I lived in Afam estate and had my primary school in the PHCN school there so at least I have a little knowledge of what goes on. I am also from a village called Afam in ihiala of Anambra state and we have a historical relation with the people of Afam Ukwu so at least I am conversant with the history. In my opinion I feel the people of Oyigbo are primarily the cause of their problems. Their political non participation and their leaders are extremely corrupt. I could remember one of our drivers then complaining bitterly of how the town elders shared over 200m given to them by Daewoo without doing anything with it. Secondly , the people of Oyigbo town are very dirty and lack maintenance culture; the drainage on the afam road and old aba road are among the best in the world but the people deliberately stuff the gutters with dirt and let it get blocked. So tell me how that place won't stink. When I occasionally to afam I weep for those living close to that school area because it stinks. What did Oforji do for you guys after serving as Chairman and a member of state assembly and a close friend to Wike?

You really understand Oyigbo,but you know that lack of political participation is as a result of many years of intimidation and betrayals. Prior to 2007 there were rural communities elections don't hold as claimed by many in the knowledge.Yes the older politicians and kings are very corrupt accept gifts from companies and pretend these companies have not done anythonh. Prior to 1999 there were Shell secondary school scholarships forms shared by families who send their kids to Rumukrushi Community school to write a standard test and are paid 15,000 per term which was more than sufficient ,then wives of kings started taking 60% of the forms hire buses and take children of non indegiens who they payoff once and continue to file generated results to the CLO office in Shell and take payments for 6years per child,now the forms have disappeared. Companies now pay cash to interest groups rather than on community projects which will serve everyone. Yet since the LGA barely produces insignificant votes the state doesn't have time for a people that are not politically relevant.
For the cleanup,before there was monthly sanitation, God bless you your environment isn't clean and the inspectors come,this has disappeared as each chairman comes to use the office as retirement venture and the party wants all the money for the chieftains. It was so bad every chairman who is elected signs off millions for furniture before anything,the amount can fix 3 streets.
The essence of this thread is,pls everyone in Oyigbo take a picture and share it here of roads and facilities that have gone so bad let the world see and maybe the state if really they don't know
please keep the pictures coming,real pictures not internet photos

The CTC chairman of Oyigbo needs to do something concerning the dirts littered everywhere.
Sometimes when I'm in Oyigbo it feels like I'm already in Aba because of the gabbage everywhere.

Amarabae see your community

Some say dirt collection was taken over by the state government and presently I think most LGA have to wait for the truck of the state PDP chieftain to come before it it evacuated and I kept asking how about mobilizing trucks once a week to argument at least to clear the roads. But you know corruption or negligence has a way of stagnating everything. Just trucks and men paid daily rates to clear these things and designate points for pickup that's all

Oyivgr:

While I don't want this thread turning into this twist I can do with little education, you can tell me who the settlers were with dates with dates not just newspaper articles of people between 1992 and now.
Yes my parents were born before 1920 and their great grand parents were real sons of Oyigbo who were Ndoki and Asa.
Just to confirm did you know there are the Oyigbo Bini people in Ondo who speak a different language and not Yoruba? Did you know there is the Asa River also in Kwara?
Have you ever heard of a core Oyigbo son who was killed swimming in the IMO River,Blue Sea or near the Nwanji river like the settlers? Wondered why?
Maybe I can learn from you about my people who have over 1000years of accountable history

U don't seem to get me. I was asking if original settlers in obigbo weren't ndoki and asa and both these groups are igbos.

The Aminadokiari people need to hold themselves & their leaders responsible, they sold their lands to dirty ppl

Just to confirm did you know there are the Oyigbo Bini people in Ondo who speak a different language and not Yoruba? Did you know there is the Asa River also in Kwara?

This one is already thinking of fabricating his own Bini fable story of Origin. Oyigbo that was just renamed in the 70's from Obigbo is now related to a Bini speaking town in Ondo state in 2017.

The Igbos( who I'm interested to know if your fellow Asa people in Ukwa West and Ndoki in Ukwa East in Abia state are not part of) are now the cause of your problems in Oyigbo.

