While welcoming traditional rulers during a recent event in Rivers state, governor Fubara made a remark about one of them. He said, "Eze ochi oha Akabuka, that title is an Igbo title but you said you are not from Igbo" to the amusement of the audience. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17A27Rgv7p/ https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1JLMPhvZWE/ Nlfpmod mynd44 fergie001 |

They have been confused since after the civil war, how can someone bear kingship title he does not understand the meaning or bear surname he does not know the meaning. No be juju be that 😁 ![]() |

Gerhards:They may actually not be Igbo but influenced by proximity to a dominant majority tribe similar to what was reported in authoritative literature account of the Asaba indigenous people history. The Bini people's case may be viewed differently though. They are reminded that Ọba is a Yoruba word to remind them of the Yoruba origin of their Bini royalty from Ile Ife. The Bini royalty and other Yoruba families directly from Ile Ife are still leading Bini people till date. Any bini person who is not directly from the bini royalty or Yoruba families struggle to understand it. I think there are just 6 or so families like the Adu family that are Yoruba from Ile Ife. The other bini families are not regarded as Yoruba. Bini case is similar to the English monarchy (House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha dynasty) who are from Germany but their English subjects include people who are not originally from Germany.

Well, Ned nwoko has said what needed to be known ![]() These ikwerre people took igbo properties and didn't return most. To me I don't really want to regard them as Igbos but seeing as they bear our titles and still drag igbo ohanaeze office . . . I just taya for their matter 😏 |

SeeWahala:do u know that the Igbo language originally belong to Niger-Congo? Are Igbo Nigeriens or Congolese? |

Armaggedon:Why? Because the have common labguage with Igbo people? |
| Re: Gov Fubara Mocks Rivers Traditional Ruler Over Ethnic Identity by richmond500: 12:49pm On Oct 31, 2025 |
Gerhards:The language belongs to Niger-Congolese and not Igbo. Igbo is the dominant tribe that speaks it in Nigeria and makes it look like it was their own language which is not |

richmond500:So you ate actually Yoruba? No wonder... |
| Re: Gov Fubara Mocks Rivers Traditional Ruler Over Ethnic Identity by richmond500: 12:51pm On Oct 31, 2025 |
Brendaniel:Just because I defended the Governor that he isn't mocking traditional rulers I am now automatically Yoruba? To u, anyone who says the truth is actually Yoruba. SMH |

Akabuka is very close to Ogbogu and Obite. I understand their dialect very well. They claim to be Ogba and not Igbo. |
| Re: Gov Fubara Mocks Rivers Traditional Ruler Over Ethnic Identity by richmond500: 1:20pm On Oct 31, 2025 |
SeeWahala:my point is just because someone someone has similar languageas u doesn't mean they are from ur tribe |
| Re: Gov Fubara Mocks Rivers Traditional Ruler Over Ethnic Identity by richmond500: 1:21pm On Oct 31, 2025 |
SeeWahala:u are part of the minority |

richmond500: I used to think you were actually from Rivers, but you know one thing I am kind of a bit happy about Tinubu's presidency:It revealed a whole lot in Nigeria, it revealed the core problems of Nigeria which had been masked with various issues and events... I mean just take a look at this thread, what do you see? A pattern, a behavior that is similar with each other, read all the comments of people talking like you, they all come from one place. No wonder I kept on wondering why you never tried reasoning with everything I tried to show you because your ideology may never let you... It is an average Yoruba man's tribalistic ideology, the ideology throws logic, common sense and even truth away. All of you sounding similar here all hate Peter Obi even when Peter Obi has not done evil to Nigeria as Tinubu has done to Nigeria but find it hard to stop loving Tinubu or even dare hating him. It is tribalism, Tinubu's presidency made me realize that intelligence, education, brilliance and so on can become useless once tribalism is applied to reasoning... You are a Yoruba guy who has lived in Rivers for long or maybe even born there, there are some attributes that give you people away, that is the ability to lie so easily and live in the reality of that lie and denial of truth. The statement below was made by a foreigner before independence and Tinubu's presidency really made strong confirmation of the statement below, Nigeria is the way it is today because people who reason like you are currently in power.

FreeStuffsNG:Why are you trying to spin the conversation as if you know better than the Governor? It's not about the "Eze" meaning King. It's about the Igbo title. Have you seen Bini King answering Oba then followed by a Yoruba nomenclature? It's always nice to desist from commenting out your frustration and clannish bias with the intent to antagonise. |

Bulldozer90:Between them and tinubu, I don't know who is more confused ![]() Thanks to fubara for putting them in place. Fubara himself has not shied away from his igbo roots |
| Re: Gov Fubara Mocks Rivers Traditional Ruler Over Ethnic Identity by ZombieDredd: 2:59pm On Oct 31, 2025 |
FreeStuffsNG:You are even more confused than them. Rest kwanu |

To think I joined you tribalists claiming sophistication back in the days to fight Igbo's thinking they are the problem but I realized very early who you are. Yoruba is the problem of Nigeria's unity. Tinubu era have helped expose you guys nyash, the whole world not just Nigerians know your manipulations. Keep fooling yourself on every thread Igbo is mentioned richmond500: |

clockwisereport:Yet without going to Igboland, they all understand igbo very well. |

Walai:They're masters of emotional blackmail. They will make you feel guilty for defending yourself, yet they won't stop attacking you while vigorously defending themselves. They will accusse you of nepotism while exhibiting the worst strand of nepotism. It comes naturally to them, so much so that they do all these impulsively, and at the same time are genuinely flabbergasted when you call them out for such behaviour. It is as if they were raised to beleive that they can be tribalists but others can't dare.. #Ndiunitedstatesofyoruba |

richmond500:Are you a Yoruba man or not? Simply question that requires yes or no, I don't know why all the hot air. |
