Known by who? Ijaw nationalists?

From your moniker I can tell you are Ijaw. It is hardly surprising that you would make these unfounded claims, given your ethnic persuasion and what is known of your people's not-so-subtle expansionist agenda.

Now while Egbema and Oguta do indeed mention migrations from outside Igboland in their traditions, neither of them points to Ijawland. They point to Benin.
Oru-Igbo doesn't mean Ijaw. I am aware that you people seem to think that Oru points exclusively to Ijaw origin, but along the Niger, Olu or Oru simply means a riverine clan, whether they be Igbo, Ijaw or Igala. The term is geographic and nothing more.

No Egbema or Oguta source mentions Ijawland as a point of origin. It's only on Ijaw-centric, Ijaw expansionist, Ijaw nationalistic sites that these lies are peddled.

I'm not an expansionist, I don't have time for that however go and consult books written by the very first Europeans who touched down at West Africa (Portuguese, Brits,) We were known as Oru or ijo by them and were called UMU-ORU by our Igbo neighbors who we battered dried, fish, periwinkles, salt and all other sea foods for yams, rice, maize and oil.
just like the word "Mamacita" is known wildly even by Chinese to mean a beautiful young woman, but that word is Spanish, so you trying to make "Oru" a general word doesn't hold water when you haven't even tried to research the Genesis of such word, visit maps made by Europeans from as recent as the 1800s, you'd see the area you now call ijaw was mapped "ORU"
consult old materials and know for yourself. no one wants to expand to anywhere because these people have lost their dialect and have been enculturated. Ask yourself why they greet with "imbana" which originally is "imbanua" instead of nde'wo or isalachi or ibolachi of the igbos who are most closer to them
ask yourself why the oguta people usually in those days call on Chiefs from the ijaw clan of kalabari to come and settle disputes, ask yourself why at the eve of the civil war the oguta people went back to kalabari??

see my brother, no one wants to expand, I don't converse with young people, I prefer old people just to gain knowledge and wisdom from them. Go as far up to the north East in Demsa LGA of Adamawa, you'd see ijaw people but luckily these people still maintain 80% of their Language and answer ijaw names and there was a poll casted amongst them if they wanted to return to their ancient land, majority agreed. so my brother, no one is expanding anything, if not for trading purpose, no one will migrate to a particular location. Ijaw people have been navigating the waterways for a thousand years atleast, some kept their culture and heritage, some lost it to the people they settled with.

ordinary bicycle!!!
over a life a billion times worth the stupid bicycle!!??

RedboneSmith:
Who told you this?

It is known ofcourse.
The Egbema people say they migrated from outside Ala'igbo, the Egbema clan in Western Ijaw is where they came from
Same as the oguta people who pride themselves as Oru-igbo.

These people due to the need to trade directly with the igbos who had thick forests where maize, rice, palm oil, yams and other cash crops are grown settled up close.. They lost their dialect as a result of this; being far away from their kin and more closer to foreigners.
The original oguta people migrated back to calabari at the eve of the civil war.

You sure understand the chess move;
One bobby Fischer would be proud of

Goodluck "Jephthah" Jonathan and APC seeking salvation at the hands of the one they termed "not capable" or is this a big chess move by Jephthah's brother for "their" greater good?


