, so that we can compare it with what we have in nigeria. We must leave feudal nigeria by all means neccessary. #AnythingButnigeria.

The way these Igbo guys write on NL seems like they own anything, like they control anything..

These are migrants who travel from their various villages into Rivers in search of livelihood and next thing they start provoking sensibilities of their host.

PH is not Lagos where the Yoruba tolerate Igbo excesses..What works for you in Lagos will not work here.. Igbos will never learn, maybe until history repeats itself

It will be very good if they learn from history and desist from provocative acts. Even we, indigens of Rivers are very mindful of our words when it comes to territories, not to talk of outsiders. Anyway, no need to waste energy on them when we know that it's an exercise in futility.

Biafra will stand.

1, It is their prerogative to decide who they are. They said they aren't Igbos, that's it. If they decide otherwise, that's still it.

2. Okrika is not trying to "unite with Ijaw" sir! Okrika is 100% Ijaw and has always been.

3. We should learn to allow people define themselves and not fight them because they call themselves what we 'think' they are not.

atbu1983:


You are d one who has falsified history.
Nzeogu who was from Midwest(South south) who had clear national revolutionary vision to transform nigeria. He took care of d coup in the North himself and did a good Job. It was d Igbo(South east) soldier maj. Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna (Igbo man from Onitsha) who were in charge of eliminating Nnamdi Azikiwe who betrayed him by derailing his plan by claiming Azikiwe escaped. Thus it was d Igbos who made d coup sectional by thier actions.

Nzeogwu is from the tribe South South?.........LOL
Guy I am convinced that you can unseat AY as the king of comedy in Nigeria.
Yours is pure raw talent, don't waste it.

HopeAtHand:


101%

Oh nice.
I'll like you to comment on what I said earlier which is the opinion of some key players in IPOB, a way to settle the dual ownership of PH.
This is based on how the provinces are organized: Igboid, Ijoid, Edoid, Ibiboid and Igalla/Idoma.

Read:

Portharcourt's original name was Igweocha.
There's Ikwerre part and there's Okrika part and the natives know where the boundaries are.

If Biafra becomes a country, Ikwerre part would be renamed Igweocha if Ikwerres agree or go with Igbo Portharcourt and the other part Ijaw Portharcourt with both sides administered separately by the Igbo Province and the Ijaw Province or by Biafra and by Nigeria depending on how we end up.

This is not unusual. We have Niagara Falls, Canada and Niagara Falls, USA; and Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and Lloydminster, Alberta both in Canada and some other cases where a city is shared by different states/provinces.

atbu1983:


Anioma people have always trace thier history to Benin not Igbo. The word Anioma is a recent word created less than 60 years ago by Igbo sympathisers.

Go to the Anioma towns and villages, clans are named "Idumu" exactly like d benin.

The fact that the voice of Igbo people have be so loud in calling Anioma people Igbo doesnt not make them Igbo.

Just d way they are shouting PortHarcourt is Igbo, have few people like you kept quiet they would have made d whole world believe so.

Most people on nairaland claiming Anioma are not from Anioma. They are igbo impersonating Anioma

Keep Ranting all over d place.
You actually think Ika and generally Anioma is going to be part of your Niger Delta Republic?
What a dunce.
was it not your people that were calling us immigrant in our own land and treating to send us back to SE?
you must be a clown.

when did we renamed portharcourt that s already an igbo town or answering igbo name?
Must you protests? Did biafra succeeded to break away from nigeria yet?

Why una dey fear like this?

The fear of the igbos in nigeria is the beginning of heart attacks .
na wa o.

Biko nwelu nwayo .

Truckpusher:
There are no Igbos in SS and this is what I'm talking about.

We are a distinct group that share some cultural attributes with the Igbos and that doesn't make us Igbos and this is the crux of the matter.

Don't you think its only demented people that will call a people drunk fiishermen and the others aggresive yiboows but yet want to stay with them. You want federalism so that you can easily take over properties of non-indigenes while still receiving oil allocation from those "strangers lands'.
Biafra is offering 100% resource control, can you offer that? won't you die of hunger in osun? Can you
survive it?
Didn't you yorubas connive with the north to shoot down 25%-50% resource control in the NA and confab. When you yorubas say resource control, mention the figure you support and stop being as slippery as you are known.

