......same PDP that made una Principal here called Obi a foôl is no longer an evil party? LOL!

Theflint1:
You can't be minting poverty at the rate APC is doing and not be tagged evil, Donj alleging rigging is immaterial, especially since Otti won Abia, and Obi won Enugu convincingly.

Theflint1:
APC is the evil party.

What is PDP then?

Any non-state actor ready to sign a contract with BAT is always welcome, as long as the terms are favourable for both parties. Asari was under contract before and during the elections, na contract renewal e dey hustle now, I'm confident he and BAT would find a middle ground soon enough. How many bags of rice you reckon IBD has sent to BAT over the years?

What is PDP compared to APC?

DissTroy:


You are wrong. Do your research.

The Nsibidi writing system is of the Ibibio people. Until about a century ago, only the Ekpe cult of the Ibibios knew how to write and transcribe it. Till date, only Ekpe cult members can fully transcribe the Nsibide form of writing which is a tiny bit similar to Hieroglyphs.

Stop appropriating our history to others.
Just like the 1929 Women Riot is wrongly appropriated even though it happened at Ikot Abasi LGA, Akwa Ibom State.

Nsibidi has nothing to do with the Igbos. Strictly Ibibio. In crude Ibibio, Nsibidi means "spirit talk", or like Christians say " Speaking in tongues".

........in his defence though, he said the choice is based on competence not by turn. Same reason he made him to choose GRV over Sanwo-Olu - Competence. LOL!

airmark:


It was their GRV's support that finally confirmed that they had an agenda and good that Lagos didn't cave in.

I was like what has GRV done both in private and public establishments in his life to be more competent to govern a state like Lagos?.

PDAPC

Shey make we check the states that have had uninterrupted PDP rule since 1999 and compare them with those that had uninterrupted APC rule

A001:

Okay, you're right. I don't know much about the Ibibio people. Many of us in the Southwest call all the tribes around there Igbo.

I'm more familiar with the Igbo people and their language.

Theflint1:
I'd take this as you admitting APC has been an unmitigated failure at the centre from 2015-2024, so no need to dwell on that.

APC emerged in 2014 I think, so is that where you want to start from, or you want to include AD/AC/ANPP/CPC to the APC mix?

Almost all the ethnic groups in the SE Nigeria are Igbos. The thing is that, Igbo is a very general identity with numerous variants. Before the civil war, most of those communities consider themselves Igbo. It was the Nigerian government in the bid to weaken the people and use the divide and rule tactics broke the Igbo people apart and made some deny their heritage for a morsel of bread.

I am Owerri for example. My dialect is almost the same as Ikwerre. I cannot understand a man from Enugu or Abakiliki. But Enugu is Igbo and Ikwerre think they are not.

The Igbo cultural set cuts across Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta, Benue, Edo, Kogi etc.

A001:

Okay, I don't know much about una history in that sub-region.

Are u saying their are indigenous Igbo people in Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Benue, Edo and Kogi? Or what exactly are u saying in the bold part of ur statement?

Spy360:

The Ekpe secret society originated from the Efik speaking people but extended to the Igbo people. Ekpe society developed the nisipidi writings. That is why people say it is Igbo. In reality the Efik people are Igbos.

Spy360:

Yes.

A001:

Okay, many people associate the writing system with the Igbos. Even the guy working on the project made mention of the Igbos in many parts of his works, though he never said Nsibidi originated from the ethnic group.

APC has failed as much as PDP in the center. If not the country wont be a shithole

You can bring any state that has been ruled uninterrupted by AD/AC/ACN/APC from 1999 till date for comparison vs a state that has been PDP all through

BlueRayDick:


On what authority are u saying this? which history book are u quoting?

I also saw u mentioned Efik as being Igbo; how? U mean the Efik don't have their own history of how they came into being a group of people distinct from the Igbo's?

A001:
A simple way to differentiate one ethnic group or tribe from the other is to check their spiritual beliefs or indigenous religion. Based on that test, Efiks are not Igbos because Abassi is the ancestor of the Efiks, who they regard as the chief god, while Chukwu is the ancestor of the Igbos and their chief god.

Abassi and Chukwu are not the same entities.

I thought of a long rebuttal but then I thought what's the point of it when you lack basic understanding of geolocation to know the difference between South East and the South South where Akwa Ibom is located, or you are being mischievous.

You lots just like to force yourself on others even when you have been resoundingly told they have no ties to you. This argument was had just last December on this thread with Okpa and all doubts cleared. When you do this then appropriate other people's cultures.

We aren't interested and have no tribal ties to you. Why can't you get this and be on your way? Why force kinship with those who don't want it?

Remember clearly you started this so when and if it goes south, we know those who would gaslight and play the victim card on this thread.

It is difficult to say because in ancient civilizations who you call an Igbo man covers the people from Cross River like the Ogoja people.

It is like when you refer to the Russians, a Ukrainian may deny he is not Russian. But he actually is.
