ur moniker says you're aboki so go and face arewa issues.
The point I'm trying to make here is that these minorities are Niger deltans and there are no igbos or any tribe affiliated with igbos in SS

I used to think really high of FFK but this is his all time lowest low. How can he say Nigeria is named after "Nigga"? Didn't he learn History? How can Nigeria that is named after River Nigeria, be Nigga?
Nigeria means Niger-Area ( area of the river Niger)

Na wa oh and some mentally derailed people will hail him a hero.

For the rest of you dumb bleeps, Port Harcourt is co-owned by the Ikwerres and the Okrikans

I noticed something about Igbos , they claim Nigeria is forcing them to stay with the country , yet they are the ones forcing southerners to join them . I'm from rivers state and rivers isn't Biafra ....

Ikwerre says they aren't igbos , yet igbos insist they are.
Same with kalabari etc yet igbos will insist they are
Don't mind them!! They are just after our oil and free access to the ocean!!!

Chibuike Amaechi warned Abaribe on live TV not to deny him his Igboness. Amaechi might be an Ikwerre man but he will be the first to tell anyone that he is an Igbo man

He was invited to deliver a keynote speech at Unizik convocation; I watched it live on NTA. The lecture was so interactive and engaging.

He asked his audience, "Gini wu Abaribe?" They laughed. grin

He continued, "But when you hear Chibuike Amaechi, you will know he is a typical Igbo man." He got a thunderous applause.

Sincerely, I like his doggedness and consider him the best minister in Buhari's incompetent kitchen cabinet.

But I don't like the fact that he plays too much politics with Niger Delta projects. I think Fashola, who's Yoruba, has visited SE/SS to inspect and commission projects than Amaechi, who hails from the region.

Ikwerre's are igbos . Even though they always want to disagree. How can u have same igbos word in ur dialet that has same meaning in ur dialet and still claim "non igbos"?
Nonsense!!!

That they have Igbo names, use some igbo words is not enough to make them Igbo
The Igori people of Kogi state answer purely Yoruba names, their festivals and culture have much connection with Yoruba culture, they even claimed to have migrated from Ife yet they remain a distinct ethnic group, Ogori.

Igweocha should replace the imported name of Port Harcourt.
I don't know who gave you guys this "igweocha" story but it's not historical...Port Harcourt is a British creation n like most coastal towns in Africa was formed from the activities of European Imperialism such as slave trade, resources trade n colonialism.

Oga do your research first before spilling trash pls. ANIOMA is not a word, but an Acronym for Aniocha(Asaba), Ndokwa(kwale), Ika(Agbor) and Oshimili. The "MA" at the end is just to give it a special name as is common with some other parts of Nigeria. The "ANIOMA" people are not Ibos pls. Even though some parts share the same language with them, please understand that Culture and Traditions comes b4 language. This is why you can't say a Bini man from Edo is Yoruba and vice-versa or an Itshekiri man is also Yoruba because they share the same name and/language.

Always do your research before arguing pls. Meanwhile, I am an Ika man in my mid 30's. I need an Ika (Agbor) or kwale lady living in Lagos for a serious relationship pls. The said lady should be a working-class or doing her NYSC . Interested?. Pls call or SMS me on zero,eight,one,three,nine,zero,one,two,four,six,two


God bless you all and have a blessed weekend

Lol... Moniker is just a mirage. I am a bloody igbo man. Igbo man to the core but i speak Yoruba, Hausa and ibibio fluently. My German and Japanese is not bad at all (Average)
If you read history, and hangout with igbo men in their late 60s and above who spent most of their life in the East, you will understand a lot better.
You also need to find the original map of Nigeria before to many states was created.

There's nothing like that was the name of the place. There was no place like Iguocha before the white man came. The British Consul wanted to site a Port and so he met with Chief Daniel Oju Kalio and his ikwerre counterpart to buy off the *Diobu* farmlands belonging to the Ikwerres and the Borikiri and Obomuton-kiri, Abuloma and Amadi-ama communities belonging to the Okrikans. All these happened in 1913 when people scarcely lived in these areas.

Your Ancestors approached which ocean? Please does Port Harcourt have any bearing with the Atlantic ocean? Keep deceiving yourself. The only areas you'd meet the Atlantic ocean in Rivers State are the ijaw areas of Bonny, Kalabari, Opobo, parts of Okrika, Bille, Andoni, Kula.

Ipoo lies will not fly. They've been trying to force this Igweocha narrative into our throat. Foreigners trying to tell us about our ancestral home.
All over nairaland they keep spewing this their igweocha lies which was made in Onitsha and assembled in Aba.

One of my late uncles used to tell me about Igweocha. It seemed like a highly respected town. But now they might call it Rigweocha, just to drain it of any kind of Igbo identity. A project hurriedly executed by Saro Wiwa after the civil war
