I don't engage on wike and, Ikwerre people thread. Left for me, they should be cut out from all igbo affairs including Ọhaneze and WIC. Them being there while castigating Ndigbo in Nigeria is Shameless of them

Alawe:
My name is Chinedu Onyema from Etche, Rivers State. Nyesom Wike has no right to speak for indigenous Igbos in Rivers State.

I saw Fulani people rejoicing on Facebook because Nyesom Wike said Rivers State is not part of Biafra.

Let me just tell the Fulani, Nyesom Wike has only 1 vote if referendum is conducted.

Anyway, Nyesom Wike is just a politician that is protecting his office, so I don’t blame him.

I dare Federal Government to conduct referendum in Rivers State and see that 70% of Rivers State population is Igbo.

owobokiri:
It is time for the MAJORITY igbo population in Rivers State to start speaking up and start challenging Mrs Tambuwal! Nyesomghosa Wikevie is on steroids..
He's has said a lot of nonsense these days.

During the Obigbo massacres, he actually made a statewide address where he said there are no Igbos in Rivers State! What does that mean? And the Igbos indigenous to Rivers State kept quiet!

You guys need to push back. He only has few years to stay there so there's little he can do really.. An inebriated ikwerre tout has no right to define your identity..

Igboid:


The Igbo in Rivers State are not really in majority.
Just Obiigbo and Egbema.
How do you expect them to push back in an Igbophobic state when we have cowards as SE governors and Ohanaeze Ndiigbo fraudulently open doors to Igbophobic Ikwerres to flood the organization?

We are compromised and need a serious in-house cleaning.

I don't think that Ikwerres in Ohanaeze are the problem. I think it's Ikwerres of Nyesomghosa Wikevie heu.. Ikwerre in Ohanaeze are trying to identify, how we they the problems?
And honestly, irrespective of the size or quantity, the areas in Rivers State that see themselves as Igbos should be pushing back against the emperor of Rivers outbursts..

It is internal affairs of River state people.They should challenge Wike if truely they are not in support of his position.

Igboid:


The Ikwerre in Ohanaeze are nothing but moles. The earlier some of you understand it,the better.
The Ikwerre are on the majority Igbophobic.

Visit Ikwerre land and find out for yourself. Join Ikwerre private groups on Facebook and see the sorts of Igbophobic sentiments expressed there with no objection whatsoever from any of them.
Some of you like playing the ostrich. But the truth will keep rearing it's ugly head.

Wike is not a problem. Wike represents the sentiment of majority of his people back home. Know this and know peace.

owobokiri:


Dude,
You mangle these things sometimes..
I'm pretty straightforward in my analysis of these events most times.
I agree totally with you that igbophobia is ripe in most of these places. You don't need to tell me. I experienced it first hand in Kano from two Ogonis more than a decade ago! Story for another day..
Where I have always disagreed with you is on the source of these mega hate, how to contain or deal with it and how to calibrate a powerful state in the midst of all these cacophony of noises, going forward.

You want the Igbo to retract his steps, shrink in and turn inwards.. I disagree.
Taking into cognizance the chances of utilizing the influences coming with having those willing to associate with the Igbos amongst these groups, I believe that we have to be fluid, dynamic and less stiff about things... It's communities and societies we are talking about not individual relationships...
Nobody is playing ostrich but if you recoil at the sight of every problem and obstacle, how do you win?

Igboid:


They can't do much.
Those people are highly marginalized in that state by overwhelming Igbophobic Agenda there.
To stand up against the Igbophobia, they need a stronger SE and Ohanaeze leadership to back them.
But how will the above happen when you have same Igbophobic Ikwerres given access to infiltrate even the holy Chambers of Ohanaeze Ndiigbo, the Ime-Obi?

paramakina202:


True,Ikwerre should be expelled from Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo with immediate effect.
They should stop accepting spies into apex Igbo organisation.
Igbos living in River state should stop supporting UNGRATEFUL Ikwerri candidates during election.
Igbo vs Ikwerri relationship should be based on tit for tat basis.Enough of their nonsense.

Exactly what reasonable Igbos have been advising.

