Guy I did t wait for naira land to upload anything, I went to Facebook where I saw the live n direct video of what the man said

I guess many of u don't even understand Yoruba so u really don't get the man's point but just reacting on people's comments on social media

Guy I b Yoruba person, I hear Wetin d man talk n it's same advise any family oriented person will give

If u like ruin your home cos u feel u have an upper hand, na your children go suffer am

Don't quote me cos I won't reply u

I have followed your comments keenly and I must say I am impressed with your submissions on the subject. Nigerian women are really somehow once they go abroad. I am not an abusive person but I can be very blunt, and is a personal conviction that I would divorce a woman who called the cops on me.

Elzazzi:
I know Jeremiah is Delta ijaw. I'm also delta ijaw. I don't even know the meaning of the name in Ijaw. Omo is not ijaw name. As we know its a name related to the Yorubas and Itsekiris. Maybe it means something in itsekiri

is an ijaw slang meaning "fresh and raw"

EreluRoz:
Owomowomo should be a slang in Ijaw but maybe you don't understand your language very well.

Is a slang that means Fresh and Raw

Why do I feel like this guy was betrayed by a friend who tipped the police.

Growing up I realised how much parents could hurt their children so I promised myself to be conscious of my actions and inactions while raising mine.

If you have ever bought a new car, you would know it can take months and even years to deliver. Even the ones for the crooks in the Senate and HOR took months to deliver.

I just ordered a Toyota grandhighlander in July, and I was given a date of 8 - 16 months for delivery.

Even the track bike used for a track event in the Olympic can take weeks or even months to deliver.

Tell me more about ordering cars

Franklyspeakin:
he obviously doesn't even know the woman before

You're talking like he is responsible for the pictures! Is the news medium not in best position to use the correct picture? the fault is from the newspaper and not Tompolo. Between, how can you say he doesn't know the woman? The woman is an Ijaw woman from the Niger Delta and is a prominent name, so obviously he knows her.

atiku4President:
Absolute loyalty. Not in Nigeria where many people belong to APDP

There is no loyalty there. She is just disrespectful to the American President not even to Biden. Do you reject your President's call? Where is your loyalty to your country?

Curdlebug:
Americans don worship anyone in power because they have the power to put you there and throw you out ... now that's true democracy...

Not this bullshxt Nigeria is going through

Refusing your President's call is loyalty or disrespect to the American state itself?

Anguldi:
They do it, they rescued 7 people and 250 Palestinians dead in a single operation the last time

wow

I think is time Israel deploy hostage rescuing teams to recue their people. This continual offensive onslaught is very concerning.

Major bills if you are not type that lives and spend much

How can house be 10k. U mean monthly house rent?

Well they are getting it all wrong.
Alpha males are like the predators of the jungle. Sex is cheap, any idiot with money can buy sex, one doesn't need to be an alpha male to get sex.
As a matter of fact no true alpha male takes pride in cheap sex.

TruthsFM:
25 former members of Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to former Governor Nyesom Wike withdraws their 'impeachment' proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Their counsel Ferdinand Orbih SAN also withdrew their case filed by Governor Siminalayi Fubara against these former Assembly members against the impeachment.

Governor Fubara counsel told the Court that he was not given any instruction to withdraw the suit filed by the Governor. Case adjourned to January 31.

The fact of the matter is that the ship has already sailed! I will break it down!

1. The Rivers State High Court has already stopped the so-called impeachment plot by Martins Amaehwule House in November 2023.

2. The Rivers State High Court has already affirmed Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie as the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

3. The former Speaker Hon. Martins Amaehwule and his 24 friends already ceased to be members of Rivers State House of Assembly following their defection to the APC, the declaration of the vacancy of their seats by Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, and the notice communicated to INEC by the Speaker on the vacant 25 seats. Their sitting and resolution is no known to law.

4. Governor Fubara and the House of Assembly are already and smoothly running the state as per the 1999 constitution provided.

5. Rivers People, the Constitution and the law are already in favor of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Rt. Hon. Ehie led House of Assembly.

6. While sympathizing with the Amaehwule and his friends, I enjoin them to lobby their new party for renomination at the pending Byeelection in their respective constituencies.

7. The ship has already sailed. Everyone have moved on!

May Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Rivers State succeed

Tonye, Coastal Ijaw brother. I am heart broken by the development in Rivers. We indeed lack unity

simpleseyi:
The President intervened as a concerned citizen who wants peace. He was publicly begged by the Rivers Elders who are loyal to Fubara to intervene. If he wants to intervene as the President and Commander-in-Chief , he will just declare a State of Emergency, and appoint a Sole Administrator.

