Ebonyi1stson:
Lets face reality for once. I am from ikwo in Ebonyi state, but truth be told, what we speak in Ebonyi is not igbo. Do you know that I dare not speak Ebonyi direct where igbos from say Anambra folks are gathering. Our language and culture is quite different from what igbos speak.

That's because you are not proud of where you come from. I'm from Afikpo and I speak my dialect anywhere.
Do you know that there's a part of Anambra that speak a different dialect from the general Anambra that we know?

When people understand that there are variations in Igbo language, we will keep going over this everyday.

There are no much difference between Abakaliki/Ezza/Izzi dialect from the native Enugu. Most Enugu people adopted Anambra as their dialect but when they speak their native dialect, it sounds more like Abakaliki Ezza Izzi dialect...


For those saying Ebonyi people, there's nothing like Ebonyi people. You don't define a people by a POLITICAL GEOGRAPHICAL area... You define a people by their culture, traditions, etc... In Ebonyi state, there are different people... You have the Afikpos, Ezzas, Izzis, and Ohaozara/Onicha all with different cultures, dialects, traditions. So you can't call them a people. They were brought together by politics.
The Ebonyi north and central was in the old Anambra and Enugu state respectively while Ebonyi South was in old Imo and Old Abia state.

Had same experience. He called one Sunday morning that while they are merging access and diamond accounts, they found out that the DOB is different from my Diamond Access account. And that my ATM card has expired, I said yes. He asked if I have any other account, I said yes. He said I should give him the card number so he can help me rectify it. I told him not to worry that I will go to the bank. He said intact, that if I don't give him the details they will block my account now. I said no problem, they can block it that I will go to the bank. He dropped the call

Who and who did he scam?

Amarabae:
Greetings lovely humans!
This short post is aimed at correcting some misguided and delusional orientation that IPOBs have about Rivers state,
As Rivers state indigene born and bred there, though married to a south east state, I am well grounded about the total makeup of the south south state and IPOBs should learn.
1, Rivers state is not an Igbo state, it is erroneous to assert that , it is a multi ethnic state comprising of kalabaris, okrikas, ikwerres, Etches, Ogbas, Ekpeyes, Elemes, Ogonis etc
yes the ijoid sub-tribes there affirm a solidarity to Ijaw nation , likewise the ogonid sub-tribes affirm theirs to ogoni nation except for a little denial in eleme but There is NO strong or firm solidarity to the Igbo nation from any rivers tribes, the few little solidarity comes from egbemas in Onelga and we ASA/NDOKIS in Oyigbo, the reason why is because we still have our kit and kin in ukwa west, ukwa east and ohaji egbema LGAs.
The ikwerres, Ogbas,Ekpeyes,Ndonis,Etches Are recognised officially as an independent tribes in Rivers state, and since as a people, they have vehemently denied being Igbos , their decisions must be respected by IPOBs,
ikwerres are ikwerres
Ekpeyes are Ekpeyes etc case closed.
.
2, Port Harcourt is not an Igbo city,
you can't refer pH as an Igbo city just because of the ikwerre factor there when the ikwerres over the years have denied affinity with Igbos,
PH belongs to rivers tribes, case closed and there was no time in history it was officially registered as Igweocha, that was a nickname just like some call it Pitakwa.
3, Rivers state should be counted out of your biafran ipob map because at the mention of that name, many wounds that was sustained during the war gets opened up again,
wake up to reality and stop deceiving yourself, Rivers state government and even Rivers state council of traditional rulers have warned you IPOBs yet you irritants don't want to learn. is Alright,
4,The governor nyesom wike is not an Igbo man but Ikwerre man ,he has never claimed Igbo,
he is a bit Igbophobic, go and read about his igbophobic records as obio akpor local government chairman,
this same wike renamed a stadium after yakubu Gowon,. a man whose war actions killed many Igbos yet wike immortalised him ,yet your afara born direction keep deceiving you about wike on radio Biafra, you don't yet want to have sense.
Was it not wike who hosted the oba of Benin and affirmed ikwerres loyalty to his kingdom before him, you know all that yet you are living in denial, its alright!
5, The state is still Igbophpbic,case closed,
you are tolerated, not welcomed and you know that.
even nnamdi KANU knows this,that's why when he was around and was talking about coming to his Biafra capital "igweocha", the guyman parked at oyigbo and never stepped foot in pH, or core rivers area, he knew about the repercussions, let's stop deceiving ourselves
.
show me one ijaw man supporting Biafra and I will show you 1000 ijaw men who will spit when that name is mentioned, same with the ikwerres and co,
that's a bitter reality
,
If you have had a first hand experience of Igbophobic outrage from these minorities, you will know that the "Fulanis and Yorubas are learners"
I will stop here ,part 2 is coming.
You have been rejected many times yet you are still stubborn , that means that you have an ulterior plan,
Ipob stop attracting insults to the great Igbo Nations , have some self dignity before them,
The minorities don't need Igbos to survive , the Igbos don't need them to survive, but Ipob is making it look as if they are oxygen to Igbo's.
for me its either we restructure Nigeria or a homogenous Igbo only country ,
ipob should start waking up to reality before it is late.

