She is likely a non-muslim.
Non-muslim who marries Saudi princes often retain their
premarital religious freedoms.

That said, the head to to covers for women are control tools. It is very obvious.

You think a Saudi price will marry a non muslim without converting her to islam?

Christistruth00:
If you read Decree 34 Well you will notice that Gen Ironsi had already Stripped the Regions of their Powers

What stopped Gowon from restoring the powers to the region but he choose to abolish it completely ?

Goodmarlian:
ITS fear of what will happen that stopped them from killing him.

They could have kpaid him in Kenya when he was captured by federal agents,they kept him for two weeks without anyone knowing about his whereabout.

This is the Link to the FG Gazette of Decree 34 1966

https://archive.gazettes.africa/archive/ng/1966/ng-government-gazette-supplement-dated-1966-05-24-no-51-part-a.pdf


Start by reading point 3 it is now practically Gen Ironsi who decides what laws to make for each region

Was is not a military regime?What do you expect?
Even in democracy the states are still under the influence of the president.
Decree 34 only changed the name from region to group of provinces every other thing was intact.
Why all of you are bent on giving Ironsi credit for what Gowon did still baffles me.
Decree 14 of 1966 by Gowon and Awo abolished the 4 regions and created 12 states.

Accordingly, Decree 34 of 1966 (so-called Unification Decree) by Maj-Gen Aguiyi Ironsi merely set up a Federal Military Government to be presided over by a Supreme Military Council, while Military Governors were appointed for the Four Regions, namely Lt-Col Adekunle Fajuyi, (Western Region); Lt.Col Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu (Eastern Region); Lt-Col David Ejoor (Midwestern Region) and Lt-Col Hassan Usman Katsina (Northern Region).

Attached is a copy of Decree 14 of Gen Gowon and his deputy Chief Awolowo that abolished the 4 regions and created 12 states.

arantess:
Hahahaha don't mind the op

Even ndoki sef are not ijaw but igboid...
E say etched with boundaries with imo state na ijaw......but them dey bear "kelechi nwogu"

Infact the op is high

Very funny.

GeneraDitari:
There is no single language called Ijaw.
Grow up.

Yes you are right.You people have no language.
The people you listed as Ijaw speaks Igbo language as their mother tongue.From Obigbo to Etche,Bonny to Opobo to Okrika to Kalabari etc.
Then inside Ijaw Bayelsans they do not understand each other talkless of Ijaws of Delta.

Dsimmer:
Another baseless gibberish! A fallacy!

I repeat, Arab wore nothing like Agbada! That's a fact!

Another fact was Robert Noris write up about the agbada as far back in 1772 while stating that it was made in Eyo (Oyo) and exported to other Africans through trading.

Another fact is the fact that Yoruba have similar design as their egungun (Ara Orun)!

I deal in fact, not in stupidity!

Go and sit down,you have nothing to back up your childish claims.
There are tons of evidence Yoruba copied agbada like other african tribes from the Arabs.

GreatBoss:
Tell that to their elders and leaders that keep running back as Ijaws because that's who they are.

I don't claim territories those are Ijaw land.
Ijaws don't land grab like Igbos.


If you know Ijaw well,you would see loving people and can only tear you apart when you overstep your boundaries.

Ijaw is the only ethnic group in Nigeria land grabbing people of other tribes that does not hear come in Izon language no be juju be that?
Anyway talk is cheap whenever Nigeria collapses as a nation we go know who is who.As of now you can even claim Nsukka as Ijaw no problem.

Dsimmer:
Consensus by who exactly?

I deal in fact, not stupidity. Before Islam was in Hausa land, Yoruba was making Agbada in Eyo (Oyo) and exporting it, according to Robert Noris. Point is Arabs wore nothing like Agbada whereas Yoruba egungun, Obadimeji egungun, Eyo (Eyo Adimula) etc have similar design as Agbada!

Well this article was written by a Yoruba man who obviously knows more than you.


