ijawcitizen: It is nothing but insensitivity, jealousy and ingratitude. The Ijaw LGAs of Eastern Obolo & Ibeno have been feeding the state for decades now without benefiting up 1% of deserved development. Yet they still want the Ijaw people to remain in slavery as minorities to Ibibio people! This is the greed Niger deltans are yet to overcome. What is wrong with sticking to their God-given lands and allow Ijaws to do whatever they wish with our God-given lands and communities? This is unimaginable evil from our own Niger Delta brothers. Ijaws have been nothing but good brothers and even protectors to all Niger Deltans. The Ijaw nation is moving forward and there is nothing these ingrates who do not even represent the mindset of the average Akwa Ibomites can do about it

careytommy:
are you drunk?
for your info,there are no ijaws in akwa ibom

IGBOSON1:

^^^Bros, no forget say na Naija we dey.....the theatre of the absurd!

Naija is the only country where -in the name of oyel politics, and with the right 'incentives' and necessary 'support'- part of a state can wake up one morning and declare themselves to be Martians from outer space!

barcanista: hahahah and Andoni is what? Man yu are ridiculous. Though its not something to fight about.

HopeAtHand:

Landlocked or waterlogged, anyone you like, as much as ships find a way down to PH wharf, i dnt care.

BTW, wich state do you hail?

Malawian:
pls i want to know, the area where the PH Wharf is located, is it Ikwerre owned or Okirika owned?

onyeokwu: Ijaw with their expansionist and land grabbing tendency.. they should continue pushing till they got their hand burn

we are waiting and calculating to hit them at the appropriate time

we knew what they did in rivers... they cornered all the rich igboland we kept silence but now the went to far to do the same in ibibioland our best ally and they think we will keep quiet... this time they will loose everything and we will put them in their place and confine them only in bayelsa where they rightly belong

ijawcitizen: I'm really very disappointed in the comments from akwa Ibomites here esp ujoinme & utoroetti, i'm yet to get the opinion of ocelot2006. I'm Particularly disappointed that fellow niger deltans would oppose the progressive venture ijaw people have decided to undertake within ourselves. Ibibio have their own oil wells within their lands, ijaws don't envy your possession, why all these unnecessary envy, hate and envy on ijaw people on account of natural environment and resources? The Ignorance on ur path that you never knew Eastern Obolo &Ibeno were ijaws and not related to ibibio is truely appailing, some igbos here (esp paz ienza) brought up this argument sometime ago and i personally put them to shame, thats why its least expected of my akwa ibomites. i just can't imagine atlwireles or urhobos opposing ijaws who want out of delta state. i've also not heard of rivers igbos and ogonis accusing ijaw of "stealing their access to the sea". when did ibibio people acquire this negative bad belle igbo mindset?

ujoinme: ibeno and obolos are not ijaws. but they have ijaws resident in those areas, as ijaws reside in all riverine areas in Nigeria. ijaws also reside an fish in all the coastal towns and villages in Akwa ibom like the oro nation all the way to the river bounded communities of uruan and itu.

By the way eastern obolo and ibeno are not the only oil producing communities in Akwa Ibom. others include Eket, Esit Eket,oron, mbo, udung uko, onna etc. While the upland ibibios and parts of annang( oruk anam and ukanafun) are sitting ontop of one the largest gas deposit in Nigeria.
Akwa ibom is one and will remain one.

ujoinme:

You are ill informed go to your Ijaw elders and gain wisdom. You dont even understand the politics that going on but you are busy ranting.
because there are Ijaw settlers in Parts of Ibeno,eastern obolo, oron, mbo, itu etc areas of Akwa Ibom does not make those places or any part of Akwa Ibom Ijawland, Just like we have Ibibio and other Akwa Ibomites in Rivers, bayelsa etc It dosent make the places we have settled Ibibioland. everyone knows their homeland and boundaries but we all live in piece with one another.

ijawcitizen: We Ijaws are definitely not in a conflict with ibibios, you're just in conflict with yourself due to ur ignorance. i'd always respected you and admired ur comments but never knew you're such a chauvinist. i think you're the one who needs to see ur elders (me) for some education now read up

pazienza: By the way, Ikwerreland is landlocked. Unless you lots now want to annex Eleme. *grins*

pazienza:

You are the nutcase here. That Ph city as of today is no longer 100% Ikwerre is a known fact.

Btw, it wasn't me who included southern PH as part of oil rivers state, it was your Ijaw overlords, if you have a problem with that, take your anger to the Ijaw, not Pazienza. *grins*


You have only 4 LGAs and you feel like you stand a chance against the might of a combined Ijaw groups, haha!



Ijaws really don't need to fight over Ph, once they leave with the offshore oil allocations of Rivers state and the oil companies forced to relocate to their new state, your Ph will decay from lack of poor funds for maintenance, i don't see the people from Orashi agreeing to any arrangement that would siphon the proceeds from their onshore oil wells to Ikwerre City, when they have their own city in Omoku to build, the Etches have Omuma to build, Ndoki and Asa have Oyigbo to build, Ogonis have Bori to develop. The wind of true federalism is about blowing, the era when proceeds from oil wells from other people's lands were used to build Ikwerreland, while you mufus go about talking trash is about coming to an end.




What goes around comes around,enjoy while it lasts. When they leave with their petrodollars,your lazy bottoms would surely care. *grins*

ijawcitizen: You lots are highly ignorant people who would never learn. You claim eastern Obolo and Ibeno are you Ibibio relatives and accuse us (Ijaws) of expansionist tendencies. I don't blame you lot a bit, its all because of the quietness and peaceful disposition of the Ijaws whom you've oppressed for so long and even started killing. I wish I could say more but be rest assured that Oil Rivers state will be created and the 2 Ijaw LGAs in Akwa ibom must be part of it. You better update ur knowledge of you so called Ibibio territory because these Ijaws are not ur properties nor ur slaves. Updating ur imperial anti-ibeno stance would help you from developing high BP when Oil Rivers is created. and the worst you guys could do is imitate shekau to terrorize Ibeno and Obolo ijaws, something you started doing since during the civil war and ofcourse nobody knew about it because Ijaws have not retaliated yet.

barcanista: I read and laugh at the comments of some dudes that think they have the exclusive right to decide for the people of Ibeno and co. The plaNned Oil Rivers state shouldn't cause this unnecessary bikering btw the Great Ijaw Nation and our Akwa Ibom neighbours. The proposed state is an exclusive btw the concerned communitiies and not an expansionist agenda. Well done Ijawcitizen and kel4soft....
