Donkalio:


The Rumous the ikwerre man claim today was occupied dorminantly by the Igbos before the Biafra War...when the Ijaw man with the help of Nigerian Forces chased the Igbos out from portharcourt & its neighbouring places, the Ikwerre man begged for their lives & properties, that they are not part of the Igbos, & the ijaw man have mercy on them. If the ijaw man had not shown mercy, who would had know the existence of ikwerre in their numbers? Or Obio/Akpo LGA?

Well i know of the part where ijaw people poisoned the minds of the ikwerre people so they can encroach into other people's sweat. And the aftermath of the biafran war helped them achieve the said goal. The igbos worked and earned whatever land they lived in ph,they where the ones that opened up porthacourt because both ijaw and ikwerres where lazy to do anything on their own land,we came and acquire lands and developed for them as usual which is synonymous with igbos wherever they go but what happend to those that championed the cause of chasing out igbos from their hard earned properties. I mean the likes of isaac boro,the ogoni nine headed by saro wiwa, they all ended in a miserable way and still both tribes are not at peace with each other. That an ijaw man was made president was because igbos stood beside them till the very end so who is deceiving who

PFRB:


What happened was that the Ikwerre chiefs were illittrates and could not speak or understand the English language. Kalio the fisherman had been the interprter since he could speak Igbo....It is noteworthey here that Okirikas speak Igbo fluently. So he was the one who interprted to the chiefs.

I'm aware, he was a translator..

PFRB:


Old GRA is Ogbunabali land. It does not belong to Okirika. Rainbow is Nkpogu land. Azuabie belongs to Oginigba. Njemanze belongs Rumuwoji ie mile one village community. It is not arguable that old Port Harcourt belongs to Diobu people. This is clear.

And Abuloma belongs to Elekahia right?
Where are the documents of ownership?
Because Okrikans are the de-facto owners of those places you mentioned.
there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Poloyanabo1:

But rainbow town is in Amadi ama.
The name is trans amadi ama industrial area, i know a lot about rivers history than you can imagine...
im not an ethnic bigot, ikwerre still owns 47% of Phalga you don't need to fear.

Rainbow is on Nkogu land. I think the Nkpogu community have been in court with the state govt over some peice of land that they claim the estern Nigeria govt did not acquire.

24SEVEN:


I ain't got no beef with you or Okrikans. I just want to let you know that Trans-Amadi wasn't named after Amadi-Ama.

When was Amadi-Ama even incorporated into Trans-Amadi, wasn't it with the creation of Odili road that some of those areas opened up.. Odili road of yesterday. Was Amadi-Ama in any plan??


If you want history class, pay and I will teach you..

Okrika fisher man sand fill those areas, berger is still paying royalty to that family.

EzePromoe:

That's not true please.
53% is exaggeration. Let's be truthful here! If you look at PHALGA today it is more than 70% Ikwerre land. Diobu is the biggest town in PHALGA, that alone could account for 15% of the landmass. You're expanding PHALGA into Okrika LGA, if the same should be done with Obio/Akpor, you know what the result will be.

No bro Okrika lga is separated from Phalga by River.
Only Abuloma is bigger than Diobu.
If you doubt, do you know that Abuloma houses the highest number of companies in Phalga?
google it, now tell me: on what land?

See this one.. Ikwerre own 47% of Phalga, yet out of 20wards in the LGA, Ikwerres are representing 16, while Okrika represent 4.

out of 3 state Phalga constituencies in Rivers State House of Assembly, Ikwerres represent 2, while Okrika represent 1.

out of 2 Phalga constituencies in National House of reps, Ikwerres represent 2 out of 2.


Since the return to democracy, no Okrikans has been Mayor of Port Harcourt. All have been Ikwerres.

So much for 47%.

One thing i hate about you is that you always skew the facts to favour you...
Nkpogu is part of Rainbow but not more than 50%

24SEVEN:



See the rubbish you are writing and how elated you are writing this shi*t..


Ijaws man with help from FG chased Igbo from Port Harcourt in 1970s and Ikwerres begged Ijaws to stay in PH. When there are documents showing that in 1912 the British signed land agreement with Ikwerre. so 1912 and 1970 which came first.

So Ikwerre begged Okrika so that Ikwerre can remain in their God given land. A land they allowed the British to use as port town in 1912..

May God have mercy on all of you liars.

But their where some collaboration between the two tribes to chase the igbo man away from ph for sure and the ijaw did fight alongside Nigerian army too.

For sure, most dont really know the lgas in ph and their boundaries.

When the Fulani's do like wise you complain right? but right here you're celebrating injustice! shame on you, all that is gonna change soon. its been going on for so long but its gonna change.

Most of their mothers where igbos,both ikwere and okrika.

