Please move to front page let's know the senior men/ladies on this group.
Classic.
Read this novel back then, enjoyed it and learnt a few new words but the one which stuck forever back then as a teenager was the word "Providence"
truly "señor ingléser" was helped by providence in that Island.

On the contrary, King Pepple himself told Captain Hugh his story himself, and in that story he never identified as a jo man. According to Hugh, Jo people were running around the creek seeking for whom to devour
NO ONE IDENTIFIED AS JO.
it was the name given to us by the Brits.
I am a nembeian LIKE YOU KNOW because we both know you're someone else behind that monicker but let me talk to you like you're not whom we both know you are,
we were called Oru, and we spoke an Oru dialect(s) recorded by baikie, sigismund koelle, and lots of other linguist.

Yes Amayanabo(owner of the community) became a thing for the central and Eastern rulers because our kingdoms BECAME MORE POLITICAL due to the Europeans coming and trading heavily. but prior to that, our leaders or rulers used the "PERE" title in the primitive days because it was MORE SPIRITUAL. Pere means Priest, our western Ijaw brothers still maintain that ancient title and I commend them.

secondly, the white man know nothing about we Africans, they only choose what they want to publish for their very crafty selfish reasons. We all trace our Ancestry from The central delta and every one (child to an old or deceased person) knows/knew this.

If we were Ijaws as you have said, how come we did not name our village Ijaw names, how come our progenitors did not bear Ijaw names?

How come we don't serve Ijaw God or have Ijaw customs?

SO far, the people of Ibani and Ndoki have shared cultures and interacted as one people. Nothing we do in Ibani or even Ndoki, resonates with what the people of Delta or central Ijaw practice.

Yes most of my people believe in the Aminadokiari fables, but to me, it does not hold water.

You should believe MOST YOUR PEOPLE, INCLUDING YOUR ELDERS, THEY KNOW MORE THAN YOU, here is the fact

it is a thing of nature for you to be INFLUENCED by your neighbors. The northern Igbo city states have igala influence.
The western Ijaw people have Yoruba influence.
The northern Yoruba city states have Hausa/fulani influence.
The western Taiwanese have Chinese INFLUENCED etc etc.
Ndoki was the VERY FIRST landing spot from the migrating batch led by Opuamakuba, Kala-beni(alias Alagbarigha) and Asikunuma(the one whom the Ngwa igbos affectionately called Okpara Ndoli)

these migratory batch from a town called Okoloba in Kolokuma/Opokuma axis landed with their people at Aminadokiari and related with THE NEIGHBORING Ngwa people(SOUTHERN IGBO) AND EVEN INTERMARRIED WITH THEM, They stayed there for a long time even prince Edimini(Opuamakuba's grandson) was born there.

IF YOU CAN BE TRUTHFUL, you will know IBOS naturally aren't a riverrine people, they prefer farming to fishing, that is why they stay more inland than riverrine.
But ask yourself why the Ndoki people are very riverrinehuh
The Ndoki people are from the isedani lineage, but their language was greatly influenced and covered by the Ngwa due to the rate of intermarriage, and the Igbo typical ways of moving to anywhere or location they see people so they can trade.
How can you say Ndoki towns don't sound Ijaw to you, what about Okolo'ma? Oruama?? Okolomakiri ?? Osobie ?? Even Azumini people will tell you they aren't Igbos.

These migratory batch will later come down and settled around the Ogoni area and dwelt in the town where Kala-oko and Opu-oko currently stands.

Kala Beni being a hunter one day went on a hunt and saw the beautiful Island (Bonny) he returned to inform his brothers of a better land down south to settle, and they decided to head further south again, not everyone as usual followed after living in Aminadokiari for a very long time and being used to it.
Opuamakuba agreed to come see the place with him and they all(group) headed for the site, but Opuamakuba died on the way but Kala-beni led them and they settled in what is today grand Bonny (they named Okoloama). Kala-beni set up a shrine to dedicate to Opuamakuba which is the famous kala-Ikuba shrine you might have heard of.
The southern migration from Ndoki is the one the igbos talk of BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM TO SETTLE AT NDOKI...LMAO.
So the town was known as kalabeni settlement and corrupted to ibani or people of ibani.

