Oga who is a Rivers person then? Since everyone at a point in time migrated. You migrated in 1650 and I migrated in 2021, we all came from somewhere, once I'm able to get a land as you did or do, we can all claim Rivers.

Are Fulani people indigenous to Umuahia?

That is where once again you lose your way making the same error

The term Germanic language has nothing to do with Germany as we know it today.
The people we know as English today are of diverse origins Roman, Celtic , Germanic( anglo-Saxon), Britons Nordic etc
There is no German Adam or Eve
All this talk about ancestry is nonsense
No one knows anything about human ancestry. Humans have been on this planet for millions of years .




Oga stop confusing yourself, I didn't refer to them as Germany (country) I called them Germans because they are all Germans historically.
Whatever you call it, whether Igbo or Igboid doesn't matter, the point is we all came from the same immediate family with the South South tribes (Igbo looking dialect) than they came from Benin... Because the Benin ancestry claim of these large southern tribes including Onitcha is outrightly ridiculous. They copied the system of government full stop.

Is Rivers a tribe? I be born and bred Port Harcourt boy. Did I claim ikwerre? I can claim Rivers or Port Harcourt because they're not tribes.

So wetn concern fulani, indigenous and Umuahia? Mind you Umuahia is a very big tribe in Abia state with their own dialect.

You people are very wicked. That is why there is so much suffering in that contraption called Nigeria. Because Burna Boy is from Igbo speaking Rivers state, your hatred for the Igbo would not allow you to accept that very fact. Keep assigning him another obscure tribe.[img] https://www.google.com/amp/s/businessday.ng/arts-and-life/article/why-we-gave-burna-boy-rivers-2nd-highest-award-choice-land-wike/amp/ [/img]

Idiots everywhere!!!
I don't normally respond to people that descend to name calling inorder to make their points but I'll indulge you;

There's nowhere in the link that you provided that mentioned that Burna Boy is from Igbo speaking part of Rivers State.
Burna is from Ahoada West LGA, Mbiama precisely and they're not Igbo speaking neither are they Igboid. The Mbiamans and JKs are Enginis by clan, so don't argue over what you know little or nothing about.
Shalom.

Just so you know, before the Vikings, Romans etc appeared, the Anglo Saxons were already established, cities like Wessex and Mercia already had Kings. 80 percent of the modern white English men are of the Anglo Saxons.

Umuahia is the capital of Abia state. Umuahia has hosting Fulani even before Nigeria existed. Is Umuahia a Fulani community?

Neither is Umuahia a tribe!

There are ethnic nations who are indigenous to the area called Port Harcourt today.

Thanks for the correction thought I saw mbaise. However, Umuahia is still an Igbo tribe with its own distinct dialect. Even a toddler would know there's no connection between the Umuahia people and the Fulani they host historically, no resemblance in body features, art, music, culture, language, norms and traditions, gods they worship etc even though they stay in the same land, can you say the same for the so-called original Igbos and the also so-called Igboid southern tribes? They share the same religious beliefs, same market days, same music, art, language, gods, same names etc, we can't just push all this away because of a copied system of rule. Think brother, think!

The Ogba man, Ekpeye man and the Ihnurnohna man all claimed they came together from Benin to settle in their present settlements.
All Ogbas see Ikwerre people as brothers. I will not talk about them when they see themselves as Igbos.

Am yet to see an ogba man
Who said he is not Igbo
The are not like you guys ikwerre
So stay off
Am between no one mentioned ikwerre in this thread
Neither was there any ikwerre name mentioned
So dey your day
Nd stop poking nosing, after all aside River state
No one Else knows ikwerre,so stay off
I personally hate it when any ikwerre man claims igbo or speaks in an Igbo affairs (it angers me) it should be an offence punishable by death (by hanging) cos the aren't worthy for such title, so dayur dey
Leave other Igbos in Rivers alone and stop doing attache by force

You were the one who mentioned Ikwerre. I only asked if you people also want to lay claim to Ogba. Is that too much to ask or respond to?

Read about the history of the Ogba or Irashi Kingdom.
They are migrants from Benin Kingdom, why the name.

Yes you're right Anglo Saxons appeared after the Roman soldiers(no significant civilian population), but ended up sacking all the Roman protection and took over the Brits Lands. This however doesn't change the fact that the Majority of modern English men are Germanic and developed the English language based on the former Germanic home languages. This same is true for our southern Igboid tribes. Exactly the whole point of English and German comparison

It is the poster that is making the mistake, he is not Oba, he is Eze Ogba, Eze and not Oba.

Please research on your own. And stop thinking Igbos are only indigenous in just the five south east states.

That's the problem most Yorubas have. Even with Google, some people just swore to be close minded.

Your knowledge of Igbo word is limit...Oba Ji.

Oba in Igbo also means someone influential and weathy...a man of influence.

I remember when small we use the word..that guy buzikwa Oba ooo.

The context and usage of Igbo I think is limited in your axis.

when Benin told you ppo that their are lots of their migrants in rivers you ppo choose to cause confusion


research b4 saying trash


ogba land have been like this for centuries though the public way of life have change, the monarchy still remain the same

please ask yourself why would the king choose Benin system over Igbo if he had nothing to do with Benin
Ask youself too why he choose a full igbonames instead of benin? A person's name transcends any other identity.

.You dnt know igbo more than i do. The word oba is a conjuction word for alot of things. You can say oba ji(yam barn), oba ede(cocoyam barn), oba ego(bank) and many things i can be used in. So basically, its also an word.What you should be arguing is that its not a title/Igbo name for a king. Nwanne, udo!

Re: Oba Of Ogbaland Nnam Chukwumela Dies At 80 by Igboid: 4:27pm On Apr 30, 2021
Well,the last Ogba man who identified as Igbo is late.
His name was Ogbuehi Francis Ellah, the Ezeogba of Ogbaland.
He was the last Ogba man who proudly identified as Igbo post civil war, as identity crisis fueled by Nigerian crude oil politics engulfed Ogbaland. Francis Ella was a king in Ogbaland but because he refused to denounce his Igbo allegiance and toe the Identity Crisis that trouble Igboid clans, he became an enemy to many of his people who bought the Igbophobic Agenda of FG post civil war.


What is also true today is that the average Ogba man is rabidly Igbophobic, even more than the Ikwerre man.
It is also true that they also have the irrational Bini origin story which they have taken to madness level when Nnamobi Chukwumela the recently late Eze Ogba changed his title to Oba of Ogba.

I would advise any Igbo person to stay clear of Ogba issues.
Those people are Igbophobic and not worth your tears or time. They are not one of us, if you understand what I mean.

We have three Igbo clans in Rivers State. Two (Ndoki and Asa) are found in Oyigbo LGA , while 1(Egbema) are found in ONELGA.

You can read about Ogbuehi Francis Ellah here:https://nigeriaworld.com/articles/2008/apr/282.html

I bet the Ellah family in Ogba are still pro Igbo, but times have changed and they have to keep a low profile in an increasingly Igbophobic Ogbaland.

And since when did Obi become the title for Ibo Kings.
