I suspected an Igbo man would be involved in this success story by Pfizer.

So it doesn't come as a surprise to me, that his name is Dr. ogbuagu. The turnaround time was so fast. Typical hallmark of Ndigbo.

The quote encapsulates the effectiveness of the army in ensuring no ambulance was allowed into the massacre site, and their professionalism in carting away and disposing of the corpses of those killed.

The resolution by south-east leaders on the indivisibility of Nigeria is like a slave hugging his fetters as precious ornaments

In a meeting on Saturday 7th November 2020 in Enugu with President Buhari’s representatives lead by his Chief of Staff, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, South-East (SE) Leaders, led by the Chairman of the SE Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ebonyi State, H.E. Engr. Dave Umahi, were reported to have reaffirmed in a communiqué Igbo stand for the indivisibility and unity of Nigeria, built on love, fairness, equity and justice. But Nigeria knows that in Igboland: Unity of Nigeria – YES, subject to terms! And on Indivisibility of Nigeria: a resounding NO! Particularly among our Igbo youths who are completely excluded in Nigeria by Abuja; and the enlightened!
The proliferation of very active non-violent self-determination groups like the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and various other self-determination groups in the South-East, ahead of any zone in Nigeria, clearly makes a profound statement on rejection of the indivisibility of Nigeria. Excluding the absurdity of the excesses of Nnamdi Kanu and his diarrhoea of the mouth, the concept of the right to self-determination is very popular all over the South-East.

Fidelity Leaderboard
The right to self-determination as a concept, includes the right to secession if the “unquestionable and inalienable right to freely determine political rights and pursue their economic and social development according to the policy they have freely chosen” (in accord with UN ICCPR, ACHPR and Laws of the Federation of Nigeria), cannot be guaranteed or achieved.
Indivisibility of such an entity therefore challenges, and indeed contradicts a people’s right to self-determination in a federation; worst of all, the Nigerian type in which a minority influence which shares no values with the overwhelming majority of the federating nationalities, flagrantly seeks to dominate and indeed, colonise the rest.
What is more? Reaffirming “indivisibility of Nigeria” when as recently as 2006 Nigeria divided itself and ceded the oil-rich Bakassi Peninsular to Cameroon under the questionable Green Tree Agreement resulting from a contrived International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling! The ruling was conveniently engineered, because by ICJ articles, Nigeria was neither under any obligation to appear before the ICJ, nor to accept its jurisdiction in the matter decided in 2002. The Nigerian oligarchy conveniently threw the case and the Bakassi people to Cameroon, as a reward for effectively blockading and weakening Biafra’s resistance during the Civil war. What has been recently divided cannot remain indivisible!
Furthermore, South-East leaders can only speak for South-East zone. Not for the Igbo nation in the absence of Delta and Rivers States’ Igbos, who constitute more than a senatorial district in each of their respective states.
It is important to note that as this indivisibility commitment was made to a regime which had from August 2015 butchered over 500 Igbo unarmed youths and maimed over 2,000 in various massacres in Anambra, Delta, Abia, Rivers, Ebonyi and Enugu states. What is more, this 7th November 2020 indivisibility resolution took place against a background of October/ November 2020 post-#EndSARS reported slaughtering of over 110 Igbo youths and maiming of over 200 by the Army and Police all over the South East and another 50 killed and 80 injured in the killing fields of Obigbo/Oyigbo LGA in Rivers State.
Does it not bother any Igbo man that the extra-judicial killing of 2 to 20 unarmed protesters by State actors in Lekki Toll Gate Plaza on October 20, 2020 generated such Nigeria-wide/world-wide condemnations; but no Nigerian or world reaction to similar 11th to 14th Sept 2017 State massacre of over 180 unarmed rights agitating youths in Ogwe, Aba, Isiala-Ngwa and Umuahia, all in Abia State; and the other accumulated killings by Nigerian Army/Police of over 150 between August 2015 and August 2016 of same unarmed rights agitating youths, even after the Amnesty International of UK and the Human Rights Watch of New York confirmed and condemned the killings?
How about the impression Igbo leaders have allowed be festering in Nigeria and the world that IGBO LIVES DO NOT MATTER; whereas all they needed to have done to avoid it, is to promote, howsoever surreptitiously, international publicity and litigations against such killings? This bread-and-butter attitude to leadership among nascent Igbos would have been erased and nobody would have dared continue slaughtering the Igbo in Nigeria.
“No to Indivisibility of Nigeria,” because apart from its unilateral insertion into the 1999 Constitution (howsoever amended), being an enslavement military ordinance, the Section 2.- 1 on indivisibility and indissolubility in actuality represent the fetters devised by the northern Army Generals and their misinformed Southern collaborators, to shackle the rest of Nigerians – wrists, legs and necks – to the whims and caprices of the northern oligarchy.
The word “indivisible,” defined as “not divisible, not capable of being divided or separated into parts,” borders on absolutism. How can the Igbo, one of the major groups among the over 378 ethnic nationalities of Nigeria, most of who share no values with the oligarchy which isolates and monopolizes Nigeria’s rule and leadership, accept the very fetters that have condemned the Igbo nation to genocidal killings, degradation, total exclusion in Nigerian affairs and untold humiliations?
In every day street sense, the only meeting point between the carnivorous and the herbivorous is the stomach of the carnivorous. Distance is the only safety net for the latter. In human communities this blood-seeking trait of the carnivorous, transforms to perpetual violence. The carnivorous know of no other means of making peace than war. They thus validate Thomas Mann (1875-1955) the German novelist, social critic, essayist and 1929 Nobel Price Literature Laureate who asserted that: War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
In most popular and democratic federations of the world like UK and Canada, serious separatist agitations lead to meaningful restructuring which guarantees minority rights, including the right to separation. The latter allays the fear of domination by restraining the whims of any overbearing majority.
In Zoos across the globe, carnivorous mammals are isolated away from the rest of mammals in very strong steel cages. In human society strong steel partition of the zoo are replaced with organic law guaranteeing the right to self-determination with the right to session expressly stated. The 1999 Nigeria Constitution is devised to protect only the domineering rights of the oppressive oligarchy and no more.
By re-assuring the repressive oligarchy of the indivisibility of Nigeria, South-East leaders appear to have under-cut the grounds from the feet of any agitation for meaningful restructuring.
As Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) rightly warned fellow Indians in 1947 during their Independence struggle, “When a slave begins to take pride in his fetters and hugs them like precious ornaments, the triumph of the slave-owner is complete.”

