Ranting of a igbo 419 criminal from Abia,you are yet to settle your land issue with Akwa iboms in abia, yet to settle your issue with Ghanaians,yet to settle your issue with South Africans. Yet you carry your wanted,unholy, cursed cain self into Rivers and start disturbing our peace.
There are no igbos in Rivers state any igbos in Rivers state are fvcking tenants they don't belong here, no ethnic group in Rivers state identified themselves as igbo no one.
Rivers people are not interested in any useless biafra,so don't bring your worthless Biafra a country of drug dealers, fraudsters,prostitutes,Ritualist,human traffickers,baby factories, producers of fake product to our state. Go and do your useless and worthless biafra nonsense in your shlyhole states, Abia, Imo, Anambra,Enugu and Ebonyi.
The day you igbos abi na ibo cursed descendants of Azazel carry your biafra nonsense enter Rivers state again,what happen in Oyigbo will be a child's playing compare to what will happen to you lost jews
Fvckuing pig.
It's obvious I hit a nerve from a drunk asawana chanting clown. At the appropriate time all the Ijaw/Izon migrants inhabiting P/H will be expelled back to their Kiagbodo swamps. Amaechi was about demolishing your eyesore batcha in waterside before Madam Patience for politically reasons stopped him. Only God knows what she saw in you homeless clowns that made her save the day. But your luck won't happen next time. The same way we accommodated you homeless gypsies was the same way we sent you packing to Bayelsa in 1998. No part of Rivers state have any connection with Ijaw miscreants.

You can look for the nearest transformer to hug we don't give a hoot. And for your information, I'm not a Biafran apologist. Biafra is a dead enterprise as far as I'm concerned. It's a dead end that scammers and evil men like Kanu resurrected to destroy the Igbo nation.

True Igbos have no interest in Biafra except never-do-wells and failures. There's no connection with Ndigbo and Biafra except that an Ijaw man suggested the name during the civil war. Moreso, there's no connection with Biafra and Rivers as many of us won't mind attacking any idiot that will raise the dead flag in P/H.

Igbos are patriotic Nigerians and will chat their own course as an independent state should the country divides. Unlike attachee by force Ijaw clowns landgrabbing everyone into a failed Niger-Delta enterprise.

May God bless you. Rivers state is already a no go area for IPOB clowns. We are ready to flush them out or even point their hideouts if they try their stupidity here. Since the SE say them go get sense by following the fraudster sheepishly, we too will be forced to close our borders to them.

The idiots abroad should continue contributing to IPOB purse na dem go tire. And in time, the federal government will start requesting their host countries to repatriate them back for funding terrorism. Nothing like ignorance. Even if it means pointing out my relatives in London paying their terrorist monthly dues we'll do it. Make no fool come and bring conflict to us.

Only the fast pace rate of the Badagry Express road is testimony to his ability as Governor. Dude has shut up his critics with the completion of projects everywhere in Lagos.

You Igbo man claiming to be from Cross river! Igbo cannot boost anyone's cv. Claiming somebody who is Igbo is something one will do reluctantly. It is a stain on us and not the other way round.

Why would we even claim Nnamdi Azikiwe when we have people like Ernest Ikoli who mentored Azikwe as an upcoming journalist?

If you know the history of the riverine areas around Asaba and Ontisha that is very plausible. Many of those areas happened to be vassals of Ijaw monarchs, mostly the king of Nembe.

With Ijaw fishermen and traders in the region, children are bound to be part of the interactions. Azikiwe adds no value to us.
Which King of Nembe? Is it the Nembe that was a vassal to Obi of Aboh. It was a known fact that the trio of Aboh, Oru and Benin fathered Nembe. Ijos were no were to be found during that creation and jumped from nowhere to populate Nembe. Check the Kings rulling Nembe from day 1 till today, virtually all had their maternal homes in Aboh. Again virtually all have Igbo middle names, which is a pointer that Aboh birthed the Nembe monarchy.

Lastly, Ijos had no guts to come down the Niger, the Oru's would have skinned them alive. Those who sailed the Niger were groups like Igala, with their military might connected to the Kwararafa kingdom.

Shut up your mouth Mr Afonja and stop forming innocent. The Ijaw deserve the brutality they are getting from the Igbos. Even you Yoruba's are not pure afterall we saw how you fought this same Ijaws in Ilaje, Ajegunle and Warri with your OPC.

