Lol.
You guys are very daft. Lagos can cancel all registered title issued to Igbos and you give you 5 thousand Naira as compensation. Nothing you can do. It is legal within the Land Use Act.

Meanwhile, nonsense talk like this will make SW not vote for Labour party. Not like Apc is relying on SE votes anyway.
Arabami will sink Labour party. By the time you discover, it will be too late simply because you're daft.
Let them cancel it and see if it won't cause a full blown war,I hope you won't run away shall.

In a tragedy reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, a couple in Nigeria killed themselves earlier this month after their parents had forbidden them from marrying because one of them was a descendant of slaves.

"They're saying we can't get married... all because of an ancient belief," the note they left behind said.

The lovers, who were in their early thirties, hailed from Okija in south-eastern Anambra state, where slavery was officially abolished in the early 1900s, as in the rest of the country, by the UK, Nigeria's colonial ruler at the time.

But descendants of freed slaves among the Igbo ethnic group still inherit the status of their ancestors and they are forbidden by local culture from marrying those Igbos seen as "freeborn".

"God created everyone equally so why would human beings discriminate just because of the ignorance of our forefathers," the couple said.
Many Igbo couples come across such unexpected discrimination.

Three years ago Favour, 35, who prefers not to use her surname, was preparing for her wedding to a man she had dated for five years, when his Igbo family discovered that she was the descendant of a slave.

"They told their son that they didn't want anything to do with me," said Favour, who is also Igbo.

At first, her fiancé was defiant, but the pressure from his parents and siblings soon wore him down and he ended their romance.

"I felt bad. I was so hurt. I was so pained," she said.

Prosperous but 'inferior'
Marriage is not the only barrier slave descendants face.

They are also banned from traditional leadership positions and elite groups, and often prevented from running for political office and representing their communities in parliament.
However, they are not hindered from education or economic advancement.

The ostracism often pushed them to more quickly embrace the Christianity and formal education brought by missionaries, at a time when other locals were still suspicious of the foreigners.

Some slave descendants are today among the most prosperous in their communities, but no matter how much they achieve, they are still treated as inferior.

In 2017, 44-year-old Oge Maduagwu founded the Initiative for the Eradication of Traditional and Cultural Stigmatisation in our Society (Ifetacsios).

For the past three years, she has been travelling across the five states of south-eastern Nigeria, advocating equal rights for descendants of slaves.
The kind of suffering that the black people are going through in America, the slave descendants here are also going through the same," she said.

Ms Maduagwu is not a slave descendant, but she observed the inequality while growing up in Imo state and was moved to tackle it after watching the devastation of her close friend who was prevented from marrying a slave descendant.

During her trips, Ms Maduagwu meets separately traditional persons of influence and slave descendants, then mediates dialogue sessions between the two groups.

"Men sat down to make these rules," she said. "We can also sit down and remake the rules."

Descendants of slaves among the Igbo fall into two main categories - the ohu and the osu.

The ohu's ancestors were owned by humans, while the osu's were owned by gods - people dedicated to community shrines.

"Osu is worse than slavery," said Ugo Nwokeji, a professor of African studies at the University of California, Berkeley, who thinks the osu were wrongly classified as slaves by the missionaries.

"Slaves could transcend slavery and became slave masters themselves but the osu for generations unborn could never transcend that."
Discrimination against the osu does tend to be worse.

While the ohu are marginalised as outsiders - with no known places of origin or ageless ties to the lands where their ancestors were brought as slaves - breaking taboos about relations with the osu is accompanied, not just by fear of social stigma, but of punishment by the gods who supposedly own them.

Favour's fiancé was told by his father that his life would be cut short if he married her, an osu.

"They instilled fear in him," she said. "He asked me if I wanted him to die."

'Grassroots engagement'
Such fears have made it difficult to enforce laws against discrimination which exist in the Nigerian constitution, plus a 1956 law by Igbo lawmakers specifically banning discrimination against ohu or osu.

