Lies .
Not true..
Opobo n Bonny are ibani ijaws n speak ibani as mother tongue

an average Ipob only hears about Ibani but can’t speak come in it, they all speak Igbo and teach their children Igbo and if that is not mother tongue for u then I give up

michelz:
It's not much of a confusion.
The term 'Ijaw' these days, is a political construct, just like 'Niger Delta'.
When you find yourself living close to the river and you have oil, then you're definitely 'Ijaw'.
It doesn't really matter if you speak Izon or you practice their culture.
Look at GEJ from Ogbia. He is now a full fledged Ijaw man. Not minding the fact that Izon and Ogbia language are not mutually intelligible. They don't even marry themselves and have absolutely nothing in common.

u fully understood the situation on ground…

This is exactly the simplest solution to Nigeria problems

I don’t know about Bonny but as for Opobo even those with Ijaw names are paternal Igbo meaning they are Igbo with Ijaw names….
Opobo is 100percent Igbo.
Ask most Opobo people where they are from they might say Ijaw but if u ask him where his grandfather that gave birth to father is from he will tell u his grandfather is Igbo.
There’s a hell lot of confusion there, most will tell am Igbo but by naturalization am Ijaw lol

Blue3k:
Who are you speaking for? There's a constitutional process for areas of the state to secede and join another state if they wish to. Its much easier than creating a new state created.

it’s much easier on paper lol

rusher14:
Or East na.

By the way, Ondo and Lagos state produce oil.

ok but the Ondo part that produces oil should never be part of Ondo… which Lagos are u talking about There’s no single drop of oil in Lagos.
For East there’s Abia,Anambra and Imo.

The North is less than 5% of the problem of the South.

In the first 6 months of 2022 (Jan - June), the 8 Oil Producing states of Niger Delta shared 377. 9 billion naira as 13% Derivation Revenue. Of this figure, Delta state got the highest -- 114.7 billion naira. Akwa Ibom state followed with 80 billion naira. Bayelsa in 3rd position with 76. 7 billion naira & Rivers in 4th with 70. 4 billion naira. It is important to note that this 377. 9 billion shared by these states is just for the first 6 months of this year & not the total figure for the whole year 2022. It is equally noteworthy that this 377.9 billion is just from the mandatory 13% Derivation allocation. It does not include other hundreds of billions of naira coming in monthly from -- Main Statutory allocations, Royalties, Rents, Taxes, Ecological funds, IGRs, Loans, Grants & Refunds, NDDC funds, Ministry of Niger Delta funds etc. When you add this additional hundreds of billions of naira to Delta state's 114. 7 billion naira 13% Derivation share or Bayelsa's 76. 7 billion 13% Derivation share, the total in a month could blow one's mind. You could argue that Rivers state & Akwa Ibom can point at a few developmental projects that a fraction of this money is applied to while over 60% of these funds end up in private pockets. But where is the evidence of even 10% of this hundreds of billions anywhere in Delta state or Bayelsa state. And when one considers that Bayelsa is just only 8 local governments, any human being from that state should be shedding tears of shame. What socio-economic, infrastructural development & upliftment in the standard of living of citizens, comparable to that of any developed country in the world, can the hundreds of billions coming in monthly not be more than enough to build in Delta state or Bayelsa state with just 8 local governments that put together are not even up to one local government in Kano state? But unfortunately & tragically shameful too, the problem of the people of Delta & Bayelsa states ruled by Southerners since 1999 (23 years now) is the North. How surprising.

craps
nobody should sow where they did not sow
Ur long epistle isn’t worth looking at

rusher14:
Wicked how?

If only your parents had given birth to only 1 child instead of 10, perhaps our oil resources would have been enough to sustain the population.

no I’d say if the regions with the oil had their own country, no parasites from Waste or North reaping from where they did not sow

oyebanji44:
Ok it reminded me of the civil war these were the bingos that were killed on Biafra side,,,

Revolution2022:

Sonyboom765:

Ebubu:
anyi chucks my black arse someone dave is sponsoring to make sure obinna ogba does not win pdp ticket obinna ogba a sitting senator and once strong man of local ebonyi politics in 2003 and 2002 young nwifuru had no chance over him. it will be easier manning up young nwifuru with young odii, nwifuru can win him due to a little local politics experience but for where ogba is nwifuru had no chance reason why dave made sure pdp had two factions before he left, went further to recruit odii and fund him all the way to supreme court to make sure ogba is not declared pdp ticket holder ogba is very strong. i am telling you for the first time dave has a hand in odii emergence, i will reveal no further what his media campaign team told me on twitter ebonyi state politics sweet sue

lol typicall wawa yapping gibberish .. eh go clear for una eyes

Peacecore:
Is it by name? We have players such as Walker, Blind, Drinkwater. Also people like Bush, Gate, Crook/Crooke all of them are did or doing well.

abeg crook just sounds better, Nwaifuru is just way too funny , i recently learned it means a hardened criminal...