A gentle character; mild and humane who had the burden of rulership thrust upon him without announcement or preparation. What is more baffling is he never sought or chased such power. A few can agree with me that such kind of luxury was probably not meant for him, but like a ripened mango- it fell to his lap as he sat underneath the tree. Such blessing and privilege brought great envy from others who felt he was not "born to rule".
The Goodluck Jonathan's government was perhaps the most challenging in the history of Nigerian rulership, bomb blast here and there, kidnappings and the Chibok girls saga, mock coffin display, several insults and smoke screen to hamper his vision. The bullying brothers would not let the gentle brother rule, and his government was made "ungovernable"
He was frustrated, shoved, made fun of and battered till he left the neighborhood never to tussle with the bullies anymore; so we thought.
The following couple of years, months, weeks and the tree has been left to die. The so-called big bullies-brothers who battered and chased the gentle brother away became the bad energy that somehow caused a drought which affected the mango tree in the exile of the gentle brother. Now the family has been demonized by all who took shade and solace under the once flourishing tree, they all say "when your gentle brother was around" "you drove him out and became worse" and surely these brothers knew for sure they had ruined things and in other to make the family relevant, they selfishly called on their rejected, battered brother just to redeem their demonized home; this is very similar to the biblical story of Jephthah.
But could there be a motive? A smart move by the "now loving brothers" to restore the dignity of their house? Perhaps bringing in the loathed gentle brother whom they envied and deemed not fit to rule-now I ask WHAT NOW MADE HIM FIT TO RULE?
What if the house can't be put in order? What if the mess to clean isn't a day job? What if they secretly loath and envy the hated brother's reputation and seek to destroy it?
Will there be a situation of "I thought you can do it, and now you can't, you aren't that special anymore"
Will that scenario ultimately prepare the course for the control of the house to "tilt back towards" the direction of the brothers who now suddenly and suspiciously want him back again? Will this "little sacrifice" of allowing him to rule beneficial for "their" greater good?
There is a popular African proverb which goes this way "BE WEARY OF AN ENEMY WHO SUDDENLY BECOMES A FRIEND"
Robert Greene's 5th law of the 48 Laws of power emphasized more on reputation and the need to guide it with your life. Perhaps this may or may not end up like the story of Jephthah but in all, we hope the dieng tree bring forth juicy supple mangoes once again and sprout forth new green shoots to shade us from the fiery sun.

Scottallen:
Many Igbo groups have origins from outside Alaigbo. I believe you are not more knowledgeable than Idigo, an Aguleri native. You can go through the different books cited by the author. There's nothing wrong with having an Igala origin. Just don't deny it.

We don't hate the Igalas. Just own up to your origin. The Oguta, Onitsha, Egbema, Aboh, Abiriba, and the rest own up to having origin outside Alaigbo. It takes nothing away from them. Many of them are proud Igbos still.

Oguta came from kalabari-izon
egbema from the western izon fringes
Onitsha came from Benin
Aboh are a mixture of itshekiri, izon, Benin.
ABRIBA are from ibibio.

Port Harcourt is share between the ikwerres and Okrikans these Subgroups owns port Harcourt city.
Kalabaris do not have any share in port Harcourt. Just clearing the air.

yea you're right, I noticed I mistyped kalabari.

it's a pity.
her mother and her aunty were bitches in their days.
it's very obvious you're a ju man and didn't have any experience prior to this.
that family is hungry and they handed out their daughter to another man to screw and drop papers, infact it was a planned arrangement between all of them. Infact you're a daft dummy(no offense) why didn't she take her child if she was going to meet the so called aunty?
Those old retired whores are covering up for the younger active LovePeddler if not why didn't your mother in-law tell you before hand and even when you went that she was in the so called Aunty's place

if you're a young man reading this, place your right hand on your head and declare that you shall never merge a useless uncultured family to yours.

all historical, scientific and religious accounts or proves points to life begining in Eastern Africa and of a truth we have the kemetic/Nubian(Sudan) and such influence and beliefs has been with us since time immemorial, it's no coincidence the Nubian people call a god or a spirit Ouru(Oru) while the Egyptian call it(H)Oru.
it's also not a coincidence that we call the source of creation Temerau(TemRa),Tamara, Temuno(Tamuno) the most similar to the Egyptians of lower Egypt(Nile delta)

you might be thinking that there was no reasonable water ways for the early ijaws to navigate but that is in fact not true as terrains change over the years. many water routes has been made land over the years; e.g that ancient 8000 year old canoe found in Adamawa which butteres the early scientific claims that the lakechad basin of antiquity was also once a major water route to east Africa in ancient times.

haggai247:
ok ijaws have a water goodess that lives in water called benikurukuru served and worshipped
in nembe they too have a water godess;those who serves it must vanish at a particular time of their life never to be seen again
true the ijaws can stay underwater for days but it involves powers beyond the physical for dereigbia or Beni kurukuru
we can vividly remember during the time of the Niger delta onrest offshore platform was blown by ebikaabowei AKA boyloaf all under the influence of this powers
also another militant leader called .............had the powers to stay under water for days,(he got lost in water as a diver and later was found 3years actually] infact he was married to a sea goddess that was how he got his powers
myths about throwing babies into water has been debunked but it not actually throwing,it the process of teaching a child how to swim, it not a new born baby oooo
op you and your colleagues should face work oo

tell me more about this paisise.

who's the person married to a sea goddess?

everyone who brought pain and sadness to this family will see pain and sadness and no rest of mind till they go down slowly, painfully and gruesomely.
Anyone who tries to compromise the case or hinder justice will face the torment and ill luck of the universe.

