Please beware of who you give lift on the road, a commuter assisted a uniformed police man while traveling; after a few poles the policeman got off the car and had secretly dropped two bullets on the floor of the car. The commuter out of divine intervention had a. Prompting to check where the policeman sat and noticed the bullets and threw them away. Shortly after a few poles he was stopped at a police checking point and properly cleared and thoroughly searched as if they knew he had something. They dismantledthe seats while they communicated with someone on the phone. After several hours of thorough searching he noticed the guy he gave lift earlier had arrived at the same check point but refused to come close, and he was allowed to go. He noticed that they were startled like it's impossible. Pleaserebroadcast this. Many innocent persons may have been killed or jailed as a result of this wicked plot of criminal minded and wicked hearted uniformed men.

you are wrong,societies don't need to venture out to succeed. China was a hermit state and never ventured out,Japan too-- if fact they had. 200year of isolation from the world and made progress with health,business and art.If you are very familiar with Japanese history like me you would know that. Most of the world progress was made in America by Americans they never ran away from home like us Igbos. You are only correct on Britain venturing out.

but why are you claiming igbo..are you ashamed of your Yoruba heritage ..I have seen your post history so stop this impostors


be proud of Yoruba ..igbo will impact in the rest of 170 million Nigeria from the clothe they wear to phone they use then to shoes the wear even drugs they take ..there must be igbo imprints ..and how do we achieve this ...economic domination..by venturing out

Ugomba:
hahahahahahaha.. Stop shouting like a woman and come to Asaba here and make that statement..

ugomba hope you have seen it...he is now calling Asaba refugee camp and how they can insult people easily baffles me

Ugomba:
guy no fall my hand, why replying these morons.. They don't know how we deltans view them.

Ugo ..kedu? hope you have seen that thing we were discussing on your thread some few days ago ...how these non igbo will come and tell us igbo who is igbo and where each igbo belongs ...it can be so funny...


enwebeghi Ife ifuru...they will display their stupidity but we have to counter them


Udo di...dalu rinne

ejirede:
point of correction, Asaba belong to south south

where is south south in geographical cardinal point..where is south south in Nigerian tribe ... its only in Nigeria that you hear the term south south...what of north north or west west ...how can a sensible person say he is south south


dude Asaba are pure igbo so deal with it or rest in peace

kpodosky:
you are wrong,societies don't need to venture out to succeed. China was close to a hermit state and never ventured out to settle,Japan too-- in fact they had 200year of isolation from the world and made progress in health,business and art during those periods with trickling knowledge from the dutch at Dagshima.If you are very familiar with Japanese history like me you would know that. Most of the world progress was made in America by Americans-- they never ran away from home like us Ibos. You are only correct on Britain venturing out. Yes we leave home but it's because of the spirit of adventure,economy, curiosity and the desire to control ones destiny in every Ibo man or woman.We have guts and capacity to adapt and we dominate every land we enter.We are not satisfied with what is;we want to know what will be.

another lie ...China has been venturing out right from the time of maco polo to Ming dynasty so stop lying ...America was as a result of British venturing out ..today you see American businesses in Saudi ,Dubai even in Tokyo and you say they are not venturing out


Yoruba need to explore the world not staying at home eating gbegiri and complain when we descend on them economically and I wonder what makes youruba think east isn't developed


they do not understand the principle of economic expansion ...its only the Hausa that understand this ..they also venture out and dominate certain trades like forex ...so let Yoruba keep complaining while Igbo's keep economy of Yoruba places ..I am thinking if a situation where the average Nigeria must have igbo impact in her or his life daily ...from food he eats to vlitgers he where to phone he uses ..there must be igbo imprint in that ..that is what we want and we can achieve that ..170 million is a huge market we can't afford to stay at home ...and these market is waiting for our solutions so we will deliver this business to the hinterland


we the igbo must first seek economic domination then we can talk politics ...the person that has the economy is the one that politician beg so we must ensure that our imprints is in all the nook and cranny of Nigeria from arms dealing to purr water market from edible to ICT


