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.
I don't like Wike, but the truth is that the ikwere/igboid part of rivers are majority. Majority is not counted by LGAs but by population, PH alone has more numbers than those places mentioned. Look at past governors and check where they are from.

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
Ijaw is huge but they are scattered all over the states without getting the majority.
In akwa ibom, delta, Rivers, Edo they are not majority although they are 2nd in those states. They are only majority in Bayelsa.
In Delta and Rivers Igbos are majority.
In Edo the binis are majority
In Akwa Ibom the ibibios are majority so lousy Wike is right here

Wike is absolutely right ijaws are minorities

Like serious minority.
They're the real expansionists in Rivers state
Claiming opobo and other Igboid groups

Okrika self is even more Igboid than ijoid in real sense

You'll see people like Asari dokubo telling you his ancestors were Igbos from Abịa

You'll think it's a lie

Infact Igbos are the majority in Southern Nigeria it's not issue of debate

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.
Ikwerre and Etche have distinct dialect? So does Abakiliki, Onitsha, Nsukka, Awka, Umuahia, Enugu and Aba

Are you teaching me the configuration in my state? Rivers state is a diverse State with over 13 nationalities. Ikwerre is a nation that is distinct from Etche, Ahaoda.

Abakiliki, Onitsha et al is a nation under Igbo. Same scenario you painted is also common amongst the ijaws. Kalabari, Okrika, Abua, Andoni, Opobo all have distinct languages but they are under the Ijaw nation.

The mistake some of you tend to make is thinking Jaja was the sole founder of Opobo. When they left Bonny for Opobo, other chiefs were part of the journey who were not Igbos. In ijaws, most of our forebears were slaves that were bought from Igbo that were assimilated. It is common in Kalabari and part of Ogoloma.

How can the ijaws be the minority in zone where they are in virtually every States in the South South. Even in Rivers state, the ijaws have 13 House of Assembly members, while Wike ethnic group has just 6. So how can 6 be majority over 13.

If not for Odili that ceded power to Ikwerres, they would never have produced a governor in Rivers state. Even Odili, it was Marshal Harry, Alabo Graham Douglas and A.K. Dikibo that made him governor.

How are the igbo's the majority in Rivers state? Please educate me with empirical fact. Meanwhile, Ahoada people are not Igbo people. Wike has consistently told you that he isn't an Igbo man.

And how many LGAs do you think, the ijaws control in Rivers state?

@ TechnicallyRich and ElevationD, Ijaws "occupying" 12 LGAs out of 23LGAs in Rivers state doesn't make them the largest ethnic group. If you are the largest anywhere, your voting figures will prove it, census figures will also prove it..

It is important to note that prior to and after the creation of Bayelsa state out of old Rivers state, the Andonnis, the Opobos, Kalabari, Okrika, Engenni, Abua and Bonny people never considered themselves Ijaws, but as separate and distinct ethnicity from Ijaws. And in the spirit of deleanation of LGAs according to ethnicity, each of them were given LGAs to reflect their uniqueness.

When the militancy began in 2004 thereabouts, the Ijaw drive started. Everyone living by the river was called Ijaw and was coerced and/or cajoled into the Ijaw Nation.

Have you seen the swamp terrain Ijaw people call their homes? It is not fit for animal existence, let alone humans. Use Google map and zoom into those LGQs and see for yourselves. A people cut off from Civilisation with no accessible roads, healthcare, police stations etc.

If you think it's by number of LGA, well, Lagos has 20LGAs and Akwa Ibok has 33LGAs. Who has more population?

When the agitation for the creation of Rivers state was being championed, it was done by the ijaws and ogonis.

In Short Dappa Biriye was in the forefront for the creation of Rivers state. When the state was eventually created, the ijaws were the ones calling the shot. First civilian governor Melford Okoli -Ijaw, Second civilian Governor- Chief Rufus Ada George-ijaw

After, Bayelsa ceded from Rivers state and in 1998, it was the ijaws that were calling the shot in the two dominant political parties. Marshal Harry, A. k Dikibo and Alabo Graham Douglas were the founders of PDP in Rivers state. They singlehandedly made Odili the governor. The ijaw had the opportunity of producing the governor of Rivers state in 1999. But the trio that I mentioned, felt that justice should prevail. That was how Odili, from the minority of minority ethnic group was dispatched and made a governor. Meanwhile, Odili was the deputy governor under Chief Rufus Ada George

And Odili having completing his tenure reneged on the upland-Riverine power dichotomy of sharing power, by bringing his political son, Amaechi to be governor. Wike, you are all aware that it was Jonathan and his wife that were instrumental to his emergence as governor.

And it might interest you to know that the ijaws are the only ethnic group in Rivers state that have presence in the three senatorial district in Rivers state.

Re: An Ijaw Man Was Made Governor Out Of Our Benevolence, They Are Minority - Wike by BrodaBenad: 9:09pm On Mar 12, 2025

When the agitation for the creation of Rivers state was being championed, it was done by the ijaws and ogonis.

In Short Dappa Biriye was in the forefront for the creation of Rivers state. When the state was eventually created, the ijaws were the ones calling the shot. First civilian governor Melford Okoli -Ijaw, Second civilian Governor- Chief Rufus Ada George-ijaw

After, Bayelsa ceded from Rivers state and in 1998, it was the ijaws that were calling the shot in the two dominant political parties. Marshal Harry, A. k Dikibo and Alabo Graham Douglas were the founders of PDP in Rivers state. They singlehandedly made Odili the governor. The ijaw had the opportunity of producing the governor of Rivers state in 1999. But the trio that I mentioned, felt that justice should prevail. That was how Odili, from the minority of minority ethnic group was dispatched and made a governor. Meanwhile, Odili was the deputy governor under Chief Rufus Ada George

And Odili having completing his tenure reneged on the upland-Riverine power dichotomy of sharing power, by bringing his political son, Amaechi to be governor. Wike, you are all aware that it was Jonathan and his wife that were instrumental to his emergence as governor.

And it might interest you to know that the ijaws are the only ethnic group in Rivers state that have presence in the three senatorial district in Rivers state.
What agitation?

Gowon created Rivers state to cut of Igbos

It has nothing to do with Creek dwellers

You people are feeling too important in a state where you are minorities


I'm beginning to see what Wike is saying

1.Okrikas are not ijaws they're mixtures at best

I won't engage you again. How can you be engaging in revisionism like Wike. I am of the wakirike stock. So you can't tell me my history. That is how you said Ogu/Bolo is Igbo. How can you be making such abominable mistake in this era of Google.
