Ofcourse, in diaspora where they don't have much of their people to form association, they have to settle for the next option, which is Ndiigbo. It's only normal. Those same Diasporan Ikwerres when they return home and join their people in Rivers, would quickly revert to their Igbophobic nature.

It's sickening honestly.

The way I am seeing this Ikwere stuff, it seems that those that are rejecting that Igbo tag are louder, I don't know if they are in majority or minority.
Then when it comes to issue of you seeing an Ikwere man outside Nigeria joining Ipob, that one is certain because some of them join igbo organisations and Igbos to have a voice. Not only Ikwere, I have seen some non igbos in SS joining Igbo union in diaspora including IPOB.

In fact, this Ikwere saga is complicated and should be treated as inconsequential case.
Are IkwereS up-to 4 million?

lol. U don't understand the kind of resentment this people have. It is not jst hating.. They hate any thing progress as far as Igbo is concern. Do you think they will agree. Their mind ave been coded and programmed to hate Igbo.. River port is better

Obi1kenobi:


The SW are in a governing coalition with the North as co-founders of APC. They have labored to bring APC this far. Igbos positioned themselves as the main opposition to APC and have contributed little to the party at national level. Everyone knew there was never any way that they would hand over power to Igbos in 2023. The rotation as it is for the presidency is between the North and South. The SW would feel eligible to contest the Presidency in 2023. Also, these theories about the SW's political oblivion don't hold any water. The core North who loathe Igbos more than any other group in the country will certainly pick a Yoruba over an Igbo in the current political climate. This is the time for Igbos to be making overtures to the Middle Belt and Niger Delta. Complacency about the SW's political oblivion is a gift for Yorubas.

Obigbo is Igboland. It is and will always be.
Last time I checked, you are an Ikwerre and your Ikwerre land is landlocked. When and if the Ijaws get their Oil Rivers state proposal approved,your eyes will clear.
Inasmuch as I'm not insupport of adding Ogoniland to Igboland, the point had to be made that you are neither Ogoni nor spokesperson for Ogoni people, so you might just need to stay in your Bini Ikwerreland and stay off this thread.

HopeAtHand:



How do you say Ikwerre is landlocked when they have a port on their land? Or is the Port Harcourt wharf, the basis [s]for which the city got its name in Igboland?

Its funny how you know this and still write what you want. Its not like being landlocked translates to hopelessness. So kini big deal?

I wish to state here and now that i can be on any thread i wish on NL, regardless of wether anyone or group considers my presence there necessary or not. I do what i want, when and how.

Now that i have established my position, i wish to state that the map of Biafra that has territories of unwilling ethnicities stupidly drawn into it wasn't drawn by me but IPOB and IPOB for all intents and purposes remains a property of the Igbos of SE Nigeria.


If Igbos do not want a greater resentment from minority SS groups from what we already have on ground, they should caution IPOB fr drawing inciting maps and should as a matter of cordial and peaceful coexistence limit all IPOB activities to their areas i.e the 5 SE states and Asaba/Aniocha areas of Delta.


The least Igbos can do now is to offend people they rather be courting, else some lessons might be taught. Lessons that would be hard to forget.


He that has an ear, let him hear. Thanks.

Who dash dem 4 LGAs?

It's 3 and half.

1. Emohua
2. Ikwerre
3. Obio/Akpor

They share PHLGA with Okrika people.

That's the current situation.

OpenYourEyes1:
We need to let the ikwerre be.
I kind of understand why some don't want to be associated with the Igbo family. It's human nature. Insulting them will only make things worse. I guess they are trying to survive or avoid being tyrannized by men of lawlessness. It is a cowardly approach unfortunately but what can we do.

