He didn't say that all Port Harcourt was named igweocha,he said that some parts of Port Harcourt was named igweocha ( ikwerres part) while the other was named Obomuotu country ( Okrika part).

The question still remains tho,what will be the city new name?since everybody are all shouting that we should renamed it.

ednut1:
so you assume i am igbo I’m yoruba. On same Wikipedia the okrika name is there. So is it better the name remains Given the history of Harcourt Abi una no fit form another name ni

I don't care if you are from Cong Brazzaville, Sierra Leone or Morocco that's none of my business.
My business is, none of Okrika people parts of Port Harcourt will be changed to igweocha.

ednut1:
so you can’t research or what

Historically it has been known as Obomuotu Country within which a few other smaller areas were called Diobu or Igweocha.[19] From Wikipedia

Port Harcourt is a joint city with Okrika people owing half and ikwerres owing half there was never an official name for the city.
I don't know where you igbos get this igweocha whatever because igweocha is a foreign name to Okrika people,and none of the Okrika parts of port Harcourt will be called Igweocha. whatever the fvck that means.
Cc worworboy.

ednut1:
before its creation in 1912 by the British. The natives there had a name for it

Oga go straight to the point what was the name? Mind you, it is my state we are talking about.

ednut1:
its origin name

And what is the original name? And who told you that Port Harcourt is not it's original name?

ednut1:
Yet river state have not made any plans to change the name

Change the name to what?

Ijaws are indeed in ondo state

Darren95:
I am from Rivers state and I can tell you that I do not belong to any political party. You can see me hail a party member today and see me castigate him tomorrow if I feel his is not delivering good leadership, justice and development to its people.

2023 Presidential election I can assure you that majority of Rivers people will consider:

1. Region (North or South)

2. Capacity ( Ability to deliver)


1. Region: If anybody tells you that Rivers people will vote for a northerner then just know you are being deceived. Let me tell you, Gov. Wike knows this that is why he is fighting Atiku with boldness!
What will Gov Nyesom Wike tell we Rivers People to vote for another Fulani man after Buhari? Na madness??


2. Capacity: Base on the above, in terms of capacity, the two major presidential candidates from the South is Tinubu and Peter Obi.
The truth is that Rivers people would have love to vote for the Igbos base on the fact that they have not ruled, but we can’t trade capacity to deliver with it is my turn.

Looking at the candidate, Tinubu has more experience and has technocrats around him to deliver better than Peter Obi including judging from their past records as Governors.

Some may want to discredit Tinubu by judging him with age,religion and health status, the truth is that if Tinubu can read clearly, campaign across the 36 states without any health challenge then he can rule Nigeria.

Religion: Past history have not shown any benefits on the state of the country. Things keeps getting worst so let’s try this same religion and I can tell you it will reduce religious bigots and unite Nigerians irrespective of religion or region. These religions were imported, our root unites the black people more as one united people of Africa.

Tinubu will deliver more than Peter Obi

Let’s we Southern Nigeria don’t make the mistake the North made with Buhari.

Yoruba are in full support for restructuring/regional government and let’s support their son who understands the game, the system and experience to bring constitutional amendments and development to Southern Nigeria, the industrial hub of the nation.

Peter Obi na learner, them fit even impeach am, na Jonathan pro max.

But Tinubu na Don 1. Southerners na this kind man we need this time to represent us, we mistake for Jonathan way too cool and you want us to send another small pikin Peter Obi?

Come southerners are one, stop this it’s south east or this turn??!! If it’s south east turn why is it not we Ikwerre people of rivers state turn? We are ijaws (Goodluck Jonathan)? So forget about it is my turn.

Southern Nigeria is one!!!

I just have two question for you.

1. Since when did you became the spoke man of all Rivers people that you're saying that no Rivers person will vote for a northern?
2. The only people who are likely to listen to Wike are Obio/ Apkor,all ikwerres and Opobo people ( because he has chosen an Opobo son as his prefer governor candidate.) Apart from that, nobody in Rivers state will listen to Wike who has done zero projects in their communities.
I don't know what you are on about, but I am a Rivers man and I am voting for Atiku.

