Nairaland Stop Renaming Oyigbo To Obigbo In Rivers State, It Is Unprofessional by Ikwerreland: 8:22am On Jul 29, 2021 |
I hope this gets to the moderators of this great forum. We Rivers people are very sad about this recent development. In Rivers State, we don't have Obigbo, what we have is Oyigbo Local Government. It is very annoying to see Oyigbo renamed to Obigbo on post moved to front page by the moderators. We Rivers people want to believe, this is a mistake and not a deliberate act from the moderators. I know I am not the only one who have noticed this error. The moderators should please correct this, it is very sad and unprofessional. Below is a link to a post that made front page with Oyigbo renamed to Obigbo. Buhari Completes The 10-Lane Superhighway Linking Port Harcourt & Obigbo (Video) https://www.nairaland.com/6673599/buhari-completes-10-lane-superhighway-linking Please correct this as fast as possible. Our identity is our pride. There is no Rivers State or Nigeria government document that recognise Obigbo Local Govt. What we have is Oyigbo Local Govt in Rivers State. I wonder why it will be different on a popular forum like Nairaland. Thank you very much. 7 Likes 5 Shares |

Ikwerreland: You made a mistake. Its not the duty of the mods, its the duty of Nairalanders that created and edit the topic. The topic of the thread is Oyigbo While the author typed Obigbo inside the content. How's it the mods fault? https://www.nairaland.com/6673599/buhari-completes-10-lane-superhighway-linking |

It is the handiwork of the Fulani haters but Fulani-like Igbos. That was how they forcefully renamed our Communities from Rumu to Umu before the war. Now they claim we changed names after the war. The funny part of this all is that Oyigbo people are saying our name is Oyigbo. Settlers who bought land there are saying your name is Obigbo. Which kind of people are these? We will start looking at Deeds of Conveyance. 3 Likes 1 Share |

nairaland should abide by truth and justice.... nairaland should stand it ground as profession and not to fall on political thugs or landgrabbers to pressure on bending and twisting oyigbo to obigbo..... my advice to nairaland is to correct it to oyigbo whenever the thugs put it obigbo.... 2 Likes 1 Share |

theTranscriber:Igbo can't "bully" Ẹdo and Ijaw? First of all, Ndigbo don't bully anybody that's why unlike you people our history is not littered with conquests of neighbouring group. As for the two you mentioned (Edo and Ijaw), they are the ones that brought out the Igbo bad side on themselves and trust me, it will continue to grow. They don't know what they started. Speaking of a fly that challenged an Eagle. It is becoming clear that they will be the ones to pay for all Nigeria has done to Ndigbo - Fact They forget they are closer than the Fulani doing the mess Ijaw and Edo are officially the scape goats of Nigeria frustrations on Ndigbo 5 Likes |

If u like rename it okigbo or okukuigbo. That doesn't change the fact that Obigbo is igbo land, kill yourself.

Ikwerreland: Look at this identity-less ikwerre saying rubbish about a place he has no business with. Obigbo people are proud Igbo people of Asa/Ndoki stock. They are not timid or suffering from inferiority complex like you guys. Everyone still refer it to Obigbo both in nairaland and in Obigbo itself! Oyigbo or whatever nonsense you call it has no meaning in their native dialect so why would they use the fake nomenclature you tribeless people foisted on them? Get lost, ohu ndi Bini. 9 Likes |
