Wainey:
Opposition needs to be fiercely united to overthrow a ruling party.
You have SDP, APC, Accord etc all working differently and u want to overthrow PDP in Rivers state?

your point is valid, how I wish the likes of Dumo Lulu Briggs, Sobomabo Jack rich, Dawari George and Tonye Cole come together to form an alliance.
It would have being much better and stronger.

Sulele04:
What project did Ameachi execute in Rivers as minister of transportation.

Chibuike Amaechi is the best Governor of Rivers state since the return of democracy in 1999.
We are judging him based on his performance as Governor of Rivers state 2007-2015 and not as A minister under Buhari administration.

Wainey:
With the present Ijaws that arent united?

In which context? Do you mean by fielding different candidates in different parties? please, elucidate on your claim of disunity.

jamesversion:
Yes. They are a branch of the Ijaw franchise. An all comers, 'tower of babel' association spanning Igbos in Ndoki, Urohbos in Ofoni in Sagbama, Efiks/Ibibios in Ibeno, Edos in Owan, Yorubas in Ondo, etc

You say what?
yes, Ijaws are aborigines in 6 states.
in wike's voice " As e dey pain them, e go dey sweet us".

@wainey no, Sorry for that. A kalabari man have not held the position of Governor but Kalabaris were very influential in Government back in the days. Remember O.B Lulu Briggs, soberekon, Ebenezer Isiokari, marshall Harry, Tonye Harry, etc.

jamesversion:
For a Kalabari I feel your excitement given the possibility that one of your own might become the Governor of Rivers State.

But for an Ijaw man, it's no big deal, Ada-George has been there before.

Also remember Wike is an Ijaw project. Cos bulk of his support on his way to the Governorship came from Ijaws. You can't refute my claims

Yes, it is no big deal, List of Ijaws that have ruled Rivers state are:
HRH Alfred Diete spiff
senator Melford okilo
Rufus Ada George.

Another will come in a fews months time.

WE RISE

Wainey:
I didnt say Kalabari governor.
But the time of Okilo, Kalabari had and took everything, the emergence of Odili wouldnt have been possible without a kalabari man, Late Chief Graham-Douglas, he was like the Tinubu of Odili govt.
Infact Odili biggest obstacle were all Kalabari men One was from Harris/town, his name is Harrison, they had to eliminate him to pave a way.
Kalabari controlled Rivers state back then and they were united, if u ar looking for a job and u speak their language, they will quickly see u as a brother which gives u an advantage.
Odili eliminated the Kalabari dominance.

Yes, that's true.
In 1999, Odili won the governorship against A kalabari man, Ebenezer Isokiari.
That was lost opportunity for the kalabaris.
you forget to mention influential men like Marshall Harry, A.k Dikibo,etc who were assasinated during Odili's tenure.

You submission is neither here nor there...

There are 23 LGAs in Rivers State and the obvious fact is that Ikwerreland account for only 4 majorly populated by non-indigens...

A certain man from Buguma and his friend from Degema up to their friends at Eleme, Oyigbo, Etche and Egbema will laugh off your bogus assertions with derision...

If there is anything certain, it is the inescapable fact that Rivers politics will undergo a massive shakeup as soon as Wike waves power bye-bye this year...

Whether they like it or not, An Ijaw man will be the Governor of Rivers state this year 2023.

Wainey:
Oga do not argue with me.
Go back and ask ur parents if Kalabari's ruled Rivers.
Kalabaris were the first to have civilization, they were everywhere in govt. The Ikwerres were just farmers, Ogonis were all fishermen.
Kalabari didnt leave any position to others.
Even till this day, a Kalabari man looks down on others.
Go to Abonnema or Buguma and ask questions boy

They held positions in power, yes but A kalabari man have never being a Governor of Rivers state.
so what I post earlier is the fact.

Darren95:
In Photos: The Isiokpo (Ikwerre) people in Rivers State on Saturday held their annual bicycle Carnival to mark the end of the year.

