AniOmaa:
Another load of gibberish,

On the Ned Nwoko part, this is a link to an interview he did with BBC Igbo and he strongly embraced his Igbo roots. The Asagba of Asaba has never denied his Igboness as well so you have absolutely no point.

I see you to be a researcher too.
Find the works with the reference and citations.
I also showed you screenshot on the groupings.
Go back up again and visit them, I ain't entertaining you tonight.
And the things i have known and read even as a 10 year old child will not be known or covered by you even when you get to 40.
You're not on my level.
When the crow climbs on the eagles back, the eagle ignores it but simply flies high beyond the cloud and the crow falls off from it's back because of lack of oxygen.
Goodnight...

Ekealterego:
Why are you crying? You were boastful about how good you were at keeping slaves , then when your lies were bursted you switched because you did not like the way you were being described by the people you claimed you were in slave business with?
About suicide, of course, in our philosophy, we bow to no man.

About Suicide, I think it was your ancestor's speciality.

For Igbos, we chose death rather than slavery, we bow only to our chi, while Ijo committed suicide for simple things like lack of ogogoro or criticism from a wife.

Funny enough, I lived most of my life in the east, I schooled in the east, infact I am currently staying in the east right now as I type. I hear the Igbo Language extremely clear and that poo up there only talks about he carrying slaves across the Atlantic and he is reputed for that and I don't see anything else written.
Ijo doctored media from Sigismund Koelle (1845)
John Clarke (1848)
Kay Williamson (1960s)
Crowther and pepple(1800s)
Merrick(1840s)
Sir Edwin Norris (1840s)
William Balfour baikie (1840s)
Gerrit Dimmendaal (1990s)
Dr Köler (1800s)
Williamson and Blench (2000)

All of these people are scholars and linguists who aren't even from Nigeria not to mention ijo.
Lol.
I hope you sleep tonight.
Keep crying....

Alabo7978:
Lol, many people in Nigeria do not get to practice what they read in school, I also have another degree in industrial relation and personal management but that doesn't mean the school and courses didn't pass through me.
Like I said, quit bringing up obsolete, weeded and discarded materials.
Sorry no offense, how old are you?
Didn't you write a project work in your first degree?
Did you reference wrong materials or outdated ones that years ago were thought to be true, but aren't true later on.
I can't keep spoon feeding you, I'm not your lecturer, it took me days out of my busy schedule to write that article, and I cited and referenced linguists, scholars, researchers, missionaries both from centuries ago and modern times.
But to clear your delusion, below are bibliographies and references and comparative vocabulary classification coupled with Williamson and Blench finals classification in 2000.
You can also call your deluded comrades to come and view.
I can't waste my time to show you everything but check on those references and go and update yourself so you will stop your online propaganda which only ends here, but I'm schooling you so you will stop deceiving Bonny people in diaspora who probably has never visited their ancestral home. Bro this is a serious crime, you could be jailed for it.

King Jaja of Opobo (full name: Jubo Jubofem; 1821–1891) was an Igbo merchant prince and the founder of Opobo city-state in an area that is now the Rivers State of Nigeria. Born in Umuduruoha Amaigbo in present day Imo State, he was taken to Bonny by slave raiders as a youth.[2][3] Jumo Jumofem later took the name "Jaja".
Jaja earned his way out of slavery and rose to head the Anna Pepple House merchant faction of Bonny Island. Under him, Anna Pepple absorbed other trade houses until a dispute with the Manilla Pepple House led by Oko Jumbo compelled Jaja to break away to form the Opobo city-state (26 miles east of Bonny) in 1869.

Opobo came to dominate the region's palm oil trade, and controlled fourteen of what were formerly Bonny's eighteen trade houses. Jaja blocked the access of British merchants to the interior effectively monopolizing trade; Opobo also shipped palm oil directly to Liverpool, independent of British middlemen.

At the 1884 Berlin Conference the Europeans designated Opobo as British territory. When Jaja refused to cease taxing the British traders, Henry Hamilton Johnston, a British vice consul, invited Jaja for negotiations in 1887. Jaja was arrested on arrival aboard a British vessel; he was tried in Accra in the Gold Coast (now Ghana) then exiled, first to London, and later to Saint Vincent and Barbados in the British West Indies.[4][5]

In 1891, Jaja was granted permission to return to Opobo, but died en route.[6] Following his exile and death, the power of the Opobo state rapidly declined.

I wonder why reputable information sources don't reference Hugh Crow, I can't keep posting books here all the time, it's tedious.
I referenced and cited and even quoted people I mentioned but your only concern is a slave merchant who barely comes pass the shores and only interviewed slaves.
Brother man I have a degree in library and information science, and when a material or book or information source has been found to be incorrect, it is weeded out of major shelves and removed or uncited as a reliable account or information material.
Go and also read about the ijoid grouping by Williamson and Blench.
I referenced and cited researchers, scholars and the year.
Also search the book ; 'polyglotta Africana' by Sigismund Koelle.
I referenced atleast 8 researchers, scholars and linguists who's work put to death the memoirs of a slave ship marauder.
And those researchers works are what you find in encyclopedia Brittanica, Wikipedia, and on-line information repositories world wide.

Stop getting hard on fake, weeded information.

justtoodark:
wat....??

ojukwu was sayin something similar back then too....

justtoodark:
you igbos are not the saviours of the black race....!!
no black begged una to be saved in the entire africa....!!
give this ignorance up already....!!

JANK23H:
Lol....clutching at straws.

You only hope.

