When do ibos start living on water?, can they swim?, do they have any history of being fishermen?. Have they ever traded with the European on the sea?, have they ever fought on water?. So why are they claiming the ocean bodies of Bonny and Opobo?.
The kings of Bonny and Opobo bear the ijaw title of Amayanabo. Jaja of Opobo was an ibo slave purchased by ijaw merchants to work as a slave. The nickname Jaja was an ijaw name given to him to embrace him into the royal house. Ibos were captured from the hinterlands and sold as slaves in Bonny, many would then settle after abolishment of slave trade while others migrated to present day bonny.

is there any people that live on water?

Continue living in fool's paradise!
When a people fail to recognize and deal with their problems, they're bound to continually suffer from that problem.

Some of you fellow Igbos like to delude yourselves that you're better than every other tribe in Nigeria, but when you come to igboland, you'll discover that there's nothing to write home about. With the level of lawlessness and debauchery in our land, we're not better than any other tribe.

In my post which you quoted, I made it clear how our ladies make up the bulk of prostitutes in Nigeria, you should have tried to investigate that before coming to lie to the public that our ladies are the best thing after slice of bread. If you're not ashamed of that menace of prostitution among Igbo ladies, I am! That is why I'll continue to bring it to the fore until our leaders do the right thing.

Probably, your mother is one of the bulk of those pro***tes. That's why you didn't see where I said you are probably a self loathing reprobate. Mr son of a prosti**the, stop mentioning me.

Jman06:
You are lying!

I'm an Igbo guy and I hate Igbo ladies for their greed that can make them marry even an armed robber provided he has money to throw around. Igbo ladies have lost the virtures our mothers were known for.

Almost all the Nigerian ladies who are into prostitution are Igbos! That is not something to be proud of.

No. you are not Igbo. You are probably a self loathing reprobate with incredible low self esteem and inferiority complex, clinging unto Igbos for self validation and superior social identity.

I see a fool with a loading premium tears.

Another Obi lunatic on the loose. Inasmuch as you guys continue to make Peter Obi's political success your aspiration, failure, shame and disgrace will continue to be your portion.

I do not and will never mince words in saying who Obi is- a failure without integrity who is being white washed.
Tinubu is a huge failure but the only people Tinubu zombies are winning are Obidients. There is a reason for that.

Topman7:
Nkechi and Kemi just left the thread.

RemoveIgbo girls name from your s*lly insecure mouth. Igbo guys don't fight with their ladies and they don't forget their women. It's Yo**ba guys that live with the feeling of self inadequacy and perpetual antagonism of their female gender, hidden under the appellation of "Nigerian girls". This is owing to their history of rejection by sundry women.

Haha

What is happening in Rivers State might lead to declaration of state of emergency by the president.Similar to what happened in Ekiti when President Obasanjo declared emergency rule during Fayose's tenure.

can you tell us how they are related?

I see

Splashme:
Nigeria must stop building rice Mills everywhere.

The country needs investment in Rice farms and not Rice Mills

Most of the rice Mills across the country including Lagos owned Imota Rice Mill are not functional because of absence of enough rice paddy.

The country needs farms not Mills
.

yea. We should stop having rice mills because the silly and incompetent Lagos governor invested billions in a rice mill without actual rice to process. Narrow-mindedness should be a mental disorder.

This is kind of rubbish nairaland mods push to front-page?

What happened to their coal city shuttle service of over ten years?

What is their obsession with hotels?

Putinofrussia:
Leave gdp alone.
It is recently that Anambra gdp is bigger than Oyo and it is due to oil and gas and saviness of govs.
Oyo has had a bigger gdp than Anambra for ages.
Gdp rises and falls.If Anambra can maintain the growth of it's gdp for a long period.I will give them kudos.
In Nigeria,IGR is a suitable index to measure the stability of a state.
All those states...Oyo,Ogun etc are liable to be dependent on their IGR than Anambra that is stuck on the feeding bottle of the FG of Nigeria.
Nigeria has bigger gdp than South Africa but South Africa is a sought after nation than Nigeria.

So much delusion in a single post.
Anambra's main oil and gas fields are untouched. The little derivatives it's getting since about a year ago are proceeds from an oil field in Anambra previously counted for Delta state in error.

IGR is a suitable index for measuring the stability of a state? Pls explain this (if you can)

Also help with data when Oyo had a higher GDP than Anambra.