But Igbos have never fought Ijaws before. Igbos have always stood behind the clannish Ijaws, yet they get hate in return. The Igbo are beginning to understand the memo by putting the Ijaws in their rightful place.

Are you sure about that? Where did Tonye Cole get his support from if not the upland? Was it not Amaechi that gave him the Governorship ticket? Who was to blame for Cole's failure at the poll? Kalabari should blame themselves. Afterall it was a Kalabari man in the person of Ojukaye Flag-Amachree that took APC to the court.

Kalabari should blame themselves after all Wike strongest support base is from there.

Are the Okrikans serious to become Governor? A tribe that is always at war with itself will give outsiders the rights to collect their inheritance. Until the Kalabari and Okrika unite, the Ikwerre will continue ruling. Even the Ibani, Ekpeye, and Ogoni stands a higher chance in ruling Rivers than the both aforementioned group.

Post any historical document by the colonial masters where Okrika identified themselves as Ijaws and you win. If Kalabari a bigger tribe where majority Okrikan sprout out from didn't identify as Ijaws, is it Okrika that will claim it.

For Nembe, they were an admixture of Ijaws, Benin, Aboh and Oru. Only that the mass migration of Ijaws overwhelmed others. It was in this particular section of Brass that the British pointed anything Ijaws. And it was still from this axis the Ijos continued their eastward march.

It is an outright lie you put out there. Adaka Boro only used military force to achieve what Biriye ( an Ibani Ijaw from Bonny) had championed for politically. Biriye inherited the Ijaw political struggle from his father who was the leader of a pan-Ijaw group that was established in the 1930s. His deputy happened to be an Ijaw from the Okrika clan. The major financier was an Ijaw from the Kalabari clan.

Boro requested for 3 homogeneous Ijaw states, Bayelsa was seen as a step in that direction. The Ijaws who remained in Rivers state didn't remain because their Ijaw identity is in question. They remained because Rivers state and Cross river state were two non-Igbo states created out of the defunct eastern region.
Ok! I’m aware that Biriye headed the Niger Delta Congress - a party that emerged to challenged the NCNC. He emerged the same time the COR movement was gaining ground. Biriye was unknown in even Bonny his LGA, failing politically and using the civil war as an opportunity to become relevant by spreading Igbo hate. And looking at the name of his party, one could see he might have influenced Adaka Boro uprising, looking at how he used the name Niger Delta for his short-lived republic.

Biriye is a Finima man who by origin and language has Ijaw connection. Finima speaks the Kalabari language. Any wonder why he spearheaded that movement and helped supplant the strong Igbo connection of those in Grand Bonny.

The Igbos really have a strong problem in their backyard as everything Ijaw struggle seems to be hinged on Igbo antagonism. It didn't start today actually, it's been there since the time of the colonial masters.

There is no time Ijaw people in Okrika, Bonny, Kalabari or Opobo groups denied their identity. Rivers state just like Bayelsa is the creation of Nigeria. As an Igbo man what were you looking for on an Ijaw group if not spreading hate?

If you claim people who have Igbo roots hate Igbos, it means you can't be attractive to people who have no connection to you.

It just tells you Igbo are terrible beings.

Rivers Ijaw is just as Ijaw as those in Bayelsa or Ondo. All these states were created for administrative reasons. Everything about Igbos is fake, you can't even stick to your Igbo identity. Even a place as ordinary as Facebook you shamelessly display your dishonesty.
When we say there are no Ijaws in Rivers state, it's not out of fiction. It’s reality. Ijaw were only know to be indigenous to Southern Bayelsa and South Eastern Delta, no pun intended.

Kalabari, Okrika and Ibani claim to be Ijaw happened due to coercion and force. Ibani own was even subtle as they had to claim Ijaw to avoid the onslaught of the 15th Brigade. And all this occurred all thank to survival tactics the three groups displayed after the war. The three aforementioned groups, inclusive of the Abuans and Oduans were never part of Isaac Boro Niger-Delta republic. If P/H Ijaw can provide the map where they were included, then he wins.

