What is the meaning of oyigbo?

How can you know when you’re not from Oyigbo?

So you don’t know the meaning and you went ahead to rename it to suit your block head?

composure:
See what Nnamdi kanu has caused the people of Obigbo while he is very free in London.

Oga it’s Oyigbo not Obigbo what is wrong with you igbos?

You see how you invite hatred for your people?

How can you rename a local govt area oyigbo to obigbo?

What kind of expansion is that? Is South east not enough for you people?

When we call you people attach by force you will get pissed.

The people of Oyigbo have never called it Obigbo or written to the Rivers state house of assembly to change the name to Obigbo, it’s only you igbo migrants that keep calling it Obigbo, what kind of foolishness is that?

gidgiddy:


Obigbo/Oyigbo is just a typical example of the cluelessness of the country called Nigeria. There is nothing that happened in Oyigbo that did not happen across the South of Nigeria during the ENDSARS protest. Almost every state in Nigeria experienced the burning of Police stations, destruction of property and loss of lives on both sides.

So why is it just Wike that is shouting terrorism, proscribing people, imposing long curfew and inviting military? Its all about politics

What happened in Oyigbo was a combination of a 3 way battle between Oyigbo residents, Northerners and the security forces. Add ENDSARS protest to that mix.

But the narrative of the idiot called Wike is that IPOB just got up one morning, with no provocation, started killing people and burning down Police stations and killing Police/Army


Someone is claiming that IPOB killed Police and Army, snatched their weapons. But the same person has not mentioned the name of the security forces killed, no picture of them, no details of how they were killed despite being armed, and no corroborating evidence that IPOB did this

Just a mere statement. What is that? It is terrible because if it is just mere statement is all is needed to criminalise a group or a person, send military to an area, kill people unnecessarily, then the Nigeria we see today and its democracy is nonsense

Where did they attack Hausa truck drivers and burning down of the goods coming from the North during the EndSars protest?

Where did they attack Hospital and place roadblocks in extorting money from individuals?

But all this happened in Oyigbo and stop calling it Obigbo there is nothing like that in Rivers state.

Unik3030:
Isn't it funny how nobody is talking about Nnamdi Kanu who ordered boys to destroy properties but blaming others

My brother it’s really funny

All you see them do is condemned the military for restoring peace but that should not exclude the fact that innocent people are also suffering from the present predicament there.

But what the govt is doing by deploying soldiers including tanks with the curfew on ground is to scare/deal with these IPOB miscreants to the point that the Igbos will never consider raising any flag or holding any meeting in not just Oyigbo but in the entire Rivers state.

I’m sorry for the indigenes there, but this is an eye opener for them to secure their communities and report any IPOB gatherings to prevent a repeat of what is going on now in their communities.

The Arabic Writing:

The Arabic text on the Nigerian Army logo is, "NASRUNMINALLAH" which means "VICTORY COMES FROM GOD ALONE." The motto was formerly that of the great jihadist, Uthman Dan Fodio, Head of the Sokoto Caliphate which was inscribed by the British under Lord Lugard.

I think it doesn’t look good for an arabic text to be used on the logo of the army when arabic is not our official language.


This is not suppose to cause issue, why can’t southerners in the senate change it to english which is our official language?

AwkaFinest:



What kind of big fat lie is this? Only Igbos and those who have lived with Igbos call Oyigbo as Obigbo. Biko make we dey talk truth always.

Thank you!

Members of the Rivers State caucus of the National Assembly have affirmed their support for measures taken by Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, to rein in the Indigenous Peoples Organization of Biafra (IPOB) in the State.

The lawmakers said they unconditionally stand with Governor Wike on every actions he has taken to preserve lives and properties of all residents in the State.


Leader of the caucus, Senator George Sekibo, stated this when he led members of the caucus on a solidarity visit to Governor Wike at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Friday.

Sekibo explained that the caucus had been impressed with efforts and commitment of the governor in the handling of EndSARS protest and the aftermath. According to him, while the governor had ensured that the protest was peaceful, traducers and enemies of the State masquerading as IPOB decided to cause mayhem; kill innocent residents and even security officers; destroy properties of the State and citizens, especially in Oyigbo, Obio Akpor and Port Harcourt Local Government Areas.

“As a caucus, we want to state our unalloyed support for your re-affirmation of the proscription of the Indigenous Peoples Organization of Biafra (IPOB)in line with the categorisation of the group as a terrorist organisation by the Federal Government”

“We also want to unequivocally state that Rivers State cannot and will never be annexed by any group, organisaiton or person(s) whatsoever, as we are Niger Delta people and will always stand for the course of the Niger Delta, her people, dreams and aspirations”, he said.

