You're speaking English language does not make you an English man.The people of Opobo are Ibani and they have a language called Ibani language. You're an Igbo man from somewhere in the south east, stop giving yourself unnecessary problem about people in far away Opobo who don't give a Bleep about you

Face your Igbo land and leave other people land alone

See who is talking.

You that igbos live rent free in your small conical skull.

You are so obsessed with the superior tribe that even your siggy is about Igbo.

Your own Igbophobia dey follow you upandan like stretch marks.

Wike said Funara is not an Ijaw man.

Copilot:

Nyesom Wike, the former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has claimed that Siminalayi Fubara, the current Governor of Rivers State, is not an Ijaw man. Wike stated that the Opobo clan, where Fubara hails from, is not considered part of the "real" Ijaw.

Wike himself is from the Ikwerre ethnic group, which is distinct from the Ijaw. The Ijaw are one of the largest ethnic groups in the Niger Delta region, while the Ikwerre are primarily found in Rivers State and are often considered part of the Igbo subgroup, though this is sometimes debated.

There's a historical argument suggesting that the Opobo people, including the founding of Opobo town by King Jaja (Jubo Jubogha), have ties to the Igbo ethnic group. King Jaja himself was of Igbo origin from the Aro Confederacy before establishing Opobo in the Niger Delta.

Over time, however, the Opobo people have developed a distinct identity, shaped by their coastal location and cultural interactions with other Niger Delta groups, including the Ijaw. This blending of identities makes the question of ethnic classification for Opobo more nuanced, as it sits at the crossroads of historical and sociopolitical contexts.

All I want to know is what a cousin sister is.