WE IGBO MUST DOMINATE THE MARKET and I encourage any igbo to venture out and repatriate the money home

that's smartness and wise men always come from east


let's enjoy one Nigeria for now

tonyfrenzy:
Funny thing is that hardly can any outsider get fully rooted in an Igboland. I don't blame them anyway, it is their cultural ways of life that makes them that way.
But people can actually decide to evolve sha.

has ikpu nne GI evolved ?

ibedun till then let's see but as of now let's dominate you economically and choke you ...don't forget that repossession won't be gotten on a platter so get ready for anything and the battle ground will be west now not east..then you will do with the after effects of battle

so ibedun think

princdebola201:
Have notice this thing among the igbos 85% of them don't established their business on their soil.
They have to move to other region in other to succed in their business.
Even with boko haram menace in borno some igbos re still trooping there for business..
They left their Land to develop another region,
Anambra looks like the whole state is in under construction

Abia state have the dirtiest city in west africa

Ebonyi is like an abandoned state

Enugu and imo re only the decent states in south east

Is hardly you u will see a man that leaves his comfort zone to another to suffer when he have everything at his disposal back home..


My question re igbos running away from their Land when they claim they have everything..?

the way Yoruba reason sometimes baffle me ..OK let me teach you


it's called venturing out...no venture no success
fortune favours the brave

if British empire didn't venture out they won't be great
if Japanese Chinese American didn't venture out they won't be great
if the great Roman empire didn't venture out they won't be great

no group of people becomes great by staying in their tiny place as yoruba do ..that's why igbo is intimidating everybody with economic domination and that to Mr is path to greatness

the south east and south south economy is under igbo 90% so they need a greater chunk OG the north economy ..then share in south west economy ..as if today they have like 50% of south west economy

so you see the advantage of going out...if I were you...I will advise you to leave gbegiri at I amala and venture out


it make you brave ....learn to survive in strange land that is Spartan ...this us why they call some of you peeps cowards due to this mindset


landlord travel and see

uvalued:
thanks how do one test if his gas cooker is leaking?

use your nose dear

these mbaitolu guys have a way of making money off these Muslim dudes .. I am sure if this I grew up in IMO and I know how they can confuse the umrah they r Muslim and collect money from them ..it is called guy


so not a new one and don't be fooled.

Afam4eva:
Whoever got the idea that Ikwerre is an Igbo dialect. Ikwerre has always been an edo dialect as they migrated from benin.

lol funny

they are in short Edo

funny stupid ikwerre and lies

Sconty09:
what about ovens?

oven doesn't use wave so oven is okay

ckmayoca:
Don't mind them. When I put 3 lines in one micro wave, airtel and etisalat refuse to ring but mtn stubborn and it's rang meaning mtn has stronger frequency.

lol

Artistree:
I just tried it but lo and behold, my phone rang! Ain't using that dam thang no more, I fear cancer die cos it has killed many people I know.
Thanks got the timely info, I would never have known this. It's even high time I changed the MW, it's more than 5years old.

then give me a hug darling

Chigold101:
thankio my brother

your welcome

asha80:
listen to it then you will know why there are reservations

I will try ..but most if what I heard is that the radio is propagating violence and that is what I hate

blood shed

I rarely talk about this biafra thing not that I am against or for it ..I am just worried about hate campaign in radio Biafra ..I have not listened tobit though ...I will tune in online one if these days


what I am against is force or war but referendum just like UK did and what Catalonia is doing not the Kurdistan way

phantom:
with the likes of ochendo abi? Look,the igboman has far more important things to sort out than biafra at the moment. Are we even United? Who will lead us in biafra? The fact we are mouthing off and chest beating because of one retard (yeah i think hes deranged) in the UK who keeps insulting people,shows we are not ready.

as of united we are united don't let them decieve you as of leadership ..that will emerge but it will be based on consultative forum ...

Chigold101:
my brother please forget propaganda and lies that were built after the civil war.

The truth is that some Igbo's migrated west and later returned down south.
Eze Chima in Igbo means King Chima because up till now Igbos still answer Chima. Onitsha is a corrupt version of Onicha. It is the white people that changed Onicha to Onitsha for convenience sake.
My brother... If you go to Ebonyi state, we have a place called Onicha too. In Delta we have Onicha Ugbo, which in Igbo means a place for faming.