The oligarchy would have no need to re-negotiate Nigeria, re-assured of Nigeria’s indivisibility, despite whatever pressure all Nigerians might decide to mount.

Reassuring Abuja on Unity, Yes because unity is negotiable and subjective! Indivisibility, No for it implies enslavement; and therefore jejune!
Furthermore, it is inconceivable that the Communiqué asked for the expulsion of only armed Fulani herdsmen from South-East forests; and impliedly seems to have endorsed the occupation of South-East forests by unarmed Fulani herders. This is unacceptable and indeed contravenes Igbo age-old tradition of all humans living in communities. Only animals live in Igbo forests in which the wild ones dominate. The Fulanis who wish to live in the South-East must be made to acquire land as Nigerians do all over the federation, and build their residences to approved plans in communities of human beings; or rent accommodation in the communities. No human should be allowed to live in SE forests, in violation of Igbo culture and tradition. And no Igbo leader has been mandated to alter that tradition.
Street commonsense raises the very pertinent question: Who will police and determine when such unarmed Fulanis in SE forests get armed? SE governors have no Police and control none. All policing is controlled by Abuja. The Fulani herdsmen massacre in Nimbo (Uzo-Uwani LGA, Enugu State) of April 25, 2016 and that of 2018 Benue State New Year gift of 72 slaughtered, among several indiscriminate mass killings of unarmed Nigerians in their homes in the Southern and Middle Belt Nigeria, expose the complicity of the North-dominated Nigerian Security agencies in such killings; and how far they can be relied upon for protection of lives.
Finally all patriotic schools of thought with a sense of history of Nigeria, accept that for Nigeria to be united and develop in this 21st Century, it must get rid of the shackles of the Enslavement Ordinance, branded 1999 Constitution; and restructure Nigeria back to the 1963 Republican Constitution with the cost-conscious and development-oriented parliamentary democratic system within the already accepted six zones of the federation; and not more nor less. Nigeria cannot develop to anywhere with money guzzling 36 states and the FCT within the autocracy-prone and wasteful presidential system. Being able to pay civil servants monthly in itself, does not generate human development, which is traditionally driven by capital and human development investments. Such development investments are impossible under the present structure of waste.
Meaningful restructuring is the most important tool that can liberate the South-East and others from the present enslavement. The Southern and Middle Belt Forum accepts this as priority. Ohanaeze, led by Chief Nnia Nwodo, accepts and reiterates this in its various regular press statements.
Igbo Presidency can be romantically attractive. But thought must be given to the jest the enemies of restructuring made of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as President. He was hassled all through his 6 years in office and ended up with no legacies anywhere in the whole of Southern Nigeria including his South-South zone, and South-East, which adopted him. On the contrary his legacies are all over the North – Almajari schools, new universities, huge dams and silos etc. The one-sided defective structure largely produced that effect and unless that structure is changed it is bound to repeat itself. The oligarchy would always support a candidate they can manipulate into their irrational and unpredictable ideas and desires.
Change of the present oppressive structure would be permanent and un-slave the Igbo nation; unlike one-off Igbo Presidency. Yet, the Igbo leaders’ voice on restructuring went silent in that 7th November communiqué. Perhaps to avoid offending the MAHDI! OR did H. E. Engr. Dave Umahi, who presented the Communiqué and is known to be on his way to join the President’s political party, negotiate the content with Aso Rock, thereby compromising SE interest? Even if he did, how could the other political leaders present in the meeting, allow him? Or do we now have a one-man leadership in the South-East?
Archbishop Desmond Tutu had warned fellow South Africans during the Apartheid struggle: “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
And Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did same to fellow Blacks at the heat of the Civil Rights agitation in USA in the 1960s: “A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right; . . . to stand up for justice; . . . to take a stand for that which is true.”

