Open rebuke is better than secret love.

Igbo should mind their own.

Be bery careful with this ethnic baiting you are doing. You could land in jail

richie240:



Igbos don't have political ideology like that bro. They support you based on bias and emotions. No matter what fubara says, so long as he can (at worst - indirectly) identify with them by hating their enemies (wike, Tinubu, APC etc), he will get their support.

Their mantra is "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

See this is a very stupid assertion. It is clear you are a yoruba man with no idea of the Eastern region. Politics so my advice to you is to shut up and read comments

Raskimonojendor:

Lol.

Oga please try and shut up. Concentrate in the Yoruba land, you have no knowledge nor idea of politics and ethnic interaction of the old Eastern region. Please shut up and stop breaking record in marvelous folly here in nairaland.

🤣🤣😂😂😂😅😅😂😂
Who Igbo support eeeepppppp
All the clowns they supported
Wertin Dem gain.....
Una go just dey exaggerate nonsense
Must everybody be Igbo to enjoy support
Mtchewwwwwwwwww

You are dense.

Paraman:
They kuku have a twitter president.

Dude you are not smart walahi.

erico2k2:

Nahh they said Rivers belong to igbo.We know the people wey want Rivers to be igbo by fire by force
I have said it Una come beat me, I am waiting

Can you just shut up and stop being deluded for once.

VEHINTOLAR:


The Igbos did not make him Governor of Rivers State to start with ! It's even good for Fubara if he loses the so called "igbos support" as whoever igbos support has always lost;records are there for all to see ! "He shouldn't have said anything",right ? Oh,he should have said he is Igbo when he is not,right ?! Fubara is "full blooded" Ijaw man,whoever is hurt by that simple truth can leave Rivers State for Nnewi !

Oga go and take drugs for your mental disorder. Because this delusion is real mental illness.

erico2k2:

The native language is not igbo, its Ijaw please be guided. If you lean to history for a bit, King jaja of opobo who apparently found Opobo was called Jubo Jubogha.(has no meaning in Igbo language) The opobo people are referred as from a sub tribe of igbo land(Just cos they existed in Igbo land does not make them igbo)They where referred to as the Ndoki people back then approx. 1870
B4 you scream I will give you a famous example, The Benin came from the yorubas but you don't see anyone from Yoruba land saying Edo state belong to Yoruba land)

Please where was Jubo Juboha from? Was it not from Azumini in present day Abia state, before he was taken as a slave to the Anna Pepple House in Bonny.

jrusky:
This is kind of statement I don't like some says, Mr Fubara.

Is Wike no longer from Rivers? Why dragging I'm Ijaw man blabla to this? Is Ijaw and Wike ethnic clan now enemy or what? This is extremely careless bro Rivers is Rivers, settle your scores with Wike and let peace reign, drop arrogancy and chest beaten you are all same family from same state. And remember no matter the narrative you are given to this issue, Wike gave you the opportunity before people voted for you, if Wike refused you the opportunity and give someone else you will be Fubara in your village bro.

Fubara calm down no need creating division in your state this is just politics don't follow the cursed Ipobidient route it lead to destruction.

Dude shut up please.

NaMe4:


I know Fulanis who speak Igbo fluently.



I was buttressing your point. But the fact remains speaking the language does NOT make them Igbo. And they cannot be forced to be Igbo because they speak the language.

did anybody force fubara to learn fluent igbo better than many native speakers? u guys lack understanding, stay out of our business

Irony1:

Can you just shut up and stop being deluded for once.

Look at this less than a man talking.Short one

erico2k2:

go and read it,Jaja was from Ndoki also known as OKWA they are a tribe in the igbo land not igbos the key word is they are a tribr in Igbo land.History clearly stated that he was sold into Ijaw land into houses of perple etc.
so my take is this, To be a tribe in Igbo land does not make you igbo just like to be and Esan man in Edo state does not make one Edo .These are the part of history not passed down t young people and they just assume.

Bros from what you said it is clear you failed use of English. If you are of a particular tribe that makes you a member of that tribe. Subsequently if the Ndoki are a subgroup of igbo meaning they are members of the igbo group as a while, then clearly they are igbos. Calm down and stop spreading lies.

erico2k2:

Well it is good your insecurities a rearing it's head because you are projecting the fact that people already know you as less of a man.

And who ever you support end up being a failure in Economy, security, power and good health care system

Paraman:
He was sold as a slave to the ijaw. He died as an Ijaw man

Dude your plan to sow hatred has failed. Go and sleep.

classicopera:
You have not said anything reasonable here. Ijos are a a very proud and distinct tribe.
I don't know why among all the major tribes in Nigeria, Igbos are the most insecure. I have never seen Hausa trying to annex another tribe, neither the Yorubas. You Igbos are just a bunch of troublesome lots.



=IGBOSON1 post=127156285]Opobo, Bonny and Okirika during colonial times were independent city-states that had influences and origins from the Igbo ethnicity....and Ijaw to a lesser extent! What happened was that after the uncivil war, ethnic politics took over in the region, and the Fulani/Yoruba hegemonic alliance, intent on diminishing Igbo territory, influence and economy, empowered the Ijaw who went on to Ijawnise the aforementioned city-states who up until then didn't see the need to publicly proclaim that they were either Igbo or Ijaw!