I never really paid attention to it but now that you mention it, I think that you are right

His first wife isn't it obvious?

Omahjasper:
and u forgot that is human being that state and discover history right! There are many fake history due to political apathy.... check history before colonial rule.
Portharcourt is owned by Ijaw, Igbo, itchekiri, ur hobo etc. No mention of ikwerre how come they now rename and disassociate themselves meaning there's untold secret about ikwerre politics by rejecting igbo by this evening of which reasonable someone knows the truth....

Point of correction, half of Port Harcourt is owned by Okrika people. Thank you.

PaChukwudi44:
Oga there is labour party in Rivers state and it is very strong.

On social media right? Lmao

PaChukwudi44:
Of course no one is saying Tinubu would get zero votes in Rivers state.We are only saying he will not get any significant votes from the state

just like peter Obi won't get any significant votes in Rivers state cause there's nothing like labour party in Rivers State, Rivers State is still a pdp states so what all the noise all about?

Penguin2:
No advantage for APC bro.

You definitely know it’s advantage Labour Party, don’t you?

Rivers people will not vote Tinubu. Why are you finding it difficult to understand.

This is why I sometimes doubt you from Southsouth. Because you seem to be out of touch with reality on ground and the pulse of the people.

Who made you the spoke man of all Rivers people? And why won't some Rivers people vote for Tinubu? Or don't you know that Tinubu becoming president of Nigeria will benefit some Rivers people? Everything lies on interest. I am an Rivers man and I am supporting Atiku, cause it suits my interest.

Chimaraymond455:
It's hitting everywhere in portharcourt today Magnus Abe for governor of river state come 2023.

Lmao. For which party?

stopthecycle:
Sure. But the feel of the people favours Tonye Cole now. Rivers people are not happy with Wike and his illicit financial dealings with Rivers State funds.

Sim Fubara is likely to be the governor of Rivers state come 2023.

If you want to heat your body go and stand under the sun. Since when did men turn to sun?

brandsoncharlie:
Charity begins at home they say.
Goodluck Jonathan couldn’t construct a single road leading to his village , it became a shame to him despite being in government.
Quench the fire in your household before you help your neighbors to do so.
She’s doing a great job, am from rivers state, my community share a boundary with the degema community.
Am proud of her sensitization on like those other group of Nigerians in the east crying like a baby (marginalization). Taking photos up and down when their people don’t know what is ahead only to share rice.
I hope you heard wikes Speech after loosing the primaries.

Listen, I am also from Rivers State and I'm rooting for Atiku. I said that it's her hometown because the op was making it look like everybody in Rivers state are voting for Peter Obi. While in reality, it's nothing like that.

Golan007:
Did Tinubu stand a chance in Rivers before?

The idea is to cut it to size.

Catch up man.

DOA lmao.

PaChukwudi44:
the APC will win the Rivers Guber elections in 2023

Siminialayi Fubara is likely to be the governor of Rivers State. So how Apc wan carry win?

Golan007:
But Wike and Amaechi working for a common goal depsite their differences would yield a great result.

Great result? You mean by campaigning for Tinubu? Lol.
With the way things are going, peter obi and Atiku stand a better chance in Rivers state than Tinubu.

Oghene1st:
Wike is loved all over South South. Wike is the second Jonathan of South South. Wike joining APC is end of the road for PDP in South South. South South is currently quiet and grieving. It is because of what happened to Wike.

You are joking right? Wike joining APC will not even affect Rivers State not to talk of the whole South south lol.

Graysons:
She's from Degema LGA?

Yep.

It's her hometown, what's the big deal?

I am from Rivers State, and I'm rooting for Atiku.

Eastlink:
Stop sharing nonsense. Obasanjo tried but Shagari and Yar’adua government made Igbo technocrats their fulcrum. Any wonder why Ndigbo did well in a ramifications. In fact under Shagari’s tenure states like Rivers, Imo and Anambra were the best among the rest.

Rivers State Is not an Igbo state you land grabbing, Abia church rat, who can't develop his potor potor,useless,miserable,south east,but want to drag Rivers State into your useless, 419,Igbo nonsense. Stupid.