In Onitsha of Anambra state, the place main market is, is called Otu Nkwo. Nkwo is both market and day in Igboland.

In Igboland, every family has Obi. Obi is the head of every family before church came and changed many things.

My point in all these, is that... This version of story of Ikwere and Onitsha coming from Bini is a very big lie.

they will not tell you that some parts of Onitsha came from iguedo the only daughter of NRI

but why waste mb on these fellows anyway ?

they won't say that ...but we have onicha in delta igbo , we have onicha in anambra we gave in Ebonyi we have in IMO we have onicha in abia also...so maybe in their stupidity their Benin named all these places ..just like owerre ..we have towns names owerre in all igbo speaking areas even in delta igbo ..so owerre we as from maybe Sydney

why don't you ignore them

coolitempa:
It is quite shameful indeed....shameless animals....even in the picture.......apart from the staff of office.. ...you can see his dressing is in white and Benin beads which is the known attire of the Kingdom of Benin Chiefs..... ....so we can see Anioma is not ibo...neither is ikwerre.....or etche......or ika....or agbor or asaba.....most of these places are either independent of old Benin.... ...the ibos r just the four landlocked States in the SE....they are free to go with those..... ...but if they touch any of our brothers no sisters.......retribution will be terrible...

after all these ranting ...who made you the spokesman

please google mid west invasion
thank you ....oh talk is absolutely cheap

Habakus:
Well,from all what I've gathered here,there's no doubt whatsoever that Ikwerres are Igbos.
It's only but an ignorant fellow that will bear Igbo names(even his/her great grand parents had Igbo names too),speak Igbo language,have Igbo kings,have Igbo culture and still allow some other persons to rewrite his/her history. That is the most subtle and easiest way for the person's genealogy and identity to be lost.
As for the Ijebus,the Aworis; especially the Ijebus,I feel they still have a lot of researches to do concerning their ancestry. Personally,I feel they are not Yorubas; or atleast not from the stock of the 'conc' Yorubas. Infact,majority of them greatly differ from the 'conc' Yorubas in terms of physical attributes,character,social disposition etc.
Weldone Pazienza. I like how you comment with facts,experience and maturity.

you have said the archeological and sociological fact but mind you these insulting kids will call you names

ARIZONA123:
. You know one thing about you low lifers. U think everybody is as jobless and useless as you guys. Tony is a gentleman who can employ ur entire poverty stricken cursed family. Gerrout

one thing I have noticed is that most of them are kids , most of them are still dependent on their folks and can't stand on their own and what I do is through facts on them and ignore their ranting ...why engage a nobody ..so I let them whine

they are happy to say who is igbo or not but when you through history on them instead of refuting it they start making jest of themselves

well I am not surprised their people are known to be loud , obnoxious and braggards

what do you do to their type? ignore them ...you can see how they talk ..like kids they are



many of them will not be able to talk to most of us in real life ...with all due humility ...internet is a leveler anyway


nna kedu

after1:
Abeg dont loud it. Lets see who will get tired

i will get tired because I am busy...in short I am even tired..got work to do.


have a great day...IKWERRE ARE FROM MARS, YORUBA ARE FROM MOON, IGBOS ARE FROM SUN , IJEBUS ARE FROM JUPITER, AWORI ARE FROM URANUS wif that will make your day so be it


HAVE A BLESSED DAY SON

I am TIRED...your correct. I have better things to do



Pls dont quote me again...you won


bye

SUBWAY101:
[s][/s]


I just dey laugh you cos you dont know whats up. You will cry soon, continue with your rubbish. Those that will deal with you will do so to hurt you badly. You think you all have monopoly of rewriting history about people...ahahahaha. The game is on.

So serving you people in your own pill you do not love it? Oh no wonder, but you are here telling us who is igbo or not...maybe i will tell you who is Yoruba or not..maybe you have forgotten that we have information on line today and information can be sourced in few seconds. I will advise you to stay away from who is igbo or not...that is not your forte and stop rewriting people history..can you even imagine your still in igbo thread and your happy that ikwerre history is been rewritten and when Yoruba fact is thrown aat you..you will want to hurt yourself or somebody...