THAT IS WHY THE "AMINADOKIARI FABLE" is believed by your elders and people, and if you don't want to believe it, suit yourself.

Today the influx of ENGLISH LANGUAGE is taking over our indigenous names and we even answer English names but that doesn't make us Anglo Saxons does it??

Ndoki people today speak a dialect resembling Ngwa with very little ijaw words sandwiched between it. Many of your elders came to retrace their Ijaw ancestry but some disagreed and said it's best continue in the ways they were born and were used to, infact Ijaws don't really care anymore but if your people wants to come back, we will welcome you with Open arms but do not say the Bonny people and the Opobo people don't have any connections to the central delta because they are uncountable traditions, beliefs I would have shown you, but I don't have that time or energy. But I will show you a video where the Amayanabo (not eze) of Opobo talked about the central delta migration.

Milliator:
Bench One, Start One, Sell One
Well Messi is the GOAT.
I would have kept Messi and mbappe and sold Neymar(not because he isn't good but because he isn't serious or driven) but a driven Neymar is a phantom from the most ancient graveyard. Of recent he has been criticized and belittled and it woke him up. no manager will sell a motivated Neymar Jr and I am seeing a motivated Neymar because of the report that mbappe (his friend) asked the clubs hierarchy to sell him and omo it made Neymar angry and he is showing the world why he is the most talented player behind Messi and Ronaldo, so I'll sell mbappe for a load of cash and keep Messi and Neymar who are currently producing Barcelona days magic.
now we know Neymar lost focus because of excess money.

I am telling you what I have seen. While you may say 99% of men won't take back cheating women, I am also here to tell you that some men do. If you haven't heard or seen it doesn't mean it's not a given.

And it has nothing to do with the bulleted aforementioned points above. If women can take back cheating men, I mean, why can't men do the same?
the trust and everything is broken and won't be the same again.
the woman will suffer emotional abuse as his mood will swing all the time,
he won't take normal rubbish his wife usually does before,
he won't hide his cheating
any time they have a misunderstanding, he will always use it against her, it's a psychological thing... she will be weak, guilty, worthless and literally be a slave in that marriage till he dumps her or she comes off it and leave(rare) but even if she does, she will never forgive herself and won't be the same again.
If your man catches you cheating but takes you back, you'll see hell and disrespect... all you'll have to do is suffer and smile for the public

FamilyRe: Unusual Behavior Between My Step Brother And My Wife by Alabo7978(m): 9:34pm On Aug 12, 2022
grop1040:
Hi guys,

Something happened 9 months ago, I decided to keep mute or probably just wait for the right time to commence my investigation to actually know what is going on between my step brother and my wife.

So I'm 9 years already into my marriage, and we have 3 kids. My step brother who is the 2nd of my mum has temperamental problem.

He's bossy and very vulgar plus he's controlling, everybody knows him for that, he was married 13 years ago, however after his family relocated to the USA, he later found
out that his 3kids aren't his, the marriage ended like that, ever since then he's been traumatized, emotionally and any other way one can describe him as. Sometimes in order to at least feel that children presence around him, he would ask me to have my children come over to his place for some days, and I could witness how that really helped him over time, but then I noticed the absence of his wife started making him familiarize with my wife in certain odd manners which I was not really down with.

For example, if he comes to our house, most times comes around with a friend, either female or male, my wife seems not to be the attache type who would sit with us in the living room, she will rather be upstairs in the room, I have witnessed cases where he will shout at her, saying how can everybody be here and ur there upstairs?

There was even a time when one of the visitors he came with sighed and made face in a way that defined, wow, "was that necessary". Or times when he will ask her to cook stew for her, if she forgets or probably didnt want to do it because she knew it isnt her duty, she will be yelled upon, you'll here things like, where
is the egusi i told u to make, even the one you made last time, u didnt put enough this and that

Now yall might think am a dullard or a simp, or someone too relaxed as gentle and as patient as I am, I be original demon, if I start my madness, the result will end in eternal damage, and our family background from my mums side where this my brother was born, we tend to uphold unity over adversity, so when things like this occur, mum would rather have us calm and not fight so unity can continue.

