Is Bonny Igbo Or Ijaw??? by Nobody: 1:33pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
Whenever I try to get the evidence at my disposal to the public, I get banned automatically. But when people post evidence against the Igbo claim, it is allowed to sail on nairaland. Anyway, let me see how this one goes. This evidence was put down by Dr. Baikie, the person whose name was adapted in naming English, BEKEE in Igbo. 1 Like

Ojiofor: Thank God that a few of these facts are immortalised in books, otherwise, if you're to depend on wikipedia. You will not even know that Bonny's an Igbo town. I just thank these explorers. I also thank the Portuguese explorers of the 1400s for recording that Nri was the cultural and social overlord of Benin. If not for this, Benin will be attempting to claim the whole of Igboland. 4 Likes |

Ijaw. Yes, they may speak Igbo. Yes, they may have a significant amount of Igbo blood. But Bonny loyalty is towards the Ijaw nation. Let it go. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

RedboneSmith: They don't just speak Igbo. A lot of people in Kalabari speak Igbo, yet we have never claimed them as Igbo. Dr. Baikie wrote that "BONNY PEOPLE CLAIM AN IGBO DESCENT". What that statement means, is that THEY'RE IGBOS. If they were not Igbos, that statement would have claimed that they were of IJAW DESCENT or BRASS DESCENT. 1 Like |

OfoIgbo2:since you want to display your ignorance here, i have questions for you. What is kalaibiama? What is the language of Bonny people? What are the hierachy of titles?

Why did King Pepple give Dr. Baikie a list of Igbo words, in explaining the Ubani (Igbo) language to the white man You think we don't know you guys have been making attempts to confuse the Ndokis, and force them into believing they were originally Ijaws

OfoIgbo2: They are not ijaws, but Yoruba, hausa, Fulani and tvi people clown You Igbos desperation to drag others into your doom will be the end of you. You are here dragging bonny people who have nothing in common with you they don't Practice your culture or bear Igbo names some how somewhere you are still dragging them continued. That same Bonny people you are dragging will be the first to drowned you in that Bonny sea. BTW they speak Igbo( not all of them) because igbo then, is the only way to communicate with slaves ( which Igbo people are) 6 Likes 1 Share |

Allen102: You haven't countered Dr. Baikie's account. He wrote this down from the proverbial horse's mouth. Bonny people clearly told him they're of Igbo descent. Are you trying to say Ndoki-Igbos are not the original settlers in Bonny (Ubani)? I am aware that you Ijaws have been making plans to twist history and claim that Ndoki-Igbos are Ijaws. Here is a link to prove that https://www.nairaland.com/5150843/ndoki-clan-reunion-ijaw-root |

OfoIgbo2: Which Bonny people told who that they are igbos? I don't need to counter anything because, you have no idea what you are talking about. Bonny people are 110% ijaws with 2% of Igbo blood ( slaves) 4 Likes 1 Share |

OfoIgbo2: Yes they are igbos! That's why they bear ijaws names like: Ayiba Priye Boma Tamuno and so on That's why they have Amayanabo as their King. Na mumu they worry you Igbos I swear. Stay da fvck away from Ijaw people. Spit. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Allen102: First of all, the royal family remains Igbo till today. Fulanis even gave Orji Uzor Kalu titled, yet he remains Igbo The thing is that Ijaws for over a century have been planning on taking over Ndoki land of Ubani, with little cultural encroachments here and there. The other day I was watching a new Ijaw cultural display now going on in Bonny which only started last year, so that in a 100 years time, Ijaws will start claiming that that cultural display has been there for a thousand years. You even went as far as trying to confuse some Ndoki people that they're originally Ijaw. https://www.nairaland.com/5150843/ndoki-clan-reunion-ijaw-root When Ndoki people come up with their claims, don't be scared. Let Ndoki people hear that you wanna claim their territory. By the way, is NWAOTAM an Ijaw word 2 Likes |

OfoIgbo2: You lying son of the devil which royal family are igbos? From your write up, you don't even know what you are talking about self In case you forget, let me remind you. Bonny people fought against Biafra they are the ones who aid Nigerian army to slaughter igbos during the war, they help by drowning you clown in Bonny sea and they will not think twice to do it again. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Allen102: Preach it brother preach it! That clown Ofolgbo2 don't know Bonny people don't like Igbo's that much, they are trying their best to avoid igbos. If they are not bearing ijaw names they rather op for English names like brown, green, blue Jack and co because they don't want anything to do with igbos. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Allen102: Unfortunately for you, the British explorers have already put down in writing, the real owners of Bonny. You can go and hang yourself. When we come for our possession, you just have to crawl back into your hole. Ukpabi Asika was against his fellow Igbos in the Biafran war, so also was Gen. Ike Nwachukwu and a host of others. That doesn't make them, less of Igbos. Whatever intimidation you Ijaws have used on Bonny people will be lifted at the appointed time. I know you guys are making frantic efforts for the Bonny people to learn Ijaw, as they don't speak it. They speak Igbo, which is their mother tongue. Your attempts at cultural re-engineering of the Ndokis won't work also. |

OfoIgbo2: Try to read other writers, too. Baikie is not the only person who wrote something about Bonny history. The short version of Bonny history is that there are Igbo (Ngwa/Ndoki and then servile Igbo) and Ijaw elements in Bonny. The people tilt towards Ijawness and that is how they identify. Their identity within modern Nigerian ethnopolitics today is Ijaw, not Igbo. This is simple to understand. Every other thing na mental over-exercise. 1 Like 1 Share |

OfoIgbo2: There was never a Prince Chukwuma in Bonny. Try to read beyond the frontispiece. That Prince Chukwuma was from Aboh, son of Obi Ossai. Not that there were not figures in Bonny who had Igbo names (like Madu or Maduka, who was an Igbo ex-slave), but there was no Prince Chukwuma in Bonny. 1 Like |
