Ok, Ok, I recognize that a "fool is not teachable". Then, of course, this "shota", an alterego of Tom Taraalaapuye Alabaraba, is a fool. |

KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE KULA, MINAMA , IFOKO , ANGULAMA , KE , SOKU , KORO AME , AKIALA AME , IGODO AME , BUKO AME , AMABIBI AME and others before you can write the history of KALABARI . KALABARI is not just Ende ame . CONFUSED old man . I am not Tom Alabraba |

I suppose the word "Alter ego" and its varied usages are lost to this clear-thinking man! Or instead of "clear-thinking man" should I have said "fool"? Little wonder waiting to read the book seems out of consideration. |

uncle KIWI its high time you come home or at least visit BAKANA the town is in transition. come join us lets rebuild |
Re: Kalabari People! by robosky02(m): 5:02pm On Sep 26, 2014 |
i read this line above in one of the discuss " Now the dispersal of KALABARI PROPER FROM THE OLD SHIPPING WAS DUE TO INTERNAL CRISES. It started when Chief Igbanibo rebeled against the authority of KING AMAKIRI." thus to just start that Igbanibo rebeled against Amakiri will sound like saying Igbanibo is sturborn. rather the truth is that IGBANIBO as his name suggest means the agitator, the one who fights for his right He was hair apparent to the Kingship upon which Amakoro (or Amakiri) is seating on and was a treat to amakiri thus the plot to eliminate him. which made him to flee by night to IWOFE were he blocked the Kalabaris from ever passing to go and by food. and later moved over to found Bakana |

Re: Kalabari People! by shota(m): 7:54am On Oct 20, 2014 |
OboloMAN: This is a piece of history of about 1/30 th constituents of the Kalabari Kingdom. It is part of the history of the AWOME group . There are numerous other groups like .. IGODO AME, AKIALA AME, BUKOYE AME, , KE, KULA, MINAMA, SOKU, IFOKO, EKULAMA, ANGULAMA, OPOROAMA, TOMBIA, and about 10 more others with each having their own distinct history. |
Re: Kalabari People! by OboloMAN: 9:41am On Nov 21, 2014 |
shota: Why you try to write a revisionist history of Kalabari people , You should not do so by draging other ethnic Nationalities like Obolos(Andoni) into your quest. |
Re: Kalabari People! by shota(m): 11:20pm On Nov 21, 2014 |
OboloMAN: Obolo is a new name. The ancient settlers of that territory were the Defaka and remnants of Defaka are the NKORO. Obolo is not an Ijaw word. It is the new word for the mixed breed of people who are mixed with Defaka, Ibibio, Igbos and Engenni . The Original natives of the place are the Defaka Ijaws like I have . Defaka Ijaws are part of the ancient people of Koro ame also known as AWO ame . The Koro ame are children of Opu Koro ye who is also found in OBOLO HISTORY.. |

I yim bere kiwi992, Trust you are well. I have spent a lot of time reading your posts on Kalabari people and been so fascinated with your knowledge. My name is Owunaribo Iyalla and my dad is the late comptroller of Nigerian customs Maurice E. B. Iyalla. Regardless of the many issues plaguing our dear Bakana, I'm a proud member of Chief Bagshaw's house of Iyalla polo and grandson of Chief E. S. Yellowe - Indeed, a truly PROUD Kalabari man. It is exciting to chat to you on here. Mentioning this thread to my mom, she mentioned she spoke to big Aunty Otokini last year when her mum Sisi passed. You come from greatness as well and I salute the memory of your dad the late Dr C. I Berepiki. I live in central London and thought I'd say hello on here. P.s, rest assured none of that political melodrama that people drum up is none of my concern. I'm just happy to meet another true Kalabari man, more so, my brother. Stay great, MEBIyalla |
Re: Kalabari People! by nayeb: 6:09pm On Jan 28, 2015 |
