Peter Odili was the first civilian governor of Rivers State, (1999-2005),
His wife Mary was and still a practicing lawyer.

How Peter Odili suddenly turn to an Igbo man is what I am not understanding again!

Please understand Dr. Peter Odili is Igbo man from Rivers State.

Rivers state not igbo, south-south

Ndoki are Ijaw people and it is Oyigbo not Obigbo .

Ndoki are Ijaw crap can only be a truth if Ndoki are regarded as one of the progenitors of Ijaw. It is foolish to replace Obigbo with Oyigbo. I was born and raised in this neighborhood and it remained Obigbo until 1976 when the landmark was carved out of Asa County (Ukwa LGA) into Bori LGA.

The Igbos who have decorum don't seem to be interested in the happening in the region.

If the so-called decorum amounts to the share of space with backbiters and perennial betrayal artists in shithole called Nigeria, I honestly do not want any part of it. Ndigbo have inherently decided to move away from Nigeria. It must happen.

Pride they say goes before a fall.sometimes in life a person,or group people may not know that they are fast drifting to a fall.the simple reason for this ignorance is the presence of PRIDE in the life of those I mentioned earlier.we were told of how pride dethroned Lucifer.. pride & arrogance was what led to the fall of the great Roman empire! time & time again we are warned of the dangers of pride & arrogance.with this in mind & my observation especially on this section of nairaland,I beg to ask: Ndigbo,are we making the right steps?..a day hardly passed without you reading Igbo this, or Igbo that.Ndigbo are we at war with everyone?.. ALMOST EVERY DAY,WE ENGAGE THE YORUBA'S ON TRIBAL WAR.. ANOTHER DAY IT'S THE TURN OF HAUSA FULANIS..YET ANOTHER DAY,WE ENGAGE THE NIGER DELTA..IF WE ARE NOT ENGAGING THOSE TRIBES,WE ENGAGE OURSELVES BETWEEN,ANAMBRA vs IMO...NGWA vs ABIA..etc.Ndigbo are we sure we have not DRIFTED? we have forgotten this Igbo adage;OJEMBA ENWE ILO!..a journey man doesn't have enemy!we travel widely on a daily basis.is it how we are going to live with those we travel daily to there region? NDIGBO LET US PAUSE & LOOK OUR SELVES IN THE MIRROR.

If Ndigbo were proud and had fallen, why the silly insinuation of pausing? If the quest for self-determination has resulted into being proud and fallen, I had worn it as a pride of honor. It is beyond the rank of human intellect to fight a person whom you hated so much yet would not allow the person split from you. The only crime Ndigbo committed in Nigeria was the leadership they provided in Biafra. Until I take my last breath, I shall support whoever wants the disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria.

President Buhari Has Done More For Igbos Under APC Than PDP" - Nollywood Actor, Kenneth Okonkwo | #IgbereTV

Popular Nollywood Actor, Kenneth Okonkwo has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has done more for Ndigbo Nigeria under the All Progressives Congress, APC, than the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

IGBERE TV recalls that the veteran Nollywood Actor had contested for governor of Enugu State in the 2019 election but failed.

In a post on his official Instagram page, on Tuesday, Okonkwo cried out over the operation of Fulani Herdsmen in Abuja.

He said :

“This is why ranching is both desirable and inevitable. How can humans and animals be struggling for a right of way in the Federal Capital City of Abuja?” the actor had asked.

“We must move on to the 21st-century system of animal husbandry to reduce tensions between passers-by, commuters, farmers, and herdsmen.”

A critic replied at the actor, putting it to him that he had campaigned for Buhari-led administration.

In his reply, Okonkwo stated that he is still proud to have campaigned “relentlessly” and supported Buhari’s government.

“Yes, I did and I stand by my decision. When I see that the second niger bridge is about to be completed. When I see that runway at Enugu Airport has been expanded to accommodate international flights,” the actor added.

“When I see that Enugu-PH express roads are being rehabilitated, when I remember all other things Buhari had done for the South East and remember that PDP was there for 16 years and did nothing for us.

“I am proud of the decision I took and I have no apologies for that. Nothing changed.

“I have been a strong advocate of ranching from day one. Just check through my antecedents. I support the truth at all times. I joined politics for the good of the people and will support good policies irrespective of party affiliation.”

I get completely flabbergasted when certain school leavers in Nigeria open their silly mouths. There are more than three bridges in the country which breached River Niger waterflow in Nigeria. None has been attributed to any ethnic group except the silly one which connected Asaba and Onitsha. Who told this ignoramus called Kenneth Okonkwo that Niger Bridge at Asaba/Onitsha is exclusive domain of the Ndigbo? The runway and express roads are expected responsibilities of the government. They are not achievements in the ledger of enlightened societies. What a dunce.