Regions for the Agbada

It is worth mentioning that the agbada is not exclusive to the Yoruba, being found in other parts of Africa as well. It is known as mbubb (French, boubou) among the Wolof of Senegambia and as riga among the Hausa and Fulani of the West African savannah from whom the Yoruba adopted it. The general consensus among scholars is that the attire originated in the Middle East and was introduced to Africa by the Berber and Arab merchants from the Maghreb (the Mediterranean coast) and the desert Tuaregs during the trans-Saharan trade that began in the pre-Christian era and lasted until the late nineteenth century. While the exact date of its introduction to West Africa is uncertain, reports by visiting Arab geographers indicate that the attire was very popular in the area from the eleventh century onward, most especially in the ancient kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, Songhay, Bornu, and Kanem, as well as in the Hausa states of northern Nigeria. When worn with a turban, the riga or mbubb identified an individual as an Arab, Berber, desert Tuareg, or a Muslim. Because of its costly fabrics and elaborate embroidery, the attire was once symbolic of wealth and high status. Those ornamented with Arab calligraphy were believed to attract good fortune (baraka). Hence, by the early nineteenth century, the attire had been adopted by many non-Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa, most especially kings, chiefs, and elites, who not only modified it to reflect local dress aesthetics, but also replaced the turban with indigenous headgears. The bigger the robe and the more elaborate its embroidery, the higher the prestige and authority associated with it.

Dsimmer:
What a lie! I'm dealing with facts here! According to Robert Noris, Agbada was made in Eyo (Oyo) and exported. Even before the Fulani came with Islam to Hausa as a matter of fact.

I told you already that the Arabs wore Jalabiya which is sow from top to bottom like sleeping night dress. Arabs didn't wear Agbada but Jalabiya.

It was Yoruba who exported Agbada to Subsaharan and Saharan through trading.

When did Yoruba start making cotton,which century?
Back up your claim with evidence.So Hausa and other semi arab Africans borrowed babariga aka agbada from Yoruba?

Dsimmer:
Biggest lie! Arab wear Jalabiya. Does Osama bin laden wear Agbada for example? Arab wear Jalabiya.

In 1772, Robert Noris while writing about Africans living in Africa talked about the Yoruba Agbada which were made in Eyo (Oyo), as far back in 1772. That was even before the colonization of Nigeria.

Robert stated that these clothes were worn by aristocrats while adding that the clothes were actually made in Eyo (Oyo). It was rather Yoruba who exported Agbada to Subsaharan and Saharan through trading

That you modified it to your taste does not mean it originates from Yoruba after all it is same parachute worn all over Sahil and west Africa.

Christistruth00:
Lt Col Katsina the Governor of the Northern Region
was refused Permission by Gen Ironsi to attend Balewa and Sardauna’s funerals
Before Decree 34 it was not his Business whose funeral the Premier of the Northern Region attended

Also

General Ironsi completely took away the autonomy of the Regions with Decree 34 of 1966

Before then the western region had its own busy uk embassy on great portland Street in london which had been established by Awolowo and which had to be closed down immediately after Ironsi's Decree 34 and the building was later taken over by the Federal Govt

https://guardian.ng/opinion/history-and-the-future-of-decree-34-of-1966

Hey,you should know that military regimes is dictatorial in nature and every officer must obey the last order from his commander.
And again Decree 34 only unified federal service and did not in anyway abolished the 4 regions.The 4 region was intact when Gowon took over #fact.If Ironsi's decree 34 weakened the regions autonomy why didn't Gowon who killed Ironsi and took over power restore whatever Ironsi did rather he choose to abolish the regions completely?
The guardian article you quoted is not based on facts rather it is a biased opinion written by one Eric Teniola

GreatBoss:
It is Oyigbo and not Obigbo and their elders in Azumini keep sending endless documents to speak on their Ijawness that they are Ibani Ijaws.


Etche is part of it.
It is stated there and not all Etche.

You are not being realistic.
Even the word AZUMINI is as Igbo as Obigbo can be.
Anyway continue claiming territories online like Simon Ekpa it isa free world just as you are online president of Ijaw.

Note: Ijaw is not a particular dialect but different groups that came as one to form one entity due to same ancestry.
Rivers State have 3 tribes

Ijaw
Igboid
Ogoni.



Rivers State have 23 LGAs with over 6 million people in it.


