Igboid:


They can call their organization whatever they want.
That's none of our business.

Can you for once focus on main issue and leave sidenotes?

U CLAIM THEY ARE NOT IGBO BUT THE ORGANISATION IS DESCRIBED WITH TWO IGBO WORDS.

WE CANNOT ALL BE INSANE NOW.

Igboid:


This your behavior is annoying.
The man is right. Ikwerre And Amaechi are not Igbos.
If they are, let Ogbakor Ikwerre issue a public communique on that.
Thank you BRACED for helping genuine Igbos fix the con man Amaechi in his place.

Only mentally slow Igbos call Amaechi and Ikwerre Igbo.

Igboid:


They are comfortable in Nigeria. Let them be! They didn't ask for you to save them.
Save yourself if you don't feel comfortable in Nigeria, let those who are comfortable in it be.
Chai! What sort of brain damage is this?

IPOB has finished Igbo youths.

Dont speak for them, let them speak for themselves, via referendum. If anybody feels that people are being dragged into the concept of Biafra, let them start by addressing how we were all dragged into the concept of Nigeria without referendum

I dont know how people who were made "Nigerians" without permission can be questioning IPOB who wants to make people "Biafrans" via the permission of a referendum

Igboid:


To have a referendum in a location.
You have to have a significant percentage of the indigenous populace calling for it.

As it stands, at least 90% if not more SS minorities are not calling for referendum.
All they want is Resource control and restructuring.
You have no right to call for referendum in their region for them.

I would think this should be common sense.
But I am currently noticing a common trend among Igbo youths who listen to RB.
They are all incapable of rational thought process and analysis.
It's an alarming situation.

And which 90% called for the creation of Nigeria in 1914?

OfoIgbo:


Igboid, what part of what I wrote showcases Igbos as weak? Please completely read my write-ups before replying to them to avoid confusion.

But first go and check out my signature, for a bit of information that you can use in the future, against our traducers

I read you post.
Even your signature.
Believe me, I'm a history lover too. There is hardly any colonial document on Igbo and Igboid groups and our neighbors that I have not read, including the one you posted.

But all those are in the past. The future belongs to those who work in the present and not those living in the past.
Eastern region, Ikwerre as proud Igbos, Ika as Igbos, Ukwuani as Igbos, were all irrefutable truths in the past. We all know that. There are hundreds of historical documentation to such.
But all those are in the past. We can't continue living in the past.

The present now is that Ikwerre is Bini and rapidly Igbophobic, even more Igbophobic than Yorubas some of you want to malign always or even the Ijaws you all blame for Ikwerre Igbophobic actions.
This is the present we have to deal with.

Can you and IPOB accept this present? Because ultimately every Igbo man MUST accept this present, because until we do, we will not be able to offer solutions that would enable us triumph over this present and ensure a brighter future for Ndiigbo.

IPOB and all affiliated to it are living in the past, they are all deluded and they are all causing great harm to Ndiigbo by insisting on living in the past and not getting on with the present situation.

I need you to accept the present, so that together we all can move Ndiigbo forward, can't you see that only the dynamic survives in nature?

OfoIgbo:


I'm pretty sure I have made it clear several times, that Nnamdi Kanu's not my leader. While I accept the fact that he is a fellow Igbo man, and whereas I also accept the fact that he is doing his own best to help out. But he lacks the intellectual sagacity to claim to be my SUPREME LEADER, and his plans are usually not well thought out.

There is nothing that Ikwerre has that Igbos don't already have. In fact, we have more. Because Igboland can easily blockade PH from Bonny. But Ikwerres cannot blockade us in Obuaku, because Opobo is way more of an Igbo territory than an Ikwerre territory.
They can't do inyanga for us regarding oil. Igboland has way more oil than Ikwerreland
They can't do inyanga for us regarding gas. Igboland has more gas than any other ethnic group in Nigeria, by far,
They are no where compared with Igboland in terms of human resources. For every meaningful personality in Ikwerreland, Igboland can present 50.

So any any negative energy being bred by Ikwerre will hurt Ikwerres heavily, but won't have even a little scratch on the Igbos, as we can easily by-pass them, and have their territory, majorly surrounded.

You are totally Irredeemable.

You move from here and swing to another unrealistic issue.

No wonder I guys really achieve anything because you lots dream a lot.

IkwerrePikin:


Igbo girl go sleep.

Even 7yrs old ikwerre child will immediately attack you if you call him igbo.

Stop fooling yourself

Your opinion that's what it is yours alone

kingzizzy:


We were all dragged into Nigeria. The Biafrans are even better than Nigerians because they want Biafra to come by who votes to join, in a referendum. I dont know how a Nigerian, who had no say in how he became a Nigerian, will be criticising the Biafran who wants everyone to have a say on how they become Biafrans, through referendum.

Did they ask you to help them agitate for referendum.


Igbos are eternally useless

kingzizzy:


And which 90% called for the creation of Nigeria in 1914?

