before benin came to ogba,diobu and ph or whatever places the op mention,there was an igbos man existing there.
Before benin came to onitsha,there was an igbo tribes existing there,
Before benin came to ndokwa or ukwuani to influenced them a bit,there was igbos pple existing there.
Before God sent israelite to occupied the promised land,there were pple existing there called the canaanite and hittite..

Before benin strangers came to ikwerre or aniocha land as the op said, there was an igbo man existing there..
and that s why our language is a symbol of evidence of population of igbo pple living there b4 the arrival of benin strangers..

so make una chill, the most important thing is that if the present edo people cannot communicate with an ogba man,ukwuni man,ikwerre man and onitsha man with his own language then he should forget him/her as a brother to attached with cos language and relationship matters alot.
So the benin civilization lost the unity of assimilating one language into their system..
Sometime i wondered who re the benin we re talking here cos in edo state, they have over100 diversity and varieties of languages..
Auchi man does not understand an esan or benin languages,
even igbanke man or ika man does not understand the benin language.
and they will tell yu they re from edo state but do not understand and speak the same languages...

bolaino:
for obvious security reasons, I can't come here to tell you precisely where I'm from in the Niger Delta, but be rest assured that I'm truly an indigene of the region, it's not something I should Bloat about. We are One Nigeria, whether Ibo, Yoruba, Hausa, we are one, WAZOBIA.

yu fvckup gon..must yu denied your tribe just to make peace in nigeria?
Bunch of betrayals and denials..

shota:



Igbo fool.. I said it.. These Igbo people are just out to wreck Rivers unity.. Look my friend.. When Sekibo the Okrika man was senator representing PH and even Ikwere Lga and Okrika together , He was voted by Ikweres.. Ph is a township and it is not a village like your places. Even a Hausa man or Yoruba can win elections in PH and it is due to civilization and not Tribalism.. Port Harcourt is the USA, ENGLAND AND CANADA of Nigeria so Carry your tribalism to your village bro. I said you are not a Rivers man.. a True Rivers man who lives in PH would not ask this silly question cos we Rivers PH dudes do not even go along tribal line.

why the mention of igbos in ur write up? he has said it severally that he s not igbo but ikwerre. Bro take note and stop provoking other igbos e+warriors.

Ugomba:
lies. ibibios are not that much in population.

who told yu the ibibio re not that much.?
they re even much than ijaws and they travelled all over nigeria than ijaws .

HopeAtHand:

You try and STFU please.
You are only required to read and dnt post.

Ok fault that assertion na.. Anyway kontinue..

OfoIgbo:


You have used a very faulty analogy.

There is no town called Anioma, yet it exists as a word, and we know all the towns and villages in Anioma.

There is no Wawa, but we no the areas and towns that exist within the Wawa enclave.

Igweocha is the name of the area currently known as PH. I believe there are also Okrika settlements encompassed by the modern PH. But much of PH was known as Igweocha before the coming of the whiteman

yu yan well.

shota:


Ignoramus.. You see Igbos who do not know anything about Rivers would continue to set Rivers people against each other.. If you do not know Ogbakiri and Kalabari is almost joining cos Emohua Kalabari road runs through Ogbakiri land and many Kalabari settlements are already by Ogbakiri.. Ogbakiri of the Okporowo are also almost Kalabari so carry your trouble making busy body Igbo spirit go Ngwa land.

i for fire yu but i dey feel yu(no homo) cos i dey enjoy ur history..
Wetin concerning me with ngwa.
cc joeprince23
Where re thou

shota:



He is from Ogbakiri and Ogbakiri people are historically pro Ijaw although they are Ikwere . He is far from the land PH and he also perhaps does not know PH .. And stop wasting your time PH is under Okrika control fully..

i ve seen the reasons why hopeathand said they re not igbos..
So ogbakiri is pro ijaws historically..bro thank yu for exposing this if it s true?
cos i know the real ikwerre will never ever denied igbos.

I don dey feel yu too..lol

shota:



Where is the Port Harcourt that is Igweocha ? I ask you again ? Which town or settlement or village of Port Harcourt is Igweocha ? And who is the Igweocha king or traditional ruler ?

abagworo or cheruv or afam4ever or pezienza or onenaira3 and tonychristopher.

Pls come and answer this questn.

HopeAtHand:



Shota na wah oh.
Shota na wah oh.
Shota na wah oh....hmmmmm.


So Kalabari are now part of the PH picture..Is there any document signed between Kalabaris and the British regarding any part of PH?.Which case has the kalabaris instigated and defended in a court of law from colonial times til date as regards PH?

The tussle Kalabaris had with Okrikans was purely property grab after the Igbos were deposed of their properties after the civil war..

The Ikwerres have ancestral rights to lands in PH, we have valid documents signed with the British for the establishment of the Port Harcourt port and Wharf and the subsequent colonial housing units that followed.

