Thank God the Igbos in RIVERS AND DELTA STATES are waking up to claim and stand by ancestral heritage as original Igbos.
They have equal stake with all Igbos in the 5 states of the south east irrespective of the wicked narratives of outsiders who wants to divide and rule the Igbos.

Rivers ohaneze will definitely produce the next ohaneze president and advance the progress and unity of Igbos everywhere in Nigeria and beyond .

GOD BLESS THE IGBO PEOPLE
GOD BLESS THE IGBO NATION

ijaw has 12 LGAs in Rivers State out of 23 ogonis with 4 LGA ekpeye and oyinbo are not igbos so how is it more of igbo than ijaw ?
They need to start checking these clowns in Rivers state before they start their madness.

List the 12 LGAs that are Ijaws. 'Oyinbo' are not Igbos indeed. A smelly bayerabe banza is sticking his leprous and sticky fingers in affairs that are non of his business. Thunder will crush that your oblong head one day.

So Rivers state is an Igbo state now?
Hymm,I'm hearing something New here o!

Oh,we can see where Wike and other River indigenous People are coming from!

It's the ohaneze that needs to stay out. Rivers is not Igbo land and the Ijaws and Ikwerres have repeatedly warned the Igbos to take their socio cultural group out of Rivers but no you Igbos are looking for fight then later look for who to blame. What you are trying to do in Lagos is the same thing you doing in Rivers. Begging for unity and try to grab lands.
Are u normal? U dont know that there people who are igbos who came from Rivers state? Some communities in Abia are few kilomters away to Rivers, same thing with Imo. So, u want to tell me that these communities that share close boundaries that states divided based on state creations dont share identity?
Omo, u are funny o. There were communities before the creation of states.
The Igbos in Rivers state are not strangers, they are acentral owners of their communities.

Don't talk like that.

All Ikwerre don't have same ancestral belief.

Some say they are Igbo while some says otherwise.

For wike matter, even his Ikwerre brothers detest him. Both Ijaw, Ikwerre, Ogoni and other minority tribes in Rivers dislike wike due to his selfish behaviour.

Rivers don't play tribal politics. We all saw how Ikwerre youths came out in large number and take over Ikwerre Local government from wike's thugs.

The only people that accepted wike as their hero are yoruba people.
Ok, I believe you

I don't blame the Ijaws. I blame the Igbos for allowing the Ijaws to get away with so much evil against the Igbos. For a very long time since the end of the war, the Ijaws have been antagonizing the igbos. Non stop. All these inspite of being a very tiny insignificant minority. Egged on by outsiders, their sons have joined the greater Nigeria to seize Igbo properties in Port Harcourt, confiscate thousands of Igbo lands and claim endless Igbo oil wells.

Bayelsa state was actually created to help the Ijaws have their own state. There are smaller "minorities" too in bayelsa, but the majority group there which is the Ijaws, have managed to subjugate those minorities in a way that you will never know they exist. The whole ijaws do all these while claiming the igbos subjugated them in the former Eastern Nigeria. Having succeeded in hijacking the whole bayelsa, they have now come back to Rivers state.

What is their problem with the Ohanaeze leadership elections. Why are they always trying to subjugate the Igbos in Rivers state? Has there been any time that Igbos tried imposing leaders for them in their warped ijaw organisations? Why would an insignificant minority group be continuouly poking her tiny fingers into the eyes of the majority ethnic group, if not because no one fights back? So I think the greater Igbo assembly should fashion out a master plan to cage the excesses of these minorities, whose desperation to redefine the Igbo identity and boundaries has increasingly become very dangerous.
Just like you said. The Ikwerres and obigbos, etches gave them this leverage for too long.

Same way he was igbos favorite until when he didn't support Obi their kinsman for presidency. Igbos were at the forefront as the number one fan of Wike back then, just because he was fighting Buhari and Apc who igbos don't like. Una no they get shame at all. Nzogbu nzogbu
You are wrong, igbos stop supporting Wike after the killing in oyigbo. The whole rivers people was against wike support for Apc, reason why they could only rewrite the result at inec office.

I understand where this we are not igbos is coming from


The ijaws and yorubas will masquerade themselves as ikwere people and be claiming we are not igbos

They'll separate the delta igbos from their kits and kins and then take away their belongings

Nobody can defeat a united family


My friend at school is modili Charles , he is from Ndoni in Rivers state, before and after 1991 his place has switched severally from beign Rivers to anambra particularly of ogbaru areas

He haven't for one day told me he isn't igbo and wasn't bothered about that

He speaks igbo fluently and is doing well in Onitsha, though his mom is from onitsha

You should incredibly foolish, just so you know.
The person who made the post is an Igbo man from Ikwerre. There are indigenous Igbos from RIvers state. In the warped mindset of you ronu imbeciles, Igbos are found only in the 5 SE states, but you foolishly ignore the fact that the concept of statehood is imaginary unless where there's a natural boundary like a big river or mountain range.
Ohaji in Imo state and Ohaji Egbema in Rivers state are the same community, no difference but they're in different states and to the averate ronuite, 1 is totally different from the other.
Go and do your research, there are Igbos-speaking areas in 13 States of this country, though I'm sure this doesn't fit into your narratives.
Your ignorance makes me laugh

Actually Igbos suffered and lost a lot for 8 years under Buhari for not denying GEJ and fully aligning with Fulani ambitions to dominate the whole country but all they get in return seems to be betrayals upon betrayals

We believe the Ijaw National Congress when they say their intent is to foster peaceful coexistence, and we share the same commitment to harmony. However, we must respectfully clarify that our demand for the presidency of Ohanaeze Ndigbo is not a matter that concerns the Ijaw nation.


Nice response.

When a person is enlightened, they don't scuffle with bus conductors. Most Bus conductors have nothing to lose. They will pieces your shirt on your body and won't feel the need to apologize. cool
I am very happy with what is happening. The Igbos in River are begging to reap the fruits of their labour. You can't alienate yourself, others will take over. Right now they don't even have language. Is pigin English a dialect? Ebonyi, Uguta, Abiriba, Nsukka, and Bende speak a kind of Igbo dialect only they themselves can understand. Ikwerre, Etche, Ohaji/Egbema etc speak a dialect that is common among the Igbos. If they don't wake up now their origin as a people will be a mirage.

If Ekpeye is not Igboid, what ethnic groupoid are they?