I have many Ogoni guys that are supporting Biafra big time. Guys doing very well in their endeavour... I asked one day, I thought your people said they don't want Biafra, he told me to forget those people shouting online. That I should go to their village and confirm if they don't really want Biafra.

They said South South, and I know many Akwaibom guys that are supporting Biafra big time...they only people that I can say that don't want to have anything are Ikwerre people...

Yesterday, I found out that ikwerre people of isiokpo, ubima, those in ikwerre LGA speak a different kind of ikwerre from the Port Harcourt ikwerre dialect. The ikwerre LGA dialect sounds more like Igbo.
And I want to ask, which is the main ikwerre? Port Harcourt ikwerre or those from other side?

The man is a very stupid and useless fool. In this age, men are still blaming women for having female children? The sex of a baby is determined by the man and the time of conception. What you give a woman, she will give back.

In fact, that man should be thrown from a 20 storey building

festacman:
It is not just Kano. It is the same trend all over the country. Even here down South, there are more churches than hospitals. We need to change focus.

I disagree with you on the grounds that governments in the south don't build churches but individuals while in the north, the governments spend billions building mosques

I don't know why you guys are disturbing yourselves over confused people. Ikwerres are the most confused set of people I've ever seen...
A people that just found out that they're not Igbos in the 60's, added 'R' to the names of their villages after the war. Abeg, make Una leave them alone...

The problem with Rivers State are those security men... People travel in and out of the state every day. You then wonder what the state government is doing about it. My neighbor travels to imo state every weekend since the rivers state government declared the border closure... I have a friend who goes to Benin whenever she wants.she just returned 2 days ago... So how do they leave the state?

There's nothing to compare. As long as infrastructural facilities are concerned, Igbo land is far way behind.
All Igbo political leaders are criminals, evil, selfish and wicked...

The lives of people in port Harcourt dey God hand. The kain yama yama we de inhale for the town dey serious. Black sooth full everywhere...

My own is remaining 1.3 million after few months of working and I've been out of work for a while now...
The government should give back those that have been out of work for one or two years and have less than 2mill to them so they can invest. What's 1.3 mill going to do for me in the future when they start paying monthly...

The only people you will always hear talking about ND or South South are those ikwerre and riverine areas in Rivers State and the ijaws. You hardly hear anyone from Akwaibom or cross River talking about ND or south south unless when money is involved...

Besides, is ND a people? No. That government lumped a group of people together because of their common interest does not make you a people..

When ikwerre people are there dragging that they own Port Harcourt you're here talking what you don't know.

Briller:
It is possible her people won't approve of her marriage to an Ebonyi man. I can relate with to that cause I am from Anambra and when my senior brother informed us he wants to settle down with an Ebonyi lady, we all kicked against it because of their primitive behaviour and violent attitude. This might be a stereotype but owing to our previous experiences with neighbors who were from Ebonyi, it wasn't easy for us to accept his marriage to the lady in question. And guess what, he is done for. This lady can fight naked on the street, she steals, is diabolical, goes around sowing seed of discord, etc. Plenty demonic characters in one person.

