Corridon:
This man will make a good comedian.

Is he not one already?

Odili did not make Wike a local government chairman.

Odili didn’t have that capacity at the time Wike became chairman in 1999.

Odili even said publicly not long ago that their paths crossed after he became a governor elect and Wike was a chairman elect.

When you fabricate stories like this, it shows you are lying.

greatiyk4u:
Are those not igbo speaking Rivers indigin

No they are not Igbo speaking

They speak Ikwerre and Ogoni languages respectively.

They were among the ethnic minorities that fought for the creation of Rivers State and be separated from Igbo people starting from pre independence and their prayers were answered just before the civil war.

They are not asking to be identified.

They already exist

EmekaA125:
Which language is spoken in Ikwerre

Ikwerre language sir

Ofunaofu:
Provide evidence that the op is IPOB

opening a senseless thread is an incontrovertible evidence.

Ofunaofu:
The thread is talking about El rufai, Amaechi and Wike but because you breathe, dream ethnic bigotry, you will always find a way to bring in Obi or IPOB into the discourse

What has IPOB, Obi got to do with this thread

The fellow is right because it’s ipods that open this kind of senseless thread with their idioti.c use of the word ‘betray’.

LadyExcellency:
You, people, should stop this manipulation and splitting clans into tribes.

Igbo is an ethnic group and not a tribe if you are to be calling every clan in Nigeria a tribe.

How is Ikwere a tribe and Ngwa is not? Unique language, culture, dialect etc. different from other sister Igbo clans.

You can add your Ngwa as a tribe if you like, but Ikwerre is not an Igbo clan but an ethnic nationality or tribe. Please be guided.

BERNIMOORE:
I can't agree Less

so you totally disagree?

Afamed:
Let them know, before they will come to grab your land

Odibembem:
Through Oron you said. Is Oron Igboland? It's Oron that has access to the sea and Oron is Akwa Ibom

When Efik has been declared as Igbo wetin come remain....

mayor1814:
Yeah I read a book. I will look for it and send the reference to u. Even the rumouasi declaration u talked about the "akalaka" being talked about is an Igbo name.


The reality is ikwerres speak igbo. Just like a Yoruba man that speak ijesha in osun will not understand the dialect of an ijebu man in ogun state or an okun man in kogi state North Central but they all speak and understand Central Yoruba.

The fact is a man cannot run away from his shadow. Some ikwerres will say they are igbos others will say no. In fact the facts are very glaring that they are igbos. U and others may disagree but many too will agree they are igbos

Wow you are so comical.

Even the Rumuomasi declaration is Igbo....really? Yes everything in the world is Igbo.

People will tell you who they are and not they other way round. Stop thinking you can tell Ikwerre people who they are because it will never happen. Do your Biafra but leave Ikwerre out of it because that is the the reason for all the "Ikwerre is Igbo" noise that you folks keep making everywhere.

Ttipsy:
are you from Rivers state?? Let alone from ikwerre local government?? The kind of Ibo ikwerre speak is different kind of Ibo dialets just like Abakaliki, Nsukka, owerri, onitsha, Asaba etc in all understand the unifying general Ibo called Igbo Izugbe" . It doesn't make any difference

Even among Yorubas and Hausas there are dialet differenciation.. .

Weither few ikwerres in ikwerre local government of Rivers state reject being Ibo doesn't change the fact that majority accept it, a reason best known to them because they have no different Names, food, culture, language, tradition, market days etc with the rest of Ibo people..

We are talking about Ikwerre ethnic nationality and you are talking about Ikwerre local government. You clearly sound like someone who has not been to Ikwerre land before.

Ikwerre don't speak Ibo language but Ikwerre language. There could be some common words just like in many tribes example, Hausa, Tiv, Gwandara, Kanuri, Nupe etc but you don't see Hausa forcing their identity on these people.

Majority that accept it only exist in your wildest imaginations. Ikwerre people that say they are Ibo are not more than 10 and will be transported free to meet you folks in Umuahia when you declare your Biafra.

Ikwerre don't share the same values, character and even culture with Ibo. There are some names that are similar and there are also many that are different.

[quote author=mayor1814 post=122205439][/quote]I thought you said that you read 'a book'.

The trash posted on Wikipedia by Igbo people from Awka, Abakiliki and Okigwe that they call Ikwerre history.

