Politics › Re: PORT HARCOURT: Who Changed The Names From Umu To Rumu And Why by Tolexander: 9:19am On Oct 02, 2016 |
omonnakoda: http://247ureports.com/beyond-chimamanda-and-the-rumu-umu-controversyby-okachikwu-dibia/
Let me educate Chimamanda that Ikwerre names were first changed by the Igbos when the latter colonized the former under the Eastern Regional Government. During this time, Ikwerre was under total social, economic and political control of the Igbo, hence it was extremely difficult then to challenge the changing of Ikwerre names by the Igbo. Who was Ikwerre to challenge Igbo maximum leadership actions in Ikwerreland? We know the indignities suffered by late Chief E. J. A. Oriji in the Eastern House of Assembly and indeed in the hands of the Eastern Region government by insisting that Ikwerre is not Igbo.
Another means through which Igbo names came into existence in Ikwerre was via other interactions between the Ikwerre and the Igbo. But note that these interactions were initially with mutual respect but later became one between a stronger culture (Igbo) and a weaker culture (Ikwerre) within a new rampaging political regime that favoured the Igbo culture aimed at becoming an absolute dominant culture in the region. For example there were names like Port Azikiwe (Igbo name) for Port Harcourt; Igirita (Igbo name) for Igwuruta; Amaweke (Igbo name) for Rumuokwuta; Obinna (Igbo name) for Ovundah; Onyemaechi (Igbo name) for Yelemaekhile etc. Take note that the non-Igbo names were there before they were changed by the Igbo into Igbo names. Natuarally, the Ikwerre did not like the changing of such names; but Ikwerre could not challenge these local colonizers.
Also recall that during the Eastern Regional Government, Igbo language was the second official language used to teach in schools throughout the region, to worship in churches and used in offices. Some Ikwerre who dared to use Ikwerre language in the church for example were punished by the Igbo who were in charge of the churches in the first place (see page 145 in my book titled: The Challenge of Ikwerre Development in Nigeria 2011).
It was in these circumstances that, especially after the creation of Rivers State, Ikwerre people got relieved and encouraged enough to change some of the Igbo-imposed names back to their original Ikwerre names. It was this second change of names that Chimamanda and indeed most Igbos see as Ikwerre’s effort at denying being Igbo. That is not true! The real reason for the second change of names was to return the names to their true and authentic Ikwerre names. hmmm! educative! May God help in quenching this "change of name" issue between the "Rumuikwerre" and "Umuuganda/Umuisrael" |

Imagine!
A sensitive agency like NAFDAC, a man just came with its appointment letters and gave them out like a Christmas gift, with no test of competence for the appointment recipients.
Later, we start criticizing the relevance, existence and effectiveness of NAFDAC in "safeguarding the health of the Nation", not knowing this Hon and people like him have bastardized the agency recruiting not base on merit but political compensation.
This Hon. is dumb! |

Obasanjo went further to state that when he discovered the ban on the importation of toothpick was reversed by the Jonathan administration , he visited the then president in Abuja to ask why he lifted the ban on toothpick and [color=crimson]Jonathan said he did not read before he approved.[/color] Imagine! Well, his hangover mode has a daily activation by 7pm on "kaikai" and no time for snoozing. At this time of hangover, Patience Jonathan and other associates always seize to commit their crime, looting our Treasury.