Your Ikwerre overlords that had lorded over the state for 10 years now, who get huge allocations from FG on the basis of big oil contributions which Oyigbo contribute a lion share of, but decided to invest them all in Ikwerreland, and refused to site any tangible government project in your communities are angels, it's the non indegenes from SE who buy your land at reasonable cost and build structures and businesses that the indigenes tax, and your brothers in Ukwa who use your LGA quota to seek for jobs, that are now the cause of your woes. Every of your woes must be caused by the SE.

You must watch it, the path you are trading is a slippery path, I'm happy the majority of Oyigbo people are not trading this your path now

My dear I need you to watch the interview on the story about true history of Nigeria. The interview by the Northern Elites about the character of the South Easterners and why the nothernization began. The elderly South Easterners in Oyigbo have never released a statement saying Oyigbo is an Igbo land.Oyigbo has been the most accommodating to the Easterners of all the LGAs in Rivers and even asked Rivers once to allow it join Abia but not because they are IBO's but that maybe Abia will develop it.
While I don't know your offence in my question to him asking if "Oyigbo Bini in Ondo is also Igbo land" or the ASA river in Kwara is also Igbo river I just wanted to test his knowledge of history but as its the case with all children of 1989 upwards who heard the oil wells in the Oyigbo urban was named Obigbo,they concluded its Igbo land.
This post if you read properly was to draw attention of low performance of Oyigbo political holders and call to engage the easterners who are only interested in claiming the land as their own and owe no sense of development other than sponsor candidates for the chairmanship for the business interest. We might need you to at least
1.have a voters card since Oyigbo is your land and help us contribute more votes as Rivers only implements development to areas that contributes more votes
2.stay in Oyigbo during census and be counted so that the LGA real population can be counted since you own the place with us.As all LGA with 250,000+ in population have 2 members in the state assembly, not run back to the east each time and every December only to come back to claim ownership
3. Join us to build more standard hospitals and markets other than just filling stations as that was why we sold the lands to you when we couldn't find our own rivers brothers to come to develop us. All your people are mostly traders at least it will be nice if there are standard markets but no you prefer to sell on the road causing traffic and has to be driven like animals by every new chairman who comes. You even have the main market Chairman since 1995 as how many core locals trade?
We even have given identification letters to many of you will it be too hard to ask you be useful to us at least a little other than still want us to allow you do IPOB protests on our roads when PH doesn't allow you.
I wonder why non of you ever goes to work in the state government during recruitments but use our letters to pursue federal jobs like police and company jobs which the locals know nothing about (Rivers state judiciary just concluded accepting hope your kins applied because I don't know why those who got out identification never applies,maybe as they will be posted to come to work in Oyigbo and mightn't defend where they are from when posted and will work with core locals.Pls ask them to apply since they have the identification)
We don't have anything against the IBO's in Oyigbo,they have been peaceful but these online claims each time tend to make us wonder if its the younger generation or confused outsiders either way we will like you to at least join us to attract more development not just buy all our lands to lay claims.
This post is calling on our leaders to serve us better not in anyway attack your stay because if you watch we have no worries as you always run home,lol...just kidding

@Oyivgr

Let me get you.

Are you saying that Ndoki And Asa people in Abia state are Ibos( Whatever that means) while you Ndokis and Asas in Oyigbo are Bini people who migrated from a Bini speaking town called Oyigbo in Ondo state?

I just can't seem to wrap my head around that part of your post.

.

1.have a voters card since Oyigbo is your land and help us contribute more votes as Rivers only implements development to areas that contributes more votes
2.stay in Oyigbo during census and be counted so that the LGA real population can be counted since you own the place with us.As all LGA with 250,000+ in population have 2 members in the state assembly, not run back to the east each time and every December only to come back to claim ownership

Good points! But all these can be discussed and brainstormed upon at Ohanaeze caucus meeting.

You want Oyigbo populated with Igbos who would "Indigenize" and become real citizens of the land, to give you more political footing in Rivers politics and not traders that travel home at the end of the day.

It's easy, we all sit down and discuss it, so that in future, people won't come and be pointing fingers at others for invading their lands.

What you notice at Oyigbo also happens in Aba, during Christmas or elections, non Indigenous Igbos there, ie non Ngwas leave Aba for their hometowns, same happens in Onitsha, Enugu and other major towns and cities in Igboland.
No Igbo man considers where is not his fatherland, home, even within the SE, that's why when people speak of Igbo land grabbing I become dumbfounded. It is not peculiar to Oyigbo.