Come and see this fool calling Okrika-Ijaw people nonesense names.

leave that fool alone...
I've been following this thread and I didn't say anything much about it because I know little about the western ijaw territories, I'm only familiar with central and eastern because I am a porthacourt boy born and bred.
okrika people and kalabari people of the ijaw Ethnic nationality are part owners of porthacourt, even a large section of the area are inhabitanted by my own clan men from Nembe-ijaw. Even River State and it's founding was championed more by central ijaw clans(Nembe, ibani, ogbia, okrika and kalabari men) we central ijaws intermarry more with the ikwerres (a part owner of porthacourt) so that big time mumu don't know anything.
And as for Warri, the little I know of it was that Ginuwa the first son of Oba Olua(14th King of Benin) migrated with his followers to Iwerre, funny fact was that they were ferried across the river by Ijaw people who could understand a little of their language and when he came to establish his itshekiri kingdom, he met people around (ijaws and urhobo) which happened in the 1400s. whereas the ijaws had already migrated from further west(even through Benin before it was even founded) to settle in that area because they stretch along the coast from Apoi in ondo to the akwa-ibom area of obolo. Awolowo the former western premier gave the itshekiri people their great influence by renaming the Nana of itshekiri title to Olu of Warri to strengthen the Yoruba influence (because Ginuwa the first itshekiri king was of Benin ancestry, and the Benin people have an affiliation with the yorubas)
It is just like an atletico Madrid fan supporting Valencia IF it faces Manchester United in the UCL final) because of the Spanish ties.
Awolowo gave them the influence they have now.

NOwazobia:
There is a pattern of land grabbing the ijaws uses. When you sell or rent your land to one of them, he will go and call his brothers to come build close to him, sometimes sharing common fence.

Overtime you will notice that the numbers of ijaws in that area have increased immensely.

When these ijaws have come to terms that they are large enough in that area, they will then introduce a sign post reading "Ijaws quarters".

They wait a little longer and then start selling any land close to them as their ancestral land. When you dare challenge them, they either beat you to stupor or outrightly kill you.

When your community reinforce to challenge them, they go all over Nigeria hiring young men and heavy weaponry from every corner where they are located to fight and expel you from your own land.

When the matter finally gets to court, they will come up with a fake map that they were the ones who own and sold the land to you and not the other way round.

As it is now, many communities don't rent nor sell lands to any Ijaw indegene because they are a disaster waiting to happen. What many of them usually do these days is to hide under other tribes to purchase land in other communities.

What do you think of a tribe that has fought with almost every tribe in Nigeria. They have no ancestral land in Nigeria. Every land that has been attributed to them has always been through force, which is most times Fatal.

The Urhobos are still fighting them even till this very day. Very anyhow people with high level of entitlement.

You won't even wish your enemies an Ijaw indegene. Speaking from experience.

ijaw people are peace loving people who live a simple life and are contented with what they have, this is evident in the fact that they don't engage in robbery or ritual killing.
the ijaw barely travel far or stay far away from his home town so the stupid statement of ijaws buying lands etc etc and causing trouble is a big day smelly lie.
you only loathe an ijaw Man because he doesn't let anyone put their fingers in his eyes, if an ijaw Man is threatened or pushed, he will react fiercely and that is what you hate. You like people whom you'd put pepper in their eyes and they'll be smiling like Tilapia fish caught in the kolo Creek, infact all humans love people they can push around but sorry to break it to you that if you slap an ijaw Man once, he will blast your face with a wide palm 3 times. dey your lane make I dey my lane and everyone will be fine.

a woman hits her prime, bleeps around, play several guys around, feel fly because she feels fine.
but when she senses a decline, when SS3 girls are now freshing and coming up to compete, they finally get married having retired and handing the baton to the early 20s girls she now wants a man who most definitely couldn't play and enjoy because "he was broke" to stick with her retired self LOL.
women you enjoyed your prime from 21-27
allow men to enjoy their prime from 30-infiniti.
a society which preaches that a man deserves no woman simply because he didn't have money has no right to tell a man to stick to one woman when he finally has money.

