Itshekiri throne and dressing are from Benin.

Yet Benins don't understand a single word of itshekiris.

So because itshekiri ancestral kings are from Benin.
Would we say they are Benin people? No.

They ancestral king met people.in the town

Same goes.for Opobo and Jaja


Your logic is highly flawed.

First of all the ruling families of both Ubani and Opobo are Igbos
Secondly, the indigenes of those areas speak Igbo as their first language, and most of them speak Igbo as their only Nigerian language.

Itsekiris and Benin people don't speak the same language. Igbo bible was written in Ubani Igbo. But i can assure you that Edo bible will never be written in Itsekiri

Nigeria, Southern Nigeria, Eastern region was a creation of the British.

Before southern Nigeria was created, Igbo lands were not United, If not for the British, it won't have been United till today.

So make Una let us rest about all this senseless talk.

If toh say nah France colonise Delta and Edo state, shey Una go open Una mouth for Nigeria dey claim another country land?

If Igbo land was one United Kingdom before the coming of the British, I would have understand sef

Was Yoruba land united before the coming of Britain?
Yoruba was also a creation colonialism.
If Igboland start and end in SE so also Yoruba land start and end in SW.Bini land start and end in their 3 LGAs in Edo state.

Truth of the matter is that, their noise end here. No where e reach.
I am currently in Opobo and nothing of cultures shows I am in Ibo land.
They said they were the original inhabitants of bonny yet the same ibos were sold as slaves thro bonny. How come their own kin allow them to be sold whereas the bonny people weren't sold.

They shud come up with another lie.
They have tried Wikipedia and Google to back up their claim but fail to show where Jaja was alculturated into being an Ijaw man before he was even made to lead a house in Bonny.
No matter how they twist the truth to suite their narrative, it won't change anything on ground.
Na normal cruise noise online

Most of these people are IPOB members who are mostly semi-educated traders.

You won't see well educated and exposed guys from the S/East
like Soludo, Kingsley Moghalu or Prof Bath Nnaji declaring on social media that they own a whole people.

What exactly do you guys gain in all these?

Suppose if everybody on this thread declare that Opobo is an Igbo town, how does it benefit you?

What do Nigerians even gain from membership of a tribe? Does belonging to a particular tribe make it easy for one to become successful in life?

Aro people were dealing in slaves in huge chunks of Igboland. That does not mean Arochukwu people are not Igbos.
Neutral writers have already confirmed which ethnic group owns Ubani, and we already know which family owns Opobo.

Good!

Since you already know all these, why all these threads upon threads trying to prove that Opobo ,Bonny and recently Kalabari are Igbos? Why aren't we seeing threads upon threads to prove that Owerri, Nnsuka or Aba are Igbo cities?

There were different Yoruba kingdoms before the arrival of the British. It was the British that merge them as one.

Recognising people of Opobo as Igbo speaking people simple.They are not Ijaw as claimed by our neighbours.

Is former Eastern state only igbo state.... Former western region included Benin and most of the south south but Yoruba are not dragging them to yoruba nation. Jaja was a slave like most Ibos enslaved and brought to reiverrine to sell.... Biafra is a fraud.... Igbo land start and end in South East

Opobo and Ubani are Igbo settlements.

Kalabari people are claiming they are not Ijaws. I know the Kalabari ruling family has Igbo ancestry, but I won't go as far as saying they are Igbos. Definitely they have Igbo blood, and may even have more Igbo blood than Ijaw blood in them.

The day you come to claim Owerri as an Ijaw territory, writings on Owerri will sprout from right left and centre

Recently there has been this argument about the origin of the kingdom of OPOBO in present day Rivers state.

The truth is that, after the Biafran civil war, alot of cities were cut off from the south east to form present day south south.

King JAJA of Opobo the founder of Opobo kingdom was an Igbo man from Imo state. Anyone arguing against this should go do his research.

If king JAJA was an Igbo man, his descendants can not and never be Ijaw.

Any Ijaw in Obopo kingdom is simply a migrant.

You people should stop all these nonsense. You will never see people from developed nations do this. It's always Nigerians, some foolish Nigerian Youths who will not channel their lives into doing something meaningful. Ethnicity here and there.
