Mgbede Community in River State, the most neglected community by government in Nigeria? (Videos)


The Egbema people of rivers state seem to be the most hit by bad governance in Nigeria.

The Community primary school in Mgbede of Ogba Egbema Ndoni local government area of rivers state, a school where pupils sit on the floor to learn, a school whose classrooms have become public toilets, is the only Rivers State owned primary school and has long been abandoned to rot.

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesome Wike, who in 2014 promised the people of fixing most of these issues even before he became the Governor of Rivers State has ever since not visited the community again, his aids according to sources don’t even want to meet with anyone coming from kingdom.


The Egbema people has long been forgotten even with their massive economic contributions to the entire nation. There are allegedly over 50 oil wells in this community and what this means is that the Nation makes at least $500,000 to a million dollars daily from the said community and this has happened for the past 54 years.

This same community is reported not to have a functioning government owned general hospitals. Sources around the community confirmed it that the only government owned hospital in the community has long been numb with just the mortuary slightly functioning. We were also informed that the only road (Federal Road) linking the community to the rest of rivers state has long been cut off.

When we spoke to one of the community persons, Onwuzuruike Lukeson Oguchi, he said contractors have always tried repairing the road every electioneering period but always leave immediately after elections. He went further to state that he believes the contract for the construction of that road may have been awarded up to 3 times with the monies meant for it going straight into private pockets and that there may be conspiracy between government and a few cabal from the region.

He also said the House of Representative Member representing the constituency (Hon. Prince Uchechukwu Nnam Obi) has never ever visited the community ever after 2015 general election but later came back to the community during this last election.

Reelectbuhari, I expected you to be on this thread as usual to continue what you are known for and you didn't disappoint..

Your post is filled with contradiction and confusion..

Just like saying Ijaws in Delta are different from Ijaws in Bayelsa.

Stop misleading the public with your junk.

@ the topic.. Both the Governor and all their elected Representatives in all levels of government should sit up

Probably people from Kano and Oyo state have been representing them in both senate and house of reps since democracy returns in 1999

HOPEATHAND WHAT IS THE MEANING OF 'MGBEDE' IN RIVERS-STATE

That's because you dont know history. Before the war, Egbema used to be in old Owerri province. In 1967 when Gowon created Rivers state, he took a lot of areas in old Owerri province and carved into this newly created Rivers state. All of a sudden, areas like Ndoni, Egbema, Obigbo, Asa suddenly found themselves in Rivers. Egbema was cut into two, half in Imo state and the other in Rivers. Besides Ijaws and Ogoni, the rest of Rivers are all Igbo speaking people

Whether they're igbos or not the people are suffering can we all focus on the reason for this thread and call on all their representatives in government from local to federal to do what they're elected to do! What's all this rubbish about igbo and no igbo every single day