Shut up

ReubenE:
some of them are just ignorant. When they hear Ijaw, they think it is Bayelsa. Ijaw has the top three largest local governments in Delta State. Not to talk of parts of Ondo, Edo and of course Rivers State

You misunderstood what the guy meant. He was saying that in the context of Rivers and Bayelsa only. In Rivers the contentious areas are areas with Ibani heritage and history like Okirika, Kalabari, Opobo and Bonny. Unlike the pure Ijaw areas in Bayelsa like Yenegoa, Brass, Nembe and Akassa. That is what he tried to say.

Paraman:
The Ijaw made him one of theirs according to history.

Fubara is a full blooded Ijaw man

Shut up

raymondFirstborn:
based off wikipedia info. .
Have you heard of the ibani language, that's the actual language of the opobo ppl.

Do this ehnnn record someone speaking ibani and take it to an Onitsha person and it will shock you that he will translate it clearly. It is clearly igbo dialect they are speaking. Ibani is an igboid dialect, you cannot rule out the igbo influence in that

Has Gov. Fubara defended himself from the allegation by the FCT Minister, Nyesome Wike that he burnt 🔥 the Rivers State House of Assembly down?

Irony1:


Dude shut up please.

I don't need to tell you to shut your mouth because your mouth is already shut, your brain shut, your senses frozen.

jamesversion:


It is a given, You can't give what you don't have. As far as land is concerned, Okrika doesn't have it to give out. No land in Port Harcourt is owned by Okrika. It is clearly stated that when the British came to build a Port and Port Town( now referred to as Town), they interacted with the chiefs of Diobu. If You think revisionism will get you anywhere. Think again.

For your info, BMH now RSUTH officially is located in Orogbum. What is the distance from BMH to government House?

Feel free to write rubbish as much as you like, especially, as talk is cheap. But you can only deceive yourself.

The Government house Port Harcourt is owned by Oro-Abali, so is Old GRA
Some part of town itself is owned by Oro-Abali which is the biggest community in Rebisi Kingdom

Ibani are Igboid speakers of Ijoid origin. They adopted a trade language over time. If no other Ijaw group,they would identify as Igbos but as Ijaw is large, then they would identify as Ijaw. They have Igbo dialect and Ijaw language. There are Ijaws in the South east as well because I have heard of one Taribo from Abia state and there are Ijaws in the southwest. Let every group control their land and align it anyhow they want is the only way to avoid problems. There is no conquering any group by force any more. That is a bygone era. The land you control is what you control and It can not increase more than that. All people speaking the same language ought to be in the same country to preserve that language and use it as official and if you have any language about to disappear like Ibani, brush it up and restore it as did the Jews with Hebrew. It is better to stop saying anybody at all is something they have repeatedly said they are not. Best scenario for Yoruba is to merge all their lands to Eastern Ghana as well as the land of associated people who agree to be in a Yoruba language country but it will be hard. The minimum is to start from looking out for each other in whatever country they find themselves. It is the same for Hausa in Nigeria and Niger. So let Igbos stop saying anybody is Igbo or not. There are Igboid people who may not be Igbos and the worst case scenario is having two or three Igbo speaking countries in west Africa and like everything it has its own advantages. Don't say people are what they are not. I know where my ancestors were say twenty or even two hundred generations ago but we no longer are from there and they don't claim us

ExudeLoveToAll:




Get well soon.

Are you from Rivers State?

If you are not you have no rights to tell us who we are as a people. Go and tell your kids that wrong history.

You just wake and type trash about others.

Unfortunately, exudelovetoall is not even trickling love to anyone in this comment. On the topic, who tells you that you know the history of a place more than other people just because you come from the place? If you know his submission is wrong, you should have countered it with your own points instead of just exuding hate all over the place.

Now, here's the knell: As long as you people continue to hate Igbos for doing nothing to you, you and your children will remain slaves in your own homes forever. See over 90% of the oil wells at your backyards are owned by people from far-away North and you're not ashamed of yourself. Instead, after seaping ogogoro, you come online to spew hate against Igbos. Ndi ara!

Be bold like yo puppeteer.

Abagworo:


There is officially no unified Ijaw ethnic group in Rivers State just like only Oyigbo and Egbema are counted as Igbos in Rivers State which is why Ikwerre is considered largest ethnic group followed by Ogoni . However on a broader scale the riverine ethnic groups though each distinct are part of the Ijaw nation just like most upland are part of Igbo nation besides Ogoni, Engenni and Abua/Odual. Officially Eleme isn't part of Ogoni but on a broader scale falls under Ogoni nation.

I wonder what you mean by “officially no unified Ijaw ethnic group “.The Ijaws have always been unified.You seem to be confusing a clan with an ethnic group.

Ijaw is an ethnic group with over 16 clans.Each clan with its dialects but similar culture across the ethnic group.Each clan would understand themselves reasonably if the spoke their local dialect with each other,unlike some other ethnic group that need a central dialect to communicate.An Arogbo in Ondo would understand a Kalabari in Rivers or Mein in Bayelsa .

It’s that simple
