Rahkman:
Ronu ppl go be like he is not igbo he is rivers

If rotimi Amaechi is not yoruba why should uzodinma from rivers be ibo......let ppl identify themselves stop forcing ur gullible tribe on them

casualobserver:
Something is wrong with us as a people. We are not celebrating teachers, doctors, engineers etc, it is reality show stars we are recognizing….for doing what exactly?

Oho...ask them o!

Always celebrating mediocrity and less productive things.

Mr. Decoder, your remote isn't working.

Take me out of your big 3 tribal nonsense. I love how you 3 big tribes always fight and reconcile when Nigeria is playing football.

When I see Hausas, Yorubas and Igbos fight online, I always want to support the Igbos, then I regain my senses and stay neutral.

When 3 kids fight, there should be a father figure to separate them (Niger Delta).

So, I don't give a f*ck if 3 of you hate one another. All I care about is: after the fight, reconcile, watch football together, defend Nigeria online together when other countries abuse us, and when you're done, come meet daddy (Niger Delta), through your governor for you state allocation.

As a father, our job is to feed and separate our children when they fight.

That's all. Free Nnamdi Kanu, but one Nigeria forever.

I'm not Yoruba, I'm not Igbo and I'm not Hausa. I'm the father of Nigeria (Niger Delta).

We, the Niger Deltans, are the reason Nigeria is still standing and for that, we've assumed the father-figure position. Don't expect us to engage in any stupid fight online or offline. If we must fight, it's about resource control and nothing more.

Rubbish post!

Is like this governor is looking for something to celebrate. I haven't even heard about the show before

Umuinyioku:
Rubbish post!

Rest. As a Niger Deltans, I'll continue to act as a father figure when my 3 big kids fight.

I'm from Rivers, not Igbo, but I love how Igbos always claim us. This makes me feel good and wanted. Knowing that there is someone who can do anytime to keep us and Igbos united gives me joy. Na pikin wey get money, popular, or fine na him people dey like associate with.

In the name of being united, I love how the Hausas don't want Nigeria to split. We die here. The marriage is forever. Hausas and Igbos are one.

I love how our governors always welcome any Rivers man/woman who achieves something for the state or the country like a royal.

This is a sign of encouragement for the rest of us. It may seem unnecessary, but appreciation is part of moral support for the rest of us who are watching from home.

Omah Lay should win Grammy let's welcome him too.

we no dey talk about drunk ijaw ppl no ddy whine urself nobody dey claim una

I'm not even Ijaw or any of those other ones. Let's assume I was, I would've loved it also. I just love how obsessed you people are with Rivers state. Small thing, Rivers is Igbo. Nwabali is Igbo, blah blah blah. His name is Igbo, so he's Igbo. So, all those Nigerians answering English names are from England? Anyway, this dragging us makes me feel good. Who doesn't want to be desired?

Since we're not talking about drunk Ijaw people, let's talk about pushing drugs, being insincere in everything and producing fake products at any given opportunity while ruining the reputation of Nigeria abroad with crime.

Come and carry Rivers state. We don leave am for you. Must you always want to associate with us by force? Learn to love yourself and leave people who don't want you.

Congratulations to both

Eriggs:

Have you met a governor before?

Yes, Fidelis Tapgun of Plateau State in 1993, were you born then? Also
Rotimi Ameachi of Rivers State

It depends on the part of Rivers you are from, and your family affiliation. Despite being from Rivers, Isiokpo to be precise and my mum being from Imo, I have always seen myself as Igbo, infact I speak it and when we travel to my mum's place we share same values. Our dialects may differ just like how an Anambra dialect is different from an Owerri. Infact my cousins can understand my dialect better than an Igbo from Ebonyi or Enugu ... perhaps, you are from the southern part of Rivers who are clearly not Igbo, like the IJaws, Kalabari and Okirika....

Rivers is not a tribe in Nigeria
Igbo is not a state is not a state

Sim is Mr too slow

You have a point, but these Igbo guys that arrogantly say Rivers is Igbo don't care about this thing you wrote. All they know is: River is Igbo and nothing else. It's annoying and insulting. This is like calling an Arab man a caucasian. He'll be offended.

Since they can't let us rest in claiming Rivers to be Igbo, I'm also happy the Hausas can't let them rest too in achieving their Biafra. What goes around comes around. Let's stay united as one Nigeria for ever and not leave one another.

One major misconception people have about Igbo is that they think all Igbos are one unit. It was when the white man came that we have a geography called Igbo, prior to that what was available were settlements and each unique in their own way. There are towns in Imo whose origins are Okirika and they call them Umuokirika (you can Google) they have been living in present day Imo for centuries and they still acknowledge their origin which is Okirika. My grandpa used to tell us that we have relatives in Imo that settled there a long time ago, the state creation in Nigeria did not take cognizance of familial affiliation and it is stupidity to think that all Igbos are the same. Infact after I did an extensive research I had realised that more than 10 large towns in Imo are from Rivers, just as the Ndonis have same dialect and culture with part of Anambra. It is people who are from Rivers that are supposed to bring in our brothers who are in Imo because most Imo communities have origin in Rivers. The Ozuzu community scattered around Mbano, Mbaise, and Mbaitoli all originated from the ancient kingdom of Ozuzu in Etche Rivers. Hence I do not bother myself with people whose family has no name or history to cloud my judgement about Igbos and Rivers

Great insight. I appreciate, but telling an Igbo man that some Igbos are originally from Rivers is the last thing he'll believe. I don't even want to argue this Igbo vs Rivers things. Let's just stay as one Nigeria forever or disintegrate into 4-6 nations.

First,Nwabali the Super Eagles goalkeeper, and now Uzodimma.
Igbo people making Rivers proud from time immemorial yet they keep denying their Igboness
