Donake: Who are these igbos sef? Is it the same Ikwerre,omuma,etched,oyigbo,ahoadaeast and west,ogba/egbema/ndoni that sell four market days eke,orie,afor,nkwo or those who call God Chineke,or those who call debt igwo,or human as mmadu,obara as blood? Otu,abuo(ibuo)(buo) ato(ito)(to) depending on who is pronouncing just as the difference is evident in the place the fulanis and their slaves carved into 5 states. All of these narrative started during and after the civil war,but igbos know themselves. Those who have travelled know they are igbo no matter how they have bended their knees. Their kings are called Ezes from Obioakpor,Ikwerre,Emuoha,Phalga,OgbaEgbemaNdoni,Omuma,Etched,Ahoada East and West,
Bro I aey avoid this discussion like plague, I don't want to be part of it.
highness25: If he has federal backing it's simple. Tinubu wants Rivers State by all means. Did you not see that Magnus Abe has reconciled with Wike? It was Tinubu that directed him to do so and he might likely run for governor under APC and Wike will support him. Let's see how it goes sha
And Tinubu never wanted Lagos? Tinubu never sent wike to do what he did in rivers, he was only trying to show tinubu his capacity in rivers, but this time he will have a seating governor to contend with. Then he was the lord and master of rivers state
idahme: The Igbos have done a lot of stuff with Rivers people over the years for example a town called Opobo their first king was a slave from an Igboland who found himself loyal to the powers that be, this town speaks igbani but because of their ancestry with the Igbos right from that slave(king Jaja) they began to deal in the language of their king not in their indigenous ijaw language leading to the IBANI language becoming endangered as we speak.
This relationship might now lead people answering Igbo names because their ancestors have been picking brides from the Igbo tribe for hundreds of years, does this men they are from the Igbo tribe even if they speak and answer their names? This is the situation of some places in Rivers State
In addition, the Igbo language has been taught in schools as one of the three major languages in Nigeria while non of the Rivers languages were taught to students in so doing speakers of Igbo language increase, does it mean they are from Igbo tribe? Another thing I observed is that the Igbo Bible and hymn has been there for a very long time, these were forced on the throat of rivers people while in church. I could remember when the Igbo hymn were sang in a church that has no Igbo indigenous people. All of these has its own effect on the culture of minorities in Rivers State.
Just the way you can't differentiate an hausa man from a kanuri man in the North by virtue of one been the domineering ethnicity is same way it is here but indigenous people can.
These arguments of the Igbo tribe didn't hold waters, that a person has been influenced by your tribe for a long time doesn't mean they are from your tribe.
i don't really get the point you are trying to make, but I can tell you Akwa ibom is a state very close to the igbos, but none of what you are saying affected their names and language.

I'm not interested in the opobo, ikwerre story of how they're or not Igbo. What I was saying it that you can't tell the lga of those igbo-like names there without knowing them before now. Obio akpor, ikwerre, onelga, opobo even in eleme you can find those names.
goaldynman: You are talking as if Wike won any local government during the last election! Labour Party cleared all the local governments despite Wike riggings but INEC happened!
wike couldn't swerve the mind of rivers people even with his 3million SSA appointment. I was a member of one of his numerous group when the coordinator came to tell us the instruction from above was to vote apc, he was even scared to say it. When he saw the revolt, he was like vote your conscience, I'm only here to deliver the message I was sent.
vanitybutiwanti: sharrap lowlife, anybody can claim to be anything on the Internet, where was your father when sim was being made Governor? Go and hustle for your dinner before you think of paying me idiiot, you believe sim should take far reaching decisions to fortify himself but the other factions should fold their hands and watch because they are foools? This is politics, nobody has the monopoly of violence and judicial scheming, the best schemer will win at the end of the day and the only thing lowlives like you can do is to come and cry on the Internet, sim can pay mushroom high court Judges in the state high court to procure judgements, we are waiting to see if he can replicate it in the higher courts.
