How do you reconcile the fact that an immigrant language became the indigenous/native language in Opobo, making it the first of such incidence on the Gulf of Guinea. ?

The elephant tusk is very important in Opobo especially in coronation of king. This is obtainable in other Igbo societies. The marriage customs & funerals in Opobo are largely the same in other Igbo villages. Amayanabo is interpreted as "ama onyen'bu" meaning a town of two kings.

Weda u be Igbo blood or Ijaw blood e no concern me. Igbo language is the mother tongue in Opobo, thus governor Simi who is a titled man from Opobo is within his right to speak his language.

Ibime:

Igbos were a collection of unrelated Republican villages without a consolidated Government and war structure until the British labelled all these villages as Eboe, giving them an identity. This lack of organisation is a reason why the Igbos were preyed upon by organised Kingdoms like the Ijaws, Ibibios, Benins and Oyos and why they form the majority of slave blood in the Americas today. The Igbos are the biggest victims of slavery and that speaks to their lack of organised Kingdoms. Only the Arochukwu were organised within the Igbo and they preyed on the Igbo massively. They never saw themselves as fellow Igbos till the British gave them identity. So Igbo cannot be claiming ownership of established and powerful Kingdoms in 2023 when they have no history of establishing such Kingdoms.

Fake news spotted!

Nwaotam is an Igbo masquerade which has it origin from Ndoki.

Igbo language is the mother tongue in Opobo.
Azumini, Ohambele, Afam, Akwete, Akirika-Obu are all Ndoki clan. Akwete, an Ndoki clan is the heritage site of Igbo traditional cloth weaving.

Soludo is their biggest promoter cox since he took over as gov na Akwete made fabric he dey wear. Davido's paternal grandmother Chief Nnenna Esther Adeleke is from Akwete.


In SS, the Ndoki people can be found in Ikanafun LGA i.e Akwa-Ibom state & Obigbo LGA i.e Rivers state.

A40:
Not surprising. To his credit he has accepted fair and square. Another popular celebrity president with underwhelming performance.

DissTroy:


There are no Ndoki people in Ukanafun LGA in Akwa Ibom. The Ukanafuns are even more Ibibiod than the Etim Ekpos.

The border area of Azumini and surrounding areas in Etim Ekpo LGA are contested but speak Igbo as well as the Ibibio language. The Abia State part speak the Ibibio language too.

They aren't Ndoki people.

Forget the shit on Wikipedia. The same Wikipedia claims it's Aba Women Riot meanwhile the 1929 Women Massacre (it wasn't just a riot) happened at Ikot Abasi, Akwa Ibom, close to Lugard House right on the Ocean and has a Women War Memorial built on the site of the massacre.

meanwhile the other day i was talking about how cassie must have had some bombass pzzy to lock down puffy for 10 years

i find the story hard to believe sha. these things are a pattern and i dont recall hearing/reading anything about puffy and sexual violence or grooming

if bill clinton and monica had not been outed then - today she might also be accusing him of rape and abuse.

Aba women's riot is one of the major misnomers in Naija history. It had nothing to do with Aba. I was surprised when I read the details

Simi is from Opobo, has a chieftancy title in Opobo. Opobo is one of the Igbo tribes in Rivers state. Igbo language is the native language/mother tongue in Opobo. Abi u wan make he dey speak Japanese?

LOL. You'd hear names like "Okoro" in Akwa Ibom parts of border communities and "Okon" in Abia parts of communities.

Happens a lot in some border areas. Some Ogoni villages speak and understand Ibibio, just like some Opobo parts do. But I'd be overreaching to refer to them as Ibibios or Ibibio communities.

States were not properly divided.

If you're from Arochukwu in Abia State, you have more in come with me (an Ibibio man)/ ancestry-wise than an Enugu man. But that's not for today.

The first time I read the news I knew it was all about the Benjamins ! The lady even though was way younger than Diddy when they were getting along doing all the shiii was an adult . She consented and some instances made herself available as an accessory / accomplice in the crimes she wants Diddy tried for .

She just want to use the knowledge she has about his activities to make money for herself and her household . She saw herself as a walking hard disk with so many incriminating evidences of Diddy's "other businesses " and she monetized herself

Ethnicity is not an artificial construct. It is built on ancenstral origin & wooven together by shared dialect of a common language.

How asawana(ijaw) people want to claim Opobo when they cannot communicate with a native of Opobo in their native language? who be una history teacher sef? Simi is speaking clean & clear Igbo language which is the mother tongue in Opobo. Yet u say Igbo people dey claim Opobo.. u be ode.

So Diddy done finally free these niggas? Guy is running where nobody is chasing him

Lool naah that guy is evil.

Look at all of Jay Z's proteges Ye, Rihanna, Cole, Rick Ross, to a lesser extent Jeezy

Compare them to Diddy's
Almost all of them busted and disgusted or dead. Only ones doing ok is Mase who recently hooked up with Camron and they have the best podcast out there now and then Lox that was able to escape from him hand quickly

See Shyne that one get luck say him papa na big boy politican. Omolomo go back Belize turn politician

They don't acknowledge themselves as igbos...so allow them to live their lives...and also call them out when they try to disguise as your own for their own advantage.

The Opobo people were founded by King Jaja who hailed from present day Imo state. The ruling family in Opobo also identify as Igbo. Dis one no be Ilorin where they banned Isese festival.

You are from AKS yet you don't know that Oha Obu is an ndoki community in ukanafun LGA. No history student will take u serious.

DissTroy:


Wrong. Jaja didn't found Opobo. Opobo was already a defined fishing port and trading area, even when Jaja was a slave. He rose through the ranks of earn rights through valour and wealth.

This attempt to whitewash history is no different from historians who claim Mungo Park discovered an existing River Niger which had trade routes and established communities for over a thousand years.
