christistruth01:Anna Pepple is still Igbo house. Pepple himself is Igbo. Pepple was given the name by the English sailors because he traded in Pepper. Jugbo-Jugbo is Jaja’s Bonny name with Ndoki origin. It's was given to him at Ndoki before he was taken to Bonny. 16 Likes 1 Share |

BKayy:You’re right. New Calabar is Kalabari which was led by Amakiri (Amachree) another King with Igbo origin. Pepple, the King of Bonny got his name from Pepper. Pepper in a British journal I read online explained his Igbo origin as well as that of his People to a Journalist. The aim of this evidence to to burst the lies that Pepple went by the fraudulent Ijaw name Perekule. Bonny indigenes were the first Nigerians to live as citizens in England. King Pepple was even brought up in England and was given princely respect by the whites.

SportsHD: Our problem now is not the British colonialist; it’s these blood-sucking politicians who are so adamant in making us all suffer for their gluttony. Look at Abia state. The present ruler is inept. The two previous ones were so competent in looting all meant for the poor citizens. You see them at every high-profile birthday/wedding bash, grinning in comfort. 6 Likes |

Jaja, the Igbo man that gave the minority Ijaw savages their only known piece of historical significance, and what we get in return from the sewage rats who are immigrants from Ghana is nothing short of ingratitude. 9 Likes 1 Share |

techwaya: He doesn't own Bonny. On the contrary he was a dedicated slave to the king of Bonny who later rose to prominence. Secondly, he wasn't the only one that left Bonny to form present day Opobo. He was only lucky to have been made the first king. Today, his lineage through the supreme court have commandered the kingship to themselves which ought not to be so. 4 Likes 1 Share |

The irony, In Nigeria today an Igbo man cannot become a counselor in a Hausa/Kanuri dominated Geography, note, I did not use the north for reasons, but how the whitemen left their comfort zone , travelled thousand of miles to Africa & started expelling people from their ancestral homes just doesn’t make sense Bruv... 2 Likes 1 Share |

Igbo people always claiming everybody while everyone else denies them. If you ask the Bonny and Opobo people, they'll tell you another thing. Y'all should be contented with your 5 states in peace without having to cause a scene online na. Always famzing with people that careless about your assumed history. 11 Likes 2 Shares |
