Barr Uche Okwukwu former sec gen of Ohanaeze have been going from one Igbo traditional ruler to the other to lobby for their support to be elected as PG ohanaeze ndi Igbo in this month he is from Elele Ikwerre LGA River state.

The joke is on you clowns
Uche Okwukwu can not even host his committee of friends or Igbo meeting in where he claims as his father’s compound in Elele, yet you made him your secretary.

Uche Okwukwu has been banished from Elele Town since 2017 yet you want to make him your president with the claim that he is representing Ikwerre.

Uche Okwukwu is never seen anywhere in Ikwerre land campaigning to be Igbo people president yet he is in Enugu, Abia, Awka campaigning and getting the hordes of buffoons excited.

The lunatic can’t even show you any of his traditional rulers, siblings or family members that are Igbo with him yet Igbo people made him their secretary and now want to make him their president.

You can even make my bingo dog your president or whatever, that is your cup of coffee.

Mek ona take the lunatic we dash you.

winterfell007:
Either of Ndoni, Egbema or Etche people of Rivers state should vie for the position of Ohanaeze but you see, Ikwerre people let them go and vie for the position of Oba of Benin's houseboy.
I wonder why we keep showing brotherhood to those Ikwerrians that consistently rejected us whereas we have fellow brothers in Etche, Egbema and Ndoni that have never denied their Igbo identities and would always identify with us.

“Rejected us”
“Identify with us”

Ona no dey shame??
Na orphan ona be?
Reading your stvpid nonsense sef meks me want to throw up.

Goshhhhh!

Urheadmaster:
Wike will surely have problems with them

Wike get Igbo people time?

In the whole world it is only Igbo people that are running all over the place looking for who will identify with them like orphans. They keep indicating interest on behalf of individuals who know absolutely nothing about what they are doing like some people suffering from ‘sokugo’

Yesterday was Amaechi, today is Okiro next tomorrow will be Askari Dokubo. Never seen people who are so so shameless, desperate and lacking self worth.

Every ethnicity in Nigeria and beyond will do their election quietly and responsibly but these USB noisemakers and global clowns will keep constituting nuisance everywhere. Tueh!

Zackattack:
Your stupidity na first class o!
Odili was a nobody, but he emphatically won again in 2003 unopposed. What an idiot!
Odili, a 2007 presidential candidate was a nobody! Make God give you sense o!

Odili himself knew he was a paper weight and the only way he could have won his second term was to arm all those cult groups and militants to stuck ballot boxes for him. It was under him that Icelanders, Degbam, dewell etc flourished even his boy Amaechi said publicly that he warned him against it.

Go and find out what he was using Abiye Sekibo and Ateke Tom to do in Okrika and also the activities of the late Akiode Oyaghiri one of his commissioners and enforcer.

But while Wike was in the trenches fighting against Amaechi and APC to hold Rivers State for Jonathan in 2015, you ganged up with Atiku and APC against your fellow Ijaw man that led to his defeat by Buhari.

Wike is not near perfect but people like this shameless kwashiokor looking gaibrel should be the last to make any nonsense statement.

If Odili wasn’t expecting to be “attacked” he would have been careful with his choice of words.

Zackattack:
You are an idiot to think that a Governor will not even know who is designated to be chosen as the chairman of one of the most populated LGA in his own state.
Do you need anyone to explain to your drowsy brain that Wike was at the mercy of the Governor to still win a second tenure as LG chairman? What a dumb ass.
Without Patience Jonathan, Wike would’ve gone into oblivion with Amaechi and not even as a Governor.

Odili was a nobody politically in 1999 as to determine anything. In fact, the system was manipulated to favour him at the time by Marshal Harry, TO etc because he didn’t have any political influence and they felt he would be loyal to them.

Wike and Odili never had any dealings prior to Wike becoming LGA Chairman in 1999. Stop talking like a munmun

Zackattack:
Do you know that Wike was hand picked by this man to become a Local Government Chairman in 1999!
The idiot will only tell the world how he was returning a favor after Odili time had passed.
He will not tell you how Patience Jonathan introduced him to Odili that helped began his political career.
A very big idiot!

Shut up fooool with your lies.

I didn’t want to comment on this thread until I saw your stvpid comment.

How did Odili “hand pick” him to become LGA chairman in 1999 when he Odili wasn’t even a political force to reckon with in the State. Even Odili said publicly that their paths crossed when Wike was already a Chairman-elect and he was a Governor-elect. That is they’d won their seats but were yet to be sworn in.