"Legal proscriptions are not enough to abolish certain primordial customs," said Anthony Obinna, an Catholic archbishop in Imo state, who advocates for an end to the discrimination. "You need more grassroots engagement."
In her advocacy, Ms Maduagwu educates people on the various ways in which traditional guidelines on relating with the osu have been breached, "without the gods wreaking any havoc".

"Today, we are tenants in their houses, we are on their payroll, we go to borrow money from them," she said.

Such association with the osu would have been unthinkable in the past.

No official data exists on the number of slave descendants in south-eastern Nigeria.

People tend to hide their status, although this is impossible in smaller communities where everyone's lineage is known. Some communities have only ohu or osu, while some have both.

In recent years, increasing agitation from ohu and osu has led to conflict and unrest in many communities.

Some slave descendants have started parallel societies with their own leadership and elite groups.
About 13 years ago, the osu in Imo state formed a group called Nneji, which means "from the same womb".

Among the benefits that Nneji offers its thousands of members is arranging marriages between their adult children in different parts of the world, saving them the potential heartbreak of relationships with "freeborn".

"People come to you when they want a favour from you," said Ogadinma, a septuagenarian from a wealthy osu family, whose husband is a patron of the Nneji.

"But those same people, when your children want to marry their children, they complain that the person is osu."
Archbishop Obinna, who has been criticised for officiating at the weddings of what he describes as "mixed couples", said: "I have had to safeguard some of the couples from the violence of their parents and relatives."

Ogadinma, who also asked me not to use her surname to protect her family, faced discrimination when she ran for political office about 10 years ago.

Petitions poured in from people who said that she was "unsuitable" to contest - and the national leader of her party, who was Yoruba, found it difficult to support her, convinced that she stood no chance.

"He told me plainly: 'There is something Igbo people say that you are, which will not allow your people to vote for you.'"


Discrimination based on slave caste is not common among the Yoruba or Hausa, Nigeria's two other major ethnic groups. But it has been reported among some ethnic groups in other West African countries, such as Mali and Senegal.

Ms Maduagwu's Ifetacsios group now has four staff and about a dozen volunteers. The work has been slow and hard, but a handful of traditional rulers have embarked on the process of abolishing the inequality in their communities.

She says she was initially shocked by the attacks on social media from people opposed to her activism.

"I had to join a lot of Igbo groups to spread the message and a lot of them insulted me and told me that their tradition will remain."

Nollywood factor
Such attitudes even among the educated and enlightened are perpetuated by African literature such as late Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, Ogadinma believes.

"He was a person dedicated to a god, a thing set apart - a taboo for ever, and his children after him," Achebe, who was Igbo, wrote of the osu in his 1958 classic.

"He could neither marry nor be married by the freeborn… An osu could not attend an assembly of the freeborn, and they, in turn, could not shelter under his roof... When he died he was buried by his kind in the Evil Forest."

Ogadinma worries that Nigerian students around the world who read the novel as part of their curriculum subconsciously adopt traditional beliefs about the osu.

"If every generation of Nigerian children is reading about this osu, don't you think it will affect their thinking?" she said.

Nollywood also plays a part, according to Aloysius Agbo, an Anglican bishop in Enugu state, who advocates for an end to the discrimination.

Nigerian films have their dedicated TV channels, including the wildly popular Africa Magic.

"Beliefs that we already accepted as superstitious are now coming back as real truths because of what we watch on Africa Magic," said Bishop Agbo. "They do it as showcasing our culture but they are not conscious of the impact on society."

But with the recent Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests around the world, Ms Maduagwu hopes that more Igbo people will be inspired to change their attitudes.

"If more people will reflect that the agonising journey of the black Americans began here, the BLM protests will affect our work positively," Ms Maduagwu said.

"Africans need to look inwardly to see what is happening in their homeland."

