I do?

Chai!...nkea atom pieces

Yes, you do!

Stop saying what you don't know.



1) Itskeris is partially mutually intelligent with certain Yoruba dialects.

2) Ilaja is a subset of the larger Yoruba language spectrum.

3) Oba, Eko and Ola are proper Yoruba names.

Several kings have reigned in Ile-Ife before Oduduwa and many of these have the word 'OBA' as prefixes to their names and some are now deitified e.g Obatala, Obalufon etc.

The appropriate Bini word for camp is 'Ago'' and not Eko as it's being misconstrued online.

Even the Binis don't bear 'Ola'

Odingo1:


Know you that Egun, Itsekiri and Ilaje language is entirely different from Yoruba language. Somebody that speak Egun or Itsekiri cannot have a conversation with a yoruba man because they cannot hear each other but Ikwerre and Igbo person from south eastern Nigeria will discuss with each other fluently.

Also point of correction, the names that you refer to as yoruba names are actually Bini names because Bini people colonized yoruba land for long time and transfered some Bini names to Yoruba like Oba(king), Eko(Lagos), Ola etc.

Sammy07:



You guys should leave them

Are itsekiris Yoruba?No, they bear Yoruba names with dialect similar to Yorubas

Are Edo Yorubas? Some of them bear Yoruba names with Yoruba culture

Are Egun Yorubas? No, ..they look Yoruba and bear Yoruba names

Are Ijaws Yorubas? No, in Ondo and Lagos they bear Yoruba names.

There is no single Ijaw village in Lagos.

The westernmost of the Ijaws can be found natively in Ondo.

I repeat, there is no single Ijaw who is native to Lagos.

I have started the campaign on radio Biafra London Facebook page, we need to educate our ipob brothers how dangerous it is attaching ss in Biafra.......we must clear that mindset of ss being our brothers.....and to our Yoruba and Hausa neighbors here please do good to hold the sstherners responsible for any problem they commit stop attacking Igbo's because SS issues......

it all started with Igbos insulting SS and calling them tribeless, they later responded in a harsh way, Igbos are actually the most stupid set of people, they brought the new hatred on Igbo and if things are not done properly, Igbo nation will ever regret having ipob

Amarabae:

so your eternal hope is on one man opinion ,
lol, Mr man, deep inside you ,you know the bitter truth but so scared to embrace it,
go to all ikwerre platform or ogbakor ikwerre summits and see a uniformed and resilient resentment of anything Igbo,
don't allow me post a video of celestial omehia ikwerre man insulting and abusing Igbo nation and they were hailing and clapping for him, you will sleep this night after watching it.
housewife?
lol typical misogynistic ipob sadist, you wished?
oklkpo I can feed you 5years without blinking an eyelid, you are no match..

Madam I have start believing you are a Yoruba. He asked you a good question for 2 times now you are pretending not to see the question the same question I asked you.

How can you claimed to be proud igbo lady from Rivers state at the same time you are claiming there are no indigene igbo in River state