Let me tell you something and get it into your thick skull, in political circles, nobody trusts the ingrate and he is being dealt with a long spoon so much so that the President had to prevail on Magnus Abe to reconcile with wike because the ingrate is tilting towards supporting Atiku or Obi, he's being left to run his tenure without forceful intervention from the President[b], the president is no fool, he saw the work, the LGA Chairmen and the legislators put in to ensure that the APC won in Rivers state[/b] hence the reason why most of them where given Federal appointment after their resignation, nobody will trust a flippant ingrate and backstabber like sim fubara, when the time comes, you will tell us if INEC, Appeal court and the supreme courts are ministries under the Rivers state government, the same way he was rigged in, that is how he will be rigged out and there's nothing deluded lowlives like you can do about it.
You claim to know everything yet you are unaware that the ingrate is not in talking terms with Odili because Odili told him to make peace with his benefactor? The ingrate even went on record to proclaim that Rivers state has no leader because what Odili told him in closed doors. He has flagged off and commisioned some projects embarked upon by the previous administration, did you see Odili in those occasions? You're a daft wishful thinker and a lowlife who is unaware of what is happening in your surrounding, even if I don't work actively for 24 months, I can feed you and your father for a year from my dividends and Rents without breaking a sweat lowlife, don't assume that everyone on the Internet is on your level, get that into your thick skull
Abeg which work did the LG chairmen do outside snatching ballot box and changing the voting result. Wike and his boys know that even voting buying won't make apc win rivers, they had to do it the dirty and risky way, which can not happen again.
idahme: Those are not Igbo names.....It's because you don't hail from Rivers State that is why you make that assertion, I could possibly tell you the possible local government each of them hail from.
Bro na lie, it's just because you already know them, even if you're a rivers man and seeing those igbo looking names for the first time, you can't tell their lga
jordyspices: Solomon eke nice one make him try work oh cause when he was the local government chairman of obio akpor he practically did nothing even the road to his house he couldn't work on it
You sabi am well, then when he was local government chairman whenever I go to palace road at woji I still doubt that he stays there.
Nomyth: It even happened in Germany this year. A team from the lower division made it to the semifinal of the FA cup beating a couple of Bundesliga teams,including bayern munich, along the way.
As in normal upset that happens everywhere. Thanks for that reminder.
If you look at the two EPL teams I mentioned Sheffield Wednesday who beat Newcastle United and Newport county who beat Leicester city it was the complete first team squad.
See below.
oga this same scenerio happens in every league, even the NPFL, that's why I use UEFA competition as standard where you have clubs from different leagues play each other in a home and away format
komekn: Not too long ago EPL Leicester City got beat by Newport County who were in English League two.
The weekly wage bill of Newport county was a third of what KC was getting paid in one week . Can I ask you using the same proposition unit of measurement you have prescribed.
Therefore Newport county who still remain in English League two is better than Leicester city ❓
Using the same proposition matrix this season Newcastle United were beaten by Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup. Did that make Sheffield Wednesday better than Newcastle United.
Sheffield Wednesday have been in the relegation zone since the start of the season. But have either won or dream their last six games. They are now safe.
Unfortunately 😕 Porto never got to play Fulham who were in the Championship, so we will never know who would win in a game. But using a man to man comparison which started with my opinion that Zaidu would not smell the Fulham bench. I concluded Porto would not certainly beat Fulham and dud not have completely better players.
A Fulham that let Anguissa go to Napoli not required for their team strategy. But you find my proposition strange 🥴even incomprehensible 🙄 at the time.
i said a man to man comparison between Aston villa and olympiacos. Keep your FA cup talk aside, cos your narration happens in every league of the world, even npfl club has lost to an amateur side. I'm talking about bigger UEFA competition over 2 legs. Don't come telling me about FA cup or Carling cup, use a UEFA match to buttress your point.
komekn: At that time I said it Fulham were in the Championship and l reiterate Fulham were better then and even now is open 👐🏿 to debate.
