Nigeria is still a very Tribal society
That is the Truth

wike is supposed to act like a father to
all Rivers State Tribes and not be doing
ikwerre vs Ijjaw

Every Rivers person including Ogoni can be Governor as long as he has enough support from others


ijaws were not made anything out of benevolence you own the state together
and you rule it together

I like the way Wike is digging himself into an ethnic pit.

I love the way making enemies everywher and dependent on his friends in the Judiciary to give him whatever he wants.

A bloody minority butterfly who thinks himself a bird.

This is why i laugh when Nigerians talk about racism in the west. An Indian man from an ethnic minority became a Prime Minister in the UK and President in Ireland. A muslim man from India is the current Mayor of London. The current leader of the opposition party in the UK is black woman of Nigerian descent. Meanwhile, in her country of origin, she could never be a Governor outside the South West based on her tribe and we say that we are one country? Nigerians aren't ready to discuss the deep rooted tribalism amongst ourselves.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
I don't understand.

So, a man with academic qualifications, work experience, charisma, exposure, political acumen, sagacity and a capacity to lead will never become a governor because his ethnic group is in the minority?

And we wonder why Africa is so backward?

Is the black man cursed?

What exactly drives our thought pattern and value system?

There are professors, retired managers, businessmen and technocrats who would turn the fortunes of Nigeria around if they were the president, but they can never be president because of our backward thinking.

If not for a coup d'etat, who would have allowed Ibrahim Traoré to turn his country around today?

Africans need political deliverance!

Wow! That's good. Your wife did she accept her Igbo identity or you compelled her to identify with it?

Her dad identify as Igbo her brothers dey mumu

stanisbaratheon:
Well, I wouldn't want to call you the fool that you are. So run along.

ok minority

stanisbaratheon:
I heard one smelly mouth former governor said Ijaw is minority in Rivers State.

See the real map here.

Take a very good look at the swamps you come from.

masseratti:
ao ikweres are the most populous in south south?make una dey get shame small small nau..even their paramount chief have come out go say they are not ...my point is you could ab made your point without joining other tribes in the south south .

Again It is important you have sense to understand and comprehend. The topic is Rivers state and not South South.

mrksquare:
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.

Wike is saying this for political expediency and again for political expediency he just said the truth that we knew all along about Ijaw and their population.

ElevationD:
Even at that, they are in the majority. If we also expand our look into the Niger Delta as a whole, we find the Ijaws in other states of the Niger Delta. Where do you find Ikwerre people? Rivers state only.

Wike’s comment in that regard was very childish, very petty and completely unnecessary. I am not holding brief for the people of Ijaw land, but it is absolutely reprehensible to make such a comment, especially as someone who was a governor in the same state.

Opobo is Ijaw land completely and that’s where Fubara comes from.

Opobo is not Ijaw, Okirika is not Ijaw,Kalabari is not even Ijaw.all these places are what Ijaw claimed in theory expansionist agenda. Ijaw in Rivers are a minority they are only in Bonny areas of the state.

What did Wike say that is the truth?

mrksquare:

Bros stop playing Ostrich, you read my comments especially what he said about Ijaw in Rivers.

ElevationD:
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.

Oga, you Ijaw people make alot of dust. Ijaw a very insignificant minority in Rivers.

Believeintruth:
Bros stop playing Ostrich, you read my comments especially what he said about Ijaw in Rivers.

You are ignored. You see why history needs to be taught in our schools.

Believeintruth:

oh well I comprehend very well ..the person I quoted said ijawa are the majority in the south south..and that's what I quoted ..that's all.

mrksquare:
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?

Ohaneze ndi igbo president general is from ikwere.
Why always making reference to what wike say or feel

This drunkard has taken his alcohol again. The ijaw constitutes more than 8 LGA in Rivers state yet he will come out and spill thrash out of drunkeness

UCyril:

For someone that has been declared personae non grata even in his village of Eneka and by majority of Ikwerre people.

Below is a YouTube link of the people of Eneka disowning the PG of Oha-ne-eze Ndi Igbo

Telling me what Wike said because of political reasons makes it unnecessary for me to give you the facts u demand. Being from a tribe has to do with their culture, language, dressing, gods, beliefs rather than what a politician tells you

Your map of Rivers doesn't include Igbos, what a joke.

DMerciful:
Wike talking too much. He's gonna ruin himself

Big time and I believe Tinubu will Relief him of the office

ednut1:
this is false i guess 😒

Kwakwakwakwa 😁.

What's this? Read the description of what you shared. It's attached at the bottom of the picture.

Please can you do a simple chatgpt prompt with sth like this "Ethnic composition in rivers state Nigeria" and stop embarrassing yourself?

When you finish, play port-harcourt first son by Duncan mighty and listen to the lyrics closely

technicallyrich:
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

No one is talking about all of South South, just Rivers. And while they do share local government numbers, Ikwerre has more people than Ijaw. in Rivers.

Alright

mrksquare:
You are ignored. You see why history needs to be taught in our schools.

I think this should be directed at you, because it is people like you who display ignorance in HD, that buttress why history needs to be reintroduced to our schools.

technicallyrich:
You see how you display your ignorance boldly.
Ijaws in rivers state includes
Okirika,kalabari,bonny,opobo,abua,odual,ahoada west.and only okirika have more than three local government,kalabari has atleast 4 local government.oyt of 23 local government in rivers state ijaws own 11 and share one with Igbo ikwere.no other tribe has up to that amount in rivers state

Are you aware that I'm a typical Rivers man?
Okrika has just 2 lga, Bonny, opobo and all kalabari LGAs (Ijaws) are all islands with little voting strength
Rivers state voting strength are
1) Ahoada east and west, Abua odua Ogba Egbemas are all Brothers
2) Ikwerre, Obio and Etches, are brothers likewise
3) Ogonis, Oyigbo, Eleme and Andoni are together and never and will never be Ijaw.
1,2 and 3 will rather die than voting and Ijaw man as governor and that was what Emperor Wike was trying to let people know.
