TonyeBarcanista a Koniju(fisherman) whom is supposedly from okirika/ogubolo and abuloma keep dishing out false and malicious remarks about his brothers the Tuboniji(Trader/Farmer) from okirika/ogubolo and abuloma.

This calls for great concern becos if not checked could lead to tensions and hostilities.

The evidential fact on the ground that cannot be disputed are that Okirika have two first languages, kirike and Igbo. Many are bilingual. They are a healthy mix of Ijaw and Igbo. Though they all identify as Okirika rather than either ethnic group.

Okrika is a town founded on migration. The Ijaw migrant to Okirika are predominantly married to Igbo women. They co-exist alongside the Igbos peacefully.

Okirika is part of a much wider region called abuloma, though their languages are different. Certain parts of Abuloma falls into Port Harcourt. (mainly the water side) This is partly due to City expansion moved more towards Ikwere areas excluding Okirika.

Okirika has a sizable population in Port Harcourt sprinkled in the south. Clearly, any further expansion should incorporate Okirika island fully into Port Harcourt.

One thing that is certain is u cannot talk or mention Port Harcourt without mentioning Ikwere and Okirika(Abuloma). The Ikwere have delibrately kept Okirika out of Port Harcourt based on fear that they will attempt to claim Igweocha as their ancestral land.

That fact is confirmed here by TonyeBarcanista claim that the entire Port Harcourt ijaw land.

Alfred Diete-Spiff an Ijaw man disposed Igbo of their properties after the war becos they feared igbo dominated the City whilst many of them still lived on boat. Many ijaw in Port Harcourt are still living in houses gotten from the igbos til this day.

It is not so much about the house but the land that the houses were built on have also changed ownership from Igbo to Ijaw.

You are very correct. I was shocked on a visit to Okwujuagu, (pardon my spelling) to see the indigents communicating in Igbo.... They are both fluent in Igbo and Ijaw language. A visit to the island will confirm this story. But online Ijaw warriors will not state this.... the peaceful co-existence of both ethnic group from time immemorial.....

Ekinematics:

[s]I doubt if you have even gone to school.
You guys claim to be Jews, we didn't say anything, neither did we dispute it.
We are humans and know that every human has the right to his origin.
You ibos don't even have a well documented history that has been proven to be true. Today you are the lost Jews, tomorrow you are something else.Others have their own history well documented and you without 1 is coming to dispute it.
What nonsense [/s]

Please Ndiigbo ignore this animal in human form called Ekinematics. He is an Afonja who ALWAYS insert himself in Igbo issues especially when it concerns our legitimate interests in the South-South. As for Tonye Barcanista, he has exposed himself as one of those very rare Igbo-hating Ijaws. Leave him to his madness and stop giving him attention. Amberon is a Yoruba woman - I don't care how many copy and paste of Urhobo words she stole from the internet. And that he-goat called fratermathy might very well be Urhobo but he is only supporting that Afonja woman because he wants sex. Please ignore these losers. Igbo interest is too valuable to be engaging with these nobodies.

Nigerian politics is the reason. Nigerian politics breeds bitterness in the hearts of the gullible.

My friend shattap there! All these people you have listed are far more reliable than you. They are taken far more seriously on Nairaland than you. You don't wanna engage them because they keep exposing your Ipob lies. If not for fear of God you will label frater and Tonye Yorubas also. But seriously, u na no dey tire? They have told you people to limit your Biafra to you South-East states. Have some dignity and STOP acting like you cannot survive without non-Igbos. Even if they wanna join your Biafra project, this pathetic desperation you Igbos are displaying will definitely scare them away. Nonsense!

As it stands today in NIGERIA, the South West have Lagos as a commercial hub. Trade flows from Lagos to Ogun and other nearby state.
Abuja is their for the North. They have also developed Kaduna and Kano very well.

Now all this development is with Igbo, Ijaw, Ibibio, Urhobo, Itsekiri oil money.

We should all be coming together with a plan to establish wat is known as Economic zone, like Lagos.

I didn't say that. My point is you cannot force people to form a county with you. Just as I don't agree with Nigeria forcing Igbos to remain. Igbos cannot force others to join Biafra.

etchenwafor:

Well, I'll love to.... but this should be considered as a project, because I'll love to presents facts base on evidence gathered..... Are you from Etche?

Anybody fighting igbo is not ready to face the problem that is facing them and a coward and time waster, that will never achieve anything.

Igbo came together and supported GEJ knowing fully well that due to his weak leadership and sheepish approach he was not going to win. We supported him anyway.

If GEJ was Urhobo or Bini or Ibibio or Efik we do the same for them. That is the spirit.

Until the southern minority accept the invitation and join igbo on the round table of brotherhood, we together will continue to be victimised in this fraudulent entity called Nigeria.

There was once a time, the South could boast of at least(minimum) of 4 City States namely, Nembe, Bonny/Opobo, Okirika(Eclipsed by Port Harcourt now), Calabar.

Today, we rather argue over land, whilst we all migrate to newly established City States called Lagos, Abuja and Kano.

Wat a shame, how did it get so bad without hope of recovery/redemption? smh!

Great one. You guys are the silent giant in Rivers State..... Good to meet you man.

TonyeBarcanista:
The status of Portharcourt is not what is up for contest.

Though the Okrika clan of Ijaw nation (which I belong to) own the Southern part of the city without dispute, there is still agitation that the entire PH belongs to Okrika, including the section occupied by Diobu people of Ikwerre, which was allegedly called "Igweocha". That however is a contest between the Ikwerre and Okrika clan of Ijaw nation.

Notwithstanding, it is out of place and inappropriate for anyone to think it is an Igbo city or any other tribe. Specifically, the Southern part is never up for contest.

It is funny however that the Okrikas are Ijaws, while the Ikwerre that is the other Party in the dispute claim to be a distinct group. I am not aware that the Igbos are laying claim, whether formally or otherwise to the city, except their claim is through the Ikwerre angle, which is the business between the Ikwerre and the Igbo.

lt is funny that indigenous people of the city aren't killing themselves over the subject but sadly a man who was supposed to be a respected professor, who isn't even a native of Rivers state took it upon himself to rekindle another round of social media controversy.

I can't help but comment on this for record sake.

Whatever the case, the lands were there before our birth, they will remain where they are after our death. Why should we kill ourselves?

God bless you.
I'm igbo and my family lives in PH. I go there frequently to visit them.
I have never heard of igbo laying claim of any part of PH. But yorubas with their divide and rule attitude always create such imaginary dispute for reasons that I don't know

Men with vision are already working to harmonize both region, especially on economic terms. The recent S'East/S'South economic summit is a testament. The interchange of both region will definitely lead to an economic boom this part of Africa.... but you can't stop some unguided and myopic charlatans who are fixated on an imaginary domineering Igbos to keep chanting and making a noise as usual.
We know who the domineering group in Nigeria are. The Igbo man is fair to all, as is encoded in our core tenet 'Egbe biri, Ugo biri.....' this is our driving force...... nogh said.

I like the opening comment, u will not find many of the landing claiming tribal jingoist there.

They claim land but do nothing with it, whilst plotting their migration to Lagos and Abuja.

Anybody with half a brain knows that both region have been badly exploited and neglected and they should be working together to close the gap from decades of neglect.

They are interdependent and inseparable.

The Ijaws are suppose to be Igbo closest Ally.
I dont think igbo are as mixed with any other group in Nigeria as they are with the Ijaw.
However, as it stands today, Ibibio are igbo closest and most trusted Ally.
