Sometimes people on nairaland mistake myself, kinkyangela, spanishkid and some of us here on nairaland. I'm not a tribalist and I wasn't born a tribalist but due to the fact that some immigrants in our region are trying to cause trouble and grab our ancestral lands I've decided to stand up to them. They've been trying since time immemorial to igbonise the SS region but to no avail. They've even started renaming some of our lands. For example, Port-Harcourt is being called igweocha now. They've even gone as far as claiming Opobo and Ndoki as one of theirs. They've even tried forcing their identity on my Ikwerre brothers and Ika brothers.

Now I know that hausas and yorubas are not the problem with Nigeria but rather these cursed people across the Niger. Their only purpose in life is to try and claim other people's land. They tried doing so in the civil war and they were terribly dealt with. All thanks to the Nigerian army. They've tried using propaganda but to no avail. Our lands are not for mortgage.

Tonyebarcanista has finally seen them for what they truly are. That is, land grabbers who are not igbonise and steal our oil. As usual they started insulting him cos he spoke the truth. Nobody cares about their dam biafra. Niger Delta republic must stand.

It's time we start sending these roaches back to their region.

OP why re you wasting your time with those folks. If Nigeria should split, we can never be part of Biafra. I created an article of this such and they called me an impostor, one even said am from Osun State.

All Amaechi is coming to do is fight Wike and Rivers PDP

Buhari is Nigeria's most sectional president.
For that reason, he could not see beyond ethnic and religious lines for clean
and competent Nigerians to continue the transformation of Nigeria.

Wike is a small boy for Amaechi to fight. Don't even go there. Get over it, Jonathan lost and new Nigerian chapter has been open.

I hope Oba Akiolu and the 20,999,999 approximate inhabitants of Lagos are really dancing shoki now. You had a better chance of letting rival politics play the tune of Development well, but you lost it through partisan politics among others. I am sure this would not have been so if PDP was allowed in Lagos, as they would have buckled up to impress the opposition. Now who is to stop them now when they are themselves. All we keep hearing are town hall meetings, plans and worries, instead of sweaty hard labour.
Apart from the noise and constant fight, a man that marries 2 wives will enjoy great meals often. I hope Rivers State will learn from this malady.

Rivers State will learn how?

Things have really changed since he took over. I believe he is concentrating more on the plights of civil servants that were abandoned for years especially pensioners. He is also restructuring civil service but he shouldn't forget Lagos State is not a civil servant state. Is a business hub that requires the ground running from day. He thought he was doing good to the populace by banning the impounding of vehicles by LASTMA not knowing that most Lagosians are not not culturally civil, they need to be compel to obey. The traffic in Lagos is now meh, yesterday's own at Alausa and Maryland were just terrible. I just want him to hit the ground running. Ambode in times of infra structural development have been up and doing too. That ACME road he just fixed at Ikeja and other roads the state government have been fixing are really not been hyped. I blame his media team. Maybe the security situation has overtaken Lagosians psyche on his performances so far. He better do the needful.

carnegiefan:
When will Gowon apologise for an unnecessary war that killed 3 million people for nothing?
The war was totally unnecessary because Gowon could have simply implemented Aburi. He failed and instead started the war.
Fastforward 45 years after, Biafra is issue still very much around.
So why did Gowon launch that war?

Lions dey discuss, lizard wan join too. Smh

omogin:
Poor upbringing by your parents have made Nigeria worse by adding one irrational being to the populace. Keep licking amaechi ass. You should get fed somehow.

So I must abuse him and call him names like you do to please your useless life ba? So for not insulting or seeing him the way you do, I'm licking his ass. What even makes you think you re right? Get lost!

omogin:
Ass lickers like you are the reason for corruption in govt today. How much was the house boy amaechi worth before he became governor. Any of his businesses listed on the stocks yet? He suddenly becomes a multibillionnaire by answering the name governor rt?

And he told you he is a millionare you daft. Can you name his properties he has acquired. Why will you single out Amaechi for critism out of other nominees if you don't have personal vendetta against him for removing your hero.

omogin:
Expecting buhari's apology for saying abacha was not corrupt, and for allowing criminals like amaechi to be part of his govt.

Who made Amaechi a criminal? Your fat ass right huh??

These PDP fellas haven't learnt their lessons. That Amaechi they re fighting will eventually sink them. If am any of the PDP folks, I'll just wash my hands off the fella.

Bonny island as a whole is igboland, what part of that don't u understand...

My taxi driver from ph, an etche man, said he is an igbo man and will always die an igbo man.

So if biafra were to be tomorrow, port harcourt and bonny island will go, IJAWS HAVE NO POWER/SAY IN RIVERS, IGBOS ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE DOMINANT ETHNIC GROUP IN RIVERS STATE...

Wait am
in church, when am thru. I'll skul you.

