Hmmmm.. Nigeria which way.

Turantula:
That was the same with the jews in europe during the 19th and 20th century

Jews have intelligent leader who don't look for trouble or hate his accommodator.

From the moment you referred to Oyibo as Obigbo,it shows you are IPOB,take it or leave it.

Ever8090:
They chased the protesters to protect their mosque in "Elelenwo axis" then fight started in obibo abi?..hmmmm

If the protesters were on peaceful protest, then what was the fulanis chasing them for?..

You see ehn.. Nnamdi Kanu never kill una finish...make Una dey listen to that hunchback albino...

My dear people, I live in PH, I have a property in Obigbo and I have friends, workers and relatives residing in Obigbo. I get in contact with them everyday to get updates of happenings there.

The Wike narratives that Ipob are causing trouble in Obigbo always is just a smoke screen employed by him to vent his pathological hatred on the Igbos.

....the marginalization against the Igbos won't stop unless Lord lugard and his friends rose from their various graves to dismantle the false amalgamation of a continent as country

First of all, let me state categorically that I’am not a member, a support or a fan of Ipob because of personal reasons not relevant here. It’s obvious that the majority of IPOB members in Obigbo are from Etche and Eleme, both are in Rivers state.

The main fracas that triggered the mayhem in Obigbo during the peaceful #EndSars protest was caused by the Fulani/ Northern moslem community who confronted the protesters on a Friday after their routine prayers. They chased the protesters with weapons, in a bid to protect their main mosque at Elelenwo axis but were overpowered by the protesters who actually didn’t attack their mosque as expected but inflicted several and severe wounds on the Fulani youths.

Later that night, the Fulanis brought in their deadly herdsmen around Iriebe where the fulanis have a market (yam zone) but the youths of Obigbo and the IPOB came together to resist the herdsmen and drove them away, of course there were casualties on both sides. This culminated into the burning of properties belonging to both sides and spilled over to the burning of the police station at Obigbo when it was seen that the police was on the side of the herdsmen.

Later that day, the Fulani called in the army from Bori camp because the tide was turned against them. It was at this point that Wike took over when some 6 soldiers were disarmed and killed including 3 policemen. Rather than hold the two sides responsible, Wike’s govt hung every thing on the IPOB, criminalized them and declared an indirect warfare on the Igbos, in the name of hounding the IPOB members.

The soldiers have carefully killed many people in revenge and 99% of the main and collateral victims are Igbos. Right now there’s a house to house hunting of Igbo youths in the name of searching for missing military guns. All these are happening within Wike’s imposed total curfew meant to keep the youths indoors for easier capture.

Note that Obigbo is an abandoned LGA in Rivers state, because it is 90% populated by Igbos. There’s no govt presence, no roads, no light, and not even a good hospital or school. This is despite of the fact that there are several oil wells /fields and the popular Afam power station in Obigbo. The scandalous government neglect is deliberate and not unconnected with the obvious fact that Obigbo is igboland.

The nocturnal secret house to house search, arrest and maiming is still on going as many residents are still trapped and couldn’t escape in time.

The outcry for help should continue to high heavens until this govt backed mayhem stops.[/s]

Rubbish! From your topic, you already show you are an IPOB apologist. The moment I saw 'Obigbo' instead of 'Oyigbo', I knew your rubbish will be to defend the misguided Igbos in Oyigbo

Yours is a good account of what happened in Obigbo.
I live in Portharcourt, close to Artillery junction and remember how northern youths blocked the Aba road from UBA down to Oil mill. Those of them who tried venturing into Elelenwo were beaten mercilessly. From that moment I knew army would be involved in the matter sooner.
The killing of security personnel in Obigbo started about two weeks before the endsars protest with the cold blood murder of a SARS operative. With some hoodlums in that area making some bold statements like, "we don't want to see SARS here". SARS retaliated in a cool covert manner, the residents went to plead with them. That matter was under management before the riot broke out.
Actually there had been some elements who because of the nature of Obigbo had taken that as safe haven. Surely these people are not IPOB since they never carried out their activities under the umbrella. I strongly suspect there is a criminal cell operating in that area that are not comfortable with security personnel presence.
Army were right to move in, but the way they went about killing at random and house to house picking of young people without any form of investigation was unprofessional and a pure work of unchecked emotions

