when I came back to Nigeria last year...it was an Agbor man who drove the taxi I entered...

He saw me immediately and came straight and started speaking Igbo to me...when I knew he wasn't from SE was when he spoke to his fellow Agbor man ....he told me that Agbor is Igbo.

It is important that we keep these people close because we are not many...we can't afford to leave anyone behind... Nigeria is not a sure country...we are not stable enough for someone to say there won't be division of the country tomorrow.


Igbo nation must start preparing for that without including non igbos

If you notice you will see that any time this topic comes up, 90% of those saying there are no Igbo in the south south are neither from Anioma or Ikwerre...it's a psychological warfare against Igbos from all angles bro

LMAO. He told you Ika is Igbo? Ika people even have a hard time accepting being part of Delta North. You simply know nothing about Delta State nor the SS. Too myopic

selemempe:
if we hit you on the head with the truth like a hammer you will still say the same nonsense. The man speaking is an Ikwere man and what he was saying in that video was that Ikwere must remain Igbos if they want to keep ruling rivers state.

Interesting also is the fact the he is the secretary of ohaneze

Is this a joke? When is a census ever determined by one man?

selemempe:
we have done that before and we know the statistics..

Nope you haven't. Where is the video evidence? I told you were aren't some brainwashed big babies...

selemempe:
I am not alone...
Listen to this...

100% of Igbos believe Anioma and ikwere are part of the Igbo nation
Up to 40% of ikwere and anioma people themselves believe they are Igbo
80% of the rest of Nigeria see Anioma and ikwere as Igbo

You will understand the power of these statistics in the future.

You are the one trying to usurp an identity that you are not part of...let me ask you....Are you Anioma or Ikwerre or Igbo? How does the topic concern you if not that you want to insinuate yourself in what is not your business

An Anioma man below can be seen saying they are Igbo....and funny he is even the gov of your state...life must be hard for you

Ohaneze Ndigbo meeting in Warri? Delta South? ����������������� Jokers.

selemempe:
no we don't want Calabar, warri and other parts of rivers state...we just want our igboland intact ....I'm sure our map doesn't cross into your territory... you just want to make mischief...but you should know that Igbos are the chief priests of mischief

All these as what?

Before these permutations, how about something practical. Go on the streets of Asaba, Ibusa, Agbor, Aboh, Umunede, Bonny or even Port Harcourt, do a census, asking the locals about this trash you put up here, record your conversation (video evidence), post it and I won't need any further convincing.

It's 2020 for f**k' s same, you can't decide for someone else from your home!

selemempe:
if anybody told the British that there would be a civil war in Nigeria just 6 years after they left they won't believe it....so relax...what will happen in the next 4 years is still unknown not to talk of 20 years. Igbos have made their stance clear...they want to go it alone...they don't need Hausa or yoruba or ijaw...

There was never a time Igbos was chased out of any part of Nigeria except during the civil war...buying land in pH is very strategic but I don't expect you to see

pH is Igbo...we are not claiming warri or Benin or Calabar or Uyo or bayelsa...just leave Asana and pH for us and Biafra and Niger Delta can be good neighbors

I repeat...it will be childish for an urhobo man to think that there will be a future where Igbos will be excluded from pH while urhobo is included....perish that thought...we don't want your tribe...stop attaching your tribe to Igbo areas and hiding under 'south south' why can't your tribe stand alone? If Qataris can...why can't your tribe? Why do you need to attach to ikwere and anioma?

I don't have an issue with that but you can't decide sh*t from your house as far as I'm concerned, you're nobody. Asaba and Port Harcourt are part of South-South Nigeria until they choose otherwise. Shey Israel and America will help you, you don't have to usurp people's identity because you want to have ports. Botswana and Rwanda are landlocked. They do not have sea ports but they're doing quite well. Having ports have no bearing on how well a country does so run along now...

selemempe:
who said Rivers state was an Igbo state?

What has been said is that Port Harcourt which is only a small part of Rivers state is igbo
Your arguments are childish joor

So what, Biafra intends to take Port Harcourt and leave the rest of Rivers State. Hehehe... Will you take Calabar and Warri too then call it an Igbo "city" regardless of the identity they want for themselves.

selemempe:
they have decided?
Child please you can't decide to change your tribe or race! It's part of your DNA ...a blackman can't decide he is no longer black... you can change your nationality or sub-nationality...but you can't change tribe or race. If you bring an ikwere man, an Igbo man and a yoruba man and check their RNA, the ikwere and the Igbo will match 100% while the yoruba will be different.