Sekibo emphasised that if the powers that be had listened when in 2016 the Governor called the attention of the world to the atrocious activities of the default Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SAR) in Rivers State, the nation will not have suffered the colossal loss of lives and properties during and after the protest.

In his response, Governor Wike lauded the caucus for the solidarity visit and reaffirmed that he will continue to do all that is required to protect and defend the State.

He explained that members of IPOB capitalised on the contiguousness of Oyigbo to Abia State to invade the community and unleash violence, resulting in the death of six soldiers and four policemen.

The governor who vowed that IPOB will never be allowed to exist within Rivers State, reiterated that law abiding Igbos and other nationalities shall continue to live and do business in the State unmolested.

He reiterated that if the Federal Government had not politicised security, steps should have been taken to checkmate the notorious activities of the default SARS. He further blamed politicisation of security for the reason why the State’s Neighbourhood Watch has not taken off.

The Governor assured the lawmakers that when the State receives the N78billion refund from the Federal Government, the money will be judiciously used for the benefit of the entire State.

Furthermore, Governor Wike declared that he will supervised the employment of 5000 youths into the State Civil Service in order to ensure that no community, ward, Local Government Area was marginalised.

We don’t have Obigbo in Rivers state, what we have is Oyigbo.

You igbos are just too foolish and attach by force

24SEVEN:


I heard Igbos are Jews and they came from Israel. When are you going back to Israel. Leave Nigeria and go back to Israel.

It’s very funny. I use to think igbos are intelligent but I now understand that they just simply foolish and greedy combine together.

Prosperchuks1344 Is an example, i hope he and his igbo brothers will soon relocate to Israel since they come from there? Mumu boy

Odingo1:

Mr man you have not set your foot in Rivers state. You stay in Oshogbo and be writing trash about a place you not being to.

Typical igbo man.

You have been defeated

When you have been defeated and have nothing to say you start calling me yoruba, hausa fulani with insults.

Go and sleep, small boy.

You parents and Nnamdi kanu have lied to you igbos so deeply.

If we see any of your migrant brothers in Rivers state chanting Biafra or hanging any Biafra flag, we will deal with that person very very well that he will wish he was never IPOB.

Very soon other Niger delta state will follow the step of Rivers state.

Odingo1:

It shows indeed that you are an impostor and not an Ikwere person. You have not even set your foot in PH because if you have you will know that everyone in Rivers state call that place on Obigbo and not oyigbo till date.

Mumu which everyone?

It’s you igbo migrants in Rivers state who call it Obigbo

How can Rivers people call it Obigbo including the indigenous people there and yet it had not been changed? You see how you mumu reach?

Attach by force you never tire? Lol

Prosperchuks1344:


Hey, stupid fellow, nobody is claiming anybody in south south...

Call your fellow benin-ikwere governor that he is killing obigbo indigenes that are ipob members to order....

Make una dey there dey shout Ipob up and down..

By the way, what's Ikwerre ppls population in rivers state, I want to calculate something...

What is Obigbo? Lol

What we have in Rivers state is Oyigbo and the people did not complain about the name.

You igbos have come with your obigbo. Go and look for your Obigbo in landlocked Biafra land.

Attach by force no shame

Prosperchuks1344:


but yorubas are claiming bini and itshekiri ppl, you most be stupid for typing this rubbish...

So because they are claiming them you want to foolishly do the same?

Go and carry out your biafran activities in Rivers state let me see

gidgiddy:


This one got me laughing. Telling Igbos that they are not Igbos. Oyigbo/Obigbo that used to be in the old Aba province and was carved into Rivers state after it was created in 1967. Now someone is coming to tell then that they are no longer Igbos because they are now in Rivers

Delta and Edo state was with the Yorubas in Western region but now in South South, have you seen the yorubas claiming Edo/Delta are yorubas?

You igbos are just daft and brainwashed by your Nnamdi kanu. I weak for your kids

Colonelswitz101:

It's bn over a week since the endsars protest slowed down, the nigerian Fulani army have bn going house to house and killing indiscriminately. They come into streets and shoot like ten to fifteen round upwards n shooting two or three round below roof level into the streets. This has bn their routine for the past one week. People are dieing from stray bullets everyday here

False alarm. Why not make a video record to proof your claim since you see them carry out these shootings?? Stop spreading fake news.

My good people of Oyigbo local government in Rivers state, i am very concerned about what is happening in Oyigbo local government because i know a lot of innocent people are currently suffering due to the presence of IPOB miscreants in your land.