So sometimes last year, the major issues started grooming that made me start to think if there was something going on with my step and my wife, it started with when the kids were with him, so madam and I were suppose to go for outing, so we decided to branch at his place to check up on the kids, on getting there while in his living room, he said to my wife "I like your hair" she responded thanks, he was like are u guys going out, I was like yea am taking her out, next thing she asked my madam, so when are we going on
our own outing
? I shrugged and didnt understand where that came from, though she didnt answer him.

While we were leaving, I was waiting for her to bring up the topic and put it to me that why did ur brother say such a thing, even if its a joke, its too expensive, but she didnt, I brought up the topic, and she was like shes surprised too that she never thought he would say such a thing.

5 days later, we had a family party in his house, my other brothers, cousins and my mum, my children were there, while the
caterer were cooking outside, and we were all in his living room drinking, he opted to get some meat to dish and give everybody to at least be chewing something, he served it round but when it got to my wives turn, the one he already bit off from was what he gave her, funny thing is, it was only my mum and myself that saw the scene, my wife was not aware, that was when I knew something could be going on.

Afterwards, I put the ish through to my wife, she acted disgusted and said she cant blv he would do such, that although my mum already called her to say the same thing. So I asked details of what she discussed with my mum, she said my mum advised her that whenever he calls her, she shouldnt pick, that when he knows its obvious that shes avoiding his call, he probably would want to report to her, and then she will now break the silence of what she my wife have been experiencing with him thus her refusal to pick his call.

So I called my mum and I was like being calm, patient and cooperating with the useless policy of the family doesnt mean that the recent things happening won't seat any longer with me, that am gonna have to confront him and put him in his place. My mum begged me and begged, cos she's 76 years old, I considered and I had no choice but to cooperate with her advise.

The funny thing is, after this whole ish, I asked her that if he calls, will you pick, she answered yes I will, but I will have to see what he has to say first to know if I will continue the conversation or not, I was like for real? You must be kidding me, it means something that I am not suppose to know of is happening, she was like oh well its ur fault, why didn't u confront him instead of listening to ur mums advise.

Since then, I have let it slide, but what actually made me bring up this issue again, was when I went to my bros house to pick some stuffs my sister sent from the USA, madam was off to the market, I called her to ask if she would like the only size 10 of the shoe I saw cos she wears 9, she didnt pick after calling like 4 times, immediately my brother called her with his own phone, she picked and was like sorry when you called I try to pick but it was nt connecting, I just weak at that moment sey wetin dey sup.

Guys, ladies, from deep experiences u guys must have gone through, what do u think could be wrong and what do yall think I should do, something could be happening
that if I dont unravel early, it might be the cause of ones demise or destruction.

Throwback:
Someone once opined on this forum, that this David Hundeyin is actually hollow and shallow.

I now believe by the above tweet he made.

Is it just today that David is knowing that Nigeria supports a lot of our West African neighbours with financial grants and material support, aside from the many bilateral pacts we have with these ECOWAS neighbours?

Did the government tell him they were hiding anything, such that he is calling it "brazen" and "daring" for being legally budgeted for?

What manner of hysterical journalism is this anarchist trying to push to his mob of fellow hate group members?

Even if Peter Obi is voted President, Nigeria will still continue to support our neighbouring countries, one way or another, and they will be budgeted just as this "discovery" from an idle mind that serves the devil well.

RomanceRe: I Am About Getting Married To A Man That Hates My Mom So Much by Alabo7978(m): 10:00pm On Jul 11, 2022
Sheeba22:
Good morning everyone ! My head is filled with thoughts and I am very confused on which path to follow that is why I am making this post.

It's a long read but I will try to shorten it.

I met my guy after my waec. He was a struggling young man with a lot of aspirations. Meeting him improved me because he pushed me to the limit to become a better person. This is a guy with soft heart and was willing to share his little with me, not only me but everyone around him. He is someone that is willing to go hungry for that man on the street to eat.

My parents knew him, everyone was OK with him. Three years into the relationship I gained admission which he played a key role at some point he was like my sole sponsor because things were rough at home and my uncles were disappointing. He took it upon himself and was sharing his salary into three and one portion comes to me. At home was a nightmare for my parents because my parents as civil servants were being owed. If you know how osun state was under Aregbe's govt.

