Dakuku Peterside have just emerged the Governorship flagbearer of the All Progressive Congress in Rivers state.
He is from ADONI OPOBO NKORO in River state. A small Igbo community.


Opobo/Nkoro


Opobo/Nkorois a Local Government Area in Rivers State, Nigeria. It is part of the Andoni/Opobo/nkoro constituency of the Nigerian National Assembly delegation from Rivers. The capital is Opobo Town.

The Opobo/Nkoro people are mainly farmers and fishermen.They are of Igbo extraction. They speak Igbo language mixed with pidgin and Igbani. Just like the neighbouring Bonny, founded by Ndokis of Azuogu, slaves from the hinterlan transformed the demography of the area when the Transatlantic Slave Trade was abolished. Ijaws who came in as porters also settled there and the Igbo language was adopted.

Although, there are no indigenous Ijaw communities there, most Ijaw migrants and porters have fully been integrated into the original indigenous Igbo communities.

Pro-Natura International Nigeria has been assisting in community-led development in the LGA.

Lol Dakuku Peterside is an Ijaw man .

Although Andoni/Opobo-Nkoro is an Igbo community

OP u dey mind dem TAN-oids gangsters? Awon oloshi ni won!

The original language of the Opobo people is Igbani, not Igbo.

Good development

@OP, is Dakuku and igbo name? For ur info d official language of d opobians is ibani and not igbani. Pls, leave history,Dakuku as gov of rivers state will be a great asset.

@op what are u trying to do. The said tribes are of the ibani extraction. They speak and understand your language because they married your sisters, that doesn't mean they are from your tribe. They are all Ijaw so stop this nonsense.

Even if my father emerged d flagbearer of APC in my state it will nt stop me from voting 4 GEJ come 2015

APC finally settled for a consensus candidate in Rivers State? Where is the internal democracy and rule of law that Amechi and his friends have always accused PDP of lacking?? When will Nigerians learn that these people are the same thing regardless of their political party