The above is simple and easy enough.
But folks can let go of irrational sentiments.

FreeIgbos:
@igboid
@owobokiri

You both are right in your assertions, the difference in your argument can be likened to 6 and half a dozen. That said, I want to make a point clear. The Ikwerre actually believe that we Igbos have nothing to offer them. In fact, they actually believe that it will pay them more to be hostile to us than to accept us brothers.

These guys are utterly selfish and deluded, they see the larger Igbo nation as a competition they can't afford to deal with but by distancing themselves from us, they will leverage on the national Igbophobic tendencies to rob us, eat their cake and still have it. The height of it was immediately after the war. They not only seized Igbo houses but also seized lands belonging to other Igbos that fled their communities during the war because they were pro Igbo/Biafra. I almost shed tears when I recently watched a documentary by a white man who interviewed this Igbos whose lands ikwerres seized. They told the interviewer that the ikwerres have refused to leave their lands they are now occupying and were threatening to fight them using state power and all. When the ikwerres were interviewed, they claimed those that fled should return to the East Central state. Remember, this was when the oil industry was picking up, so while money was flowing from the oil industry, Igbos in the East Central state were still very broke, and ...

Igboid:


Owobokiri cannot be correct if I'm correct.

Of course the Ikwerre is banking on the Igbo emotional attachment to remain in business.

They harvest the Nigerian Igbophobic Agenda to stay in business, and when convenient they claim Igbo to get whatever crumbs Igbo have, because they know that Igbos are stupid. They even say this openly in their groups, that the Igbos are stupid and that they can be Igbo whenever they want and achieve whatever they want. They can be Igbophobic and kill Igbos and you will still have the likes of Owobokiri, Nnamdi Kanu and the incompetent Ohanaeze calling them brothers. You think the likes of Uche Okwukwu and other Ikwerre moles in Ohanaeze Ndiigbo are not working hand in hand with Ogbakor Ikwerre and Wike?
Sometimes I get baffled how we became this slow.

When we become serious as a people, we know the right thing to do.

I will continue saying it until people grow sense.
Now IPOB are seeing Wike as an enemy, claiming they will deal with him after he left office. They want to pretend like Wike isn't just the same as majority of Ikwerre people back home. When they were busy hobnobbing with Wike , I was here too advising on caution, reminding them that Wike is still an Ikwerre man and that majority of these people are Igbophobic.

So what's next when they are done with Wike? They would deal with the rest of Igbophobic Ikwerre people back home too? Are the Ikwerres really worth it? When are we going to grow up as a people?

Listen, no matter how strong you are, you can't hold unto a hand that will not hold unto you.
At a point you have to realize that you are disspating energy and let go.

I can't continue repeating same thing everyday. Folks will not listen, so what's the point?
Onye ajuru anaghi Aju onwe ya.

FreeIgbos:


While I agree with you about drawing a line against them, my point is that the only way we can truly humiliate these guys and make them regret all they did to us is only if we are able to become great.

When the war ended, the ikwerres assumed that we were totally down and out, never to rise again. They thought that the oil industry will make them rich so why accommodate us when we have nothing to offer them, instead by denying us, it will make it easy for them to claim our properties and ride on Igbophobic tendencies that was popular in Nigeria to fame. 50+ years later, the oil industry didn't make them rich as they had assumed while the Igbos they thought were routed have now clawed their way back up the food chain, and far more prosperous than them! Now, while the oil industry is past its prime, we Igbos are on the ascendancy, making exploits in many areas of life.

There is something about us Igbos that I don't understand. We claim to be Jews, but we don't act marchiavelian like the Jews when it matters most. Why on Earth would Igbos still return to build houses/plazas and buy properties in P.H after the terrible experience our parents suffered there? Maybe, it's our individualistic/capitalist nature that causes it but it's very wrong, everything shouldn't be about amassing profits! Imagine a P.H without Igbo investments?

Wike is trying to re-establish that same Igbophobia against us and worse still, he wants to rally all others against us and not just the ikwerres. We lack strong and wise leaders that ought to have corrected wike each time he makes his foolish statements. Lastly, you are right about cutting them off, at least it will stop them from eating their cake and still having it.