It is commonly accepted by thinkers that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. In such circumstance, silence is the enemy; and the silent is complicit.

Or can it be due to the absence of courage? The declaration by Maya Angelou (1928-2014), the African-American Poet and Civil rights Activist becomes very relevant: Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but not consistently without courage.
Thus there can be no purposeful leadership in the absence the virtue of courage! Nice diplomatic language could have bridged the gap between the expectations of rampaging Aso Rock and minimal decency required to protect Igbo pride and Igbo future. Once a people surrender to rampaging tyranny it is extraordinarily difficult to undo. The loss of the Hausa kingdoms to Fulani Emirates since 1808; and Yoruba city of Ilorin city to a Fulani Emirate after the execution of Afonja in 1824 illustrate how irredeemable freedom from oligarchy once they take control can be.

The South East has every right to seek with dignity, the office of President of Nigeria in 2023. SE politicians must be so advised that Ndigbo “asiro si nye fa amu ebune na anu agugbu go fa.” (Howsoever meat-hungry adult men might be, consuming lamb testes is anathema). The same time, no opposition party need be stampeded into any commitment until the ruling party which has Nigeria’s peculiar incumbency powers to return itself in any election and routinely does so, makes such its own irrevocable commitment.
Replacing diplomacy, lobbying and politicking with threats of decamping to another party three years before the presidential election certainly would not serve the best interest of the Igbo nation! Diplomatic and persuasive silent manoeuvring and lobbying are the best way to solving such political issues.

The Igbo are a proud people and will get out of this present virtual state of anomie. We nearly did it in 1979-83! But the coup that restored military rule of war Generals and installed Major-General Mohammed Buhari as Military Head of State in December 1983, put the Igbo nation back to where we now are!
With diligence, thoughtful and purposeful leadership, and God on our side, we shall overcome.

Next SARS protest?

Which of the SARS again? The one disbanded?

Yes.

Next question

The same way he is regulating the Nigerian media by shutting them down

This idiot ruined everything by having Atiku's picture behind him.

Is he trying to say Atiku deserves to be the PDP presidential candidate? Because that will not fly.

If PDP will not choose a SE presidential candidate, then I can guarantee the PDP that the SE will not be supporting it, come 2023.

Look at what Igbos are doing to the US Democratic party. Igbos can be determined, and Igbos are not fools. Atiku has had his chance.
2023 is for the Igbos. By 2023, the Fulanis would have been at the helm since 1999 for 11 years (Buhari's 8 years and Yaradua's 3 years), and the vice presidency for 8 years.

So if since 1999, the Fulanis have ruled for 11 years and second in command for 8 years, then as far as I am concerned, the Fulanis have had more than their fair share.

2023 presidential ticket has to be Igbo. Anything other than that will mean total Igbo rejection of PDP. You can take this to the bank.

Jesse25:
Am from the south south ......

Then call the mase thief to order. You may also consider calling Oshiomole or Ize Iyamu to order. Timipre Silva may also need to be put in his place. Akpabio is definitely overdue for being put in order

Jesse25:
Igbo people pls call this your brother to order .....what wrong with one self?

