Most of them have other tribes too but very very small almost insignificant ones.
How a country should be is that you do not create a country with 2 or more big tribes. Countries should be formed around one big tribe, then the smaller one will just gel along

I have been saying this to whoever cares to listen. If Sim or Tonye Cole asserts himself Ikwere is gone. There has been a strong recentment for the Ikwere even among the Igboid group.
The nepotism of Wike during his regime was really bad

UCyril:
the non indigenes are not interested in politics because they are not from Rivers State but the have voters card. Ijaw people are very smart that's why the want to play divide and rule tactics , they're quietly separating other igbiod group from ikwerre. During election what they will do is to solicit support from people in oyigbo,omuma,etche, ogba, etc with non indigenes. Remember fubara speak igbo he will be campaigning with igbo language to gather vote of non indigenes.

Tranquill:


You people and your “Igboid communities” nonsense. Nowhere in Rivers State is called Igboid community.

Stop placing false identities on people.

djon78:


Honestly very sound question

They said igbos is not in Rivers State

But he is claiming that the Igbos have been ruling Rivers State since 1999

That Sim fubara is Igbo
That Sim only speaks igbo
That Wike only used igbos

This is the most confusing analogy I have seen on this forum for a long time now

Someone should clarify this confusion

ShinjaWWest:
Akwaibom is the 4th largest tribe in Nigeria...

God bless the good people of Southsouth and Southwest

Wutinky:

The current Governor is from Opobo and he is Igbo. He chose to Identify with Ijaw because Igbos have been ruling the state since 1999 and the riverine commuinity has been clamouring to rule the state. Professing his Igboness would be counter productive.






Yorubas are naturally docile with inferiority complex, tanything to measure dick with the Igbos makes them so happy, Reno is exploiting them, most of them are in their second and third round of masturbation

Donake:
But his breakaway colleague of former ogba kingdom now egi is called Eze Egi. Why

Wutinky:





Thanks a lot and I thought the same, a lot of Igbos here did not grow up in the south east including myself, i left at a very young age hence why my question because I find our Igboid brothers and sisters attitude very strange .... My people have really suffered at the hand of Nigeria because of that civil war. They did a lot of damage to the Igbos hence why the Country is not progressing, you can't build a house on a faulty foundation and expect it to last ..... it will collapse with time. We Igbos need to come together and fix this mess. I've learned a lot about Nigeria and my people since I find Nairaland few years ago. a lot of people like me are getting the clear message now. enjoy your evening.

Wutinky:





Sound funny but what could be the reason why they don't want to be associated with south east Igbos?

Irony1:


Dude shut up please.

LifeofDream:

Ikwerre is not Igbo, respect them...💯

Whalis:

This civil war you like quoting na waoooo. Before the civil war and after Rivers people have always shown a strong dislike for igbos and their overbearing tendencies.

Babangidapikin:

Good for practice, can you scrap LinkedIn for email address.

dickt1:

Wrong! Opobo are originally Ibani (Ijaw) who lost their language and replaced it with Ibo

mrksquare:



Big lie. That jaja of opobo was of Igbo ancestry doesn't mean he was the sole founder of Opobo. Opobo has its unique dialect called ibani.

My village doesn't have any ancestry with the Igbos only that my forebear has a penchant for marrying Igbo women. Over time my community people started speaking Igbo in place of Okrika. Does that make my people Igbo?

Benwallt:
This Imo should have been in South South. The state and her people would be better of that way

Gajagojo:
nobody agreed to be part of Rivers
No one was consulted. Rivers state was created by military decree
Did the people of Owerri agree to be part of Imo ?

It is the same for ALL THE STATES
So that is an Is irrelevant and nonsensical statement

By the way it is Oyigbo not Obigbo

paramakina202:


Who is disputing the fact that Opobians speaks Igbo as first language?

ReubenE:

You are only trying to embellish his statement for trip.

The other poster clearly mentioned "Ikwerre" and not igboid groups in Rivers. Again, Wike already declared himself and his people not to be igboid a sentiment shared by most of them so Wike is not igbo.

Again, Ijaws outnumber Ikwerre in Rivers and the other igboid groups you think of don't even care about Wike in relation to this topic of discourse

paramakina202:


Was Ijaw the only tribe that traded with Igbo?
We traded with Efik,Ibibio and other neighbours,why are they not speaking Igbo?
Arochukwu man for 'example' once he finds himself in Rivers state will change his name to tamuno but maintian his Igbo language then Ijaw people will claim he is an Ijawman.Even the Chief in that video confessed that none of them can speak Ibani language.
You are forcing a dead language to a reluctant population who already have a mother tongue they speaks and pass it from generation to generation.

Gajagojo:

He did not say there was

He said Rivers people

Was there any such thing as Biafra before Nigeria?
The way you construct specious argument that seem wise in your eyes is funny
Rivers people are the same today as they were 50 years as long as it is clear what specific territory we are talking about .

There has never been anything like AN Igboland country in history so how do we then manipulate that fact to suit our current argument?

Coolgent:

Chai Wike is wicked

press9jatv:
😂 Sim is an ogoni man

press9jatv:
Wetin this one dey talk. This is not the clueless weak coward Ambode here. This is Fubara, An ijaw man dealing with Wike case very well. This is not Ekiti where you will just be blowing propaganda in any way you want. Wike will be thoroughly dealt with

JagabanB:

All these one eyed analysis on social media don't hold any water.
