Igboid:Always making mouth and chest beating online when in reality,you are nothing but toothless dogs. In other for you to claim people or territories,the inhabitants of those places have to be on the same page with you,how can you drag and claim Bonny and Opobo when the people there are not even buying your Igbo whatever,I pity for una. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Graysons: Bonny and Opobo people have consistently rejected your Ijaw language while tightly guarding and holding unto their native Igbo language. Your days are numbered. 8 Likes |

Igboid:Lmao always typing your fantasies online, making empty threats on Nl then pat yourselves on the back for your dumbness.Have you been to Bonny before? Do you know how the average Bonny person feel about Igbo people? Do you know the language of an finima man? No you don't. Like I said,I pity for una. 4 Likes |

Graysons: Finima is only but a small insignificant part of Bonny. We already know how the real Bonny and Opobo people feel about Ijaws. They constant and persistent rejection of Ijaw Language despite the fraudulent Alagoa best efforts, says all. 6 Likes |

Igboid:Stop mentioning this guy. This debate is over as far as I'm concerned and I've cleared your doubt.You can turn logic on its head for all I care. That map there showed were Igbos are located,in Bonny they are slaves.Do I have to teach you comprehension too? Make your head dey straight o. 1 Like |

JANK23H: Haha! Nope. Map clearly delineated Igbo land. Basden said that Igbos were slaves in the "Neighborhood of Bonny", you are the one with comprehension issue. Either way, there was never a time he said that Bonny people were Ijaws. He clearly showed where Ijawland is. And he made it obvious that Abua, Ogbia, Obulom, Epie-Attisa, Andomiy, etc are not Ijaw. 4 Likes |

Igboid:Who told you that Obulum people are not ijaws? Have you meet any Obulum who has come out to say that they are not ijaws? stop projecting the rejection given to you by the ikwerres and the Etches that they are not igbos on others, it's not our fault that they reject you Igbos and your I too know attitude. Despite you Igbos bribing and giving them top position in your Ohanaeze whatever. 4 Likes 1 Share |

IBO: Southern Nigeria - some considerations of its Structure, People and Natural History A. E. Kitson c.1913 The Geographical Journal - v.41 The Ibo tribe is potentially a very powerful one, from which much can be expected with consolidation, the spread of modern ideas and careful, strictly just direction. The people are observant, reflective thinkers, and rapid actors, with a remarkably keen and true sense of justice and determination to get it. They possess strong individuality. Like the Yorubas, they are, as a people, honest, intelligent, industrious, cleanly, hospitable, and humorous, though more emotional, artistic, and musical. They are distinctly warlike, especially the branches east of the Niger. In some districts every town is surrounded by a trench, wall, and belt of thick bush; in some cases with also an outer line of gun pits. In others each wall-girt house has its own fighting tower — storeyed and loopholed — commanding the entrance. This condition of the country reflects strongly the character of the people. As agriculturists after intelligent native methods, they are of a high order. It is a perfect picture and a revelation to see their farms when in their full wealth of verdure. There is no doubt that when settled conditions arrive the people will raise much produce for other than local markets. ... Most tribes have a love of music and a crude knowledge of art, but the Ibo stands pre-eminent, his innate musical ability manifesting itself in various ways. I have often enjoyed listening to the sweet melody, heartily sung by a group of young girls and children; to the soft chant of my garrulous carriers; to the simple but sweetly perfect dance-song of a swaying circle of women of Ebo, celebrating the killing of a crocodile; to the rhythmic, sonorous, and harmonious war-song of naked Ezzi [savages]. There are various kinds of musical instruments; among them some of the dulcimer type, but with wooden, cane, or palm plates; some like harps and rude violins; others like pipes and flutes. The Ibos and the Binis have distinct artistic ability. Many of the Ibo branches adorn their mud-walled houses, wooden doors, shrines, and playgrounds with neat modellings, paintings, and carvings of natural objects and geometrical designs. The people of the Ugep district, east of the Cross river, have fine examples of carved tree-trunks and blocks of stone. ... Though most natives trade, the principal travelling traders are Hausas and Aros by land-transport; and Lagosians, Jekris, Brass men,Opobo and Bonny Ibos, and Efiks by canoes. Iron smelting was largely done before bar-iron was imported. Yorubas still do so at Bode, Ijegun, Iporin, Odo Ogun, etc. The ore is magnetite, occurring in schists and in dykes of granite and pegmatite. A. E.

Ekealterago. Another good material here. https://www.jstor.org/stable/1778485?read-now=1&refreqid=excelsior%3Af5f1e99ce420241777bf54f7579fd5d7&seq=31#page_scan_tab_contents I marked the relevant part. "Opobo and Bonny Ibos". Yet another independent author Ijaws are going to hate in addition to Basden, Captain Crow, William Baike, Arthur Glynn, we now have A.E Kitson. The list will keep growing because we have the truth on our side. 3 Likes

Igboid:Yes, I have the Darker book Darker, G. F. (1905). Niger Delta Natives: With Special Reference to Maintaining and Increasing the Population of Southern Nigeria. Journal of the Royal African Society, 4(14), 206–225. http://www.jstor.org/stable/714818 The link is at the end. A similar description of Jekiri (Itshekiri) Check out the highlights on Opobo. He clearly without doubt named Opobo, Ibo, even with live pictures to legitimise his claims. CC: Bkayy, Slayerforever, Eastlink, Eastibae, Ofoigbo, 9pluto.

JANK23H: But Basden also provided us with a map to clearly show what he meant by neighborhood of Bonny. In that map, Bonny was solidly within Igboland. This means he was referring people to certain territories, not in Bonny, but near Bonny 4 Likes |

Igboid: It's a good thing he wrote this stuff in 1913, before Nigeria came into existence. If he wrote this a year later, it would have been inadmissible in our current argument. Please Ijaw landgrabbers should pay attention to this. Only provide eviidence written by neutral observers and before Nigeria came into existence 4 Likes |

Igboid:Dead this stupid outdated fallacy. The earth was believed to be flat some 2600 years ago, but it turned out the earth is spherical. And I saw Igboid long stupid rant on punitive whatever. He keeps believing people still hold on to that old believe that everyone who was down south was igbo, same as we all who were down here in the south believed that everyone up north was Hausa. People back then in the third world country use to think Japan, Korea, and the entire east Asia where Chinese because of their thin eyes. The world is now informed, stop holding on to fallacious reports from white men who didn't know what west Africa was like. Thanks to satellite maps are now more accurate, thanks to knowledge people now know the world is spherical and not flat. You claiming the south to be Igbo is like humans saying the earth is flat. It reeks of stupidity, backwardness, ignorance and daftness. Ekealterego SlayerForever Igboid eastisbae Eastlink and all other clowns, get it into your heads. |

You want to take this outdated false documents that was thought real at the time but finally found to be wrong and as a result of its inacurracy has been weeded from major libraries in the world? Who wants to end Nigeria? You? Funny thing is you people don't know Nigeria is what helps you. Investments, Space or territories to explore etc. If you seek your independence, you'd be landlocked like Lesotho.
