All we need now is for Rivers state government to quickly finish the Port Harcourt Bonny road so people can start tripping to Bonny beach like peeps do in Lagos. Bonny then would be the Lekki of Rivers State.

That is not right. Many opobo and bonny indigenes descended from the numerous igbo slaves that would have been sold into slave trade, that later settled there. That accounts for the dominancy of the igbo language there. Without doubt, yes you do have ijaw blood but then denying your igbo heritage just because igbo denial is common in rivers state is another thing entirely. It would be better to state that both places are mixed. And your Igbo dialect which all of you speak is 'not just a language of communication', its very much alive within you guys, and most of you esp in opobo dont even speak the ibani again. Why not use ibani instead? The only native language your parents know how to speak is igbo and nothing else, and yet its denigrated to a status of 'just for communication?' Many opobo people have been asked why they dont speak ibani and their reply is always in igbo 'nne m ezi m, nna m ezi m' (my mother didnt teach me, my father didnt teach me). Its always good to speak the truth.

Look ! Blacks, Indians, Chinese and even Germans who are citizens of Britain all claim English. So I beg make una leave this Igbo and not Igbo thing. Bonny and Opobo are Ijaw towns and yes we have Igbos among us. I also have Igbo heritage but I am Ijaw . Just appreciate the beauty of the place and when the time comes please go and enjoy your self too in Bonny and also invest in Bonny.

Ethnicity is often assumed to be the cultural identity of a group, often based on language and tradition, so if you pay more attention to interview of the king on that video you will understand that they have never denied of being Igbo.

so which one is your business here?