Isn't it funny that you speak of your "Rivers brothers", you exonerate them of all blames and place them on SEners in your land.
Where is your blame for your "rivers brothers" who had marginalized you and taken your share of development using their numbers to intimidate you.
Your Rivers brothers in Tai that rather than buy your lands like SEners do, decided to take it from you by force, I still remember that clash at Okoroma between Oyigbo people and Ogonis, funny enough, you needed the help of your Ndoki brothers in Abia state to hold your stand until the government intervened.

You have no iota of resentment or anger for your Rivers brothers that produce less crude oil than Oyigbo but use their bigger population to take lion share of projects in Rivers state, leaving Oyigbo to decay.

Federal government share money according to how much each state contributes, first and foremost,before population consideration, which is why states like Akwa ibom and Bayelsa sometimes receive 5 times allocation of Ebonyi state, even though Ebonyi has more population than Bayelsa.
Why then is Rivers state revenue sharing formula and project citing not taking cognizant of the contribution of LGA to Rivers state oil production?

Shouldn't you be wondering why Oyigbo receive less projects from RVSG than LGAs like Emohua and the rest in Ikwerre and Ijoid areas that their contribution to Rivers oil are no match for Oyigbo who are but second to ONELGA?

Delta state has an oil producing area commission that rewards communities according to how much crude oil they produce, why is there no such in Rivers?

Why are you not asking these questions, or is it easier to lay your blames on SEners?

All your anger and resentment in typical manner is reserved for the SEners who you go about looking for petty reasons to hold culpable for your misfortunes.

The bulk of the so called IBOS using your Oyigbo LGA identification letter for work are your fellow Ndoki and Asas from Ukwa part of Abia, I should know this because I have an Azumini friend and I know what's up, I could have said more on this, but I don't want to be implicating anyone.
So you can drop this your IBO this, IBO that angle, you can as well declare Oyigbo as an independent ethnic group and deny your IBO brothers in Ukwa Abia state, your new found Rivers brothers would continue to discriminate against you, and wont fail to lay claim to your boundary lands when they could.

If I were you, I would drop this your new Igbophobic campaign, as until you do that, nothing else you do would matter, as it would be impossible to explain to Ikwerre overlords that Ndokis ans Asas in Abia are proudly Igbo people, while those in Rivers are Oyigbo tribe that migrated from Bini speaking town in Ondo, it won't help you, that identity crisis thing haven't helped Etche your neighbors who had started towing Ikwerre path. You would only get yourself wedged in the centre of Igbophobic entities who would continue to treat you as Igbos, and Igbos who would now hate you for your denial.

There are better ways at brainstorming this your. problem, but you must drop this your "we no be Ibo" mantra.

I like us to drop this ethnic thing as its derailing this thread.
Understand my point in my call for better governance as some noted in a post on Facebook;Abe won senatorial district with 125,000 for senate and Mpigi 48,000 for reps votes in this Oyigbo only added 10,000+ and was shared about 60/40 between PDP and APC,which government will take such lga serious? An LGA in last census with 148,000 persons and over 65,000 registered voters. That is the deal,forget corruption of the leaders there the LGA is not relevant politically and even those calling me names here have no voters card.That is me asking all residents to attempt to do what is needful.Imagine in the 48000 votes for house of reps if the people (non locals who are many) voted more it gives the LGA an edge to decide voting even if not in governorship but in reps and Senate as all contestants must approach it making promises to get such huge votes.Did you know Odili had to promise to give Oyigbo Commissioner in 2003 and Oyigbo delivered 50,000 votes.
I am asking every resident to work for the good of the LGA which can only be achieved through voting strength for now and in no way blaming anyone. For now the only way to get the attention of the state is gather enough votes to decide not just chairmanship but reps and Senate for the region.Imagine if Oyigbo has a whether he is Asa or Ndoki or a settler as Senator and Reps member? Each caretaker committee always have at least 2 non indegiens to represent such interest.
Really wouldn't reply any of these ethnic lines as though was not intention of this thread rather to paint present scenarios just like presently Oyigbo PDP has 2 camps just to be the one to decide who becomes what rather than support the people who have gotten the ears of the governor presently in power.
Will the history of Oyigbo or our opinion on it clear this dirty in this thread or fix the roads,that should be the question