Okrika used to be a very few people of maybe a thousand or less by the time the british arrived..They are not a people large enough to have such lands to give out..

The Nigerian Federal Government after the war gave Ijaws control of Rivers state and they used it to alot to themselves properties of others...Fear of the evil they carried out is the reason they reject the govts decision to modernise waterside...go and learn history.

fire dey go..i dey feel yu..that guy don forget wen ndi ocha(white pple) com ph..
dem papa then dey put on flowers for yansh b4 igbo man com ask ikwerre elders questn wether mak d white pple use that place do project or not.?
The ikwerre man com sey him agree.
see how igboman took permission for una hand.
Una com dey see us as land undertaker because my gran fada and mama wise pass una own abi..
Ok o..keeep on seeing igboman as una enemy. Time shall tell.

God dey

shota:




I really do not want to discuss my land with Igbo people.. I am a PH dude and a PH panicker for that matter . How many Igbo people were among the militants that shut down PH ? If Igbos were important how come they could not cough and be part of action in PH ?. Igbos are just in Ph like they are in Lagos, Kaduna and kano. They are just more at home in Ph cos we accept them.

who re the we?
Re yu ikwerre? If yu re not,u cant accept us cos ph belongs to ikwerres.
Just that some ikwerre re so silly to think we want to overshadow them..
Ph is part and percel of eastern community so expect us to feel at home than lagos,kaduna or kano.

If anything want to happens to an igbo man in ph,okrika,kalabari or ijaws, it s easy for we igbos to ambush and dominate than a place we re less than..

HopeAtHand:


If i sounded hateful, i take that back..

The Kalabaris are actually very good friends with Ikwerres but they sided unjustly with Okrikans when the ought to have stood on the side of truth and justice in the issue of PH.

We acknowledge that land is very scarce in riverine areas and gladly welcome you to live amongst us in brotherhood either in Phalga, Emolga or Obalga..you are always welcome.

Rivers state is for everyone.

I am from Ogbakiri, Emohua.

nwenne..
ebi like sey Yu never still wake up.
Your eyes neva still clear.
That siding of okrika go still repeat itself anyday anytime wetha in politics or land grabbing.
Yu know why. The ijaws. okrika and kalabari see una as igbo but no quote me to derail this thread jus kontinue ur comments with shota..
I dey feel u..

shota:


Trust me he is not a Rivers man.. He is one of those Igbo people settled in Oyigbo or some where in some Rumu claiming to be Rivers and calling PH Igweocha....LOL they are now close to 500,000 thousand Igbos like that .

chai..na wa o..is ph not igweocha b4 and now?
The guy na ikwerre o..

shota:



I am even thinking you are an IGBO cos a true Ikwere would not have such hatred against Ijaw.

ok because he said the truth and kick against the ijaws acclaimation of wrong assertion.he s now an igboman?abi
He hate ijaws abi..?

yu can checked his old comments,that guy is part and parcel of yu lot from southsouth but the spirit of igboness will always linger somehow no matter how they denied it..
He doesnt hate ijaw pple,he only fire the engine like an igbo man and that s how our spirit roll if they start to belief.loL

bamosagie:


Please tell me the difference between Benin and Oredo.

until yu answer my question? Re yu trying say that auchi language or oredo language is not different ?

Make i calls my niggers here now..

HopeAtHand:


You are a Liar if you call Abonnema and Okrika large towns.What is large about Abonnema, that one road village that doesnt even have a decent cemetery..i almost wept at a burial when they literally had to dip up bones of the dead to bury the dead...Or is it Okrika Island that is a little bigger than a football stadium that you call large?..What for goodness sakes?

To have large large towns, you need land, something the Ijaws dont have, matter of fact, their shoreline is receding, making you guys to lose the little you have.
.....Lol....

If Ijaws are majority in Rivers, do the talking at the elections and produce Governor...By the time Wike is done it will be 24yrs at the turn of democracy..so much for majority..after drinking Ogogoro, you lots starts living in illusion and doling out crazy population figures that cannot be backed up..

Ikwerre areas already have 1.1Million out of 2.5Million registered voters.come and cintest governorship and win make i see.

bros, na my first time to see yu yan good.

lygn19:

y did u have to group anioma and d igboid groups in Rivers differently?... then group all Ijaws together.

i was wondering why he did so too.
D guy think we re fool anyway he s the fool here cos kalabari dont see themselves as ijaws,even some part of okrika.
But it s only in bayelsa state u will see pple claiming ijaw and the ones in delta state but not in rivers as a whole.

