TheGoodJoe:
Nobody is comparing anyone with you. You are proud and you feel you are better than others. A lot of you feel this way. I am glad I do not. I look at everyone equally.

Being proud and feeling you bare better is nothing different than racism. Where the white skinned people feel the complexion of their skin make them better than the blacks.

Leave all those our Oil talk. I am not one of those people. I believe everyone has a role to play to make this country a better place. If we stop our ethnic and religious bigotry, Nigeria can be a force.

That's your own ideology....I am proud and I was brought up to be better and I also have no apology for this.



So you know all these things and you write that thing ab initio ...we Igbo are confident and it has helped us

menabadoo:
I know he must be Igbo. This people should give us Biafra on time abeg

So that you can invent missile and bomb them from ejemekwuru in IMO state then direct the missile will accurate precision to maybe ile ife or damaturu

mapet:
First off, He's not the first to build such a "model" excavator. Even right from the 80s people, had been buidling "models" like that and taking it to motor fair for display.

Secondly students in Polytechnics and Universities build more challenging projects than this toy. Nigerian Engineering students both male and female had been building Eco-Friendly model cars for the Shell Universities competition around the globe and they have been applauded for such feet. Recently some Unilag students built a model electric car.

Thirdly, I know the urge to make this an ethnic-centric rant had made the naive OP to make a senseless post. I will advise the OP that toying this line is just eroding the little value you have. Nigerian students have gone far above all these.........

What should be our objective now his to reverse the trend of our talents and potentials overseas, bring them back home and put their skill and competence to work; not as bragging rights on NL. 19 year old son of my friend recently graduated from a top institute in Ukraine, specialising in building drones. He has mouth-watering offers from US coys and universities. I had to plead with him to come back home after his advance training in the US(hopefully he will)

Monkey spited and spotted

EVILFOREST:
Yeaaaa we really know.
IGBOS and those agitating for BIAFRA should know that we are not doing badly as Igbos.
After all, this same TRIBE embarked on a ravaging CIVIL WAR, came out Of it still, energetic and Stronger .

This is what keeps me going as an IGBO man.
We have grown to challenge people who betrayed and oppressed us ACADEMICALLY, despite the war.
We went further to overtake many. That's why the ENVY is brewing.

We punish the EARTH by erecting edifices every corner of this country with the believe we are Nigerians, yet we are treated with disdain and levity.
A typical IGBO man is more of a true Nigerian than any other neighbour.
PLEASE, we can't afford another WAR , because some lazy dudes around are waiting patiently for another round of ABANDONED properties.

PEOPLE who can't afford our BEAUTIFUL LADIES are relying on WARS to RAPE them.

We can't just be FEEDING people, only
PLEASE, let's sheath our swords

Those who got the abandoned property have they fared well? The answer is ...NO they are busy drinking kai kai and waiting for oyel which the north holds

Afam4eva:
He has not done anything wrong. We must learn to entertain other opinions that are at variance with ours.

So you did not read it....they keep calling aba as if akwa ibom is El Dorado.... For heaven sake I know that damn place .....well


I know their people well also

mozel247:

Never heard..only in my apc been destroyed by Buhari.. I think we were better off as ACN.. Tot I voted for change from the way PDP use to do it.. But this one don worst ooooo

45k registered voters with 25k pvc.. Why declaring the election inconclusive inec...? Tot I voted for change from the way PDP