First call Tinubu to order

Who is this Kenechukwu of an idiot, adding the revered EZE NRI title to his harlotry?

pazienza:
The very idea of some states making billions on crude oil found in territorial waters of Nigeria in the name of offshore derivation is fraudulent and should be challenged and rescinded.

Derivation should only work for onshore oil fields and should be paid to a private agency who would partner with "real" oil producing villages and their families and disburse the money according to the amount of oil each family land produce.
That's the real resource control. It should be on family and then community (villages and towns basis ), the governors of the state such crude oil field is found on should have no access to such funds.

This will serve justice for all and free up more funds from the offshore oil fields currently unfairly enjoyed by few states , for all States of the federation to enjoy.

SE should partner with the North to push for this.
Politics is all about interests.
5 SE states plus 19 Northern states, that's 24 states. It would be a flawless victory and win win for all. More funds available to be shared to non oil producing States from the offshore oil fields account( Which will benefit SE and the North) as we are not littoral), and funds directly made available to Real oil producing communities, villages and families in onshore producing States.

The idea of making the onshore funds available to communities directly producing the oil and not for state government would also divide communities in Bayelsa, Rivers and Rivers where the bulk of the onshore oil fields are found as oil producing communities would vote for the idea, while in the leeches hiding behind other peoples oil they share same state or LGA with , to shout "our Oyel" will protest, making for a divided house and easy victory for those of us on the side of Justice.

This is true justice. I was disappointed to observe how squalid, Oyigbo LGA looked during the recent massacre, and probably still looks, in spite of the fact that it produces huge amounts of oil.

Your proposal is beyond reproach, I must say. This should be the Igbo interest oil-wise. This is exactly what resource control should mean to Ndigbo.

The slight adjustment I will make is this. With regards to the derivation, I am proposing a sharing formular of this nature, families get 30%, communities get 30%, LGAs get 20%, state governments get 20%.

The funds should be disbursed from an Escrow account or a Brokerage

dukeprince50:
lol, ur mumu strong o.
u wish to believe a snippet of a page than dozen of info at every corner of the internet just because that page is the only source in the midst of millions of source that sooth ur argument
I hail u bros

From the first known book, ever written about Bonny

For the umpteenth time, there was no mention of IBANI in this book. A very crucial point I want you to digest

dukeprince50:
lol, I just checked the name on Google, I wasn't convinced

It's even in Amazon. The hardcopy is sold for $22.13

That is a book that strikes the fear into your kind abi ??

Thank God for that captain. That book is a classic, and every UBANI citizen, infact every Asa/Ndoki, Ngwa person should have it.
Ohanaeze should have it
IPOB should have it
Umu Nri worldwide should have it

dukeprince50:
OK, I saw it on ur profile but didn't care to read it, u are not smart at all, u want to bring an argument from a page in a book without reference or book title.
Maybe I am talking to a waec candidate here.
I should have stick to Dedetwo , even though he doesn't have any reference to back up his claim, he won't be this foolish

You must be a kindergarten level kid.

You don't want to read the snippet, and you are here screaming that you need the name of the book.

If you had been smart enough, you would have seen the name of the book at the bottom of that snippet. " Culled from......... "

I will not mention the name of the book here, as your bots have banned me several times for mentioning it here. I know you want me to mention it, so that I will be banned. I know you Ijaws don't want that book known about. But I know of it, and in fact I have the full book.

That was specifically why I attached it to my signature, as that doesn't result in an automatic ban.

dukeprince50:
u can create ur own history, its not my business

That book was written by an entirely neutral source from the UK. It was written before the word IBANI was coined. It is admissible in any court of law. No escape route for you here

It was written even before my great great grand father was born. It was written nearly a hundred years before Nigeria was created.

It was written before wikipedia, that can be edited by anybody.

Dedetwo:
Original word came from the Portuguese not Ijo.

In fact in some very old English books, it is referred to as NEW CALABAR. So I agree with you. KALABARI couldn't have been an Ijaw

dukeprince50:
I said bonny is not Igbo, I never said there is no Igbo in Ubani.
read the link and stop arguing with me, u stand no chance when it comes to ijaw thing, I know ijaw history far better than u

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibani_tribe

cc: Dedetwo

You guys can create as many wikipedia pages to try and take over UBANI, which means The Richness of Land in Igbo. It will not work

In the book, a snippet of which is attached to my signature, there was nothing like IBANI there. The word IBANI came years or decades after that book.