If he appoints Wike as the Sole Administrator, the National Assembly will approve it. Anybody wey wan die, make e die, the President has spoken. This was what Wike was working towards, that was why he went to Rivers State to cause himself to be attacked and chaos will start, but Tinubu cautioned Wike to let Fubara be. If not, Nyezom Wike would have returned as the Sole Administrator of Rivers State and INEC will conduct another election which will be won by Wike's new stooge. Una go cry tire

You mumu nobi small.. How you were able to cook and believe this.

Paraman:
Fubara from Opobo is saying he's Ijaw, an Igbo man from Anambra, Abia or Imo state is telling him that he's wrong.

Is just pure stupidity

IGBOSON1:
Opobo, Bonny and Okirika during colonial times were independent city-states that had influences and origins from the Igbo ethnicity....and Ijaw to a lesser extent! What happened was that after the uncivil war, ethnic politics took over in the region, and the Fulani/Yoruba hegemonic alliance, intent on diminishing Igbo territory, influence and economy, empowered the Ijaw who went on to Ijawnise the aforementioned city-states who up until then didn't see the need to publicly proclaim that they were either Igbo or Ijaw!

I swear u local.

Burruchaga71:
Is ijaw a tribe in Nigeria or Malawi?

Your ignorance stinks.

MrEverest:
If ikwerre people are smart, they should align with Sim Fubara now and isolate idiotic Wike. Otherwise, if they join him in this dance of shame, they will end up going down with him.

Ijaws outnumber them in numbers and also violent in nature. So, it won't make sense trying to fight them. Secondly, ijaws will easily join forces with Ogoni, Kalabari and even some oppressed Igboid groups in Rivers like Etche and Obigbo. Even ijaws from Bayelsa and Delta are teaming up with their brothers in Rivers State. Edwin Clark is already condemning Wike.

If that happens, ikwerres will return to old Rivers situation when they were completely sidelined.

The Kalabaris are also Ijaw

jrusky:
You see the name "Chijioke"led the youth and said in quote "the youth will BURN* down the house".

Anything attached to them na only to burn it down only language they understand. River man with Chijioke name you can see if genetically track he is likely to come from my region definitely.

All they know is burn, burn and burn. River people they will destroy your homeland the way they destroyed their region I'm warning you people now but turned deaf ears...

Those are Ijaw youths that have ancestral links with Igbos due to intermarriages. Just like The late Ifeanyi of Davido, he is yoruba, but that Ifeanyi will be more pronounced, it doesn't make him Igbo.

All 23 local government chairmen in Rivers State sacked.
State Executive council dissolved.
Speaker of the state house of Assembly changed.
Governor Simi Fubara of Rivers State has sacked all 23 Local Government Areas Chairmen of the state. The development followed an ongoing plot to sack Fubara and his deputy by the Rivers State House of Assembly.
However, Fubara in what can be described as a preventive measure, sacked appointees loyal to former governor Nyesom Wike, including the local government chairmen. The sack of the chairmen was preceded by the impeachment of the Rivers Assembly Speaker,Martin Amaewhule, who was promptly replaced with Ehie Edison on Monday.

The impeachment plot, which is reportedly orchestrated by Wike, has been greeted with many reactions and events.
First, the state assembly complex was gutted by a mysterious fire on Sunday night. Early Monday morning, a heavy security architecture assaulted the governor by pouring him water and firing canisters at Fubara and his supporters who were trying to access the complex. As of press time, supporters of Fubara had taken over major areas in the city while declaring solidarity for his administration.

A new sheriff is in Town...

Urheadmaster:
Fubara seems to be a weakling politician

You may be right. but is too early to conclude

Urheadmaster:
SIM fubara bite the finger that feeds him now he's going down

He is not going down. Wike is greedy

valentineuwakwe:
I dnt even know what is wrong with wike.....you are now a minister of FCT yet you stil won control rivers state.....it's high time all rivers people stand up and put a stop to all this!

Is greed. But a man's greed should never exceed his worth. Wike wants to be the Tinubu of Rivers.. He forgot the region that produced a mad man like him could equally produce more madder men to tame him.

The situation in rivers state is generating heat across the Ijaw nationality.

We are Ijaws we stand with #Sim

Press Briefing on the Situation in Rivers State by Chief E. K. Clark, OFR, CON

CALL FCT MINISTER, NYESOM WIKE, SECURITY AGENCIES IN RIVERS STATE TO ORDER, CHIEF E.K. CLARK TELLS PRESIDENT TINUBU

30th October 2023.

