yesloaded: Lagos is not 100% Yoruba land. There are places in Lagos where Yotuba is not their ancestral language . like Ikoga Zebbe or Sagbokodji for example. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Marshalldrezzy: Who are you warning? yourself?. So who does PH belong to ?Port Harcourt is Ibo. The real name is Ugwu Ocha. PH Is was and is still being built by the Ibos. Technically it belongs to no one tribe by itself but the Ibos are dominant. \ 5 Likes 1 Share |

There are many reasons for this. But the reason I would want to point out is that the Igbo language itself, is dying out. Even in cities like Enugu, you'll notice that Igbo speakers (I don't mean those that speak one or two words in Igbo And then use English to complete the sentence) are few. So, if the Igbo language is not prominent in a major Igbo capital like Enugu logically it wouldn't be prominent in other cities close to Igbo land. 1 Like |

This thread have been diverted. Meanwhile, I was coming back from work one evening, I got to rumuola play ground, I was hearing drum beats, I thought I was in my village. Guess what, it was a local wrestling match. The same method it's been done in my village. Maybe tomorrow, an Ngwa man will say he's not Igbo that he's Ngwa or Nsukka saying he's not Igbo but Nsukka. Ikwerre people are the only people in Nigeria that found their identities in the '70s.... You claim to be from Benin and no one just one bears Benin name but all Igbo. I have a friend that their family name is Agwu from Umuadaolu, I was thinking he's from Ohafia. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Techdra:you my friend are just acting like a block head without the ability to reason deeply Let me ask you...as the entire south south states are multi ethnic, why is Ibibio the dominant language in Uyo? Why not pigeon English? Why is ijaw the dominant language in yenagua why not pigeon English?

Techdra:they have decided? Child please you can't decide to change your tribe or race! It's part of your DNA ...a blackman can't decide he is no longer black... you can change your nationality or sub-nationality...but you can't change tribe or race. If you bring an ikwere man, an Igbo man and a yoruba man and check their RNA, the ikwere and the Igbo will match 100% while the yoruba will be different. And hey ....it seems you have not been paying attention...Igbos are dealing with it. Why do you think we are always talking about this issue? Go to Wikipedia and read about ikwere and see what smart Igbos are doing about it. Go to pH itself and see how Igbos are strategically acquiring it. It will be childish of any 'we the south south' folks to think that if Nigeria splits today Igbos will abandon pH to Niger Delta Republic....it will not happen! pH is too strategic to us...it is our only link to the ocean.... Oh ijaw and the rest of the south south should be ready to kill every igbo for pH before we leave our god's given land to you just because of threats 6 Likes 1 Share |