And hey ....it seems you have not been paying attention...Igbos are dealing with it. Why do you think we are always talking about this issue? Go to Wikipedia and read about ikwere and see what smart Igbos are doing about it. Go to pH itself and see how Igbos are strategically acquiring it. It will be childish of any 'we the south south' folks to think that if Nigeria splits today Igbos will abandon pH to Niger Delta Republic....it will not happen!

pH is too strategic to us...it is our only link to the ocean.... Oh ijaw and the rest of the south south should be ready to kill every igbo for pH before we leave our god's given land to you just because of threats

LMFAO. What a way to start the day! Firstly dude, we aren't brainwashed animals. Nigeria can't split today; not even in the next 20 years so perish any thought of such.

Secondly, Igbo strategically acquiring Port Harcourt? Come on man, just like Lagos, after developing, the owners of the land will chase you out like they did before. Land isn't an asset to boast of especially in a volatile region like the Niger Delta.

Lastly, you must exposed this scam called 'Biafra'! So the only reason you attach AS to this farce is because of the ports at Calabar, Warri and Port Harcourt? But if Rwanda and Botswana can do it without ports, why can't Biafra? Or you don't believe in your capabilities? In other words, you're want us to align ourselves with a cause so you can exploit us just like Nigeria has done for over 50 years now? Well, like I say, it becomes a case of the devil you know.

Btw, where is voltron14 when you need him.

selemempe:
you my friend are just acting like a block head without the ability to reason deeply

Let me ask you...as the entire south south states are multi ethnic, why is Ibibio the dominant language in Uyo? Why not pigeon English?
Why is ijaw the dominant language in yenagua why not pigeon English?

You are the one who is guilty of quoting a thread you didn't understand and talking trash that is unrelated to what the op was saying...and 4 dull people even liked your silly comment...great

Uyo is now a state? You don't even know who you're forcing yourself on... In Akwa Ibom, there are the Annangs, Oron, Eket, Ibeno, Itu Mbonuso and the Andonis. All different tribes! Same with all South-South states.

And next time, trying reading and understanding before replying.

Eziokwu1:
Asaba is in a Multiethnic state, but I can do everything I want to do comfortably speaking igbo only in Asaba.
Your argument can't hold H2o

Asaba a state? Who tha f**k is this illiterate?!

centboy123456:
we have Delta igbo the govern of delta state is an igbo man and am from the igbo speaking part of delta state pls say what u know

Delta has Urhobo, Isoko, Ijaw, Itshekiri, Ika, Anioma all in the same state. So which one is dominant? None! That's being homogenous so no one can say Delta is an Igbo state.

selemempe:
saying that PH is igbo is not the same thing as saying that Delta State, Edo, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River or Bayelsa is Igbo.

Who taught you book?

Ph can be Igbo while some other parts of rivers state isn't...

Besides the op is asking why ikwere (which is a very igboid language) is not spoken in pH like yoruba is spoken in Lagos

Blind hate for igbos make some of you sound unintelligent

Another dry and totally unrelated mention. The entire South-South states are all multi-ethnic so a language or tribe can't claim dominance or superiority over others.

gidgiddy:
The Ngwa man is also known as the Ngwa man
The Abiriba man is the Abiriba man
The Aro man is the Aro man
The Nsukka man is the Nsukka man
The Abakiliki man is the Abakiliki man


The Ikwerre man is the Ikwerre man

Their no difference between all these people, no matter what tag they give themselves

They all speak the Igbo language as their ancestral language, they all have Igbo surnames and they all practice Igbo culture

There is no difference between them

Bla bla bla. It won't change anything. They're Ikwerres and should be allowed to create an identity for themselves without being harassed. No be by force to answer Igbo. We no dey carry drugs.

gidgiddy:
It doesnt matter what tag Ikwerre people give themselves. What is important is that there is no difference between an Ikwerre from River state and an Ngwa man from from Abia or an Nsukka from Enugu state

They all speak the same ancestral language and practice the same culture. Whatever they choose to tag themselves doesnt take away they fact that they are all one people

Nope. They aren't one. They've decided to carve out an identity for themselves no matter who they bear cultural similarities with. They prefer being known as the Ikwerre people so deal with it and stop being parasites...

