[b]I'm not a PDP apologist.

If you think producing a president from your region or a political party you have affiliations with will automatically elevate development or ameliorate sufferings in your region, then your problem can be concluded to be politico-emotional induced delusion.(no insults intended).

A president from South East region is a president of the federal Republic and not South East. He must work in accordance to the oath he swore to ensure that equity is properly safeguarded. If an Igbo President concentrates more on South East development, then he's no different fro Buhari who has appointed his aides mostly from his beloved North. GEJ was President for 6 years and Otuoke is complaining of lack of water. OBJ was president for 8 years and a head of state for almost 3 years, how did that change the condition of Osun, Ekiti, Ondo, and Osun? The northerners have ruled for 40 years yet their region is the worst in almost everything.

Charity begins at home. If you want to a developed South East, you must borrow a leaf from Lagos and Enugu, and Anambra states. They have little dependency on the Federal Government but they are ahead of most states in infrastructural development and standards of living.

slave mentality. Go and read the history of north and south korea then you will come back and delete this thread.

At times some people make public mockery of themselves thinking they are making sense.

Udmaster, do you vote political party or political candidates at elections? Sorry, only the shallow minded votes political parties!

Was Sullivan Chime an APGA governor? Imo state under Udenwa, was the fifth richest state in Nigeria. Abia state under Orji Uzor Kalu witnessed many infrastructural development and redevelopment.

Lagos, under Fashola witnessed nearly all round development, how did Ekiti, Oyo and Osunfare under non PDP government that same time?


Don't let APC political hooliganism bully you into making conclusions bereft of common sense and fact.

Most Igbo languages are distinct on their right. But the important thing is that we have evolved to become one. Igbo bu otu.

HopeAtHand:
Udmaster, so you spent your midnight arguing over issues beyond you. The British out of convenience lumped different ethnicities and used a uniform name to identify them. The Ikwerreman has nothing in common with most igbo clans. We cannot hear a sentence of what they say. They cant hear us either.

The British became aware of the situation when the Igbo union Bible was tested in Churches in Ikwerreland and it was a total disaster as the users were more confused when it was introduced. This prompted the teaching of Igbo language in schools in Ikwerreland.

The efforts made by Ikwerres to be recognised as a distinct ethnicity since colonial times until 1970 when it came to fruition cannot be over-emphasized. The question for you is why would Ikwerres ask for a separate identity from Igbos if they were our kith and kin. Who separates from family?? Pls grow some sense.

ChinenyeN:
Some Igbo people have come again to repeat the endless cycle of "One Igbo" and "Nri Ancestry" town crying. Rather than engaging in practical endeavors to keep our various lects and cultures thriving and growing, some are here showing paranoia over Igbo Unity and throwing insults for no reason.

Anyway, leave Ngwa and surrounding communities out of this Nri discussion. Ngwa and co. have nothing to do with Nri. If you didn't know before, you do now.

gykes:
Can you explain what you mean by Pure IGBO NAME? And when you say IGBO, you mean lost Jews, NRI, Akwaibom, aro, ngwa, which please?

gykes:
Smh! Rumuokoro is Infact my community. The man Okoro had two wives and the first son of the 1st wife is my town(village)...smh.... I will stop here... your ignorance though.....

gykes:
Iwhnurọhna people descended from the ancient Bini Kingdom. The name of the grand ancestor is Akalaka. Their relations in Rivers State are Ekpeye and Ogba people. The reigning Oba of Benin when Akalaka, the ancestor of Ihruọha (later called Iwhnurọhna) fled was Oba Ewuare (Ogwaro). Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled in the 13 th century on allegation of plotting assassination of the Oba. He died in 1462. Iwhnurọhna his third son settled east of the Sombrero River by 1538 AD.... I can draw you my family tree from this point with 100% accuracy down to my-ikwerre-blooded-self ....but... for security reasons, I wont.... thankyou


And if you still want to know how that name "Ikwerre" came to be, do ask....


Just so you know Ikwerre existed long before the civil war. I even had Uncle's who fought on both sides to the point where my dad had to be sneaked out of Ikwerreland to his maternal home (my granny's village in igboland - Abia state).... smh...



About the "attention" I'm so loving it....

Kirigidi:
U need to correct urself! Nri (Eri) can't just b d founder or father of d all Igbo pipo/can. How can u ignorantly claim dat a priestly/warrior personality (Eri) who emerged only as recently as 900AD is d father of all Igbos? Do u knw dat Igbo pipo hav being occupyin dia present homelands hundreds of years bfor d rise of Nri? My point is dat Igbo communities hav been existing in d South-East long bfor Eri came wit his migrant party (probably frm d ancient Aka Kingdom/Benin during d Ogiso era in 900AD) to establish a kingdom in d midst of republican Igbo pipo.