You can't negotiate with FG for Ogoniland, you can only negotiate with Ogonis for affiliation with Biafra.
Obigbo is Igboland as it stands, so I don't know why you had to put it there.
Ogonis are not all that friendly neighbors to Ndiigbo in Obigbo, they have been fighting Obigbo people for Obigbo lands, the crisis there was so high in the 1990s that Obigbo people had to invite their brothers in Ukwa East and West, Abia State for help , it wasn't until then was Obigbo lands kept free from land grabbing Ogonis, who initially thought that Obigbo was a lone Wolf they could overwhelm with their superior numbers in Rivers state. The constant squabble between Ogonis in Tai and Obigbo Igbos was the major reason Obigbo was carved out of old Tai LGA, and made an independent LGA of it's own.

The Ogonis are not necessarily a bad people, but personally, I'd rather not share a country with them. Already, the Eleme Ogonis who feel privileged and better positioned, because they host most of the multinational corporations in Ogoniland including the Onne seaport, are already separating themselves from Khana, Gokana and Tai Ogonis, they are saying Eleme is now an independent ethnic group. That's the kind of mindset they have over there.
Ogoniland clean up is going to take billions of naira to execute , where will a young Biafra get such Money from to start cleaning Nigeria mess in Ogoniland? Knowing these people and their sense of entitlement and injustice, they would start shouting IGBO domination and marginalization, the moment we don't focus our resources on their area.
Is it really worth the headache? I don't think so.

Maybe a better diplomatic Biafra team might still win them into joining us, as I personally don't fancy them, nor do I see them deciding to join us.
But you have to give away the very idea of dividing and annexing people land without their consultation, it's a very wrong mindset. Your idea of discussing with FG for Ogoniland, as if Ogoni people are imbeciles with no group input or opinions on the matter, is repugnant and such mindset needs to die.

Having said that, I love and recognize your passion for Igbo nation well being.

Jisike.

Back to the topic...

— I think we should explore new ways to develop our lands. Some suggested the use of ICO (Initial Coin Offering) to develop the real estate and other important Industries. The good thing about ICO is that people anywhere in the world can easily buy into your token/project especially If you are honest, transparent and a good Real Estate developer/entrepreneur. If you build your Estate and it is doing well your company's token will increase in price... The token thing is a bit more like shares in Stock Market, only difference is that it can be used as currency.
As your token keeps going up in value your estate will be worth more and your investors will be happy.
*Try researching about ICO if interested.




— I was wondering if increasing minimum wage will help increase our states purchasing/consumption power and attract investors.
Some argued that this will lead to inflation. I think it won't have much of an impact if done well.
Most of the increase will go directly to mortgage/housing, insurances, healthcare, education, child support, etc. For example, if a company increases salary from from 20,000 to 60,000
employee will get paid 20,000 while the remaining 40,000 will be sent directly to the employee's Mortgage , Insurances, Healthcare Companies. When the employee is ready to buy or build a home, he just apply to the mortgage company and a home will be built for him. Same with Insurances , health care, education.

The companies should be located within the state. If it becomes impossible to get the companies established in the state, good Indigenous Companies could be used

It is important that States get much of the increased minimum wages spent within the state to improve its economy and make the State very attractive to investors.

And they are scared of Igbos too?

Who dash monkey banana. For where!
Onne seaport belongs to Eleme people, even though Okrika people have a considerable stake in it as well.

Ikwerreland has no sea coast. Just like Igboland, they can only access the sea via Rivers controlled by Ijaws down South.

oilPUSSY:

If we don't discuss them how can we know what is going on in that area?
The thread really opened the eyes of many, and many people offline are not aware of things that are going on there until they start reading.
Some of us used to love everbody from that axis but I think time has come for such love to be selective.
We should start loving some of them on personal basis because of friendship and martial issues but not on general basis.
We must keep making inquiries about them because igbo si na onye ajuju anaghi efu uzo.
Onye amaghi ebe mmiri bidoro maba ya, ogaghi ama ebe okwusiri ya.
The funny thing is that they are still bearing our names.
What type of nonsense is that ?