robosky02: There seems to be made, quite often this mistake about the name of King Igbanibo. His name was never given to him in reaction to any rule of the Amachrees over Kalabari. It would be nice if the Bakana people would not fall into the story line of the liar Amachrees. With the arrival of Odum, and his separation of the Ende-ame into three groups under the three Princes: Odum, Otaji and Owukori, the Amachrees never had any bona fides Kalabari citizens with which to form a base, and for any person to become even a bona fides Kalabari Chief the person must have a base consisting of 100 Kalabari citizens. Hence the Amachrees were never able to become Kalabari Chiefs not to talk of being Kalabari Kings. Now onto the name of King Igbanibo, his mother was named Igbani by her father Prince Fenibo, commonly called Ofeni. He gave her the name and died even before the Amakiri nonsense started -so the name did not have its origins with respect to the Amakiris being in Kalabari. She then gave birth to a son who was then given the name Igbani bo meaning son of Igbani, a sort of trace of his royal blood to Ofeni who coined the name Igbani for his daughter. The reasons for which King Igbanibo mounted a Blockade against the Kalabari City State and the Amakiri Enclave was because at the time of his escape from the assassination, the Edi Abali leader stole his wealth and the rest taken by the thieving Amakiris and Princewills, and he wanted his wealth returned to him. Please read the Iwo Fe War Peace Agreement. Do try to get it right. To learn more about the reasons for the attempt to kill Igbanibo please read my book, they are well detailed there. (http://www.amazon.com/Kalabari-History-Evolution-Under-Monarchs/dp/0988996073). For one thing Igbanibo never allowed Abbi to ever present himself as a Kalabari citizen, and as such always blocked him from undertaking any Kalabari ceremeonies. Thus stopping Abbi from ever claiming any airs about being a Kalabari King. besides Abbi knew that Igbanibo knew that he Abbi was a fraud in claiming that he fought that infamous war at Okaki when in fact the war was fought by Chief Iyalla, and Abbi knew that Igbanibo knew his (Abbi's) fraudulent parade of himself as a warrior. There are even more reasons please refer to my book. 1 Like 1 Share |

shota: It is amazing what a fool some of these people are. You would think that with so much claimed knowledge the information would be put down in a book in chronological order as I have done in mine book, but no, that does not happen because the falsehood would show up. First of all consider the ignorance of this "shota fool", He does not seem to understand that Kalabari has dual spelling in most cases because the Kalabari language is a confluence of two languages: the Ijaw and the Bantu; and that the Bantu language is now predominant. The spelling "Igodo-ame" is the Bantu spelling when the actual spelling is "Egodo-ame" which is the Ijaw spelling and the correct spelling because that family group was Ijaw and was of the younger brother of Kalabari by the same mother and father (Uge). This ignorance about the origin of Kalabari language of this shota fool, I also tried to explain to him earlier that "Perebo" as having the meaning "Giver" is the Ijaw spelling because he was of Ijaw origin, and that his preferred spelling of "Piribo" is Bantu spelling but the fool is still parading hisi utter ignoramus self. Tombia as constituted when it came to join Kalabari under Kininyanabo Mangi Suku had emptied out the original residents and had become mostly the faction of the Owuerre-Daba family of Kuro-ame who had moved over there in revolt against their own family King Owuerre-Daba. So the Tombia people were not new to Kalabari. |
Re: Kalabari People! by shota(m): 12:24pm On Feb 07, 2015 |
nayeb: There is Piri ( Pere ) in Ijaw which means Give and it is different from Pere which means wealth or King Pere as wealth or King is also spelt as Peri in Kalabari . The PEREBO in question simply means PERE of.. Your problem is senselessness . BANTU is not a language group but a Race and every Southern West African tribe is of the BANTU race. IGODO is an EDO word and the IGODO ame were Edo people that lived in Torusarama piri... The Father of Perebo Kalabari ( Not a name but a title ) is a MAN from MEIN kingdom whose name was not also known... MEIN is an Ijaw clan . Perebo Kalabari's father is from OGOBIRI settlement of MEIN clan which is more than 1000 years far from UGE era. |
Re: Kalabari People! by shota(m): 12:38pm On Feb 07, 2015 |
nayeb: Just go and delete that piece of rubbish you called Kalabari history cos all the clans are coming up with their history now. The history of KE was published last year and the books are on sale. The History of KULA is in the making. History of ANGULAMA, MINAMA, IFOKO, SOKU, ABISSE are all to be made soon . These communities existed over 100s of years before the Kingdom of KALABARI was formed in the 17th century by AMAKIRI. |
