Bia Hopeathand are you thinking of what you're saying at all? Which one is iwhnrohna republic,on top that you're saying Ogoni will like to be a country? How many countries will now come out of Rivers state? Get real man.
Go figure the reason for the killing of Ken Saro-Wiwa and come back to discuss.

Igbos arent the only ones thinking of a nation republic, almost every ethnicity want out.

In the process of self determination, allow everyone make their choice.
Unfortunately self determination, the way you guys take is not how Theodore Roosevelt presented it to the United Nations.
The united nations have not even made up their mind on what constitute people or peoples.
Bros let's work for a united and better Igbo nation and not chasing one shallow unrealistic pipe dream.

We are saying the same thing my 'ibo brother'. As 'sensible ibos' we must always support buhari even he kills 1 trillion Igbos. Don't mind the Ipod bigots instead of them to join us in supporting murderer Buhari the pedophile, they are just throwing tantrum because GEJ lost.

You are sensible my fellow 'yoruba muslim ibo' brother. Infact you the most detribalized 'ibo-born' yoruba muslim. grin grin grin
This ipod impersonating yoruba Muslim is here again! Aren't u tired? This propagAnda isn't working for u na! U re jus being too childish!

The thing has no standard spelling. Each of them keeps spelling it anyhow they want.

I have seen them spell it as Iwehurohna, Ihuruoha, Iwhurnohna, etc.

Funny thing, most if them are embracing the Iwhnruohna stuff because they believe that Ikwerre is too Igbo sounding, little do they know that Iwhnruohna ( IhuOha ie face of the people, ) is even more Igbo sounding.

One of them told me that the correct name of "Rumuokwuta" was "Amanweke" that it was Ibos in the Eastern region in attempt to make the town an Igbo town that renamed it "Umuokwuta".
And I started imagining if he even if he even knew that Amanweke sounds more Igbo.

The ignorance of these people is astonishing.

Isoma means Igbo in Ikwerre language.

Nwo Isoma shortened to Nwisoma is Igbo Child in Ikwerre.

I have no doubt that ikwerre is igboid in nature just like etche ahoda Kwale and many more.
The question is at what time does a dialect decide to graduate into a language and an ethnicity into a tribe.
One thing is certain even in core Igbo states, there is division.
I just want to be a better person first and foremost,
Make Ugwunabo a better and enviable place
And build the platform for a better abia state.
If I make it to the very top I will replicate that but for now, self betterment in all aspect is my aim,
Not lumping everything or everybody together.
The earlier we understand that for now Nigeria is one indivisible entity, the sooner we will start with mapping out plans to making Igboland great again.

Brother, I know that it's frustrating, but that's the nature of these people, and it can't be wished away, it must be accepted. They don't see Igbos in SE as brother, they see us as neighbors with potentials of metamorphosing into their colonial masters, and nothing you do or say will change that their perception.
I know that this reality is hard for an average Igbo man to accept, but it is how it is. Our numbers scare the hell out of these people.

If you put them into the proposed struggle, they will compromise it and set us up to Nigeria, and even use us to negotiate better deals from the Nigerian government, in exchange for helping them frustrate our exodus, they will do this without blinking of an eye or showing any remorse, because they don't see you as anything other than greedy coverteous neighbors.

Unfortunately, many Igbo youths are not aware of this reality of things, they are just so annoyingly naive and too innocent for such a serious venture they are embarking on, no one took time to investigate these things and advise them better.

Let them( the minorities) be in Nigeria or do whatever they want with themselves. Let's plan our struggle without including them in our plans, let's put heads together and come out with better ways to prevent another repeat of that events of 66-70.

When I first came to Rumudara, my ikwerre friends called me and my cousins Isoma.
My cousins told me to reply with Iwhnrohna, that was the name they decided to give them for calling them Isoma, since then, Ive always had a dislike for both names, as I believed them to be degradory, thanks for clearing it up.

I like realists, people who do not live in illusion, who do not chase pipe dreams and fantasy, but are real as to the exact situation of things.

To speedily achieve Biafra, SE Igbos should fashion and execute your plan within the 5 SE states framework and avoid unnecessarily bloating the Biafran dream especially with undecided Igboid ethnicities who overtime either by design or convenience has long decided to stand on their own.

It is a difficult road the Igbos have decided to walk, it is even more daunting trying to pull someone else along.
Re: Let's Focus On Igboland by Igboid:
"The earlier we understand that for now Nigeria is one indivisible entity, the sooner we will start with mapping out plans to making Igboland great again".

I strongly disagree agree with the above statement. Nigeria is not indivisible, no Man made entity is indivisible, we are just not being strategic enough in our plans, we are not hitting the hammer on the right places, this, current IPOB and MASSOB strategy has to be changed in its entirety, as it will lead to nothing other than loss of more innocent Igbo lives and failure.

Neither IPOB nor MASSOB did their homework well, you can't pass an exam without doing your homework.

Igboland is represented at all stages of governance in Nigeria by Igbo "rulers"( politicians) who are strongly pro Nigerian and anti Bia****, this is the first homework IPOB and co failed to solve.This should be the foundation of their struggle, yet it's being ignored.

Things don't exist in isolation, they exist on each other, you don't build castles on the air, there must be a strong solid foundation. This was how the Scottish pro seccession groups were able to get referendum out of Britain. A pro independent Scotland Scottish politician in Alex salmond was pushed to the very pinnacle of Scottish political power.

Is there no lesson for MASSOB and IPOB to learn from scotland? Or are they just interested only in ventilating on RB and sacrificing their lives sheepishly on the streets of Igboland, at the hands of trigger happy armed Nigeria security agents?

Where is the tact, pragmatism and strategy in this their movement, cos currently I see none.

When that referendum is carried out, your disappointment will know no bounds. You'll be surprised that Oyigbo and Etche may ditch Igbos like a leprous patient.

The best way to go is an all SE Igbo movement, when it materialises, u can subtly solicit the inclusion of Anioma, and then Egbema in Rivers.

Ikwerre is fit to be a country, just like Singapore, Qatar, Montenegro etc. I suggest the name of my country to be Iwhnrohna. Biafra and Iwhnrohna will be like Germany and Austria.

Somebody say Amen to that. !!! grin Hallelujah kiss
As you said, Oyigbo and Etche may ditch their Igbo brothers. It is their right to ditch anyone. But what will they ditching their Igbo brothers for? Is it for 'one Nigeria' and continued exploitation by the Yorubas and Northerners? Is it for a Niger-Delta Republic that no one is agitating for? If Ikwere wants to be an independent nation, why are they not agitating for a referendum? All these elements should start agitating for their rights rather than looking for the Igbos to fight

that has always being my stance on this issue of Biafra, we can't affort to make mistake of risking the loss of infrastructure and life as at 1967

lets make Igboland a nation in a nation, like Hongkong in China. Igboland has the potential to reach greatness in Nigeria.

Brother,you better wake up. Adaka Chimpanzee Boro who fought again Biafra with Ijaw soldiers is from where? Ijaws actually celebrated thier "liberation" from Biafran forces. Don't get me wrong,I'm all for peace but the Ijaws for now are a no-no.
Where are u running to now?

Ijaw was President built u international airport, built you bridge, gave u appointment and visited you more than any other president in Nigeria History.


Wat more do u want? U do one million things for people it is the one that was wrong they remember.


Ijaw are human beings with both good and bad, just like igbos. We have been living with dem in Port Harcourt.


Whether u include ijaw in Biafra is inconsequential becos they have already included u in their NigerDelta republic.


I hope u know Igbo land is in the map of Niger Delta Republic? I hope u know that?