Eziokwu1:
Nobody is parent to anybody, the main point is that we all descent from the same ancestral stock of people. Hence why all our dialects share great degrees of mutual intelligibility. The biggest shrine of Amadioha/Kamalu is somewhere in Rivers state.
Oil politics is really doing a lot of damage to the psyche of some of our people.

Our people?! I wonder what part of we are not brothers don't you understand?! You have oil, the west has oil, the north does have oil so there's nothing like 'oil politics'

You may have similarities in language and culture but that doesn't mean you're the same. No Rivers man (Ijaw or Ikwerre) will ever accept the tag of Igbo. Same with the rest of the SS. Everyone has his identity, deal with and stop forcing cohabitation...

Eziokwu1:
Exactly my question. Why isn't your Ikwerre language of any importance in the city if you claim to be non-Igbos?

Wtf is he saying! As if speaking Igbo helps anybody...

Port Harcourt and Rivers in general aren't Igbo. It's just like saying, Delta State, Edo, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River or Bayelsa is Igbo.

Compare Onitsha or Aba to Lagos in that sense.

We SS, looking at SE and SW trying to justify Aba, Buba Pupa and their grade of dirtiness...

So when you're about travel out of the country (I know you all want to leave ASAP), which passport do you submit to the Embassy?

No offence. Where are the pictures of Nigerian soldiers at the burial ceremony? Or they've gone already

Man. I miss SA (the Americas generally, except the US). Cartels or not, it's still 2000% fun and games.

Have you ever felt terrible after a Valentine's gone wrong? Share your experience.

She keeps scoring only 2 goals every time.

How many did you score? If it's to talk trash, you'll get an A. Nonsense.

1. 9/11 Prediction

Predicted: 1997
Came true: 2001

In season 9’s, “The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson”, Lisa holds up an ad for a $9 bus trip to Manhattan. The “9” is conveniently placed next to a picture of the World Trade Center, creating an apparent “11”. If that’s not enough, the stolen vehicle in the episode is found right in front of the World Trade Center. The episode premiered in 1997 but was taken down following the 9/11 attack.

2. 2014 World Cup

Predicted: March 30, 2014
Came true: July 13, 2014

Well football fans, there you have it. During “You Don’t Have to Live Like a Referee”, the Simpson’s are invited to the World Cup tournament, and Homer is asked to referee. Throughout the episode, Germany beats the favored Brazilians, and ends up dominating the entire tournament. Referee Homer, on the other hand, ends up accepting bribes and getting into major trouble. Fast forward a couple of months, at the 2014 World Cup, Germany was crowned the champions and two FIFA presidents were accused of widespread corruption.

3. Virus Out of Asia

Predicted: 1993
Came true: 2020

Soon after the appearance of the coronavirus in China, Simpsons fans pointed out that the yellow family did it again and predicted a virus that would come out of Asia. During the episode, Marge Chained, a Japanese worker from the city of Osaka coughs in front of a box addressed to Homer Simpson. After 6-8 weeks, the box reaches Homer and, when he opens the box, he inhales a green cloud which causes him to get a rare disease.

4. Curious George and the Ebola Virus

Predicted: 1997
Came true : 2014

Marge offers to read Bart, who is depressed, a book, which happens to be titled “Curious George and the Ebola Virus”. In 2014, when there was a major Ebola outbreak in the US, viewers where immediately shocked by “The Simpsons” predictive tendencies. Seriously, what are the odds?

5. The Nobel Peace Prize Goes To…

Predicted: 2010
Came true : 2016

During season 22, Milhouse bet on Bengt Holmstrom winning the Nobel Peace prize in Economics…a full 6 years before it happened! You can see the Nobel Prize betting pool on the scoreboard, and the MIT professor is clearly evident on one of squares.

6. Horse Meat Scandal

Predicted: 1994
Came true : 2013

Lunch lady Doris always had a cigarette in her mouth and always made bad food. So, it came as no surprise that Springfield Elementary was hiding a nasty secret: the ‘magical’ ingredient in the cafeteria dinner was horse meat. Well, 20 years later, it was revealed that some beef in Europe was contaminated with horse meat, and sold as 100% beef. It slowly ended up in children’s lunch food around UK and Ireland. Coincidence?