SlyDev:
I don't still care

You should have realized not to care before sleep-walking into the thread. What a junky.

SlyDev:
Your rants is impressive but do I care? nah

At this point in this discuss, who gives a ratass about what you cared?

SlyDev:
Tell me what culture your people have? inferiority reign supreme among you guys

Shut up your putid mouth for a second of the time. Returnees in Lagos never allowed the Yoruba (the silly Aroke) to become mayor of Lagos. They were ready to allow any other chap to become mayor of Lagos but Yoruba. It was a classification of inferiority driven home.

Ibani is a Subgroup of the Ijaw people.
Same with Nembe
Same with Kalabari
Wakirike etc.
Kalabari Subgroup of Ijaw are in Asari Toru akuku Toru and Degema LGA
Wakirike is in Okrika portharcourt city LGA and Ogu-Bolo Nembe is in Nembe and Brass LGA etc.
Ibani is in Bonny and Opobo/Nkoro LGA etc.
Ijaw is made up of different subgroups of Ijaw.
All Ijaws are from one Ancestor.

There is nothing such Subgroup of Ijaw people. The so-called Ijaw people are British porters from Akwapim-Togo region of West African. Ijaw have root characteristics pointed to Akwapim-Togo, Philipine, India, Portugal and Britain.

NDLEA said they suspected Baba Suwe to have invested cocaine on his way travelling out of the country to attend a function where he will perform as MC

NDLEA locked up Baba Suwe for many months giving him various poisonous drugs to ensure everything in his body is flushed out

After some months of continuous torture, NDLEA found nothing on him & subsequently released

Baba Suwe filed a case against NDLEA & won but till his last seconds on earth, he received no kobo from NDLEA as compensation awarded to him by Nigeria court of law

If Baba Suwe is a northerner, he would have never been subjected to such humiliation not to talk of not getting compensation of excessive continuous torture meted to him by NDLEA

We read a story about a northern girl saved by Nigeria government from far away Saudi Arabia at the expense of hardworking Nigerian tax payers money & same girl is now NDLEA officer

Yorubas needs to wake up & demand justice for Baba Suwe

Truly, Baba Suwe is dead but we need to get justice for him even in his death

I wondered aloud why Baba Suwe and ilk joined forces with northern region of Nigeria in1967 to fight eastern region of Nigeria.

I guess human intellect is very elusive to you. In your world, land mass decides a country.

[quote author= post=107827488]Months and days before the election Anambra State known as most peaceful state in Nigeria became like a war zone, violence in Anambra dominated media, even there was plan from the Presidency to declare state of emergency in Anambra, fears dominated minds in the great state, once is 6pm people will be rushing home, night life disappeared in our cities, on election day many eligible voters refused to come out and exercise their franchise, even during campaign rallies strong minds like me refused to be intimated by evil minds, we didn't allow those who wish us evil to have their way, we didn't succumb to their wishes, after the election the politically motivated unmen known gun has fizzle out.

Anambra state now is very peaceful.[/quote]Anambra State and Unmen Known Gun can be likened to tree and apple hence apples do not fall far away from the tree.

GodHatesBigots:
I am from the minorities. I've lived with the Igbos all my live and still do. I grew up with the Hausas as my closest neighbours and friends and I have friends who are Yorubas.

Many of my favorite people are Igbo e.g Chimamanda Adichie but mehn, are they loud and raucous. Lol. That aside, the Igbos are a people whose drive to “make it” has benefited the country and at the same time given them a bad name. This bad name comes from their reputation of being shady business partners who don't have integrity and their poor customer relationship. A typical Igbo business man cares nothing for you once your money has entered his pocket. Yes, there are Igbo business men who have integrity but in general, Igbo business men need to do better considering that many Nigerians would create their opinion of the Igbo people based on their dealings with Igbo business men since they are everywhere. That notwithstanding, I love the Igbos for their determination to succeed despite the odds and their ability to stick to their goals until they attain success. This determination is the reason nollywood is what it is today and the reason many Nigerians can afford new dresses and shoes(thanks to ABA boys). I also love them for their patriotism to the Igbo nation though I do wish it isn't done at the detriment of Nigeria.