Re: Kalabari People! by shota(m): 12:45pm On Feb 07, 2015 |
MEBIyalla:Yall need to go back to Bakana and build that lost decaying settlement.. I still remember when I used to be the only human being sleeping at Berepiki Polo when I briefly lived in Bakana. This was because, the compound people have ran away . Today even Obuama ( Harrys town ) is more developed than BAKANA . |
Re: Kalabari People! by ijawcitizen(m): 3:34pm On Feb 07, 2015 |
shota:The Igodo ame people are not edos but part of the ancient ijaws (orus) who founded the Ogiso dynasty in ancient benin, the name has no meaning in bini. The largest chunk of those ijaws are within Iduwini clan today |
Re: Kalabari People! by shota(m): 2:03pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
ijawcitizen: My brother Thank you for that correction.. That's what I had in mind to drop tho.. This my Gbanaye uncle I am sure does not even know what the SO mean in the name SOTONYE . I am sure he does not even know what Ogina so or Ogiso is in Kalabari . |
Re: Kalabari People! by shota(m): 2:08pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
nayeb: This is what KULA people wrote about themselves as part of the KALABARI kingdom...... READ IT and learn and stop making the history of your forefathers a general Kalabari kingdom history... The origin of the people now known as Kula in the Eastern Niger Delta area dates back to many centuries ago with a long chequered history. The exact time of the movement from their remote ancestral homelands into the Eastern Niger Delta base to establish the Kula Kingdom is, however, not easy to come by for some prevalent reasons, being a pre-literate period. History has it that Kula is an amalgam of fourteen (14) ancient independent communities scattered around the present Kula territory. These include: Opu-Kula, Boro, Nangwo-ama, Kongo-ama, Kilama/Diaba/Offo, Isoma, Ingeje, Owuangaye, Ibiame, Tubo, Ariame, etc. Today, these and other satellite communities combine with the present Kula Town (Anyame-Kula) to make up the Kula Kingdom. Oral traditions and recorded history portray the Kula people to be very old and well established for a long time in their present domain. Nembe traditions recall hostilities between Kula and Onyoma (one of the early seven settlements of Nembe) at a period in her early history before the reign of Kala-Ekule who regrouped together the remnants of the seven ancestor settlements (which were thitherto ravaged by either internal wars, plagues or external attacks) to form the nucleus of the present city-state or kingdom of Nembe.[2] The period of this ruler (King Kala-Ekule of Nembe) has been estimated to about 1400.[3] Judging from this tradition of the neighbouring Nembe Kingdom gives a relative age of Kula much earlier than 1400 CE. In a similar vein, early European records[4] reported European explorers meeting the Kula people in their present site in 1472 before moving to the New Calabar river due to some unfavourable environmental conditions (According to accounts by Dr P.Armoury-Talbot, a colonial administrator at Degema[5] ). More over, the report of the Justice G. G. Robinson's Commission of Inquiry into the Okrika-Kalabari dispute, in the then Degema Division, in 1950 maintained the fact that Kula (like Bille and Ke) was established before the arrival of the Kalabaris at the Old Shipping (Elem-Kalabari) despite being associated with the latter through administrative convenience, inter-marriage, neighbourliness etc. |
Re: Kalabari People! by nayeb: 10:19pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
shota: The lies of this man never ceases to flow. He has become so pathetic that he no longer even knows when his lies have started to become very obvious: Consider for instance his statement as made bold above. For that statement to be true, then Ogobiri will have been formed since 100 AD but that would be before the Arabs attacked the Blacks from North Africa southwards that started the migration of the Ijaws along the West African Coast lands. The fact is at about 100 AD the Sahara Desert was still teeming with life being in some state of forest. Shame he does not even realize that he is declaring himself as a pathetic and pathological liar. |
