 Asari Dokubo, a prominent Niger Delta figure, stirs the pot with a bold declaration: "Ikwerre people are Igbos, and 80% of Rivers State land is Igboland!"

Despite being identified as an Ijaw man, Dokubo claims his roots trace back to Abam in Abia State, making him an Igbo man.

He challenges the Ikwerre people to embrace their Igbo heritage, citing their names and language as evidence.

"Ezewuwo, not Obawuwo—Eze is an Igbo word," he argues.

Dokubo's statement sparks a heated debate, with some agreeing and others opposing.

Will this declaration reignite the discussion on ethnicity and identity in the region?