These are the tribes in each Rivers LGA



1.Abua/Odual === Ijaw
2.Asari Toru==== Ijaw
3.Akuku Toru==== Ijaw
4.Bonny===== Ijaw
5.Opobo/Nkoro===== Ijaw
6.Andoni===== Ijaw
7.Okrika===== Ijaw
8.Ogu/Bolo ====== Ijaw
9. Degema=====Ijaw
10.Ahoada West======= Ijaw/Ekpeye

11.Port Harcourt City====== Ikwerre /Ijaw.
12.Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni====== Acculturated Egbema Ijaws plus Ndoni and Ogba

13.Oyigbo====== Acculturated Ndoki Ijaws

14.Etche==== Umubaraibi(Okrika Ijaw) and Igbos

15. Omuma===== Igbo
16.Obio/Akpor ======= Ikwerre
17. Ikwere LGA=====. Ikwerre
18.Emuhua======== Ikwerre
19. Ahoada East===== Ekpeye Igbo

20.Eleme===== Ogoni and also Ndoki Ijaws
21.Gokana===== Ogoni
22.Khana====== Ogoni
23.Tai===== Ogoni



In conclusion Ijaw is by far the largest tribe in Rivers State.
Ijaw is the only group with full presence in the 3 Senatorial Districts of the State.


The 24 years of democracy only Ijaw have been Deputy Governors of Rivers from one Ijaw to another and now that it was time for Governor all parties zoned to Ijaw because Ijaw occupy half of Rivers State.

Ogoni has neither become Deputy nor Governor.


Ask if any other tribe have ever been Deputy Governor since democracy 25 years now?
It was as Ijaw became Governor they get the Vice...



@General Ditari

President, Nairaland Ijaws.

Obigbo people and Etche are Ijaw in your dreams.

Catch and kill all kidnappers and adultnappers.

Slytiger:
Lies will burn in hell. Awolowo campaigned with giving the Delta and Benin their own region. They eventually got it. When the Other minorities in the East tried such, they were meant with brute force and Adaka Boro was jailed for it.

Igbos orchestrated the first coup, while their own people like Azikiwe and the Michael Okpara (premier of Eastern region) were left untouched. Aguiyi Ironsi whom Nxeogu called his boss after the coup became the benefactor. Ironsi surrounded himself with his fellow Ibo and authored the unification degree which centralised the government. The Igbos were extremely happy with centralization which Prof Nwabuaze helped Ironsi author.

Ironsi surrounded himself with Gowon as deputy and the likes of Danjuma and Katsina as his chief security officer and the reason they were able to get him easily and killed him.If he had surrounded himself with officers of Eastern origin their counter coup wpould have failed.#fact
If the western minorities were treated fairly by the Yoruba why did they agitate for a separate region?
Tell me one legacy project executed in their region during that time.
Finally,Ironsi was the military boss of all Nigeria army officers are the Chief of Army Staff.

PDP was just looting the country with human face and every ethnic group was involved while apc a coalition of Flni and Yrba muslims are the demon incarnate looting with reckless abandon and in alliance with foreign terrorist they imported into the country in 2015 to grab power that are now tormenting and kidnapping Nigerians for ransom.

Christistruth00:
Didn’t Ironsi wipe it out

And why was it only the Western Region that was divided into 2 what of the other Regions

Ironsi wiped nothing out, it was Gowon and his deputy Awo that cancelled the 4 region regions and replaced it with 12 states.#fact!
As for your question.The people of widwest region which is todays Delta and Edo states opted out of western region through referendum due to criminal and systematic marginalization of minorities by majority Yoruba in western region.

Ironbull:
You are too funny wallahi DSS should track you and arrest you immediately.

Pls who is a robber? A robber is all politician in Nigeria. Fac!!!

Now if you lost your sensitivity go look for it ok, because this is a region already dead with deadly spiral security challenges and same region burning down things to support one robber in disguise and they are thinking they are hurting anyone, mbanu.

If Nigerians can not at this point learn no politician worth fighting for then it is finished. Who can ever imagine Bwala of yesterday will suddenly become Tinubu advocate today? That is life and political gimmick.

Burning down their livelihood will drive them deeper into poverty then come back to say Tinubu didn't do this or that. So carry on in your anger and frustration when you burn down everything to please one new thief coming to power to thief then you will tell me where you will go.

Arrest me for what?
They should do their job first by arresting election riggers and mandate thieves.

PaChukwudi44:
Unfortunately, the Nigerian Constitution is not for you to accept

Don't understand what you mean.

They just robbed the people of their hard won mandate.
I will advise them never to give up hope.They should be steadfast in their pursuit of good governance and free and fair election.

