Nyesom Wike Has No Right To Speak For Indigenous Igbos In Rivers State -chinedu by Alawe(m): 10:58am On Jun 01, 2021 |
My name is Chinedu Onyema from Etche, Rivers State. Nyesom Wike has no right to speak for indigenous Igbos in Rivers State. I saw Fulani people rejoicing on Facebook because Nyesom Wike said Rivers State is not part of Biafra. Let me just tell the Fulani, Nyesom Wike has only 1 vote if referendum is conducted. Anyway, Nyesom Wike is just a politician that is protecting his office, so I don’t blame him. I dare Federal Government to conduct referendum in Rivers State and see that 70% of Rivers State population is Igbo. 24 Likes 3 Shares |

Wike's foolishness is beyond belief. He keeps saying that Rivers state is South South as if South South means anything I doubt if he knows that South South is neither a Region nor is recognised by the constitution He doesn't even know that large chunks of Rivers state su h Obigbo, Eche and Egbema used to be in Imo state 9 Likes |

It is time for the MAJORITY igbo population in Rivers State to start speaking up and start challenging Mrs Tambuwal! Nyesomghosa Wikevie is on steroids.. He's has said a lot of nonsense these days. During the Obigbo massacres, he actually made a statewide address where he said there are no Igbos in Rivers State! What does that mean? And the Igbos indigenous to Rivers State kept quiet! You guys need to push back. He only has few years to stay there so there's little he can do really.. An inebriated ikwerre tout has no right to define your identity.. 10 Likes |

Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth. we should not blame Wicked wike have any Igbo leader or Ohaneze Ndigbo challenge him there is no Igbo indigene in Rivers state? the answer is no. Igbo have the worst leaders in Nigeria. Can Wike try to say there is no Ijaw indigene in Rivers state no he can't try it because he knows that Ijaws have leaders. 4 Likes 1 Share |

owobokiri: The Ikwerre in Ohanaeze are nothing but moles. The earlier some of you understand it,the better. The Ikwerre are on the majority Igbophobic. Visit Ikwerre land and find out for yourself. Join Ikwerre private groups on Facebook and see the sorts of Igbophobic sentiments expressed there with no objection whatsoever from any of them. Some of you like playing the ostrich. But the truth will keep rearing it's ugly head. Wike is not a problem. Wike represents the sentiment of majority of his people back home. Know this and know peace. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Igboid: Dude, You mangle these things sometimes.. I'm pretty straightforward in my analysis of these events most times. I agree totally with you that igbophobia is ripe in most of these places. You don't need to tell me. I experienced it first hand in Kano from two Ogonis more than a decade ago! Story for another day.. Where I have always disagreed with you is on the source of these mega hate, how to contain or deal with it and how to calibrate a powerful state in the midst of all these cacophony of noises, going forward. You want the Igbo to retract his steps, shrink in and turn inwards.. I disagree. Taking into cognizance the chances of utilizing the influences coming with having those willing to associate with the Igbos amongst these groups, I believe that we have to be fluid, dynamic and less stiff about things... It's communities and societies we are talking about not individual relationships... Nobody is playing ostrich but if you recoil at the sight of every problem and obstacle, how do you win? 7 Likes |

Cutting off these minorities who are currently nothing but liabilities to us,might on the long run do us a whole world of good. Many times, humans are better appreciated in our absence (death).

Having read through the comments here & from the happenings in the Eastern Nigeria, I can now see that I have been wrong all along thinking that the Igbos were smart and intelligent people. They are only smart when it comes to money matters but are foolish when it comes to politics & critical reasoning. Allowing Nnamdi Kanu, one small boy with a questionable past(a scammer, Yahoo boy & a former jigolo) to lead them astray from the comfort of a far away land. Look at the once peaceful east, the eastern Nigeria is currently on fire with hundreds of promising igbo youths dieing in vain. It is not wrong to demand for your own Nation if you guys feel aggrieved but is this the right way to go about it? MUST you force other regions into your biafra? Rivers state is not biafra and will never be biafra. Rivers state has major tribes like the Ogonis, ijaws, ikwerres etc so you guys should keep calm and do your businesses in peace or we order you back to your various states or obigbo where you belong. 2 Likes |

@igboid @owobokiri You both are right in your assertions, the difference in your argument can be likened to 6 and half a dozen. That said, I want to make a point clear. The Ikwerre actually believe that we Igbos have nothing to offer them. In fact, they actually believe that it will pay them more to be hostile to us than to accept us brothers. These guys are utterly selfish and deluded, they see the larger Igbo nation as a competition they can't afford to deal with but by distancing themselves from us, they will leverage on the national Igbophobic tendencies to rob us, eat their cake and still have it. The height of it was immediately after the war. They not only seized Igbo houses but also seized lands belonging to other Igbos that fled their communities during the war because they were pro Igbo/Biafra. I almost shed tears when I recently watched a documentary by a white man who interviewed this Igbos whose lands ikwerres seized. They told the interviewer that the ikwerres have refused to leave their lands they are now occupying and were threatening to fight them using state power and all. When the ikwerres were interviewed, they claimed those that fled should return to the East Central state. While the pro Igbo returnees appeared helpless and sorry looking, the ikwerres on the other hand appeared arrogant with a devil may care attitude. Remember, this was when the oil industry was picking up, so while money was flowing from the oil industry, Igbos in the East Central state were still very broke and their ego still bruised and battered. The documentary also stated that all the Igbos working in the oil industry prior to the civil war were never allowed to return. From that short video, I immediately understood why it became fashionable for Igbo communities to start denying their Igbo heritage so they won't have to suffer the indignities the Igbos were suffering then. Way forward? Let's forget these people, both the ikwerres and others still denying us. Instead, let's use all our energy to develop the core Igboland. Believe me, the giant strides we have made since the war ended while their oil resources hasn't made much difference to them as they had assumed, is partly the reason why they are no longer as proud as they used to be when the war ended. Let's build our cities and economy. Believe me, the amount of respect we will have going forward will depend on how successful we become as a race. We are already on the right path while the oil industry is declining. Let's build our brands like Innoson, Air Peace, Nollywood, transport companies, diaspora population, intellectuals etc. And we would surely laugh last! 7 Likes |

