If you are from Akwa Ibom, don't bother to go to Akwa Ibom man to seek for help for employment, there is 95% chances that he won't help you.
[b]So if Akpabio is Senate president, and his wife is using his office to get help for Ibos, [/b]pls blame the useless Akpabio and his Akwa Ibom selfish mentality.


His wife cannot help Igbos and majority of Igbos don't even know nor have ever heared about her. She's probably helping her relatives and uninformed people like you think Igbos are benefitting. Akpabio might also be helping his own relatives but you want him to help other Akwaibomites he doesn't know. The world doesn't work that way

Ibibios, please do not fall for this. The people from the West have started their divide and conquer again sensing the strong bond between SE and SS now. Most of the posters here using popular Ibiobio words like Ayaya unnecessarily and Google translate are impostors from the west, in their typical divide and rule fashion.

These people from the West do not understand how related Igbos and Ibibios are, they don't even know Abiriba people are more related to Ibibios than Igbos. They don't know they are native Igbo/Ika living in Akwa Ibom. They don't even know Aba and Ikot Ekpene are border towns with people living across for hundreds of years and speaking each other languages.

Understand these appointments were made by Akpabio himself after he took office as senate president. This has nothing to do with Igbos but Akpabio. Same way GEJ and Obasanjo for whatever reasons, felt comfortable surrounding themselves with Igbos, than their own people.

Ibibios, keep in mind SE senate president candidates like Orji Uzor Kalu, Umahi and Ifeanyi Ubah later step down to support Akpabio as their brother and inlaw. They did this because of the bond between SE and SS, like they supported GEJ.

As stated already Akpabio made these appointments himself in June 2023 below few days after he was elected. If Ibibios want these positions, please go to Akpabio and ask him to change all of them to Ibibios, Igbos don't care, has nothing to do with Igbos. Don't allow people from the West to cause unnecessary division between you and Igbos. This is a none issue but Akpabio decisions.


Akpabio appoints Aides June 2023. One of the appointments has Igbo name but actually from Akwa Ibom. The Deputy Chief of Staff, Saviour Enyiekere(PhD) hails from Ika Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

Abiriba is more related to Ibibio than Igbos ?

Go and read his constant anti Igbo posts to which Ibibio people gbam to daily.

If Abiriba people have issues tomorrow, it's not Ibibio that will come to your aid but it's Igbos but you are here claiming stupid relationship over Igbos.

She is not going to help any Igbo that is not in her cycle of friends and family.

If you are from Akwa Ibom & you happen to meet any person from Akwa Ibom in any position of authority, whether in government office (political office), Banking sector, Corporate organisation even in business world, I will advice that you better mind yourself and carry on with your life as though you are not from that State. Those people are wicked when it comes to helping their people, no, never they will never help. Couple with their inferiority complex the moment they find themselves in the midst of other tribes.
Akwa Ibom person in a government or a public office will tell you to speak English with him, that he or she does not understand you if you were trying to communicate with the person in the local dialect.

An ardent supporter of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and Director Of Special Duties For Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio Campaign, Da Zion Umoh has joined voice in protesting the alleged marginalisation of Akwa Ibom indigenes appointed as legislative aides to the Senate President.

Describing the situation where aides from his home state were denied their allowances while others have been paid 6 months salary as unfortunate, Da Zion cautioned that Akwa Ibomites may never benefit from this Administration except achievement of Used Cars and Grinding Machines as Empowerments and Support.

You may recall that the wife of the Senate President is from Enugu State and during her time as first lady of Akwa Ibom State was alleged to have favoured her kindred in appointments and contracts to the detriment of the indigenes.

According Vanguard newspaper, the office of the Senate President is entitled to 45 appointees, but Da Zion alleged that most of the key appointees including Chief of Staff are controlled by Igbos.

That is Igbo mindset any giving opportunity is for them to unleash tribalism and they think they can rule Nigeria with this bigotry.

@Dis.sTroy is this guy's claim true?