Lols Igbos are not claiming all the coastal lands in the south, however we know our people and where our land starts and ends. We are leaving with all our people

Facts about Nembe after thorough investigations.
The Nembe people are descended from mostly Arochukwu. This is not wishful thinking it is very likely the truth. Let us look at some facts hitherto unknown to people.
1) Virtually everything of great traditional importance done in Nembe is done only after inquisition from Arochukwu!
2) The Nembe revere the python! Traditionally the python is most revered of all the cultural symbols. And this was on instructions from Arochukwu after the other symbols of worship failed them. Remember that in one British voyagers account of Bonny he narrated how the Brass people celebrated the "long
juju" of Arochukwu.
3) The Nembe people use a traditional 4 days of the week.
4) Just like the Kalabari many Brass/Nembe refuse to accept they are Ijaws, both young and old. This has brought consternation between they and the Ijaw(Izon) expansionist.
5) Due to their Igbo heritage (likely Arochukwu) the leopard hat (okpu agu) is a permanent feature in Nembe!
6) Egbesu worship which is the heart and core of Izon culture has been observed to be absent amongst the Nembe. The Nembe have distinct beliefs.
7) Many are fluent Igbo speakers.

Ref
SlayerForever

listen man, I can't keep correcting this all the time.
one of your goons said exactly the same trash.
FIRST OF ALL, Africans do not venerate one god but various. it could be foreign or local.
I am a Nembe man and In Nembe we have over 5 sub clans (ogbolomabiri and they worship the black tortoise, bassambiri which worshiped a war god called osain but was sub planted by a prince of bassambiri who went to found his own kingdom Obioku. There is also odioama, there's also ibidi. Each of this town own their parent god and several other deities within each of them. The python called ogidiga is worshipped in a little ancient Hamlet called oroamabiri which is within bassambiri but somewhat autonomous like the Vatican in Rome.
you can't keep saying nonesense or things you don't know about a town you don't even know the location or history about.
SECONDLY; most african people use 4 market days. The seven was borrowed from the Europeans. Other ijaw clans use 4 market days and in my Nembe DIALECT we say 'kaka market days'
YOU SAY EGBESU WORSHIP ISN'T IN NEMBE?
There's a cult in Nembe which uses the left hands to shake and that's EGBESU. they have followers even in my own sub-clan within Nembe as a whole, and it's symbol is the leopard. The EGBESU symbol in the whole ijaw land is the leopard!
Every Nembeian see themselves as an ijoid group but due to the little normal rivalry or disagreement, one can say ' I am not ijaw but I am akassa or Nembe or Bonny'. it is like Greece as a whole, so many City States made their name alone like Athens, Sparta, Crete, and they tend to see themselves as of that city state, but they are Greeks altogether so stop decieving yourself.
many Nembe people are fluent Igbo speakers because of the proximity to the Igbo lands, plus many of them marry Igbo women and tend to work in some areas close to Igbo lands, same as like the western ijaw people are fluent in Yoruba, me I am a Nembe man and I am fluent in Igbo because my mother is Igbo and I schooled in Igbo land, does that make me an Igbo man

Yujin:
All of you claiming a people totally unrelated to you are clowns.
Are you not ashamed to be claiming everywhere that Ijaws lose their language to other languages including a tiny obolo language? For your information, all the languages around the coastal area of southern Nigeria has been understudied and well classified. No history revisionist can tamper with it. We know all Ijaw areas (LGAs) and those they share with others both in Bayelsa and Rivers state. The only LGAs in Rivers state with only Ijaws is Akuku Toru and Asari Toru. The rest that you Ijaws do claim all have other ethnic groups in them. Here are the LGAs shared by Ijaws with other tribes; Okrika, Degema, Ogu/Bolo, Bonny, Opobo/Nkoro and PH. That said, these listed LGAs are totally unconnected to Ijaws namely Abua/Odua, Andoni and all the Ogoni LGAs. In the same manner it has been established that Ijaws occupy exclusively only 4 LGAs in Bayelsa. The remaining four they share with others.