The people who even made Odili governor the likes of Late Marshal Harry, TO Graham Douglas etc he fell out with them under a month of being sworn in.

Patience Jonathan had absolutely nothing to do with Wike and Odili knowing each other. Until Alamieyesigha was impeached, she was just an unknown wife of a quiet and largely unknown deputy governor of Bayelsa State with zero political influence even in her own family sef.

The Jonathans were looking for who could battle Amaechi and hold Rivers State for them, and were told Wike had the capacity the reason they reached out to him so stop talking BS.

How are they even speaking “Igbo language” when they are not Igbo? Does Igala or Itsekiri speak Yoruba Language? Does Gwandara, Nupe, Tiv etc speak Hausa language? Does Efik speak Annang language? Does Sweden speak Norwegian or Danish language? Does Spain speak Portuguese language?

Igbo idi0ts will sit down in one okpa shop in Awka and be claiming that another ethnic nationality speak “our language” when they who claim to be Jewish migrants should be speaking Hebrew. I find it really comical..

Idiko1:
Elechi Amadi was an Igbo when he joined Nigerian Army. He was Igbo when he ran away from the pogrom in Northern region of Nigeria. He was Igbo when he became Vice Principal of Asa High School, Ezebudele, Asa County Council. However, when Igweocha fell into the hands of the vandals, Elechi Amadi sneaked into Igweocha and instantly remembered he was not Igbo. Who in his/her correct senses would accept a fool who denied his/her ancestry as a compatriot? As far as I am concerned, the so-called Ikwerre are not Igbo and have treated them as non-Igbo indigenes.

Carry your ipob gibberish go siddon for gutter. E don cast only your moronic gang of delusional 0d3s takes you seriously.

pazienza:
These are all revisionist books by individuals looking for FG patronage from those parts after the civil war.

Show us any precolonial or colonial documents backing your claim!

Ikwerre people came to Willink commission as Igbo clan and never challenged their Igbo tag during the commission enquiries.
Mischief workers like you are fighting a losing battle.
Igbo land unification will happen, your efforts at keeping Igboland balkanized will be in vain. People are becoming wiser and are asking pertinent questions.

Munmusionist aka Igboid aka pazienzia aka first class oloddo always talking nonsense as usual.

You should have shown any pre colonial document that shows that Igbo existed. Igbo that did not even exist until less than 200 years ago. Munmun man.

You are tired of opening threads everyday on nairaland for you and your fellow disggusting idiots to be disparaging and insulting Ikwerrre people.

Come anywhere near Ikwerre land come do that your smelly and idi0tic “unification” mek your body talk to you shameless people.

Thanks for the explanation.

Do not believe any crap these shameless lying desperados and Ipob feed you. Ikwerre never identified as Igbo before, during and after the war. Ikwerre don’t share the same values, world views nor ways of life with Igbo people. Ikwerre along with other minorities started agitating to be separated from Igbo into a different region or State even before independence (b4 the agitation for the midwestern region) but Zik and his people being mainly in control, always have ways to sabotage or thwart these efforts.

Even before the war started, Ikwerre and other Rivers delegations met with Ojukwu and made same demand so anyone telling you about “after the war, Gowon did this and that, or divide and rule, fear of Fulani” BS is suffering from Mkpurunmiri hangover. See excerpts from a narrative written by an Ikwerre man and this events happened before the war. Three of the five people in that delegation were Ikwerre.

Igbo has everything.



I dont know if they think being Igbo means they stop being Ikwerre?

My bingo dog sef is willing to be your president.

It is fat and eats very well and importantly, ready to serve.

Shameless desperados.

bismarck:
You are the nuisance here. I just was waiting to expose your LIES, which is not surprising since many people (including you) are history revisionists that feed on petty gossips to massage their ego. You are not from Ikwerre, rather you are an ignorant idiot. Someone seeing you shouting 'Willinks Commission' would assume you know its findings, not knowing you are just another empty head. If 'Ikwerre represented separately', how come the Commission still classified Ikwerre as Igbo? Keep hating on IGBO. Now go and kill yourself..