We have heard you dear,pls move on now.
You want to be Rivers governor right,with 10,000 votes you add at each election in an election the senator alone pulls 125,000 votes right...wakeup dear you seem to always in mood for fights.
Sure wouldn't reply you again as I have asked severally what way have you helped the LGA other than look for your brothers to fight online whos only crime is post the dirty abandoned by a school. Goodluck on your ambition
Modified: Please Shell Livewire programme is on for Male and female applicants who are indigenes of communities in the following Local Government Areas of Rivers State: Eleme, Tai, and Gokana.Can you help us confirm why Oyigbo is not included;is it Belema Oil that is incharge of the oil wells now? Maybe at least that can make someone useful

@Oyivgr

What I sense in you is a man who would not place the blame for Oyigbo lack of development where it belongs, which is at the door steps of Ikwerre and other Riverine power brokers, who having dubiously used Population rather than contribution of LGAs as the benchmark for distribution of resources and projects in Rivers state, had ended up marginalizing and shortchanging Oyigbo which contribute so much, but have meagre official population. Oyigbo small population can never be a justification for the kind of marginalization Oyigbo had suffered in Rivers state, Bayelsa is the least populated state in Nigeria but still receive large monthly allocation.

You want to acquire the New clothing of "Rivers man" while shading the old clothing of Igbo, even if it means denying both Ndoki and Asa in Ukwa who remain Igbo.
You are already thinking that fellow Igbos are the cause of your problems.
So you don't want to piss the Rivers people off by reminding them of their injustice towards Oyigbo, since you want them to accept you, even if as a second class Rivers man, you had quickly started the Igbo blame game to please them and curry their favour.

I'd have to warn you of the dangers of your current stand.

Get your head off Rivers people ass, and see that they had completely marginalized Oyigbo, they had used your oil contribution allocations to better themselves and their places while Oyigbo remain in decay.
Oyigbo lacks government presence, and it wasn't caused by SEners in your midst, stop taking out your frustrations and misgivings on them.

Ponder on this.

You win dear,though I sense you are not in politics in Rivers to understand all minorities suffer same fate not just Oyigbo and while everyone has designed a way to negotiate their way Oyigbo elites and residents as busy forming camps against each other.
You are correct, but I don't live in the LGA and where I live has the best amenities and feel no frustration at all.In fact I have no connection aside that am from there,so the bad roads you all suffer and heap of dirty has no effect on me.
Funny part is my post says the leaders there are not helping hence the unhealthy dirty you guys get to live with; will ignore every other opinion we fight about.
Can you pls get boys clear those dirty as its no fault of other LGA that dirty are not cleared... let's stop derailing the thread pls.I have apologized and agree you are right but pls who is supposed to clear the dirty
While you think I am wrong that we need votes of non indegiens,my message has been acknowledged by the ruling class and confirmed by the recent post of the protocol officer on his post on Facebook " Akaya Stanlayson" .
You can check his wall on the need for the LGA to have more votes (indegiens are few and the non indegiens needs to be carried along to ensure they vote).
In all if Oyigbo is developed you resident there will enjoy it not me

Rivers state government owes Oyigbo a duty to build up roads there and sanitize the area.

Oyigbo contributes more to Rivers state huge federal government monthly allocation than all Rivers state LGA barring ONELGA, why have Ijaws and Ikwerre people that ruled Rivers state decided to treat Oyigbo like this, why why?

This should be the question on everyone mouth. Other than that Songhai farm that was brought to Oyigbo, which is not even a government institution, nothing else to show Oyigbo is part of Rivers state. If this were Igbos treating other groups like this, the news would be all over the net.

The neglect of Oyigbo should by now have become a pan Igbo question and struggle, but SE is politically fragmented at this point in history with no strong pan Igboist leaders. I saw Ekweremadu opening a road project in Etche the other day and I wept! Why was he not using that opportunity to bring the plight of Oyigbo to the government, doesn't he feel like he owe Oyigbo something, I'm sure Zik would have.