This guy was our hope, not yet my husband, not rich but was coming through for us. Sometimes with foodstuffs and money to my siblings most especially my mom.

During my NYSC in 2018, suitors started coming, some with cars and my mom tired of suffering was mounting pressure on me to accept one of them. My fiance on the other hand was ready but waiting for me to be ready because we agreed that marriage and maybe child bearing will distract my studies.

My mom became so desperate to the extent of not wanting me and my guy to continue with our relationship. She wanted one of the rich suitors to have me (she forgot so soon). When the pressure and embarrassment was too much the relationship collapsed.

God knows I wanted to continue but he wasnt willing to fight. Our relationship ended and he left, I heard he relocated to Portharcout to stay with a friend and soon after travelled.

We lost all forms of communication only for him to resurface December last year. Dude looks good and we got talking and reconnected again. While he was away I was in a relationship with one of the suitors.

When my first love called that he was back I didn't think twice before rushing to the hotel to meet with him. We had the best sex that day and I couldn't help but cry all through, everything was like a movie to me.

I ended my relationship with that guy and we started again, he is OK (not that rich) but I am willing to marry him even in poverty.

He went back after some months and we have been talking on phone , he asks about my siblings but doesn't even ask after my mom. Whenever we are having a discussion and my mom is mentioned, he changes the topic, if I ask he will say he doesn't want to talk about my mom.

Like the hatred is much, he has this anger towards her and I am worried.

He plans to come ask for my hand when he returns, then we become man and wife but I am worried.

I love him, but how do I cope with a husband who hates my mom and sees her as a personal enemy. He doesn't hide this hatred, at a point he told me that his biggest challenge will be stepping foot inside my house for the marriage rites. And if he marries me that will be the last time he comes to my house.

He is still cool with my siblings and dad but mom is his enemy
.men who go through such heart break and shame do not love again... Men only really love once in their life time. That dude will straff you and leave you for your gold digging mother to Marry you.

I believe this belongs here.

I am a proud son of Ndoki, I am from Umuagbai/Umuagbayi in Oyigbo , Rivers State by law, and also from Ohandu-Ndoki (Abia State) by birth.

From our culture, Ndoki founded the Bonny Kingdom.

That is why the language spoken in Bonny is Ndoki language, not the general Igbo or central Igbo. So that talk of slaves being the reason why Bonny or Opobo speak Igbo is unfounded. Ndokis were never slaves in Bonny Kingdom, it was the first language spoken in Bonny even till this day.

At a time, a Rev. in Bonny was preaching in central Igbo, the Bonny chiefs vehemently opposed it and insisted that the Ndoki language must be used.

ASK YOUR ELDERS.
the Ndoki people known as Aminadokiari or waminadokiari migrated from kolokuma/opokuma axis; and coming up the imo river for trade. Two subsequent batches migrated from same kolokuma/Opokuma in search of their brother and they found them at the current site. Aminadokiari or waminadokiari is translated to mean(I am looking for my brother). That was how ndoki got it's name., and the name was corrupted to Ndoki by the Europeans who couldn't pronounce indigenous african settlements.
Those days the creeks were seen as dangerous or difficult to live or trade in, that was why coastal dwellers moored their trading canoe up stream and battered with the igbos who had great forest and cultivated yams, maize, rice, palm oil. at the center of commerce;Azumini.

The language is not the same with central igbo nor any other Igbo because some sort of hybrid language (a mixture of kolokuma and Igbo words was born after the Opokuma/kolokuma people settled there for sometime before coming down to found Bonny and another; kalabari(after establishing Aminadokiari.
you made mention of oyigbo, and I know oyigbo like the back of my palm, in those days it was controlled by the powerful ibani chiefs and kom-kom was the main slave market, and the imo river along the slaughter round to Azumini behind okoloma afam use to be filled with large trading canoes of the coastal dwellers, the igbos were never one to navigate war or trading canoes because they were a land people, and many of them dread water. even the imo river you see those divers bringing out sands are mostly ijaw people who work there. generally Igbo man no get mind enter the bottom of water to bring out sand.
ask yourself why the whole area use to belong to the Bonny family of Hart?
ask yourself why the igbos don't understand jack of the core ndoki Language but some ijaw clans can understand some of the words in your DIALECT?
ask yourself why the igbos can't tell the meaning of Ndoki/waminadokiarihuh
I know you might not be familiar with the term "Aminadokiari/waminadokiari" so I beckon you to ask any old person. I even have ndoki in-laws whom were married into my maternal side(Igbo land) and they also confirmed the migration facts from the central delta area, just ask then get back to me.


