Bigmillz:
why are you not channeling this your hate and anger for the Hausas that kill you people daily or are you scared of them

you rhetorics is getting boring joor. How about scores of your people who kill theirselves in the name of cultism? How about your people that die in the hands of ijaw?, how about the miscreant that get killed as militants and robbers?
Igbos are not sacred of any body and trust me if an ikwere is killed no one will get to hear or complain about it unless it has an igbo under tone.

Abagworo:
I sincerely don't like the impression you and your cohorts are making of Ndigbo in general. If Ikwerres say they are not Igbo why should a true Igbo son or daughter resort to looking for ways to ridicule Ikwerre ethnic nationality? Why? Things do turn around you know. 12 years ago Ikwerres faced this level of ridicule by some fellow Rivers people but within the last 9 years Ikwerre has produced 3 Governors.

We should learn to tolerate people's opinion if Ndigbo truly want peace and development. I being of Igbo and Ikwerre mix equally have my reservations to claims of Benin origin by some but it doesn't mean I will force my personal belief and knowledge down others who have opposing views.

Enough is enough. Ndigbo should let Ikwerre ethnic nationality be. We have so much similarities but one cannot swallow the other by force. Ndewo

Nobody is forcing anyone here, ikwere produced governors not because they worth it but because those people take themselves as Igbo. Like you said no one should swallow each other, they should respect anyone(ikwere) that takes himself as Igbo. Ikwere ethnic nationality should respect ikwere igbo clan. Or are there no more ikwere igbos?

Can someone tell me what is lavish in this over rated show of shame So renting canopies and serving fish roll and few puf-puf with can coke and 2 average looking cake is lavish birthday? There is poverty in the east indeed. Funny biafrans

you're just funny, I know someone like you wouldn't go beyond cooking 1 full basin of jellof rice with finger sized meats, two crates of coca cola, two bottles of eva win(if you can afford it ), two cans of viju milk, one tray of chin chin and some ugly looking candle sticks.

Ikwokrikwo:
The yorubas are always looking for ways to justify their false claim of Igbo disunity.

Unity and peace has been the watch word of Igbo. History has shown that the igbos have a very nice culture that promote respect,peace,unity and harmony. Igbo remain among the few tribes that do not fight supremacy wars or do they try to colonize or lord over anyone. The disunity they always talk about is because Igbo don't dance to their tune/definition of peace.

tobex23:
can you imagine..... Is it that innoson no longer produces or what, first it was Rivers, now Abia, yet one yellow idiot called Bruce won't see all dis... Ben Bruce and all the people from that tribe that complained when Ambode did this, I say Kaadafunyin eyin omo ale, alainiran oshi





Who this wan come EPP?
They should continue! All this your story no make sense

guy calm down, had I been anywhere close to the state transport co-operation i would have given you at least 1 picture. Do you think as you don't buy their product others don't buy too?
Or that the company will close down? Innoson remains the pride of south eastern states. When imo state floated their own security vehicle which included mostly ivm where were you? Enugu still operates large fleet of ivm and more and more of it is been included into the state transport, don't you wanna talk about that? Some fleet of peace mass, onitsha south, itc, ebotrans... Are ivm do also not recognise that. South eastern Politicians now donate ivm to their people guess it is not patronage, right? And my humble self is planning to buy ivm which I will float proudly and i believe more people who are as proud or even more proud will buy and float theirs proudly too.
Buy ivm and enjoy the pride of been a Nigerian.

We done too lunch taxi scheme for my state o. For those shouting innoson, abia state is one of the highest costumer, abia line, abia link... Are living examples. Other states that has large fleet of ivm include, imo state, ebonyi, enugu and anambra state. You guys should just chill and watch how innoson takes the market as the industry expands. Demand is still exceeding supply and I believe in time it will expand to meet up to it.

lyricalpontiff:
I am Ikwerre and this is the daftest article I have read all year long. Obio/Akpo LGA is richer and bigger than Ebonyi state. Ikwerres have similarities in names and language but our culture is different from that of the Igbos even our traditions and identity. We have different history, we mixed up with the igbos due to trade. Our real identity is "iwuruoha". It's the white man that caused most of this things.
They made aba the capital of our region make most headquarters of business and corporation reside there and made an igbo man mayor of Portharcourt. That's why almost all the streets in Diobu are igbo names. I have personally discussed with Sir Elechi Amadi and he told me a lot including why we supported Nigeria. I'm from Ogbakiri and we have no trace of origin from igbos. We can bear the same names or even speak the same language but we have our different traditions and identity.
Please don't kill yourself over this, Ikwerres will never want to associate themselves with igbos, we have this superior feeling that we better than the igbos, hence the laziness in our people. Bye

