In the same way change the name of the former capital of Nigeria from "Lagos" to Eko.

The respected ones are aligning with the Igbos while others are massaging their bloated egos.

A fact doesn't change because it threatens your egos or emotions, it remains a fact even though heaven will fall.

Even Rotimi Amaechi claimed being of Igbo origin.

my colleague too from Edo state is bearing amarachi ifeanyi while the other one from Agbor is bearing Chinedu. Cos they bear those names doesn't make them igbo, or why Yorubas don't claim Rivers state too they cos Amaechi is bearing Rotimi has his first name?
These minorities have their own tribe, culture and identity.
Igbos should stop this ethnic cleansing of minorities.
Ikwerre is Ikwerre, Aniomas is Anioma and igbo is igbo

Most of you chap type out of ignorance or out of pure mischief. Rivers State is made up of different ethnic groups, of which the Igbos is one of them. Majority of ethnic group in Rivers state speak a dialect of the Igbo language, with variation. Nigerian toxic politics, ironically designed to suppress the Igbos, may influence some to assume their unique identity, but in reality, they all know who they are

there is nothing like Igbo speaking people or Igbo parts in Rivers State so stop deceiving nairalanders.
Rivers State has Ikwerre, Andoni and Kalabari. No igbos or whatsoever

GOD will bless you. Igbos are after oil money. They intimidated the Rivers man during the Biafra war, collecting our God given lands and wealth for free. That's the ultimate desire of an igbo man

I believe Femi Fani Kayode has mental problems. He should focus his attention on more relevant issues

Will changing the name from Port Harcourt make it a cleaner or better city?

The name of the city was Igweocha, named because when our ancestors were approaching the ocean, there are no more jungle land to provide cover, instead they will be seeing a open heaven where the ocean reflects skywards causing some heavy contrast. The next generation called it Pitakwa.

Igweocha should replace the imported name of Port Harcourt.
Who are the ancestors that called it the so call "igweocha"?
To whose ratification?

Stop saying Trash!!!! Ikwerre is never and Will Never be Igbo. Ikwerre is a different tribe from Igbo. We have not forgotten how you people killed our people during the failed useless Biafran war. Your people with the help of Ojukwu killed our men, women and children, and transported some to be resettled in the bad lands of Arochukwu. That's why till today a part of Igwuruta in Ikwerre LGA is inhabited by the people of Arochukwu (Aruigwuruta). That is why I must continue thanking my ancestors who killed the land thief's upon their return to Rumuokoro after the failed useless Biafran war.
The Biafran war did a lot of damages to the Igbo nation. But the most is the lies that is been paraded against South East Igbos. I have tackled one of your intellectuals on Facebook, find out about Okachukwu Dibia, go through his timeline, and observe our debate on this issue. If you claimed that South East Igbos killed your people, where is the evidence? Can you provide location, date and time with facts.
The Biafran war still remained one of the conflict that had extensive media coverage, so none of this purported genocide could have escaped the lance or pen of observers. Asaba Massacre was documented, including other major sector of the war, why is that of Ikwerre and other so called ND group not covered? Please, provide evidence or keep shut over what you don't know.

What is it with you Igbo's? Yesterday you were trying to claim Cross River and Akwa Ibom, now you have moved to rivers. You people think you are wise but I can assure you that this your land grabbing/colonization agenda has failed. Also, we are not and will never be part of your Biafra.

Lord Frederick Lugard and wife Flora
Shaw gave Nigeria her name. The
meaning of the word "NIGERIA" from
the latin word "NIGER" (meaning
"BLACK" wink is "BLACK AREA, AREA OF
DARKNESS OR BLACK SPOT". Most
African nations changed their names
after independence. Sadly Nigeria did
not.
this is another good reason Nigeria should divide into different countries with new names...

THE WAHALA OF STAYING AMALGAMATED is too much! Is another reason.

from Nepotism to tribalism to boko haram to herdsmen to cabal ...

what awaits us next?

Bethel4Life:
ur right
Who are the igbos? The unfurtunate Obigbo? One miserable, poor local govt with it's inhabitants trying to tell the majority us on what to call our state capital. Even if I subscribe to a name change, it shouldn't be coming from irrelevant lots in the affairs of Rivers State. The only thing that is next to igbo is the ikwerres, whom also have come out uncountable times to deny having igbo origin. So igbis can only claim their miserable obigbo.
Am a full Bonny man and Ijaw at that. Igbos will be quick to cook up history about others and will claim anything. Surprising for people who dont know the history of their own origin.

Your Ancestors approach 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, Billed, Ke, Kula.

Your Ancestors lied

Add Andoni to that..

That guy's story just showed the ipoo lies he's trying to make us believe.

Please, next time, don't jump on my mention to type trash, because of one useless thread, that I did not even bother to read nor comment on. What is my business with Cross River or Akwa Ibom? I don't even roll with you guys, and so don't talk shiit to me. Rivers State is a multi ethnic group state, of which the Igbo speaking part is very visible, which is a fact. Now Bleep off my mention, if you don't have anything sane to say.
Bringing in Biafra, which your rabid Igbophobi blinds you to her portential, if I have my way, the leadership of IPOB will erase anything non Igbo speaking. I am against IPOB for this sole reason. You guys are ingrate, and don't deserve any relationship with hinterland Igbos. Like I stated early on, fuvck off my mention. Nwanshi. angry

These igbos are so disgusting. Their manners make me puke. I always try hard not to dislike them ( truth be told, they are the closest and most reliable of any ethnic group in Nigeria to we the Ijaws) but I just hate their quick tendency to claim people, land etc.
Because ikwerres have similar language to the igbos, the average igbo man will never in his life time imagine nor believe that igbos could have originated from the ikwerres but they will forever believe that ikwerres originated from igbos. This is because of their "entitlement believe"

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

Exercise book is not really exercise book.