THE FOLLOWING ARE EXCERPTS FROM THE REPORT OF THE COMMISSION APPOINTED TO “ENQUIRE INTO THE FEARS OF MINORITIES AND THE MEANS OF ALLAYING THEM”, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS “THE WILLINK COMMISSION REPORT OF JULY 1958”
THE HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL BACKGROUND.
1. [b]“More than 98% of people who inhabit this area (the ‘Igbo Plateau’ of the Eastern region) are Igbo and speak one language, though of course with certain differences of dialect. [/b]There are nearly five million of them and they are too many for the soil to support: they are vigorous and intelligent and have pushed outward in every direction, seeking a livelihood by trade or in service in the surrounding areas of the Eastern Region, in the Western Region, in the North and outside Nigeria. They are no more popular with their neighbours than is usual in the case of an energetic and expanding people whose neighbours have a more leisurely outlook on life.”
2. “Though there has been no great kingdom or indigenous culture in the Eastern Region, the coastal chiefs grew on their trade with the (European merchant) ships and they adopted customs, clothing and housing more advanced than those of the peoples of the interior on whom they had at first preyed for slaves. They came during the 19th Century to regard the people of the interior as backward and ignorant, and it was therefore a blow to their pride, as well as to their pockets, when the Ibos began to push outwards into the surrounding fringe of the country and particularly into the Calabar area, to take up land, to grow rich, to own houses and lorries and occupy posts in public services and in the services of large trading firms.”
“It was among the Igbos, formerly despised by the people of Calabar as source of slaves and as a backward people of the interior, now feared and disliked as energetic and educated, that the first political party formed.”
3. “It is important to remember that of this (Ogoja) Province’s 1,082,000 inhabitants, 723,000 are Ibos, almost entirely in Abakaliki and Afikpo (Divisions), while the census classifies 350,000 as “Other Nigerian Tribes.”
4. The Rivers Province …includes the two divisions of Brass and Degema, both overwhelmingly Ijaw, and the Ogoni Division. The former Rivers Division also includes over 300,000 Ibos of whom 250,000 are in Ahoada Division and 45,000 in Port Harcourt. Port Harcourt is a town of recent growth and of rapidly increasing importance; it is built on land that blonged originally to an outlying branch of the Ibo tribe, the Diobus, but is largely inhabited by the Ibos from the interior who have come to trade or seek employment….Of the total 747,000 in the Rivers province, 305,000 are Igbos, 240,000 are Ijaws and 156,000 are Ogonis.”
5. “The strip to the south of the Igbo block, is physically, divided by a block of Igbo territory, tipped by the important Igbo town of Port Harcourt [/b]and tribally divided between the Ijaws and the Ogonis.”
6. “In the whole of this non-Igbo area there is present in varying degree some fear of being over-run, commercially and politically, by the Igbos…..[b] if Ahoada and Port Harcourt, which are really Igbo , are considered with the solid centre of Ibo population, there are 54 seats for the Ibo area and 30 for COR (Calabar, Ogoja and Rivers) in (Eastern Regional House of Assembly).”
THE FEARS AND GRIEVANCES OF MINORITIES:
7. “It was suggested (by non-Igbo petitioners) that it was the deliberate object of the Ibo majority in the Region to fill every post with Ibos (in public post and services).….when, however we came to consider specific complaints about the composition of public bodies, we found them in many cases exaggerated or unreasonable.”
8. “The allegation was put forward by counsel (to petitioners) that the Judiciary (when not European) was predominantly Igbo, with the implication that this caused fear among those who are not Ibos. But it was clearly stated in evidence by Dr. Udoma, the leader of UNIP, that no occasion could be adduced of the judiciary acting with partiality. The fact is that the legal profession is largely Igbos and the reasons for this do not seem to be Government action. It is therefore inevitable that there should be an Igbo preponderance among Judges and Magistrates. Further, it is the declared policy of Government that the Judiciary should be federal and this does not indicate a desire to control it. Again, the operation and composition of Public Service Commission here, as in the West, appeared to us in no way open to reproach.”
9. “In the Police, which in this region alone is wholly Federal, the number of Ibos in the higher appointments is not out of proportion to the Ibos in the region. The force is now federally controlled and although there are a large number of Ibos in the lower ranks, this is due to the fact that it has for long been a tradition among the Ibos to offer themselves for recruitment in this force in far greater numbers than any other tribe.”
10. “we noted that in five years, 1952 – 1957, from a total of 412 secondary scholarships, 216 were awarded to persons living in the COR areas, while the figures for post-secondary scholarships were 211 out of 623. The latter is about the right proportion of one-third, the former considerably in excess. It was suggested that scholarships awarded to non-Ibos were of an inferior kind and that the best scholarships went to Ibos, but we were, unable to see that this claim held any validity. On the evidence before us, we conclude that the allegations of discriminations in the matter of scholarships are unjustified.”
11. “It was further suggested that loans by the Eastern Regional Finance Corporation, the Eastern Region Development Board, and the Eastern Region Development Corporation were made with some degree of preference to Ibos. It did appear that most of the loans made by these bodies were to Ibos, but that is not to say that this was necessarily improper. Ibos constitute two thirds of the population of the region and have a bigger share of financial and commercial responsibility than their numbers warrant.”
12. “That there should be modern streetlight in Onitsha, and not Calabar, was also quoted as example of discrimination; it proved however that Onitsha Urban District Council had financed this measure from their own resources.”
13. “The question of land was repeatedly raised, it being resented by the Efiks and Ibibios that the Igbos should acquire land at all in their territory while the methods by which it was obtained were also questioned. There is no doubt that on the Igbo Plateau there is insufficient land for the people and the Igbos are thrusting outwards where possible they acquire land and use it either for cultivation or building…..This is a matter which will require legislation sooner or later and it will be delicate to handle, but the economic process is in itself healthy and we had little sympathy with a witness who remarked that there is much undeveloped land in the district and he was anxious that it should not fall into the hand of the Igbos… We believe that Governments in Nigeria should be careful not to try to protect minorities by introducing measures that would restrict development....”

