I’m an Igbo Man From South-South ~ Gov. Okowa

▪️Mr Okowa is an ‘Ika’ from the Owa-Alero community in Delta State. Ika is a subgroup of the Igbo tribe and is predominantly found in Delta and Edo states.

▪️Governor of Delta State and Vice-Presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ifeanyi Okowa, has claimed that he is an Igbo man and part of the South-East.

▪️Speaking on the show, the governor said, “Being from the South-South, I’m also an Igbo man.

▪️“I fit into all the divides. My brothers in the South-East, I’m part of them. I’m also part of the South-South.

▪️“But this does not stop the agitation in the future for the Igbos to have the presidency of this country,” the vice-presidential candidate said.

Okowa, we urobohs and Ika people, your people, are from Benin. Don't be foolish cos u want Igbo votes. Besides, we deltans are obedient. PDP in delta, including your egho aria government na thief Una be.

tamdun:
Igbo people have been looking for a reason to abandon obi(their son) and lick Atiku's ball, okowa just gave them one

NATIONALPASTOR:


Hello sister Ice-Cream, can you minister to us all here how Ika (IFEANYI) Relates to Benin?

I know benin language, their names, culture etc and all those of Ika do not in any way look similar to the Binis, pls tell us magical arithmetic you did to arrive at Ika (Ifeanyi Okowa) is Benin.

Thank you and be blessed.

I often hear such from my people(I am from ika).. How some of them affiliate themselves to Benin while their culture, names, and dialect do not relate to Benin marvels me.

Culturally we are more like igbos than Benin.

ScamHunter:
Ika is suddenly Igbo because it's election time. Like Ika, like Ikwerre. After election, they start claiming Bini. We Igbo know una tricks. We recognize all other Igbos in the SS and Middlebelt except Ika and Ikwerre. You cannot deny us when you want to align with Nigeria against Igbo, and remember you're Igbo during election.

Ika and Ikwerre are Bini, not Igbo

We are Obified
PO for president, 2023

Wisfem:







After this election PDP will forever remain Obident, Now ika and igbanke are now full Igbos because he is looking for votes

They are never Igbo. They are Benin slaves and will remian so. The only Igbo in Delta for now are the enuani and ndokwa east and some part of ndokwa west. Anything Ika north and south is a Benin slave and will remian so as ikwerre are.

These people(ikwerre and Ika) will never join the Igbo mainstream again even if Nigeria disintegrates.
We will reclaim our land and send them back to Benin where they came from.

Individual opinion shaah. Majority of your brothers vehemently opine that ika is not igbo not minding dialects. I have lived in agbor, the HQ of ika nation, so i speak from experience. what about some moves and utterances of the dein of agbor in the past. most ika men will assert their benin relationship and origin than identify with igbo.

redseason:
See how some people are saying it’s the GEJ format! If you fell for the GEJ Azikiwe format, that is your personal issue because how an ijaw man(ijaw is one of the largest ethnic tribes in Nigeria after after the big 3 spread across several states) metamorphosed into an ibo man is strange.

This is not a brief for Okowa, I benefit nothing from his government, that being said, while I cannot tell much about river state, I know for certain as an ukwuani man from NDOKWA west that we identify as delta ibos, an acronym for all the ibo speaking parts of delta which spans across NDOKWA west, east, some parts of ukwani LGA, Oshimili north and south, Aniocha north and south and the whole of IKA. Have you heard a terminology like “delta bini or delta edo? Did you take cognizance of the names of these people and their dialect? Even the names of their towns and communities? Their dress sense? Their culture? Their masquerades/festivals? Even their local gods? But of course we expect the across the Niger ibos to come forward today and tell us how an IKA man is a lesser ibo man, even when the urhobos, ijaw, itsekiris, isokos all class them as the ibos among them.

This is one of the reasons the average ibo man from places other than the south east should be wary of the southeastern ibos. Their oneness is when power and money is not involved. The moment money or power is introduced, you will see their inherent greed. The very reason am ibo man will never be president is because an ibo man will always sell the ibo tribe to an outside bidder.

I pity my people at the actualization of Biafra which we hope to usher a better life, because the marginalization from the east will dwarf whatever the region experiences from other parts today. You think the average eastern ibo will allow power rotate equitable? Even in delta, they allow it rotate equitable around the 3 geopolitical zones. The eastern ibo is so greedy that he would rather sell his brother than allow power stay with his neighbors. Who sold the ibos in the first republic? Who did the core ibo heavy weights campaign for in the ruling APC primaries? When the ibos had the slot of the senate presidency under obasanjo, remind me again how many times they were used to do hatchet jobs and impeach themselves? In one government, we had Emwerem, okadigbo, wabara, Anyim etc.

I graduated from Unizik in 2009 and I saw first hand how power drunk they are, every district, you have an igwe because nobody wants to be subservient to his neighbor. Igwe Nodu, Igwe okpuno, igwe nodu okpuno, igwe every single department, igwe every single faculty, igwe every single hostel, igwe every single fellowship, igwe every church, igwe anything about everything. Even the streets have igwe. These are the people that will allow power rotate to Delta or Rivers in a Biafra?

How convenient that in my country of residence, we just discovered that every count of people we have had issues with regards to betrayal and bussiness deals gone bad is an eastern ibo from imo state, save a single edo exception. 11 total cases with a whopping 10 from one eastern state.

They will never see anything wrong in themselves. I expect them to bash me and ignore the barefaced truth, it will not stop it from being the truth. And yes, presidency is far from the east until the put their greed and betrayal tendencies behind. Obi will not be president, even though he is the best man for the job. I don’t live in social media delusions.

Shut up. Judas. What does Okowa mean In Igbo.