Ebubu:
so umahi is not a criminal? or you think he is a saint? you are living in delusion. you will hang nwifuru portrait in your office in abakaliki next year, if you have any.

no words for u

Peacecore:
Stop disparaging a whole tribe for the sin of one.

lol these guys can be annoying for real.

candidtalk:
You need a crash course in history. Go and read Gowon's declaration below. Even with your propensity for always positioning the Igbo man as the innocent victim over every situation, please try to be sensible now and them.

Ojukwu and his fellow megalomaniac Igbo warmongers sent 3 million people to their death. Not Gowon, Not Awolowo, not Adekunle, not the Queen of England and not Yorubas or Northerners.

The greedy, covetous and irresponsible megalomaniac called Ojukwu sent those Igbos to their death callously only to flee like a coward after declaring he would fight to the death.


https://www.thecable.ng/flashback-ojukwus-declaration-sparked-off-civil-war-50-years-ago/amp

i think u lack comprehension... this qoute by Gowon shows he want to keep Nigeria one by all means. it shows Gowon was the greedy one.
if Nigeria is one why kill people that say they do not want again.
Nigeria is and has never been one and it is a fundamental human right/natural law to choose where u belong..

he should contested under APC if he is soo damn sure

Peacecore:
Is he actually the first person to have boasted fire in this forum? Is that life perculiar to Abakaliki people? Or haven't you heard it from my Yoruba brothers?

lol for the first i have to concur with ur Yoruba brothers

Peacecore:
Una wan rule again back to back.

yes, why not when they are fielding people not for even fit to be primary school class prefect for governorship.... what hell is Nwaifuru the name sef sound absord

Ebubu:
like i said, near the olympic stadium next year during his swearing in and leave in an ambulance.

we no dey cap.

blood thirsty abakeleke man... ebonyi will never be ruled by criminals never

Ebubu:
no problem, when nwifuru is sworn in next year, come and disrupt the swearing in, but say proper goodbye to your family before you come.

speaking like a tout quote author=Ebubu post=116671977] ]no problem, when nwifuru is sworn in next year .[/quote]come swear am in na
u guys are so backward... disgracing Ebonyi name every where u go nwa abakleke

CaptainAyub:
Because I have interacted with a lot of Izzi ppl who will rather commit suicide than vote Nwiwhuru, even ppl from the next compound in his village, cos of his involvement in the Igbojima VS Unwueru crises.They say their own will be finished if Nwiwhuru mistakenly becomes the governor.
The other day,Eric Ogbaga posted a picture of Nwiwhuru and tagged him bridge builder,one of Senator Nshii's sons immediately posted pictures of houses that were burnt recently by ppl he alleged were sponsored by the speaker.
And i heard his re-election in 2019 was the bloodiest so far that the corpses of some of the ppl his goons killed have not even been buried.
I know U know all these but u can bury your head in the sand like ostriches sha

in abakeleke strange dialect nwifuru means a hardened criminal,, tufia we wont be rule by a harden ed criminal, if that is the best those abakaliki,ebonyi north or central we reject it, let Ohaozara people continue or better still Afikpo people...
last week i saw Onyekachi Nwaebonyi campaign poster on a car back,,the same Onyekachi Nwaebonyi that beats all these abakaliki old women selliing things to make a living... someone great grand ma he flog and destroys her goods,that is the man they want to make a senator
chia

Ebubu:
be like you want to be reminded abakaliki belongs to abakaliki man

abakalaliki is abakaliki, ebonyi is ebonyi,abakaliki people dont own ebonyi, infact abakaliki people did not develop abakaliki as a matter of fact so they dont have any right self

CaptainAyub:
Umahi is currently the most hated politician in Ebonyi now.
The only ppl behind Umahi in Ebonyi as at now are few Izzi ppl from the same kindred with his puppet Nwifuru.The other Izzi ppl from the other kindred,if they see poison,they will give Umahi and Nwifuru. The,ppl from Umahi's village and few political appointees

we reject a hardened criminal (nwaifuru) means hardened criminal... we ohaozara people strongly reject that

Ebubu:
how can odii, from same village as Umahi , win governorship ?

can the same village win governorship back-to-back ?

it could be, if the village or community is most populous in the state, but it is not. nwifuru is a abakaliki man and they have the most populous voting strength in ebonyi state.


power to apc

oga shut up,abakalakili people are so ungrateful, ohaozara people are making ebonyi great,u guys with ur nwaifuru heard it means hardened criminal in ur strange language, gorforbid a criminal rule ebonyi.

Kudos to Ipob victory is yours NK did not commit any crime

PandoraObi:
Peter Obidient dare not condemn them

what does Peter Obi supporters got to do with this?

Afonja will never understand an Igbo man

children of hate
