*PORT HARCOURT IS IKWERRE LAND*
...𝑪𝑷 𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒔 𝑶𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒛𝒆 𝑵𝒅𝒊𝒈𝒃𝒐

The meeting between Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Dr. Polycap Emeka Nwonyi, members of Iwhuruohna People's Association (IPA) and Ohaneze Ndigbo as a result of the petition written by IPA to the Inspector-General of Police, copied to the CP and other security agencies, took place yesterday in his office. During the meeting, the delegation of IPA led by the President, High Chief Monday Wehere and Dr. William Wodi stated categorically that Ikwerre people are not Igbos, and that there is no “Igbo-speaking” part of Ikwerre land as claimed by the Ohaneze Ndigbo.

They maintained that Igbos have five state capitals and numerous other cities where the so-called “Igbo Day” can be used to honour their fallen heroes but their choice of Port Harcourt is aimed at causing the breakdown of law and order.

They also reminded the CP that the two factional leaderships are proposing the celebration at undisclosed venues in PH. The delegation of IPA pointed out that there is the likelihood that their undisclosed venues may clash with the venue for the "Ikwerre Martyrs' Day" already scheduled for September 29th, 2023.

They concluded by saying that one of the reasons they are against them calling Ikwerre people Igbos and that Rivers State is not part of Igbo states is to stop them from extending their sit-at-home order to Rivers State.

Responding to their submission, the leader of Igbo Community in Rivers State, Barr. Emmanuel Ukala, who is also the Vice Chairman of Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Port Harcourt Branch, denied ever fixing Igbo Day Celebration in Port Harcourt.

He maintained that the celebration was fixed at Enugu and also disowned the statements credited to Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Chidi Ibe and Chief Uchenna Okokoba respectively. He also said that they are impostors and cannot speak for Igbo people.

At this point, members of IPA quickly presented the press release of both factions and affirmed that the said venue earlier scheduled to hold in Port Harcourt was shifted to Enugu because of the pressure of IPA on them.

After listening to both sides, the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Dr. Emeka Polycap Nwonyi advised members of Ohaneze Ndigbo to honour their heroes and do their celebration in their states and leave Port Harcourt if Ikwerre people decides not to join, saying that Port Harcourt is Ikwerre land and whoever that buys land here will not carry it to his or her hometown.

The case ended in favour of IPA, therefore, the Igbo Day Celebration is no longer holding in Port Harcourt.

Make una rest na. Ikwerre say they're not Igbos, make una leave dem na.

Nice write up, I really pray south east governors can put action to this.

Time to build igbo land is now

Person say him no be igbo, but you insist he is, mbok which pattern be dat again na?

Fools and attention seekers everywhere.

Portharcourt is a no-man's-land.

As Fulani don chase half of insukka indigenes enta forest, insukka on its way to becoming no-man's-land.

Same people would be quoting one okechukwu an ikwerre man as ohaneze Sec general

I'm watching you

It is the duty and responsibilty of the police to protect and oversee lawful and peaceful assembly including cultural celebrations.

It is actually difficult for an Igbo to deny being Igbo even for political reasons.

Don't be silly. This is Tinubu playing the normal yoruba game through Wike and his lackey. Igbo day has been celebrated there even since Amaechi's time.

Some people are desperately but foolishly trying to separate water from an ice block,.... and hoping to see what will be left, MIRAGE

Na waooo. Land grabbers wants by force marriage for their selfish interests.

If I ever become ohaneze president ikwerre would be expelled that same day

Yes ooh ndoni, egbema, ohaji, etche omuma, obigbo and ekpeye are free to join

Even the Igbo speaking part of okrika are free to join

But you see ikwerre never

Ikwerre are the reason I want Niger Delta republic to be a reality

Same ikwerre that were begging for port Harcourt state to be added to South East as an Igbo state because I jaws were dealing with them, same people now feel they have arrived

lol Iwuroha peoples assembly

Everyday, ridiculous groups created by politicians to champion their selfish interest keep springing up. It's no longer Ogbakor ikwerre but Tinubu created IPA. Biafra obsession will be your end.

I thought SS and SE are brothers Rivers have seen the light

Okechukwu Isiguzoro no dey seat down one place with his fake Ohaneze.Meanwhile IPOB is not doing ndi Igbo any favour as many outside SE are afraid of being dragged into another senseless war with the Nigeria state one of many reasons they are very hostile to the Igbo identity.

Igbos just embarrassing themselves all over the country. From Lagos to Port Harcout to Asaba. Igbos develop your land and stop running away from your motherland which is the 5 eastern states.

They can take it to Edo Delta

I just checked his name doesn't sound Jewish. Are you reasoning what I am thinking?

How can they choose another man's land for their Ibo day celebration when Onitcha and Enugu are there.
It's a land grabbing technique.
The commissioner of Police is a wise man.

When I was registering for my NIN at Abia poly center, there was a girl that seems confused on what to fill in her tribe.
She told me she is from Omuma in Rivers state, 'I should write Igbo?' she asked me. I told her yes.


There are many indigenous Igbo people in Rivers that are not suffering from identity crisis. Ohaneze should leave the ignorant ones.
Em dey answer Emeka. He should have added R to his name so it will be Remeka.

Wait ooo

So its not "one Nigeria"? I cant celebrate 'Igbo day' in any state of my choice in Nigeria? So where is this 'one Nigeria' people keep talking about?

As much as I think this news is fake, because a police commissioner should be knowledgeable enough to know that any Nigerian can celebrate any event, anywhere in Nigeria according to to chapter 4 of the Nigerian constitution , it does show the mindset of some people

There are people in Nigeria who are scared that Ikwerres are ever embracing their Igboness with every passing day, and want to scuttle that so they can continue with "divide and rule"

What those people will never understand is that nobody can fool everyone all the time
