leofab:
here is Ndoni in the places named by OP.. so please t me a slack meaning?


and face your work from home president.

Ikechukwuni6:


The ijaws in Rivers have claimed Ndoki and Egbema despite the community saying they aren't ijaws. They equally claim Opobo despite historical evidence such as jaja of opobo as well as an opobo politician claiming igbo.
Likewise they've done the same thing for other ethnic groups land in delta, Akwa ibom,, cross rivers,,etc.
Therefore, do not be surprised if ogu-bolo ended up not being ijaw.
Right now, I'm waiting for someone to provide evidence from the community in question saYing they are,Ijaws before I believe this people claims.

YelloweWest:

OK. Ogubolo is Okirika is 100% Ijaw.

I hope you are satisfied cos this is the simple truth

Ikechukwuni6:


Oyigbo and etche says they aren't Igbo. Yet oyigbo is asking to be moved back to Abia State due to the fact they want to be in an igbo dominated area. Likewise Etche maintains they are igbo.

Tell us something we would believe ijaw turned to Ikwerre turned to ijaw/Ikwerre when caught on his attache by force.

folarinmiles:

how I see it bro.
Why no mind ur own and leave me with my Yoruba mentality

2point5:
All those villages listed are in Ndoni axis of Onelga, Rivers State. They speak Ndokwa/Ndoni and are one and the same with Ndokwa people in Delta State, as they have been shared between Delta and Rivers State.

We are igboid, from the Niger Delta. So if yhu call us igbos, yhu r correct, if yhu say we are not, yhu r also correct. I personally don't have an issue with being igbo, don't just force it and tell me how we migrated from nri or warefa

Barcanista, I am surprised you don't even know the villages in ogu/bolo as yhu couldn't point out the mistake but throw "we are ijaws mantra again", are you sure you are from okrika sef?

Ikechukwuni6:


He goes by the name YelloweWest. That should tell you the guy has,no balls.

Cowardness that's what he is!!!!

They have a genetic disposition of cowardNess. I wonder what group he'll become next. Quote me in the next two weeks, he'll morph to ndoki.

Iskander2:




THEY ARE FREAKING OUT THAT THEIR PILES OF LIES ARE CRASHING

majekdom2:
so people that bear Rotimi, Tobi in Rivers have their roots to yoruba I guess

rezzy:


@
the bolded, agreed.
I have a friend who speaks Andoni, she told me they are no longer in Rivers state, they have joined them to cross Rivers

Brownbarbie97:

No wonder you guys are so confused.
A man who doesn't know where he's from will never know where he is going.Take a cue from the Itshekiris .
Y'all can claim to fall from the sky if that makes you feel good.No one cares.

YelloweWest:

Look you guys need to drop this history shìt and deal with the present. After all its not my ancestors that might have migrated from Igbo land that will vote in the referendum!!!
I don't care what names we bare or where we migrated from, the present day Ijaw, Ikwerre, Etche, omuma Oyigbo man etc from rivers state all in one voice or at least the overwhelming majority say they are NOT Igbos! That's what counts! If you want to keep tracing roots pls take it all the way back to the time of Adam and Eve!

Brownbarbie97:

Stop wasting your time trying to educate these ignorant people cos they'll only mistake it for "attaché by force".who dem epp sef??
They should be proud to even be said to be associated with Igbos in the first place.We are a majority tribe for crying out loud let's comport ourselves biko.
I give up on them,we have tried.They can bear whatever they want to,I don't care.

Brownbarbie97:
Why do people just show their insecurities and agressive nature on this forum??someone asked a simple question and instead of yall to answer him and back it up with facts yall resulted into insults.The op might not even be Igbo to begin with yet yall started insulting a tribe and calling us names??
Answer the goddam question or stfu.
Y'all should visit quora or Reddit and see how civilized people debate and answer questions.This is why we are where we are today.fools

Brownbarbie97:

I doubt if he's ijaw sef.he seems like one of those brethren from the west side going by his monicker

lezz:
Rotimi? Rotimi ? The past River's governor?

You care to specify his parentage lineage? Why are you drawing singular cases in the face of overwhelming instances where villages and communities bear Igbo names?

Is Tobi a Yoruba name?

Benekruku:



You said the bitter truth. Spent 10years in that state!

Even an Ikwerre and Etche man hate when you call them Igbo and there language and names re very close to Igbo.


I still just dont know why...They always distance themselves from Igbo!

lezz:


Ok you have admitted you have no clue already. Thanks.