This is because you people have allowed this IPOB migrants operate in your communities with full audacity to the point of burning down police station and killing of fellow Nigerians from the North.

This is not acceptable because if your brother is being killed in the North you will never be happy with it especially when the northerners that are being killed have no link with these corrupt politicians ripping the country, they are only truck drivers looking for their daily bread only to be killed by tribal bigots who have turned terrorist. I sympathize with them including the innocent Oyigbo people that might have been killed due to retaliation from the Hausa community.

My Advice To Prevent A Repeat Of the Current Situation:

Oyigbo people, Rivers state is not igbo land, we only have igbos doing business in Rivers state, name and language similarities between two tribes doesn’t make one the other, it only shows evidence of intermarriage and trade relationship between the two tribes over the years but can never eradicate the true ancestral history of the indigenes.

1. Work with the security agencies and help them identify these IPOB migrants in your land. Ensure that ipob do not carry out any meetings or stand any IPOB flag in your land.

2. This will make the government understand that you’re not part of them and want them out of your communities which will make the job easier for the security agencies.

3. Have you wondered why there are no IPOb crisis in other parts of Rivers state? It’s because we don’t harbor criminals, we don’t tolerate these IPOB migrants.

Please ensure that you help the security agencies fish out these IPOB migrants in Oyigbo local government while the government works to call off the curfew in the next few days.

Trust me if you indigenes allow these Ipob migrants to repeat the crisis they caused in Oyigbo, it will be more difficult for you innocent Oyigbo indigenes.

Safe your land from IPOB migrant terrorists from Eastern Nigeria to Oyigbo land in Rivers state, Niger delta.

God bless you.

lastempero:
Na today wike abandon obigbo, i dont understand the xrime obigbo people commit. No rivers govt have ever remembered them

What we have in Rivers State is Oyigbo, you igbo migrants what is your problem, why rename the local government? Can’t you read??

Are you more intelligent than the Oyigbo people itself who are happy with the name Oyigbo, what is you igbo people problem?

AFTER THIS RANTING LIKE A DERANGED ANIMAL, BY WIKE, FROM IKWERE CLAN ON IGBO LAND.


SEE SMALL BOY THAT LOST HIS LIFE.



WIKE HAS A SON RIGHT? WE SHALL SEE.

God forbid that Ikwerre is a clan or any part of ikwerre is Igbo land. Don’t take this for hate, i can’t sit and watch you rewrite my history, never.

This tribal conflict you igbos are looking for it will turn bloody oh and your people in Port harcourt will feel the heat.

Concentrate on your igbo land, ikwerre was not and will never be igbo. We know our history, not the one written on Wikipedia and other online platforms who have not verified from the ikwerre people in their homes across ikwerre land.

The great Benin Kingdom is our ancestral home of we the Iwhuruohna (ikwerre) people.

Wisdom18:
The Igbo speaking people in river state,kogi,Edo,Delta,akwaibom,benue,crossriver will not waste time to join their brothers in the hinterland to form an homogenous nation called the UNITED STATE OF BIAFRA you know why,the will avoid the risk of beinging minorities in the hands of the ijaws,efiks,ibibios,ogonis and urhobos who are almost igbophobic in nature in the so called NIGER DELTA,No Igbo speaking tribe in nigerdelta will like to be called a minority under the majority ijaws,ibibios and urhobos in a country called NIGER DELTA republic

In Niger delta nothing like minority even up till date so there is nothing like minority in Niger delta.

It is in your fraudulent biafra with Niger delta people included that you igbos will be majority while niger delta tribes would be seen as minority.

Eastlink:
Shut up your mouth. You are not from Rivers state, you aboki. Na IPOB I blame for messing up.

Go and learn history and stop depending on Nnamdi kanu lies.

We know our history

TheDestroyer:
This wike really mean these biafuro flatheadss ooo. But I thought porthharcourt was part of biafuro, so what is happening now?

My btother they even said Port harcourt (Ikwerre land) will be the capital of Biafra lol

The Rivers Executive Council has approved the employment of 5,000 youths into the State Civil Service.

The approval was given at a meeting presided over by Gov. Nyesom Wike at Government House, Port Harcourt, on Wednesday.

Mr Kelvin Ebiri, the Special Assistant (Media) to the Governor, said that the government’s plan was announced to journalists by the Commissioner for Employment Generation and Empowerment, Mr Sylvanus Nwankwo.

Ebiri quoted Nwankwo as saying that the youth to be employed must not be more than 35 years old.