Now unto established patterns that show how a people are heavily influenced linguistically by their neighbours, cross border influences doesn't erode totally a neighbours traditional language. Even military conquest by a smaller group doesn't result to the total erosion of the indigenous language. The most probable reason behind the supplanting of an indigenous language is the invasion by a more populous people in which case the smaller group is easily edged off. This has been confirmed overtime as I'll prove to you.
Ordinary cross border influences see only the borrowing of words, names, customs and festivals. It doesn't change the entire language or even the construction pattern of simple sentences of the original language. This is the most common form of intercultural influence. It exists in almost all border communities. Ijaw Apoi of Ondo state were able to retain the majority of their Ijaw element because the level of interaction with Yoruba groups was minimal compared to the Ijaw Arogbo group who today have been so influenced so much that the language and culture is giving way for Yoruba ones. The reason is simply the level of interaction and intermarriage. Both groups call God Tamara as against the more popular Tamuno but there's no doubt about their original ancestry. Because of their isolation and huge Yoruba group surrounding them, the Arogbo group will be lost entirely in the next two generations. The Apoi group will last longer.
For the Obolo people whom Ijaws called the Andoni, there's no single proof that they were Ijaws who lost there language. First of all, they are not an isolated group because they share boundary with Bonny lga which has a lot of Ijaw communities. Secondly, the current Obolo language is completely distinct from any of the Ijoid languages and is unique in that it's not a dialect of Ibibio nor is it Ekoi but a mixture of both including words from Igbo. How come a distant Ekoi featured in the language but a nearby Ijaw is conspicuously absent? That tells you that the people are a distinct people and not a phantom Ijaw group that lost their language. The Obolos call God 'Awaji/Owaji', which isn't in any way related to Tamuno. Everything about them is clearly distinct from even nearby Ijaw groups yet some clowns come online to claim them. All false claims by Ijaws are currently being visited and dealt with. YouTube is there to help verify the indigenous languages of places.

You all like to talk about what you know nothing about. Onitsha by her virtue of location, language and customs can be hardly related to Benin. Onitsha is at least 40 km radius away from any Benin speaking community. Surrounding her all around are other Igbo groups so it's just pure wonder how you or anyone can claim Onitsha as having her Royalty from Benin. The Ezechima story has been dealt with satisfactorily which tells of a reverse migration. There are many other Onichas in different parts of Igboland. Even in Anioma commuinities closer to Bini where few Bini refugees found refuge still remains Igbo speaking simply because their population was too small to cause any significant change in the language and customs. Onitsha isn't a good example to use when discussing about intercultural influences.

In conclusion, Andoni is not Ijaw nor Ijoid. They are a distinct people with a different language only related to Ekoi/Ibibio. Through history, they were recorded to have interacted with different groups including the Ogonis, Ibibios, Igbos and Ijaws but some how have managed to maintain their unique identity. We are watching all your moves.
You should thank me for schooling you.

