Politics › Re: Between Mmesoma And Tinubu Pictures by Whalis:
Please no one should drag Mmesomma again. She underwent a psychotherapy treatment and she is gradually recovering.
Drag Tinubu and Tinubu alone. For me all this while I knew something was wrong with Tinubus foundation. No first class graduate would dwell in the murky water of Nigeria's politics. Check all first class souls we have in Nigeria they are either teaching or owning a business.
Politics › Re: Palliatives Result Of Limited Thinking – Peter Obi by Whalis: 1:19pm On Oct 02, 2023
Isokotolopia:
Easy talk,

Nigeria has too many saboteurs
You see Obi has changed position based on Tinubu misfiring. Obi was the one who said he would remove subsidy. This was the impetus Tinubu used. Now Obi has found out that he was wrong and has changed to fighting the corruption of subsidy and not removing it. Everything is on standstill. The money Tinubu thought he would gain by removing subsidy he is using for palliative. Is this not penny wise and pound foolish?
Many people have gone out of business and are waiting on government palliative. Obi has said this In case he needs to run again.

It is just secondary school that is needed. However the man in question avoided using his secondary certificate for only God knows what he tries not to reveal about him.

Now, that your conscientiously contributions, though you did them in good fate, but they have gradually transferred it from their responsibility to your responsibility,it's a thing of the mind though. And now, they want you to start taking absolute control, whether you are ready or not.
Just imagine.

With all these interventions what remains of the benefits of removing subsidy?
Nigeria was managing herself until Tinubu listened to Obi to remove subsidy. Now it is trouble everywhere. If you pay government workers what about those who have no job at all?
Remember that anyone who has government job is regarded as the privileged few and are not seen as poor. They are rich and well paid.
If people we see as rich and well paid and in a regularly basis are complaining what about those without job at all?
Tinubus policies have stirred the hornet nest.

You are probably seen as highly responsible and consistent. Don't take it if you aren't ready to shoulder the burden.
You got it. Some persons take some of us who are moralists as good Christians but this is not always true. We know what is good and what is to be avoided. Some persons just assume in that case I would make a good deacon. Presently I have a lot that I can't combine it with a serious task like being a Deacon of a church.

The question should have been if CSU has it why has Tinubu not gone to them to have a photocopy of his credentials instead of filling all this while that the military destroyed them while he was in exile?
Christianity Etc › My Church Wants Me To Be A Clergy. by Whalis(op): 1:14pm On Oct 01, 2023
I am a churchgoer and partake in church activities I think I can. I am not an ultra-religious person.
To be frank I am a Christian because I was born in southern Nigeria. I think I might have been a Muslim as well if I were born in the northern part of Nigeria.
I am not fanatical about religion. I question practice and creeds.
I believe people practice whatsoever religion closest to them for this reason I don't see any religion as unapproved.
And for this reason I go to church and worship God only.
Now my Church wants me to go beyond this by appointing me a Deacon. How can you appoint someone with my description above a Deacon?
I have told them I do not have the charisma of what they want from me. Others are interested in said position why force on an unwilling fellow?
Please I need an advice.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Simon Ekpa recently released his latest map of Biafra in which he included all SS states except Edo.

But do you know the funny thing?

Same Ekpa released names of his Biafran Government in Exile cabinet members and not one single one of his appointees are from outside the SE.


You see these people?

They think we are as foolish as them.
Did you observe this?

Oh I see. They intermarried, wiped out the language of the indigenous people, forced them to change their names to Igbo names, forced them to change the name of their villages to Igbo names, forced them to adopt Igbo culture such as Iwa-ji? All this Igbos did through migration?

The truth is that Bini want their empire back but the days of empires are long gone. As an Anambra man, if I go to Igbanke in Edo, I will understand 80% of what they are saying. If a Bini man goes to Igbanke, he will not understand anything, the same man has no idea what Iwa-gi is. All the Bini man knows is how to claim those he has nothing in common with and say it is his land, because of a long dead empire

We Igbos will keep relating with thise we speak similar language with and practice similar culture with. If you guys dont like it, hug transformer

I laugh in French
I am Ikwerre. If an Igbo man calls me his brother he has me. There is no doubt. But the attrition starts when an Igbo man starts to tell me who I am when I know whom I am and whom I am not of which I know I am not what an average man says I am .

