Is this the reason why Igbos are unleashing terror in Imo state.

It is clear most people from Imo are mentally unstable.

Always obsessed with others and how they do their thing. No wonder the state looks like dump site.

Because the citizens are chasing imaginary shadows.

I have evidence to prove that even Jonathan is Igbo. Most Igbo leaders were aware of this but the part of Bayelsa he's from is 100% Igbo and other Bayelsans call them Igbo. The Ebele in his name was not a result of his father being an unknown Igbo man (which also makes him Igbo). Its also his mother's language. If you understand this you'll understand why the SE voted for GEJ more than the SS.

Unless someone can tell you the meaning of Jonathan's village OTUOKE in 'Ijaw'

That father Christmas like type of cap is what Ibibiod and Igboid people share in common, anywhere you see that cap down south, note that there is an Ibibiod or Igboid speakers/influence there.

Ogbia speak an Ibibiod language. So you can now appreciate that cap well and stop mistaking it for them being remotely Igboid.

The big issue with Nigerians and these types of conversations is they don't know geography. What is the connection between Ibibio and this geographical area (Ogbia) I'm referencing? What is the meaning of Ogbia in 'Ibibiod'?

Did you know that you can walk from Ogbia (pronounced Obia btw) to Igboland (proper)? Or do you think Nigerian state boarders were made by God?
And have you ever told an Ibibio man he's Ijaw? lol Ibibio that is 4x the size of Ijaw.

Ogbia language is an Ibibiod language (Cross River) language.

The link is obvious!

Andoni(Ibibiod) to Abureni (Bayelsa) to Ogbia.

Here is list of Ogbia words.
How is it Igbo?

I can see few Igbo loan words like Ónu for Mouth, Akpa for Bag, Ilu for proverb.
But that's just all there is about.
Everything else is divergent.
The number system and names of basic things.

You have to be like Ijaw expansionists to claim that Ogbia is Igbo, because that language I'm seeing there is by no means Igbo.

I think Op is sounding biased.
He wants to ridicule Ijaw with this post.
Where is the Wikipedia source.
To the best of my knowledge.
Apart from Yenegoa and Ogbia LGAs made of Epie/Attisa and Ogbia ethnic group respectively.
The rest are Ijaws, even though there still exist many other subgroups of Ijaw dialects like the Nembe where Timipre Sylva, the former governor and current minister of State for petroleum hails from and Brass
Note Goodluck Jonathan is an Ogbia man by tribe, though all of them adopted Ijaw being the majority and politically most influential for Sociopolitical consolidation.
Ijaw also have Bomadi and Patani LGAs in Delta state.
Note that Dipreye Alamiyeseigha was Ijaw while his deputy Goodluck Jonathan was Ogbia, a minority.
I have listened to Epie people speak, the language have the "vwe" sound similar to the language of Isoko, Urhobo, Bini, Edo, Esan and Tiv people.
A times the name of the the author of the New School Chemistry from Ghana Osei Yaw Ababio sounds like Ijaw name, don't know why

No one is ridiculing anyone.
Abureni is not Ijaw and they are in Brass LGA.

Biseni is a mixture of Ndoni and Ijaw. Language is Ijoid, but with non Ijaw flavor because of the Igbo component there.
Many Biseni people bear Ndoni (Igboid) names.