Re: Kalabari People! by nayeb: 10:26pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
shota: The shota fool continues the parade of his ignoramus self: consider that he lies about Igodo-ame being Edo people resident of Torusarama piri which is the same as Iwo Kalabari (Old Shipping) and when he is called out as a liar that the people are actually in Iduwini Clan in the Ijaw lands, then he writes thus: "My brother Thank you for that correction.. That's what I had in mind to drop tho..". Now how in Gods name does Old Shipping become Iduwini Clan locale? Other than that the man, the Shota fool, is disgracefully pathological mentally and in recognizing truths. How was it that he had it in mind to show that Old Shipping is also Iduwini Clan locale? The mental state of this man has become questionable. Really he needs help. |
Re: Kalabari People! by nayeb: 10:35pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
shota: This shota fool, indeed has become a disgrace to himself, as he has started to disgrace his community: Consider that he writes Soku had been in existence for 100s of years before Amakiri formed the ' kingdom of Kalabari", yet the Harry (Ombo) family has been claiming that their father Ombo founded Soku, although Amakiri was the man who bought Ombo as an Igboman slave whose towns folk were selling off because he was a murderer and Amakiri needed murderers to kill the Kalabari people and so brought Ombo to Kalabari City State. So then how was it that Ombo founded Soku 100s of years before Amakiri formed "the Kingdom of Kalabari"? Now it is becoming obvious why these wanton liars would never write their lies into a book with their names attached, less they become branded as pathological liars like that other fool, Enefaa Johnbull. |
Re: Kalabari People! by pazienza(m): 10:40pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
Well, the word Igodo is not exclusive to Edo people. In Igbo, Igodo means Key/Padlock. Just had to point that out. |
Re: Kalabari People! by nayeb: 10:45pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
shota: This is ridiculous of this mentally deprived, shota fool; he writes that Amakiri formed the "Kingdom of Kalabari" in the 17 century which would be in the 16th Hundreds, yet in 1715 -1720 Kininyanabo Igonibo, (the first son of late Mgbeye Akeamaoloye, Kininyanabo of Kalabari Union I) was ruling Kalabari as is well-documented? Besides he has also called the Ke people liars because the Ke people whom he had been promoting in conjunction with the Kula as the truth tellers said that their King received Amakiri the fugutive in about 1735, and asked Kininyanabo Daba to protect him from his numerous crimes. So now either the Ke people are outright liars or this shota fool has become truly pathological, and must be completely disregarded as not qualifying as even a human being. He no longer even realizes when he has started to contradict himself and started to get himself tangled up in his own lies. |
Re: Kalabari People! by nayeb: 10:57pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
shota: I am sure that the mind of this shota fool has been fried from all the drugs he has been taking. Let's face were this not so, he would have taken the time to read my book (http://www.amazon.com/Kalabari-History-Evolution-Under-Monarchs/dp/0988996073) and then shown that the information he has quoted about the Kula people contradicted anything I have written in my book about Kula and how they became part of the Kalabari Ethnic Nationality. He and the Kula people may forget that the documents attesting to that history are available; and they are in the Oxford University Library archives, and I doubt anyone wants ultimately to be called out as a liar. Kula became Kalabari people during the reign of Kininayanbo Igonibo, and the records are there, they subordinated their monarchy to the Kalabari Kininyanabo of the Igonibo reign. So liar ignoramus shota fool, when you come out here and contradict what I have written in the book, we shall talk again on this subject. For now your quote is meaningless nonsense. |
