NOBODY CAN IMPEACH FUBARA.


THE WHOLE REGION WOULD BOIL.

I DONT THINK U PEOPLE KNOW THAT FUBARA HAVE WON THE HEART OF THE MASSES.

DO U THINK WE SUPPORT OPPRESSION AND HUMILIATION?


WIKE HAVE ONLY SUCCEEEDED IN MAKING FUBARA BIGGER.

GO AND IMPEACH HIM AND SEEL THE BLOW OUT AND BLO BACK REGIONALLY AND SPREAD NATIONALLY.

ONLY FUBARA CAN REMOVE HIMSELF AS GOVERNOR BY FAILING ON HIS MANDATE.

BY THE LOOKS OF THINGS, EVEN WITH THE DISTRACTION HE IS DELIVERING AND COMMISSIONING PROJECTS.

Believeintruth:
Ikwerre is an Igbo dialect just like Diobu and Obio Akpor.
Wike said he isn't from Igbo. So what's your point? Besides, the Ikwerres and Etche have distinct dialect and are distinct ethnic group in Rivers state.

OBI TRIED IT WITH OBIANO IN ANAMBRA, AS SOON AS OBIANO REACH THERE, HE WAVE OBI BYEBYE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.



AS A GOVERNOR U CAN SUPPORT A CANDIDATE BUT ONCE HE BECOME GOVERNOR, HE IS OWNED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE.



U ARE DELUSIONAL IF U THINK U OWN HIM OR HE IS YOUR PROPERTY.


HE CAN EVEN SEND U TO PRISON, U WILL DO WELL TO REMEMBER THAT AND RESEPCET THAT SEAT OF GOVERNOR EVEN IF U DO NOT RESPECT HIM.

U are a funny humna. Bro, there are countless Ikwerre who have identified that they are igbos and there are countless of those who say they are not.
So, he is right. Some have identified with full chest, so rest. The current head of Igbo union world wide is from Ikwerre.

..and was cooked as described below:

By the time Fubara got back from the Stadium where his inauguration held,
many appointments had already been made for him

Already appointed where his Kitchen & other domestic Staff, driver & other personal Staff up to his Chief Security Officer

His Stomach and Life having been firmly secured within their hold, they moved to other areas

A Camp Commandant was also appointed alongside full security contingent already kept for him (most of whom weren't familiar with his)

The chain had further been fastened

Then they to the level of Government,
several other appointments had also been made

A Cousin of his predecessor (Wike) was already appointed as his Chief of Staff (the first to see him in the morning and last to see him at night)

If you think that's all, then you're wrong

Then the Commissioners

He had no say in how most of them emerged

Of course, many served in the previous administration and had their localities elsewhere

I don't know of any Governor who wouldn't be choked by such level of chaining

It's not like it's the first time someone would be helping another become Governor

Even the chainer himself had been helped

Interestingly, those who helped the chainer allowed him freedom of decision

But the chainer being whom he is, built firmly walled Chain around the helped

Let me make it clear

Another Cousin of the helper was made Speaker of the Assembly he would work with

Then at the Party level, two relatives of the Helper were made Chairmen of the two dominant Parties existing in the State

The helper's plan was clear

He was to just answer a Governor with the control of his own Government elsewhere

Again, I don't know which of us would accept this situation

Then the helper's Boys had no respect for him

They called him small Boy, Mugu & sundry names

It was the norm to disrespect him

This Governor was in chains and ought to enjoy it

But he dared for his freedom

Today, whatever the situation, the point has been established that he can't be pushed the way they thought

It's still a Work-in-Progress....

Seems like Ikwerre is the only tribe in rivers state, other tribes are a negligent minority satisfied with the scraps that fall from the Ikwerre loafers table.

No go happen, not with Tompolo and Tantata guarding the pipelines, and Asari Dokubo being your president's henchman.

WRONG, OPOBO ARE CEREMONIAL IJAWS AND CUSTOMARY IGBO.


THIS STATEMENT IS A FACT.


LIKEWISE, IJAWS AND EFIK IN RIVERS STATE ARE 15TH TO 20TH CENTURY MIGRANTS ATTARACTED BY THE SLAVE SHIPS AND SELLING OF HUMAN CARGOES MAINLY THE IGBOS WHO ARE INDIGEIOUS TO THAT AREA.


THERE ARE NO IJAWS ON THE MAINLAND, AND WHOEVER IS ON THE MAINLAND OWNS THE COAST.


