Listening to people like Reuben Abati speak you can see that he is part of those people who enjoy dividing igbos- They're so afraid of igbos from Rivers, Delta, Benue and other places uniting under one umbrella- Those who are causing division amongst igbos, may their families be divided and may they never know peace- Reuben Abati is from Ogun State, he should face his village and stop dividing igbos, the civil war created the division, but someone should remind Reuben Abati that the war is over- I am from Delta state and I am 100% Igbo, Delta is state created by human beings, Igbo is a tribe created by God----
You said it all, they will witness a kind of division they dreamt of if they continue wishing for Igbo disunity, if not for pride...they ought to know Igbo is for Africa and not group people to be placed in one room for useless competition !
Abati has and will always demonstrate his hatred against Ndi Igbo! Igbo worldwide you guys are blessed no matter who likes you and not. Your God is alive ❤❤❤
The lady said that Igbos are being accused of expansion tendencies. Na Wao oo! Possibly, this expansion movement will reach its crescendo when Ohanaze Ndi Igbo reaches out to Igbo speaking people of Benue and Kogi States. Igbo nation is not threatening any ethnicity in Nigeria but the apex cultural organization is trying to bring all Igbo nation notwithstanding their dialect to know that Igbo bu ofu.
Yeah, the whole lot of them are very mischievous whenever Ibos are involved. They become nervous and aggressive whenever Ibos outside their conjured up southeast are mentioned and you can see it oozing from them. This is a carry-over from the gowonian war-time propaganda which was perpetuated afterwards by the now defunct mgbati press. By contrast, if you bring up the issue of Yorubas in Kwarra or Kogi states, "expansionism" will magically morph into "unity" in a typical chameleonic way. At that time the expansionist lexicon will disappear from their chameleonic lips. This is called "shofisticated".
People should warn Reuben Abati to stay clear on matters concerning ndigbo, I'm writing this article to also warn him to use his witchcraft elsewhere and leave Igbos alone.
Where the election was held is of no consequence. The important thing is that Rt Hon John Azuta-Mbata has emerged as the PG. Both Barrister Uche Okwukwu and Senator Azuta-Mbata are great sons of Ikwerre and Igbo, they can brotherly settle their differences without any third party interference. No one should cry more than the bereaved like Abati and Ayo are trying to do. There is no conflicts whatsoever. The Igbo are not expanding into any unknown territories that is not theirs. They're only interested in uniting Igbo wherever they are. It's absolutely in everybody's interest for Igbo to have a voice and come together to find answers to the Igbo question. I think that's a noble agenda to pursue and should be welcomed by well meaning Nigerians, including the Igbo detractors.
He was looking for words from the guest mouth but the guest was very wise and outsmarted him. The guest told him history of Ohanaeze and how ikweres from Rivers fought for the position to be zoned to Rivers state. He mentioned some notable founding members and key stakeholders who are from ikwere,the same place with Senator Mbata.
Let it be on record nobody I repeat nobody is dragging Ikwerre or Ikwerre land with them. Igbos from different Igbo towns live in Ngwa and Onitsha land etc and none of them has ever dragged land with the owners or their host. The issue about Ikwerre is history and identity only. Ikwerre people are not rich neither is their land more developed than any of their Igbo counterparts. As an ijaw man I know we have only three ethic groups in Rivers state 1. Ijaw 2. Igbo 3. Ogoni. It is high time we let go of the past and what happened before and after creation of this evil country called NIGERIA. The old eastern region was in enmity with the south. That being said, we need to work together to restore our lost glory. Obasanjo killed the economic life of Rivers state and other south south states just to favor Lagos and Ogun state. Foolish Wike claims he is very close to the president and instead of him to lobby and make sure Onne seaport and Abonnema wharf is restored he’s busy fighting the state that made him just to score cheap political points. When two brothers fight the enemy inherits their property that’s what is happening to the South South and South East.
