@ Beaf,

That quote or that letter does not make him a Nembe.

Pennywise:

Jonathan Ebere Goodluck. You wonder if this is not an Ibo presidency through the back door. smiley

And if it is? Are you better than any Igbo?

@ Beaf,

In the same post with the link to the letter, I wrote that it doesn't.
Re: PRESIDENT JONATHAN IS A BONAFIDE IJAW - EGBESU ORACLE by 006(m): 5:40pm On Jul 12, 2010
Is this not your previous post?

Beaf:

Jonathan is Nembe, even though he is from Ogbia. Don't forget that he is from a border area as I said above, so its quite possible (maybe, even expected) that he has some Igbo blood.

So how do you know he's Nembe?

It is my opinion that Jonathan is Nembe. How does the above imply that the Nembe kings letter makes Jonathan a Nembe man? shocked
If you can prove he isn't Nembe, simply make your point. We are listening.

As far as I know, Jonathan is from Ogbia because he was born there. In some political circles, he is held as Nembe.

After stating categorically that Jonathan is Nembe, you went ahead and posted a quote and a link to a letter from Nembe King probably to substantiate your claim; if not, what’s the essence of the quote and the link?

I really don't appreciate arguments that aren't in the least bit important, like arguing over whether bread can be white or brown. Charlie, I said Jonathan is Nembe, if you have proof that he isn't please post it. Or if you have no point, sit down and watch.

Well your opinion doesn’t count, so move away for those with credible facts to say something that’s reliable.

Mind you, I didn’t create the thread. So there are people that need answers, credible answers and not your s.tupid opinion.

If you noticed, the person who posted did not ask the two stup!d questions you did. grin
The OP wondered about the origin of the names "Ebele" and "Azikiwe", not the foolishness of whether Jonathan is Ekpeye or whatever. Na wa!

It amazes me when people that know nothing just open their mouths and talk rubbish!

Jonathan is an Ogbia man.
Ogbia and Nembe are two different places.
The only similarities btwn both places is the fact that they are both under the same senatorial district and share the same boundary.
Nembe is a Local Govt Area in Bayelsa State. Ogbia is a Local Govt Area in Bayelsa State. Each is independent in that regard.

The name "Ebele" was originally borne by Goodluck Jonathan's father.
The name was just incorporated (I wonder why) into his names.
I.e My father's name is Mr. John Mark. My name is Miss Mary Mark.
Somewhere along the line, I decide to bear Miss Mary John Mark. Big deal!

As for the name "Ebele" being Igbo, that I am not entirely sure of.
In those days, Ijaw people had an interesting knack for giving their children names on very funny basis.
E.g I have a cousin named Russia; I know a man from my mother's village named America. . .
They were given those names because sm1 in the family at the time paid a visit to those countries.

In this case of Goodluck's father bearing the name "Ebele", it's either he was given the name in honour of a man named "Ebele" or his mother or grandmother was Igbo.

I am 100% Ijaw. However, my paternal great grand mother was Igbo. Let's assume her name was Nkechi.
It would be very amusing to see the name "Nkechi" inserted amongst my names if I become President.

Whether Jonathan is Igbo, Ijaw, Ogoni, or Ibibio one thing is clear, eastern Nigerians are more related by blood, culture, and proximity than contemporary Nigerian politics would have us believe.
---Another reason why all should support GJ to do a good job and make us proud in office.

G.E.J emergence as no. 1 citizen of Nigeria today is because of his south-south geo-politcal affiliation.
Even if he is Igbo, he is not the one Igbo people are expecting.

Who are the Igbos expecting? Somebody named Ibrahim? Mohammed?, or Sanusi

For God sake, what we know already is enough.

He was born in Bayelsa state, grew up there and became the Governor of the state.

Who cares if his name is more Igbo than Ijaw? He is from Bayelsa State - Period!

The man seems to be an Ekpeye who after the BIAFRA war (Ekpeye fought with their Igbo kits against the federal govt) decided to become an Ijaw grin grin grin grin. either way, God dey. Hahahahah!

ok!
Re: PRESIDENT JONATHAN IS A BONAFIDE IJAW - EGBESU ORACLE by EzeUche(m): 9:58pm On Jul 12, 2010
He is not from a core Igbo area, so he cannot be considered a core Igbo man. If I ever became president of Nigeria, Igbos would say that I am Ibibio or a mutt due to my Aro ancestry.

Hi Miss Mary Mark. . . . hehehehehe. . . .

@ topic,


Anyone familiar with Ijaw names should know that it is not uncommon for Ijaws to bear Igbo names and have Igbo ancestors. My family name is Uwakwe for example.

I have heard that Jonathan's estranged father is of Okrika lineage sef, and that Ogbia is his mothers town. Heavy Igbo influence in Okrika could explain his name . . . possibly.