In that book, there was reference made to Ijaw porters who came in from Brass. They obviously metamorphosed into the tribe you now call IBANI, which must be a corruption of the Igbo word for the town UBANI. Basically, IBANI is a recent coinage. The Ijaw element of UBANI (Bonny) and Opobo, were migrants from Brass. That's all.

Ngwa/Ndoki-Igbos own UBANI, and their royal family and the royal family of the Kalabari, are Igbo in origin. Facts don't lie

I'm still reading, hoping to catch a glimpse of "PDP made Igboman the PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA"

spacechuks:
So the northern land extends into the Atlantic ocean,last time I checked, their land extends into the arid Sahara desert, many lies are made to be truth to favour the north just like your 1999 constitution, dont you know that if Nigeria breaks up, the north will not have access into the Atlantic ocean, so what is the connection bw the northern land have with the Atlantic ocean?

The north will not have access into the Atlantic ocean but Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, have huge access to the Atlantic, and will be justified to stake their claims on a good chunk of the offshore oilfields, since the Igboland, and northern land masses are no longer attached, to qualify you for the offshore oil fieds claims.

In such a situation, Igbos may back the Equatorial Guinean claims especially as Igbo is a recognized indigenous ethnic group of the country.

pazienza:
I think SE should join hands with the North to work for abolition of 13% derivation for offshore oil fields currently being practiced and replace it with only 13% onshore derivation.
And such inshore derivation should be paid to LGA account directly with the towns and villages in the LGA that produce the oil entitled to a lion share of the fund in form of projects. This is a better template than the current one where we have some people shouting "Our Oyel" while in true sense, their own ethnic group or community produce no single drop of oil.

With the above we protect the interest of Igbo communities like Obiigbo and Egbema, and ensure they directly control their resources.

Very wonderful suggestion.

The map of Rivers state doesn't include the Atlantic ocean territory. I think this issue is worth pursuing.

So first of all, oil and gas resources extracted from the Atlantic ocean should rightly belong to the federation.

Secondly, the inland oil and gas resources should be weighted in favour of the LGAs and communities, they're extracted from. I believe this is fair, and should be pursued vigorously.

Any region that has this point of view should be partnered with, so that it can be achieved. This will help bring in more money to the central government coffers, and so ensure that the real oil bearing communities are well taken care of.

SaintBishop:
i thought that Ofoigbo said the people of bonny and Opobo are igbos.

Ubani (Bonny) is Ndoki Igbo territory. Access my signature, and see what the first book ever written about Bonny, said about the owners of Bonny, and the ancestry of both the Bonny and Kalabari royal families.

Davash222:
Umahi in APC can not win a polling unit in Ebonyi State.

He can.

All he needs to do is to tell the Ebonyi people that PDP state governments are massacring Igbos

id4sho:

IPODS right now

I don't think IPOB people give a toss.

They know this move hurt Wike more than it hurts them. I suspect IPOB may be happy with the move, after all a PDP government massacred Ndoki people.

There's no way Umahi would have been able to defect, if wike hadn't attacked Igbos of Rivers state.
In fact, it was ipob that forcibly and psychologically kept Umahi in PDP, but once Wike severed the links with IPOB, it is now possible for these politicians to abandon PDP without incurring negative coverage from Kanu's radio Biafra. Wike does not have what it takes to influence what happens in the SE, especially now that he has massacred. Ndoki people, followed by his denial of his Igbo heritage.

Limitless72:
Hope you know Port Harcourt is not the only state in SS...

How would the Igbos leave the SS all alone to contend federal might because Wike ordered a massacre...

Perhaps wike handled the matter poorly but Nnamdi Kanu is to be blamed substantially for the whole altercation.

Regarding the massacre, I have always ascribed 10% of the blame to Kanu, while Wike, the army and Buhari have the remaining 90%

While it is clear that it was only Wike that cooperated with Buhari in massacring Obigbo people, one obvious fact was that no SS governor tried to intervene to save the people being massacred. With this being said, I believe it makes sense for Igbos not to go protecting or supporting anyone at the moment. Igbo lives matter to we, Igbos.

I believe this time around, it makes sense for Igbos to be neutral. We have to rest and concentrate on our own core interests for the foreseeable future. We may get involved if we see Wike is about to benefit somehow. He must be undermined. We Igbos must teach him a lesson in wickedness.

