Is it not clear that the Eastern Railway at Diobu was formerly known as Iguocha and NOT the entire Portharcourt City? This is easy to comprehend.


Can't it be inferred that Iguocha, other Ikwerre farmlands/towns and Okrika Fishing camps makes up portharcourt? Is this not clear? So when did the whole PHC become Iguocha? Is Iguocha, a town in Diobu(as at then) now Igbo owned or Ikwerre owned?


For the upteenth time, PHC is not Iguocha or Igweocha and has never been. Parts of Portharcourt? Maybe, just like every other towns that makes up the citu. But if the Ikwerres wants it renamed(their parts), it is between the RVSG, Ikwerre people and Okrika people

My friend you are sounding more and more hollow. SMH.
It is painful to watch an otherwise intelligent man commit logical "sepuku" rather than accept simple truth.
What do you mean by that Port Harcourt can never be Iguocha? Are you blind? Can't you read historical document presented to you in black and white?
I thank God for other Ijaws here like Dearpreye. I would have thought that all Ijaws are hopeless.
Drop it man!

According to the authoritative Wikipedia,

"Port Harcourt (Igbo: Ụ́gwụ́ Ọ́chá,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][Note 3] Pidgin: "Po-ta-kot"[3][Note 4] is the capital of Rivers State, Nigeria. It lies along the Bonny River and is located in the Niger Delta. According to the 2006 Nigerian census Port Harcourt has a population of 1,382,592. The port was built in 1912, but not given a name until August 1913, when the Governor of Nigeria, Sir Frederick Lugard, named it "Port Harcourt" in honor of Lewis Vernon Harcourt, then the Secretary of State for the Colonies.[12][16]

The area that became Port Harcourt in 1912 was before that part of the farmlands of the Diobu village group of the Ikwerre, an Igbo sub-group. [17] The colonial administration of Nigeria created the port to export coal from the collieries of Port Harcourt (Igbo: Ụ́gwụ́ Ọ́chá,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][Note 3] Pidgin: "Po-ta-kot"[3][Note 4] is the capital of Rivers State, Nigeria.

Any attempt to rewrite the history of the Igbos will not work! Ignorance and hatred are diseases, free yourself from them.

pazienza:
PH belongs to Ikwerre- Igbos
Just as Aba belongs to Ngwa- Igbos.

If Ikwerres refuse to be fully part of Biafra, then they become to us, what Taiwan is to China. ie an independent region/ country, affiliated to Biafra and part and parcel of Biafra commonwealth.

To all the hawks in Arewa-Oduanistan and defunct Eastern region eyeing PH,and expecting Biafra to secede without PH, you lots are high on fanta. Tell me the major effort you have taken about this breaking off from Nigerian apart from Kanu foolish effort ranting on naira land won't help you we want to see intelligent and organized procedures


Continue dreaming, open more impostor Ikwerre monikers if that will make you sleep better.

Igbos are so pathetic, so insolent and so stubborn-headed. This ur stupidity is very good. Do U know how much the Ikwerres hate Igbos. The atrocities Igbos committed against us has not healed and here U are opening fresh episode. During the Biafra war, Igbos were busy transferring Ikwerres to their dry and rainless land and then taking our wet-fertile lands. That's why My father told me never to marry from Igbo.
To the Okrikans, U were busy burying them alive.
I was hoping we the south-south could 4give U but with this I say a big NO. I will enlighten my people and we shall never 4get that history wants to repeat itself, so U have plans to bury us alive again. WICKED IGBOS, GOD WILL FOREVER REMEMBER HOW U BURIED US ALIVE

gocac:
That's why you igbos will remain third class citizens of Nigeria. Port harcourt belongs to the igbos! So so annonying... to hear sh.t. Ok na come and claim port harcourt. We are watching.

Lagos is noman's land. PH is Ikwere land and Ijaw shud keep off. Ikwere is an igbo sub group. Enugu gave birth to PH

Ciscogod:
If lagos is a no man's land as u just said. If later biafra dream comes to past. Whose region will control lagos?

NOBLEDANDY:
Third class citizens??
Cry me a river...
What has the first class citizens benefitted...? Nothing..
What of second class? Same nothing...
In this Nigeria the best citizens as of now are Igbos...
But is too small to our respect and expectation...
We need biafra to maximize our opportunities in reaching our expectations...
That's why we want Biafra...
You can chop all the classes of citizen and continue suffering and smiling...
While the igbos continue soaring higher and higher... Fool...

Besides Igbos are coming back to take back their land...
Better prepare well bc by then there will be no recognize state in Nigeria as Nigeria will not even smell to come and side you....

biafranking:
