The Rise of Ijaw Identity Under My Leadership

By General Ditari (Ditari Ijaw)

Under my leadership that is fast taking over in everything Ijaw, our culture must be honored and restored to its rightful place of pride. The Ijaw nation is vast, ancient, and powerful — a people whose influence stretches far beyond what many imagine.

Tompolo, Asari, Ateke, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GEJ), Omoyele Sowore, even Governor Fubara of Rivers and Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa — they all know me. The name General Ditari or Ditari Ijaw has become a symbol of awakening among our people.

Many think the Igbos are larger than the Ijaw, but that is a misconception. The Ijaw nation spreads uninterrupted from Ore on the way to Lagos, all the way to Calabar — from Furupagha in Odigbo-Ore to Ibaka in Obolo-Oro, Calabar.

These are the Ijaws many do not know, yet they exist in their millions, carrying our heritage across regions.

Notable Ijaws You May Not Know

Nnamdi Azikiwe (Zikiowei):
Born to an Agbere father from present-day Sagbama LGA Bayelsa and an Onitsha mother. His father never lawfully married the mother, who took him to her place and added the name Nnamdi.
Despite the popularity of Nnamdi Azikiwe in Nigeria, Have you ever wondered why the name Azikiwe isn’t as common among the Igbos as Emeka or Okoro?

Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu (Burna Boy):
His father hails from Ogbogolo Kingdom in Ahoada West, Rivers State — true Ijaw blood. His mother is Yoruba.

Late Majekodunmi Fasheki (Majek Fashek):
A proud son of Odoni in Bayelsa State.

Omoyele Sowore:
From Apoi West Kingdom in Ondo State. The Apoi Kingdom is historically and culturally Ijaw.
There is also Apoi Kingdom in Southern Ijaw LGA of Bayelsa.
We call that one Apoi East to differentiate it from the other half in Ondo same Apoi.



Arogbo in Ondo is also in Bayelsa.
Same Gbaran.
Same sets of Communities.
Most Ijaw Kingdoms of Ondo, Edo, Delta have same names with the ones in Bayelsa.
Sowore himself knows his Ijaw roots well.



Dandizzy: Darius Tuwotamuno Isaiah from Opobo, same Community with Rivers State Governor is being mistaken for Igbo many at times.


The Ijaw story is deep and far-reaching. We are everywhere — in culture, politics, art, and leadership. Under my leadership, the Ijaw identity will no longer be hidden. It will be celebrated, honored, and recognized for what it truly is — the foundation of greatness in the Niger Delta and beyond.

There is also Annie Idibia who endured for years. I am not even sure Tuface had to beg her. Only to be kicked out at 40yrs. Una still blame Annie Idibia. So make una try rest with these stories aimed at gaslighting women to see infidelity as normal. If she was cool with him, she should have stuck to him. Some women have done it and heaven didn't fall.

I saw a male Body laying lifeless today on airport road. It was likely a hit and run incident. He was to check in his flight due for take off for 2pm by 8am today via Egyptair. His phone wasn’t in sight so it must’ve been stolen. Attached is his international passport. pic.twitter.com/9ehB1ieKRA

Good day, Nairalanders.
Please, I need your honest opinion on this matter.

I met this girl about a year ago when I went to purchase some goods at her workplace. She was really caring and even helped me carry some of the goods to the roadside. When I tried to tip her, she refused.

At that time, I was living in Ivory Coast, so after returning there, I chatted her up and expressed my interest in her. She initially agreed to date me but later changed her mind.

When I later visited Nigeria, she came to see me at my hotel. However, she didn’t allow anything intimate to happen. On several occasions when she visited, each time I made a move, she would walk out without even asking for transport fare. I would always call her back to ask why she acted that way, but her reasons were never clear.

Still, I kept supporting her in my own little way, even though I knew deep down she might never accept me. When I started getting tired of the situation, I told her I was moving on.

At this point, I had already rented an apartment close to the Benin Republic border — I chose that location because the electricity is stable and the rent is paid quarterly, with no agency fees.

Last week, she chatted me up asking if I didn’t want her to visit. I told her I did, but that I’d prefer someone who could spend a few days with me. She agreed to spend two days.

However, on the morning of the day she was supposed to come, she messaged me again, saying she had changed her mind and wouldn’t be sleeping over — but that when she came, I could “ask for anything.” Long story short, she eventually came, and that was the first time we had sex.

Now here’s where the issue starts.

She currently lives with her biological sister and a female friend. When she came, she told me that she, her sister, and their friend wanted to move in with me because they didn’t have money to rent their own place. I actually liked the idea and agreed. I even spoke with her sister about it.

But now, her sister and their friend have changed their minds. They say they prefer to move back to the East rather than come live with me. I even offered to pay three months’ rent for them in a similar apartment here, but they still refused.

Mind you, the reason I wanted them to move closer was so they could find something doing here — unlike their current situation, where they’re broke and dependent. Whenever I send my girlfriend ₦15,000, it barely lasts two days because she’s the one taking care of the rest since they’re not working.

How long can this continue?

Now, my girlfriend isn’t really the problem — her sister and their friend are. They don’t want her to move in with me, and she also can’t make any move without their consent. I’ve now decided not to rent any place for them in Lagos.

Nairalanders, what’s your take on this?

Why Military Coup Is Hard in Nigeria


I once asked a recently retired Major General in the Nigerian Army why coups no longer happen easily in Nigeria. He explained that things changed drastically after the attempted coup that nearly claimed the life of former military ruler, Ibrahim Babangida.


According to him, the military intelligence system was completely overhauled after that incident. It became so advanced, sophisticated, and deeply embedded across all security units that planning or executing a coup today is almost impossible without being detected early.


That’s why, since that time, Nigeria hasn’t witnessed a single successful coup.




He said Babangida called Abacha to save him that it was Abacha that saved him from the shame and what later happened was agreement between him and Abacha.


Say Babangida was under one underground road at Dodan Barracks Lagos that the Military already took over and Abacha sent thousands of troops from outside to come in when he sent save our soul to Abacha


After the coup, Babangida immediately took FCT to North where he feels safer .
Tinubu can run it to Lagos where he feels safer too.