The SE vehemently supported resource control, which was why the federal government acquiesced to the current 13%. It was all to help the SS. The SE also gave unalloyed support to GEJ all through his presidency, through thick and thin. What we got in return was the shameless massacring of Ndoki Igbos

Amazinggirl95:
Not when the communities of where this oil is drilled are being marginalized, while raw materials like the gold are managed by the states....South South Governors ,you have a case,take a Bold step and meet United Nations Let's see if they won't listen to you...Know your power,and your right..You have Oil..the WORLD will surely listen to YOU!! Know that!Have Sence!!!

The SS governor's will have a hard time convincing anyone , because the Nigerian government can easily claim that the SS receives 13% extra.
The government can even buttress their points by claiming that some states produce oil without receiving any derivations eg Anambra, and yet Anambra is not complaining

Amazinggirl95:
If only south south know the power they have...a whole oil producing REGION ..all the South south governors go to United Nations and lay all your complains and CHECK if they will not listen to you..there's one thing to know yourself ,and another thing to know how to use it...zamfara and Osun gold is for Nigeria, same as south south oil...or you Go to United Nations for redress..they will listen to you,you have the oil,and that's what they care about

That will not work, because the UN will not interfere in the economic and oil drilling policies of member states.

Militancy may also not work because the governor's will be held responsible for any militancy, and the Igbos of Rivers state will go all the way to undermine Wike or make sure he suffers for any militancy, as Igbos will deliver his political head to Buhari on a platter.

You don't get into such fights with the federal government with a dividend house

The presidency knows the SS is somewhat vulnerable at the moment, especially with the seeming parting of ways between the SE and SS, following the Obigbo massacre, and the imminent mass Igbo dumping of PDP.

They know Wike is politically and strategically naked, and the strong moral support SS normally receives from the SE may not materialise in the current post-Obigbo massacre climate.

The SE has always been the strategic and psychological buffer zone between the north and SS. That buffer zone is gone, and the SS is currently as exposed as KSW during the Abacha regime. The SS will have to tread with caution now. The SS is very much alone at the moment.

Whiteangel1234:
The Ikwerre Bini have fool and confuse the igbos for long time but this game will end henceforth

The Speak a Dialect of Igbo language , Answer Igbo Names , Dress like us so its easy for us to get confuse and call them our brothers not because we want to claim them but purely based on confusion , The Ikwerre Bini Hate the igbos more than any tribe in Nigeria , took our fathers property in Port Harcourt and called it abandoned Property when the Yorubas in Lagos return it to us .


Come 2023 the Igbos will play a National Politics based on our Political interest , and we are open to options in APC at least our major problem with APC is personal hatred for Buhari but by 2023 , Buhari will be out of the picture


Uche Secondus PDP Chairman is an Ikwerre Bini man they used him to confuse the Igbos so that we will think our Brother is the PDP chairman

Gov Ezebunwo Wike is the top Godfather in PDP and he is an Ikwerre Bini man until during this endsars protest when he clarify he is not Igbo I was also confused because of his Name thinking he is our brother .


Clearly the Ikwerre Bini People are taking advantage of the igbos and taking positions that we should rightfully occupy and we never protest because we are fooled by their names and identity , Today igbos hold not even a single top position in the PDP yet we are their stronghold for 21 years now

I support Mass Exodus of Igbos to APC in 2023 and to negotiate a very good positions for us enough of PDP and Ikwerre Bini Deception

Uche Secondus is definitely not Ikwerre. I think he is from the Ogoni/Eleme axis. Don't quote me on this though. A Rivers person can shed more light on where Secondus comes from, but he is definitely not Ikwerre

Seerade029:
Well I actually care less.
What I know is South East isn't the only one with gas.

South south isn't the only one with oil.
You grab the logic?

Both oil and gas exist in the 3 southern regions. That's a fact

Seerade029:
Doesn't matter if u have the most.

IMO, abia also has oil.
But Akwaibom, Bayelsa, Delta has the most.

When it comes to oil, the states with the most are Akwa ibom, Delta and Rivers state. The LGAs within the most oil are Oyigbo and ONELGA, both in Rivers state.
The states with the most gas reserves are Imo and Anambra

jamesversion:
Bonny, Obuaku, Oyigbo, Onelga are all in Rivers. Leave Rivers State alone.

This is yet another daylight robbery.

Obuaku is in Abia state.

Secondly, I can talk about any part of Igboland, be it in Delta state, Rivers state or elsewhere.
Gowon has no mandate to tell me what part of Igboland I should think about