FreeIgbos: Owobokiri cannot be correct if I'm correct. Of course the Ikwerre is banking on the Igbo emotional attachment to remain in business. The know the foolish Igbo residents in Rivers State will keep voting them in elections on the altar of non existent brotherhood that the Ikwerres don't recognize. We are indeed very poor at this game of politics. They harvest the Nigerian Igbophobic Agenda to stay in business, and when convenient they claim Igbo to get whatever crumbs Igbo have and to get Igbo support against their fellow Igbophobic non Igboid Rivers neighbors, because they know that Igbos are stupid when it comes to political manipulation. They even say this openly in their groups, that the Igbos are stupid and that they can be Igbo whenever they want and achieve whatever they want. They can be Igbophobic and kill Igbos and you will still have the likes of Owobokiri, Nnamdi Kanu and the incompetent Ohanaeze calling them brothers. You think the likes of Uche Okwukwu and other Ikwerre moles in Ohanaeze Ndiigbo are not working hand in hand with Ogbakor Ikwerre and Wike? Sometimes I get baffled how we became this slow. When we become serious as a people, we know the right thing to do. All we need to end this nonsense is to solidify the line between Igbo and Ikwerre and totally relate with them as any non Igbo minorities. This would see us expel the moles amongst them in our Ohanaeze Ime-Obi. I will continue saying it until people grow sense. Now IPOB are seeing Wike as an enemy, claiming they will deal with him after he left office. They want to pretend like Wike isn't just the same as majority of Ikwerre people back home. When they were busy hobnobbing with Wike , I was here too advising on caution, reminding them that Wike is still an Ikwerre man and that majority of these people are Igbophobic. https://www.nairaland.com/4232285/wike-secondus-vs-yoruba-pdp So what's next when they are done with Wike? They would deal with the rest of Igbophobic Ikwerre people back home too? Are the Ikwerres really worth it? When are we going to grow up as a people? Listen, no matter how strong you are, you can't hold unto a hand that will not hold unto you. At a point you have to realize that you are disspating energy and let go. I can't continue repeating same thing everyday. Folks will not listen, so what's the point? Onye ajuru anaghi Aju onwe ya. 4 Likes |

Igboid: While I agree with you about drawing a line against them, my point is that the only way we can truly humiliate these guys and make them regret all they did to us is only if we are able to become great. When the war ended, the ikwerres assumed that we were totally down and out, never to rise again. They thought that the oil industry will make them rich so why accommodate us when we have nothing to offer them, instead by denying us, it will make it easy for them to claim our properties and ride on Igbophobic tendencies that was popular in Nigeria to fame. 50+ years later, the oil industry didn't make them rich as they had assumed while the Igbos they thought were routed have now clawed their way back up the food chain, and far more prosperous than them! Now, while the oil industry is past its prime, we Igbos are on the ascendancy, making exploits in many areas of life. There is something about us Igbos that I don't understand. We claim to be Jews, but we don't act marchiavelian like the Jews when it matters most. Why on Earth would Igbos still return to build houses/plazas and buy properties in P.H after the terrible experience our parents suffered there? Maybe, it's our individualistic/capitalist nature that causes it but it's very wrong, everything shouldn't be about amassing profits! Imagine a P.H without Igbo investments? Wike is trying to re-establish that same Igbophobia against us and worse still, he wants to rally all others against us and not just the ikwerres. We lack strong and wise leaders that ought to have corrected wike each time he makes his foolish statements. Lastly, you are right about cutting them off, at least it will stop them from eating their cake and still having it. 2 Likes |

FreeIgbos: The bold is the point. Yes! It's obvious we are a people without a political think tank. Everyone does what he like, little wonder we have become politically weak. I have a friend from Obiigbo. He said nothing pains him and his people most than the Igbophobia they have to endure from Igbophobic Ikwerre people in Rivers because they held unto their Igbo identity only to have Ndiigbo in SE embracing same IGBOPHOBIC Ikwerre people so much as have them occupy high posts in Ohanaeze Ndiigbo. He says it's equivalent to betrayal and that his people have concluded that the SE are a people lacking in political calculations and hence it has dawned on them that they have to start protecting their own interests themselves and that denying any link with SE is going to be the starting point of this. The only thing holding Obiigbo people for now is the Ndoki people trapped in Ukwa East Abia State. Ohanaeze, IPOB and all Igbo political elites have been a total disaster as far as relationship with minorities is concerned. The price we will pay if IPOB, Ohanaeze and co don't drop the likes Ikwerre would be loss of Obiigbo, Egbema and possibly Enuani as well. And of course, it's obvious Ikwerres and co can only become more Igbophobic the more crude oil becomes useless and it dawned on them they have only ben left worst off. It's baffling how dense and politically blind these people are to see the writing on the wall. 2 Likes |