Ikology:
Then drop the damn language!!! Oh you too speaks Igbo too
I feel your pain

Go back to the history of this thread and I think I've answered that.

Dhugal:
He was not made nor elected King by any Ijaw person,Jaja owned Opobo.It was,is and will remain his personal estate and property and that of his descendants generations to come.He made sure of that and it's been written into law.
If you have any problem with that,either lobby King Dandeson Jaja to declare himself and his progeny Ijaw or you pack out.

Who is Dandison's father? If you can't provide an answer just feck off!!!

Na by force to be an Igbo man? With your cooked up history to distort facts. Just that we re peace loving people, that is why you guys can spew whatever you like. Go to Wakama, George and some villages in Okrika that speak Igbos and tell them they re Igbos and see if you guys will not be under 6ft in less than 1min.

Now I know why the Ikwerres are very hostile to you lots. Give them one inch and they take a space, gradually your history is turned around.

Those our reps will just sit there and yawn away their lives. You'll only see them talking when an interest of their Boss is on the floor not the region.

A pressure group, Forum of South East, South-South and Middle-Belt Advocates for Better Nigeria (FOSESSMBA), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari, to urgently constitute a panel to investigate the abandoned and poorly executed federal road contracts within the three zones.
The group made the call after an interactive session in Enugu, where participants from the three geopolitical zones reviewed the plights of the people on account of the deplorable condition of federal roads and the near collapse of basic infrastructure in the area.
The group noted that apart from the over 70-kilometre Enugu–Abakaliki single-carriage Federal Highway built under Trans-
Sahara highway project during the last years of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, all other federal roads in the area have totally collapsed, and now impassable.
In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Bon Onwubualili, and Secretary, Tony Edike, the group observed that almost all the federal highways in the three zones, including those purportedly rehabilitated by the immediate past administration, were no longer motorable as they have been taken over by deep potholes and gullies.
The FOSESSMBA said: “As a result of the poor state of affairs, many lives and goods worth several billions of naira have been lost to frequent auto crashes, while inland roads built by various state governments have been over-stretched due to diversion of heavy traffic to such roads.
“We are aware that most of the federal roads in these regions like the Makurdi–9th Mile Road, Enugu-Onitsha highway, Enugu-Port Harcourt highway, Owerri-Port Harcourt, Idah- Onyedega-Otuocha Road, Ankpa-Lokoja Road, Arochukwu- Ohafia Road, Owerri-Okigwe Road, Odolu-Nsukka-Adani- Onitsha Road, had been awarded to various contractors and huge funds released to them without any appreciable job done on these roads. And where some jobs were done, they were substandard and could not last beyond the year they were constructed, making them even worse than they were, and exposing motorists to avoidable deaths.
“It is even more disheartening that some members of the National Assembly from the affected geopolitical zones, had in recent past, occupied key positions as chairmen, Senate and House of Representatives Committees for Works and Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), yet, the federal highways which oversight they supervised, are today impassable and death-traps.
“We hereby call on these representatives, some of who are currently holding public offices, to give account of their stewardship to those they represented, and who are now suffering on account of deplorable infrastructure,” the forum said.
The group, however, urged the president to declare a state of emergency on roads in the three geopolitical zones to save the suffering people of the area from further hardship.

OlujobaSamuel:
I get your view, I've also been advocating for same, I just wasn't looking at him coming from that perspective, I've heard lots of professors saying Polytechnics can't be given a status of universities irrespective of whatever is put in place, ditto for CofEdu.

So what's the solution to this problem? The brilliant students opting out of College of Education courses and education courses in our universities? How do you make them attractive to lure these brains?

willow0802:
To be very sincere, you are not making any sense, sorry

You cannot decipher the truth, you have been programmed to lies.

TonyeBarcanista:
Oga, no need to argue with anybody. Make we de see abeg

Brother these men tire me no be small. Dese there colonialism approach is just meh.

pazienza:
I am telling what is going to be. The more you Ijaw people try to challenge the Jaja ownership of Opobo and Jaja throne authority, like you recently did, the more you push Jaja descendants and descendants of Igbo slaves in Opobo towards their Igbo origin.

Better stop your Ijaw expansionism agenda now, and accept the hybrid nature of Opobo as a meeting point between Igbo, Ijaw and Ibibio cultures, just like Cyprus is to Greece and Turkey.

You are an Idiooot I've now finally seen. Opobo is a full blown Ijaw land. Soil wise, culture wise and otherwise. As for the heir apparent only on King Jaja's lineage. There are things as an Opobian I'll not reveal here to your consumption cos you don't deserve it.

biafranqueen:
thank you my Dear I am so surprised at the ignorance I have been reading lately, but it is good to know who is hating on the downlow.

