THIS IS AN IRRELEVANT THREAD.

NIGERIANS LOVE TO PREOCCUPY THEMSELVES WITH IRRELEVANCE.


Y SHOULD AMEAVHI BE ASKED IF HE IS IGBO?


IN MY OPINION HE GAVE THEM THE RIGHT ANSWER AND IN ALL HONESTY IF I WERE TO BE AMAECHI, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WILL SAY.


AT THE END, HE STILL CONCLUDED WITH WHETHER I'M IGBO OR IKWERRE IS NOT THE MATTER.


GOOD ANSWER!

Factcheck0001:
Hope these people are beginning to put their emotions in check, if not people will just b using them.


Once u want to b in their good book, just start insulting tinubu n u will become their hero overnight


Who would have imagined that el rufai they labelled the devil just few years ago will suddenly become their hero today cos he's against tinubu?


Even if u want to grow your page on twitter, just b insulting tinubu everyday
Where did Igbos claim El rufai as hero? Just in your delusional grandeur

Amaechi is clearly an Igbo name.I read Elechi Amadi's The Concubine and the culture and tradition described there is obviously Igbo culture, all the gods mentioned are Igbo gods.However,I am of the belief that if a man proclaims he is not Igbo,we should accept and respect his wishes.


HE HAS ALREADY EXPLAINED THIS.

Rotimi's political career died the day he helped bring the calamitous party into power. Whether he says he is igbo or not does not add to his political relevance. The igboes warned him that he will face the consequences soonest. Even when he was rumoured to be Buhari's choice for presidency, nobody cared even as he claimed to be igbo. The igboes celebrated widely when both him and el rufai were disgraced by the ruling party. So Wats the noise about whether he believes he is igbo or not.
The reverse is the case here cos he got no favours from igboes throughout the period he claimed to be igbo.

How can you believe someone bearing "Rotimi" is Igbo in the first place?! undecided

If you want to get anything from Nigeria, just insult igbos or deny them bluntly. Igbo is not part of Nigeria so you must deny them like Peter denied Jesus.

Imagine Chibuike saying he is not igbo... Lol

Can you tell me a little more about the bolded?
Because that's where I did my NYSC and they speak Igbo generally - It's even in some Izzi communities that some of their uneducated indigenes can't speak Igbo fluently
And their Igbo sounds like the traditional Igbo language?
An typical Igboman will even find their language difficult to understand but they are parts and parcel of Igboland but they themselves understand and can speak the central Igbo well too.
They were caved from old Imo state and later from Abia state and pair with the IZZI and the EZZAs to form the present day Ebonyi State

I am really Afraid for Amaechi , he could have used to oji uzo method , lets see how far he will go. Nigeria really has an igbo complex.
Hellisreal70: 6:22pm On Jun 04
Small time now he will say he is yoruba man ROTIMI for political reasons

How an unimportant thing like this got to 5 pages is just incredible. Wether Amaechi is Japanese pr French is not going to add any value to anyone

The Igbo nation already has more than enough population than it needs

Some times we make unguided statement, I doubt if he said so, let us look at it fundamentally , ozuzu etche in river state is the custodian of central Igbo diety called amadioha, ikwerre enthrone and worship amadioha, Ani, chi, ikenga and by language classified as igboid, denying ur ancestry for political reason is madness, ikwerre didn't come from Igbo, ikwerre is Igbo, you will continue making fool of yourself , the claim of Benin origin is false, because ikwerre is 3 times bigger than benin, u can't migrate as an individual from a kingdom and less than 5 00 years u outnumber d kingdom, ur cultural heritage, and everything about u is Igbo, ur claim women changed ur language is an insult to ur culture

Trust me , this will trend for sometime.

Anything to trigger igbo disunity or igbo denial will sell like a hot cake in Nigeria , someone once said that if you want to get sympathy from certain sections of the country , you have to exhibit enough anti igbo sentiment and rhetorics to get recognition from APC and certain parts of the country , Reno Omokiri is using this, Nyesom Wike is using this , sunday Oliseh once used this and it failed , i am not sure Sabinus tried it

Igbos, have you seen how the others like it when igbos deny their identity, the enemies love it. Now, what oga amaechi said was that he had to forefront his igboness, to kinda let others know that the igbos are not divided, and that if one igbo clan is in trouble, all igbos are in trouble. If one igbo clan is successful, every one will and spread the progress.


Just look at how excited these igbo haters get whrn they think or see any form of igbo division. even though, amaechi didn't say what they're thinking. This news go charge all their sexual genitals, and if you mark today and 9 months later, they will experience new born babies, all because of this kind of news.


Igbos, in summary, these people live to make sure the igbos are caged slaves and are systematically eliminated, and also economically strangulated. So, can you imagine their anger, to know that the people they have tried to, and constantly try to eliminate, oppress, and suppress, are the majority tribe, the most thriving, the vast populace, etc.

Oh, you still wonder why the post had traffic? Just mention IGBO, and leave the rest to take care of themselves 😁

Nkwerre are never ever igbos. There behavior is quite opposite to igbos. Just like words and opposite

If you want these people to like you, just hate what they hate and what they . They’ll instantly turn you into a sudden human rights activist and a messiah — not realizing they’re simply being used to build . I wonder how much longer they’ll keep living in political oblivion and darkness.

I am a lifelong Chelsea er and U that has been ing arsenal all Ur life suddenly started ing Chelsea. Both of us now started attacking arsenal fans. Then according to your biased reasoning, U are using me to build . for what exactly? If it is now that he said he is igbo, then U for make small sense, but he said he isn't igbo. Ur name suppose be wisdom sha. I know say even u no understand wetin U write. Na just for writing sake

An Ikwerre man is PG of Ohanaeze. Ikwerre is a subgroup of Igbo.
Ikwerre are not a subgroup of Igbo

That is false

The Ikwerre went to the Willinks Commission before independence in 1960 to canvass for delineation along other minorities in the Eastern Region
The Ikwerre founded Ogbakor Ikwerre long before Ohanaeze
Which other Igbo subgroup did so

The Ikwerre commissioned their own bible rejecting the Igbo bible

Putindbutt:






Una go explain tire, we told una say he was only being political but una dey argue. Ameachi has said it several times before that he's Ikwerre and not ibo. The fact that he suddenly identified with ibos during the election period was purely political just to spite Wike. You emotional being will keep learning.

And how has all these brouhaha helped NIgeria economy if Amaechi's being Igbo or not matters. Mr lecturer.
Metrofox(m): 6:52pm On Jun 04
grin I think amaechi is done completely politically not sure why he's still testing the waters. I think he got the best deal ever in his safety when he conspired to kick out GEJ out of desperation and we all understand because it would have been a disaster for him if gej returned.
Someone should tell him to pack it up and not push his luck

They claim we are dot or irrelevant in votes.
Then they here coalition with SE .They are bringing all kind of irrelevant news to see if they can create disunity btw SE and SS.They forget that we have more in common with SS than unnecessary things dividing us.
The desperation for SW president in 2027 will make them do anything. They now know SS because not has abandoned them.
They will learn the hard way in 2027.

richie240: 7:23pm On Jun 04
None of them is to be taken seruous.
They switch sides at the tip of a hat.
If it favors him, the average igbó will drum it into your hears that "se and ss are one"; but if it doesn't favor him, eg when you remind him of chukwuma nzeogwu - the 1966 coupist, he'll immediately tell you that ''se is not the same as ss".

Just let them be receiving themselves.
cool
ERockson:
Lol. I have never heard Amaechi spoke the truth. He lies a lot. You're not serious if you take Amaechi serious.