Good morning

tunex23:
The deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the recently concluded governorship election in Kogi State, James Faleke, has said he would not present himself for swearing-in with Yahaya Bello, the governorship candidate who was drafted in after the death of Abubakar Audu.
Mr. Faleke is billed to be sworn in on January 27, 2016, alongside Mr. Bello.
Mr. Faleke made his position known on Monday at Kabba at a meeting of APC stakeholders from Kogi West senatorial district.
He said his stance is in furtherance of his earlier letter to the national leadership of the party not to work with Mr. Bello, the governor-elect.
The politician, who was reacting to a resolution reached at the meeting that he should pursue the legal option to a logical conclusion, said the Audu/Faleke ticket remained intact and unchanged.
“I will not disappoint Prince Abubakar Audu. I, James Abiodun Faleke will not be there for the swearing in if we don’t finish the case before the January 27, 2016.
“Nobody consulted me before making me a deputy to Bello. Bello too did not consult me. I have made my position known to the party leadership on this. I am not ready to betray and disappoint Prince Abubakar Audu,” he said.
The tenure of the present administration ends on January 27, 2016 .
He also exonerated President Mohammadu Buahri from the crisis, saying Mr. Buhari he knew ‘cannot be a party to injustice and outright violation of the rule of law.’
Mr. Faleke warned the leadership of the APC against setting the party on a path of destruction through impunity and injustice, saying that they should learn from what happened to the Peoples Democratic Party.
He said that the present struggle was a complex one and beyond him, saying it was about emancipation of the people and the future of the state.
While asking the people not to fight or castigate anybody over the development, Mr. Faleke said those fighting in 2015 for positions in 2019 were trying God.
“People are fighting for 2019 in 2015. Are they God? What is happening is beyond human imagination,” he said.
He warned members and supporters of the party against fighting or castigating anybody, saying those behind the plot were only working to actualize God’s plan and the ultimate liberation of the state from the flaws of poverty and underdevelopment .
“I am a marathoner, no matter how bumpy and rough the road is, we shall get there, “ he said.
According to him, the constitutional crisis created by the sudden death of Mr. Audu, when finally resolved, will enrich the country’s democracy .
He thanked the Igalas for their support and resolve to defend the mandate with their blood and assured them that their efforts would not be in vain.

Can't this man just grow up....

Afam4eva:
@TheGoodJoe
While I agree with you to a large extent especially as it pertains to Igbos holding their leaders accountable as I highlighted in the this thread https://www.nairaland.com/2766901/igbos-need-redirect-protests-leaders. However, I think the agitations for those who want out is beyond that. I think necessarily think Igbos are lagging way beyond other states and regions in terms of dividends of democracy from their governors. All the Governors in Nigeria are the same in my opinion savevfor a few. If you talk about Akpabio or Fashola BVN or Amaechi like you stated, you have a Chime, Peter Obi and to some extent Rochas. The fact that these men have not built gargantuan edifice like Always Ibom is because of the scarcity of funds for such projects which is one of the bones of contention by Igbos. Why should we be reduced to 5 states while other zones have 6 and 7 respectively especially when the number of states and local government determines how much allocation goes to a state. Why are we not been considered when they want to cite important federal institutions? As i speak to you, there's little to zero federal presence in the entire Igboland. Why are we being shortchanged in terms of federal appointments? Even in Jonathan's regime that people thought were filled with Igbos and SS, mk ost government ministries and parastatal were still dominated by Northerners and their friends. Why is there. Federal character system when the region that it favours have never been mistreated by the Nigerian government similarly to the way African Americans were mistreated in the US. If anything federal character should favour Igbos who are recovering from the civil war and not the same people who have held this nation to ransome. So, all this issues culminate into why the Biafran protest is rife.

Thanks afam ...but warn him

Kagawa10:
Will you stop giving every word ibo translation?
Same way you are hell bent on giving Ukwuani an ibo meaning!
Very shameless!

...ukwu ani is jusis Igbo

In delta we have the ukwuani which means valley or low land

Then we have the enuani which mean up land


So what is the meaning of ukwuani in Latin or Greek

Atulu

HopeAtHand:
Abagworo will not invite me to this kind of thread, he will greedily love to post here alone and enjoy himself.

For the millionth time, Ikwerre history is not and cannot be limited to one migratory story..we know of the Okpo Wagidi story as told by some sections, but the generally accepted version is the Akalaka version as it is more encompassing and is also the origin of some other sister tribes/ethnicities.

Wether Ikwerre was Igbo in Jan 1969 and then Ikwerre in 1970 is not the issue..the Koko is the fact that overtime, long before the civil war, Ikwerres have sought several means to free themselves from the misconception being perpetuated by Igbos that Ikwerres were a part of them.

Ikwerres prior to the civil war had been members of different organisations, movements and fronts with the sole intention of breaking free and forging a separate identity..we and other minorities had fought for recognition and were still doing same until the civil war presented itself an opportunity to realise our desires

One wonders how the Igbos now assume we will relinquish our hardly fought identity because someone needs Biafra..the earlier Igbos learn to forget Ikwerre and PH, the better..Igbos should not unnecessarily put their hopes on a people who do not want to be a part of them, so that their Biafran dreams wouldn't be seen as being DOA...

Beside that nobody is forcing and nobody has forced Owerri, ngwa man to relinquish the identity


They said and wrote your Benin history and I wonder how can matured man allow some monkeys to write their history for them

Beside that which identity are you talking ...I have the capacity to fire from all cylinders ...but let me enjoybtye breeze

shachris02:
mpa, is ekpeye an igbo word? I Don't know much of ikwere words But I know igbo So well to know that ekpeye is not our language.