In a state that the Ogonis have a higher stake, yet they've not ruled and you that has ruled want to rule again, we can't continue in this obvious marginalization.
Well, I got no time dragging you over something I already know the outcome. Come rain,come shine Magnus will be sworn in and let's see if the heavens will fall
No I'm supporting Peter obi,if not let atiku take it.
Obi is my first choice.
Secondly you know ogonis has little issue that they are clearing up.let them align with ijaws and the igboid in rivers state and it will be given to ogonis no other tribe will contest.
Ogonis are the last born of rivers state.
First is ijaw,second the igboid group and third is the ogonis.
Sim is winning these election and I know he will develop and help all rivers state including ogoni land.
If you are ogoni,we are brothers,but most rivers won't support Magnus he is a puppet to that condemned kriminal, okultic theif old and sick plus corruptt and tribalistik emilokan

I laugh because you don't know what's happening. Anyways go and ask what your demigod is doing with the Lagos man?

Keep the answer to your self
Magnus is a puppet to the okultic,drug baron, kriminal,sick old theiff.
It's ijaw turn again to rule and we have given the igbos 20 something years to rule rivers state.we no try.
Ameachi,omehi,odili and wile has ruled since.
Ijaws will rule and after ijaws it will go back to igbos again.
Ogonis our brothers need to settle and align with ijaws and igbos properly first.more I've Magnus is a puppet to the condemned okultic theiff,drug baron and sick old dying kriminal theifnuibu grin grin grin grin

Perhaps you'll be humble and learn, let me school you.

When Nigeria joined the other West African nations to clamour for Independence, our colonists (Brtain) decuded to hand over power to the Northerners (Perhaps because they were more gullible unlike the Southerners).

As it were, Yoruba and Igbos under the aeges of awolowo and Nnamdi
You don't get me.
Forget about that one for now.
Afonjas are partners with fulanix to dominate nigeria.while fulanix seek to conquer nigeria,afonjas is tasked to divide ss/se and to keep them down.
Afonjas are pretenderss, backstabbetrs and betrayalls.
And if atiku wins these election,it will be nearly impossible for a Southerner to rule again.brcause is officiall now sw is against ss/se both politically and spiritual.
Instead a yiru bad person will rule,let a dog rule Nigeria.

Tannhauser:
Prior to the APC primaries most Nigerians were in agreement that the current administration had failed. We all suffered the insecurity and inflation together.
What happened?

A certain candidate emerged and knowing he would be a hard sell to reasonable citizens immediately unleashed his propaganda machines. The same tactic that was used to destroy the ENDSARS protests, the greatest show of brotherhood of Nigerian youth from all tribes is being put to use today....Tribalism.

If Osibanjo had emerged the presidential candidate we all know that the other tribes would have voted for him...but now the shoe is on the other foot and this tribe is determined to plunge Nigeria into full blown anarchy because they want to support their tribesmen even when it is crystal clear even to the blind that said candidate is morally, mentally and physically unfit for that position.

For shame....For shame.
Believe me yoru badx are the most tribalistik nigerians even more tribalistik than the fulanix .
They hate nigeria and other nigerians.
If yoru badx simply insist that ss/se to have a working sea port and international airport so many things will be cheaper and more accessible to get.
If also they stand with other Southerners in truth and spirit we can help the middle belt.
But as it stands now the only people that truly fell for middle belt in their massacre is SS/se while the sw just want power to steal ss/se oil.
I will keep saying it,yoru badx are the problem of. Nigeria because for fulanix to dominate Nigeria they need partners and it is yoru badx that are there partners.even hausas are suffering just that religion blinds them.

If u be ijaw guy, then u suppose know say tribal politics in Rivers state is impossible

Rivers state has always been a "party is supreme" kinda state.

If not for Wike tyranny, nobody go reason tribal politics here.
thats probably because of how scattered we spread across the three senatorial districts.

Okirika is in rivers east
Andoni is in Rivers south east
while Kalabari is in the west.