The Hausa-Fulanis wrongly thought of by many as an all Muslim ethnic group is considered the largest ethnic group in the country. While the Fulani's are predominantly nomads, the Hausa's like the Igbos are also business inclined but unlike the Igbos, the average Hausa business man is known to speak the truth even to the detriment of his business. This explains why most Nigerians would rather do business with them hence their rise to power. People from minority tribes like Plateau state, before the recent spate of violence, trusted the Hausa's so much, they could entrust their lives and livelihood in their hands and sleep soundly. But you should know that there are dishonest Hausa people that I myself have encountered. maybe it is these dishonest people among who are currently causing a surge in the distrust of the Hausa-Fulani nationwide. I've told my Hausa-Fulani friends that their failure to call out the few among them who kill and maim for whatever reason is a sign of acquiescence but I digress. I love the Hausa-Fulanis for their simplicity and their ability to be grateful for little. The Hausa-Fulani have a high sense of the dignity of a job and do not consider any job to be beneath them. This is an attitude all Nigerians can learn from.

The Yorubas are known down here in the north for their “kolo-kolo”(there's no English word that can capture this word but we could go with shiftiness). Known nationwide for their love for education as well as “owambe”(parties), the Yorubas are perhaps the most diverse because they are in business, education, healthcare, artisanship, etc. I love the Yorubas for their rich culture and their ability to sustain the Yoruba language despite being the most educated ethnic group.

As a whole, I think each of these major tribes feels superior to to the other and thus entitled. We see this in national politics. I think they sometimes forget that Nigeria belongs to every Nigerian. Most importantly, I think each of this major ethnic group tends to be more interested in promoting its interest at the national level than the interest of Nigeria and this shouldn't be.

There you go, that's my opinion of the Hausa-Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba people of Nigeria.

P.S: There are always exceptions to any generality.

https://qr.ae/pGmUEa

There no iota of human intellect expressed in the above crap. By the way, there is no ethnic group in Nigeria known as Hausa-Fulanis.

According to the FG,, IPOB is not a peaceful organisation.
They are the cause of all the kidnaps and deaths in the South-East.

I guess the same FG led by a Boko Haram supporter. Nigeria is indeed a zoo.

NGWA Land are;
ABA north LGA,
ABA south LGA,
Ugwunagbo LGA,
Osisioma LGA,
Isialangwa north LGA,
Isialangwa south LGA..
Obingwa LGA...
...
As for Ukwa...it is made up of three tribes...Ngwa, Ndoki, ASA... although Ngwa is the minority...

Don't forget most Ndoki and Asa people are our political allies...
Nvosi part of Isiala Ngwa south is bigger than most LGA in Abia north...

Abia north is scantly populated except Ohafia LGA and Arochuku...

There is no so-called indigenous Ngwa in Ukwa. Ukwa is Asa and Ndoki period. I cannot consider Obiga as Ngwa. However Ngwa-Inyiekwe and Obegu are pure Ngwa.

It not our fault that our village is attracting immigrants faster than the govt is developing it...
If you are not comfortable with our son OKEZIE IKPEAZU then make use of the ballot box.. but remember we are the extreme majority... and we will prove it again just as we did before...

Please shut up your putrid mouth. Which extreme majority are you on about? How long did Abia State being in existence before your silly extreme majority wake up from slumber? If I had been born and raised in Abia State, you have been likened to certain loudmouths from certain section of Nigeria.

please you and all your cohorts who want to drag a powerful ancient people into your tribe, how do those different set relate
Thicksharon123 I also want you to answer.

I don't even know why I'm answering you people, I would have just keep shush and let you people continue in your deludedness.
I was enjoying nairaland without my account as a ghost viewer, but I couldn't let ignorant people annex by people into theirs.

deep down, I use to support Biafra and it's actualization and dreamt of a Nation were the resources will be used to develop and alongside the igbos who are good at commerce. I use to try convince a few elders and my fellow youths, and they see reason but they ALWAYS tell me the igbos are notorious for always trying to annex. that is the reason during the former eastern region time, the igbos dominated and saw other ethnic groups as under them while that wasn't the case.
now I understand what my elders use to say when they said the igbos ALWAYS want to dominate and claim, now I spit out that saliva I use to talk about a Biafra with the Niger Delta's.
you people are something else and now I see why you people want the Niger delta with you either by hook or crook, it is because you people want to have access to the ocean. form your 6 state nation and be landlocked away from the ocean ways forever.

These are definitely home to Akwapim-Togo region and Philippine.

ijaw (ijo) was the progenitor of the Ijaw people.
he had Gbaran his first son, Nembe, his second and other children who went on the form the tribes under ijaw. none of them speak ijaw but little can be heard when they converse because of the similarity.
I use to hear about your land grabbing etc, but I never knew it would reach my own Nembe. and you come craze talk say we sail from orlu and you want to make it linked to Oru...you must be daft. Oru is not a place in Nembe but a word. Oru means "juju"
yagbia' e no togubelemo' o... alendi' o.