Either way, you don't cut your nose to spite your face, Igbo leadership in this era have failed all Igbo people but that's not why you should start the identity crisis game, it hasn't helped Etche yet.

Recently, Rivers state polytechnic was about to be relocated, after the one at Bori was renamed after Ken Saro Wiwa. I was in Ekpeye, Etche forums and saw how these people lobbied and cried that this school be sited in their location, I was wondering why the school shouldn't be sited in Oyigbo too to give the area a government presence.

But what happened? Wike took this school to Ikwerreland, an area already saturated with government presence, and non of these groups( Ekpeye and Etche) are today screaming Ikwerre domination, I followed the saga all through, and I began imagining if it were the Igbo that did that. Of course all hell will break out.

I'm well aware of neglect that minority areas like Etche, Ekpeye, Oyigbo, suffer in Rivers and the concentration of everything in Rivers state in Ikwerreland( PH) , but I'm only baffled that these groups rather grumble in silence than scream domination! It's a wonder.


Meanwhile, on the dirt, the chairman should impose levies on those within the area, the traders mainly and clear the dirt, I don't see any big deal in clearing a dirt that a LG Chairman can't handle and then put a task force in place to arrest those who are caught dumping refuse in public places indiscriminately.

I felt so ashamed of Oyigbo people the other day when they boldly denied being Igbo in the midst of me and some Ikwerre men. I no longer regard them as Igbo henceforth and I can't partake in anything Igbo with Oyigbo people included.

Wike is doing 2 roads for them and it's commendable as Amaechi neglected them completely.

Oyivgr:

My dear I need you to watch the interview on the story about true history of Nigeria. The interview by the Northern Elites about the character of the South Easterners and why the nothernization began. The elderly South Easterners in Oyigbo have never released a statement saying Oyigbo is an Igbo land.Oyigbo has been the most accommodating to the Easterners of all the LGAs in Rivers and even asked Rivers once to allow it join Abia but not because they are IBO's but that maybe Abia will develop it.
While I don't know your offence in my question to him asking if "Oyigbo Bini in Ondo is also Igbo land" or the ASA river in Kwara is also Igbo river I just wanted to test his knowledge of history but as its the case with all children of 1989 upwards who heard the oil wells in the Oyigbo urban was named Obigbo,they concluded its Igbo land.
This post if you read properly was to draw attention of low performance of Oyigbo political holders and call to engage the easterners who are only interested in claiming the land as their own and owe no sense of development other than sponsor candidates for the chairmanship for the business interest. We might need you to at least
1.have a voters card since Oyigbo is your land and help us contribute more votes as Rivers only implements development to areas that contributes more votes
2.stay in Oyigbo during census and be counted so that the LGA real population can be counted since you own the place with us.As all LGA with 250,000+ in population have 2 members in the state assembly, not run back to the east each time and every December only to come back to claim ownership
3. Join us to build more standard hospitals and markets other than just filling stations as that was why we sold the lands to you when we couldn't find our own rivers brothers to come to develop us. All your people are mostly traders at least it will be nice if there are standard markets but no you prefer to sell on the road causing traffic and has to be driven like animals by every new chairman who comes. You even have the main market Chairman since 1995 as how many core locals trade?
We even have given identification letters to many of you will it be too hard to ask you be useful to us at least a little other than still want us to allow you do IPOB protests on our roads when PH doesn't allow you.
I wonder why non of you ever goes to work in the state government during recruitments but use our letters to pursue federal jobs like police and company jobs which the locals know nothing about (Rivers state judiciary just concluded accepting hope your kins applied because I don't know why those who got out identification never applies,maybe as they will be posted to come to work in Oyigbo and mightn't defend where they are from when posted and will work with core locals.Pls ask them to apply since they have the identification)
We don't have anything against the IBO's in Oyigbo,they have been peaceful but these online claims each time tend to make us wonder if its the younger generation or confused outsiders either way we will like you to at least join us to attract more development not just buy all our lands to lay claims.
This post is calling on our leaders to serve us better not in anyway attack your stay because if you watch we have no worries as you always run home,lol...just kidding