I have been greatly disturbed by the reported developments in Rivers State in the last 24 hours. I have been reliably informed that there is a plot to unlawfully remove the Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Siminalaye Fubara, who has spent only about 5 months in office.

I understand the sad episode is being orchestrated by the immediate past Governor of Rivers State and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Nyesom Wike. And that the intention is to remove the Governor, force his deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu to resign, and install the Speaker of the House of Assembly, another Ikwerre person as the governor of the State.
Let me warn strongly, we won't allow that to happen!

President Bola Tinubu must call Nyesom Wike and the security agencies in Rivers State to order, to avert any untold crisis in Rivers State.

Last night, the hallowed chamber of the Rivers State House of Assembly was burnt, in what apparently is part of the plot to destabilize the State.

The Governor was tear-gassed and was even threatened with being shot at when he visited the Assembly Complex after the incident, to assess the level of damage.

We are not in a barbaric state where people can do whatever they like; we are in a democracy and the tenets of constitutional democracy must be upheld by all
Rivers people have suffered enough political crises, the state should not be allowed to degenerate again into its dark past, and the Niger Delta Region by extension. The consequences would be dire for the stability of the region and the National Economy.

What has Governor Fubara done wrong? Refusing to be further "remote controlled"?

Mr. Nyesom Wike was Governor for 8 years, nobody hassled him. He governed Rivers State like an Emperor, he did not show any iota of respect and regard to anyone, not even those who imposed him on Rivers people in 2015.

President Tinubu must act fast and avert the unfolding crisis in Rivers State in the interest of his administration, the nation's democracy, and the Country at large.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!

Addme:
This is getting interesting. Wike with 24 members and Fubara with 8 members I guess.
Wike definitely has more than 2/3 to get the job done.
And the way Fubara is talking, It would have been better if Rivers people are with him but with what happened during the election, I doubt if anyone will support him now except if the support will come to spite Wike.
This is the best time for PDP to rally round him but unfortunately Wike still has them in his pocket.
Not the best time for Fubara

If the Ijaws in River state like, let them be stupid.

Tranquill:
Igbo people mek ona rest na

All these your dreams will never come to pass.

There’s no issue between Wike and Fubara. Mek ona rest abeg haba!

There is Bro.. The Ijaw nationality will teach Wike a lesson.

Yujin:
You started well but later diverted to start lumping me with others. I'll excuse and focus on our discussion. An English term has a specific meaning moreso when it is contextualized. As much as you would like to disassociate Igbo with the Niger Delta, you can't because we are the head of the lower Niger ethnic groups. Strictly speaking, only Bayelsa and marginal parts of Delta state are situated exactly in the delta formed by the River Niger. So, geographically speaking, only the Ijaws, Epie-Atissa, Ekpeye and Ogbia people are found there.
Isaac Adaka Boro was from that Delta region and could use it and indeed his Niger Delta was limited to the Ijaws of present day Bayelsa. It's funny how some of you will want to use the word Niger Delta to encompass other distant areas that are not even close to the delta formed by the River Niger. The reason is simply because you want to by all means distant yourselves from Igbos. You can do so but you must use the proper term not one that we all shared before.
Below is the map considered to be core Niger Delta states(even though most parts of Delta and Rivers doesn't fall into the Delta properly).
Edo has no business with Niger Delta geographically and the same goes for Akwa Ibom and Cross river state. It's funny how you went to far away Ondo state even citing Odigbo(Ore area which I know very well) as Niger Delta yet you don't consider Oguta(Imo) where traders paddle their canoes to Abonnema estuary as Niger Delta. Your disdain for ndigbo is obvious but it won't change a thing.

N finally, there are lots of information I can't share because I know you lots. Even your Image although not sufficient, betrays your point because you only mentioned Ijaws as Niger Delta.. But you see rivers states, as well as delta states n bayelsa there. but den Goodluck.. I know ur types.. Enjoy..

