tonychristopher:I gave the meaning but to elaborate it.. Ndoki is the short form of Ini a Doki but generally people say Ndoki meaning... Search for them.. A search party search for some people would say Ndoki.. It is an Eastern Ijaw expression mostly by the Kalabari and Okrika and ancient Ibani.. |

Ugomba:Another ignoramus.. Anioma that are oppressed by small Urhobo in Delta state.. Urhobo will soon take over Asaba.. Just as The Kalabaris are taking over Ikwere land.. Do you even know that the Ijaws keep their land to themselves and make use of the land of others ? Anioma people are only known with 419 and even their 419 king ping Ajudua was made by Port Harcourt people. |

HopeAtHand:Igbo fool.. I said it.. These Igbo people are just out to wreck Rivers unity.. Look my friend.. When Sekibo the Okrika man was senator representing PH and even Ikwere Lga and Okrika together , He was voted by Ikweres.. Ph is a township and it is not a village like your places. Even a Hausa man or Yoruba can win elections in PH and it is due to civilization and not Tribalism.. Port Harcourt is the USA, ENGLAND AND CANADA of Nigeria so Carry your tribalism to your village bro. I said you are not a Rivers man.. a True Rivers man who lives in PH would not ask this silly question cos we Rivers PH dudes do not even go along tribal line. |

shota:Shota why are beating about the bush? ![]() The port harcourt port is the origin, the fundamental, the essence of the city.,,the port is the reason the British founded PH to enable them ship coal to England and the owners of the land the port is situated are the true owners of the city as they are they are rightly the people consulted by the British. Now i only asked you a simple question and you're claiming tribalism. Port HARCOURT city has 20 wards..4 for Okrika and 16 for Ikwerre..each area the different ethnicity settle or have historical ownership, they produce the councillor..so shota, PH wharf/port falls under which ward, Ikwerre, Okrika or Kalabari?? |

shota:Ijaw has a meaning in Igbo,search for the meaning. Obigbo town belongs to Asa people, the same same people that inhabits Ukwa west LGA of Abia state, Obigbo township was built on Asa land. The rest of Oyigbo LGA is made up of Asa and Ndoki towns. They were never virgin lands, they were Asa and Ndoki villages. Ndoki has nothing to do with Ijaw, instead it's the other way round, some group of Ndoki Igbos together with some Ijaw elements founded Bonny. The influence you have in mind is in reverse, ie Ndoki Igbos influencing Ijaws, that's why Nwotam festival an Ndoki Igbo festival is still celebrated in Opobo till today. Opobo and Bonny have strong Igbo indigenous presence. |

pazienza:Men stop arguing stupidly, you are not even an Ndoki man so shut up.. Ndoki people know their own history and what they are so face your own issue.. Damn !! We have a lot of Ndoki folks in our Ijaw forum . . Ok what ever you say.. You are not a Bonny man and you are not Opobo so stop taking panadol over btheir case.. They are all members of Ijaw national congress. . |

HopeAtHand:Typical Black man forever brainless... Man The places you think are Port Harcourt are Ikwere villages.. Mann.. How many times are we going to discuss this.. The 30 or 40 wards you think are in Port Harcourt are Ikwere Villages.. Its like you Igbos calling Isiokpo Port Harcourt or Calling all the Ikwere land Port Harcourt.... Port Harcourt proper is a very small places and it could be just one ward.... Go to warf and ask that question and see how Okrika boys will cook you alive and eat you.. I hope you know even Onne and Eleme are now Port Harcourt.. Why dont you ask questions about them ? |

ISpiksDaTroof:Yes there is nothing like South South... I am sure Black Americans are Igbo people.. No matter how white men chase them away they continue to beg the white man to accept them.. No matter how Ijaw people chase Igbo people away they still want to attach with Ijaw.. Go and claim South South and claim the places to be Igbo territory. |
| Re: Which Ethnic Group Is The Majority In South South Geo Political Zone by pazienza(m): 8:59pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
shota:You argue stupidly on things you know nothing about. I have an Ndoki Friend and I have been to Azumini before, Ndoki is as Igbo as they come. Opobo and Bonny got Influenced by Ndoki right from their origin, that's the relationship Ndoki has with Opobo and Bonny and not with the rest of Ijaw. |