You are so desperate to publish a part of a report that was influenced by Zik and his Igbo gang in their desperation not to grant the demands of the minority ethnic groups.

I asked a simple question and you went off rail in your desperation to keep deceiving yourself.

The agitations and demand for the creation of Rivers State by the minorities led to the constitution of Henry Willinks commission on November 1956, a few years before independence (Igbo people will never say this because they want to blame Gowon and claim that Ikwerre STARTED DENYING Ibo AFTER THE WAR).

Would Ikwerre have represented at the Willinks commission if they considered themselves Igbo, when the commission was organized for and attended by representatives of minority groups? Which Igbo groups represented at the Willinks commission?

These ethnic minorities wanted to protect themselves from oppression, marginalisation and possible extermination of Ethnic Minority Groups in the then Eastern Region of Nigeria.

The report of Willink's Minority Commission which was greatly influenced by Igbo leaders, ruled out the creation of Rivers State and mischievously classified some of the groups as Ibo which led Ikwerre Chiefs in this picture to protest against the Commission's report August 28 1957.

Umuinyioku:
Oh my God! See how you twisted history to favour your sponsors!

Can you Tell it more than an indigene who is on ground? If you don't know Ikweres are Igbos and shares Igbo heritage and ancestry,then you should be ignored in your ignorance and crass foolishness.

Rotimi Amaechi never,never denied his Igbo ancestry. I was in Umuahia during one his campaigns and he categorically said those trying to demarket him of not being original Igbo protegy should reexamine themselves because nobody can take away his Igbo ancestry. He is Proudly Igbo and his Igbo heritage is sacrosanct.

I therefore find it funny that he denied his Igbo heritage and ancestry before public gathering in Bauchi. It's your concoction. Not real.

Wike is a hybrid. Neither Igbo nor Bini. A shameless man who's trading off his Igbo ancestry at altar of political expediency. An idiot,he is.

No matter how you try with your sponsors on warped Ikwerre history, the fact remains ikwerres are Igbos. Therefore,the placard carrying renegades cannot altar the history of Ikwerres' ancestry.

How much are you being paid for this distorted History

Are you really this shameless and shallow in real life?
I’m not sure your family or anyone close to you would be proud of your ingrained shallow and bushman mentality. Jeeez!

Ashawoman82:
see how you're talking like a child, so u don't know that the ikwerres have a central dialect just like the igbos, see how dumb u are beginning to sound... The ebiras and igalas of kogi and not in anyway related to the Yorubas, get ur facts rights there are yoruba tribes in kogi and those ones will never deny being Yorubas, not the ebiras and igalas, those ones are more close to the middle belt language category... There are Yoruba speaking parts on edo and pure benins... If u are smart enough, u would have noticed I didn't mention the ogonis, ijaws, calabari etc, those are tribes in rivers and they don't have any similarities with the igbos but why is it just ikwerre, all my ikwerre friends bears pure igbo names, pure ...

You don’t even make any sense, keep wasting your time that you should spend learning and talking about your own history which I’m sure you know nothing about.

