And how did the Ikwerre man became a native of PHALGA? i presume he fell from heaven to PHALGA. go to school, you will not go to school, now look at what you are saying.

The dude is right. Ikwerre owned those lands. The landless Okrikans were brainwashed by the Izons from now Bayelsa. The present place inhabited by the Okrikans in PHALGA (Used to be an extension of Diobu lands) and was where migrants from Igbo hinterlands lived before the civil war. All the lands the Okrika claim to own are abandoned properties. The Ikwerre grabbed properties too but the Izons were the instigators of that move.

When Ikwerres were signing the agreement, there was nothing like Okrika towns in PH.. that is the Crux of the matter. you guys are a recent development.

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?

by population and land mass in PHALGA, the okrikans are more than the ikwerres.

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

Exactly! I believe a day shall come when that wickedness is reviewed.

lastempero:


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.

The Ijaws were divided in that fight. Some fought for Biafra and some for the Nigerian army. But when the federal side took over PH those who were Pro federal were backed by the government to destroy their brothers who supported Biafra. It was this group that carried out the nonsense in PHC.

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?

If you have nothing better to do then go and sleep

Stupidity is when you jump into every Rivers topic to showcase your shallowness. And who told you we don’t know the similarities? Did anyone ask for your input, busy body.
IPOB speak for Biafrans and we are not Biafrans. We need another group that understands what they are fighting for and not a group of clowns.
A group that would make their fight an Igbo affair, a group with diplomacy and tact.

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.

You're engaging in a shallow arguement.
Is Old Gra sandfilled?
is Odilli road sandfilled?
is trans amadi sandfilled?
is rainbow sandfilled?
is abuloma sandfilled?
Yes some okrika owned areas are being sandfilled, it because of the limited availability of land.
The land on our part of port harcourt isn't continous as is it in the obio akpor areas.

Diobu is the typical abandoned properties you have been hearing about.
when the Fed Gov. wanted to create Rivers state, they talked about abandoned properties when siting the state capital, the okrikans told the Fed Gov. that the Diobu axis are the abandoned properties, so, the Okrikans lead the Fed Gov. to the present state government house, secretariat and old GRA. The land was handed over to Gowon, the then head of state, by the Okrika chiefs to establish the state government house.

Ikwerre have no business here.

Whose name & signature is on the receipt given to Harcourt Lewis a british man in possession of the port where he does his business? I believe you dnt know.

You see how your lies have caught up with you? Where is the fake receipt Lewis Harcourt is in possession of? Lewis Harcourt never signed any fraudulent receipt and Mr Kalio was an interpreter for the British and was never any Amanayabo of Okrika.

For your information, Lewis Harcourt never signed anything with anyone. In fact he never stepped foot in Nigeria. Sir Lewis Harcourt was the British Secretary of Foreign Affair and was based in London as at that time. The Royal Niger Company were the administrators of the southern protectorate before 1914 and it was them that signed the agreements.

Port Harcourt was only named after Lewis Harcourt in honor of his commitment to that Railway by the Royal Niger Company. Port Harcourt is Diobu land and the evidence are there. The Okrika currently living in P/H are land grabbers who migrated from their small Island into Diobu.

Both Okrika and Ikwerre were accomplice in the abandoned property. Oil politics from the fall out of the defeat of the Biafran forces helped to achieve this.

1. The Izons from current Bayelsa instigated the push for abandoned property. (The federal forces stoked the fire)

2. The Okrika who were an hybrid of Ijaw/Igbo played smart and claimed ethnic Ijaw to fit into the identity of old Rivers politics.

3. The Okrika met Gowon and accused the Ikwerre of siding with the Igbos and ask (Gowon) to declare not just the lands owned by the migrant hinterlanders but the whole of Diobu land as abandoned property.

3. The Ikwerre were stunned by this act and quickly denied kinship with the hinterland Igbos in order to retain their lands and inheritance.

4. To prove themselves worthy, they had to openly claim Ikwerre as an ethnic group and migration from Bini. And went further to change their names and towns to sound non-Igbo.

5. The federal government in a bid to retain control of the oil city rewarded the Okrika with the abandoned properties in Diobu land and the leadership of PHC to the Ijaws (headed by those in Bayelsa)

6. The Izons who became the new Sheriff of the manor did all to change the city narratives from Igbo owned to Ijaw owned. All the tribes who were domiciled in the riverrine areas were declared as ethnic Ijaws and those who still had affiliation with the Igbos in the uplands were given new ethnic identity.

This was how the script played out.

pazienza:


Has Ndiigbo ever grabbed a non Igbo land before.
I remember how you claimed 5years ago that Ndigbo renamed Calabar to new Onitsha during Biafra era. I asked for evidence, you had none.
I thought you repented all these times, too bad a leopard can't change its spots.

The failure of Biafra did more bad to minorities than it did to Ndiigbo. Ogoni land lie in desolation with no clean up in sight, while all her oil money were siphoned to distant lands of Lagos and Abuja by Arewa/Yoruba alliance. Crude oil is about becoming worthless in next two decades, what would be the fate of Ogoniland then?

In Biafra, PH which Eleme is part of would have looked better than Abuja.

But who am I to question your shortsightness. This is why I have decided that Biafra 2.0 must be an Igbo (Igbo bu Igbo and not Igbo bu Bini) republic.

Ndewo

Supported. We need only igbo republic.
Ikwerre shouldn't join this new Biafra.
We need productive igbo clans with same mindset.
Ndoki, Ndoni, etche, omuma, egbema, ogba and Anioma with present South east states are perfect.

God bless igbo nation.

ITbomb:

This, I believe settles our differences

If we want to be Biafra, we will negotiate the union. NOT BY FORCE OR FIAT

Nobody is negotiating with you. We want only igbo republic. You are free to form whatever country you so wish and we can trade freely when the time comes.

Well at least that 'illiterate' wants the independence of his people so that they can be in control of their, lands, resources and destiny

The rest of you are fighting to be the eternal slaves of the caliphate of Sokoto. I would rather go with an illiterate who is fighting for his freedom than go with an educated dunce who is only fighting to remain a slave

gidgiddy:
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

All these craps of Rumu and Nwo came after Nigeria/Biafra civil war. I used to go to Eke Elelenwa to buy sugar cane when I was a kid via train

This is laughable. Original owners indeed.

Ikwerres are the descendants of a 17th century Bini monarch. Avoid stirring the honest nest where there is non.

I did not notice any name remotely Benin even to the standard of revisionist such as you. You can help point out any name with Benin connection.