What you don’t love don’t use it on others. Karma is a terrible guest you know. So desist from causing division or confusion. We know ijebu, kabba and okun position on yorubahood but we let the sleeping dogs lie..so let your own sleeping dogs lie

It doesn’t pay to be an irritant and nasty...have a good day. I have better things to do for the day

I notice that most people that are non igbo are so keen in telling us who is igbo or not and when they are not sure nor have stepped foot in igbo speaking areas be it in East of Niger Delta. It baffles me why they are so keen in seeing igbo divide, these set of people are so obnoxious that I have come to detest ever dealing with them online. These kids can be so nausauting. I never knew most of these people from Western Side of niger will want to re write people history just the other day they claimed that benin people are one of the sons of oduduwa...in that thread a benin son made them understand that they begot oduduwa...now they are ejaculating over ikwerre igboness or not. I have ikwerre in laws and they have not denied igboness even Rotimi Amaechi said he is an igbo so why this craze for anything igbo.

Maybe in their stupidity they forgot that we have Ikwerre , Nkwerre, Owerre, Okwelle, and other igbo groups in OHA NAEZE ndi Igbo...so why this madness. I wonder why people are so jobless. Most of these guys are so jobless that they post and hang around nairaland daily..watch the time of their post, so many of them are so disoriented in life that they do not have plan for the day some wake up cursing as early as 8 AM ...not that is called been terribly jobless and I do not engage those.

Now i understand that the devil uses the idle man as a warehouse

Peace ..well most ikwerre can claim edo, Jamaica, bolivian even Haitian but i have seen proud ikwerre that say they are igbo like ezepromoe ..so why this madness

Nice post my brother

pazienza:
[b] Meanwhile, the late father of Nigeria’s
nationalism, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, had
discussed the best strategies for reducing
the animosity between the Igbos and their
Minority neighbours as well as dousing
the ethnic tension between Ikwerres and
their riverine co-indigenes of Rivers State.
It was agreed that as the touted largest
Minority group, the Ijaw needed a state of
their own. But with their emotional
attachment to Port Harcourt, how would
Rivers State be split without creating a
permanent ethnic war front in Nigeria’s
premier oil city?
With the Ijaw groups obviously being
favoured by the Northern-led Federal
Government, Eze Woluchem, a lawyer who
was installed paramount ruler of Port
Harcourt in 1977 turned to Dr Azikiwe,
appealing for him to support the
aspirations of his Igbo kinsmen in the
struggle. An ageing “Zik” referred the
Eze’s delegation to Commodore Ukiwe,
who had become Zik’s close political
confidant. The Eze’s delegation of four,
which included the late Chief Okogbule
Wonodi and Chief Andrew Uchendu, met
with Ukiwe in his office in Victoria Island.
Their proposal was that Port Harcourt
State should only be for Igbo-speaking
Rivers people, while the Ijaw-speaking
part would be named New Rivers State.
On the other hand, the Kalabaris did not
want to be parted with Rivers State,
neither did the Okrikas, and Ukiwe advised
that it would be “unstrategic” to cut out
Bonny, Opobo, Kalabari and Okrika, apart
from the fact that the Head of State,
General Abacha, who was pro-Ijaw, might
be pushed not to create any new state at
all.
Between Ukiwe and the Ikwerre delegation,
and taking into account the expressed
needs of others, the maps of the present
Rivers State and Bayelsa State were drawn
and presented to Abacha, who found it
acceptable.
On October 1, 1996, General Abacha
included Bayelsa as one of the six new
states approved by the Provisional Ruling
Council, PRC. The postulations put
together by Ukiwe and the Rebisi’s
delegates worked like magic. Today the
Ijaws have a state of their own with a
capital (Yenagoa) which is being styled
the “Jerusalem of the Ijaw Nation”. The
Igbo-speaking groups in Rivers State also
have a state in which they constitute a
comfortable majority and have led since
1999. The issue of “ownership” of Port
Harcourt has also been (partially)
resolved, as Governor Chibuike Amaechi
has retrieved the Crown Lands being
claimed by the Ikwerres and Okrikans into
government custody. [/b]
