historyworld030:
Look for historical documents, precolonial maps and so on, stop believing stories.
When people make statements don't believe unless there is proof backed by historical evidence.
Use your brain as you were taught in school.
Always be skeptical.
Don't ever rely on feelings or emotions, all that matter is getting to the truth, even if it hurts.

mr1759:
shut up your mouth, even king jaja who is the founder of ijaw nation was a slave from igboland , he later deepen him self into slave trade business some of this slave that he gathered and was unable to sell after his arrest are today known as ijaw ppl, ordinary ijaw does not have identity

Uyiii:
I hope you don't claim your lecturers wife one day, anything stupid is possible with the ijaws, you know

just kill yourself bro, your life is a total mess and you're a disgrace to humanity. Traitors

historyworld030:
All you have is delusion. I have proven to you that you are not telling the truth.

Yyeske:
From that link, it shows the Ijaws had lived in that area before the Binis and are aboriginal to the land

historyworld030:
No, you are mistaking. The case has already been decided in court, more than 30 years ago ! And the ijaws are once again flaunting the decision of the magistrates.

historyworld030:
Keep playing with those people's lives, when the shit hits the fan, you will be the only ones to blame.
I am only wondering why they can't see that some people who claim to be their brothers are using them as sacrificial lambs.

Uyiii:
can't spell within because of your stupid argument or you're ordinarily a dullard.
I've observed how you've been tryna cause a mishap between binis n yorubas in this small thread just to garner stupid likes and supports from them, crafty/devious entities

I thought you should know the Oba of benin arrived today, no too much noise idiot

historyworld030:
I once saw one ijaw man mistreating one white girl when I was in france. I regret why I didn't kick his ass.
I told him to take it easy and that he shouldn't treat her like that.
Jeez I should have kicked his ass.

historyworld030:
So the guy who wrote that book must have been alive to see the Edo come into the niger delta and meet the ijaw ?
For your info the Benin Kingdom is at least one thousand years old.
I would love to see that guy who was there to witness the events and write the book long before any person who could write ever visited the region.

All precolonial maps show Gelegele as being part of the Benin kingdom, but I guess your magical unknown book has it otherwise.

Yyeske:
I've learnt so much history on this thread but conflicting narratives from both sides and I'm really confused, who can please give us an unbiased account of the Ijaws and the Binis as relating to this topic?

historyworld030:
You guys say you love those ijaw in gelegele, but you keep playing with their lives.
What is your purpose ?
It is clearly established that Gelegele is part of the Benin Kingdom.
The matter has already been to court in the past.
The proof is still available, yet you just keep making the same silly claims.

Yyeske:
Easy bro, please let it end there and nothing Igbo would come up here but you guys should settle this dangerous drift amicably.

Alexus23:
Did you not read his comment where he delibrately berated Igbos? he is a jack ass

Alexus23:
My friend, learn to respect your elders. Are you mad? You must be a war drunk junk.

Alexus23:
Please, stop this nonsense. Is it only in Ijaw land that oil is been drilled? What about Igboid areas in Rivers and Delta that oil is carted away on daily basis? No need even mentioning Abia and Imo. Ijaws are not the only region surffering from neglect and marginilization. Just don't involve us in your troubles.

hotwax:
Fck off...e concern u?

updatechange:
So u can't understand what was written up there...
Oduduwa being a son of the Ogiso refers to Bini land as a vexatious land and that's where the word bini came from... get ur facts right son.

Uyiii:
you've been all over the place since, are you always this stupid or you're just tryna exhibit your act of stupidity in this thread only

nor quote me again idiot, you think you can fight with everybody.. move ahead abeg.

MENELIK1:
Your ranting did not answer my question. Check my first line "Yoruba is plus or minus anybody" Yoruba don't claim people rather people trace their descent to us even as far as Ewe of Present day Togo. The binis are the one trying to claim other people by your revisionist history of a lost prince being recalled from Ile Ife and the fallacy of Lagos. Binis are now laughing stock for Nairaland folks. "Oba no dey comot for Palace", now he is in Garki going up and down, bini owns Lagos , now the Ijaws are here to claim the tiny enclave you are even managing. Please accept my sympathy. You said OBA is not a Yoruba word only, why not prove me wrong by spelling it using your alphabets?

Uyiii:
God is an ijaw man, I am surprised I haven't read that yet since ijaw clan is the beginning of creation itself.

Adam and Eve are ijaw people

una mumu don do abeg, all this e-ranting dey tire and annoy person
Binis really need throway some strokes of cane to that coward una wan crown, make e reset una brain and reconnect una back to reality.
you guys are just over stupid right now and this is an exhibition of full blown drunkenness.

Ogogoro people, ijaw people can argue for Africa, them fit follow you argue your name
Illiterates, we bless God for civilization sha, e nor get how ijaw man wan go school reach, you must still see traits of cowardness in them.

people wey dey burst pipelines around them dey kill the small fishes wey them dey survive on because they want FG's attention, little wonder monkey pox be wan make dem go extinct

make everybody go sleep abeg

Unless you come at us with an atomic bomb, we will survive, but you won't survive the last strike by definition.

historyworld030:
And we will be the last to strike.

historyworld030:
Let us meet on the battle front, that is all I am asking.

historyworld030:
Who the hell are you people ?
We are the ancient people of the Benin Kingdom.
Our history is known to all.
Our strenght is legendary.
Once again, who are you ?
You just keep talking, spewing rubbish, but all I am asking is let us fight.
You believe you are strong, so what is the problem ?
Let the fight start !

nengibo:
U don't need to tell us its very obvious

odigbosky:
Since una believe una sef....no lele

historyworld030:
In my dreams as well, but I die with the knowledge that I have helped in leading my people into victory against the vicious invaders whom we previously treated as brothers.

Dboyz:
Oil dey ur head

Shut the hell up, let us just fight. No more talk.