REVEALED: Fulani Leaders Are Collaborating With "A Few Greedy
Ijaws" In Seizure Of Lands Belonging To Igbo Speaking Coastal
Biafrans This is to notify the public that a well designed British sponsored
"divide and rule" strategy, carefully being orchestrated through the Fulani Oligarchs, is currently in full implementation at "Opobo, Bonny, Andoni, etc Riverine areas of Biafraland.
First hand informations available to Family Writers Press International reveals that Fulani leaders are conniving with some gluttonous fellows of Ijaw extraction to make claims of lands that originally belongs to Igbo speaking coastal Biafrans.
Any person who is conversant with the history of Biafra restoration journey so far, will not find it strenuous to recall the long efforts of the British, using the Fulani leaders of Nigeria to try denying Biafrans access to the sea. This how the long false claim of "Biafra being land-locked" emanated.
However, it is verifiably clear that places like Ibibio, Opobo, Bonny, Okrika, Ndoki Nembe and Kalabari are inhabited by indigenous Igbo speaking people(Biafrans), and they are bordering the "River Niger". How then do one want to establish that Biafra is land-locked?
It is in a bid to continue propagating this false claim that Britain have adviced the Fulani to move into the above mentioned Biafra Riverine areas and lay claims on the lands belonging to the the indigenes and Igbo's are being forced to speak other language. This is being facilitated now through some greedy Ijaws. Available information confirms that these few gluttonous criminals of
Ijaw extraction have been paid heavily to cajole these riverine indigenous Igbo speaking people of their Igboness, threaten and seize their lands with the help of the Fulani, and pressuring them to deny being Igbos. This is actively going on as we speak. It is worthy to note here that the so called "south-south" region of Nigeria is actually made up majority Igbo speaking indigenous peoples, and minority of non-igbo speaking. But we have also noticed that those paid agents of the Fulani have flooded the internet with fake historical claims, asserting that Igbos are rather a minority in the region. They have also continued the age-long line of telling the Igbos in the riverine area that they are different from the Igbos in the inland area. This is a well sponsored lie, and must be destroyed with truth.
Therefore, we are audibly making this call on all the coastal Biafrans to remain resolute, and become good friends of their history at this critical time. None should yield to the pressure. Do not surrender any inch of your indigenous lands to the Fulanis.
Knowledge they say is power. So we are as well recalling the attention
of all Biafrans and lovers of Biafra to accept the fact, that Igbos are
not "a minority" in the south-south. We adjure all to awake to the need of educating these coastal Biafrans of their true identity. Remind them that the plan is to separate them from their brothers, and make them Fulani slaves forever. Tell them of the "divide and rule" strategy of the enemy, and encourage them to reject it.
United, we stand. But divided, we fall. The enemies know this. And that is why they will stop at nothing in making sure that they keep us divided, while they keep encroaching deap into our boundaries and advancing their efforts to take away our ancestral habitation from us.
South-south is Biafra. And no amount of pressure and lies from the British aided Nigeria Fulani Oligarchs can change that.

Yujin:
Andoni language is Ibiobiod/Ekoid with some Igbo. Ijaw doesn't feature in it so I wonder how you Ijaws find it easy to claim them. YouTube videos abound of the Andonis celebrating their language and promoting it.
It's funny how some of you come to claim them and their remnants in Eastern Obolo (Akwa Ibom state) even going as far as Ibeno- which isn't occupied by Obolo people. I see such claimants as clowns that shouldn't be taken seriously.

the sea at the shoreline is mostly Sandy compared to the one midwards.
sometimes I wonder how you all reason. a people are mostly influenced by their surroundings or elements of their environment. The Western-most ijaws which borders the yorubas have a little bit of yoruboid in their dialect or a little bit of Yoruba elements in behavior,
The Eastern ijaws too absorbed the ibibiod element same as the hinterland ijaw; Ndoki & Opobo who absorbed a little bit of the Igboid Language.
The northern igbos of Enugu, Abakiliki, Nsukka etc absorbed the IGALA element and Hausa element (for abakiliki) the Eastern igbos absorbed ibibiolike elements(I'm talking about the Aros, ikwuano, Ariam, ndoru, nnono etc.
The western igbo tribes like Onitsha etc absorbed the Benin/Yoruba elements; you can see they refer to God as Olisa(Orisa) instead of chi or chukwu like the main igbos. same goes for other Ethnic nations that borders their neighbors but stupidity, daftness, ignorance, dumbness, inability to think or research, low IQ contributed to you Igbo people ignorance.
so please go and inform yourselves.
if I take one of you to go and leave with the fulani's, in no time you would be fulanized!

Every Igbo group you have mentioned speaks Igbo as their native language.

You see groups like Andoni, who speak a lower Delta Cross language with Efik and Ibibio in their Bantoid family have no similarity with Izon, a language and people different from any other language.

IYC and INC is not different from APGA and ANPP. The only difference is that you need 100 hungry people to drink Ogogoro to join.

dude you speak out of ignorance I swear. Andoni are ijoid, yes they have an ibibiod element due to this closeness. we will talk about why Onitsha do not call God chi or chukwu like the other igbos but call God olisa(orisa) you succeeded in dragging them and we will talk about it later.
Andoni is actually idoni-oru and they are of the isedani lineage, and THEY KNOW SO you're a fool I swear. there's this Andoni babe I buy fish from in large quantity and because she knew I'm Nembeian, we also formed a raport, they're slight Language similarities with the other ijaw clans too. take your daftness and swerve. you can not divide us.