lets get facts straight,
=> rivers state has an area of 4277 square mile and Ebonyi is 2135 square mile. If obio/Akpo LGA is larger than Ebonyi state then it should be more than half of rivers state. But out of the 23 lga's in rivers state obio/akpor lga is one of the small/average lgas in rivers state.
=> Obio/Akpor lga is richer than? Clear you didn't state what type of richer you mean. Ebonyi states gets close to times 9 the allocation obio/akpor lga gets. In terms of mineral resources obio/akpor lga is no where close to ebonyi state.
Crude oil is the only possible mineral resources obio/Akpor lga has more than ebonyi state. When it comes to solid minerals ebonyi is a big player in Nigeria. Starting from quarry, lead, zinc, lime stone etc.
Agriculturally obio akpor lga has little to nothing to offer to Nigeria. Ebonyi on the other hand has more land. She is one of the highest rice producing state, she is also a major player when it comes to yam, cassava, plantain and some other food crops.
I just don't get what makes you place yourself where you are no match.

AnusOdourInhaler:
What's up with all this identity crisis?
Igbos are Ikwerre, Ikwerre are not Igbos..
Igbos should stop reaching out to their 'lost' brothers, if they don't want to associate with them.
Narrow your Biafra dream to your 5 states and states/part of states that agrees to go with you, that will solve all these identity problem and will create a unified country based on trust and understanding..
I'm talking with the mindset, that Biafra is a dream not a country driven by greed. Thanks

I support you on everything you said except the biafran part. This is not about biafra, but the dent and heavy blow it gives to Igbo race. I wish other tribes should see it this way, Ikwere is not Igbo and has nothing to do with Igbo. Let others know that anything done by ikwere remains with ikwere. When chukwudi steals, kills... Questions should be asked if he is igbo or not.

CyerSeries:
Is this thread necessary? I'm Igbo and I.don't give a damn whatever group chose to call themselves. My only problem just like someone said here, is that whatever any Ikwere man does, whether positive or negative will be attributed to the Igbo race.

That is where the problem lies. If anything negative is done by ikwere then it will be attributed to Igbos. Just imagine the curt killings within ikwere and how it dents igbo images. Same is applicable to other vices. But the hard part is that we can't cut of our hands because our fingers spite us. Ikwere is a necessary evil. Every un-defendable insult to Igbo race always hedge on Ikwere denial. It is a fight that would have been won if all of them(ikwere) believed they aren't igbo. But significant number of them are still Igbo and some are too vocal and occupy igbo helm of affairs hence can't be denied by Igbo race as it is alien to us. Left to me Ikwere is not Igbo and can never be Igbo, we share nothing in common, not even language name or cloths...
but Ijaw, yorubas, hausa,fulani and other tribes do not see through my lens hence it makes me illogical and foolish..

Likei:
ah !!! this wan no bad nah... if u are planning to visit aba this period, you better go along with your canoe, cos you cant swim through that mud.

Pls no one is talking about aba here my friend, besides where i did a project in Lagos was worse than any place I can remember in Aba.

Lia mohammed at it again. This guy thinks his the most technically intelligent in Nigeria.

chinjo:
Before the election, We will scrap the office of the First Lady. Now after election, She is on a state visit. Where is she getting all the monies for this tourism. APC don scam Nigerians

Not only that, she went with Nigeria presidential Jet.

@YorubaHighness Has anyone told you this before, "you talk alot". Not only that you are illogical most of the time.

Possible thing that can change the cost of such project significantly is the terrain. Lagos is a swampy area and any construction project is likely to cost more than conventional. Also the population that will use it determines the quality of things or will you want to waste millions for it to fail so soon?

jpphilips:
The writer never said Niger delta doesn't have a case, neither did he imply they should not bomb away their future, all he was saying is that so far, the struggle is not in the interest of Igbos politically, historically, economically and otherwise.

OH I see! You (and possibly the writer) only want to reduce this to Igbo huuu? Let me ask you is it of the interest of Nigeria(or any ethnic group) politically, historically, economically and otherwise? You should stop hiding in the dark and just spill out what you have for the Igbo. Like I said i do not support the NDA neither do I support anyone who reduce their actions to the Igbos as you imply. What you should be looking at is the interest of Nigeria as a whole not chasing shadows.

@jpphilips I concur with you on certain aspects, from the outset of this NDA nonsense I never supported their stratagy. Though their demands are worth looking at, I believe anything Igbo shouldn't be included in it.

Like we all know south south as you call it is just a political entity and should be regarded as such.

jpphilips:
The biggest problem is that the average Igbo man does not know where his interest lie.

what do you mean by this? Do average Nigerian know where his interest lie?