Thank your God you didn't quote me. The only one that is ignorant is your people that will cook history for self attachee.

pazienza:
Go and sit down. Opobo is a private estate of Jaja, and his descendants.
If Jaja Ijaw subordinates who accompanied Jaja to opobo from Bonny what to remain Ijaw, it's understandable. But the Opobo land belong to Ijaw, an Igbo slave boy who became a free man, and who hails from Amaigbo Imo state.

Only Jaja descendants will decide where Opobo ends up. You Ijaw people there have no such rights.

Your attempts to dispose Jajas off the throne of Opobo had already failed. Opobo is not under your control.

Now go and D.

You summarised to suit your ego. Clap for yourself. Opobo was founded not as an Igbo nation, we had different culture from Igbo bar the language which is still been an issue with the people of Bonny. So Bonny is still an Igbo land since Jumbo houses are Igbo slaves. Please go and read history of Opobo Kingdom written by her indigene not what one man at Arochukwu wrote.

Abagworo:
Opobo was not Ijawland. It was founded by Jaja and his followers. However Jaja the leader was from Amaigbo in Imo State and Opobo was established with Igbo as 1st language.

Leaning towards Ijaw for convenience is understandable but do not distort a very recent and open history.

How can you say, it was founded by an Igbo man? The history you guys wrote is distorted. When he moved with his followers? Who re his followers? He is Igbo not denying that fact, but an adopted slave by the Bonny King same can be said of all immigrants in foreign soils. Having said that, he never regarded himself as an Igbo man, but an Ibani man to the core, it was the civil war that broke out in Bonny between his group (chiefs war canoe houses) and Oko-Jumbo (an Igbo slave too) who opposed him. He escaped with these same Bonny Chiefs to Obolo land (Andoni). The king of Andoni welcomed them and gave them land accross trans-ocean, the present day Opobo.

I'm not leaning towards Ijaw. Beside, do you know my lineage is not Jaja and so why should I claim what am not?

willow0802:
Can you please shut up...if your father didnt tell u about opobo, i'll tell ya. from ur post im sure u re ijaw... no true opobo/bonny man will never deny his igbo lineage. Even the present jaja, THEM NEVER BIRN AM WELL. Na joke I dey o

An opobo man posted this on naij.

opobo is igboland founded by an igbo man , yes! Part of the grand design to severe the Igbo ties is not unconnected with the long kingship tussle that greeted Opobo at the demise of her last Amanyanabo. As we all know, there was a gang up by some chieftaincy houses of Ijaw origins in Opobo to unseat the Jajas. But after 30 years of legal battle, the Nigerian Supreme Court, on the 23rd of April, 2003, ruled that “Opobo is not a traditional town as we know it. It is a Settlement founded by King Jaja, and remains his estate and that of his descendants” Led by the legal giant, the late Chief G.C.M Onyiuke (SAN), the Jajas' authority over Opobo was permanently signed and sealed.
It was after the landmark ruling that the family established a foundation in honor of their patriach and quickly appointed Anyim Pius Anyim, the then Senate President, as the life Chairman. Thus, the success or otherwise of de-tonguing Opobo - from Igbo to Ijoid Ibani - will largely depend on the acceptance of the Jaja dynasty. Opobo was founded on Igbo language. And King Dandeson Douglas Jaja, the man I saw at Peter Obi’s farewell gathering at Awka, does not appear like someone who would play with history and tradition.
Opobo is one settlement that will be difficult for revisionists to undo as all documents signed by King Jaja himself on behalf of his estate were well secured. And which helped the surviving off-springs reclaim their father’s settlement in the Supreme . Therefore, it is only the Jaja family that can determine the cultural identity of Opobo.
In August 2014, at the Elekahia Stadium, Port Harcourt, Hon. Dakuku Peterside representing Opobo told the “unification” gathering of Ohaneze Ndigbo that “I’m a full blooded Igboman….My town, Opobo, was founded by an Igbo, the mighty King Jaja...”


iJAW SEF, UNA TOO DO! SHUOO

Go get your head corrected. I won't join issues with animals.

Rose2014:
Did u read the op at all?

Or u just want to attack me, which one?

Is a thrash now. Distorted history to pride his ego and his followers. King Jaja is just one man in Ibani (Ijaw sub group like Kalabari and Wakireke))Land, Bonny. He moved with Ibani chiefs to another Ijaw lands which are the present day Opobo and was elected to be the King in same Ijaw land. So how is it now an Ibo land?

Rose2014:
Oh really? I thought u're Ijaw

So Opobo is not Ijaw??

willow0802:
What language do u speak?

Which language are you writing with? Does it make you English?

Rose2014:
Where is your place?

Opobo

Mek God punish your mouth if you call my place an Igbo land. U don call us mba mirin and lazy folks finish. Just shut up OP. Go back to your history.

As Obama is the President of the United States of America. Does it make US a Kenyan soil?

I rep Dakuku Peterside