Yorubas relate with other Yoruba soeaking people in other countries such as Benin Republic and Togo

Hausas relate with other Hausa speaking people in Niger Republic and Chad

Fulani's relate with other Fulani's roaming all over west Africa

But as soon as this young man relates with people a short distance across the River Niger he speaks the same language with, and practice same culture, you children of hate will come to ask why

If they are migrants, tell us where the owners of the land, their language and culture disappeared to
The difference is clear. The Yorubas outside Nigeria by themselves say they are Yorubas. This is the same with Hausa or Fulanis. But in the case of igbos they go about telling people who have in everyway denied being Igbos how they are igbos and denying their identity. They call those who say they are not igbos names.

You guys forgot the chapter 4 when you told Kumuyi not to come to East for crusade?

You forgot that chapter 4 when you were busy murdering northerners all in the name of sit at home... It's like it's that chap 4 that gave you gut to declare Lagos and Kano no man's land.

When it's SE you forget this chapter for but when it comes to land grabbing other regions you remember freedom of association. You guys are pure evil... Sane people should avoid you and your region... If Tinubu no commot una for Nigeria I will not vote him for l second term
The demented nonentity has remembered Nigerian Constitution the same way his brothers remember it when they run into drug problem in the middle east. This is the same person who calls Nigeria zoo, does zoo have constitution?
He hates Nigeria created by Lord Lugard but likes Eastern Nigeria created by the same Lord Lugard.
It seems Gov. Sim is too quiet and some persons want to take his gentleman's disposition for a ride.
Take your celebration to your land is it a big deal? Your celebration has every trait that will jeopardize the peace of Port Harcourt. This is our stand.

Whatever the scenario is, the bottom line is that the ikwerres and others that speaks ikwerre (igbo) are under the same big umbrella which is a common language they share together, where everyone now have their own distinct heritage.
And that umbrella is any name but Igbo.

Assuming igbos are actually speaking ikwerre, that means igbos are ikwerre and not igbo.
Here you are! This is what we have been telling them. Today America speaks English. There are more speakers of English than it is in England. Going by number and without history one could say England is America. Or the language belongs to America.

Ikwerres speaks more igbo than 98% of Ebonyi indigenes.

But if they say it's Swahili they speak, that's still good.
This is where we have the problem. Igbos might be probably speaking Ikwerre. You can't tell the which came first, the egg or the hen?

I'm not trying to convince an ikwerre man, I'm just telling you that nobody is an igbo. It is the language that makes one an igbo.
Its not as if all the people that speaks igbo shares a common grand parent the way Israel shares Abraham.

Why doesn't ijaws, ibibios, and other ethnic group speak igbo? Because they are not igbo.

Do you know that onitsha originated from old Bini empire? But due to the language and proximity, they see themselves as igbos.

If i travel to Uk, bear kids and spend all my life there, do you know my kids would become English? Just my first generation for that matter.
So what actually makes one an igbo is the language, many tribes that identifies as igbos originated from somewhere else.
You are right in the phase of the prism you are explaining from.
The ikwerres are saying that they have no relationship with the igbos not even in language.
Politics › Re: Take Your Igbo Day Out Of Port Harcourt. by Whalis(op): 2:01am On Sep 26, 2023
DaTruths:
Nobody is Igbo, igbo is a combination of tribes that shares the igbo language.

What concerns an onitsha man and an Aba man if not language?

Does an Awka man and an Enugu man shares the same forebearers? No.

So nobody is igbo in that case
It is difficult to convince an Ikwerre man with this. An Ikwerre man calls the igbos Isuoma. The meaning is good servant.

Did ikwerre forebearers told them they weren't igbo in 18th Century, or just within and after the war?
I should also ask you if your forebearers knew ikwerres before they migrated to Ikwerre land for slavery?

kingsways:
A few Ikwerres are just misguided...I appeal to Igbos to forgive the misguided ones


No one can say that someone whose name is Chibuike and whose father's name Amaechi is not Igbo, except the person is mad



In fact anyone that goes about saying that Ikwerres are not Igbos should be taken to the nearest psychiatric hospital for help
Igbo is one of the most travelled ethnic groups in Nigeria and no doubt about that.
They got to Spain and they found out that Spanish and Portuguese are similar languages they recognize their unique identity.
They also found this in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. They recognize the unique identities of these people despite the similarities in their spoken languages. This is the same with Ukraine and Poland, Malaysia and Indonesia. They recognize the difference between Itsekiri and the Yorubas and that of Isoko and Urhobo. They do all these but won't allow the average Ikwerre man rest with their claims due to some words that are common in both languages.
Come to think of it would Igbos agree to be ikwerres if the reverse was the case? If ikwerres had 5 States and Igbos 4 LGAs?
Ikwerres are igbos why did you guys run from PH when the war started?
Why did other Rivers people never attack the ikwerres the way they did to you people?
Make una rest. Reno knows those his forefathers used as slaves as well as Asari.
