Igbo people are not gaining new friends with this your anti-South South agenda. If this thread was created for sole purpose of discussing the SS let it be. Am sometimes accused of being Igbo, but am beginning to have anti- Igbo feeling too because of you people's constant aggression towards the SS. Tonyebacanista doesn't speak for the entire SS/ND, your hatred of him shouldn't make you people insult an entire region. Check out my thread that hit the front page and how much banter I had with the Igbos on that thread: [size=13pt]Kwakwanso’s insult on Yoruba elders will not go unanswered:Femi Fani-Kayode[/size] https://www.nairaland.com/2692759/kwakwansos-insult-yoruba-elders-not#39392490 The anti-SS should stop or other PDP supporters like me who have remained on the fence reacts and join the sectarian war. |

y Ochereome Nnanna ALTHOUGH there were varied positions on the matter, in the end the General Sani Abacha administration created Bayelsa out of Rivers State in 1996” The circumstances behind my joining a delegation for the burial of His Royal Majesty, Sunday Nnanta Woluchem, the Epara Rebisi XI of Port Harcourt on Saturday, April 21, 2012 is encapsulated in the above quote taken from his burial programme. As the author of his yet to be published biography, former Chief of General Staff, retired Commodore Okoh ebitu ukiwe, asked me to join his delegation to bury a royal father who, along with ukiwe and others, played leading roles in the creation of today’s Rivers and Bayelsa states between 1993 and 1996. When the civil war started in 1967 and Biafra lost control of Port Harcourt to the Federal forces, the newly created Rivers State was handed over to the Ijaw. Ijaw leaders continued to maintain that Rivers State, with Port Harcourt as its capital, was created for them as reward for ceding their coastal terrain to the Federal side, thus making the sea blockade of Biafra possible. The Ijaw groups claimed to constitute the majority and continued to dominate the state both during military and civilian dispensations. With time, however, the Igbo speaking people of the state, particularly the Ikwerre nationality, decided they wanted a state of their own where they would be able to assert their own political and economic interests. This was what led to the quest for the creation of Port Harcourt State. However, the Ijaws felt if such a state was created they would become estranged in a city they have been part and parcel of since it was founded by the colonialists. In fact, they had even started portraying Port Harcourt as the capital of a future Ijaw state. Thus was born a great rivalry between the Ijaw-speaking and Igbo-speaking groups for the control of Rivers and between what was termed the “Okrika-Ijaw” and “Ikwerre-Igbo” over the “ownership” of Port Harcourt. The gruesome murder of Dr Obi Wali, the leader of the Ikwerre political front by yet-to-be ascertained assassins in 1992, owed to this tussle, which often led to street battles between Okrikans and Ikwerres. Meanwhile, the late father of Nigeria’s nationalism, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, had discussed the best strategies for reducing the animosity between the Igbos and their Minority neighbours as well as dousing the ethnic tension between Ikwerres and their riverine co-indigenes of Rivers State. It was agreed that as the touted largest Minority group, the Ijaw needed a state of their own. But with their emotional attachment to Port Harcourt, how would Rivers State be split without creating a permanent ethnic war front in Nigeria’s premier oil city? With the Ijaw groups obviously being favoured by the Northern-led Federal Government, Eze Woluchem, a lawyer who was installed paramount ruler of Port Harcourt in 1977 turned to Dr Azikiwe, appealing for him to support the aspirations of his Igbo kinsmen in the struggle. An ageing “Zik” referred the Eze’s delegation to Commodore ukiwe, who had become Zik’s close political confidant. The Eze’s delegation of four, which included the late Chief Okogbule Wonodi and Chief Andrew Uchendu, met with ukiwe in his office in Victoria Island. Their proposal was that Port Harcourt State should only be for Igbo-speaking Rivers people, while the Ijaw-speaking part would be named New Rivers State. On the other hand, the Kalabaris did not want to be parted with Rivers State, neither did the Okrikas, and ukiwe advised that it would be “unstrategic” to cut out Bonny, Opobo, Kalabari and Okrika, apart from the fact that the Head of State, General Abacha, who was pro-Ijaw, might be pushed not to create any new state at all. Between ukiwe and the Ikwerre delegation, and taking into account the expressed needs of others, the maps of the present Rivers State and Bayelsa State were drawn and presented to Abacha, who found it acceptab |

[b] An Igbo man in search of residential accommodation is prepared to pay rent for even your kitchen store. Within a week of his moving in, about half a dozen “brothers” come to “visit” him; within a fortnight more of them arrive. He then pleads with you to allow them temporary accommodation in the house but soon they have become permanent and taken every available space in your house. There would be nothing wrong with this if they remained as tenant. But the sad part of it is that before the owner knows what is happening these tenants are dangling money before his eyes for the purchase of the house itself or the adjoining land. The money comes to hand quite easily either through concerted efforts or some wealthy “brothers” or the tribal union, and overnight the owner of the house becomes a tenant on his own land. In like manner, they have surreptitiously ousted “nationals” of the other regions from their market stalls, from their shops, from the rubber plantations and other forms of human endeavour. One may say, it is the stupidity of the other people. Is it any wonder then that some other regions in the federation entertain fear of possible Igbo domination? IT IS TO BE HOPED THAT THEY DO NOT BECOME LIKE THE JEWS , objects of castigation and contempt for their industry and adventurous spirit.~ Oba Akenzua 1965 [/b] 3 Likes |

How can Oba Akenzua who the Yoruba controlled AG had in their pocket lead the creation of Midwest, when the Yoruba controlled AG fought tooth and nail to retain the mid west under the western region Edoids and Ijaws must know that this generation of Ndiigbo will not allow any mis information, lies or propaganda that intends to diminish Igbo achievements or paint Igbo bad, stand.

BTW Ijaws are fighting and grabbing everybody's land as they go along. They fight with Urhobos, Itsekiris, and now Edos for Gelegele: BENIN—ELDERS and political leaders from Edo South senatorial district of Edo State, weekend, announced plans to forward the problems of Bini Kingdom, to President Muhammadu Buhari, through the state governor, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole. The elders, on the leadership of the Enogie of Obazuwa and chairman Benin Leaders of Thought, Prince Edun Akenzua, listed some of the problems as the non-implementation of the Supreme Court ruling over the ownership of Gelegele between the Binis and the Ijaws. Prince Akenzua, who also is the younger brother of the Oba of Benin said: “There are very many things that the Buhari administration will look into in Benin Kingdom. I don’t think it is something one can talk about right now because they are so many. We are preparing a paper which we will send to the President through the governor of Edo State, to say, look these things have been on, try and correct them. For instance, there has been a Supreme Court judgment over the ownership of Gelegele which has not been enforced. “We have done a paper before the governor, and of course the governor promised to send it to the federal government but you know, because he is not in their party they did not listen to him. That is one of the things we will urge the present administration to execute. We have been asking that the rail line in Nigeria should pass through Edo South to Warri. That was not done. We have been asking for the Gelegele Port which is a natural port to be built into a port, that was not done. We will chronicle all these problems and send them to the President through the governor,” he stated. |
