TheStronghold:This is not busy body but inferiority complex exhibited via land grabbing antics. While their decision on here does not hold water, these foot soldiers have a way of insulting your heritage. They just fashion a thread and lay claims to your ancestral home and claim that they are better than everyone in the zoo while shouting that they want to control their destiny. Sometimes ago, it was Urhoboland they sat down to dissect, then later Edo, the same Edo they have been calling a cursed state. Now Port Harcourt. They have left Lagos since the chances of physically moving Lagos is too thin. This isn't busy body, this is plain insult. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

GodIsBiafran: Their usual line. Please post something cerebral without screaming Yoruba or Afonja. Anyone against your biafran delusion is Yoruba. You see why we will never accept your by force attache with us? How do you force us to join your biafran fantasy and even claiming our lands without you knowing us? When we talk we are Afonjas, so we have no right to talk. You are the supreme one that will sit in one enlcave in SE and tell us our ethnicity even claiming our land. No worry.

TonyeBarcanista: U made no sense. If PDP is relying on ignoramus like u to reclaim their faded glory then PDP will not rule Nigeria anytime soon. How dare u refer to Tuboniji igbo natives of Okirika as slaves? Do u have any prove that the Koniju were not also slaves? U place emphasizes on Tuboniji women like Koniju dont have women of their own. U almost sound like an Afonja lusting after igbo women. Tuboniji and Koniju are both settlers on Okirika island. There are no son of the soil. There are no adoptee or foster parents. The same right the Koniju have on the island does the Tuboniji have on the island. We refer to dat in legal terms as Joint Ownership. I really worry about the way u were throwing the word slave around wen refering to the Tuboniji. I hope the lastng peace between the Igbo and Ijaw and the record of peaceful coexistence is not about to be permanently broken over nothing. U cannot be referring to a people as slave like that, wat makes them slave and u(Koniju) not a slave or criminals?(I need to know) I will not insult Ijaw people becos of an idiot like u but i will strongly advice u that u tread carefully. The igbo nation are a formidable force of reckoning. Don't aggravate or provoke us into anger. Dont mistake our gesture of good will, forgiveness and friendship for weakness. Respect a people if u want to ur own people to be respected, that is y even the Itsekiri that are half ijaw do not ever want to be identified or associated with the ijaw. U keep fighting everybody. hisssssss! 9 Likes 3 Shares |

GodIsBiafran: TonyeBarcanista a Koniju(fisherman) whom is supposedly from okirika/ogubolo and abuloma keep dishing out false and malicious remarks about his brothers the Tuboniji(Trader/Farmer) from okirika/ogubolo and abuloma. This calls for great concern becos if not checked could lead to tensions and hostilities. The evidential fact on the ground that cannot be disputed are that Okirika have two first languages, kirike and Igbo. Many are bilingual. They are a healthy mix of Ijaw and Igbo. Though they all identify as Okirika rather than either ethnic group. Okrika is a town founded on migration. The Ijaw migrant to Okirika are predominantly married to Igbo women. They co-exist alongside the Igbos peacefully. Okirika is part of a much wider region called abuloma, though their languages are different. Certain parts of Abuloma falls into Port Harcourt. (mainly the water side) This is partly due to City expansion moved more towards Ikwerre areas delibrately excluding Okirika. Okirika has a sizable population in Port Harcourt sprinkled in the south. Clearly, any further expansion should incorporate Okirika island fully into Port Harcourt. One thing that is certain is u cannot talk or mention Port Harcourt without mentioning Ikwerre and Okirika(Abuloma). The Ikwere have delibrately kept Okirika out of Port Harcourt based on fear that they will attempt to claim Igweocha as their ancestral land. That fact was confirmed here by TonyeBarcanista claim that the entire Port Harcourt is ijaw land. Alfred Diete-Spiff an Ijaw man disposed Igbo of their properties after the war becos they feared igbo dominated the City whilst many of them still lived on boat floating on water. Many ijaw in Port Harcourt are still living in houses taken from the igbos till this day. It is not so much about the house but the land that the houses were built on have also changed ownership from Igbo to Ijaw. TonyeBarcanista: 1 Like |

Bridget95: Sister - thank you for exposing that charlatan. Yorubas are allowed to have dialects but Igbos are not. That is why I keep saying all these anti-Igbos are Yorubas pretending otherwise. 2 Likes |
