Stop consolingly yourselves with lies, even in Arrochukwu Ibibios is still spoken the culture still reigns supreme.
You were not last to be westernized, you were total Bushmen penetrated only by the Aros who spoke Ibos and Ibibios, captured and brought you lots to bigger Ibibio port towns for onward departure to Calabar.
Plz don't bring in money or super negroes as many of them did commit Mass suicide, there is a thread about it here on NAIRALAND in the culture section
Like I said earlier, if you are still suffering from the afflictions melted on you lots by the Aros go and face them.
Aros dared not ventured into Itu and even continued practising the Ibibios culture till tomorrow, how then did they conquer AkwaCross?

Keep your miseries to yourself.

You are IBO and yet you don't know the difference between Aros and Nris?

Comedian. All you said was trash. Aros that wiped out waves and waves of ibibios during the aro-ibibio war then sold them as slaves. The aros sold entire ibibios into slavery. The aros conquered akwacross, argue with the map.

gidgiddy:
Really? So Igbos should not fight for Igbos? So because Nnamdi Kanu is an Ibeku man, he should never fight for an Ndoki man in Obigbo even though they are all Igbos. So what is the point of being a tribe if nobody is supposed to fight for nobody?

What is the fight in this case? That people should answer their ancestral name rather than an imposed name?

IPOBs are delusional .
Stop dragging ndi Igbo into the affairs of your terrorist organisation.

So in other words, 5000 years ago Port Harcourt belonged to the Igbos. Continue let me park here.

And what is this frustrated soul still wailing about, they sold Ibibios to slavery and that is why when you take the DNA, gene samples of most African Americans, Haitians, Jamaicans and the slaves in the Carribean they are IBOs.
Aros are even a mixture of Ibos, Ibibios and Ekoi(Akpas) and Nris are Igalas mixed with Igbos.
For you I don't know your stock but am 100% sure you ancestors consists majority of the 95% slaves of IBO extraction shipped out of the old calabar ports
Your lamentations is just beginning

Mumu. Are you not the one showing aro juju as gods miracles. Now I see how you ewu Christians deceive people.

It must be very painful for you. Ibibios where not profitable, so they where not sold as much as their Igbo counterparts. There where large amounts of ibibios sold. Only the rulers of the aro confederacy could sell slaves, they where all Igbo. Look at the map of the territory they conquered. And, thanks for admitting that most African Americans are igbos. I hope you know that ohafia and abam warriors sold whole communities of ibibios into slavery within days.
Respect your aro slave masters, or your skull will be the next on their tray.

How can people exchnging you lots like Guinea pigs for lace materials, Dry gin, guns, cutlasses be profitable?
like I said your Lamentation is just starting plz continue with more names of the people sold...
No wonder they speak IBO in Jamaica

IkwerrePikin:
Igweocha is not Ikwerre language or any Ikwerre community or ancestral name.

What we have is Rebisi which is today Port harcourt.

It is igbos who call PH igweocha.

Have you asked the meaning of Igweocha?

If Assi(Cursed person) Nnamdi (Nnaya Olago because his father is gone) Kanu is an epitome of Igbos reasoning then Igbos have a long way to go.
Well as Ohaneze Ndi Igbo has rightly said Kanu is never the mouthpiece of Igbo people and whatever oozes from his putrid mouth should be a content of the waste bin.
Igweocha is an awesome exclamation of the Igbos over the ingenuity of the white man crafts in Rebisi Land in present day Port Harcourt.
The Igbo people call Britain Ala Gbekei. Does it mean the British people should change their country's name to Ala Gbekei?
Igweocha means the Heaven of the white man. Figuratively a beautiful land.
Everyone saw it as that.
It was the only place with tarred road, electricity and even pipe borne water in the then old eastern Nigeria.
The Igbos then including the Ikwerres were awed.
The white man gave the city the name Port Harcourt. The locals go by the name Igweocha in agreement with the awesome proclamation of the Igbo people.
Port Harcourt has extended to areas that were not originally in the map of old Port Harcourt Town to areas like the whole of Rebisi and Obio Akpor LGA.

Ojiofor:
IPOB should also apply wisdom and wait for that right time.
Reckless actions like this produce negative result both for Obigbo and Igbo nation at large.
If time is not taken you guys will force Obigbo people to start their own I no be Igbo nonsense because of IPOB lack of wisdom.
Nobody want to be dragged to a senseless and Unprepared war and the reason everyone is distancing themselves from IPOB.
Wike is killing Biafrans/IPOB members in Obigbo not Igbos please set the record straight or is Biafra only for Igbos now?

