Why are you crying my brother embarassed
The dude can't get over the truth.
Imagine telling Igbo man that "ama-okolo" is not Igbo but Ijaw when it means Okolo settlement that he confirmed.

I asked the dude that did he bother to ask us what "ama" means in Igbo and he kept quiet.

When we told him that Ubani/Ibani is Igbo dialect, they were jumping like monkeys. He thought "ama" is peculiar to Bonny which is very naive of him.
I think he forgot that Jaja came from "Amaigbo"

BKayy, are you new to Nairaland or did you have a previous handle? Because if you are new to Nairaland, it might explain why you have the misguided notion to make this sort of statement to me. If you are not new to Nairaland, then this statement makes you look foolish. Whichever the case may be, if you’re patient enough to wait, then you’re patient enough to read through my post history here on NL. It will do the talking for me. There’s no need for me to even acknowledge any demand or request from you to furnish information. It’s already all at your fingertips.

From your screenshot, you went on to ask Google
"is Brittanica an academic source?
no, the encyclopedia Brittanica is a tertiary source. An encyclopedia reference information without any analysis and opinion, therefore it is a tertiary source"
so debates, discussions and factual findings ABOUT THE ORIGIN AND HISTORY OR ANCESTRY OF A PEOPLE SHOULD BE ACADEMICS?
Hey God ehh,

Academic sources are strictly or sparsely for educational purposes.

Is this educational?
Are we writing a project work or a thesis work?
Kai.
This mugu wanted to sound intelligent but it's unfortunate.
I think you need Google statement that it is a "tertiary source" so that we won't be going in circles.

Ok let me tell you straight, You don't use Wikipedia and Brittanica as a source in serious academic research.

For your question whether discussion about history and the rest is about Academic? Well your answer is YES.
This is the reason why there is a field called Archeology, you don't open mouth and talk rubbish because one old man that survived stroke in your area told you so like ChinenyeN normally do here.
You prove it beyond reasonable doubt

In this case we have managed to prove beyond both reasonable and unreasonable doubt that Ijaw has no single relationship with Ubani history prior to modern age.

Did you miss the part where I said that brittanica is a tertiary source?

OK let me help you understand better, that article on Britannica is a compilation of Ijaw propaganda, which Alagoa's unreviewed/unchallenged work is the main reference point.

Do you get it now? Alagoa's work was like the claiming of abandoned property after the war but unlike others that claimed material property, he claimed and bastardised a part of Igbo people's history for Ijaw gain.

From your logic, okoloama should be ama-okolo, but it is not.
Ama means settlement in many ijaw land, or place.

If "Ama" means settlement in Ijaw then there should be another Ijaw town or community with the name. Especially one that is not in contestion with another nation.

Let me help you understand. You know the word "by?" it is old Norse meaning Village/settlement and anywhere the Vikings raided and were later incorporated, they use it to rename the place like "Grimsby" in England.

This is similar to the Igbo word "ama" meaning settlement like Norse "by". So if you are saying that the Igbo word "ama" have now changed to Ijaw because we are on Nairaland and you want to claim the Igbo town of Ubani, then tell me another Ijaw village with that suffix "ama".

In Igbo we have Ama-Igbo, Ama-Enyi all meaning "quarters/settlement" of what they describe which is "Igbo" and "Enyi" (Elephant) etc.
So give me another instance/village were "ama" is used to refer to settlement in Ijaw.

you should answer the question why are we always on the news? We have never wiped out a whole village and grabbed their lands yet they are all attacking the Igbo's.
Let me tell why we are always in the news,its simple,we are the only ethnic group who are in Nigeria who does not like the country and who has the guts to say we don't want to be part of the country. For that reason they are fighting us physically and psychologically( and people like you are already defeated). We are about to stop their one Nigeria and thats why they are fighting us and writing rubbish on the pages of the news.
Do you know that some of these news emanating from india could be fake and sponsored by some people just to drive the narative that we are bad?
Understand me, the word drifts means gradually leaving the good things one is known for.we are not bad.we are not trouble makers.the activities of some of us makes it look like we are trouble makers, when we are not!

You don't even need to go into long argument. The document never said Okoloama. it read, "Okoloma".
Same Okoloma is Ndoki till today.

Samuel Crowther clearly wrote Okoloma, he did not write "Okoloama".

So, since the argument is based on the cut excerpt he is hanging on, let us go by that Okoloma name.

This is Okoloma in Ndoki.

Re: Ndigbo: Pride Goes Before A Fall by Fejoku: 5:29am On Nov 26, 2021
Ekealterego:

1. Because as in the olden days, people Igbo people identify by their towns first and the Igbo second. Till today, that is why you hear more often, Mbaise man, Ngwa man, Nsukka man. In our towns and between fellow Igbos, we identify by our names first. All non-Mbaise Igbos will call them by their name, while they call other Non-Mbasise Igbos, Igbos. However, when they refer to themselves to Non-Igbos, they simply call themselves, "Igbos". Town or Tribe identity is important in Igbo language.

2. Bonny was a corruption of the word "Ubani" or "Obani" and "ibani" They all mean the same thing in Igbo language. All the European explorers right from Barbot in 1699 acknowledged the corruption of the name in their books.

And see the relationship in trade and commerce wen Igbos were compared to other groups.

CC: Bkayy Slayerforever, Fejoku, Igboid. It was clear here that Igbos were never at any point on the same league. This account is from Johnston in the 1800s.
We were miles ahead of the Ijaws who today are insulting us. There's no single area of comparison. Not in agricultural production, wood carvings, metalsmithing (Ijaws have no single record of any metalsmithing), cloth weaving etc. Their only saving grace was the magnanimity of Ndigbo who took them as equals and related with them fairly. They were a wretched bunch until a few on them ventured into the Eastern shorelines from their ancestral creeks in Bayelsa. You will notice in all of Ijaw history, wealth is only associated with those of them that related with Igbos right from Brass and Nembe into the Kalabari and Okrika Islands. It was our industry and sadly slave trade that helped them grow the little wealth their ancestors tasted. They will only understand this when oil loses value or run dry in their areas.
The king of Brass was like a vassal to Eze Obi Ossai of Aboh. He use to pay something like a tribute to him. Most of the yams, maize and domesticated animals including palm oil they used to survive they got from us. They have no single developed industry with the exception of salt production and fishing.
