This trending video reveals how, before Independence, the Willinks Commission recognized Igbos as indigenous to Rivers State and Port Harcourt as an Igbo territory. It also reveals how the Civil War was used as a cover to trigger the identity crisis that persists to this day.

Was Port-Harcourt not called Igwu-Ocha before amalgamation which an igbo word? Why is it now in augmentative verbosity if Rivers is igbo? The target of Nigeria is to rubbish igbo and that is not going to happen.

He and his family migrated to Diobu from the Igbo hinterland. That fact alone is telling. Indigenous Ikwerre people already lived there before their arrival. He is therefore not an indigene of the area but a migrant who settled there and should be regarded as a resident rather than an indigene.. This is common sense and does not need any mathematical equation to sort a solution.

Not an inch of of our land will go to either ijaw or Yoruba people. Else na war

Well said. Credit to Dr. Katch Ononuju for laying out the record with clarity and composure — Willink, Diobu, the old Rivers Province, and the long presence of our people in that space are not inventions of the moment. And thank you to the poster for putting this history back in circulation. An Igbo who refuses to forget is doing necessary work. May we keep the facts, keep the peace with our neighbours, and keep our dignity. Igbo amaka.

Why you Ibos like forcing your identity on others??? Ikwere people say they are not Ibos 💯💯,, leave them alone and develop your undeveloped region Biko 🙏🙏🙏,, ikwere are ikwere while Ibos are ibos 💯💯💯,,

It is always clear When a proper Igbo man speaks, not like those ones who are confused about their tribal lineage( ndi igbo - bini)

@micheal56675228 Anybody who cares to research will confirm the accuracy of this history.

And you call yourself a lawyer. You be should be ashamed of the level to which you have sunk. You may think that this is about social media and trending but you are destroying yourself. So if you are "indigenous" to Rivers state does that translate to Rivers being Ibo land?

So, because you and your family migrated into Diobu now means you're the owners of the land? Didn't meet the owners of the land there?

This is true. It was originally known as Igweocha.

The same subterfuge, impersonation and fakery that Nnamdi Azikiwe and his cohorts used to deceive the Oyibo pple to water down the demands of Ikwerre and other minorities is what Onyedikachi Ononuju from Ikeduru, Imo State and his gang wanted to use to deceive pple in Abuja.

This is your answer. Confused tribe 😂😂😂

But why Yorubas and ijaw go leave Lagos and bayasa dey drag rivers with Igbo people ? This one na madness oo

Nothing wey una go go claim finish.....why una too like to dey thief other people's things like this? Na Curse? 😡

And you could not claim back your abandoned property in your own land after war for the past 60 years

Yoruba is the British of west Africa they're trying to use the British game to divide us so that Igbo will depend on Lagos sea port Apapa. Them no want Igbo take our their land wish is PH to get access to the sea. Yorubans the game is over.

And this is the brain you used in defending Nnamdi Kanu oh, no wonder he's in Sokoto eating watery beans. Even if you desperate lots like run to Donald Trump, Iwhuruonha people will never be ibo. We're solid in our resolve, try us and see, post civil war will be child's play!

Port Harcourt is Igbo land but your property was declared abandoned property in the same Port Harcourt

My own is that Nigeria government should free Mazi Nnamdi kanu, but if they don't want, make Una command, cuz Nigeria has killed Igbos Biafrans enough

Ikwerre is a clan name just as, Nkwerre & they belong to one Igbo tribe. Even if they said they're not Igbo,good l, but Port Harcourt(Igweocha) is Igbo territory, so Ikwerre should look for their ancestral land & inhibit there

Who are the other tribes in Rivers and PH? Why are Ibos so foolish and senseless often. It doesn't make sense. The Prof has stated the truth: any Ibo outside Ibo land and claiming that land is either a Slave or the descendant of a slave. QED

Before the civil war port Harcourt said they are Ikwerre and wanted to create Rivers state but Ojukwu refused

Igbos will imagine something in their head and start celebrating it

Bold Faced Land grabber. After mouthing na we get #Lagos in 2023, Port-Harcourt is their next target. #Criminals

And I keep on asking yọu, all these social media noises u always make, what time did you have to study people's cases on your table? Or u think by doing all this late emphasis we may forget ur atrocities which leads to Kanu's predicaments. Aloy I can't become ur victim.

"We are accepted as part of PH". Does that mean the same thing as saying PH is Ibo land? Even those migrants claiming to be part of PH are in a small portion of the state. Ibos are evil

IGBOs brings success everywhere they go. IGBOs develops 💯 ... This one sweet me 😍

This is bigger than politics. it's about identity, heritage,history and a right of a people to preserve their connection to their ancestral land

“Oba Akenzua said it is not true. There is nothing like Benin during the days of the Aro confederacy. The Benin kingdom existed and nobody came to Rivers state. Even the name of the man that came back Akalaka, that’s an Igbo name.”

Ijaw Pipu used to kidnap Ibo to sell to the Oyinbo. 😂

Because day give you land to stay because of one Nigeria you want to claim the land and changed their identity criminals

@BiafraMFA All of them answering IGBO’S NAMES saying they’re not IGBOS were born during & after the war, they’re not indigenous IGBOS of that land,they’re not IGBOS they’re planted there for what they’re doing now they’re not sons & daughters of the soil. They’re all agents for assignment🙏🏼

This man is economically with the truth. He has a good grasp of the historical facts. It makes no sense to say that places like Bonny, Ikwerre, Opobo are Igbo lands simply because it’s inhabited by people (former slaves and their families) who came from the mainland Igbo.