Woke is there being used to fight his brothers while Tinubu is meticulously appointing only Yorubas in most of available positions in government and does not spread to entire south but Buhari he claims to be emulating spread his for the whole north.
Look at Reuben Abati’s body language, he looks so unhappy that Igbos are uniting from the South East to South South and to the middle belt. Reuben Abati’s hatred for the Igbo People is really overwhelming and he can’t even hide it any longer.
Its not just him. Over 80% of commenter who trawl Ibo websites promoting disunity whether in Anioma or Ikwerre are Yorubas under various guises. They have vested interest in it. Mr. Abati and co ought to concentrate on the raging contradictions within the Yorubas enclave, focusing on Ijebus, Egbas, Aworis and Ijeshas and their utmost rejection of the Yoruba tag. They will only take notice when Ibos return their favours and start stoking disunity within Yoruba ranks too. They conveniently forget that two can play the game.
Yakubu Gowan really destroyed the igbo tribes but by the special grace of God the igbo speaking part of the country call nigeria will come back again, and remains as the giant tribes in Nigeria
Exactly he was looking for words from the guest mouth but I like the way the guest responded with wisdom and intelligence.. Telling them the history of Ohanaeze, how it emerged, how the name was changed and some of the founding members and past stakeholders who are ikweres who campaigned for the position to be zoned to Rivers Igbos.
Congratu to Sen Mbata on his emerging the President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo worldwide. May you reign be very rewarding and fruitful to you and all Igbos at home and in the diaspora.
Edmund Obilor lives and works in Yoruba land. Discusses Yoruba matters without an issue. Rueben and his colleagues are simply doing their jobs.

Igbos everywhere are Igbos. United Igbos makes other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria panic.Why? Senator Mbata is an Igbo.That is why he emerged the president general.Igbos should forge more ahead to champion their unity.With the look of things, the enemies are not happy.
If l may give my advice to ndigbo. It is high time they stop meeting Reuben Abati on the Arise news for beneficial interview since he has underlined himself as tribalist to the lgbos well beings
@@taiwoodunlade9820why did he lie that Uche Okwukwu who is also an Ikwerre man that said he should be Ohanaeze leader said Mbata another Ikwerre man is not Igbo? The two factions to lead Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo are both headed by Ikwerre Igbo men
It’s all about the waterfront. Ikwerre is Igbo by ancestry, language, culture and tradition. All the controversy surrounding it since 1966 is the work of political interests in Nigeria and Britain who want to ensure that Igbo has no access to the sea.
Hon Mikko is a star and dealt with the issue creditably. The problem is that Ibos find it hard to deal with ambiguity and become unnecessarily too blunt to their own detriment . Hon Mikko is right to deploy the technique of strategic ambiguity to deal with the issue at hand because there is no straight answer. The election has been won and lost and no purpose is served by the Abati pseudo-interview. Take it in-house and resolve it. Strategic ambiguity can also be extended to mean: cunny man die, cunny man bury am.
Barrister Uche Okwukwu is an Ikwerre man of Igbo tribe , same as the current President General of Ohaneze, Senator Azuta Mbata who is also an Ikwerre man of Igbo tribe. I am amused with Mr Reuben Abati's question; where he said that Barr. Okwukwu said that Senator Mbata is not an Igbo man. Let it be on record that Barrister Uche Okwukwu NEVER said that Senator Azuta Mbata is not an Igbo man.
Ruben Abati was very treacherous and trying to create division. He was manipulative and framed up the story but the man was very wise in response and outsmarted him.
That is the Treachery in Yoruba Journalism MNK has been shouting about. But for the advent of social media, that allowed us to have listened to Uche Okwukwu before the Treacherous fabrication of Reuben Abati. Okwukwu should sue Reuben for libel

Bernard Mikko talks like politicians he doesn't want to give us discussion headline, he jumps vital question because he doesn't want to create tension.