Christistruth00:
It doesn’t Matter

There are still 6 Regions in Nigeria

And over 300 tribes each with their own Ethnic History and Homeland

Other Tribes cannot mass migrate to Abia and try to impose their own Tribal Agenda on
Your own Ethnic Homeland

You will never accept it

I will rather accept the 4 original constitutionally recognised regions than this fake Sani Abacha made regions.

Ohh I forgot, oga Ighoho tried to save y'all front the menace of killer herdsmen, how Did you guys treat him? Treachery and sell out....abobi use sufri leave una to enjoy una IbGaza in west Africa!

Prophet MNK is the reason no killer herdsmen can go free if they enter any Igbo forest to kill innocent farmers and villagers!

Continue with your delusions!
Those who saw good things and brought it to reality to the benefit of their people are called heroes but those who saw things and brought chaos and anarchy to their people are nothing but disaster to their people.
The number of people and property lost in Nnamdi Kanu's stupid adventures couldn't have been lost in 50 years in the hands of Fulani herdsmen.And fyi,they the criminal herdsmen are still operating,killing and kidnapping people in the SE.... Lokpanta is a good example where over 80 dead bodies of kidnapped victims was discovered.I can see you are IPOB member.I am done with you.

Christistruth00:
That is Irrelevant

Tribes are not Constitutionally recognised

It doesn’t mean they don’t exist
The Customary Court Laws recognise them

And it doesn’t mean Nigerians don’t have Tribal loyalties which are carried to State and Regional level

Even Gods own Isreal had 12 Tribes and he recognised all of them

our Lord and Messiah Jesus Christ was from the Tribe of Judah

England and Scotland were at each others Throats for Complete 300 years
Today England Wales Northern Ireland and Scotland have their own different Parliaments

My point is very relevant and valid,we are not operating regional governance.Everyone should mind their states.

Christistruth00:
Nigeria has 6 Regions that cannot be Ignored

No Region should try to impose itself on other Regions or their Politics

The 6 regions not costitutionally recognised.

Christistruth00:
Good

Every Region should fully Control their own Politics however they want

And not try to influence or Control the Politics of other Regions

Nigeria is not practising a regional government but states.
Why not allow states to control their politics however they want like in the case of Lagos state where Yoruba non indigenes dominates their state?

Why pepper 🌶️ eye dey do you ni? Abi una no get military Strategist to celebrate ko?

Go and read BBC account of Major Uchendu ambush at Abagana or Col Joe Achuzie exploits that nearly got Murtala killed in battle, you go understand what is called military humiliation!

You make me laugh! Exile? Boko Haram have defeated NA several times. Even Fulani herdsmen dey give them wotowoto... the Brits were defeated by the Americans! So defeat no be today!

Economically, the late Biafran leader was a great mobilizer!

What matters is the end result.That you scored a goal or two at the finals and ended up losing the match your goals does not count as the winner takes the trophy while football is sports and there is a price for second placed teams but in war the winner takes all and makes rules for the defeated.Tomorrow you will start celebrating Nnamdi Kanu's stupid adventures that led to economic and social lockdown of Igboland without result.

Bigkoko:
Why do you needlessly feel threatened? Why do you feel I'm bragging about the military skills of Ojukwu? Give it to the treachery of Victor Banjo, by now, you for be a Biafran, an Oduduwani or an Arewani!

Don't you think a man who could mobilize indigenous scientists, to Develop indigenous arms such as non guided rocket systems, Contact landmines and Early warning defense radars deserve praises? Something Nigeria could not produce then, after and even up til now! And this been when 40% of Europeans & Asian countries don't know their right from their left in military hardware production

By the way, he was also skilled in mobilizing indigenous scientist to refine cruel oil, something y'all can not even contemplate more than forty years after, construct military grade airports from scratch, something y'all still depends on the West for till date!

Abeg your shame dey shame me....this una legendary envy no dey hid face again!

I can say idiot's have been leading Nigeria since 1970, if they could not beat the records of my Igbo crush!

Common road construction, una still depends on Arabs and Chinese ex convicts.... something the Romans were comfortably doing more than 2000 years ago.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Na you know.Stop celebrating defeat thats all.
You won't see Germans celebrating adventures that led to their defeat.
A military master strategist as you called Ojukwu but he ended up in exile and left his people totally defeated is not worth celebrating.
