I hope this gets to the moderators of this great forum. We Rivers people are very sad about this recent development.

In Rivers State, we don't have Obigbo, what we have is Oyigbo Local Government. It is very annoying to see Oyigbo renamed to Obigbo on post moved to front page by the moderators.

We Rivers people want to believe, this is a mistake and not a deliberate act from the moderators.

I know I am not the only one who have noticed this error. The moderators should please correct this, it is very sad and unprofessional.

Below is a link to a post that made front page with Oyigbo renamed to Obigbo.

Please correct this as fast as possible.

Our identity is our pride. There is no Rivers State or Nigeria government document that recognise Obigbo Local Govt. What we have is Oyigbo Local Govt in Rivers State.

I wonder why it will be different on a popular forum like Nairaland.

Thank you very much.

You made a mistake.
Its not the duty of the mods, its the duty of Nairalanders that created and edit the topic.

The topic of the thread is Oyigbo
While the author typed Obigbo inside the content.
How's it the mods fault?

It is the handiwork of the Fulani haters but Fulani-like Igbos. That was how they forcefully renamed our Communities from Rumu to Umu before the war. Now they claim we changed names after the war.
The funny part of this all is that Oyigbo people are saying our name is Oyigbo. Settlers who bought land there are saying your name is Obigbo. Which kind of people are these?

nairaland should abide by truth and justice.... nairaland should stand it ground as profession and not to fall on political thugs or landgrabbers to pressure on bending and twisting oyigbo to obigbo.....
my advice to nairaland is to correct it to oyigbo whenever the thugs put it obigbo....

They can't try that shit in the West

Anyone that they can't bully they will brand them"Fulani slave"
That's what they are doing to Edo and Ijaw
BKayy:

Igbo can't "bully" Ẹdo and Ijaw?
First of all, Ndigbo don't bully anybody that's why unlike you people our history is not littered with conquests of neighbouring group.
As for the two you mentioned (Edo and Ijaw), they are the ones that brought out the Igbo bad side on themselves and trust me, it will continue to grow. They don't know what they started.
Speaking of a fly that challenged an Eagle. It is becoming clear that they will be the ones to pay for all Nigeria has done to Ndigbo - Fact
They forget they are closer than the Fulani doing the mess
nonsense
The conquests were necessary
That was in the past
You conquer or you be conquered

It's not Yoruba fault that your ascestors were too cowardly to spread out

That doesn't change the fact that Obigbo is igbo land, kill yourself.

Obigbo people have been suffering marginalization from rivers state for years just because of their igboness, no road, no government presence, no nothing they kept quiet and endured it now that federal government has remembered them, una want claim them

And even at that, it's the local government that is fraudulently called oyigbo.the town itself have remained Obigbo.

What about their Eze (which happens to be an Igbo traditional title)? Ask their Igwe what Oyigbo means. He will use Oyigbo so that he is not victimised, but ask him what Oyigbo means

You better go back into history. There was nothing called "Oyigbo" until 1976 when "Obigbo" was carved out of Imo state, put in Rivers state the renamed "Oyigbo"

Obigbo is the ancestral name of the place, Oyigbo is an imposed name

Look at this identity-less ikwerre saying rubbish about a place he has no business with. Obigbo people are proud Igbo people of Asa/Ndoki stock. They are not timid or suffering from inferiority complex like you guys.

Everyone still refer it to Obigbo both in nairaland and in Obigbo itself! Oyigbo or whatever nonsense you call it has no meaning in their native dialect so why would they use the fake nomenclature you tribeless people foisted on them?

Get lost, ohu ndi Bini.