Even if an outsider wants to write about a particular people, you'll have to interview them especially the custodians of their history.igbo people will sit down in one okpa shop in Abakpa Nike and concoct history of people. What you see is 'many great Igbo intellectuals say'......great Igbo intellectuals my foot!

People that should be writing about their own history just decide to be wasting their time. Any sensible person will see the folly in that wikipedia post. Igbo people that don't even know about their own history are busy writing about another tribe.

Anyone can post and edit anything on Wikipedia.

Someone sits somewhere else and start writing the history of another people is the biggest display of idiocy and stupidity of the highest order that can only be exhibited by Igbo people.

Ikwerre people are waiting to see how it would make them to become Igbo.

mayor1814:
I'm learning a lot from this thread. I read a book sometime ago, the book explained that the reason ikwerres don't always tag along as mainstream igbos like those of South East and Delta State was bcoz a controversy happened btw d rivers Igbo(ikwerres) and d mainstream igbos of SE during the Biafra civil war.



Now I understand that controversy was deep-rooted that is why ikwerres find it hard to identify as igbos but deep down and realistically ikwerres are igbos.




Clearly up till date, some ikwerres will never say they are igbos while some will say they are igbos.

Who wrote the book that you read?

Igbo people will write anything to justify all their fabricated stories and make them cling onto their pipe dreams.

Ikwerre has never been Igbo before, during and after the war.

Ikwerre people represented at the Wilinks Commission in 1956/57 before Nigerian independence and it wouldn’t have been if they were Igbo.

In 1965 3 years before the war, Ikwerre made what is known as ‘Rumuomasi declaration’ where it was clearly stated that they were not Igbo. Mind you, Igbos we’re running the regional government and using it to steal the land of the indigenes and allocating to Igbo people in perpetuity. They were sharing government money as ‘loans’ through ACB that was never to be repaid only to Igbo people. Government scholarships were 95% awarded to Igbo people as well as 95% of government’ appointments to Igbo people. At this time, they knew Ikwerre is not Igbo. They were even bringing people from Aba and Owerri to become Mayor of Port Harcourt and it got to a point where Ikwerre (Rebisi) people said, ‘enough is enough’.

Go and read stories about how and why Rivers State was created. The Agitation by the southern minorities started even before independence led by Harold Dappa Biriye and Ikwerre played a strong role in that agitation. All the bs they keep spewing about Ikwerre denying being Igbo after the war is just bs.

They think claiming that Ikwerre is Igbo gives them the right to include them and even Rivers State in their hallucinations they call biafra. They start with Ikwerre but have their eyes on others as you can see from what one of them posted yesterday on twitter

Mr Igbo come and tell your misguided descendants where your land begins and ends o!

They are in Okigwe, Awka, Ohambele and claiming other peoples territories as Igboland.

A Bonny guy just told me few minutes ago “What concerns someone from Awka with Bonny?”

People are now seeing clearly that the Fulani that these Igbo people keep demonising every day and night are learners compared to their greedy inclinations and tendencies to steal lands that do not belong to them.

JASONjnr:
RIP Your royal Highness



Wike, you are very irrelevant and you will remain a terrible politician to work with...

You've exposed yourself as a desperate and selfminded politician who case about no one but yourself alone.

You can dethrone anyone to enthrone yourself all because of your selfishness.


The people of Rivers will never forget all the atrocities youve committed using them as a bait...

Bhahahaha! one ipig mkpurumiri guzler from abakpa is now speaking for the people of Rivers State.

Yes Wike did not support PitObi and that was a very good decision that he made. We really love it!

Now go and kee yasef!!

You are showing what Atiku's spokesman said. I thought you'll provide a report by the party committee or any neutral person.

I have heard that several times but not from any reliable source.

Atiku since 2019 and in his recent interview has always maintained that he is the only vehicle through which the SE can become president that is, if they support him to become president first. So, how could he have supported zoning to the SE ant any time?

All we ever heard was zoning to the south but not SE and some of us were even curious as to why your SE governors and leaders never made that demand, when all these negotiations and meetings were going on around the the country.

Now it's Wike you people want to blame. Go on.

AnyanwuSilas:
But Wike can contest against zoning arrangement right?

It was Wike that said no zoning thinking he could win it.