So if her parents have had such an experience, it can make them reject you.

So all those things you listed there, you want to tell me no Anambra girl has ever exhibited those characters?

The whole thing is all stereotype. Even people who have never had any encounter with Ebonyi people will tell bla bla bla...

If you're a guy from Ebonyi state dating a girl from Anambra, please and please, do not put your whole heart in the relationship no matter how much you love the girl especially those Anambra girls that had lived all their lives in Anambra State. They see Ebonyi people as less humans... As you the love, put one leg in and another out. Those people carry racism for head like Galla...

They suppose don find one position give this man. He's always defending anything even Buhari's poo

MelesZenawi:
Which owerri?

Which wonders?

Linus and their mafias...

Oga, Owerri beat port Harcourt by far....
If Rochas had continued with the cleaner Owerri....

Do you compare the narrow roads in pH to Owerri's? Or the "batch's" houses in every corner of pH?

nengibo:
Then all the Yoruba people in Total for don finish

Because Total is not a state owned company. If Total was a state owned company, you won't even see Igbos there not to mention Yorubas.
I live in Rumuola. They will call everybody to come for a meeting and that the government gave them something. The next thing you start hearing, community, come this way

If you're not from Rivers State, no put hope there before you start hearing,
"

Indigenes/community, come this way"

All these hates and tribalism started here around 2014... A section of the country started abusing the other telling them how sophisticated they are in playing politics just because they said they don't want to vote a particular individual and the later had to fight back.....

How do we know the confirmed cases when you are hiding their identities?
This things would have been easy. List the names of those confirmed cases and see people avoid them. And people will also avoid those closer to them

Faithoo0:
My question is among these two cards which is more Complex and sensitive?

Do You Blame it on government incompetence or Technology?

It's government's incompetence.
The technology has made it easy for them. Pull data, certificates from the server and store on the card chips which takes less than 3 minutes to do.
In my former place of work, our ID badges were used for all authentications from logging into your systems, to accessing the premises. Certain rights given to individuals were all in the cards and the maximum time to get those cards ready was 3 minutes.

densiks:
The story sounds quite unclear.

The claim here is that she tested negative to covid-19,hence no clinical need for isolation.so why was she still kept in the abandoned building to the extent that she had to pass on there?

She was kept there while conducting the test. The sample was sent to Edo state.
She was there almost 3 days

Why didn't they quarantine him knowing Italy has second most affected persons? Last weekend games in Italy were suspended, some games during the week were played behind closed doors, that's being proactive.
Ighalo came from China, he was kept away from the rest of squad to monitor him, that's proactive. Many countries have people coming from counties infected quarantined but Nigeria, no. They have no excuse

Public Service Announcement.

1. Rebisi Kingdom
2. Oyigbo
3. Rumuomasi

Oyigbo is just on paper... It's called Obigbo in pH.
All the Rs added before the civil war?

Ikwerre people no de even shame. You only identify unaselves in the 60s and 70s

This thread have been diverted.

Meanwhile,

I was coming back from work one evening, I got to rumuola play ground, I was hearing drum beats, I thought I was in my village. Guess what, it was a local wrestling match. The same method it's been done in my village.
Maybe tomorrow, an Ngwa man will say he's not Igbo that he's Ngwa or Nsukka saying he's not Igbo but Nsukka.

Ikwerre people are the only people in Nigeria that found their identities in the '70s....

You claim to be from Benin and no one just one bears Benin name but all Igbo. I have a friend that their family name is Agwu from Umuadaolu, I was thinking he's from Ohafia.

Foxman19:
The issue I always have with igbo is that of I'm your parents and you are not my parents.

Try and understand his questions first before rushing to start calling Igbo this Igbo that...

They should create agency for repentant armed robbers, kidnappers, murderers etc.