No hate my man. We are stating facts here. If you are in PH, you can go to the judiciary and get the facts that were filed in the suit against the state govet. You will see the narratives about the traditional ownership of rainbow . Remembe you earlier stated that rainbow is in Amadiama. One of the things that will interest you is why it was named "Rainbow"

You see how ordinary use of English dey worry.

so much for 40% simply means 40% cannot achieve all this is it's actually 40%. this is actually a percentage of already 80 going by the political dominance.

all your housing developments are in sandfilled areas. what does that show you if not a lack of originality.

Ok

It wasn't really a collaboration between Ikwerres and Ijaws. Due to similarity in names and culture, the Okrikans(tho backed by all Ijaws) decided to play fast on Ikwerres by asking the FG to expel Ikwerres alongside Igbos from Phalga(then Obio-Akpor was still in Phalga). Their claim was that Ikwerre was Igbo, and should therefore suffer same fate as Igbos.

It wasn't easy for the FG as Ikwerres showed ancestral proof of land ownership. with the help of the FG, Okrikans and Ijaws in general coveted almost all the properties of Igbos in Port Harcourt township. and assumed total control of the waterside within and around those areas.


Okrikans in PH are all from Okrika and Ogu/Bolo LGA.. None is native to Phalga.

Well the point remains that they acted in similar manner because most of my grandparents houses were taken over by ikwerres now, especially the waterlines and diobu axis. Well u made some valuable points too, okrirkas where never part of phc.

See this one.. Who did the British pay money to and how much did they pay and for what purposes??

If Seun pays 24Seven N1million for land in Eliozu. And Donkalio signed, what does it mean?

In the year 1912. Harcourt Lewis, a British Business came for the purchase of a piece of land close to a shore (port) for the export of his goods,
He met chief. Oju Daniel Kalio. the then Amayanabo of okrika. Out of kalio's magnanimity, he involve the Diobu people, since they were living in peace and his goods will pass through ogbunabali/Diobu axis. The purchase of the land was 5pounds, it was handed over to kalio, and he gave lewis a receipt, stamped & signed by him alone. The diobu chiefs were given 2pounds, while kalio collected 3pounds with his chiefs.

The shore (port) is presently portharcourt NPA. solely own and control by the okrikans.

See how lies will make you say abominable things, that the ikwere chiefs cant speak, read & writhe. Tufiakwa!

Those political positions are only representing the 47% of PHALGA. Okrika represent the ikwere in the senatorial district.

Hahaha, see person, see claims.


When they wanted to flagoff the rehabilitated railway line from PH to Enugu, which Royal Highness came to flag It off. Was it Ikwerre or Okrika?


Guy, no one is saying Daniel Ok Kalio wasn't conspicuous in all that happened, but in what capacity was he there.

Money was paid to Ikwerre chiefs for land, he was only there as Witness/interpreter. He was a school teacher in Okrika and the British first landed in Okrika which was a notable port town as then but there was no land there for what the British wanted, besides Okrika was an island and cannot be easily linked with mainland Rivers.

they needed a port somewhere else and Oju Kalio took the British to Diobu to meet the Ikwerre chiefs. He interpreted betwen the British and Ikwerres and money was paid to Diobu Chiefs. He duly signed for Ikwerre chiefs because he was literate. The names of the areas are there for all to see. they are Ikwerre names. Okrika has held to the fact that he signed the agreement to claim it. A simple question is those names of the land areas on the documents are they Ikwerre names?

pls put this discuss to rest.

An Okrikans being a senator is strictly for political consideration. Ok check this, Walga, Ogu/Bolo, is the only two Okrika LGA in Rivers east, out of 8LGAs.. If not PDP political consideration, how can George Sekibo win. is 2 bigger than 6??

are you counting PHALGA, ETCHE and OMUMA to yourself?

gidgiddy:
[s]Very enlightening

Ikwerres call child "Nwo" as opposed to central Igbo that calls it "Nwa". They also call land "Eli" as opposed to "Ala" and "Rumu" as opposed to "Umu"

So the meaning of "Elioparanwo" becomes evident[/s]

What the meaning of this Ewu! How many times have you been warned to stop rushing to comment into every Rivers thread..
Stop creating a non-existent enemy for Ndigbo. You IPOB illiterates should be careful. IPOB fools. This is why reasonable Igbos have left the cyberspace for your likes, because you and the other idiot Kanu have succeeded in diverting from important issues.

I don’t know what to call this? If this is not pure ara what else. And for your information it is Ali which became Eli. You IPOB PR team should stop this nauseating ‘I must talk attitude’. Ndiuchu!

Donkalio:

Are u from Omuma or Etche?? Those guys are as good as Ikwerres. Ikwerre/Etche are same people. Used to be in same LGA so what's your point.

Ogu/Bolo is just a tiny LGA of three communities. Ogu main town, Bolo and Wakama. nothing else. so what's your deal?

Are you really this much of an ignoramus? When has comparing dialects become a way of making enemies? I compare dialects all the time from Wawa to Ngwa to Ohuhu to Diokpa, what is wrong in comparing dialectical differences? What has IPOB got to do with comparing Igboid languages?