So have you seen the Benin elements in ijwetre
We are still waiting for you

TheGoodJoe:
You can see, you always talk with sentiments. You guys are ready to celebrate individuals at the detriment of collective developments. I do not care how many billionaires or technocrats are in your areas.

I am talking of wild scale development in the area. Before you keep abusing me, I am half Igbo, my maternal side were part of the war.

Do you see your statement? That is why other tribes will not join in your match and that is why winning a war will be next to impossible. Your statement shows arrogance and you are looking down on other tribes.

Please stop all those superiority talk. We are all created by one God. Every tribe is great, including the Hausas, Yorubas, Akwa Ibomites, Ijaws, Riverines and so on.

You brought it on yourself ...don't joint other reasonable ones will join...other sensible one that saw the selling of bakassi to Cameroon will join other one that saw their people become homeless and stateless will join not a ones like you....

They don't need you...you need to start thinking ...Mr. Our oyel ...I laugh

Oga you are not Igbo and there is nothing like half measured Igbo

When you talk about akwa ibom I laugh ...Oga I am an anambra man and we are proud ...when did you guys start comparing yourself with us


Hmmmmmm nawa


Or do you want us to measure our development in my place . .both human economic and infrastructure anambra is far ahead ...have you not seen have you not heard

Keep calling aba... They are building it but I am anambra and you are no Igbo not even half

RICHESTBABA:
then stop shouting SS or ND! Period

Pls remind me the tribe in the ss
Where is ss in cardinal financial point

Abagworo:
There are more Bini words in Igbo than in Ikwerre but Ikwerres have said they are not Igbo and that should be respected.

Why ?


What about the ikwerre that said and I know that say they are Igbo


That also should be respected

Abagworo:
You quoted Wiki but Ekpeye means Akpa Ohia and they accept that. Unlike Ikwerre, Ekpeye started talking about Benin origin long time ago alongside Ogba. Ikwerre was not one of Akalaka's children and Akalaka was from Igbo part of Benin empire around Agbo.

Ogba and Ekpeye are children of Akalaka but recently in a bid to justify false claims some mischievous children of Ikwerreland started claiming that Ihuruoha is a corruption of Ikuruoda in order to lend credence to Benin links.

You see where their lies lie

shachris02:
the fact still remains that irhuoha is from Edo. Ikwerre can for any word to want to mean anything.

Have you found the Benin words and culture in ikwerre


We still dey wait

fratermathy:
It'll be appreciated if this reaches its proper audience for a wider range of votes. Authenticity is in numbers.

Abagworo:
Igbos are not hated by anybody. The Yorubas and North in particular care less about Biafra unlike South-south. The whole issue is about the fate of South-south people. They prefer a Nigeria with checks and balances to Biafra where Igbos will dominate.

Igbos made it clear that it is only igboid clans that are wanted maybe Ibibio others can go to anywhere


Where crying more than the bereaved

waternogetemeny:
They are not humans but blood sucking demons. Demons enjoy wen their victim suffers.

Have they not told u dat onitsha is BENIN?

Everything is Benin and then Benin is yoruba.

Wen u think of the Benin, it is not bigger than Awka or Owerri.

A very tiny local government area.

When I heard that Onitsha thing ...I was like what the fvck is wrong with these guys and they forget that in al the states in east we have onicha


They said zik said so...I asked them is zik the igwe of Onitsha or custodians

They are terrible

Is it not the small Benin that biafran invaded with 24 hours during mid west invasion

OK tell us the mixture and what percentage

Tell us the Benin words and culture in ikwerre ..or do you want me to assume that Igbo the almighty Igbo erased the so called Benin traces


Now I understand why Igbo is great

They erase people traces and mind so much that they look upto bearing Igbo names


Oga

You are not making sense yet

Show us the Benin admixture in your ikwerre

shachris02:
and What's the meaning of Ekepeye in igbo?

The Ekpeye (Àkpà ọ́híá) are a people in southeastern Nigeria with a distinct culture and rulers of a former kingdom. The Ekpeye are usually included as a subgroup of the Igbo people on linguistic and cultural grounds. They speak an Igboid language. Ekpeye people live in the Ahoada (Ahuda) and Ogba-Egbema areas of Rivers State in Nigeria, and were a population of about 80,000 by the 1991 census, the number has increased by about 63% increasing them to approximately 130,000, according to the 2006 census estimates.


Still waiting for your Benin words Oga