Not exactly. But the OP is right about Igbo wives being nepotistic and giving jobs to their Igbo relatives alone.

Nneoma Akpabio as Governor's wife was notorious for scheming Igbo people into Akwa Ibom State civil service until we fought back and kicked them all out. ALL OUT. It was so bad Igbos began boasting they control Akwa Ibom.


It's one of the reasons any person contesting as Governor or Senator in Akwa Ibom with an Igbo wife has another hurdle. It worked against Nsima in 2019.

Same thing Akeredolu's wife did.

Igbo first ladies are notorious for trying to hijack what rightly belongs to indigenes to their Igbo relatives. I trust Da Zion Umoh. Now that he's mentioned it, it would be addressed.

Akpabio had to plead when it got to a head as Governor. We'd revisit the issue and address it. If it isn't addressed, Akpabio would pay for it during the elections.

But Akpabio has used his power as Senate President to help a lot of Akwa Ibomites though. Many people I know have been appointed into high and federal offices, including a very close associate of mine recently. Many got civil service jobs too.
Nneoma Akpabio, like most Igbo first ladies married outside their tribes, tends to overdo it. The Igbos wouldn't have taken it if Obi's wife (an Ibibio) tried that as first lady in Anambra.

They scream tribalism but dish it out on a daily.

Nneoma Akpabio is a powerful woman that controls her husband as she pleases, she do pass Betty Akeredolu but she's not loud as Betty.

Whenever I see redpillers doing their shit, I just laugh and smh because they don't truly understand that divine power a wise woman has over a man.

No man on earth can escape the manipulative gift of a wise woman except some foolish women who don't even recognize that gift and how to use it. Babangida, Obasanjo, Abdulsalam, Buhari, Jonathan, Tinubu and other alpha men you know are being secretly controlled by their wise spouse , so who are all these tiny legged redpillers that want to change that?

Just try and marry a good woman so that she'll control you positively. Most of these men don't even realized they are being controlled. Just leave shouting and bossing for them while you quietly do your job underground. Eve run am steadily, so no son of Adam can escape it.


The topic is refering to Igbo in particular with any giving chance to power, same thing they did during Jonathan era.

Dude, shush it! I'm Ibibio. Unoma Akpabio, like most Igbo first ladies, is notorious for that. It almost cost her husband a second term as Governor when Akwa Ibom people revolted against her. She toned down in 2015 but has begun again.

We'd never forget how she tried to flood Akwa Ibom State Civil Service with Igbos and the prejudice she displayed at Maitama, Uyo. No Igbo state would tolerate it.

Her antics has put a question mark on the ambition of politicians with Igbo wives in the state. Ask anyone versed in Akwa Ibom politics to confirm this.

You know ma main man, I honestly don't know why most women do this, and to make matters worse, their husbands always tend to sit back and let them. I'm still trying to fix my thoughts around it, but still can't.

I mean, I will never, never! Allow my wife interfere with my work, friends and family. That's the three lines she won't cross. Even the women I dated, I gave them this strict rule, ones you cross it, that's it. There's no "I'm sorry".

There's just something morbid about it. A woman sits her ass down, gets married to a man with money, then, she feels entitled to the man's money because she's his wife? Like what tha Bleep! Imagine if the actions of Akpabio's wife had cost him his second bid as Governor, what would his entitled wife had said? "I'm sorry" then she offers him pussy and all is okay?

Look bro, this is something I will never take! I've mapped out specific ways of dealing with women who have such mindsets, who come my way.

I haven't even described one-twentieth of how nepotistic Nneoma Akpabio was a First Lady. Thank goodness my people woke up to tame her.

Most people's relatives are from the same tribe as them, unless they have a multiethnic background. So, I fail to see how this could be a case of tribalism, not nepotism.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's wrong. People should only be hired based on their ability to do the job well, not on how well they know 'the boss' or his wife.

However, I do not like this "Igbos are taking over" trope. It started from before the civil war and despite the fact that no Igbo man has been in power since then, it still exists now.
