Ekpeye is not Igbo but closely related in every way. To me the language sounds like a more ancient speech form of what evolved into modern Igbo.

lols.
he said Ekpeye are not igbo.
what a funny dude

Please learn from Igbos who are willing to tell the truth as it is.

Abagworo knows Rivers in and out..he isnt one to see reality and say something else..Afam4Eva is another truthful guy but because sometimes the truth is painful to admit, he refrains from it.

HopeAtHand:


Oshimini Bekee is not a bad man.When pushed to the wall, you react..Ikwerres reacted to Igbo maltreatment.

It is just a true life message to those who use undue advantage to disenfranchise people..when opportunity arises, they will pay back in same wage.

That aside, there are still other atrocities the Igbos committed during the war that makes some Ikwerres despise them till date...we remember those buried alive by biafran soldiers..make una no worry..

The Ikwerres were not singled out in the atrocities during the war from both FG and rebels. War comes with atrocity. The Igbos have a problem with handling opposing views that might even be better for them. Don't you see how they labelled me a traitor for supporting Buhari. Same with Amaechi and Okorocha. They view Wike as a hero. If this were during the war they would have called for the head of Okorocha and Amaechi who are Igbo and Ikwerre respectively not because of their ethnicity but for being anti-Biafra.

So Ekpeye isnt Igbo but Ikwerre is..you see your life??

So Akalaka gave birth to Ekpeye and Iwhronha and you decided Ekpeye is Ekpeye and Iwhrohna is Igbo..na wah oh..

Here are raw data and statistics on Nigerian Oil Production.





Oil production Figures
National Production = 1,605,000 barrels per day (One Million, 605 Thousand barrels) as at timing of report.
Current Production hovers around 2.5-2.7 Million barrels per day

Total National Oil reserves 37.2 Billion Barrels
Producer ranks:

1 - Akwa Ibom
2 - Delta
3 - Rivers
4 - Bayelsa
5 - Ondo
6 - Edo
7 - Imo
8 - Abia



How much does each Oil producing state obtain from the 13% derivation formula?


Note: Cross River state's former oil wells have been ceded to Akwa Ibom after boundary adjustment. (Hence the blank)

Additional Liquid and Semi-liquid Hydrocarbon resources in Nigeria (Reserves)
Nigeria has 42 Billion barrels more of oil in the form of extractable Heavy Oils, from large bitumen belts lying dormant.

Op good work. But I wish you could also let us have list of indigenous technology developed and patented by Nigeria in the oil industry history of Nigeria.
Thinking outside this to me is like strolling in the garden of mediocrity

So Akalaka gave birth to Ekpeye and Iwhronha and you decided Ekpeye is Ekpeye and Iwhrohna is Igbo..na wah oh..

Akalaka gave birth to Ekpeye and Ogba. Recently some people started adding Ikwerre because of few Akalaka linked migrants to Emohua and concluded that ikuruoda is Iwhuruohna but that is not for me.

Iwhuruoha is simply Ihuoha in Igbo which translates to face of Oha. What is Oha? Oha title is still taken in all of old Owerri district which includes Ohaji, Etche, Ngor, Oratta and Ikwerre. All these people are related.

If you want to trace the backbone of Ikwerre origin then the evolution of Aro merchants, medicine men and oracles is the answer.

Which rogue boundary adjustment is that? What were the ceded communities?
the boundary of Ondo state has remained the same since the days of the Old western region.
If anything , they should have allowed the Itsekiris of the three Warri LGA'S to vote to join the Western region as an hypothetical Warri state, or the Mid-West at its creation.

Don't mind the ignoramus...
If indeed there was boundary adjustment then I guess t would have ceded my home community to another state.

@ the bolded, I @ a time heard of a proposed coastal state that will involve the coastline ilajes Ijaws and itsekiris. I don't know what killed the agitation. Do u have an idea of this?

So, despite all the noises emanating from the flathe.ads, a single state in SW produces more oil than all yiboland combined ...

ShiiiiShiiiiShiiiiShiiiiShiiiiShiiii *laughs in gekko morriahs voice*


No wonder they want to steal pH and attaché themselves by force to south south .. Awon ole

kettykin:
Ondo state became an oil producing state through rogue boundary adjustment perpetrated during the regime of olusegun obasanjo.
Niger delta should continue to play dumbness and stupidity.
The same obasanjo wanted to take gas from brass to OK lng until Jonathan miraculously stepped in to power.
This is the real reason why yorubas never forgave Jonathan.