Babacele:
so how was the money removed from their hand or gotten if not through recovery? wetin no b yr own wey you carry no be stealing and if na public money no be looting ?why dem no come collect for my hand ...abi wetin u no steal u go return? so people returning these monies na charity people no be wetin dem steal? ......so when you return wetin you steal na frozen account no b recovered loot? your logic too tight...abi wetin u dey talk?

You don't get me yet, do you?
i. Efcc,icpc and other intelligency organisation has to identify funds/asset which they feel are ill gotten.
ii. Next thing they do is to freeze the account or seize the asset pending to when it is proven beyond reasonable doubt that it is not ill gotten.
iii. Some investigative and legal processes has to be undertaken. Here there are two possible outcome,
a) The fund/asset might be found to be a legit property of the accused. Hence not looted fund
b) The fund/asset might be found to be ill gotten.
iv. If the case is the latter then it is were it is tag recovered money/loot.
v. The loot is returned to the govt coffer.

I no talk say people no thief moni oo. I no also talk say people thief moni. Wetin I mean be say we never recover any moni yet o. Wetin we still get na frozen accounts and seized assets.

Babacele:
so when a public officer is forced to return what he has stolen from the public, it is called frozen account abi? God have mercy..

I wasn't talking about who is forced or who volunteered all am saying is the fund shouldn't be tagged recovered loot yet. From all indications, the court(any legal agency involved) is yet to tag anything stolen yet. It means that there are chances that some people or organisation funds might have been mistaked to a loot. Hence the are likelihood of someone dragging the fg to court if his fund is used.

That means we are yet to recover anything if any. Why don't you wait till all legal processes has be exhausted before tagging the fund "recovered loot". "frozen accounts" should have been a better phrase.

Hmmm, may our efforts not be in vain.

You have just made the basic defination of definition of failure. When someone has a defined objective, he is likely to go about doing what he know and has little or know cause of pointing accusing finger or even complaining. The behaviour exhibited by this leadership tends to point toward disaster. Clearly it is a definition of path to failure.

einst3in:
We are more divided or the ibos became more separatist. Which one?

Don't make yourself a kid and a foolish one for that. This is about the division along ethnic , regional and economic faultlines in Nigeria. There is serious mistrust among other ethnic groups, there are heightened regional mistrust, there are increased clashes between ethnic group which is at critical level,there are separatist movements and are growing, there are general mistrust against some groups,regions and people, there are dissatisfactions among members of the nation... And the list goes on and no. So you see it not about Igbos but the heightened division in Nigeria just in one year. The country Nigeria and its citizens should be discussioning events in one mind and tone, not the your silly comment which shows how we have relegated in recent times.

This is Nigerian school for christ sake, you are likely to get flogged any time you do something wrong. I believe the flogging to the eye must be a mistake and the small girl is likely this disrespectful 21st century kid.

I just sitdon dey look the govt & it reckless abuse of power.

These photo show is getting too much and extremely boring.

onuebonyi:
thank you very much. you talk like you are on the ground. now you have confirmed my earlier points. we youths of the state should rise up and demand for a better leadership in our state ebonyi. we cannot allow this mess to continue. our state has some natural resources that can take us far but here we are with out men and women leading us. where are the young people? they are riding okada all over the place. i weep for my state ebonyi.

Op I yet to understand your stand on Ebonyi. You generalize things a lot here.

Nigerian military should be very careful, there are many eyes, ears, cameras and pen out there. 10 civilian death can easily equate to massacre. But I support shooting sporadically in air it is part of gragra. Like they say gragra is the pride of a king especially when confused.

adenine02:
Nigerian army have never been weak



Nigeria politics is so bad



if the army shoot one bullet they will call it genocide

You are somehow right, the army isn't weak and cannot go around shooting innocent citizens. The NDA operations haven't been fully understood by the NA, coupled with the possible ability of Nigerian (especially from those regions) calling out to the international community if there is any form of human right violation. Best possible bet now is dialogue.

Chai, the blow-up done dey too much o, wetin you wan make we (mass) do since wey govt no care if you blow up every pipe line in Nigeria.

Businessideas:
After a patriotic display and near success by Seun and his patriotic moderators to promote our soverignity over the intense desperation by the people who didn't vote for President Buhari to divide Nigeria. I urge us to remain vigilant.
The trend now is to promote this unpopular demand by a few corrupt politicians and their paid agents on our Nairaland through a decoy.
There's now a new trend, they are using the actions and demands of a few Ijaw militants to now promote their original agenda.[size=28pt]The Nigerian south south is not 100% Ijaw.[/size]
I suggest that the Nairaland management issue a disclaimer on their actions and remove their multiple threads they open with fictitious id .

Nairaland Doesn't Support Nigeria Breakup


CC Seun, Myndd44 et al

I know the op is trying to sound patriotic but trust me, Nairaland is not what should be ur problems now. Your post itself promotes division among Nigerians and should not be tolerated also.