I substantiated my position then by player to player comparison.
I started from the left back position where Zaidu was with the emphatical statement ,that Zaidu will not smell the Fulham bench. Which was where all the brouhaha emanated from.
Once again l reiterate Zaidu will not smell Fulham first team then and now.
would like to see a player comparison also of Aston villa and olympiacos players. Base on league standing Villa is better than Fulham, so since villa was beaten(it wasn't a close game) by olympiacos. It implies that olympiacos is also better than Fulham. And we can all agree that Porto is better than olympiacos.
TheGoodJoe: First of all, I will disagree with the notion that Kanu is average. For a person that watched lots of Kanu's games, I say he was actually key to a lot of our good plays.
I still don't understand what changed but in the past,.we had lots of tactical players that had deep understanding of the game. Sunday Oliseh, Celestine Babayaro, Finidi George, Emmanuel Amunike and Kanu Nwankwo were those that really caught my attention.
Kanu was not the kind of striker that gummed the final fourth or 18 yard box to grab goals. He instead was the player that operated very deep to create room for other offensive players to shine.
You can call him average when it came to goals for the Super Eagles but when it comes to contributions for the Super Eagles to fly, he was creme and supreme of most players.
thank you for your submission, kanu was never average for eagles.
Kog45: I think it’s hard for many to believe that Kanu had very averaged performance in eagles based on his exploits in Europe…two APOTY winners,Atlanta 96,Under 17 WC and numerous clubs achievement like UCL winner with Ajax and great performances with Arsenal the invincible.
But fact,he wasn’t spectacular with eagles but had very great moments during 2002 WC qualifiers,his pairing with Agali was great,both scoring 4 goals apiece.
I don’t know how Nigeria fans would have rate another CF with 5 Afcons and 3 WCs with no goal,87 appearances and 12 goals.Despite Ighalo and Emenike feats in Afcon and eagles peoples still see them as below average CF.
Kanu brought smiles to us during Atlanta 96 and Nigerians will always rate Kanu based on that performance and as thegoodjoe said Atlanta team was literary super eagles.
For me Kanu not scoring in any Afcon doesn't reduce his impact for the Eagles, if you're looking at just goals then you have a point but total impact in a game, kanu beat all. Watch most of the qualifiers that Kanu played then you will know siasia is not close. I got angry with kanu in either 04 or 02 Afcon can't remember, then the media was already saying kanu have no Afcon goal, this guy won a pk either against Tunisia and I was expecting him to pick the ball and play the pk and get his first goal, kanu just walked away and I was mad.
komekn: So playing for your national team automatically makes your a star. 🤔
[b]You put Omeruo on the same list as Neymar, Coutinho, [/b]etc
Bro can you remember all the players that went for that u-17 tournament. But you can remember Omeruo then he's a stand out from that tournament. I believe they all played the same u17 tournament. If you want to mention star for 2015 u20, you mention Messi, you still mention Mikel. So I don't what you are trying to say.
The news that first team members of Golden Eaglets failed MRI test is not correct. The team is intact.
Abuja football fans that have been watching the training sessions of the team and their friendly games can attest to this.
Please if you live in Abuja, feel free to come and watch the Eaglets train at the FIFA Goal Project, Abuja stadium. You can find out.
The MRI test conducted by the NFF found few players on grade 5 and these players are out.
Grades 1 - 5 are pass grades, but the policy of NFF is that players on grade 5 will not be taken to the competition venue because they may fall into grade 6 when CAF conduct their own MRI test, due to the fact that the borderline between grade 5 and 6 is very little.
In order to avoid that risk, the NFF insists that only players from grade 1 - 4 will represent Nigeria at the International tournament.
Please, feel free to VERIFY.
The team played another friendly game today and defeated Turbo touch academy 2-0.
The 30 -man list will be made known before the team leaves Nigeria next week.

You have run out of ideas on what to say and have resorted to unwarranted attacks.