How exactly does this question change the fact that majority of minorities want no referendum in their region?

Are you trying to make yourself a Luggard and British who now decide for people where to belong?

Can you not see how empty your argument is?

Irrespective of how these people became Nigerians, they are now comfortable and happy with that tag and have not given you the mandate to give them another tag.
You are playing Luggard (the same luggard you malign ) by trying to force referendum or your Biafra down their throat.
They have rejected your Biafra. Show self dignity for crying out loud, move on! Are you this brain dead? What are you up-to when you keep forcing things on a people that have repeatedly rejected it? Stop making enemies for Ndiigbo. Stop clowning around already.

proeast:


And where won't you find Igbos? How many Ikwerre do you want to find in Igboland when you guys are just a minute minority? How many Ikwerres can you find in Abuja, Lagos or even outside Nigeria??

The fact is that you guys are an irrelevant, inconsequential and minute minority group that nobody knows about. Deal with it!!

Uchasa
I was telling you this but you refused to listen
Now even your Igbo cousins have confirmed it
Nigeria is Igbo, hausa/fulani, Yoruba,ijaw,kanuri,ibibio/Efik, tiv then other groups follow

Most of this guy in SS for whatever reasons are not comfortable with Igbo tag.

Assume that I am a father to a son, who one day comes into my living quarters with a gun to shoot me, I will defend myself regardless of the fact that I am his father, just the same way I will defend myself if I wasn't his father.
But it is also important that you base your decision-making on experience(past) and current reality(present).

That being the case, I have since accepted the reality on ground, and adjusted accordingly. I am not the fly that will follow the corpse into the grave. According to me, if Ikwerre wishes to hang with our traducers, then they should expect total lack of brotherliness from us.

It will even be unfair to totally blame the Ijaws or Bini people for the Ikwerre foolishness, afterall it's the Ikwerres that made themselves a willing tool in the hands of these people, for mind control

Ikwerre are not igbos! As an igbo man, I will never see them as igbos. I don't trust them and I never will. Nnamdi Kanu is becoming a nuisance with this topic.

Igboid:


Ndiigbo are all over the world.
Even in the small island of Simao and in remote parts of Mozambique.

We are everywhere because we have the numbers to do so and the world belongs to those ready to leave comfort zones.

My friend your biafra is nothing to write about that is why you people end up being migrants all over the world which shows you are no difference from Fulani.

The only difference between fulani and igbo is the type of business they do. Claiming other peoples land.

This a very simple to understand. We are all in a Nigeria that nobody agitated for, nobody consented to join and nobody was asked through plebiscite or referendum if they wanted to be part of in the first place. So anyone coming from the point of Nigeria is coming a point of inferiority. The Biafrans(IPOB), on the other hand, are coming from a position of superiority because they are agitating for Biafra, both in the SE and SS, and they want that Biafra to be created for only those who give their consent via a referendum.

So as a Nigerian who is coming from a position of inferiority of an imposed country, you have no basis to argue with IPOB who are coming from the superior position of a Biafra created by democratic referendum

If Nigerians feel that IPOB is dragging some areas into a referendum they never asked for, then Nigerians should agree to immediate dissolution of Nigeria that we were all dragged into with anyones consent. If Nigeria is dissolved, then we can start talking about who wants to drag who into what

But to come from the position of an imposed country to question those who want a country created democratically is a non-starter.

The bold is my stance. It should have started long ago. Starting with expulsion of all parasitic Ikwerre persons in Ohanaeze Ndiigbo and all Igbo organizations outside Igboland.
And then open hostility to counter their hate towards us instituted.

But IPOB with their senseless Igweocha propaganda and Ohanaeze Ndiigbo who are going senile from age, are getting on the way of getting this project on track.

At least you are now getting my point.

The Igbo need a better leadership, Ohanaeze and IPOB are failed organizations who have bitter Igbophobes as members.
They can't even identify Igbo interests let alone defending them.

proeast:


And where won't you find Igbos? How many Ikwerre do you want to find in Igboland when you guys are just a minute minority? How many Ikwerres can you find in Abuja, Lagos or even outside Nigeria??

You igbos mentality is so backward

What do you understand by irrelevant?

You leave your backward biafra to become migrants in other people’s land and you called that relevant?? You’re parasites and not relevant.

We Ikwerre people are happy with our land, we prosper here, we don’t need igbo or any one to succeed.

This is a general lifestyle of the Niger delta people that is why we rejected biafra and will continue to reject you migrants because we are happy living by ourselves and we do not need migrants to succeed.

Successful people are usually adventurous.

Lazy people stay at home in squalor looking for lands to sell, cults to join, rents to collect, oil companies to invade and demand for settlement.
I have been to interiors of Emohua, it's a poor area.
Yet you all stay back home killing each other in the name of cultism. If you must be violent or commit crimes, at least monetize it.

That has always been my way of seeing things, and was not influenced by anybody.