Amarabae:
Greetings lovely humans!
This short post is aimed at correcting some misguided and delusional orientation that Igbos have about Rivers state,
As Rivers state indigene born and bred there, though married to a south east state, I am well grounded about the total makeup of the south south state and Igbos should learn.
1, Rivers state is not an Igbo state, it is erroneous to assert that , it is a multi ethnic state comprising of kalabaris, okrikas, ikwerres, Etches, Ogbas, Ekpeyes, Elemes, Ogonis etc
yes the ijoid sub-tribes there affirm a solidarity to Ijaw nation , likewise the ogonid sub-tribes affirm theirs to ogoni nation except for a little denial in eleme but There is NO strong or firm solidarity to the Igbo nation from any rivers tribes, the few little solidarity comes from egbemas in Onelga and we ASA/NDOKIS in Oyigbo, the reason why is because we still have our kit and kin in ukwa west, ukwa east and ohaji egbema LGAs.
The ikwerres, Ogbas,Ekpeyes,Ndonis,Etches Are recognised officially as an independent tribes in Rivers state, and since as a people, they have vehemently denied being Igbos , their decisions must be respected by Igbos,
ikwerres are ikwerres
Ekpeyes are Ekpeyes etc case closed.
.
2, Port Harcourt is not an Igbo city,
you can't refer pH as an Igbo city just because of the ikwerre factor there when the ikwerres over the years have denied affinity with Igbos,
PH belongs to rivers tribes, case closed and there was no time in history it was officially registered as Igweocha, that was a nickname just like some call it Pitakwa.
3, Rivers state should be counted out of your biafran ipob map because at the mention of that name, many wounds that was sustained during the war gets opened up again,
wake up to reality and stop deceiving yourself, Rivers state government and even Rivers state council of traditional rulers have warned you Igbos yet you irritants don't want to learn. is Alright,
4,The governor nyesom wike is not an Igbo man but Ikwerre man ,he has never claimed Igbo,
he is a bit Igbophobic, go and read about his igbophobic records as obio akpor local government chairman,
this same wike renamed a stadium after yakubu Gowon,. a man whose war actions killed many Igbos yet wike immortalised him ,yet your afara born direction keep deceiving you about wike on radio Biafra, you don't yet want to have sense.
Was it not wike who hosted the oba of Benin and affirmed ikwerres loyalty to his kingdom before him, you know all that yet you are living in denial, its alright!
5, The state is still Igbophpbic,case closed,
you are tolerated, not welcomed and you know that.
even nnamdi KANU knows this,that's why when he was around and was talking about coming to his Biafra capital "igweocha", the guyman parked at oyigbo and never stepped foot in pH, or core rivers area, he knew about the repercussions, let's stop deceiving ourselves
.
show me one ijaw man supporting Biafra and I will show you 1000 ijaw men who will spit when that name is mentioned, same with the ikwerres and co,
that's a bitter reality
,
If you have had a first hand experience of Igbophobic outrage from these minorities, you will know that the "Fulanis and Yorubas are learners"
I will stop here ,part 2 is coming.
You have been rejected many times yet you are still stubborn , that means that you have an ulterior plan,
Ipob stop attracting insults to the great Igbo Nations , have some self dignity before them,
The minorities don't need Igbos to survive , the Igbos don't need them to survive, but Ipob is making it look as if they are oxygen to Igbo's.
for me its either we restructure Nigeria or a homogenous Igbo only country ,
ipob should start waking up to reality before it is late.

Oriaku I created an social interface, a group strictly for Igbos mind to join and rub minds together for Igbo affairs (if you're interested) .

Email me on Kwashisomto@gmail.com so I can share the link with you. I'm passing the info to other Igbos on here as well.

I don't know why some of you feel/think that the bash Igbo constantly received on this forum is solely because of IPOB. While IPOB are partly to be blamed, the fact is most are fueled by ant-Igbo sentiment. Many only leverage on their unguided utterances to insult Igbo. Take out IPOB today, the insult will still continue. There will always be issues to leverage upon. I think, the first campaign should be against anti- Igbo sentiment in Nigeria. Anything shot of this is sheer waste of time and energy.

But you IPOB members gave them an excuse to justify it. You have dragged the Igbo nation to the mud by behaving like directionless children who lack reason. Why do you keep attaching the Igbo nation to people who say they do not want you? Is that not akin to rape or forceful marriage?

Amarabae did make valid points based on her experience and doesn't deserve this manner of insult.
Involving her husband in this is unacceptable.

Having lived and worked in PH I can confirm her points, 100%.

But the utterances of Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB and their supporters is contrary to this claim.
Go to Radio Biafra page on Facebook and see the level of hatred against the Fulani and Yoruba people.

hammerP:



I FEEL THE NEED TO STATE THAT WE ARE NOT LEAVING NIGERIA BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID OF YORUBA, HAUSA OR FULANI.

WE ARE LEAVING NIGERIA BECAUSE IT IS A FAILED STATE.

I HAVE NEVER KNOWN NDIIGBO TO FEAR ANY GROUP OF PEOPLE ON GODS EARTH.

FEAR IS XENOPHOBIA AND TRIBALISTIC OR RACIST ORIENTATED.

IPOB IS NOT A RACIST GROUP.

majority of the likes u got on this posts are from yorubas and hausas...now they have given u a new title 'the only reasonable ibo here' lol...i hope u use that title to become rich. We dont have to worry about hausa, yoruba or ss or even ipob doing damage to igbos...people like u will destroy us from the inside just fine.

Gidgiddy pazienza

Just shut it.

oyatz:
It's not only Ikwerres, Northerners also refers to Ijaw, Efik, Ogoni, Urhobos, Anang as igbos.




During the build-up to the 2011 presidential election, educated Government workers I my place of work in Potiskum, Yobe State were telling me that Goodluck Jonathan is an Igboman!

I tried educating them that Jonathan is an Ijaw man and Ijaw is a separate ethnic group but they didn't listen.

Goodluck had 'Ebele' and 'Azikiwe' as other names..
.
But I think I get your point...
And it's no fault of the igbos.


But, truth be told, I hadly come across lengthy epistles on SM where igbos try to 'Claim' Ikwerre's' or the other 'minorities' as theirs or part of them.