Alabo7978:
This is the same captain crow's work I wrote about.
The misconception is too much and was greatly flawed because the first expedition only collected IBO words.
Edwin Norris, balkie, Merrick, John Clarke, in the second expedition began collecting other vocabularies from other dialect.
Crowther also did same too
Sigimund koeller a German scholar also did that too while he interviewed freed men in SIERRA LEONE and it was came to be known that the ijo Language indeed had branches.
Further linguist such as Paul blair, Williamson in the early 20th century, Gerrit Dimmendaal, flench, jenewari in the 21st century also studied the linguas and they all concluded it under the ijoid branch.
Captain Hugh crow's work was a misconception, that is why you won't find it in any reputable information site (quoted or cited)
Because it has been weeded and discarded from major libraries.
However it is only kept in online journals because it is a journal.
It was after the second and third expedition, that crowther took this document I shall attach to be sent to Britain
Please read and understand the document carefully.
And when you're done, quit reference obsolete and fallacious information that is misleading and has been weeded from major libraries in the world.

BKayy:
You only posted Crowther's letter that has nothing to do with you JO-MEN .

1st pic = Hugh Crow
2nd Pic = Baike
3rd Pic = How Bonny People saw Jo men aka Ijaw people. They called you savage pirates "Ejo"

Anonymous15:
With your logic, show us in enugu, owerri, umuahia ancient history where Igbo was mentioned.
Stop speaking like someone who knows nothing.
During those days when people migrate, they do not call themselves the name of the place they migrate from, they simply name the town after their leader or something else symbolic,
Leave the connection to oral history of the people or atleast leave it to linguist to ascertain the kind or the type of Language spoke.
You claim ibos were the mode of dressing, even the hat and the wrapper reeks of the ijo dressing.
Where is your ishi agu?
Where is your red cap?
Why do they answer AMAYANABO instead of obi or eze or igwe?
Linguist and scholars such as Gerrit Dimmendaal Williamson flench jenewari Paul-hair, Sigimund koeller, balkie etc have grouped the Languages but you're here showing ignorance.

The article revealed Perekule made some igbos chief(I agree) but those chiefs are lesser Chief's compared to the Duawari houses of chiefs who were the older ancestral houses.
that is why no one from the Igbo houses can be king because the igbos there are descended from slaves.

Mr Man there is the ijoid branch of Language and every intelligent person know of it.

Like the post says
"Misconception of the hinterland Ibos"
The post isn't for Bonny people because they know their history.

Your points and deception will only deceive people in diaspora and few gullible hinterlanders.
I am very sure you and your cohorts haven't been to Bonny before, go and enquire, and when next you quote me, quote me with a linguist.

BlackSaints:
You can't know my people history more than me Igbo man,that is something that will never happen!

BlackSaints:
Listen to me like you have never listen to anybody in your miserable life before,there are no igbos in Wakirike. The Okujagu you mention has never for once come out to say they are related to anything igbo or are igbos,so I don't understand where you get this your crapola from.
Stay far away from my people and leave us out of your madness. Wakirike is 100 an ijaw clan.

BKayy:
Well you once said that A Scottish man by the name "John Wedderburn" was "Ijo Wedder" so I will be dammed if I take you serious.

You are on one of your normal routine mental disorders where you confuse things.

"Ijo and Ijaw Welders" hahahaha

Allen102:
He said new road, Borokiri, old town ( Lagos bus stop) Station, slaughter is an insignificant landmass. Okrika people don suffer sha

BlackSaints:
Mr man are you Ok? Okrika is not what? Infact who gives you the right to decide what my people are or not? Listen and listen very carefully,Okrika is an ijaw clan we don't have any identity crisis. So whatever is going on with you, make sure you leave us out of it!

Igboid:
The section of PH Ijaw are claiming are not even Ijoid.
They are an Ibibiod language speakers called Obulom Language. Their clan is called Abuloma!
They maintained their original Ibibiod language.
In due time, they would be strategically separated from the trouble causing Bayelsans.

BKayy:
LOL. Sold who? Is that a way to override the fact that you worshipped us?
Audio Selling. Read the attached shot.

Even till date, with circumstances being normal and no interference (British Busy body that stopped the normal Worship), Jo men will still Worship Ndigbo again.

You inferior beings that worth nothing.

SaintBishop:
Okrika is not what? Bloody land grabbing Igbo criminal looking for land to grab like your pathetic ancestors! There's nothing like igweocha you dunce, there's no history record where the Ikwerres name their own part of Port Harcourt Igweocha neither does the Okrikans,and these two groups are the owners of Port Harcourt. So where did you lost souls get this fraud you call Igweocha from?
You build what? LMAO the East is the shit hole of all shitholes that's why you Igbo savages are all running away from it like a plague.
Btw, how come people who their language falls under the ijo groups are not ijaw? Stop talking drugs Okoro.

BKayy:
So the white people that documented it in the 19th century are now IPOB abi?

Inferior brings that worshipped Arochukwu People.

The only reason you people are lurking around Bonny is to be close to your Gods (Arochukwu People). Maybe because the part of Ikwerre that has significant Aro blood (Isiokpo) is close by.

Inferior pirates.

SaintBishop:
Have you fixed your hell hole the slum capital of the world Abia state? How dare you a Igbo man who is a leech and a burden to everyone, who keeps running away from your backwards, undeveloped, red mud enclave, that you savages can't stay, open your Okoro mouths to talk about development? Do you even know the meaning of development? Is there any area that is develop in that hell fire South east?
Speaking of poverty,the south East is the poverty capital of Nigeria, that's why your women are all in baby factories doing what they know how to do best. Talking of Port Harcourt, half of Port Harcourt is owned the Okrikans who are ijaws,and the other half is owned by the ikwerres who are from Benin so we have every right to focus on Port Harcourt, unlike you clowns who keeps eyeing on Port Harcourt instead of your miserable sad east.

DubaiLandLord1:
okay!

But you all said Yenagoa is not Ijaw land