Dear brothers, with the recent turn of events in Nigerian politics, the wike and his fellow supporters who promised to crush us a few days ago are now standing alone, along with his brothers whom the northern elites are working hard to remove to have an easy access towards OML renewal.
Please, let us steer clear, the Igbos are done playing big brother, let us see if the tiny supporters of wike can overthrow the north, southwest and even their south-south brothers.
They have betrayed us countless number of times, let them learn this time.

My friend stop making noise in the Internet.Stop riding on Igbos to rekindle your friendship with your long lost yoruba friends.
1st,it was igbos protesting in Port Harcourt,now it has turned to igbos claiming port Harcourt.All I discerned from their argument which you are now twisting is that a part of port Harcourt was formerly called igweocha which consists of igbo migrants,its all about history n nothing more.Nobody is claiming Port Harcourt as igboland neither is anyone forcing anybody to belong anywhere.Stop feeling funky simply because your fellow Internet warriors were trying to associate with you on Biafra levels.
You never said this pre-election period,as soon as election was over,u put on ur hypocritical glasses to accuse igbos of what u are doing.Just like Edwin Clark dumped his brother Jonathan after election.
Please stop seeking attention n issuing stupid warnings here.Nonsense

See y1boman's sense.

After achieving the set objective, can't you use your numerical advantage to alter the same constitution to reverse all what you agreed on before?

TonyeBarcanista:

I know what you are up to but I won't go your lane. If you think you can misbehave on our land, I wish you well. We aren't known for noise-making or threats but again I wish you well.

The only advice I will give is that you should stop putting your kits and kin in PH and other Ijawlands at risk due to your provocative statement. Ijaws don't tolerate! Hope you employ sanity and civility. If you choose to continue on this path, then I wish you well!

i dont live in your lands,i cant even invest there, my people came there for businesses and transaction,the act of buying and selling, so we re not claiming ijaws or okrika ok..
get that into your skull. What we biafrans are saying is that ph belongs to ikwerre and that s all..
So why the mention of ijawland ,re you trying to bring them in here?
Wetin consign igboman with yenogoa, which is ijawland.
But as for igweocha(PH) BELONGS To ikwerres.
Shekina..

The whole Biafra setup isnt favourably to Ikwerre, therefore, we arent interested.

It is high time these Ijaw, Bini and Esan quit screaming south south and Niger-delta like it's one people. There are about 40 ethnic groups and 250 languages in that region. Comprising of igbo, ibibio, Efik, ijaw, annang , uhrobo, itsekiri, isoko etc .

Truckpusher and Tonyebarcanista should speak for there ijaw people and nation. STOP THE REFERING TO SOUTH-SOUTH AS ONE PEOPLE.
YOU CANT ACCUSE IGBOS OF TRY TO CHANGE PEOPLE IDENTITY UNDER BIAFRA WHILST YOU DO THE SAME UNDER THE GUISE OF NIGER-DELTA OR SOUTH SOUTH. it is plain hypocrisy

Look at this fool, what did your representative at the fake confab present? Did anyone dare to raise his voice at an hausa fulani. What are your reps at the national assembly doing today other than following a yoruba thief up and down to court .

Biafra offers resource control by first renaming PH.

Truckpusher:
Come! stop deceiving yourself ,so did your vote change the outcome of the election?

That you voted for Jonathan was purely your own prerogative and you were not on gunpoint when you voted and it was purely for your own interest - Go figure.

Stop using Jonathan to scam the SS ,this issue here is about ethnicity/regional and not political issue - Politics is all about interest and you voted for your interest and not for the love you have for the Niger Delta - GEJ gave you more juicy appointments and made policies to favor your business man that were already big than the present so?

My friend get out of here,using which useless election to spam who,what have you achieved or got that the Igbos have not.If Edwin Clark can dump GEJ after election what more will I expect from an Internet warrior like you.
Igbos are irritating you now,you can no more accomodate them because they are refugees.What is in port Harcourt that is not in onitsha,aba,enugu or owerri.
You sit down here n insult us because we extended friendship to you.If you have any issue with any comment call the person out in a nice way n stop being micheavous ous.Get out of here with your junk reply biko.