I guess you meant Uju (Ujo) from Andoni. Please understand Ijaw is not ethnic group in the 1900s. Most Nembe peeps are Ugbo people (Boat people). I guess you understand what I meant by Boat people. Ijaw was derived from, among numerous sources, the name the Portuguese gave to the people who lived alongside the rivers in the so-called Niger Delta.

Am so disappointed in David hudeyin... Even given the fact that we come from same area in Lagos Badagry, how can he stoop this low taking about someone's mother? Two wrongs don't make a right, he needs to apologize to all the people that has praised him.. Am very upset about his comment, and the basir El rufial guy should please get off Twitter, he is becoming like Donald Trump, his father as much as most people don't like him.. In terms of work done in Kaduna, the man is really trying, security wise? That one has been there before he mantle Tha saddle.

You are not qualified to caution anybody. Must you bend to provide David hundeyin's PII? I guess no wrong has ever make a right therefore David should not give a ratass anyway.

Buhari have relegated obj,ibb and ty danjuma while wike and his pdp govs cemented it and chase away the general boys e.g atiku,saraki,oyinlola david mark,e.t.c

Come 2023 none of the general boys will smell pdp presidential tickets. Wike and pdp govs have decided their fates in the just concluded congress and conventions.

Ouk should first win election of 6 local govts in abia state before he can start talking of pulling strings in APC national politics.

Typical loudmouth which led the western region of Nigeria to join forces with northern region of Nigeria to fight eastern region of Nigeria. After the war, the expired milk cleverly soaked the loudmouth.

Two Weeks After It Blew, an Oil Well in Nigeria Is Still Spewing

An oil and gas well in southern Nigeria is still spewing its contents at least 14 days after it first blew, causing growing anxiety among the local communities that rely on the surrounding land and waterways.

The world’s oil and gas markets have been all but unaffected by the incident because the well in question had been capped and wasn’t producing. But community leaders are increasingly worried about its impact on people’s livelihoods.

A not-much-reported, 2-week-old oil spill in Nigeria reminds us of what is an ongoing problem in the country. The footage, shot earlier this week, was sent to us by a local community leader. It's still leaking.

Aiteo acquired the license from a consortium of oil majors headed by Royal Dutch Shell Plc in 2015. The sale price of $2.4 billion for the permit and a pipeline is the largest paid so far by Nigerian companies acquiring assets from their international counterparts. Spills, particularly from pipelines, are common in Africa’s largest oil producer.

Experts are now ready to start the work of sealing the well so that the cause and scale of the leak can be determined, Idris Musa, director general of Nigeria’s National Oil Spill Detection and Reponse Agency, said by text message. A spokesman for Aiteo declined to

ArewaNorth:
You are trying to bash Adesina and u unfortunately advertise ur deep ignorance. Kanu committed offence that allegedly broke Nigerian law and it is the responsibility of the court to try him irrespective of who put him under the trial. When u commit offence, u dnt just offend the country/person or an organisation but also violating a law which is a body under the responsibility of judiciary to protect. It is high time for NBA, NJC and other law upholding bodies to protest against any move by PMB to grant Kanu this will though President has this utmost power that he can exercise!

This explains why numerous Nigerian school leavers do not have jobs. Courts do not prosecute anybody or even "Try" anybody. Courts determines the legality or lack thereof. Prosecutorial duties lies with ministry of justice and other branches of law enforcement agencies. The crux of matter with this thread is separation of powers in a democratic system of government. The ministry of justice is a branch of executive while courts belong to judiciary. It is unfortunate Femi Adisana does not know and cannot strike a difference between the courts and ministry of justice. Nigeria must be disintegrated for a way forward.

Lol. Go tell someone that knows his right that he’s mad. Or go out today and call someone that can afford a lawyer a bastard. Let’s see if it’s a crime or not.
See me I’m a Yoruba and there’s one thing that defines us it’s respect. I read a post on Twitter that said a Yoruba man can live on respect for two weeks without food. I’m sure the other parts of the country respect their elders but you see for you people that don’t have leaders insolent is not a crime.
Let me try to roughly translate this Yoruba saying.
If a child killed a rat, he can eat it by himself. If he killed a fish he can finish it but when he catches something that’s really big. He will bring it home to his parents. That’s why it’s important to train your child in a way he should grow.
Yoruba also have a saying that goes; if your person is eating a bad insect and you refused to let them know they are doing something bad when the discomfort kicks in even you will not sleep. That’s exactly what’s playin out in the south East. Now everybody cannnot sleep because of one uncouth man that his own father called mental patient.

Which court in the world will sustain such rubbish except the ones in Nigeria. Real courts do not entertain hearsay.
