EGBE-AMA also called IGBE-AMA...means landed town...
for instance u travel through sea and finally come landed...

egbe-ama also has other two three meanings in Ijaw language

Your Izon is pure. I'm from Mein Clan

spearman:
I be Fulani now, yesterday I be Yarriba, tomorrow I go be Ijaw to una. Igbo! Receive sense.

Don't mind the fools

[quote author=EdoDefence post=102580526][/quote]He is trying so hard to pitch an ethnic war among us with cheap propaganda.

Chinemeremjosh0:
then does it mean that we don't have Igbo speaking tribe over there! Stop behaving like Cowhari

Over where? Why are you people living in self-denial?

Iceman2017:
What of the rest?

Is that your problem? Do you understand and speaks all Igbo dialects?

HarryDuce:
Lol. It seems you have your mind made up already. A few things to note:

•We have the western and eastern Apoi. The former in Ondo state and the later in Bayelsa state. The name of their clans are solely Ijoid. Them speaking Yoruba can be likened to the situation in Bonny and Opobo.

•Nobody claims Ofoni people are Ijaws.

•Izon is not understood by the average Rivers man. Only a few persons (mostly senior citizens) can grab some words and phrases but i still stand by my assertion that the languages are similar.

• Kalabari in Rivers state is like the central Ijoid dialect in the state in the Same vein, Izon is the central Ijoid dialect in Bayelsa and Delta. Okrika and Ibani people are not the only ones who understand the Kalabari language. From Nembe to Engenni. People understand it more than you think they do. I'm pretty sure other languages have dialectical differences as well; they can go from intelligible to almost a different language entirely. It's not unique to Ijaw.

•Speaking of Engenni. They consider themselves Ijaw just as much as the Degema people consider themselves a distinct tribe.

•Ogbia is an exception. Their language is entirely different.

•Since there's no written history of these areas, it's hard to substantiate claims. If Ndoki people have an Ijaw (Ibani) history, It's left the indigenes (especially senior citizens) to corroborate any claim.

So much love your contribution on the discourse. You and HopeAthand. You guys are wonderful!

AdakaBoro8:
only if you agreed that NDR referendum will also be conducted in the south east... its 50 50

yes ooh. Ndoki in Abia n Egbema in Imo should be allowed to determine their fate.

rottennaija:
I don't need to understand him. He believes he has the perfect answer, that he understands the struggle more than anymore and that anyone who isn't looking at things his way, is enslaved. That's the attitude that causes people to become terrorist, fighting a holy war.

u re right

rottennaija:
All these just to support his contraption called biafra? This is why you will never have biafra

you don't understand him

FreeIgbos:
My dear, stop being emotional and petty and face the truth, even though it hurts. The Igbos are not begging you to patronize them, do you even have choice

You left you far away south-easts to come and do business in my land in order to advance your socio-economic life and you're asking me who am I to you. See the way we confiscated most of your properties after the civil war? . It shows who the boss is. Keep endagering the Igbos outside the south-east with your poor minds. E go red for una again.

FreeIgbos:
Lol, you're already erasing their identity?
So Obigbo, Asaba, Etche, Asa (half of them are still in Abia), Ndoki, Egbema (half of them are still in Imo State), Isobo, Igbanke etc and several others in Niger Delta are no longer Igbos?

The name of Delta State governor is Ifeanyi, he speaks Igbo and practices Igbo culture and traditions just like the Enugu State governor who is Ifeanyi and does all these too!

Why are you guys decieving yourselves??

Practices Igbo Culture? Davido's Son with Chioma is answering Ifeanyi. Does that make him Igbo? What is the meaning of Okowa then? I always tell you the influence of Igbo culture (names) among Niger Delta nationalities is as result of slavery. We enslaved so many Igbos from Imo and Abia particularly, and took some of their girls and women as wives and concubines. The result of this is the moderate influence of Igbo culture among this ethnicities. However, they cannot be classified as Igbo in literal sense. Get that into your head.

FreeIgbos:
Lol, these are banters that happen everywhere, at least we all speak one language, have same culture and traditions, and are hardworking progressives! Have you seen us burning down houses, fighting and killing each other like you guys do in Warri, Gelegele etc?

What sort of nation are you going to have where ateke Tom, boyloaf, tompolo, asari dokubo and other ijaw militants will be the ones calling the shots and ordering others around? Can say Uhrobo, Bini, or Ibibio man be president without these jobless militants harrasing them endlessly?

