Uchasa:ok well I always wonder why igbos keep holding on to you guys my wish is for igbos living in rivers to work with ijaws against your interest It is sad u guys promote animosity against igbos and yorubas in the name of fighting wazobia From experience you guys never fight the (zo) part 1 Like 1 Share |

Simbrixton: From your comments, I've deciphered that you're not Itsekiri, neither are you from the Niger Delta. You must be an Igbo or Yoruba clown in disguise. What is bad in saying we don't want you guys meddling in our business? Ijaw is spoken in parts of Ondo State, yet how many times have you seen Ijaws drawing claims to them there? Ibibio is spoken in parts of Abia State, yet how many times have you seen Ibibios drawing claims there? Infact, the cradle of modern day Igbo land--Arochukwu was formerly called "Ibom". The Igbos from Rivers know themselves, and Igbos know them. Apart from Oyigbo,Etche,Omuma,Ndoni, and Egbema communities mistakenly carved into Rivers State, no other part of Rivers has anything to do with the Bia Hegemony, that some of us speak an Igboid language does not make us Igbos. The same goes to Itsekiri, that Itsekiri people speak a Yoruboid language does not make them Yorubas, we are all Niger Deltans with ancestry from Benin. We have nothing to do with the arrogant and domineering WAZOBIANS, so know this and know it well. |

Yeahhhhh....it's a season of MVPs for NBA stars with Nigerian roots. Very recently...precisely last week, Arike Ogunbowale the Dallas Wings star won MVP in an Allstars vs the US women Oalympic team when she helped the Allstars team to beat the Olympic team in a warm up match |
