I seriously doubt your capacity to comprehend.

Do not be duluded, Kalabaris do not own anything in Ikwerreland.If it was good for Igbos, it is good for any other tribe..get d drift.

If Kalabaris are comfortable developing Ikwerreland for us, good for them..but in our local govts be sure to expect us to make laws that will only favour us and get ready to pay the backlog of levies, permits and taxes You guys and every other settler in Ikwerreland didnt pay as a result of Amaechi foolishness once Nyesom Wike is declared Governor of R/State.

You are an Igbo man who does not even know Rivers state.. Go to Rumuoluemeni and see who owns things there.. Perhaps the Obio Akpor you know are the New areas at the Northern side. Mind you Rumuolumeni is called IWO FE and Iwo fe is a KALABARI word. You better find out the history before you make more noise... Every Kalabari Family owns land and property in Ikwere land but NO one single Ikwere can own anything in any KALABARI land. That is how they are doing it so open your eyes...

Since you own the land in Rumuolumeni, be prepared to carry it along with you when they create your Oil Rivers State.

Rivers state is made up of different ethnicities d ijaws used to be d majority but after d creation of Bayelsa state things have changed as d Ijaw majority now have a state of there own, ryt now in ph the igboid groups like ikwerre, etche, Oyigbo combined might be d majority but they re only seconded by the Ijaws from which I think Kalabari makes up a bulk, also as for opobo as oboloman said they having a king with an igbo origin doesn't mk dem igbo though there re some igbo elements in der culture they re ijaw... also from that link I think Dakuku only said opobo is ijaw based on campaign strategies, though he might be based on d fact that opobo nkoro is igbo from my research ... one other thing Mr shota u can say ph is Ijaw land, u can even say Obio akpor is ijaw land but when they want to create d proposed oil rivers state u ppl wud ve shown where your boundary stops, till then peace.

Nkoro is a much more older community than Opobo. I don't know what you are asking about Opobo Nkoro.. It is an Lga and about the smallest LGA in Rivers state and one of the Ijaw Lgas.

You tried but not correct.. The Majority people in Rivers state remains Ijaw tribe.. You are deceived by the presence of Igbos in Ikwere villages to mean Ikwere population.. Do not forget almost 80% of the Rivers Ijaws are in Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor. . I wonder how Oyigbo even became a major town cos Obiigbo was a Yam market and there were no natives. Gradually the Ngwa Igbos crossed from Igbo land to settle there and the Ndoki area in the name of One Nigeria. The Igbos claim right in Rivers when they can not claim such right in Lagos and Kano..

Opobo is purely an Ijaw Lga . They speaking Igbo do not make them Igbo and Nkoro is one of the oldest Ijaw communities in that area although it is considerably small.. Ijaw Lgas of present day Rivers are.. Degema, Asalga, Akulga, Bonny, Okrika, Opobo Nkoro, Ogu Bolo, majority of Western Ahoada, Majority of Abua Odual..... Ikwere Lgas are Emohua, Ikwere, Etche and Umuma.... Oyigbo is considered Igbo.... Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor are not Ikwere LGS. they are cosmopolitan and population there is a mix of all Nigerians..Reason why Ikwere guys take the lead in Obio Akpor is because the Igbos favor them and most times, the Ijaws just prefer not being involved in the politics of Obio Akpor.

Proposed Oil Rivers state is going to cut Port Harcourt with the Okrika part in Oil Rivers state. But the Okrikas want to remain in Rivers state instead. so WHERE EVER OKRIKA goes is where Old Port Harcourt is going..

Obio akpor if u say it's not an Ikwerre local govt, pls tell me if obi or akpor is an ijaw word, even if Obio akpor is not completely ikwerre majority is ikwerre. also d part u said abt port Harcourt not being ikwerre is false, ph is made up of ikwerre and Okrika, but ikwerre territories make up most of ph while d minority part is Okrika. also u know igbos cannot claim right in Lagos and Kano just as u ijaws cannot claim right der because there re no indigenous igbos in any of doz states... ma guy Rivers igbos re more than u think, I don't hv much info abt d riverine area coz am more based up land and I haven't crossed any river b4 to the other side, though one of dz daiz I wud like to visit dz opobo nkoro, to study them.

