What evidence does Iran have that it was Israel that bombed their consulate? Can you see how dunce Muslims are? They suspected US. US said they weren't. They don't talk with Israel so didn't ask Israel but concluded that it was Israel without evidence.
Now who is the aggressor?

These people will end up emptying north. Islamic religion adores banditry and terrorism.
To an average uninformed northerner he is doing the will of Allah by joining banditry and terrorism and laying down his life if need be in the course of Jihads. The target shouldn't just be killing them but to disabuse their minds of this 7th century belief.

Pleading guilty was the best advice. This is because 'his' sentencing was predetermined. It doesn't matter what 'he' pleaded or not.
If 'he' hasn't with concrete video evidence it would have been up to two for wasting the courts time on conviction. Although I was thinking Bobrisky connections were at least at the Senate's level.

They are emulating the lawless governor who is running the state without a budget, amongst other infractions. He is lucky to have people at the state and federal level who are patient with him. I would have flushed him out of office for all his illegalities. Look at him struggling for power after his sermon at that funeral. Yeye man.
It is the mediocre Wike fostered on us that has backfired in everyone including him.

You are not making sense. Ikwerre amd other Igbo speaking communities in Rivers state are members of Ohanaeze ndi Igbo. Membership of Ohanaeze is Based on community not individuals.The Adelekes in Osun state their Mother is Igbo but cant join Ohaneze Based on that.
Any Ikwerre man who belongs to Ohaneze whatever just check his background.

The point here is is that the parameter you are using to judge who is Igbo is the same you don't want used on you. Why call an Ibeku man of Abia State Igbo? Why call an Abakiliki man of Ebonyi State Igbo? Why call an Nsukka man of Enugu State Igbo? No history connects all three and all three speak different dialects, but will understand each other sane as an Ikwerre man will understand them

Look nobody has time to be dragging who is Igbo or not Igbo, but stop the double standard. An Ikwerre man called Ihunwo Obi Wali from Rumu-Igbo is current Deputy President General of Ohanaeze. The immediate past President General was Uche Okwukwu, an Ikwerre man from Elele. So you guys should go and sort out which Ikwerre is Igbo and which is not, and leave us out of your confusion
Let me help with some Igbo tradition. Anyone whose mother is an Igbo woman is seen as an Igbo son even if the woman isn't married to an Igbo person. Check these people you mentioned likely their mother was from igbo land.
Secondly in Ikwerre land we have the offsprings of Arochukwu people. Their offsprings have no problem with identifying that they are Igbos. Those you mentioned might likely fail into these categories.

Historical ties? I don't know of any historical tie between the Abakiliki man, the Nsukka man, the Ngwa man, the Onitsha man, the Abrirba man, the Nkanu man. Yet you call all of them Igbos? Why?

This has got nothing to do with historical tie. All these people speak various dialects of a parent language called Igbo, they practice a similar culture, and that is why they are called Igbo. There is no difference between them and any Ikwerre, except for denial. The Ikwerre will say "Omeneli", which is the seat of traditions and custom, while someone from Imo will say 'Omenala', Enugu will say 'Omenani' same as Ebonyi, while us in Anambra will say 'Omenana'. No matter how you say it, everyone will still know what you are talking about
Were you the one who told the Enugu man that he is Igbo? What about the Ebonyi man and Anambra? You don't tell a man who he is. If you go to these places you mentioned you will hear of interconnected histories of ties. But there is no one linking the ikwerres to the Igbos or the Igbos to the ikwerres. Agreed if the Anambra man says he is not Igbo because of no ties with Ebonyi let him be. You won't force him to be what he is not. The same way you can't force the ikwerres to be who they are not.

I don't hate Ikwerres and I have no reason to do so. I merely stated my opinion on Nigeria/Biafra civil war related issue and you have stated yours countering it, which is Ok. However, I still stand by my opinion.
You were told lies by your forebears who hated Ikwerre particularly because of the Ikwerre people general stand that they have no historical ties with the Igbos. The Igbos see this as hatred and for that reason resent the ikwerres. Come to Ph and make an inquiry about what you alleged. Ikwerres had no hand in abandoned property. It was a federal government policy even headed by David Mark. Only those in the upper echelon of government benefitted from that. Disabuse your mind of your primordial hatred for the Ikwerres because of this.

More loyal than loyalty. He said before he accepted appointment from Tinubu he wrote the NWC and they approved it for him.
PoliticsRe: Awolowo Never Betrayed Igbos During Nigeria’s Civil War – Bode George by Whalis:
festacman:
Why is it so difficult to accept that Awolowo wanted to secure economic advantage for his people. It might not have worked as he anticipated due to the survival instinct and innate mercantile capabilities of Igbo people. Yes, from hindsight, it looks heartless but from ethnic competition and rivalry points of view, the policy was logical as a war tool to gain advantage.

It is the same with Ikwere people seizing properties of Igbo in Port Harcourt as abandoned property to get even while properties of Igbo in Lagos and Northern Nigeria remained untouched. Today, Ikwere estate fortunes in Port Harcourt remain inferior to those of Igbo.

Mean things happen during wars. Crazy things happen in the history of every nation. Even the Pope had to apologize for certain things the Church did in the past.

The fact is that events of yesterday are supposed to guide us today dealings as we march into Tomorrow. Forward ever, backward never!
Let me educate you a little. I know your hatred for Ikwerre people as exemplified and shown towards Wike is beyond imagination.
Ikwerre land had been occupied by Igbos before and during the war. Read Elechi Amadi's Sunset in Biafra. The issue of Abandoned Property was Federal Government policy and Ikwerre people never contributed or benefitted from it. Rather it was Ikwerre people who lost their lands originally occupied by the Igbos others and particularly to the Ijaws as they had the reach during this period of Abandoned Property Saga. The Igbos were going to Enugu the capital of eastern Nigeria then to receive letter of allocation of land belonging to Ikwerre people. They would just come and show you a paper that your ancestral land they covetted had been handed over to them.
They were in charge. They would go to the bank of eastern Nigeria to receive loan to develop the land. Some of these loans weren't paid before the war broke out. At the end of the war government set up an enquiry to investigate this. Those who were yet to pay back their loans government seized the property they were developing with it. This was how most properties were declared abandoned. Those who could show prove of loan repayment were given back their property. Ikwerres weren't in the driving seat of the state then so wouldn't have influenced this or benefitted from this in any way. The Ijaws were in charge then and benefitted more to the disadvantages of the Ikwerres. Stop hating the ikwerres because of this as they didn't benefit.

APC has moles in PDP. Purpose is to destroy the party internally. Who do you call people like wike? Traitors or betrayals?
This is the problem we have in the country. Having people who reason like you is a big concern. People with cranium rectum inversion syndrome. In the last election Wike delivered PDP from the top to bottom except in the presidency which he gave his condition. He asked Atiku to come to the negotiation table. Perhaps Atiku didn't meet up with their condition or didn't go at all. Then tell me how someone who delivered a governor, 3 senators and all house of Rep members from Rivers State to PDP is a mole?