ANYBODY CAN COME AND SQAUT ON THE WATERSIDE, AND U LEAVE THEM BUT THEY CANNOT CLAIM THE COAST OR BLOCK YOUR ACCESS TO THE SEA, THAT WILL BE A DECARATION OF WAR.
I have never heard such words as this in my entire life. So one can be a ceremonial Yoruba, Igbo, Fulani, etc. Others can be customary Urhobo, Itsekiri, Hausa, etc. How does that sound please? So you for example can be either a ceremonial or customary (your own tribe)?

Let’s not deceive ourselves about the Ijaws please. They have had their lands for centuries.

“Agadagba-bou, the first ancient Ijaw city-state, existed for more than 400 years, lasting until 1050 CE. Due to internal conflict and violent weather patterns, this city-state was abandoned. Some of the descendants of this city-state created another in the 11th century called Isoma-bou, which lasted until the 16th century. This city-state, like the last, was founded in the Central Delta Wilberforce Island region. The Wilberforce Island region remains the most Ijaw-populated area of Nigeria”.

“ Because an able enslaved person could inherit the business of a trader with no heir, it was possible to have non-Ijaw leaders acculturate as Ijaw; such a leader was King Jaja of Opobo.

The Ijaw people bought slaves from Igboland, one of whom was Jaja, who was originally an Igbo man and who was bought by the Ibanis of Bonny. He later earned his way out of slavery and was renamed Jaja”.

Jaja headed one of the ruling houses in Bonny after his freedom. A fight led him to migrate and he found Opobo, where he became the first Amanyanabo (an Ijaw name and title).

Acculturation made Jaja an Ijaw man. Jaja founded Opobo, as earlier stated and the rest became history, with Opobo becoming a complete Ijaw land as we know today.

If you take a look at my narration, you will not find the Efiks there.

Are Ijaws Igbos or Efiks?

No. Except that they share boundaries, they are not related. The Ijaw people are the descendants of the ORU. The ORU migrated from the Nile River Valley and Lake Chad region in northeastern Nigeria to the delta region of the Niger River.

This man is truly very petty.

What’s the business of the rest of Niger Delta in the issue? When he says Niger Delta, he’s including Edo, Delta, Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers in the matter that’s not their business. Wike should confine his claim to Rivers state.

Talking about Rivers state. There are 23 local governments in the state, with the Ijaws occupying 12 local governments. Obviously they are in clear majority in the state.

LGAs in Rivers State:

Abua/Odua, Andoni, Bonny, Asari-Toru, Akuku-Toru, Ogu /Bolo, Degema, Okrika, Opobo /Nkoro, Egenni in Ahoadawest, Omubaraibi in etche, and Port Harcourt south.

Ikwerre LGAs in Rivers state:

Port Harcourt, Obio-Akpor, Ikwerre, and Emohua.

The Ijaws are in clear majority in Rivers state, while Wike’s ethnic Ikwerres have four local governments. If power has found itself in the hands of the majority Ijaws, they should be allowed to enjoy their turn. It’s nobody’s fault that Wike chose an Ijaw man. He knew what he was running from and what was chasing him. The governor must be allowed to run his state peacefully.
Ikwerre is an Igbo sub group. Igbos are majority in Rivers.

Ijaws that own half of rivers state.out of 23 local government ijaws own 11 completely and share one with Igbo(ikwere).
Ijaws are the majority in ss.they are in all the ss state except cross rivers.
The second tribe that owns ss are igbos but most dey deny they are not igbos.
Ijaws own 99 percent of bayelsa no other tribe is ss own such percentage of state.
Asawana. God bless the fourth largest tribe after Yorubad which are third, Hausa second and Igbos are the most populated tribe in Nigeria
You lie. Ijaw can only be found in okrika, kalabari and Bonny making it 1/10 of Rivers state. Though, I don't support Wike but by election an Ijaw man cannot win an election in Rivers state
Re: An Ijaw Man Was Made Governor Out Of Our Benevolence, They Are Minority - Wike by oyeraff: 4:23pm On Mar 12, 2025
So that is why Ikwerre people (Wike, Amaheule, Tonny Okocha, OCJ Okocha) want to remove Fubara within 6 months and replace him with Amaheule another Ikwerre man After 16 consecutive years of ikwerre rule, Wike is a joke. But Ikwere people that i know very well did not send these people ooo, just their own selfish interest.