pazienza:There was no Ndoki during the Portuguese era.. Bonny people traded with Ngwa and not Ndoki.. Ndoki are a mixture of Ngwa and Arochukwu while the first settlers of the river bank were Ibani and other Ijaw traders.. It was a trading post that developed to be what it is now.. Just like Oyigbo .. Ofcourse there was no Oyigbo before PH was built.. |
| Re: Which Ethnic Group Is The Majority In South South Geo Political Zone by HopeAtHand: 9:39pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
shota:Pathetic attempt to evade the fundamental question of PH..The history of PH is in the story of the port...The govt house, local govt secretariat and port fall under Ikwerre jurisdiction..case closed. You arent an Okrikan neither are you Ikwerre, so just beat it. |
| Re: Which Ethnic Group Is The Majority In South South Geo Political Zone by pazienza(m): 9:41pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
shota:Obigbo township was built on Asaland not Ndokiland. Of course, there was no Obigbo township when PH was being built, the place was but Asa village. Oyigbo LGA is more of Ndokiland, but the town Obigbo was built on Asaland. Bonny was founded by Igbo people who travelled with Ijaws, that very much is obvious. Ndoki has always been Ndoki, ofcourse, we all migrated from somewhere, wherever Ndoki migrated from, what is obvious is that they were Igbos from the beginning, and remain Igbos today, and they influenced Opobo. |

shota:Compensation: Rumuwoji, Abonnema Wharf Residents Sing Discordant Tunes Posted by admin on Jul 3rd, 2011 and filed under Special Report. The recent demand by the residents of Abonnema Wharf in Rumuwoji Community (Mile 1 Diobu), Port Harcourt that companies operating in the area should pay them compensation, arising from their oil exploration, storage and distribution operations does not go down well with Rumuwoji Community, who felt slighted that they were not consulted by the residents before making such demands. The community is insisting that the right group to make such demand is the community and not the residents of Abonnema Wharf, and that the community would do so in partnership with the residents, with whom they have co-existed over the years without rancour and acrimony, and have always co-operated in matters relating to the area. That is why they are surprise that the Abonnema Wharf residents did not contact them before making any demand from the companies that operate there. Residents of Abonnema Wharf, operating under the aegis of the Abonnema Wharf Community House Owners Association are taking the companies operating in the area to task over the payment of compensation to them for the hazards they suffered from the activities of the companies, which include Messrs Sigmund Communecci Ltd, Shorelink Oil and Gas Ltd.Dozzy Oil and Gas Ltd and BUA Ltd (which facility is under construction). Aside these companies, there is the Shell Petroleum Development Corporation (SPDC) which operates from kidney Island which is adjourning Island to Abonnema Wharf and one of the other companies – Communecci has its premise located opposite the Kidney Island. Thus, there is a correlation between these companies and Shell in their operations and activities. While Shell undertakes oil exploration in the area, the basic activity of these other companies is the operation of Tank Farms to facilitate the storage of Petroleum products, to enable the end users get speedy and conventional access to them. This explains why long queue of tankers are often seen stretching from Abonnema Wharf to Njemanze street junction and sometimes behind the Silverbird Cinemas along the ever busy Aba-Port Harcourt Express Way – hampering free-flow of traffic. The tankers usually contain a mixture of fuel, including gas with various Octane ratings and diesel, along with fuels like propane and natural gas. Tank Farms, most times are sited near refineries, major trucking terminals, rail yards and ports. Such farms usually pose major fire risk. Residents of the areas where the farms are sited are also at risk of being consumed in the infeno, in the event of an outbreak of fire – which could occur anytime. Thus, Abonnema Wharf and indeed Rumuwoji residents and non-residents alike who do business there are in danger because if there is any uncontrollable fire disaster, what should follow is an accidental release of fuel, explosions – sometimes unprecedented fire and related problems. All these threats are visible at the tank – farms in Abonnema Wharf. The Rumuwoji Community is not contesting this truism neither is the community against the payment of compensation or whatever monetary reward at that, by the oil companies in the area. The Community’s grouse is not on this but on the method adopted by the Abonnema Wharf Community Owners Association, which excludes them, the land owners. The community’s grouse with the process adopted by the residents’ association came to the fore last Wednesday, June 29 in Port Harcourt. At a joint meeting by the Community’s Council of Chiefs, Town Council and Youth Association, chaired by the Nye-nwe-ali (Paramount ruler), Chief John Dike and ably supported by Chief (Hon.) Ogbonda Worlu, Secretary to the Council of Chiefs, the Community did not mince words in condemning the approach adopted by the Abonnema Wharf residents, while expressing its readiness to partner with them on the issue of compensation and any other one that affects them. The Community was categorical that it was wrong for the residents of Abonnema Wharf