You don't want enlightment, you only wanted a base to sell your argument. I will allow you to carry on your delusion till the day of reckoning. Don't say I didn't tell you. I don't need to continue this argument. I laugh at you heavily when you talk Isaac Boro and Limit his struggle to Ijaw Niger Delta and worst Bayelsa state when in fact, Isaac Boro's Niger Delta actually captured Rivers States and the Mid-Western States. You think Niger Delta is Ijaw thing? That's where you all failed. Niger Delta like I told you has conceptual, political and geographical meaning but you ended up focusing on the geography. I even went as far as educating you that it is a collection of minority tribes with close ancestral bond but you also ignored it. From your point of arguments I see that you are not just Igboic but a pro biafran agitator. Let me ask you which of the south-south states or areas that you think will join you? Edo? Delta? Rivers? Bayelsa? Akwa-Ibom? Cross River? Ijaws you see as minorities and insequential will be the most resounding killer of your dreams. The Niger Deltans are never conquered! When Nigeria was juicing the bromace as about Wazobia! What changed now? You must all enjoy the food you were serving the Minorities in Niger Delta. During the civil war we learnt a lot from you Igbos.. In Abonema, is a every year thing. We retell the story our people.suffered in the hands of Biafra soldiers. You'll all live to enjoy the show.

Yujin:
Like I said, think properly again about the implication of insisting that someone adjudged producing lesser amount shouldn't be allowed to head an association. This is because it might turn around to harm you in the future.
The mistake Abians did in that case is as a result of their shallow mindset that I talk about while speaking againt Edwin Clark. A good number of our people still fail to see the bigger picture. All Igbos celebrated our sister and daughter from Abia state who got a big post in far away Canada just last week yet back at home, SOME ABIANS rejected a fellow Igbo man from another state being an official in their city. As you can see, it is a general problem for our collective people and it doesn't speak well of us which needs to be addressed by our visionary leaders. I await to see if Gov. Otti will follow their emotional and misguided outburst or he will appeal to them to give his appointee a chance to prove himself.
Finally, I'll like to know your definition of the three.
1. Conceptual Niger Delta
2. Geographical Niger Delta
3. Political Niger Delta

I see how you have clearly communicated your argument or made your point astutely. Thus, I am bound to offer my reply after a review. First, the statement Pa Clark made is not distortion of facts in a society like Nigeria. If you're opposed to the submission he made, there are clearer, convincing, and more diplomatic approach to make your views known if indeed you clearly reflect the civilisation you are preaching now. I skimmed through the comments that this post generated, and I can confidently argue that neither you, nor any of your brethrens in the South-East possess nor reflect the civilisation you are trying to sell to me now. Rather than even making their displeasure known in a civil way, you and your kins resulted to use derogatory and vile languages against the Elder. I also remember when the Youth wing of your Apex Socio-Cultural Group once insulted this same Clark for commenting on national issues. The problem "you all think is that you're the smartest and the brainest because other nationalities are quiet and restrictive on social-developmental issues". But that's a discussion for another day. Now back to Clark's point.. He didn't wasn't just making empty comments, or passing offending remarks. Clark was premising his viewpoints on the facts that you lots (Imo, Abia etc) were prostesting against the senate's tradition of confirming indigenes of major oil producing states as MDs/Chairman of the Commission. Now, that's really offending and provocative, like how dare you try to kick against the confirmation of such natives as MDs/Chairpersons of the agency? That's why he brought the perfect analogue : Why should a far minority shareholder protest against the confirmation of a major shareholder as MD or Chairman? isn't that offensive? In all facets of equality and equity, you lots are not in a position to protest that. Is greediness. and Pa Clark didn't just say you lots should be removed, he even went as far as suggesting that a similar development agency be created for you minorities to advance your socio-economic interests. So how is that offensive or uncivilised for your cronies to rain insult on him? Back to the last question, the conceptual Niger Delta of oil producing states, the political Niger Delta, is the Niger Delta of Six South-South States. n the Geographical Niger Delta is the Niger Delta of the Six South-South States but arguably with parts of Ondo states like Ose-Odo LGA, Odigbo LGA and co. So in sum, the political Niger Delta is strongly similar with the Geographical Niger Delta. N Let me tell you one thing that you non-Niger Deltans don't know, the Niger Delta is beyond geographical boundaries, and political boundaries. The Niger Delta is a collection of Minority tribes with similar and strong ancestral heritage. From far away Ondo state to Akwa-Ibom they are all related.. For instance, from the Benins, Ikweres, Ijaws, Urhobos, Annang, Efik, ETC. We may have our internal disputes and bring them to public but oga, the Unity we share even as individuals of different tribes, is not measurable to what even the majority tribes like Igbo or Yoruba shares. If I tell you that Bayelsa state has the appointments of Akwa-Ibom indigens you will be shocked. Edo state has the appointment of Delta indigens despite the tribal difference, But Abia man refuse Anambra man despite being the same tribe.. I hope I have taken good time to address your concerns. n let me tell you, the Niger Deltans are political and social conscious of everyone around us. Don't think you can sugarcoat us to believe you.