The Army was not right to move in, the Army is not a crime fighting organisation. The constitution clearly stated the role of the Army as that of external security and territorial integrity. The role of going after criminals is the job of the police. The only time the Army is allowed to intervene in civil matters is where the Police are overwhelmed and need back up. Even as at that, it will still be a Police operation but with the Army in the background serving as support

This belief by some Nigerians that the Army has the right to come into a civilian criminal matters is totally wrong and unconstitutional. The training of the Army is different from that of the Police, thats why the Army is never used for unrest or crime unless the Police are overwhelmed

Wike's narrative is that IPOB just got up one morning and started killing people, burning down Police stations and destroying lives and property

God punish Wike

What many people don't understand is when you support evil against someone due to your hatred for him/her, you have only emboldened the oppressor and with time such evil will be meted out on you.
We should try to denounce evil at every point irrespective of who is at the receiving end.

N. B: I'm not ibo neither do I support ipob

Anyone gulity of killing innocent unarmed people should be
brought to book. No matter who you are or where you are from. ICCJ please take note.

Partly true. A measured response.

This thread is from an ipob sympathiser, the place is oyigbo not obigbo.

Noerection:
Wike 3 Ibos 0
Wike should continue giving them as e dey hot
They will soon become endangered species
If South Africans kill anybody today na dem they killed

If Indonesia kill anybody today na them they killed

If Ghanaians lynch anybody na dem they lynched

Tribalism has dealt with you.

I'm sure that you don't have a job or decent accommodation. Leave tribalism and hustle baba

I honestly believe this account because prior to hearing about any chaos in Obigbo, I overheard a conversation of a woman speaking on the phone telling another person that Hausas are chasing EndSars protesters in Rivers with cutlass. I didn't think much of it then.

But the original name of the place up until 1976 was Obigbo, until it was changed to Oyigbo by the military.

Strangers cannot change my name for me.

Typical IPOB account of events. All lies. And calling Oyigbo by another name just exposes the author's allegiance.

Do you wake up with IPOB on your mind ??

PROUDIGBO:
And the useless Ohaneze that ought to be the mouthpiece of Ndigbo was so scared of coming out boldly to fight our corner.....they had to include IPOB when apportioning blame! The fools and any other bastard blaming Igbos for defending themselves in their own land against state-backed Fulani marauders probably would have wanted them to turn the other cheek and then sit down quietly!

OP, thanks for shedding light on what actually happened! Your report sounds reasonable and is most likely what happened!

I would expect Ohaneze, IPOB and the NBA to be heading to the ICC at The Hague to file criminal charges of genocide against Buhari, Wike and the Nigerian army!

I blame Nnamdi Kanu though, the way he talked made it seem like ipob was the aggressors.. And people watching what he says won't know the true nature of things.. He should be wise not to make the oppressed look like the oppressor

GodHatesBigots:

You can't miss IPOBians and their stupidity even if you close your eyes. Can't they just for once speak the truth? I guess their whole existence is based on the lies perpetuated by that fraudster from East London.

You seem to see an IPOB stamp on every Igbo man which makes you actually quite daft and unreasonable.

You dey mind them? As if its the first time IPOB will attack Northerners at Oyigbo....

GodHatesBigots:

Another silly response from you. Typical, ain't it?

The poster did not say he was Igbo, and not every IPOB member is Igbo, nor every Igbo person an IPOB member. I know that is difficult for a small-minded person like you to understand.

verifiablefacts:

Either IPOB or a proud woke Igbo man who knows his history and wouldn't allow nasty, 'one Nigerianist' bigots change it!

It was changed by Gazette, it is on another thread here.
But practically how come you all started calling the place obigbo emphatically and surprisingly coincidental to the activities of ipob members in that part of port Harcourt, Wike mentioned this name change. By whom, for whom and how?
This is no way to be welcome any where.

It was changed by gazette? Is that how the name of a community should be changed? If a community is going to change their name, it should be the community alone that should do that. Someone just came from nowhere and took out the "b" in Obigbo and replaced it with "y" in a bid to hide the fact it is an Igbo community, then carved the area into Rivers state. Thats not acceptable. Nobody has the right to change the name of Obigbo people

This is very sad. All this bloodshed because Wike thinks he will become Vice-President. He is even more useless than his oga Amaechi.