The colonial masters that ruled and built Port Harcourt ruled the Ijaws and there were no Ikweres even near to Port Harcourt.. Diobu was built by the same Europeans as residential quarters for workers who worked at the Harbour and rail way terminal and 90% of the workers were Igbos.. All the Rumus of Obio Akpor were originally called Umu.. Hence Umumasi and never Rumumasi, Umubekwe and never Rumubekwe. They were all farmlands claimed by the Igbo residents.. Ikwere villages were Choba, Eneka, Elele, Ibaa, Emohua, Isiokpo and they were not called Rumu.. Kalabari people were the main traders with the Ikweres and the main markets were Ogbogolo, Ibaa and Emohua.. Rumuolumeni was a KALABARI town called IWOFE.. The word Iwofe is still used today... The first inter clan war that happened over te ownership of Port Harcourt was between KALABARI and Okrika .. Ikweres were not even near Port Harcourt then...Till 1999, the secodary schools in PH such as ENITONA, baptist, holy rosary, stella maris, comprehensive Were all mainly KALABARI, OKRIKA and Ibani with few Ogoni schools .. Ikwere people schooled at County grammar school , st Aquinas Elele and Akpor national Ozuoba. I attended Comprehensive Borikiri and it was called COMPRE OBOKO.. Oboko is a KALABARI word...At that time all these places called OBIO AKPOR today were forest, WOJI was a forest and called man must wack..Kalabari people especially wanted to make their land only for themselves was why they never allowed the development of Port Harcourt spread to their land like BAKANA and Tombia where there are large land mass leading to the ocean.

I don't know why non Rivers people always argue with Rivers people over Rivers things and Issues.... Today development is getting deeper and deeper in to Ikwere land and soon even Isiokpo would be called Port Harcourt just as Igwuruta and Omagwa are called Port Harcourt now.. Very soon even emohua would be called Port harcourt and then the non Rivers people at that time to come would argue that Isiokpo and Emohua are Port HARCOURT..

You are beginning to sound stupid I am sorry to say. You do not understand English.Obio Akpor was a forest.. Federal govt college Rumuokoro was at Rumuola and the Rumuokoro forest was cleared to built the school. There were no natives there but just a farm land called UMUOKORO which means belonging to the family of Okoro.. All the Rumu you see in Obi Akpor were UMU and owned by Igbo farmers and never Ikweres... You see how they changed OBI IGBO to Oyi igbo / It is cos the place was a market where Igbos traded and it was not a town. Go there even at this time and ask for a cemetary where dead Igbos were burried and see that even as at the 1970s, the place was still a market and not a town. Obi akpor was named after AKPOR clan of the Ikweres and the Obio clans . The Obio people are a very small group and they are the ORO Ikweres who owned REBISI.. Their main town is Orogbum and Ogbunabali.... AMADI AMA is an Okrika land owned by the Okrika man called AMADI.. he was named AMADI by his Igbo trading partners and all around AMADI AMA to ABULOMA are Okrika towns.... I do not know how else to explain this..yOU SEE THAT there are little or no Ikwere people in TOWN of Port Harcourt.. TOWN is the main Port HARCOURT built by the English...

There are so many Igbos that claim Ikwere and we know that.. Any aggressive person that claims Ikwere who claims to be native of any Rumu village is actually an Igbo man.

The Yorubas or Lagos migrated to Lagos from OYO empire and they are not natives.. When you study the history of Isale Eko you ll know how and why Edo ruled it.. Lagos is the only Western town that has an a king titled OBA.. thAT IS COS oba IS AN edO WORD AND NOT A yORUBA word.. But anyway this is not our argument.

How can someone say that Obigbo had been just a market place for Igbos?

Shota, you must be mad. Obigbo had and still has Ndoki and Asa towns. And I just listed the names of those towns. Obigbo was never an empty land, it's the ancestral land of the Ndoki and Asa tribes of the Igbo nation. Don't know where you got the stuff about Ngwa people coming down to claim empty lands in Obigbo from, cos there were never empty lands in Oyigbo to start with. The Ogonis that had plans of extending into Ndoki lands in Obigbo LGA, in the late I990's were dealt a heavy defeat by the Ndokis.

Obigbo had no reason being part of your useless Rivers state, it was in attempt to rid Igboland of all oil producing territories, that Gowon and his Yoruba advisers, carved out the oil producing part of Ndoki and Asalands, now called Obigbo and put them in Rivers state. Leaving the other supposedly non oil producing/ less oil producing parts of Asa and Ndokilands in the old Imo state, now Abia state. It's similar to what happened to Egbema.