I can bet a million naira that the 6 SS states will never transform into a nation. It will experience worse crises than South Sudan and the other minorities would be foolish not to know that. Ijaw can have their nation with Rivers and Bayelsa, Akwa-Cross will have theirs too. Anything else will be Armageddon

Why are you so concern? Is this act of desperation not too much? You're indirecting demarketing the Igbo nationality with these rhetorics. You know very well that the population of south-easterners in Niger Delta advancing their socio-economic development far exceeds the Niger Deltans in south-east for the same reason. With this antics, you think I'll still find joy in patronizing your Igbo brother who owns a provision shop in my street as against the non-igbo shop owner? You are unnecessarily attracting more contempt for the Igbos directly and this would further put your race in jeopardy

You always here them calling for referendum for the people in the region to decide their fate because they have rigging machineries to do the dirty work. Igbos are globally known to be fraudlent and morally corrupt. They're capable of doing anything thing to advance their selfish interest. The call for Biafra referendum on the people of Delta and Rivers by someone from far away South-East alone shows the act of desperation. My Brother, if Igbo affiliated ethnic nationalities in the Niger Delta wishes to identify with the Biafra cause, believe me, a referendum won't be needed. I know my Anioma, Ndokwa people in Delta state, if they wish to join Biafra nobody can stop them and a referendum won't be needed to ensure that. Thus, I'm submitting that you can't come from Imo, Anambra, Abia, Enugu or Ebonyi to demand referendum in Niger Delta. You must be delusional.

FreeIgbos:
At the first part in bold, between those calling for referendum and those forcefully speaking for others and claiming "we Niger Delta" who is landgrabbing? We Igbos insist on referendum because we have nothing to fear nor hide but that word referendum scares the hell out of you guys because you know what the outcome will be. Aside ikwerre, majority of Igboid groups in SS accept their Igbo tag, from Obigbo to Asaba and the rest, so forget.

At the second bold, maybe you need to go back to school. Azumiri in Abia State is closer to the Atlantic ocean than P.H and you think we won't build our Port there? That blue river empties directly into the ocean!

Akpabio has been facing harrasments because militants of ijaw extraction think that Niger Delta belongs to them even when facts on ground has proven that Akwa Ibom produces more crude oil than any other state! That's how you ijaws will be harrasing others anyhow.

You're a fool. NDDC is an act of the law. The Niger Deltan Stakeholders only requested for the board to be instituted as mandated by the Law. How is that difficult to understand? Why are you Igbos so sentimental that truth and justice becomes second consideration to you? Are you naturally shameless? Pitching other nationalities against the Ijaws will never work. Spits! Landlocked slaves of Biafra. The army keep killing your able-bodied every now and then, yet you're worried about the Niger Delta

FreeIgbos:
Look at this hate filled gibberish of lies and slander targeting same Igbos they want to forcefully drag into their Babel republic You claim Igbos are evil so why do you want to force them into your Babel republic? Why not allow them to chose through referendum? Why speak for them?

You're the one who doesn't want to face the truth, no Igbo ethnic group with foresight would want to join the yorubas or "we Niger Delta" if a referendum is conducted today! You think it's by lying and impersonating them?

With all due respect, we don't habour such rivalry among ourselves. I don't think we have Igbos in the Niger Delta.

nsiba:
Rants of a dog, the older they are the more stupid they are
* It is in our very own eyes we saw our Senators from SE shamelessly fight themselves and blackmail one another for the position
* we saw the killings inside of a Catholic church in Anambra by drug barons when the killings of themselves in south Africa wasn't enough they brought the shame to their village to settle drug scores
* It is no news how Abia state chased away IMO state civil servants in Abia ministry I guess this is way of saying we love NdiIgbos
* The Anambra state in showing true love to Ebonyi state, renamed a street named after a popular town in Ebonyi " club road" what a brotherly from a governor of NdiIgbo
* Ebonyi governor told the then IG of police that Ebonyi will never be in the Anambra zone 9 control rather they will remain with Zone 6 Calabar, this is truly Alaigbo republic no be lie

* Up till tomorrow the IMO state Catholics say over their dead body a BISHOP from Anambra will preside over them, what a country Biafra would be.
The Anambra say he is real IBO, IMO says 4ku, among themselves they say this is fake and true Ibos
I will tell any other tribe that the disdain this people show for themselves isn't hidden go over many threads here and see how Abians, Imolites, Anambraians Enugus and Ebonyians disgrace themselves and you and outsider not an NdiIgbo wants to join with them, you must be an infinite fool.
Biafra is LANDLOCKED and only canoes would be allowed to go up the sea, dredging kill you there.

FreeIgbos come and answer

ThumbzTNA:
Forget all these "we the Niger Delta" miscreants on NL. Its the same bunch of jobless social misfits gallivanting allover NL.

aren't you ashamed of calling us out everyday? This show of desperation is humiliating to Igbo

donbachi:
Op,calm down.na wetin person call him sef,u go calm and him go answer.no be wetin u call am.

lol. You did right

Juliusmalema:
Sometimes you will wonder what Tompolo is fighting for..


Whether it is for his People or NDDC or for Ghana must go as can be seen on the picture.


All the noise are due to money not filtering in as usual...

Yeye Militants.

You are fool. You didn't read the condition for his extension? Wait until the month expires before you blurt things out.

eduj:
Then why fight the urhorobos over land at warri ? why the discord between you guys and the Benin over gegelege ? you guys make claims on Akwaibom,Abia and even Rivers -but you have no superiority complex.Then again which resources is present in ijaw land that others don't have ? Every ethnic group in the SS see you guys as threats.