This was why during the creation of Bayelsa in 1998, the three group rather clamoured for Port-Harcourt state with the rest of the uplanders. Nembe would have remained in Rivers state but the pro-Ijaw forces in that section dragged her into Bayelsa - the likes of Diette-Spiff and Alagoa.

Secondly, in the old eastern region there was nothing like Ijaw language. The only language spoken that was mutually intelligible in the old Degema division was Kalabari. As a matter of fact, it was the major language spoken after Igbo. Kalabari was even among the 6 approved languages spoken in the old Eastern region, and it was in this language that Cardinal Rex Lawson sang. If in doubt check the major languages spoken in the Eastern region and you’ll see the following in that order.

1.Igbo
2. Efik
3. Ibibio
4. Kalabari
5. Ejagham
6. Ogoni

Gidigidy remind me of my brainwashed uncle in London who claims to be a Master’s degree holder but dude is too dull when it comes to Nigerian history. I began to doubt his education the moment he suggested I join IPOB to fight a war of liberation of Igboland against the Fulani herdsmen. Dude is in overseas enjoying life but want me to turn my home into a battle field. And when I ask him basic questions like, military tactics, funding, weapons and international allies dude began to blab.

Tobrasky:
The summary of Isaac Boro's short, intriguing but miserable life in that war was that he wanted to be bigger and more ambitious than his master (Adekunle) in the game of megalomania and power play, but he forgot his place, he failed to understand that he was just a mere minority Ijaw man who was just opportuned to have been given a Brigade command structure to lead, and a substantive rank of Major in Adekunle's Third marine commandos to help in the "liberation" of Rivers state after been released from detention by Gowon. Adaka's surprising rise to such unexpected spotlight got into his head, and he thought he was "THE MAN OF THE MOMENT" after he and his 15th Brigade succeeded in "liberating" some parts of Rivers state with his vast knowledge of the terrain... for a while it seemed like Boro was the man if the moment as he was able to accomplish what the Federal troops from the other units failed to do with the cost of heavy losses in men and materials. Adekunle just wouldn't let this ordinary minority man (a renegade for that matter) take away the spotlight of fame and attention from him... Boro was just a pawn in the game and after he was allowed to do all the dirty work for Adekunle, he was later killed at Okrika sector I believe by Adekunle's henchmen... gunned down by friendly fire from the rear in the heat of battle and left to die. At the end the bigger man in the game from the majority ethnic group (Adekunle) won and he took all the glory for the guts and efforts of another man.

After Boro's death, his Ijaw soldiers of the 15th Brigade were to be used as cannon fodder in Adekunle's final push into the Igbo heartland, and as expected they were crushed, massacred, captured and consequently disbanded all in a suicidal bid to capture Igboland, the nonsense Boro and his men got away with in the COR states (Calabar, Ogoja, Rivers) where they had massive support from minorities in killing so many innocent pro-Biafran minorities was duly avenged when they stepped into Igboland to wreck havoc... thanks to warriors of Colonel Achuzia, Captain Iheanacho, Timothy Onwuatuegwu, Asoya etc... Ijaws and thousands of Nigerian soldiers were decimated like rats in the battles of Owerri, Umuahia and Aba.
The Biafran army messed up by her cowardly act in the COR areas. Biafran sympathizers were left unprotected and allowed to be killed easily. It started from Bonny where the Navy shelled for days. During those shelling the Biafran jets or ship were missing in action. Bonny was left undefended to the surprise of the Nigerian army. It was in Bonny that the Nigerian military perfected their plans for other rebel held territories. Calabar fell next with the same shelling carried out in Bonny.

After Bonny fell the Nigerian government made Ken Saro-Wiwa the administrator of the Island. It was during this period that the divisive programme was test run by the likes of Biriye, Boro and Saro-Wiwa. After Bonny was captured, P/H became next as the shelling became profound for weeks. And guess what after P/H fell, the same divisive tactics that happened in Bonny was orchestrated in Kalabari, Ogoni and Ikwerre. Brother against brothers and sisters against sisters. How do you now expect morale to be high among Rivers people?

Had the Biafran army shown the commitment they showed in the hinterland, they won't have easily lost the support base of the locals. No one will support a Biafran army who failed to protect them against the Nigerian army. In fact it was safer to support Boro’s 15th Brigade than go against it. Showing opposition to Boro was instant execution, but supporting it means survival.