How u think say e go deh possible to play tribal politics when governorship has been chosen through senatorial districts before Amaechi came
All rivers ijaws are eastern ijaws.imbnot talking of senetorial district.
Most people support government because of what they stand to benefit.
If not because you work for that kriminal I could have given opobo/andoni wassup group and you see what they are discussing.
Sim is from opobo/andoni and they are praying for him to win because of the promises he has made to his people.more over they have never been governor.ada George was okirika.
Tonye is not popular in rivers state and people hate apc with passion in rivers.more over dumu is also contesting and he is from kalabiri so that will divide Cole's vote.
Sim will win,followed by tonye Cole.
But if tonye can work with domu lulu briggs then distance theirselves from that kriminal Tinubu and apc.plus federal might they might win sim.
Also note wike didn't give open employment,pay graduity and has many enemies so if they can come together they might win sim.
Note/I didn't talk about Magnus because he has already failed apart from some ogonis no other side will he gets votes from, more over every one knows he is working for the hated Tinubu and we in rivers State are not Yoru badx fakke cowordly Muslimns one man will pocket and use as rag

I will chose atiku over that tribalistik,sick,old emiolokan.
As/se that don't vote obi will give atiku atleast the 25 percent needed.
If that kriminal Tinubu get 5 percent he should thank his numerous jujuj he worships that couldn't save him from peeing, vomiting and shitn on his own self undecided undecided undecided

No be to stay for Nnewi deh cap careless.

U are talking to an ijaw guy here.
I am Kalabari and there are alot of Kalabari people (even up to SS3 students) that doesnt know Kalabari is part of ijaw.

Because except online banter, we dont identify our tribe that much.

Its time u Obidients learn that Online and reality are two different things.
grin grin grin you are funny,maybe before.
Still yet a kalabiri man or woman knows they are related to okirika,abua,opobo,andonni and can even understand each other language.
So what are you saying.
The ijaw awareness is every where now.
And once sim or Cole becomes governor every ijaw will come together more.
I no want cap,but you suppose code say na ijaw man dey yarn u

You think people do Ijaw in Rivers State?
A kalabari man sees Andoni man same way he sees Ogoni.

Enter Rivers and u will know that the tribe ijaw no get strong foothold
Big big liar
The current iyc chairman is from opobo/andoni.and he organize all ijaws youth.
I repeat all ijaws see themselves as brothers.
Ijaws and ogonis even fight each other it was patiance that settled it.
The only tribe an average eastern ijaws see as brothers are igbos as most eastern ijaws like andoni and opobo even speak igbo.
There are. Majorly three tribes in rivers state incase you don't know.
Ijaws,igbos and ogonis.
Your plan for Magnus to steall rivers money and give to that okultic kriminal,drug dealer that pee,vomit and shitt on himself because of nemesis has failed.nmeen grin cheesy grin grin

Exactly bro but I doubt if Tonye Cole will win the 3 Kalabari LGA. Most Kalabari people I know don't really see him as one of them. Magnus will sweep Khana, Gokana, Tai, Eleme and most likely Andoni LGAs while SIM will come second in these places. Phalga/Obio Akpor voting bloc will definitely hand him victory. I pray the best man wins.
Do you even know the part of ijaw sim is from.
So andoni and opobo that has never been governor will leave their brother sim and vote Tinubu puppet so he can steal rivers money and dash to Tinubu and afonja fake Muslims.
Some of you working for that kriminal Tinubu seriously lack sence. undecided undecided undecided undecided

Fubara is what tribe
All the candidate are ijaws except Magnus who is ogoni
Magus wants to win rivers for the sick,corruptt Tinubu.so he can pocket rivers like how he enslave his own tribe and race.
Magnus will fail anyways,even sowore has a better chance to win presidency than Magnus to be rivers governor.

It will work.

Magnus will win Ogoni and PDP will come second

Tonye cole will win Kalabari and PDP will come second while Accord comes third and SDP comes fourth.

Thats all, guess who will win the rest part of Rivers state? its PDP ofcos.

I wish tonye cole could just step down and support Magnus
An ijaw man should step down to support Tinubu puppet and slavve.you are high.so that the corruptt theivenubu will rule rivers by proxy.do you think they are fearfull cowords like you afonjas.
I don't know why you cowords are slavves to that old corruptt pigg that poo,shitt and vomit on himself.
