Whats the source of this your stat?

Ignorance is indeed bliss. Wetin you no know pass you.

ValarDoharis:
So Ijaws called it Port Harcourt from 1000yrs ago? Because you said Port Harcourt has always been called so? How dumb!

Port Harcourt has always been Port Harcourt right from when it was formed as a city. Before the British came it was just an Ikwerre farm land and the Riverine areas that were occupied by the Okrika people.

ValarDoharis:
Nope! Port Harcourt was renamed after the British colonial master Harcourt who presided over that area at some point

Port Harcourt that was founded by the British themselves was renamed?

Top Ten Cocoa producing State in Nigeria.. 2020

2. Cross Rivers
3. Ogun
4. Akwa-Ibom
5. Ekiti
6. Delta
7. Osun
8. Oyo
9. Kwara
10. Nasarawa..

Zico5:
South west is truly one of the pillars in this country even without making noise at all. 99% of cocoa production for exportation is from South west. As well, they are not lagging behind in other agricultural product. Remove South west from this country then the country becomes insignificant. God bless all OMOLUABI.

99%? Mmmh so Cross River produce just 1% for export?

Fubara is finished politically. No doubt about that. Let him enjoy it while it last. The Ipobidients making noise for him are only found in Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor LGAs.

So it's the afonja** in the SW that will come to Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor LGA and vote for Wike's candidate?

Forumites:
Nobody knows about ijaw people until abacha send money for them to share with their itsekiri and urhobo neighbors. Where were you in 1998. Kid.
Na itsekiri people open ijaw eye educationally and otherwise.

Guess you are referring to Ijaws in Delta state. Because all you are saying is alien to Ijaws in other states.

Kreesxxx:

We usually tell voters from SE to go to their respective states to vote in the kind of governors they want in Rivers State. If South East becomes a better place to stay naturally they will all drift back home.

Since you started telling them to go back what has been the votes from Ikwerre areas in the last 2 elections?

vanitybutiwanti:
yes but do you expect sim to win in any of the ikwerre areas if wike is given the go ahead to deliver his candidates? I hope you're aware that ikwerre Kings, chiefs and stakeholders still have soft spot for wike? Ogoni area is already a done deal, go and ask magnus Abe, there was no election in his place but result was announced for sim, social media is not real life.

Was Amaechi not given the go ahead to deliver his candidate? You think Rivers is like the West.

I dey laugh you.

vanitybutiwanti:
Nobody cares I they are solely Rivers people, those places are ikwerre areas and wike can do whatever he wants in those areas, same way he did it for sim, nobody can stop him, those are his strongholds. Remember town criers went round and instructed people to stay away if they are not voting sim in obio and phalga

Mind you PHALGA is not solely an Ikwerre area, and only votes from just PHALGA and OBIO-AKPOR gives you no guarantee of winning Rivers.

vanitybutiwanti:
Let's break down the key players involved in the meeting between the President, the Minister and Fubara. It's clear that the meeting aimed to inform Ogoni stakeholders about the Federal Government's plan to resume oil exploration in their area.

On Governor Fubara's side, former Senator Lee Maeba was present, which is notable since Maeba didn't support or campaign for Fubara during his election. On the other hand, the Minister's team included several prominent figures, such as:

- *Former Senators*: Magnus Abe, Olaka Nwogu
- *Current APC National Vice Chairman (SS)*: Victor Giadom
- *Senate Committee Chairs*: Senator Barry Mpigi (Chairman, Senate Committee on Works and Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Host Communities)
- *Former Minister*: Kenneth Kobani
- *Other notable figures*: Chief Ejoor, Hon. Marcus Nnleji, and Honourable Fred Kpakol

Interestingly, the Ogoni elites seem to be rallying behind the FCT Minister, likely due to their ambition to secure the governorship seat in 2027. Given that they form the largest bloc in the governor's senatorial district, it's possible that if Fubara is removed, his replacement might come from the same district. Definitely, interesting times ahead.

Be calming down. The 1 million you claim in PHALGA and OBIO/AKPOR are those solely votes from Rivers people?

The other LGAs you mentioned have mainly votes from Rivers people. Unless you are praying that Inec will just be imputing figures, else in a free and fair election Igbos(from the SE) and Akwa Ibomites who are the majority in those 2 LGAs will decide who wins if they really want to vote.


The last time that those set didn't come out that much for election, what was the result? You dey carry non indegines votes dey brag.

Wike has never been a trustworthy character.

zero8zero:
Akwa-ibom, Cross river, Rivers and Bayelsa are referred to as the oil rivers protectorates by the British colonialists. These communities are where majority of palm oil revenues used for the development of eastern region came from. The narrative that palm oil from Abia was used to build PH port was a false and misleading story. Where does that even come from?.
The old Western region as well was a large oil producing region made up of Delta, Edo and Ondo

Talk is cheap, action speaks, let him leave Rivers State, since Wike his boy had been in Abuja b4 the fall out with his puppet Fubara, how many times did he visit him?

Your boy dey issue C of O for Abuja, you Sidon for Port Harcourt dey do local don?

Wherever Rivers State has their guest houses in Mataima Abuja, or the central business district, or at other locations, The FCT Minister can revoke their C of O for overriding public interest, & turn it into a car park.

Houses wey Nyesom Wike dey build for retired Federal, & Supreme Court judges for Abuja, Peter Odili wife no go try collect like 2 properties instead of one, when na your person dey do the allocating?