U ARE TALKING NONSENSE THAT CRIMINALS IN NIGERIA HAVE PERMITTED.


IN A SANE COUNTRY OR HAD THE BRITISH CONTINUED TO MANAGE THIS COUNTRY,


IKWERRE WILL NOT EXIST AS ANYTHING OTHER THAN AN IGBO CLAN.


ALOT OF SUCH GROUPS ARE SCATTERED EVERYWHERE IN NIGERIA CLAIMING TO BE A TRIBE WHEN THEY ARE JUST A CLAN OR PART OF A LARGER GROUP.


IN IDOMA THEY HAVE THE EGEDE.


IN URHOBO THEY HAVE THE ISOKO


IT IS EVERYWHERE AND THE CRIMINALS IN NIGERIA HAVE PERMITTED IT FOR CRIMNAL PURPOSES.

ONE LEGISLATION OR CONSTITUTION REVIEW WILL FIX ALL THAT AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ETHNIC GROUPS FURTHER.

You may be right because we know that it is the British that told you the identity to adapt, but the mistake you are making is to be so deluded as to think that you are in any position to tell anyone who they are.

You can only make your ineffectual noise but that’s where it ends.

Ashawoman82:
alright, but how come as an igbo guy I understand ikwerre language to a large extent and why do they bear igbo names, I have like 3 ikwerre friends so I know what I'm saying.. This is just an innocent question, I just want to know the relationship between the two... Effik, ijaw and other SS tribes language are quite different from igbo language but u see the ikwerre, the language similarities is just too much..

First of all, it’s ridiculous for you Igbos to begin to claim that you “understand Ikwerre language” because Ikwerre language has at least 13 dialects and it is almost impossible to see an Ikwerre person that will tell you that he understands and speaks all the dialects, but one clown from Okigwe will wake up to claim “I understand Ikwerre language”

Similarities in Languages doesn’t mean they are the same people. Ikwerre bear Ikwerre and not “Igbo names”. There are so many tribes or ethnicities all over the world with similarities even here in Nigeria but it is only Igbo people that feels it gives them the right to impose their identity.

Up North you have the Kanuris, Hausas, Gwandara, Nupe. Chamba, Tiv etc and many others that have similarities but they respect their boundaries and each other. I have Ebira friends that bear Toyin, Tunde, Kunle etc but never seen Yoruba people trying to tell them who they are.

You have the Ebira and Igarra people with lots of similarities but respect each other’s identity. So many ethnicities both within and outside Nigeria that have similarities, so why can’t Igbo people live and let others live?

Ikwerre and Igbo don’t share the same values, world view and ways of life.

bismarck:
The link you posted is a non-starter. You see, your mischief will always lead you to dabble into issues that you have zero understanding. I have no business talking with you from SW Nigeria about Ikwerre. The point is that no reasonable Ikwerre would DARE reference the report of Willink's Commission to support an ethnic identity separate from the Igbo. I await the original liar (Tranquill) if truly he is Ikwerre, to state anywhere in the entire report that 'Ikwerre representatives ' presented themselves as non-Igbos.

Go and sit down in the dustbin abeg?

What is your business with what Ikwerre identifies as, if not for your nuisance?

Are you from Ikwerre? Why can’t you move on if people have rejected you severally?

Did Ikwerre represent at the Willinks commission or not?
The commission was set up for the minorities and Ikwerre wouldn’t be there if they identified as Igbo.

Did they along with other minorities demand to be separated from Igbo people or not even before the war?

Umuinyioku:
You are a kid,so stop your warped narrative about Ikwere Igbo identity.

Ikwerrres were part of Eastern Nigeria before creation of state in May 1967. They were excised from present day Imo and Abia states in 1967. This was purely political expediency.

The war was fought,and Gowon felt isolating Igbo of southeast will weaken their resistance in the civil war because they had no seaport to receive supplies from friendly countries supporting the war.

It's therefore foolhardy for anybody to say Ikwerrres are not Igbo. Rotimi Amaechi vowed that nobody can take away his Igbo ancestry. On the contrary, The drunkard and political nitwit, Nyesom Wike said he's not Igbo. He is ikwerrre and shares local government with Rotimi Amaechi.

In short, those protesting they were not Igbo are paid to cause distraction. I see the hands of Nyesom Wike on this because he hates to be associated with Igbo ancestry.

Funningly, a joker in the person of Nyesom Wike said he has Bini ancestry! Look at that!