Lawsimon:
EFIK/ANNANG/IBIBIO IS CONSIDERED AS THE FOURTH LARGEST GROUP IN NIGERIA. But some people will come and express their ignorance here.

which state will somebody go in nigeria that he wont see an efik/ibibio or oron man?
but ijaws or uhrobo is hardly seen in most state in nigeria..
Apart frm that,akwa ibom and crossriver re much in population than the ijaws in bayelsa,rivers and delta add together.

aim5:
And as for who is the largest group in the South-South, I agree with bokohalal that Edo technically is the biggest. It's just that the Edo nation broke off into small small groups after the peak of Benin Kingdom.

with different languages that linger your state? I dont understand how come?
Pls educate me more cos auchi language is differnt frm,benin,oredo,esan,akoko edo,okada.etc.
So how com '?

rudebouy:



That was how ur ppl sed that etches are igbo. Well, we were in etche yesterday for a biz transaction. I now remembad and asked the chiefs and youths in the townhall meeting and day all denied being igbo. Day even asked me to show dem the person dat sed so, and I told dem to cool down dat it was just an internet joke. I was both shocked and embarassed.

Who den is an igboman? The man that speaks igbo? Or the one that says he is from igbo and also speaks igbo? Or the one that the igbos claim to be from igbo? Who is really an igbo man?

an igbo man is the ones that the yorubas and other ethnic group in the world look at his/her names and called it an igbo name is an igbo man..
Hope i answer yu well like chibuike ameachi..
Pezienza nice responds.

menabadoo:
Yorubas are cursed, that tribe is the problem of the world.

exactly what i am saying.they re broda..

rudebouy:


Who told you dat? Pls stop swallowing lies from fools around. I am an akwa ibom man and der is no igbo speaking part in akwa ibom. Akpabio only married an igbo woman. And it is only the traders that live close to abia and anambra dat speak igbo becos of dia trade relations with aba boys. Its like saying dose alaba is an igbo speaking part of lagos becos of the influx of anambra traders.

Pls u guys shd stop spewing lies abt akwa ibom. D oda day a guy on facebook was talking abt umuessien in akwa ibom. Na wa oh! Der is no place like dat in my state. Where do all dis lies come from?

pls after reading this link to prove that there re igbos in akwa ibom.

I also want you to answer this question if your people in akwa ibom answer an igbo name called nwoko..? After opening that link Pls read and be convinced.

Yu lived in akwa ibom and yu dont know all the tribes in ur state?
What a shame rudebouy.

Abi lg in crossriver state is igboid speaking tribe,yu can google it..

Ilekeh:
Why are Igbos scared of this type of thread?

because your pple love to see the southeast and southsouth divisions..
They love it when we brawl and rants but hate it when we unite.

Yorubas re worst set of ethnic group in africa.
they love anything lies and betrayals..
They re judas of africa...
fear them and kill them dan killing a snake.

laudate:


It is a pity that you are choosing to interprete my comments as hatred. Anyway, you are free to say what you like about my posts, but I know the truth. It is sad, that anyone who does not fall stupidly in line with the hate-filled speeches of your people, is termed an enemy.

Those who lost relatives in that war, have never forgotten. So they do not want to lose anymore folks.

As for your comment about how " Igbos beat d heart of every majority of your likes who re scared and envied of the great ndigbos." I laughed!! You can believe what you like. All I know is that those who beat the drums of war for others, shall end up dancing to the tune of violence, by themselves. Chukwu Okike will not allow them to drag others along with them, in their journey of violence.

So kindly stop warning me. Warn those who are so determined to unleash another round of blood letting in Ala'Igbo!

hope yu see the useless thread ur useless broda opened?

www.nairaland.com/2576804/igbos-successfully-dominate-crime-sector#37683455

After yu will blamed the igbos for defending themselves
Pple like yu will come out and speak thrash..

laudate:


Bros, there is NO hatred for Igbos anywhere in my post. All I have done is to advise them. If they want Biafra, no problem. But flinging hate speeches and insults at other tribes, is NOT the way to go about it. Separation can be done without violence.

Those inciting violence here, were not born during the civil war....and that is why they are just opening their mouth to spill any rubbish.

Igbos have lost enough people in the last civil war. It must not happen again. Never again!

we lost enough pple in the last civil war and we multiply by ten fold..cant yu see we didnt lost pple at all?

Apart frm biafraland ,igbos is the 2nd in population in any state in nigeria..
aint it?
Anyway yur hatred for ndigbos is in yu..read all yur comments again and tell me where yu sound neutral?
Igbos beat d heart of every majority of your likes who re scared and envied of the great ndigbos..

Laudate...:Iwu onye ebee?

Hey?? Be careful?? Say wetin happen?? Are you resorting to threats now? Haba!!

no no no...for what na..why will i threatening my fellow compatriots.

Reduce yur personal hatred for ndigbos cos i smelled your hatred all over the thread.
i know my pple so be warned

laudate:


Bros, you should go back to the beginning and tell us who fired the first insult. Kindly get your head out of your anus. It is making you high!

yu must be having comprehension problems if yu could not figure out the op's thread is an insults to ndigbos...

Laudate be careful..
