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.

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.

femolii:
Lagos belong to Yoruba's and ph belong to ikweres.

rummmy:
Is ILORIN a Yoruba or a Fulani city,.....?.... I have spent 2 weeks here but could not see anyone speaking Yoruba, I'm still confused.

WorWorBoy:
You are not from rivers state but you are spilling so much nonsense here.

And who told you that the Ikwerres identified themselves as igbos?

XANDERBOY85:


And they usually use Igbo monikers to make it appear all 'innocent'!

splendour7:
considering the way thinx are going i give no fvck about language been speak in any of the south south states,ask me about,ENUGU,EBONYI,ANAMBRA,IMO AND ABIA.then i will gladly reply...i have said it times without number than the great ndi igbo dont need to attach with anybody to succeed...south south is not and will never be igbo!

0m0nnakoda:

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?

gidgiddy:


[s]The issue is not what Ikwerre identify as, the issue is about what language dominates Portharcourt

You may not believe this but over 65% of Rivers state indigenes are Igbo speaking people.

The rest 35% are Ijaw and Ogoni[/s]

WorWorBoy:
I am from rivers state so stop typing nonsense, the official language here in port Harcourt is pidgin English. Stop typing things you don't know.

You should understand that some people still want to have access to the sea and oil so they must continue their attaché by force by fire. SE/SS everyday as if the people they are attaching to recognizes their presence.

SciLab:


Ewedu muslim man, the 'savior' of the South-South wey never fit save him land for Illorin from Fulani.

Go and keep praying to Allahu for kelechi in Rivers to hate Amadi in Imo. Bang your head very well on the ground maybe Allah will hear your cries.

Area4Area:
Sorry o, I didn't know you'd be too pained

spiritmasquerad:

I do not agree for example am from Delta state, Idumuje Unor to be precise but I don't identify as igbo because according to our history we immigrant from Benin and it was actually Idumunje Unor before the white man came and kept confusing the two but what am saying is that they are differences between a PH Ikwerres person and the average Igbo man and that why they speak subigbo language if anyone pays attention you will notice that Efik sound a lot like Igbo but that doesn't make them Igbo

Chinablack:
your tribe immigrated from benin but dumped benin culture and languages despite living next door to them. why did you choose Igbo cultures and languages,,?, did the same history teach you Igbos bought you as slaves?, if it's true, which part of Igbo was that that used your distinct dialect?. or did you borrow the said dialect from benin too?. point of correction, effik language and that Igbo don't relate in anyway

Techdra:


Nope. I don't see myself as Igbo. I never will. And btw SS Igbos really don't have any fears. Who Igbo acceptance don epp?!

toolovely:


Try and understand his questions first before rushing to start calling Igbo this Igbo that...

MetaPhysical:
On its own, Ibo has zero significant value.
To give it any significance, we first pick a value in Yoruba and we assign a point value. We measure Ibo against that point value to see where it stands. This is how Ibo gets its significance, by measuring against a point value taken off Yoruba progressive index.

A mathematical expression can be written in an algebraic function and will point to the fact that Ibo is a dependency of Yoruba. In other words, without Yoruba, Ibo is nothing....but Yoruba is self sufficient even when Ibo does not exist, This is the supremacy doctrine.

Over decades and centuries, many foreign anthropologists, scholars and researchers have written records showing Yoruba as a 1st Tier race in Africa. A recent revelation also supported this and claimed a ghost ancestor, parallel to Neanderthal, is attributable to Yoruba beginnings. What this means is that Yoruba is a prototype of humankind. This is truly profound!

The lessons learnt is that Yoruba was a superior race, continues to be a Superior race....and will forever, in Oduduwa's name, be a Superior race!

Ibo must bow at the knees and pay homage to its Superior, Yoruba!

eagleu:


What a big illiterate!
Go learn what these mean, ok
1. Igweocha
2. Obigbo
3. Umumasi

Then come back with a clear head when you have enough information.

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?

Kpoikpoi:
You are absolutely mad,is Port Harcourt an Igbo city?
Go and develop Aba,stop day dreaming.