It is very obvious you are not a good student of History, better still, you don't know your history. If you have ever come to terms with the 1976 boundary commission that ceded the 17villages of Asa and Ndoki people to Rivers state on the basis that the natural boundary should be with a River. And I believe you aren't aware of the court cases that ensued till 1983 when the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Rivers state. If you will also recall that protest from this villages prevented Tam David West, the commissioner of education in Rivers state from erecting any billboard at any of the schools because the villagers protested to be returned to the Old Imo state ruled by Sam Mbakwe. to clear you further, my uncle had his secondary education in Obigbo and it Bears Imo state as of 1977. It will suffice you to know that the original boundary of the then eastern state was Iriebe and not Imo Rive. I believe this court case link of 1983 will clarify your myopic mind ''http://metropole.ng/justicemedia/ag-imo-state-vs-ag-rivers-state/'' stop denying your origin because of simple oil. You are in Rivers no doubt but understand your history first before you play politics with it. thanks

Rivers state government owes Oyigbo a duty to build up roads there and sanitize the area.

Oyigbo contributes more to Rivers state huge federal government monthly allocation than all Rivers state LGA barring ONELGA, why have Ijaws and Ikwerre people that ruled Rivers state decided to treat Oyigbo like this, why why?

This should be the question on everyone mouth. Other than that Songhai farm that was brought to Oyigbo, which is not even a government institution, nothing else to show Oyigbo is part of Rivers state. If this were Igbos treating other groups like this, the news would be all over the net.

The neglect of Oyigbo should by now have become a pan Igbo question and struggle, but SE is politically fragmented at this point in history with no strong pan Igboist leaders. I saw Ekweremadu opening a road project in Etche the other day and I wept! Why was he not using that opportunity to bring the plight of Oyigbo to the government, doesn't he feel like he owe Oyigbo something, I'm sure Zik would have.

Either way, you don't cut your nose to spite your face, Igbo leadership in this era have failed all Igbo people but that's not why you should start the identity crisis game, it hasn't helped Etche yet.

That's the purpose of this thread,address why instead of come together the elites fight amongst themselves and have no single part to play in the state.

But look at my view,since the area is so neglected ,its not about Amaechi or Wike.It can regain some prominence by achieving something it can use ,have reliable residents who are always there to vote. As I mentioned earlier when Odili saw this in 2003 he had to promise to give a commissioner,now the LGA barely adds 10,000 votes like Omuma and Etche which is basically useless hence they can afford to ignore them after all it's a peaceful LGA.
Hope you can understand me,they need to have something to bargain,as its a peaceful lga that can only come if they have state or federal players or vote solid vote count that the region they belong cannot ignore them

Aside the name dear tell me the detailed history of the ASA and Ndoki people you know mentioning composition of the communities take ASA for example and if you can give me a better detail than I know I will take a flight to come learn more from you.
Prior republics when Rivers and Bayelsa were together in the state assembly there were Oyigbo 1 and 2,pls tell me the areas of Rivers state that covered this areas I sincerely want to hear it from you.
In that suit, read it through and understand Ndoki was never called Obigbo,prior to Oyigbo there was the Tai/Eleme/Obigbo Local Government.
The suit came immediately there was oil.It was even about administration of Ndoki areas who were scattered in 3 states and the boundary commission acknowledged the clan was minority in Ukwa and no mention of Obigbo,who at this time was being laid claim by Bori. It didn't even mention Obigbo (which is the urban not the entire LGA) and it was when the IMO River was accepted as boundary Ndokis were asked to be administered with Obigbo in Rivers.I suggest you read that judgement properly http://metropole.ng/justicemedia/ag-imo-state-vs-ag-rivers-state/
There is a boundary town in Benue with Enugu they speak IBO and Idoma,they are not IBO's,there are also boundry town in Benue and cross River they chose what tribe they want and the worst you can do is come to tell them who they are. If you have been to Burutu in delta it shares boy dry with Ekeremor and Sagbama in Bayelsa,every family holds identification of both states but gues s what each village/island who has no more than 150 persons have an history.
It is so wrong to want to tell a people who they are.Tell me one way oyigbo people have benefited from the oil? Doesn't it surprise you yet they have remained peaceful,Ban Goi is an Ogoni village by Afam they are very quiet and peaceful,are they also IBO's?
Are Etche and Omuma people IBO's too? you guys need to relax and allow each people chose who they want to be called. You cannot force it,every human alteast deserve that,to be allowed to be who he wants