You were the one who traced history to say your ancestors married Igbos and all, yet their villages and names are Igbo!

If you knew they intermarried Igbo then you should know who they were before the marriage and what language they spoke.

Every honest Nigerian knows Igbo denial by Igbos living on the borderlines came during and after the civil war

YelloweWest:
OK fine my ancestors were supposedly Igbo does that make me igbo especially when it comes to the issue of joining biafra?? HELL NO!

The slaves that left the shores of Africa 100s of year ago, does that make there descendants which are present day African Americans Africans?? Has any group of them or even one of them in present day dropped their American Nationality to pick up that of any African country??

Barack Obamas father was a Kenyan. Does that make Barack Kenyan??

Like I said, drop this history shìt. You can't move forward while looking at the rear mirror. Leave communities that not want to join biafra alone irrespective of their historical back ground. It's for your own good! Learn from the mistakes of the civil war!!!

MultiCEO1:


Your insult not withstanding, Language is the most and strongest factor that determines a nation. Everything else follows from there. There may be similarities in culture and the rest, language still is and remains the strongest factor that determines who's who and who's from where. Little wonder God's response to man's challenging brotherhood and oneness in babel was to confuse man's language, hence racism, ethnicity, tribalism. He didn't touch their culture or customs. He confused there language because language is the carrier of a people's identity, customs and culture. Ikwerre in rivers state, Igbere/Ibere both in Abia state and Nkwerre in Imo state, are all Igbo.

If Ikwerre says he is not Igbo. I from Igbere is not also Igbo. Then let's see who is Igbo. The marauding Fulani herdsmen can differentiate this, I hope. Put them on notice.

MultiCEO1:


Very childish. So much for intelligent debate. Mtcheeew. I'm done talking with you. I appreciate the opportunity to see the depth of your brain. Next time, "there will be no next time." Just thanks already.

majekdom2:
Yes, Tobi is yoruba. My point is, the Igbos are not to say which ethnic community is theirs or not. On records, ikewere and ijaws are not Igbo. It's there in the law. Just as it was with Russia and some part of Ukraine. Fight for the"igbo nation" that's in the law not try to claim people into your cause

Addicted2Women:

We don't give a flying fucck if they're igbo, Hausa or Afghanistan

If you ask them if Rivers state is igbo state, they wil get angry and warn you not to call them igbos

Meanwhile those dumb fuccks answer igbo names such as Amechi, Chibuike, Nwike, Nnanna, Ngozi

Now tell me the meaning of those names

We don't want them in our igbo states, they should join the Fulani herdsmen if they want

lezz:


Good. Igbo or Yoruba isn't a nationhood or racial identity. it is specifically a people identified by a given language which is known as "Igbo".

So anyone speaking a dialect of Igbo or Yoruba or ijaw historically without a trace or proof to have spoken something different in the past is only leaving in self-denial.

If your name and father's name and that of village and community is Igbo or Yoruba or ijaw then you're definitely ijaw or Igbo or Yoruba.

YelloweWest:

There you go with nonsensical theory. You still have not answered the question.
CAN THE BRITISH CLAIM ME AS THEIR OWN BECAUSE I HAVE AN ENGLISH NAME??

THE SAME WAY YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO CLAIM RIVERS STATE COMMUNITIES BECAUSE OF THEIR IGBO NAME.

RobbStark:
Hw many of the Ogu Bolo peeps and even Opobo peeps answer Igbo names.

hw about the Kalabaris, Okrikans etc do.

Now if Port Harcourt or any state in the NDelta is Igbo, why wud Okoroacha say you guys shud stop developing Ph and return home.

mordsith:




What are Yoruba people doing on this thread

Brownbarbie97:

You're just showing ur greatest fear,I never mentioned Biafra at all but I can see it affects you so much.
Why the fear of Biafra?you sound like a Yoruba man to me but that's by the way
Drop this history shit??Lol,u must be dyslexic.do you know how many African Americans are dieing to know their roots?go to the carribeans and see the Afro carribeans embracing their African roots and practicing our religion -Santeria,voudon etc.
Even the whites,asians,arabs,Indians value their history and culture .You can't be addressed as a human if you don't even know where you're from.what makes you different from a goat or a dog on the street??the so called names you bear came from somewhere and they have meanings where did it come from??when ur kids ask you all these questions about your history I guess you'll tell them they are part of the human race and they shouldn't ask further questions.ewu

YelloweWest:

I'm Ikwerre. I'm NOT Igbo!