to bye-pass them in their demand for compensation from two of the oil companies, operating there – Sigmund Communecci Ltd and Shorelink Oil and Gas Ltd. The Community did not fault the need for the two companies to pay compensation since there is an established case of pollution in the area, arising from the oil exploration activities of these companies but said such compensation should be directed to them – the Land owners and not their tenants, the Abonnema Wharf residents. The Rumuwoji Chiefs’ Council and Rumuwoji Town Council which spoke on behalf of the Community on the issue after their meeting called to review the situation in the area, pledged to carry the residents of Abonnema Wharf along and expressed surprise further, that they failed to consult them before making such demand and even went on air (AIT) to lend credence to it. The community believes there is need for apology by Abonnema Wharf residents for what they consider a slight on them, inspite of the cordial relationship existing between them over the years, describing the Abonnema Wharf resident’s demand for compensation as a ‘mistake’ which they want corrected. In a statement issued by the community at the end of its deliberation and signed by the Nye-nwe-ali Chief Dike and Chief Hon. Worlu, the Rumuwoji Council of Chiefs and Rumuwoji Town Council on behalf of the Community. Land owners said: Just recently, we had our brothers – the residents here in Abonnema Wharf which was traditionally Ohia – Esilaru Rumuwoji (making claims for compensation for oil pollution in the area). Ohia – Esilaru – Rumuwoji – that’s the traditional name of that place; based on that place being a waterfront to Abonnema, Bukuma, Bakana — and our other riverrine communities, that place was named Abonnema Wharf – a Wharf, just a road, linking these other places but the place is Rumuwoji Community. Being a waterfront that has attracted a lot of business all these while, people from all walks of life are residing there but that doesn’t make them owners of that place. We’ve been having good working relationship with them all this while; even in the matter that they took Shell to court, they also said in their own statement of claim that that place does not belong to them, that the place belongs to Rumuwoji Community but they are residents there and most activities going on there affect them, so that’s why they’re making their case. But we as a community, after hearing the recent claim they made about pollution as it affect Sigmund and Shorelink operations there at the Wharf, we decided to come out to correct such impression so that, that will not continue. “Since we have good working relationship, we expect whatever demand, whatever agitation, they want to do, that they should pass through Rumuwoji Community.” We have not denied them most of the basic things of life that they want to get through us because we are all from the Niger Delta, what affects them also affects us so we decided to correct that wrong impression which they sent to the air (media), making claims from compensation without the consent or without passing through Rumuwoji Community so that’s why we decided to have this forum, and to also send this message across that that place belongs to Rumuwoji Community and whatever thing they have to do, they have to pass through the Rumuwoji Community; what will benefit them, we’ll not deny them. “We want to correct that impression because we have been relating very well with them and we didn’t know why they left the normal (way), the procedure, the due process which we have, to do something else so if at this point they realise the mistake they have made and still come back to the community, we’ll welcome them, whatever claims we’re going to make, we’ll accommodate them like we’ve been accommodating them before. “So that’s our position, we ‘re friendly people; we’re very hospitable; we love our neighbours as we also love our selves. If they come back to say they’re sorry for what they have done, there’s no problem, we’ll work together like we’ve been working together before. The Tide On Sunday asked Chief Worlu, if they don’t come back to say ‘sorry’, what will be the next line of action? And he said “we will not be in a hurry to say that for now; let’s watch and see as events unfold”.

tonychristopher:Don't mind that guy. Ndoki is pure Igbo. I've been there twice. Two of my friends are from that place and on the two occasions it was their place I went to. Former Senate President Adolphus Wabara is from there. Another female friend of mine is from them. Her surname is Amakiri . She told me that she has relatives in Rivers state. She said her grandfather and his brother's moved down to Rivers state but her grandfather returned before the creation of boundaries. They are Igbos as Igbos can be. Those people even understand a bit of Ibibio because of their proximity to Akwa Ibom. Ukwa East is definitely Ndoki while Ukwa West is Asa. |
| Re: Which Ethnic Group Is The Majority In South South Geo Political Zone by pazienza(m): 10:17am On Sep 07, 2015 |
Yujin:True. Ndoki has more in common with Ibibios than with Ijaws, they have land boundaries with Akwa-ibom people and some Ndoki villages are currently part of Akwa Ibom state. Ndoki has historical connection to Bonny and Opobo. |

Soon we will grant you your Oil Rivers state and you will find yourselves fighting the situations the Igbos had to deal with...you will not have mouth in Ikwerre state. ![]() You can then take Ikwerre state to court. ![]() |
