bigfrancis21:you said exactly my mind. When I visited PH newly I was so surprised to an extent that I asked my cousin 'why is everything done with Igbo Language in Port Harcourt' he laughed and asked me "what language do you think they used in port Harcourt" I told him I was a bit confused because of what I usually see online, for me I was thinking PH is one big city where English language/ Pidgin and a bit of Ijaw language was used as means of communication. I became more surprised when I moved through the streets of PH to discover that almost all the billboards were in Igbo Language, local radio and tv stations uses Igbo, they even played local Igbo highlife, churches programs are mainly with Igbo language. I was drawn in confusion when I passed by a rural king's palace and found out he was addressed with Igbo title and names. In all the markets; they speak Igbo. So I believe Port Harcourt as a community is Igbo while Rivers as a state won't be said to be Igbo because it comprises of different tribes. I think what's confusing many people including OP is that they refer Port Harcourt city as a state on its own (Rivers) which is wrong, Port Harcourt is just a community inhabited by Igbo speaking people and it's in Rivers state which comprises of many tribes as aforementioned. It's just a capital city of Rivers State just as Asaba is to Delta and everything in asaba is done with Igbo, Ibadan to Oyo, Damaturu to Yobe, etc. OP I think what you are trying to compare is Lagos State to Rivers State, why don't you say Ikeja and Port Harcourt? Meanwhile, the Igbos in the South East should stop forcing the Igbos in the South South to be one because it will never add anything to your individual accounts or to the development of your SE states, after all the prodigal son decided to leave his father's home to be by himself thinking he was big and matured enough but at last he discovered that his childish decision led to his perishment and went back to ask his father for forgiveness. 4 Likes |

selemempe: What have you been drinking?, this line of thought is the reason why the first Biafra project failed, or have you not heard?. that the pi of that axis actually are a sell out. You can't force yourself on people in this modern age but you can persuade them. If you try to force them. and a war breaks out, last last UN will move in and conduct a referendum, can such election be rigged?, now will people who keeps insisting that they are not Igbo, cast their votes in your favor?. Why can't Igbos plan their Biafran without dragging unwilling people into it. The situation is more complex and deadly than all these Nairaland chests beating o. |

Techdra: Ikeweres are Igbos to me. I served in Ph and I can hardly differentiate between the Igbos and Ikwere it is just odd that they harbour too much hatred and suspicion to their Igbo brothers. I used to have one carpenter called 'Ikechukwu' I was surprised when he started talking negatively about Igbos when I taught all along that he was Igbo. 2 Likes |

selemempe:You people do not learn PH was the place where Igbos lost their property to Abandoned property rules yet you insist on attaching by force The Ikwerre rejected you a long time ago This domineering attitude was what you used to suppress Eastern Region minorities In I965 the Igbo led NCNC imposed a candidate from Ngwa on PH ,Elugwaraonu and the natives revolted Ikwunga Wonodi contested as an independent candidate and the impostor from Aba was disgraced. Still you continue this folly If PH is indeed Igbo why did they oppose Biafra and why did Igbos flee during the war? Why did Ikwerre seized their Abandoned property? 2 Likes |
