nwanyionitsha:
Is ajimobi an igbo man ? Abi the obi in his name us confusing you.

Jahwinaboy:
Nwanyi relax. SS is not SE. Lets move on

Bannylove13:
Bro listen..
We learn daily..andoni is not igbo n don't speak igbo..
Ndoni is more closer to igbo ..closer to anambra by sea sea..river Niger route....map out by the military creation.

Rivers has alot of minorities..and it's mixed..pazienza was trying to expose you to this fact..

Uche is not igbo..but andoni..some of them don't even understand the igbo language..some are closer to opobo people.. who igbo mainland always mistaken to be igbos because the bear igbo names..

Forgetting that..is opobo get " house " arrangement.. and jaja rose from slave to be head of house..
They're mixed..

If you don't travel n see or meet this people..you won't understand what this guys are trying to expose you too..

We've been good neighbors with them over centuries..but should also respect the minorities..

I understand..but right here with pazienza..his not dividing anything..he clearly understand.

Jiria nwayo ga Udo chia....

nwanyionitsha:
And what was their role ?
Stop acting like an ignorant person.
Go and ask epe people if they are proud of their yoruba heritage.

Just as i thought...another Igbo-hating, 'we-south-south', insecure git! Always finding a way to spout anti-Igbo sentiments even when the occasion doesn't call for it!

Tell me, on what basis was Rivers State created that -according to you- groups placed in the state were determined not to be Igbo.....care to furnish us with links to the determining documents? On what basis did they determine that Obigbo wasn't Igbo? What criteria was used to divide Egbema into two, placing one part with more oyel and gas in Rivers while leaving the rest in Imo? On what basis do you determine that my place Ndoni, which was placed in Rivers is not Igbo but an ethnic nationality in its own right?

Are there Yoruba in Kwara and Kogi? If yes, what makes them Yoruba and keep their Yoruba identity but when it comes to Rivers Sate, the Igbo that were placed in the state in 1966 automatically lost theirs?

Lastly, what's your own ethnicity in this so called south-south?

Heartbender:
Your argument is mismanaged

Evercurious:
PLS STOP TALKING TRASH...I LIVE IN PORT HARCOURT TOO AND DONE SOME JOBS IN ANDONI... THAT NAME UCHE IS SPELT SAME AS UCHE IN IGBO BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT IN PRONUNCIATION AND MEANING...

ALSO HAD A COLLEAGUE FROM ANDONI BEARING THAT NAME..

RTSC:
If awolowo their sage can be the epitome of tribalism against nnamdi azikiwe, nobody in Yoruba land is above tribalism.

And when the tables turn, they will accuse the east of being the hateful ones.

Galaxyowerri:
These waste people are the worst tribalists in Nigeria!!
Last time was Fashola, a serving minister making divisive statement about why Yorubas should vote for Buhari for selfish reasons, now is a serving governor in a despicable show of shame!!
Nigerians are being elected into positions in UK, US etc but here in our own country, what do we have? Primitive I'd!it's saying nonsense everyday yet they want us to remain as one country when there is no basis at all.

Polchiz:
He should remove Uche from his name.

GermanPoison:
ur people are the most tribalistic human being in the whole nigeria awolowo wasn't about tribe we run a regional autonomy use what u have to develop your side what did azikiwe do for the east nothing but u guys knows how to lay blames on Yoruba u better query ur leaders to find something to do with desert area called southeast

Before you argue, have facts and sense. "Obibo" is a variant of Oyigbo (initially pronounced as Oyeebor just as Bundu was Gbundu) and it is never, and will never be Igbo. The only Igbo there is marijuana. You are the insecure one with unscrupulous facts. Nigeria began as a tripartite structure of North, West and East and not Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo. Every other ethnic group was lumped into these regions. You might as well call a man from Plateau or Benue state Hausa/ Fulani and perhaps witness your funeral. Who is insecure? The Igbo calling Port Harcourt Igweocha and claiming territories with their resources alien to them as theirs or the ones minding their business within the confines of their home lands? Have you heard the Oba of Benin or Obong of Calabar or Amayanabo of any Ijaw town claiming ownership of any lands in Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba? The problem with Nigeria is Hausa/ Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo. There's some method in the madness of "major tribe" shoved down every other's throats like ignorant bullies. But a day of reckoning is fast approaching and a new order would emerge

Warship:
The Yoruba people are always conscious of the Igbos while the Igbos don't care if they exist.

movetoca:
Lol Here in Rivers State we Riveran people call Ikwerre, Omoku, Ahoada and Etche people Igbos. Funny people claiming Edo as if Edo state can even be compared to Abia state.

erasmus101:
I can see here that many us don't even know Nigeria history,uche seconds is an Igbo man,son of the soil, nwa afo,we have good number of Igbo in Rivers, cross river, Edo,delta and benue state respectively

plaetton:
I am telling you.
When you think it cannot get worse in Nigeria.
Imagine a governor, on a political rally openly whipping up tribal sentiments of the very worst kind.

When are we all going to be honest with ourselves and agree with Awolowo, Gowon and Ahmadu Bello, who said it much much earlier in our history, ..that there exists no basis for United Nigeria.
If it was true then, it is even much muchTruer Today.

Otherwise, everyone will be going in circles for eternity.

NIGHTMARE0O7:
This exactly the problem , there is a family friend of us a woman from edo, those part edo close to delta, I was shocked the day I heard her brothers name is onyeka.
But they claim edo.

OK imagine if that onyeka commits crime of rape or fraud.
It will be reported "onyeka raped a woman"
And this afonja here will gather to shout igbo igbo BECOZ of the name onyeka.SMH

Awoo88:
Stop talking nonsense!!! Uche is uche and it have the same meaning. The Igbo names in ikwarre is the same in Igbo. In fact, ikwarre is IBO what owu is to the Yoruba

Binikingdowm:
there's no indigenous igbo in Edo.

Warship:
The Yoruba people are always conscious of the Igbos while the Igbos don't care if they exist.

prolog2:
nor in delta state

ayzTIGER:
Lies. Yoruba people no matter how highly ranked always see Igbo giants in their dream. Have you heard Yoruba from the mouth of any SE Local Government Chairman not to talk of a Governor.

Christistruth00:
Kanu was swearing at all the tribes in Nigeria calling some tribes cowards and implying they were zoo animals and some elders who should have corrected him lwere seen praying for him and blessing him on video. What were people supposed to think?

DauraIsAGoal:
Useless Yoruba Muslim

sogodihno:
shut up! but Obi called ACN a Yoruba party now.

BigIyanga:
Another false equivalence from an intellectualy-challenged viewpoint. No igbo leader.. like senator, governor, minister would speak like Ajimobi or Oba of Lagos.