The game you guys played out in old Rivers state ,says a whole lot about you guys

Igbos don't fight themselves to death over lands? You can't lay claim to where you don't exist. You are living in self-denial. The presence of Ijaws in the states you mentioned is not debatable. As for Abia state, we have the Ndoki people strongly identifying with their Ijaw kith and kin through the IYC and the INC. if theses people aren't part of us, they won't be in our forums advancing the interest of the Ijaws within ethical boundaries. So oga. Be pain! You lots try as much to pitch other ethnic nationalities in the Niger Delta against the Ijaws so you will make them vulnerable enough to advance your selfish interests in the Niger Delta. It will not work. Everybody is conscious of their existence. Ijaws don't need to and Ibibio man, Efik man or Annang, or Ikwere or even Uhrobo man how to approach the Igbo interest in Niger Delta. They know what is true.. u will always meet stiff resistance in your quest to annex Niger Delta region to ur drug republic. From the comments in this thread you should know, people from Akwa-Cross habours the Niger Delta Republic agenda, same of Bendel People, likewise the Rivers-Bayelsa. So how is it just an Ijaw affair? Pitching this nationalities against Ijaws is not gonna work. They know you for who you trully are. In rivers states, despite the overwhelming presence of Ijaws, with 9-10 local governments (debatable athough) in the form of Okrika, Kalabari, Bile, Egenni, Ibani (Opobo and Bonny) etc we are yet to have a shot as Governor of Rivers states for almost 24 years now. Only Ikweres have been rulling rivers since 1999. Yet we have peace in rivers with no ethnic war with our neighbours. In Delta state, since 1999, Ibori, Uhrobo, handed over to Itshekiri man, Ishekri man handed it over to Ika man. Ijaws have not tasted the seat. But everyone is living fine no ethnic rivalry. Only u Igbo lots tries to create war among us so you could advance ur interest. Oga e nogo work! Tueh!

meccuno:
[s][/s] So if you fought to liberate Rivers State from Igbo domination, why then did these same people create Bayelsa out of rivers?

East Central state metamorphosed to just Imo and Anambra states. If they were good and all together in good faith, why was Abia state created from parts of Enugu out of the blue in 1991, and why was Ebonyi created in from parts of enugu and abi in 1996? Answer these questions fools!

eduj:
you can never see an ijaw man talk today of an ijaw only country. They claim to fight for equality of the minorities,but history have always proved them no better.
What happened when they became majority in old Rivers state ? what happened when they had most power in the SS after the civil war ? what happened when one of theirs became president ?

The resources in Ijaw land alone can sustain them in an Ijaw republic. Other ethnic nationalities don't see us as threats because they know we have no superiority complex.

FreeIgbos:
Some of these so-called minorities, especially the ijaw ones are so deluded in reasoning. The same ijaws that oppressed ikwerres in old Rivers State and the ikwerres that are currently fighting back because many ijaws were moved to Bayelsa are now suddenly the best of friends in nairaland . They forgot that Wike always threatens ijaws in Rivers state. Ijaws, ishekiri and uhrobo are always fighting in Warri because the Ijaws keep annexing their lands with force but they are now the best of friends in nairaland, a faceless forum Ibibios too face the same discrimination in ijaw hands, same with Binis that are in roforofo fight fight with ijaws in Gelegele over land grabbing by ijaws There is one common denominator in all these, which is ijaws who are in an aggressive expansionist drive. The irony is that it's same ijaws that are desperately pushing for Niger Delta rep where they hope to subjugate the others.

Whatever identity crises some of the Anioma people are having is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things because wherever Asaba goes, the rest of Anioma will follow and anyone who knows Asaba very well knows that an overwhelming majority prefers a union with their Igbo brothers than to face an uncertain future in a Babel republic. Same goes with the Asa and other Igboid areas of Rivers State except Ikwerre.

Only a deluded and ignorant fool will believe that the 6 SS states will become a republic because realistically, such will never happen, I can bet a million naira on that!

Divide and rule tactics! Tueh

Graysons:
Make i go sleep!

lol. The turn out was massive bro.

SaintBishop:
These people thinking is laughable i swear!

the act of desperation is puzzling

Smh, yet a fool l like you claims that your words have affect on me.
You are a mumu man, igbo clown.

more bullets

Igboid:
What about Bini City and Warri?
They look like a joke to you?

Asaba is an Igbo city and has nothing to do with your Niger Delta.

What about Bini and Warri is that your foolish concern? What about Biafra Capital? If Enugu, what about Owerri and Aba?
Your foolishness is legendary

Idiko1:
I guess it takes one delusional fool to recognize another. In my honest assessment, it must be an insult to a fool to called you a dumbass fool.

You hate filled lots have nothing logical to say. Always jumping on one thread to the other to discuss the Niger Delta people. . Are you done mourning your brothers that were killed like chickens by the Nigerian security forces?

Igboid:
Reasoning is not your forte.
Point is that any group of people can go to any national daily and say any rubbish on behalf of their people back home, even when their opinion doesn't reflect those of their own people back home.

A group's opinion doesn't reflect the views of the people they represent, but an individual's opinion from a far away landlocked region does reflect the collective views of people that don't even know him . I thought as much. . You're not as smart as you think.. I leave you to wallow in pain