HopeAtHand:
U dnt understand the point. Lugard named the people within a geographical location as Igbo. Its an umbrella name.

HopeAtHand:
This post is epic.

@bolded. Igbo has a new definition.

Igbo is defined as that Umbrella name or identifier used to refer to people within a geographical region or landscape who have no shared ancesteal origin for the ease of administration

Mehn, Lugard tried. See how he manufactured something out of nothing.

B2mario:
Oga you are wrong, Abiriba migrated from Andoni, some Arochukwu migrated from Ibibio while the Isus have their ancestral home in Amaigbo. God created the Ngwas the place they are, they did not come from anywhere rather many tribes like mbaise, some parts of Ikwerre, Etche, and Ndoki migrated from Ngwa.

HopeAtHand:
Like i said earlier, there is no end to learning. Saying i am Ikwerre in an Igbo thread isnt a crime. An Ibibio man, an Ijawman or whoever can make an input on this thread, they can state whatever they feel if they see any relationship with the subject matter. I do not understand why the postings by Ikwerres causes you so much discomfort. Im happy some communities in Imo state have ancestry from Ikwerreland. When Ikwerres want to secede from Nigeria and form our own country, we will not keave our kith and kin behind. SE Ikwerres will not be left behind.

HopeAtHand:
bigfrancis21, dont run away, come and tell me why i wouldnt mention Ikwerre here. Are you not a member of the gang that go about on NL claiming Ikwerre is Igbo. So why do you think Ikwerre shouldnt be mentioned on this thread. Maybe u feel threatened by the truth. Well, going by your analogy that all Igbo originated from NRI and Ikwerre history has it that Ikwerre originated from Akalaka, ita safe to reaffirm that Ikwerres aint Igbo. Thanks..

mechy:
Its clear to you that Igbos have a lot in common with Ikwerre. I was at Ogbakiri, echichi emoh precisely, (please pardon my spelling if it is wrong) late last year for a burial, and I was amazed when I saw the Oboni cult on display. I was thinking Oboni is peculiar to Igbos alone. Though its funny, when one of the guys explained to me that the culture was exported to Igboland from Ikwerreland.

gykes:
Yes I am..... and more insults please, thats what you lots do best



About your last line - please help yourself and read the thread again, only this time very slowly... thankyou

Kirigidi:
Dat is a wrong assertn, guy! In terms of antiquity, how will u compare Nri (Eri) which startd in 900AD to d Ogiso Dynasty of Benin (Aka Kingdom) which began frm around 600AD and lastd uptil 900AD when it collapsd? There ar even insinuations dat d legendary Igbo "Eri" was an "Aka" (Benin) royal priest/warrior who left d ancient "Aka Kingdom" (Beninland) followin d collapse of d Ogiso Dynasty in 900AD, and migrated east wit his party where he founded a new domain/kingdom in d present day Aguleri/Umuleri areas of Anambra State. It is also probable dat d priestly kingdom establishd by Eri was later named "Eri-Aka" by his followers in remembrance of ancient "Aka Kingdom" where they migrated frm!

bigfrancis21:
There is nothing new you came here to learn. Your being Ikwerre or not totally does not relate to this subject matter in anyway and the OP never mentioned Ikwerre in his post. Your mentioning you're being Ikwerre on a supposed Igbocentric forum on a subject matter about the Igbos you claim you don't belong to is pathetic to say the least.

I am a very direct person and I tell it to people just as it is. You love attention and that's what it is.

gykes:
Is this the sweet smell of vindication... tonyebarcanista HopeAtHand oya come ooo food don ready!!

Igbos are at each other's throats over their origin hehehehehehehe

I and my other Ikwerre brothers have been vindicated by this post.

I remember engaging some Igbos on NL about my ancestry and their false claim of Port Harcourt, they almost ate me. When I told them that Ikwerre has its roots from Bini and Ikwerre is the last son of the three sons of Akalaka - an exiled prince of Bini empire, some called me yoruba lol. Well, it's customary to know your roots and history in my family, it's a rite of passage passed down from father to son.

these people should first understand themselves before they think of "grabbing lands"


Bigmarx kudos my brother.. from your post on this thread I can tell we have a lot in common... is the village Rumuo*o*o? I'm guessing it's in one of the twin kingdoms that make up Obio in Obio/Akpor LGA In PH??