Uche Okwukwu himself is an Ikwerre man. And he is one of the people that have seriously championed the fight to ensure Ikwerre remains Igbo. So Reuben, I don't know where you got the quote that he ever said Ikwerre is not Igbo. You Reuben Abati, is a known Igbo hater.
@@emekaumeak5421is because of oil Nigeria government other tribes hausa fulani northerners and yoruba tribe knows igbo tribe more than we igbos knew ourselves in reality if you put all the igbo tribe communities in one full region or country alone without adding other tribes to it igbo tribe is bless Nigeria government other tribes knows that for example we igbo tribe have the resources and human resources to developed and to provide food for ourselves from our own land so what Nigeria government did was to divide igbo tribe communities rivers state alone majority of oil come from igbo tribe communities follow with ijaw tribe and ogoin tribe the same thing dalte state the native igbo tribe communities are bless with oil and agriculture the native igbo tribe communities in benue state and kogi state are bless with agriculture the so called Nigeria create south east is not mentioned the native igbo tribe communities in cross river state and AKWA IBOM state are bless with agriculture and native igbo tribe communities in edo state which give edo state oil state, so if a single tribe have this in their land and people so other tribes will not be happy with them
@@nmd298 is wike the father of ikwerres? Any ikwerre person who says he is from Benin is indeed from Benin and any ikwerre who says he is igbo indeed is igbo
There is so much fear in the heart of the enemies of the igbo. Igbos up and make sure the unity of igbo is accomplish because your love it when you people are divided. But i thank God for this move because it will bear fruit.
Stakeholders??? I thought it is Oha na Eze, not the Governors only. The majority of Ndigbo (Oha) is with Uche Okwukwu. It is the turn of Rivers, and both factions have Ikwerre President as stipulated by the Constitution of Ohanaeze.
@JadeDragon-n8i move on??? SENATOR MBATA has not spoken to Ndigbo about his plans, but DIM UCHE OKWUKWU did on several occasions. How can you explain having the Eastern Governors choose for us our leaders? They are unpopular, and they think Ndigbo will fall in line. This is why Nnamdi Kanu is popular.
Uche Okwukwu himself is from Ikwerre 🤣🤣🤣 This Ruben Abati is a criminal There was never a time Uche Okwukwu said Ikwerre is not Igbo because he himself is an Ikwerre Igbo man
"Igbo expansionist agenda" what an extraordinary comment! What is wrong with uniting The Igbo Nation? Whether they are in Delta, Rivers, Benue, Kogi, Akwa Ibom, Cross River??? #IgboBuOfu #OnyeAghanaNwanneYa #Njikoka
Why None of this TV host Congratulate our President General?, anyway! they're only interested to see Igbos fighting each other, God has started bringing us together once again, Congratulations GREAT MBATA ❤🏟PGONI🏟
He will always pray for disunity of the Igbos at all times in all his actions on tv. That man should go and rest, Senator Mbata is the only PG of Ohanaze worldwide we know.
Biko how did Arise granted this honorable an opportunity to speak on this topic, because I didn't understand a bit of connection of his answers to the question posed to him. Na wao.
Oga shift you no nothing about how politics works. You want okwuwu who has no political or weights to back him if worse comes to worse for igbos. You think someone like okwukwu will have voice to release mnk. Okwukwu has no weight. He should accept the results and rest
@raphael3620 Let us pray that Mbata will influence the early release of MNK. Remember the Governors that put him hasn't been able to do anything, infact it's believed that some of them prefer that MNK continue to be detained.
Madam what is the meaning ogbakor in your language, and the meaning of ikwere, why you people are always talking about the igbos thanks you so much my big brother
So shocked that I want Reuben Abati to play the video where Okwukwu said Mbata is no Igbo. In the video I wstched, Okwukwu only said the election was done in Enugu instead of PH. Mr Reuben where did you get your information 🤔
I taught Wike , " That River state is not part of Igbos, so please help me ask Wike if all his people are wrong and he and his evil betrayal group are right after all?