Sponsors of the protests could be dubbed hybrid. Neither Igbo nor Bini!

Shame unto Nyesom Wike. Applause to Rotimi Amaechi for standing up where others failed!

Ordinarily, I will not bother replying you because you sound as imbecil….c as most of you shameless, repulsive, irritating mkpurunmiri addicts and idi0ts that litter all over your Igbo land.

Amaechi during the election talked about how no one can take away his Igbo ‘heritage’ from him which you have now replaced with “ancestry”. I don’t know if your inherent idiocy would allow you to go and find out the difference. The same Amaechi at various places during the election including Bauchi, Ondo etc categorically said that he is NOT IGBO. Amaechi when he was governor was asked at a radio station in Lagos if he was Igbo and he said NO.

When your shameless Ohaneze president in the person of professor Anya O Anya addressed him as “an Igbo son” at an event in Abia State Amaechi quickly corrected him that he is not Igbo but a proud Ikwerre son. And for the records Amaechi and Wike though proud Ikwerre sons, are not from the SAME local government area.

Ikwerre was in the eastern region that was created by the British just like a few other minority ethnic groups. Even before independence, Ikwerre like most of the other ethnicities were already agitating to be separated from Igbo people into their own region the reason why they represented at the Willinks Commission in1957 three years before independence. They wouldn’t be at that conference if they identified as Igbo. In 1965 three years before the war and while Igbo were controlling the dead eastern region just by reason of their population and nothing more, Ikwerre made it clear that they are neither Igbo, Ijaw etc but Ikwerre in what is today known as Rumuomasi declaration.

Ikwerre never identified as Igbo even when Igbo people were running and pillaging the defunct and dead eastern region. Before the war, Ikwerre along with other ethnicities like Ijaw, Efik and other groups even met with Ojukwu and told him of their desire to be separated from Igbo people. Gowan only wanted their support by giving them what they were asking for long before the war. Your lying parents never told you the truth.

You can say whatever you like, come online and insult your fat.her as you wish but one thing is certain: YOU ARE IN NO POSITION TO TELL ANYONE WHO THEY ARE.

If you feel that those protesting were paid, please come on ground and lift your own placard saying that IKWERRE IS IGBO….I say no more.

Sharingiscaring:
But why are their sons and daughters - like Rotimi Amaechi - associating with Ohaneze?

Show us where “Rotimi Amaechi” is associating with your ohaneze apart from all the online fabricated stories and delusions. Any Ikwerre person that socializes with Igbos just as they would with Ijaw, Yoruba, Ogoni etc you begin to tag him ohaneze member.

The lunatic Uche Okwukwu that you have been parading everywhere is because his mother is Igbo from Umuahia and your ohaneze allows for people with Igbo mothers to join and moreover, the fellow has been banished from his hometown, never recognized by any known Ikwerre sociocultural group, so desperate for where to belong.

mrvitalis:
Oga anyone from Rivers or grew up in port Harcourt knows this as a fact

Fubara is the closest thing wike would have ever had to a Godson yet his greed messed him up

Even if wike gives his son the governorship he won't be as loyal as fubara

Rivers people are stubborn to the core

Anything that has to do with Wike you bitter ipobidunces will jump in and start typing gibberish ona no dey tire?

When will you talk about your State and your Igbo politicians?

Jayhome24:
Money they owed? I don't understand you?

They are owing some levies on the plots of land. They were notified sometime ago and given a deadline to pay, failure which will result in revocation.

They were over 4K names that were published, others paid up but these ones ( about 700) did not pay, the reason for the revocation.

If you followed the news and publications closely , you would have seen that some others have been given a deadline to clear their levies or lose their land at a future date.

So the FCTDC don’t just wake up and start revoking peoples lands.

Jayhome24:
Pls make Wike slow down na. Why is all these sudden land revocation here and there, he should focus on development. Revoking land is not part of development tactics Mr Wike, abeg calm down.

Wike leave land matter focus on development that is what you are asked to do. You are creating too many nemy for yourself.

The money they are owing on the land will be used for development. They don’t pay, they impede the wheel of development.

SmartPolician:
Nobody has his time, yet Wike's lunatics are all over the place wailing about him. Ikenga is assembling strong men that will grow some balls to discipline Wike. Nobody should be allowed to control the structures of two parties at the same time.

So he has to assemble them first

Then they will “grow some balls”

When they actually grow the balls you can come and talk.