Look at this goat! When did Arogbo and Apoi communities start producing oil? Is there any oilfield located in these communities?
Shameless Cursed losers who render no importance to Nigeria!

IlekeHD:


Noisemaking. Did they also curve out Lagos state from Rivers?


Looking at the map, I can now understand why Ibos want the forced SS/SE relationship and their renewed claim on Ijawlands.

You are a disease infected maggot
Better get a life
Bigoted soul
Get out

pazienza:
Well, I guess if I did some boundary adjustments that would involve specially and carefully carving out the oil producing areas of Ondo into Delta state, and granting the Ilajes and the Arogbo/ apoi Ijaws minority status and distinct ethnicities in Delta state, as was done to the oil producing parts of Southern Igboland that ended up in Rivers state.

I guess we will have a different picture here, wouldn't we?

You are a fool for that statement!
Come and change my ethnic na!
And which oilfield is found in Arogbo/apoi communities?
Pathetic losers of no value!

I recognise the fact that all Ikwerres do not have common ancestry that is why i always reference my LGA Emohua when making Ikwerre arguments.

Saying Iwhrohna was added as Akalaka son for convenience is deceptive as i can name towns and communities that are direct descendants of Iwhronha in Emohua LGA..also i can name towns that emigrated from Ekpeye into ikwerreland and are as of now adressed as Ikwerres..can you also lay claim to those people as Igbos?

PH and Ikwerre, together with the Ekpeyes have always been in the Ahoada division under Rivers
Asaba was also under Benin division, while Kwale was in Aboh division under Delta
Infact, it was the Ndokis who were a bone of contention between Rivers and Owerri divisions who were ceded to the latter.

Pa Scholes, you get time o, this guys have a premeditated opinion even Jesus can't change, they would keep twisting the truth. The best way to deal with them is to keep annoying them with foolish comments weh go make dem waan from phone enter you house.

Look at you..Who said the british never lumped efik into Ibibio and egagham...you should go and research and come back.

Even in present day Nigeria, can one who isnt efik or ibibio differentiate them easily without help..stop sounding naive..u used to give better arguments..

As for my being Ikwerre or not, i restate again that i have nothing to prove to you or anyone on nL...wether you believe or not, i don't care.

Annang, Efik, Ibibios maintained distinct entities right in the Eastern house. Your argument hold no water.

No British forced Ikwerre reps to identify as Ikwerre- Ibos.
They only did so because they were Ibos and considered themselves one with other Ibos of Owerri province.

The British never lumped Efik, Ibibios and Annang together, they had a collective name for them all, but they knew their distinctions, and Efiks Annangs and Ibibios insisted on those distinctions from the very beginning, and so it remained.

That Ikwerres once identified as Ibos before 1970 is a historical fact.

And that some Ikwerres still identify with Ndiigbo up to this very moment is also a fact.

I don't even believe Ikwerres are Igbos to start with. What I only have my reservations on is the distorted history which does no one any good. For example origin of Oguta is very clear. Migration from border of Benin and Igbo around Agbor in Delta State, settlement at Aboh and eventual crossing of rivers to Orashi bank in Imo State but never have we used that as evidence of not being Igbo because we believe that you are what God made you be and speak. When you visit Oguta you will know there was definitely contact with Benin of old. Even some names like Ossai, Adesuwa, Oputa et al are evidence of Benin links. If you come to Kingship you can as well clearly see the Benin traces in ruling house and King makers. You will see the Iyasara and Umudei.

Compare with Ikwerre where everything is exactly like Owerri now claiming to have migrated from Benin. Was there any King in Ikwerreland not to talk of Benin styled monarchial system? What words does Ikwerre retain from Benin language like Oguta or Onitsha?

The migratory roots of Ikwerre suggests a stop at Etche and Southwesterly movement towards Elele and Isiokpo from where further dispersal was made. There were equally Okrika, Kalabari, Igbo and Ekpeye later migrations but the backbone remains the Elele-Isiokpo area or present day Ikwerre LGA.