the Bonny founders were bilingual due to the fact that they and their ndoki brothers stayed and traded close to the Igbo people of NGWA for a long time yet the language doesn't even resemble Ngwa atall atall. Reason am. me personally grew up and lived in Igbo land most of my life and I speak Igbo you wouldn't guess I'm an ijaw person.

I will look for and show you a document sent by the Bonny king Perekule the first through Samuel Ajayi crowther to the British empire about the language spoken by Bonny.
Again ask your elders, you migrated from the central delta region.

ChinenyeN:
As the years go by, I’ve found it increasingly funny when Nigerians make mention about how a community lost its language or dialect over a 300 - 500 year timespan. The reason I find this funny, especially for us in the Lower Niger region, is due to the plethora of dialects that exist in our area.

300 - 500 years is not enough to wipe out Defaka dialect, despite being overwhelmingly outnumbered by Ijo.

300 - 500 years is not enough to wipe out Obulom dialect, despite being so small that they are considered a minority within a minority (Okrika).

300 - 500 years has not been enough to wipe out Ogoni dialect despite the fact that they trade so heavily with Ijo.

1000+ years has not been enough time to wipe out Obolo dialect despite their extensive history with the overseas trade and relations with both Igbo, Ijo, Ibibio and Central Delta.

YET, when it comes to Igbo, suddenly a community is susceptible to losing their language and dialect.

If there is one thing that the linguistic situation in the Lower Niger has shown us, it is this:

Unless you are so infinitesimally small that you go unnoticed, it is unlikely that your community will lose its language or dialect within a 300 - 500 or even 1000 year timeframe. Instead, what we witness are untold levels of multilingualism in the Lower Niger. However, all communities have a primary dialect and it is likely that they have had that dialect for at least 300 - 500 or even 1000+ years.

So what am I saying? That Oguta is Igbo-speaking primarily suggests that they did not acculturate within the last 300 - 500 years. Rather, it is more than likely that has been their language and dialect perhaps for 1000+ years now. Any suggestion to the contrary simply cannot be supported by the linguistic situation in the Lower Niger, unless there are oral traditions to corroborate it.

And to the best of my knowledge, Oguta has no oral traditions to corroborate an Ijo affiliation (as in a migration from the Central or Western Delta). There are likely some Oguta wards that did, but as a community in it’s entirety, Oguta itself has offered no such traditions to corroborate an Ijo affiliation, to the best of my knowledge. Please furnish it, if you have seen it.
it is very possible for a language to be wiped out even within a shorter time frame than your 300-500 years. look at the Apoi people whom are ijaw but many of them speak and feel Yoruba more in their heart.
Me for example, I was born outside ijaw territories, my whole life was outside ijaw land and I found it difficult to speak my Nembe dialect. leaving closer or in Igbo land and having more Igbo friends made me more fluent in Igbo including their exclamations like "nna ehn" "chineke nna" I usually found myself saying these things unconsciously amongst my many cousins whom stayed in ijaw TERRITORIES like yenagoa, etc and they'd laugh at me and call me Igbo boy, e dey pain me and it made me begin to teach myself my dialect with YouTube, PDF's etc
I got influenced by where I grew up and that was the same thing that happened to the Ndoki people who settled where they settled and in a few generations their dialect left them. so my brother it is very possible for a dialect to dissapear. Oru Igbo people even use the mode of greeting of the ijaw people and I see no reason why they should have "Oru" attached to their name just like your own Igbo clan attach the "ngwa" to their other extension (Aba-ngwa, osisioma-ngwa, ukwa-ngwa)