Anambra depends of federal government? How does a state with higher GDP depends on the FG and a state lower GDP doesn't since GDP determines IGR potentials?

Again, do you really believe IGR figures being brandished by SW governments, at least when you compare them with the volume of public expenditure of south east governments that claim lower IGR?

Who told you Nigeria has a higher GDP than South Africa?

GDP should be forgotten in place of IGR? Seriously, you guys are comedians

Like I said, so much delusion in one post.

Her message has reached the right quarters.

Dpharisee:
Ukachukwu brothers promised to deal with that land grabber transferring his trade from Rivers to Abuja. Very soon Fubara will do what Ganduje did to Kwankwaso to Wike by making sure he spends his days in Abuja and not Portharcourt

they will start dealing with him from Rivers state.

Every time same old story.
Yet some government agencies keep making this a port of clearance and inspection while Onne is available.

RIP to her

Wike is done for

It is called Egwusi- Onugbo.

Likewise Ogbono soup prepared with bitterleaf is called Ogbono-Onugbo.

A jobless man is teaching business excellence to a multi billionaire businessman.

Only in Nigeria!

LegendHero:
Mike Adenuga na legend!

—Came into the market and instantly crashed the price of SIM cards
—Before Glo, they used to say back then that per seconds billing is impossible for the next 10 years. Glo demolish that and initiated the per seconds billing that revolutionized the industry

And what was the end?

Globacom as a business is a failure by all standards. They managed their fortunes poorly and failed to offer competitive services despite having an infrastructure headstart.

Don't compare it with airpeace that has beaten all odds of Nigerian business environment to remain strong.

SS777:
Igbo own no territories in south south,stop the attachment.

this two weeks shadowy account has come to quote me.

garfield1:
What is more embarrassing is when someone from outside an area blindly argues about an area he is not from with the indigenes of a subject area

expecially when the person is telling you hurtful truths and providing you facts that you can't disprove. You want to hide under " indigene" to console.

First it was that they don't accept to be called Igbo ( who ever told you that) therefore I will not count them as Igbo. Lol 🤡 clown

Second it was that they are not gazetted as Igbos therefore I will not count them as Igbos. I wonder when government start creating ethnic groups.

You third excuse now is that I am not an indegene. You are practically begging me to stay off the issue so that you'll be free to make wild and self consoling claims about the so called South South.
Are you aware that when Obi wali wanted Rivers state to be in the south East, Riverine groups agreed? 🤡 clown.

garfield1:
Thanks for the rubbish.bye

Ouch!!! It pained him. It happens when one's agenda gets bursted so embarrassingly.

Pepperdemisback:
[b] Religion is Religion and Tradition is Tradition [/b]You just dive into a place and start doing things without consultation.
I heard there are some places in Igbo land where you don't kill pythons.
There are some lands where everything you utter comes to pass. But they go there acting and swearing for each other, some saying bad things had happened to them in these movies.
He was revived, I think the Community refused him to be taken away from the river side until they perform rituals to the River Goddess and that's how he died.
If someone tells you this, you might think twice about the role or take precautions.
Even the Bible says "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar". That's their territory, God gave it to them. If any fish trespasses into our own territory too, we kill, boil, fry and eat them.

Actually you are wrong. Religion is tradition and tradition is religion. Igbo tradition is omenani and it's a religion. Jewish tradition is Judaism and it's a religion.

Ibadansun1:
They are not similar even the slightest way.

The only similar thing they have with Bini is the royalty.

Ishekiri are yorubiod group bearing Yoruba names with culture similar to riverine yorubas like Ilaje and ikale.

Sola, Ayo, wumi are Ishekiri names.

When Ishekiri talks, an Ikale, ijebu and Ilaje man clearly understands what he or she is saying before any Benin man can understand.

liar! Itshekiri has now turned from having a yoruboid language (whatever that means) to being a yoruboid group (another meaningless expression)

For the records, Itshekiri doesn't even speak Yoruba. They speak a language that sounds Yoruba but their culture such as dance, food and dress is Edo.

I don't know when you started claiming Itshekiri beyond sharing a similar language.

Ibadansun1:
When on earth did Ishekiri became Ediod group?

I mean they don't even have similar language.

depends on how similar you ajudge the language, but yes they have similar. Every other aspect of the their culture such as food, music and dressing are most related to Edo than any other tribe.