If you have issue with Kanu you should face him and not dragging the rest of Igbo with you. If Wike is killing Biafrans/Ipob, and it happened that your brother was among those killed, what will you say about it? Have you ever seen police arrested the real culprits on the scene?
Yes, Kanu goofed, he goofed big time and I condemned him. I condemned his unguarded utterances during the #endsars protests that was organized by Nigerians of all tribes. In fact, he was the one that disorganized it. If he is not loquacious, he should have waited to see the direction of the protests whether it will lead to his much desired Nigeria break up. I said sometimes ago that anybody that knows kanu should tell him to learn when to talk and when to shut up.
Let's take sentiment out of this. The reckless action of Wike in Obigbo should be condemned in totality. He is not the only gov in Nigeria. Upon all the insecurity in the north no governor from there ever called the army on his people, Obaseki never call the army on Edo people despite jail breaks. Why was he quick to invite the army on the people that voted for him on their ancestral homeland. On the allegation that Ipob members killed some soldiers and policemen, the soldiers killed none of them has a name. Is it giving a dog bad name and hang it. As far as I know River state is not the only state where policemen were killed, why can't those states governors invite the army.
My only problem with kanu is that he is talkative, but I can't totally throw him away because people like him are also found in other tribes. If you kill him now time will come when he will be needed. Igbo adage says " gbuo dike gbuo dike ubochi ogu achowa dike".
Btw, I'm not an Ipob member, but I'm sympathetic to their cause. I can't be a second class citizen in a country I called my own. Nobody is forcing anybody to change his indentity, those who changed theirs are they better than the larger Igbo?

I have nothing personal with MNK but I have problems with the way he and his group drags Igbo reputation and pride to the mud every now and then and as for Wike,The opportunist took advantage of the chaos in Obigbo to make a political statement,he simply use IPOB to score a political point and send a message to the North.
Those who rioted in Edo state and other place were not shouting this is Biafraland and death to Nigeria state as it was in Obigbo.(you can deny it as usual)
We shouldn't give our enemies reasons to kill us.Onye ndiro gbara gburugburu la eche ndu'ya nche na oge nile.
I do not consider MNK as Dike ndi Igbo can not do without.We are surviving without Ojukwu,who is Nnamdi Kanu?

Words on marble but you're wasting your time talking to that man.


In my mind anybody celebrating the death of our people in Obigbo because the victims may be ipob is already a minus to our society.

one of the most sensible posts I've seen on nairaland.com

pazienza:
Sometimes I wonder how some of you reason.

Obiigbo people have traditional rulers, they have leaders of thought.
Its been years the then Ijaws from Bayelsa who controlled rivers who connived with the FG to change Obiigbo to Oyiigbo were confined to Bayelsa state, thanks to Zik and Ukiwe master stroke.

If Obiigbo people want the change the town and even LGA back to its original name of Obiigbo, what stops them from writing a petition to RVSG and FG to that effect by getting Ohanaeze Ndiigbo involved?

They haven't done this. So common sense should tell you they are not bothered by outsiders bastardizing their name for them..

Why then should an Ibeku man be crying more than the bereaved?

Ndi IPOB, ike unu agwula m.

IPOB members don't reason well. They have brought so much disgrace to the great Igbo nation

AwkaFinest:

Thanks bro.

Stricker321:

But the Fulani herdsmen killing people across Nigeria did not bring enough disgrace on Fulani people for you Nigerians to elect a Fulani man as your president?

Ojiofor:
IPOBs are delusional .
Stop dragging ndi Igbo into the affairs of your terrorist organisation.

If you hate Ipob who are mostly Igbo, why are you sounding as if you carer for the Igbos? What makes Ipob a terrorist organization? Or because your stupid government says so which you know its not true but to tame them.Terrorists that have never killed a single soul, but rather, it was those they "terrorized" that kill them. They were accussed for killing soldiers and policemen in Obigbo which is fulse accusation. Yes, every live matters no matter who is affected, but those soldiers and policemen killed during #endsars, may their souls rest in peace, were killed by Nigerian protesters not Ipob protesters. Everything that happened during #endsars protests is done by Nigerians. Upon all the protests Ipob have conducted it never recorded that they killed anybody, why singling them out?
If you are Igbo as you made me to believe and you did not call all the criminal activities going on in North West terrorism and and the perpetrators terrorists, but always call people who express their feelings with flags and megaphones a terrorist organization, then your Igboness must be questioned.
If you like call me Ipob or whatever all I know is truth must be told. Our people says that " Okenye amaghi egu ala bu aruruala.

gidgiddy:
What Nnamdi Kanu said is true, for those who care about history

The place was called Obigbo untill 1976 when they carved it out of Imo state, lumped it into Rivers State, and renamed it one ridiculous name called "Oyigbo"

The area known "Portharcourt ", what is Portharcourt? Portharcourt is simply a Seaport that was built on a land known as "Igwuocha". For those who do not know, Igwuocha and Obumotu were the farmlands of Ikwerre people that was used to build the port. Many Ikwerres still call Portharcourt 'Igwuocha'. It should have been called 'Portigwuocha'. But the British named the port after 'Vernon Harcourt', the then British secretary of colonies.

I support a place to be called by its ancestral name, not an imposed name.

So this is the solution of getting an Igbo presidency? Why dwell on such trivial matters? This Nnamdi Kanu of a man has so derailed the course of many Igbo people that they do not see the meagreness in issues brought by him.

Dont be fooled, there sections in Nigeria who dont want an Igbo man to be President of Nigeria, Nnamdi Kanu or no Nnamdi Kanu

The same sections of Nigeria had no problem voting for a Fulani to be President in 2015 and 2019 despite the fact that Fulani herdsmen have killing people all across Nigeria. Kanu has not done 1% of what herdsmen are doing

That tells you all you need to know