One Thing you people fail to realize is that Nyesom Wike is not on your level, he has been Local Government Chairman, Minister, Governor, & Minister again, make Peter Odili & all you local Things go siddon for one corner.

Na person wey never go Abuja b4, no go understand the level of The FCT Minister, no foreign President dares enter Nigeria, without meeting him. Person wey done drink wine with Emmanuel Macron.

Nyesom Wike has a job working for Nigeria, still making as much money as he did as Governor, he has done his bit for Rivers State, on like the majority 99% following Nyesom Wike’s rebel puppet Fubara that are jobless.

I have never seen anyone as deluded as you are.

Armaggedon:
who dash monkey Banana 🍌? There is no such thing as Ijaw in rivers state.

Check out the map below. It's a map of the coastal Niger Delta (Benin coast) and Cameroons done by Portuguese explorers centuries ago. You can see the ethnic make-up of the coastal Niger delta, starting with the Edo's in the far west called Warre ( warri), then the brass tribes that contains ijaws in today's bayelsa. Moving closer East in what is today the coastal Rivers state and you can see it is clearly labelled "Eboes". This Eboes include Bonny, Opobo and Okirika. You can also see andonies were not even called Igbos talk more of being Ijaw. They are a mixture of Igbos and Ibibios who were labelled as quas (qua Ibo)in the north East of the map.

Ijaw are just empty land grabbers conniving with Igbo enemies to steal Igbo lands and taking advantage of vulnerable position of Igbos in the present Nigeria. Ijaw ends in certain areas in bayelsa and Delta state.

Na foreigner go write your history with myopic map for you.

Stolen:



IJAWS CAME MUCH LATER.


IF I COME TO UK, MIX WITH THEM, DOES IT MEAN THE UK IS NOW NIGERIA?


POINT IS IJAW CAME, THEY ARE NOT INDIGEOUS TO RIVERS.

Your point is useless. You claim Rivers people have either Igbo or Efik ancestry with nothing like Ijaw. Now you are saying Ijaw came later. Abeg stand one side.....

Stolen:


NO, THAT LIES HAVE TO END.


BAYELSA WAS CREATED AS A SETTLEMENT FOR THE IJAWS.


MAJORITY OF THE RIVERINE PEOPLE IN RIVERS STATE ARE ORIGINALLY A MIXTURE OF IGBO AND EFIK, THAT IS WHY IT IS CALLED NEW CALABAR AND LATER KALABARI.


IJAW EXPANSIONSIT MUST BE CHECKED AND HALTED, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY HAD THE GUTS TO DICTATAE TO OHANAEZE NOT TO ZONE PRESIDENT TO IKWERRE.


THAT WAS WHERE WE CHANGED IT FOR THEM.


THEY CROSSED THEIR BOUNDARY, AT NO TIME HAVE IGBO OR OHANAEZE INVOLVED ITSELF IN IYC BUSINESS.


AT SOME POINT, YOU CALL A SPADE A SPADE.

So if they are a mixture of "Igbo and Efik" as you claim, then that's definitely not the only 2 admixtures. So stop deluding yourself.

Last time I checked, The Abua/Odual person has more in common with an Ogbia man in Bayelsa than any Igbo or Efik.

The Engenni people have more in common with the Epie people of Bayelsa than Igbo or Efik

The Kalabari and Okrika man has more in common with the Nembe/Brass person than they do with Igbo and Efik.

So what's your point?

Stolen:



AT BOLDED. ALL MIXED AND NONE IS IJAW.

Everybody on earth is mixed with one thing or the other if you want to go there.

I'm surprised you are not concerned about if the other groups are mixed or not, but your problem is just the Ijaw.

I smell fish...

Hector09:
Lol most of us in rivers state Ain't ijew... So we are just neighbors

Rivers State is divided like this

Ijoid (Abua/Odual, Ahoada West (Engenni), Degema, Asari Toru, Akuku Toru, Bonny, Opobo/Nkoro, Andoni, Okrika, Ogubolo and PH South)

Ogoni (Khana, Gokana, Tai and Eleme)

Igboid (Oyigbo, Omuma, Obio-Akpor, PH North(The majority of PHALGA), Emuoha, Ahoada East, Ahoada West(the Ekpeye), Ikwerre, Etche and Onelga)

Rivers State has really suffered the most in this country. Oil revenue Nigeria milk the state. VAT Rivers is still milked. Chai!

Bkelly2:


Then you do not know the real issue. There was a crisis between Atiku faction and wike faction. The mistake those 27 did was to defect. Affidavit to this effect is in the open space. ZLP has a damning evidence against those 27. The case is in court. No technicality by the judiciary can solve this in favour of the 27

There was absolutely no issue in the PDP. Hence there defection was miscalculated, not knowing that the other political parties are just waiting for their slip up, which they did. As soon as they noticed that they have messed up, they now start saying they never defected, because they know that they've scored a political own goal.

sholatech:
Damn. So this banquet hall is inside his personal house? What will it be used for when he is no longer active political? Turn it to hotel with event centre?

First thought that came to mind.

Sundaymessi:
They said he was "ungrateful".
That was his crime nothing more than that.

So that's reason enough to seize the allocation of Rivers or cause the kind of political unrest that's going on in Rivers? When did being ungrateful become a crime in our constitution?