Please can you show where Wike said no zoning.

seunmsg:
The PDP leadership is made up of clowns, jesters and cowards. Wike led the rebellion against Atiku and Ayu. If they want to suspend anybody, it should be Wike but they lacked the courage to go after him.

Wike already has a case against them in Court and I think he got an injunction that forbids the Party from suspending him.

He's more like holding their blokkos already.

They can only act after the court case and that is if the party will still exist.

The best thing will be for Ayu to resign for a new exec or interim caretaker committee that will strive to reconcile all aggrieved parties.

OyeofIkoTuN:
Whatever

When wike light go off....make nobody sorry for am oo

IGBOS WONT FORGET OR FORGIVE

START CRYING NOW OO

Unfortunately, smelly idio.ts like you won’t be on ground to get ten folds of what you’re looking for..

You’ll be in your second hand clothes and illicit drug shop in Senegal and be typing nonsense.

xpiranza88:
South south with our stupid way of playing politics...... nonsense governor that's y people like dangote carefully put him refinery for Lagos because of people like this........

Have you heard before that Dangote was selling land allocated to his company for the purpose of expansion and employment of citizens, to private developers?

dustmalik:
I said the same thing on here the other day. There's no path to victory for Obi. He's just wasting his time and money.

I’m sure Obi realised the fact at some point in his voyage but he’s afraid of the insults, threats and possible attacks by his ipig supporters who will label him a traitor, saboteur, betrayal, efulefu etc.

nkemoma:
Fool.

This drunk fool..

You all are the same..

Hugging the druglord before results were announced..

The same Irajibiji druglord who led a massive protest against your weak person...

Una go see Evil call am good

How do you feel after typing this?

dedonfranco:
Wike hated lgbo people for no reason.

Who no hate una for no reason…

Even South africans, Indians, Ghanians hate Igbo for no reason…

Someone doesn’t dance to your tune or tolerate your excesses, it becomes ‘hate for no reason’. If they do, you will still mock them as being foo.ls and claiming ‘smartness’

[/b]

Laggafin:
Wike the selfish wicked comedian.. U want a Southern President and worked [b]against the emergence of the turn of the south East in the PDP after many years of loyalty to that party..it's good obi has told him to his face to stop calling him his hero cause he worked against the labour party in the last presidential Elections.. Wike will regret wotoporously after May 29th.. shikena

Please could you explain the bolder without sounding fooolish?

Calling Rivers State “one of the seven Igbo speaking States” will reveal to a discerning mind the content of the letters Wike refused to reply and why he refused to give you audience.

Did you address him as ‘our son’ or ‘our red cap chief😂”?

You actually sound like you are representing a bunch of clowns!

You people should continue disrespecting people and thinking you must force yourself on others.

Na Wike fit ona.

Alba3:
Agberos in the East are the worse of the worst. The main reason Igbos are shouting about those in Lagos is because they see them as threat to their occupational ambitions in Lagos. Since Most Yorubas are forming wokes and don't really care about their heritage or any legacy for unborn generations again. Nothing like self preservation, many Yoruba youths are lost and unfortunately Yorubas don't give birth to many children again but want to be too liberal in the midst of devilish hypocritic and unliberal tribes.

There was a day I alighted from Enugu bus at Onitsha south bus park with my luggage, agberos demanded I must pay charges before a wheelbarrow guy could carry my stuff. I paid twice, on our way to Peace park another sets blocked this guy for about two other tickets which I had to pay. The wheelbarrow guy said if he passes there hundred times, the owner of the load must pay these different sets of touts. The funny thing was that you would never see easterners complaining about these but in Lagos they're forming Americans.

Every thing they complain about other tribes and places, also happen in their states and towns in a bigger or worst scale.

They are very hypocritical and always want to demonise others, maybe it makes them feel better.

Also, they believe they are the only ones that travel, and that other people don't travel to Igbo states and towns, so can't see and expose them.

pandax:
Is it the turn of SS under PDP, moreso for someone that has admitted not being Igbo

So your Igbo delegates were voting for Atiku because it was the turn of the North? Igbos had over a hundred delegates but Pius Anyim got 7 votes and other Igbo aspirants got zero yet no one called them sell outs.

PoliteActivist:
You may have a serious problem with comprehension.

So how does the video answer my questions? Did he mention the time he was watching them on tv? Did he say that it was in the morning?