@@jessicanwigwe8877 Rivers is not part of Igbo but Ikwerres and many others are Igbos. Maybe Wike is referring to IPOB. The Igbos are a bigger problem in this. They should know where and when to stop and again making igboland all about the south east created the rift. So many unintentional actions led to the demoralization of the igboland example Nollywood made it look like Igbos cannot survive without Lagos and today Yorubas abuse the Igbos for that whilst 80% of Igbo billionaires were made in Igboland and North.
Tell Tinumbu to release Nnamdi Kalu and the the insecurity problem in the southeast will be solved. You guys should leave Ohanaeze alone. They have elected a new president general .Whosoever is not ok with the election should go to court. I hope this is not another opportunity for Reuben Abati to talk down on Nde Igbo?
Pls ask abati those Yoruba in kogi are they Yoruba enough to be called Yorubas? Ikwerre language is more like Igbo just as ijebu language is more like yoruba
IPOB should not come and destabilize the minority States as in Rivers state, Delta state Now that they went to hand pick an IKWERE man to head the position of Ohaneze. Azuta Mbata will face challenging times. His homebase are splitted against his candidacy for the position.
Abati can't pronounce ikwerre very well, how can he know anything about igbo? Let him concentrate in his western region and stop his divisive nature on the igbos.
Nawoo, the way some here are interpreting this interview and this discussion. I advise us to go and listen to the interview granted by Mr. okwukwu, and you will have no bias in the way the arise people are asking the question as they are doing. They are only repeating what Mr. okwukwu said.

God bless Igbos world wide!
It is not how long you have been a member but what value have brought to the system
All Igbos are very happy with the election results let us move forward and unite our people all over the world
Pls let ohanaza ndi igbo and Southeast governors discuss how to provide security in the region 🙏
That is there task. But it will start with release of Nnamdi Kanu from detention.
Bernard Mikko talks like politicians he doesn't want to give us discussion headline, he jumps vital question because he doesn't want to create tension.
Ruben Abati leave Igbos alone
Uche Okwukwu himself is an Ikwerre man. And he is one of the people that have seriously championed the fight to ensure Ikwerre remains Igbo. So Reuben, I don't know where you got the quote that he ever said Ikwerre is not Igbo.
You Reuben Abati, is a known Igbo hater.
Honestly, he is coward...let him go and changed them to hausas..
@@emekaumeak5421is because of oil Nigeria government other tribes hausa fulani northerners and yoruba tribe knows igbo tribe more than we igbos knew ourselves in reality if you put all the igbo tribe communities in one full region or country alone without adding other tribes to it igbo tribe is bless Nigeria government other tribes knows that for example we igbo tribe have the resources and human resources to developed and to provide food for ourselves from our own land so what Nigeria government did was to divide igbo tribe communities rivers state alone majority of oil come from igbo tribe communities follow with ijaw tribe and ogoin tribe the same thing dalte state the native igbo tribe communities are bless with oil and agriculture the native igbo tribe communities in benue state and kogi state are bless with agriculture the so called Nigeria create south east is not mentioned the native igbo tribe communities in cross river state and AKWA IBOM state are bless with agriculture and native igbo tribe communities in edo state which give edo state oil state, so if a single tribe have this in their land and people so other tribes will not be happy with them
Let him go and change Ikwere to Yoruba and Hausa or even Fulani
ABATTI has not done anything wrong
Congratulations sir
ABATI SEE YOU SEE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
I can see the pain in Dr Ruben’s face because Igbos are uniting
Reuben ekwensu kpoo kwa gi oku ugburu asaa. Iseeeeeee 🙏
This mugu abati mumu no go happy.Na one of the people wey no want igbos to be anything. Leave igbos go no.
He’s a serial divorcee , 3 times …😅😂
Barrister Uche Okwukwu should sue Abati for defamation asap. Okwukwu never said that Senator Azuta Mbata is not an Igbo man.