However, I am open to forgiveness, if they're to mend their ways and rejoin the greater Igbo family. But this must be an overwhelming action, rather than one or two people, making a statement, just like Amaechi and Okwukwu are doing.
It has to be an overwhelming turnaround by all Ikwerres, possibly championed by their apex organisations, most especially OGBAKOR IKWERRE.

Okwukwu claims Igbo yet his Elele town development union are members Of ogbakor Ikwerre.
It's not us he should be telling he is Igbo. He should take up his case to his Umunna. If he loses, he should accept his non Igbo status.

This is a very simple issue. But emotional Igbos are making it look complex than it is.

Crime is everywhere

Chinese move out because they want to explore

But you igbos move because your land is nothing to write about.

China have developed china before moving out to explore, how have you igbos developed your land?

Red mud land beautiful? Is it Aba or Onitsha?

You’re migrants

Igboland is surely more developed than Ikwerre land.

Ikwerre cannot boast of a single city.
PH is a shared City between Ikwerre and Okrika.

What other big Urban centre exist throughout Ikwerreland ?

None!

Despite our adventure nature. Igboland remain the area with biggest population density after Lagos in Nigeria. Showing you that many of us are still in Igboland because it's a land filled with opportunities too.

Amaechi said Prof Dike confirmed that Igbos came as slaves and migrants to Delta and had the largest population...


In the words of Dr. W B Baikie, who interviewed King William Dappa Pepple of Bonny in Fernando Po in 1854, “the King of New Calabar [Kalabari] and Pepple King of Bonny were of Ibo descent, of which also are the mass of the natives.” The influx of Igbo migrants and slaves into the Delta in the 19th century blurred the lines of earlier migrations and even though there were migrants and slaves from different places including Benis, Efik, Fulani’s etc but the Ibo migrants formed the bulk of the Delta population at that time. Prof Dike noted; that “they bequeathed their language to most of the city-states, Bonny, Okirika, Opobo and to a certain extent, influenced the language and institutions of old and new Calabar. But the population which evolved out of this mingling of peoples, was neither Benin nor Efik, Ibo nor Ibibio. They were a people apart, the product of the clashing cultures of the tribal hinterland and of the Atlantic community to both of which they belonged.” Let me place on record here that a lot of people from the areas described do not accept Igbo ancestry and that should be understood as part of what Isichei, as earlier mentioned, described as ‘constantly mutable reality’.

Lol, hardworking and prosperous can't be on the same sentence with Ikwerre. Igbos are hardworking, adventurous and prosperous, and that's why we are everywhere, making money and sending remmitances home. Sure, we are relevant and that's why Nigerians depend on Igbos in many areas of the economy, but same cannot be said of Ikwerre. You are insignificant and irrelevant in numbers and every other aspect, and to worsen it, you guys are naturally lazy. Even in P.H we run the show and own the oil servicing companies as well as big businesses while your people are only after selling lands and collecting levies from petty traders

Who even wants you in Biafra to start with? Is there anything you can offer Biafra that we don't have already? The answer is a capital NO!!

Lastly, it sulks to be minute minority, knowing that there is a glass ceiling you can never go beyond. Amaechi has suddenly realized that belonging to an irrelevant, inconsequential and unknown group like Ikwerre ethnic nationality will get him no where and that is why he is now claiming to be Igbo, but it's too late, he should join you guys and demand for Ikwerre presidency since we are mates

Prof Dike said Igbos are not indigenous to Delta.
Igbos were slaves and migrants that had a large population.

Naturally this is how we should react and communicate with Ikwerres.
Speaking to them bluntly with no emotional attachments of non existent kinship.

Good one!

IPOBIANS, take note! There should be no difference between how Ndiigbo relate with Yorubas to how we should relate with Ikwerres. Ikwerres are worst than Yorubas as far as Igbophobia is concerned. The evil the Ikwerres harbor in their mind towards Ndiigbo, not even Awolowo or any Yoruba man in history have harbored such. Yet somehow, some Igbos are too blind to this.
I keep saying, I would Better call a Yoruba a brother or vote for Tinubu, than call an Ikwerre a brother or support an Ikwerre man like Wike or Amaechi.

Ikwerres are opportunists. Naturally, we should be suing the Ikwerre opportunist called Ramaechi Rotimi and the likes of Okwukwu for trying to impersonate Igbos.
But we lack the leadership to pull in One Direction. But we will eventually get there.

Igboid:

It's not us he should be telling he is Igbo. He should take up his case to his Umunna. If he loses, he should accept his non Igbo status.

This is a very simple issue. But emotional Igbos are making it look complex than it is.

Of course, I know what I am proposing is near impossible, if not impossible.
But if they will ever want to be identified with Igbos again, that is what they will have to do. It is easy to destroy but more difficult to rebuild.

That is the eye of the needle that they will have to go through, to be accepted again.

You know how the world is. Today Igbos are the second-class citizens in Nigeria. Tomorrow they may be the first-class citizens. That is when they may start making moves to rejoin, but they will have to go through that process, otherwise they should be satisfied being a separate ethnic group.
