Biafrarep:
Your question is totally illogical. If you truly understand the make up of both cities you won't be asking such question.

Lagos is a homogeneous city surrounded by a homogeneous tribe while P.Harcourt is a heterogeneous city surrounded by a heterogeneous region.

you don talk am finish.

Joke of the millenium. I doubt up to 10% of the broader PH region is located within Okrika.

abuloma, amadi ama, borokiri, aggrey(close to rivers state government house), odili road axis etc, these are all okrika lands/community. So is 50/50. Although Obio akpor lga can be tagged as ph too.

selemempe:
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

LMFAO. What a way to start the day! Firstly dude, we aren't brainwashed animals. Nigeria can't split today; not even in the next 20 years so perish any thought of such.

Secondly, Igbo strategically acquiring Port Harcourt? Come on man, just like Lagos, after developing, the owners of the land will chase you out like they did before. Land isn't an asset to boast of especially in a volatile region like the Niger Delta.

Lastly, you must exposed this scam called 'Biafra'! So the only reason you attach AS to this farce is because of the ports at Calabar, Warri and Port Harcourt? But if Rwanda and Botswana can do it without ports, why can't Biafra? Or you don't believe in your capabilities? In other words, you're want us to align ourselves with a cause so you can exploit us just like Nigeria has done for over 50 years now? Well, like I say, it becomes a case of the devil you know.

Btw, where is voltron14 when you need him.

selemempe:
who said Rivers state was an Igbo state?

What has been said is that Port Harcourt which is only a small part of Rivers state is igbo
Your arguments are childish joor

So what, Biafra intends to take Port Harcourt and leave the rest of Rivers State. Hehehe... Will you take Calabar and Warri too then call it an Igbo "city" regardless of the identity they want for themselves.

if anybody told the British that there would be a civil war in Nigeria just 6 years after they left they won't believe it....so relax...what will happen in the next 4 years is still unknown not to talk of 20 years. Igbos have made their stance clear...they want to go it alone...they don't need Hausa or yoruba or ijaw...

There was never a time Igbos was chased out of any part of Nigeria except during the civil war...buying land in pH is very strategic but I don't expect you to see

pH is Igbo...we are not claiming warri or Benin or Calabar or Uyo or bayelsa...just leave Asana and pH for us and Biafra and Niger Delta can be good neighbors

I repeat...it will be childish for an urhobo man to think that there will be a future where Igbos will be excluded from pH while urhobo is included....perish that thought...we don't want your tribe...stop attaching your tribe to Igbo areas and hiding under 'south south' why can't your tribe stand alone? If Qataris can...why can't your tribe? Why do you need to attach to ikwere and anioma?

no we don't want Calabar, warri and other parts of rivers state...we just want our igboland intact ....I'm sure our map doesn't cross into your territory... you just want to make mischief...but you should know that Igbos are the chief priests of mischief

Eziokwu1:


Nobody is parent to anybody, the main point is that we all descent from the same ancestral stock of people. Hence why all our dialects share great degrees of mutual intelligibility. The biggest shrine of Amadioha/Kamalu is somewhere in Rivers state.
Oil politics is really doing a lot of damage to the psyche of some of our people.

If traced well, one would discover that Amadioha deity has its origin in Rivers State, ikwerre people can't in truth say that they aren't Igbo by extension

I don't have an issue with that but you can't decide sh*t from your house as far as I'm concerned, you're nobody. Asaba and Port Harcourt are part of South-South Nigeria until they choose otherwise. Shey Israel and America will help you, you don't have to usurp people's identity because you want to have ports. Botswana and Rwanda are landlocked. They do not have sea ports but they're doing quite well. Having ports have no bearing on how well a country does so run along now...

I am not alone...
Listen to this...

100% of Igbos believe Anioma and ikwere are part of the Igbo nation
Up to 40% of ikwere and anioma people themselves believe they are Igbo
80% of the rest of Nigeria see Anioma and ikwere as Igbo

You will understand the power of these statistics in the future.

You are the one trying to usurp an identity that you are not part of...let me ask you....Are you Anioma or Ikwerre or Igbo? How does the topic concern you if not that you want to insinuate yourself in what is not your business

An Anioma man below can be seen saying they are Igbo....and funny he is even the gov of your state...life must be hard for you

All these as what?

Before these permutations, how about something practical. Go on the streets of Asaba, Ibusa, Agbor, Aboh, Umunede, Bonny or even Port Harcourt, do a census, asking the locals about this trash you put up here, record your conversation (video evidence), post it and I won't need any further convincing.

It's 2020 for f**k' s same, you can't decide for someone else from your home!

Eziokwu1:
I have always wondered this question.
Both cities are melting pots. But somehow Lagos has managed to entrench a foundational Yoruba character both linguistically and socially.
In the case of Port Harcourt that can't really be said for the city. I know there is an Ijaw (Okrika) part of the city, but it is quite small, and the greater part of Port Harcourt is basically Ikwerre. The lingua franca for 90% of PH is idgin.
Infact, very soon Oyigbo/Obigbo and Port Harcourt will merge into one. Is this how an Ikwerre-Igbo city is going to ditch it's heritage and become 'identityless'?

A non Lagosian can pick up standard Yoruba on Lagos Island, Ikotun, Agege or Ikorodu in 1 year if they are interested in doing so, but a Nigerian will rarely pick up neither Ikwere nor Igbo after living decades in Port Harcourt? Why?

There ara many indigenous tribes with different languages in PH

I have family in Asaba (iseke road precisely), I visit Ibusa and Agbor often, and from what I've seen ohhh, like real life estimates, more than 60% of northern deltan see themselves as Igbo.

if you're from Asaba you'll most likely see yourself as Igbo, it's few of the people from agbor that don't always see themselves as Igbo.

I've also met some who say that they are different but most of them keep an open mind to their Igboness, this one isn't talk, I've gone around to ask.

I feel like the major fear is that S.S igbos have is that S.E igbos wouldn't accept them or give that brotherliness that they give fellow southeasterners.

when I came back to Nigeria last year...it was an Agbor man who drove the taxi I entered...

He saw me immediately and came straight and started speaking Igbo to me...when I knew he wasn't from SE was when he spoke to his fellow Agbor man ....he told me that Agbor is Igbo.

It is important that we keep these people close because we are not many...we can't afford to leave anyone behind... Nigeria is not a sure country...we are not stable enough for someone to say there won't be division of the country tomorrow.


Igbo nation must start preparing for that without including non igbos

If you notice you will see that any time this topic comes up, 90% of those saying there are no Igbo in the south south are neither from Anioma or Ikwerre...it's a psychological warfare against Igbos from all angles bro

Read my comment again if you didn't understand, the advert in Igbo is to reach Igbo customers just like hero does there's with echefula across Nigeria, what's hard about a company reaching out to its target customers, all Dano milk cares about to my understanding is product sales and not your constant Igbo vs Rivers people's rhetoric

Go and conduct the census yourself and see if there are not up to 500k ikwere people who see themselves as Igbo.

If 40% of ikwere see themselves as Igbo while the remaining 60% see themselves as ikwere...we can live with that..as far as the 60% don't see themselves as ijaw or yoruba or Benin


Just remove your eye from ikwere bro... there leaders have rejected you and have aligned with Igbos...go and read where Amechi called himself Igbo....or where Duncan mighty called himself Igbo

You will be alright las las. With pH and Asaba coming with Igbos...why will we need the rest of the south south

my question is this....do the real owners of PH understand that language or not?

Is the language in that advert the native language of the Aborigines of Port Harcourt or not?