He said there were existing vacancies in the civil service needs: engineers, lawyers, medical doctors, technicians and other fields of the profession that the youths would fill.

Also, the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr Paulinus Nsirim, said that the recruitment drive undertaken by the Wike-led administration would bridge the employment gap in Rivers.

Nsirim also said that the council approved that civil servants that were asked to be working from home during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown were asked to resume work on Nov. 2.

“Civil servants on Grade Level 1 to Grade Level 10 who have been working from t home because of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown are to resume work on Monday, Nov. 2, 2020.

“ Similarly, bars that had been closed down since COVID-19 lockdown are to open, while night clubs will remain closed,” he said.

According to the Commissioner, the council also approved a minor cabinet reshuffle that moves the Commissioner for Chieftaincy and Community Affairs to take charge of the Ministry of Works.

He said the current Commissioner for Works would now head the Ministry of Urban Development and Physical Planning, while the commissioner he is replacing moves to the Ministry of Transport.

Nsirim stated that the current Commissioner for Transport would now be in charge of the Ministry of Chieftaincy and Community Affairs.

The Commissioner also said that the council decided that the Rebisi Flyover would be inaugurated on Nov. 7 by the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola.

I have good igbo Inlaws and friends in Port harcourt and other parts of Nigeria as an Ikwerre man, i love them no hatred but i want them to call their IPOB brothers to order before it is too late.

I want to sound this warning to the Igbos led by Nnamdi Kanu who have ordered his IPOB members to attack Gov. Wike my brother outside Nigeria whenever he flies out for government function.

1. We Ikwerre people are warriors, we are not the kind of people you can play such silly game with and expect us to keep mute. So Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB in general should get ready for our response in our own way which may be too bloody for the Igbos doing business in Port harcourt.

2. Gov. Wike is one of the leader and defender of the Niger delta people, and Rivers state and Niger delta at large will not take it lightly with any group or region who attacks our own.

3. IPOB activities in Rivers state remains banned and any igbo who have refused to be peaceful and law abiding in Port harcourt doing his/her business and choose to carry out the flag of IPOB or hold meetings in any part of Rivers state will be dealt with as all Rivers state youths have been given the order to identify these IPOB miscreants and hand them over to the security agency.

Be peaceful I repeat be peaceful and enjoy Rivers state while you do your business, enjoy our good roads and infrastructure else you will push us to the wall to make Rivers state unconducive for you.


God bless everyone.

Proeast2:


Igbos will knock sense into that his coconut head outside Nigeria and nothing will happen. He is a nut case and will be taught a lesson when he steps out of Nigeria.

Mind you that Igbos outside Nigeria don't play these nonsense SE/SS dichotomy. Igbo is Igbo outside Nigeria and both those in SE and those in SS will join hands to treat his fvrk up.

We will kill you igbos in Port harcourt in scores if you ever try such nonsense.

Ekweremadu that you people thought the so called lesson how has it affected him?

You’re all hopeless, go and engage the River state govt and Nigeria at large and stop your attach by force.

Shameless migrants

Depression goes beyond having a phone, data and completing the 3times daily meal....

Happiness is a feeling.....
Happiness is an emotion......
Happy faces look good.....
They always find their life in motion....
Depression is a phase.....
Depression is a disease .....
Once it gets inside you......
You are hard to please.....
Life is a blend of happiness and depression....
You find things great one time......the next time you meet deep emotion.......
Just don't loose hope yet....
You still have better days ahead to be grateful for.....

Create your happiness with the mindset that a lot of people out there will be so grateful to God if they can be in your condition.

Na you suffer pass? How ungrateful are you to your creator to take your own life!?

Na mumu dey commit suicide

When people wey dey prison for years come out they thank God for freedom of movement and association which go create opportunities for them to start from somewhere in life.

So sorry for the River state indigenes,we are not interested in your whole state,we only want our Igbo brothers who were forcefully annex to River state,we want our Biafra to be a homogeneous nation were we will enjoy peace and tranquility, nothing like militant,thank you

Name the ethnic groups you call your brothers and how they were forcefully included into Rivers state?

Do you know the history behind the creation of Old Rivers state (which is today Bayela,Akwa ibom, Cross rivers and Rivers) from Eastern Region Govt dominated by the Igbos??

Do you the role the ethnic groups played, how they fought for the creation of Old Rivers state from Igbo dominated Eastern region govt where the people were treated like second class citizens under Eastern Region govt dominated by Igbos?

Do you know the reason why Gov. Wike renamed Port Harcourt stadium and Aba Road to Gowon Stadium and Gowon road thanking him for creating Rivers state?
