eko is better instead of the Portuguese name,a remainder of colonialism

MERCHANDISER:
Nyesom is give only me not "who is following"

Onye means "who"
Nye means "give"
Som means "only me"

IKWERRE IS IBO AND IBO IS IKWERRE... GET THAT INTO YOUR THICK SKULL

orisa37:





ODUDUWA is better.

Spallanzani:

This is general mentality of an average IgboIPOBian person... very wicked attitude.

EmptyCoconutHead:
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

EmptyCoconutHead:
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

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

UniportAgbero:



All these stories are trivial when you hear other things these people did. Like when they laid siege on Ogu town and killed a quarter of her youths for running from military conscription. They raped the women and girls and forced their husbands to watch. What a sad time to have lived in!!
Elechi Amadi of blessed memory aptly wrote in his book, 'Sunset at dawn' some of these evils these wicked souls did. Even now, they are the problem of Nigeria. That we have a negative international reception is due to them. That we have a truncated history, is still due to them. They planned the first coup that led to various other coups that truncated the development of Nigeria.
Fake drugs and food products are manufactured by them. I just Taya for them.

They should clamor all they want for their dear Biafra but should leave us out of it.

gidgiddy:
It will be hard to change the name because the Ijaws and Ogoni's of Rivers state will see it that the city being "Igbonised".

carlos1:
Of all the crimes n atrocities going on in pH, it's change of name that's a priority now.

gidgiddy:


Even former governor of Rivers, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi , an Ikwerre man from Ubima, said in the video below that he is an Igbo man and nobody should deny him his Igboness

Binikingdowm:
they will soon called you an Edo man or Yoruba or Fulani

Donkalio:
Now I know FFK actually takes drugs, what does he knows about Rivers state or portharcourt?

Portharcourt was named after a British Business man, named "Lewis Harcourt" he does coal Business, he buys coal from Enugu, and export it outside the country through water transportation, as far back as 1900. Harcourt bought over a piece of land, which is close to the shore (presently known as NPA portharcourt) from the late chief Oju Daniel kalio, then paramant Ruler of okrika, of the ijaw ethnic nationality. As possessive plurality will apply, it is called Harcourt's port, which can be change to the other way, "portharcourt"

The piece of land was actually bought by the white man.
Information is the key. FFK should take note.

1shortblackboy:
A city made up of ikwerre and okrika villages and u want to call it by the name igbos called it.

Chibuking1402:
....oga if ikwere who is living in denial said they are not igbos they should carve out their own unique language different from the igbos otherwise people will keep refereeing them as one because every language is unique n different not similar otherwise there will always be confusion... check every know language...which one is closely similar to igbos n ikwere,..... hausa, Yoruba, name them...all are very unique and different.

Kennydoc:


Abeg, shut up! Your former governor and APC stalwart Amechi said he's Igbo.

Also, Rivers State is part of Ohaneze Ndígbo. Hon. Igochukwu Okparanma is Vice President—General (Rivers)

Rumxy:


All these minority ethnic groups that speak Igbo language ( or slight variations of it) and bear complete Igbo names ( both first and surnames) and still deny their Igbo ancestry baffle me. The last time I checked, Igbo is one of the 3 major ethnic groups in Nigeria, so how come a major tribe(Igbo) will originate from a minor tribe(ikwerre). You guys should leave Igbo language alone, bear your own names and coin your own language. FYI, that your Igbo name will still put you in trouble if another civil war arises because a typical Hausa/Fulani man will still see you as Igbo unlike the efiks, ibibios, urhobos etc that have their own distinct languages and names that they don't share with anybody. Make una dey deceive yourselves, Peter Odili, Chibuike Amaechi, Nyesom Wike, Ifeanyi Okowa, Ned Nwoko, Peter Nwaoboshi etc are your governors and senators yet you deny having Igbo ancestry.

charlsecy:
What's said to be the original name?

nasoeb:

How is it our business if one useless hon is in your ohanaeze. He has the damnn right to belong to arewa congress or kowa party, how does that translate to igbos being part of Rivers State other than that your forsaken obigbo of a place.
You guys keep feeling important when its obvious every part if this country doesn't want to associate with you guys. I expect you guys to have a townhall meeting in all your five states and ask "why does every tribe feel uneasy towards the igbos and hate to mingle with them.
You guys have inherent nature to CHEAT. In anything you guys do, you lots just must cheat or it wont be complete. Everyone is denying you lots. Never in this life will any part if Rivers State except your useless Obigbo be part of your biafra, and sure no S.S state or town.
People wey no sabi their origin. How will you understand the senior between 2 brothers when you dont know who's the senior. You dont know where you originate from and when same also you dont know of the ikwerres, but you automatically know ikwerres come from you. Does that sound like an intelligent conclusion?

nextdoor84:

Just thank God the igbos aren't expansionist, cos if they were, by now your people would have been speaking igbo or they would have chased them all out to Sao tome...reason why you riverine people will never smell the brick house......forget that we uplanders sometimes would say we aren't igbos, but you don't mess with our brothers and think we would let you go unpunished.....be cultured bro!

See these hopeless bunch of people in the Niger Delta forming important. Mention your tribe and we will see how insignificant you and your people are in the scheme of things. Even your Niger Delta cannot exist for one month as a nation cos you will finish yourselves with war: Ikwerre vs Kalabari; Urhobo vs Itsekiri; Ijaw vs Bini etc.
What makes you think Igbos need you? You haven't organised yourselves and put your house in order, you're forming important.
Thank God you acknowledge that Obigbo is Igbo. It shows how foolish your opinion is, cos you claimed no part of Rivers is Igbo.
My dear, you simply don't matter in the scheme of things. Hate Igbos all you want, it makes no difference. Nobody likes Ikwerre people. Even in your little Rivers State, you are hated not to talk of the whole South South. Your people can't even stand alone as a nation even if you're given independence today. Abeg waka comot joor.

Try again. Igbos that are slave to us. It can never be told that the igbos can stand we the Ijaws. So now you know, think again who would have been chased to south western part of cameroun by now?.... the igbos.

DeltaBachelor:
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

But you and your ilks have been all over this thread claiming Igbos ransacked your villages during the war? I'm sure you are keeping track of all your rants on this thread.