joeprince23:
as an oyigbo son, i think rivers state govt have failed us ndoki/asa people. that port hacourt toll gate at iriebe should be relocated to oyigbo xpress cause we are the cash cow of this state

amarabae abeg come o,this one concern us oyigbo people

I wonder if you are true Obigbo chap. I have termed Obigbo as anything other than Obigbo. The "Oyigbo" is fake and sometimes names determine the treatment. When people solidly represent themselves in a given society, they usually attract the respect of other people. However when a group fly under the cover of given name, such group only attracts disdain. I was born and raised few miles from Obigbo and will never change mind to Oyigbo as a name.

You speak on issues you know nothing about.

Asa people in Ukwa West of Abia state remains Igbo. This is the truth. Likewise the Ndoki in Ukwa East of Abia state.

Oyigbo was carved out of old Imo state and added into old Rivers state( Bayelsa and Rivers) by mammar Nasir boundary readjustment commission of 1976 I'm surprised you don't know this very tiny bit of history, yet you claim to be from Oyigbo, are you sure you are not an Ogoni man claiming Oyigbo?

You speak of Obolo afor? They are Igbos and don't deny their origin, they are bilingual in Igbo and Idoma to enable easy communications with their Idoma neighbors.

Burutu and Ekermo people don't deny their Izon origin just because they are in Delta or Bayelsa state, they remain proudly Izon, maybe you should learn from them. State creation doesn't change your ethnicity.

Ban goi people? You already said they are Ogoni speaking, what else are you looking for, Ofcourse they are Ogonis, if Ogoni succeeded in their plans to get a foothold in Okoroma, ofcourse, you would also end up sharing it with them, and those Ogonis would remain Ogonis and not turn Igbo.

Etche people have their people in Ngo okpala in Imo state who remain Igbos, but Etche had since rebranded themselves and declared themselves ethnic nationality, cuting off ties with their brothers in Imo.

If you want to toe Etche and Omuma path, maybe it's time you Pause and think.
Etche have the population to hold off any aggressors in Rivers state, not long ago they were fighting over boundary lands with Ikwerres, and they stood their ground, they have the numbers. Their brothers they left in Imo state are just few towns, not even up to an LGA.
And I don't even think Etche people are faring better in Rivers, despite their recent "I no be Ibo" rebranding, their area remain neglected like Oyigbo in Rivers, while the. Keep priding themselves of being the food basket of Rivers state.

Asa and Ndoki in Oyigbo on the other hand lack the numbers, and your Ogoni neighbors know this, you depend on the Ndoki and Asa population in Abia state to keep them(Ogonis) at bay.
The day you cut off your ties with your Ndoki and Asa brothers in Abia and launch this your Oyigbo ethnic group experiment, is the day you sealed your bad fate, and your larger neighbors eyeing your lands would pounce.
This is not scaremongering, this is advice.

By the way, no one is forcing any identity on anyone, when I was in Azumini, my friend took me to Egbelu in Oyigbo, where we met family friends of his, not for once did I get this your air of "I no be Ibo" from them, we all interacted in Igbo language.

Some people are slow.

The divide and rule attempt obviously but someone can't see it and even entertaining it. Really? I'm not talking about the OP but for the ones falling for OP's oyigbo identity claiming.
Pazienza sometimes you seriously need to start thinking instead of going on defensive mood.

It's not everyone you should give your attention to. There's a reason both joeprince and Amarabae are ignoring the OP.

Very true only amarabae has been offline since June 8,do you need data to check her profile
for the other ,he is a very good friend only wants to fight...yeah he is a good Oyigbo son with his interest, you haven't figured.
Nice we noticed you,if you don't have identity what are you even Chimpanzees know where they are from and don't run to places to force identity.
While I have allowed them derail this thread,which he can read the suit he mentioned to see they don't even know the place they were born all they care is the name was changed... was Ndoki Obigbo in 1976 NO...atleast learn this from me

Obigbo township was never in Old Rivers state, it was in old East central state, in exactly the part of the East central state that became Imo state. How hard is this for you to understand?
It was only renamed Oyigbo after it was transferred to old Rivers state.