Exactly Ruben Abati enjoys seeing Igbos in dissaray. I like the way the guest commented with wisdom and experience.
Sue for what??Are ikwere people IGBOS? Wike already says ikwere are not IGBOS
@@nmd298 Wike is just deceiving himself because of Nigeria politics he cannot speak for the whole of IHURUOHA people because of his dirty politics
Okwukwu never said Senator Azuta is not Igbo
@@nmd298 is wike the father of ikwerres? Any ikwerre person who says he is from Benin is indeed from Benin and any ikwerre who says he is igbo indeed is igbo
Let's just get our people together in peace n forget position but unity
Reuben quietly go and hug transformer, Yariba ronu
There is so much fear in the heart of the enemies of the igbo. Igbos up and make sure the unity of igbo is accomplish because your love it when you people are divided. But i thank God for this move because it will bear fruit.
Stakeholders??? I thought it is Oha na Eze, not the Governors only.
The majority of Ndigbo (Oha) is with Uche Okwukwu. It is the turn of Rivers, and both factions have Ikwerre President as stipulated by the Constitution of Ohanaeze.
It is over , we have to move on
@JadeDragon-n8i move on??? SENATOR MBATA has not spoken to Ndigbo about his plans, but DIM UCHE OKWUKWU did on several occasions.
How can you explain having the Eastern Governors choose for us our leaders? They are unpopular, and they think Ndigbo will fall in line.
This is why Nnamdi Kanu is popular.
@@martinsibeanusi4317 move on, we have a PG
@@martinsibeanusi4317let us unite. senator mbata will speak very soon on his plans for Ndigbo. Let's support him and his team.
Reuben let the igbo rest..
Uche Okwukwu himself is from Ikwerre 🤣🤣🤣
This Ruben Abati is a criminal
There was never a time Uche Okwukwu said Ikwerre is not Igbo because he himself is an Ikwerre Igbo man
What an astute and knowledgeable man, Hon. John Azuta Mbata.
He's not giving them what they want and it pisses them up
"Igbo expansionist agenda" what an extraordinary comment! What is wrong with uniting The Igbo Nation? Whether they are in Delta, Rivers, Benue, Kogi, Akwa Ibom, Cross River??? #IgboBuOfu #OnyeAghanaNwanneYa #Njikoka
We should stop flogging this issue the election have been held and we have to accept it and move on to unite our people across the globe 🌎
We are Igbos let no Hausa or Yoruba divide us,, one love to Igbo people
Why None of this TV host Congratulate our President General?, anyway! they're only interested to see Igbos fighting each other, God has started bringing us together once again, Congratulations GREAT MBATA ❤🏟PGONI🏟
Was Tinubu widely accepted by Nigerians before he became the president Ayo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The only leader acknowledged by Igbos is Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. If you want sit-at-home to stop, release Nnamdi Kanu, PERIOD!
God bless PG.
People with low mindset who are you to tell people there identity, Yoruba should mind their business
He will always pray for disunity of the Igbos at all times in all his actions on tv.
That man should go and rest, Senator Mbata is the only PG of Ohanaze worldwide we know.
You want to claim Edo, Kwara and Kogi too; so what's your wahala
I wonder 🤨 🤔 @@emekanwadirilim9658
I prefer Ikwukwu. However, Gov. Fubara has made his choice. Let's respect that. 🙏
Biko how did Arise granted this honorable an opportunity to speak on this topic, because I didn't understand a bit of connection of his answers to the question posed to him. Na wao.
Your enemies love it when you people are divided
Mbata will not be able to make any impact on the local issues. He was planted there by Governors to ensure Ohanaeze supports Tinubu for 2027
Oga shift you no nothing about how politics works. You want okwuwu who has no political or weights to back him if worse comes to worse for igbos. You think someone like okwukwu will have voice to release mnk. Okwukwu has no weight. He should accept the results and rest
@raphael3620 Let us pray that Mbata will influence the early release of MNK. Remember the Governors that put him hasn't been able to do anything, infact it's believed that some of them prefer that MNK continue to be detained.