Infact I've seen more of these type of posts than the other.
My question is why put so much effort in trying to rebutt or refuse something, when the other side barely takes this thing seriously??
You might say, Ipob.. but does Ipob represent the entirety of the Igbo nationality??

This is the truth and nothing else but the truth .
It is painful. But the truth is usually painful and bitter, yet you must swallow it to be cured.
Ndiigbo must swallow and make peace with the truth Amarabae stated above.
They are facts and totally endorsed by myself and indeed all well meaning Igbos with self dignity.

And so I hold.

AfonjaConehead:

You can hug transformer..I'm SS and I don't hate the Igbos

See them disgracing themselves and denying their father's compound.
You are either from Ebonyi, Abia, Enugu or Imo..
Creating Monikers and claiming another man's land is una hobby.

The opinion of one Amarabae can never be the opinion of the Ikwerres. Call for a referendum and let us see those Ikwerres who consider themselves as part of the Igbo nation and by extension Biafra.

pazienza:


I know Dr Joseph Ogundu well.
We have tried for him and his kind in Ikwerre. We have endured unending disgrace and embarrassment from his overwhelmingly Igbophobic Bini Ikwerre people back home for 50yrs.
We have tried for them.
They should all go home and sort out their issues with their Bini brothers, including Uche Okwukwu.
We should amicably expel them all from Igbo gatherings.
We sympathize with them, but the interest of many can no longer be sacrificed for those of few.
Igboland and Igbo nationalism needs a radical shake up. Cutting off freeloaders like Ikwerres in our midst and their likes, is a good way to begin.
They can no longer be allowed to eat their cake and still have it.

Uche okwukwu is just using Ohanaeze for his daily bread...That's their game.

What is all these noise about. The nationality that wish to remain in Biafra or join Nigeria will be determined through referendum. Meanwhile Rivers people really bleeped up but just like the Benue and middle beltans I believe they have learnt their lesson.

The West and the North are parasite with fake love all because they have their eyes on your golden treasure.

As for fears of intimidation or hostility by the Niger Deltans, that could only be possible if there is any way inequality, and lack of fair representation is lacking in the Future Biafran Governmnet .

Dreambeat:

Amarabae is not Ikwerre. She is from Asa in Oyigbo Rivers state, she and her people are proud Igbos.
Ikwerres never asked you for referendum. Restrict your referendum within Igboland. Ogbakor Ikwerre have reiterated many times that Ikwerre are Binis, to this end Oba Bini was a guest to Wike in Rivers state government house recently to strengthen their bond.

You need to stay updated nwanne. Onye ajulu anaghi ajuu onwe ya. Show dignity Nnaa.

Oga, when I made my post, I knew in advance that people like you will tag me as IPOB member.
I'm not moved, you can call me anything you like, after all this is a faceless forum.

Now, tell me how many people in the streets of other Nigerian cities even in SS are aware of anything call IPOB or their activities outside your SE.But I can tell you that there is a strong anti-Igbo sentiment in many of these areas. That is the root cause of your problem. Until you fight to eradicate it, you are just chasing shadow.

Like I said in my previous post, IPOB or no IPOB, the insult will not abate until the root cause is removed. This can be done by proving to other Nigerian that what they thought of you is not what you are.

Visit these areas and see how your brothers are suffering discrimination by people who have not heard anything called IPOB.

Ojiofor:


You can't properly feed a cat nwa nurse as you claim.
You are making noise on faceless forum because you are a nobody.
Come to facebook and debate with real Ikwerri people.
Anyone can say whatever he likes,fact remains fact.
MNK have been abusing everyone including his own people.
You are not from Rivers state that is a fact,prove me wrong and come and join us in this man's page for a debate.

Self deceit is a disease.

Even in tiv language we have different accent and we spell and pronounce words differently according to our clan

Let's get one thing clear. Ndiigbo has nothing whatsoever to prove to any Nigerian group.

IPOB and their misguided idea of roping Ndiigbo in a phantom Biafra with over 200 ethnic groups in SS to create a modern day tower of Babel, is well known in SS and has been a source of insult to Ndiigbo.
No person in SS do not know about IPOB. I know this because I regularly visit Facebook pages of SS groups to guage their reactions towards IPOB and Biafra.

Ndiigbo don't give any flying horse about what any group in SS or beyond think about us. We will simply return hate for hate, love for love, peace for peace, violence for violence, cooperation for cooperation, understanding for understanding, madness for madness, insult for insult to any group who relates with us on those terms. Actions must be met with appropriate reactions, let no one ever think they have monopoly to those actions.

But first, IPOB unity begging must stop.