The event is the biggest bicycle carnival in Nigeria

Beautiful sight

omonnakoda:
Rivers used to be dominated by a Bayelsa tendency. With the creation of Bayelsa Ikwerre appear dominant
Interestingly the population of Bayelsa is scant but it seems in the old days the likes of Okilo got support from their Kalabari.Bonny and Okrika cousins. I suspect in those days the Ijaws were able to use the creeks to inflate their numbers .The creation of Bayelsa has weakened In as in Rivers state

Yes, The creation of Bayelsa reduced the numerical strength/population of Ijaws in Rivers state.
Melford Okilo performed well during his tenure as Governor.

maestroferddi:
A ridiculous statement to suggest that the Ikwerres are indispensable in Rivers State...

The problem is that most of you people started following politics like 15 years ago...

From the creation of Rivers State till 2007, the Ikwerres not a major factor in Rivers politics...

They rode on the Igboid sentiments to rise to power...

The have seriously abuse the political capital which came to them on a platter...

In the future, it will be extremely difficult for them to enjoy the relative cooperation of these other subgroups...

You are right, the Obio Akpor voting strength is as a result of the high number of non-indigenes living , working and doing business there.

Wainey:
The Kalabari's did this same thing in Rivers state, they held onto power and sidelined every other person back in the 90's and 80's

Today the Kalabari's are suffering it.

A kalabari man have never being a Governor in Rivers state.
If you disagree, then post the name of the Kalabari man here.

mrksquare:
And he omitted Jonathan and his wife. Issorite.

Don't mind the power drunk, Nyerishi.
Wike that patience Jonathan supported and prevailed on the husband to support him for Governor of Rivers state.
He has forgotten so soon.

Neddstark:
Within 3 months of his wife dying guy has already tattooed the name of another woman on his hand. No respect for his dead wife. Sorry, that guy is shit and should be investigated for his wife's demise.

The man's actions are so suspicious.

Ishilove:

MansoryMX:
The stupidity in you is inbult. I am from Delta State, from Agbor to be precised so I know what I am talking about.

But Ika people said that Okowa is the best thing after slice bread.
Or did Okowa neglect Ika south and focus on only Ika North East in his infrastructure development and political appointments?

Alua! Alua!

Two friends now turn foes.
No permanent friend or enemy in politics just an interest game.

nairavsdollars:
In the light of the mindless killing of Mrs. Omobolanle Raheem by the Police, I recall that in the year 2000 (22 years ago) some of us started a movement against Police brutality. Here, I appeared on a program with the then CP of Lagos State, Mr. Mike Okiro to speak on the issues - Keyamo

It amazes me how Festus keyamo, the courageous human rights activist who criticized past military and civilian Government transition to become a defender of this present failed Government.
I can see mike okiro, the Rivers state man who later became IG of police.

Congratulations Ble Ble.
I remember her role as Blessing in the film "A cry for help".
This lady can "cry me a river".

HRprof:
Keep hope alive and don’t let ordinary certificate discourage your ambition. Many renowned persons come out with 3rd class but they didn’t stop there or allow grade stop them from becoming who they want to be example Wale shoyinka .
Meanwhile, in this world of technology, certification doesn’t matter anymore what matters is your skill what you can do not what you have on a paper. If you don’t have skills get one now.
My 2 cents

Wole soyinka is not a 3rd class graduate.
Soyinka had 2.1

hisexcellency34:
I heard Diette- Spiff remains the best Rivers governor till date

Diette spiff was a military administrator/Governor appointed by Yakubu Gowon in 1967.
My emphasis is on democratically elected Governors.
Melford okilo also performed during his tenure 1979-1984 but Amaechi is ahead.

Happy new year, Y'all.

Righthussle:
Good one.
Pastors dey deceive people use open university
Native doctors dey deceive people use build hotel. I no blame them, na the IDIOTS wey dey give them their money I blame.


I still dy reason this picture.

The Gospel singer, Prince Gozie okeke singing for the native Doctor. This one shock me oooooo Is he one of their confraternity member?

gaby:
Billionaire...and multi-billion hotels. Are we talking about CFAs here?

Good luck to his hotel guests.

Otokoto, anybody?

Hey, you made me remember the notorious Otokoto hotel saga in Owerri that year.
These hoteliers are coded ritualists who use their hotels to kill and sacrifice innocent children.