@@raphael3620best comment ❤
Madam what is the meaning ogbakor in your language, and the meaning of ikwere, why you people are always talking about the igbos thanks you so much my big brother
Reuben Abati enjoys division of Igbos and what you wish for us you get a thousand fold .
Amen 🙏
Iseeee 🙏
So shocked that I want Reuben Abati to play the video where Okwukwu said Mbata is no Igbo. In the video I wstched, Okwukwu only said the election was done in Enugu instead of PH. Mr Reuben where did you get your information 🤔
Who is Reuben Abati to discuss issues of the Haneze presidency?
Only the Igbos are special in Nigeria and in the black nation.It is a matter of time.
I taught Wike , " That River state is not part of Igbos, so please help me ask Wike if all his people are wrong and he and his evil betrayal group are right after all?
Wike appears to be in witness protection. 😅
He said he's not igbo. I don't know why he bear Igbo name.
@@jessicanwigwe8877 Rivers is not part of Igbo but Ikwerres and many others are Igbos. Maybe Wike is referring to IPOB. The Igbos are a bigger problem in this. They should know where and when to stop and again making igboland all about the south east created the rift. So many unintentional actions led to the demoralization of the igboland example Nollywood made it look like Igbos cannot survive without Lagos and today Yorubas abuse the Igbos for that whilst 80% of Igbo billionaires were made in Igboland and North.
He should move to Binin and leave igboland
Someone should tell Abati to stop accusing Uche falsely.
Diokpa Uche and Mbata are both Ikwerres. One is from Elele while the other is from Eneka.
Mikko is from where
Senator Mbata's maternal home is umuokoroawa umuofor Amaimo ikeduru, owerri imo state
And so?
Sharap@DogonTurenchi-c6y
Tell Tinumbu to release Nnamdi Kalu and the the insecurity problem in the southeast will be solved.
You guys should leave Ohanaeze alone. They have elected a new president general .Whosoever is not ok with the election should go to court.
I hope this is not another opportunity for Reuben Abati to talk down on Nde Igbo?
Pls ask abati those Yoruba in kogi are they Yoruba enough to be called Yorubas? Ikwerre language is more like Igbo just as ijebu language is more like yoruba
Even Ikwere don't have access to the sea
Okwukwu is allegedly projected by IPOB.. Howbeit, We commend Arise for trying to broker peace among ohaneze but questions shouldn't add fuel to fire
Nothing in this interview other than the interviewers looking for a way to divide Ndi Igbo.
Every igbo man is a member of Ohanaeze.
The election is settled
Both abati and this lady are all biased. They are trying to corner Hon to their voice their own opinion.
Even if its the turn of rivers? Imagine this atiru Reuben
its was founded 1975 not 1979
It was renamed in 1975 not founded in 1975
The name was changed to Ohanaeze in 1979. Initially known as Igbo Forum in 1976.
IPOB should not come and destabilize the minority States as in Rivers state, Delta state
Now that they went to hand pick an IKWERE man to head the position of Ohaneze.
Azuta Mbata will face challenging times.
His homebase are splitted against his candidacy for the position.
😂 Abati, why not rent your house out to them for election 😅, maybe be Abati will be happy 😂.
😊 14:53 ❤❤❤❤ 15:11 ot mind D❤❤
Abati can't pronounce ikwerre very well, how can he know anything about igbo? Let him concentrate in his western region and stop his divisive nature on the igbos.
Nawoo, the way some here are interpreting this interview and this discussion.
I advise us to go and listen to the interview granted by Mr. okwukwu, and you will have no bias in the way the arise people are asking the question as they are doing. They are only repeating what Mr. okwukwu said.
