Odepo:
[s]HISTORY of aAbua shows that Abua owns Port Harcourt and not as claimed by the Okrikas and the Ikwerres
Because as a people we relied heavily on oral than written tradition, there is not a large body of documentation on our origin. Nonetheless, scholars have used two theories and linguistic analysis to reconstruct the Abua origin and migration over the centuries. These theories are:
(i) The Delta Cross Movement
(ii) The Benin Empire Migration
The Delta Cross Movement Theory
Traditions relate the history of Abua to the migration or movements of the Delta Cross Speakers. Prominent among these theorists are the linguists and university historians such as Murdock (1959), Nair (1972), Alagoa (1972), Williamson (1987), and Faraclas (1989).
The high point in this set of tradition is that given the language the Abuan’s speak, the people may have migrated from the Bantu heartland and moved downwards to the point where they currently occupy through the eastern Niger delta. The traditions of other people with related languages, the culture of the Abua group and a comparison of the linguistic relationship between the central delta group and her immediate neighbors reinforce their view. Some of these views are presented below:
Nair in his account recorded that Abua was among the seven Efut towns that grew out of the seven Efut settlements. The founders were believed according to him to be an offshoot of the Bantu-speaking peoples. These migrated from the neighborhood of Usha Edit (Rio del Rey) in the Cameroon. They left their original place of residence in a convoy of about seven boats and reached the Nigerian coastline.
In summary, this thesis suggest that Abua migrated from the same place with ancestors of the present day Efiks of the Cross Rivers state and that the group probably arrives where they are now in the late 13th century. This view is strongly supported by similarities in the numbering system of Abua, Efik, and Ibibio. It is also supported by some socio-political similarities; Abua, Efik, and Ibibio among others belong to the broad language group known as Delta Cross. Murdock suggests that these three ethnic groups – Ibibio, Efik, and Abua among others belong to the Bantoid sub-group of the Nigritic family based on linguistic evidence. Similarly, Ejituwu (1991) writing about the Obolo (Andoni) which is also a Delta Cross speaking community, suggested that there was a general movement of the Delta Cross speakers from the upper reaches of the Cross river towards its mouth. The movement may have reached the mouth of the river by about 300 B.C. As population pressures mount at the mouth of the Cross river, various groups of Delta Cross speakers started to look for new rivers and creeks into which to expand. To the east, they found themselves blocked by a cluster of other Bantu-speaking groups who were themselves in the process of expansion; to the west however, lay an area, which while not empty, was more sparsely populated. Accordingly, several waves of migrants traveled along the western creeks, some eventually settling down either in the eastern Niger delta or elsewhere in the delta. According to Ejituwu, the central delta group to which Abua belongs is one of the earliest migrants among these Delta Cross speakers.
Clark (1970) maintained that (i) the possession and use of iron technology and (ii) food production were responsible for the Bantu expansion at the time. With the use of iron technology more food was produced consequently, population soared and competition for space set in. These led to expansion, which was also encouraged by better military hardware produced with their iron technology such as spears, sickles, arrowheads and knives.
In summary, this tradition holds that Abua, Odual, Kugbo, Ogbia among others sometimes referred to as Abua group, migrated from Rio del Ray in the Cameroon through the Cross river to the Niger delta. They settled among other place[/s]

Abagworo:
[s]Abua people are actually Obolo people same as Andoni, Abuloma, Odual and even parts of Bayelsa and Akwaibom. The greater Obolo ethnic group is quite large but dispersed geographically. I've seen some Abuloma people claim Okrika and even Ijaw right here in Rivers State whereas their ethnicity shouldn't be a debate.[/s]

I beg to defer.


Personally when an Edo person speaks pidgin, I usually detect an accent . But I find it hard detecting it when they speak real English

KahlDrogo:
Shut up. Nothing like be careful. That is how all you ipobs reason. Biafra is equivalent to violence and terrorism, so destruction in the SS means the SS is part of biafra.

When someone wakes up to lick the urine of a lunatic, that's how they reason. So stop telling the op to be careful.

Chai, ipobs!!

SmartPolician:
I know one called Iyke; he's an Ikwerre guy. TBH, that guy takes Biafra struggle more seriously than Nnamdi Kanu. He would always gist me about what Nnamdi Kanu says. Mind you, this guy is a graduate.

IMO, most people in the South South are watching the struggle in the hopes that it works. When that happens, they will use the same method the East used to pull out of Nigeria.

[s]Those behind the attacks in Rivers and Akwa Ibom are the locals.[/s]

latitidejavu:
Thank you. Well informed people shouldn't just scroll and pass through this topic. The ignorance spewed all over this thread is nauseating.

Thank you and God bless you. Keep up dispelling all these nonsense of spiritual and curse.

Poster. It is medical condition that is manageable. You don't want to know how many professionals you see everyday going about their normal live but who are on drugs for this condition. Take your brother to Fed Neuropsychiatrist New Haven Enugu

CandyOps:
It's like you want your brothers to go COMPLETELY MAD abi??

You already have proof that medications work to an extent on your younger brother abi? Which other solution do you seek alert from what works already??!

The moment you carry that man into a spiritual home is the moment his madness will go into gear 4.

And deep down inside you, you already know the source of the problem. IT IS HEREDITARY! A.K.A in your blood.

Hello!! You mean to say you went through school and the words 'genetics' never sunk into your head?!

....

You see religion and superstition is really killing African growth. How can a fully grown university educated man seek health solutions from any other place outside a health facility??

And before u start quoting me, just know I also have a cousin who is mentally unstable and suffers from schizophrenia too.

My neighbor had a burst vein in his head from High BP complications and his illiterate mom rushed him to a spiritual home where he went into coma during their spiritual razzmatazz.

Before her head correct it's too late. Nigga was DOA by the time they got to the hospital.

In fact, I believe any religious home that takes on the role of a healthcare provider should be sued and probably even shut down.

...

Here is how the scientific process works:

- You encounter a problem.
- You make guesses/assumptions to what the solution could be & ask questions to the cause of the prob.
- You make guesses using the answers you got. Called a hypothesis. This guess should be something testable. Meaning anyone can replicate the tests.
- Make a prediction from the answers you get
- Now you run some tests on that hypothesis (usually trial and errors while noting what works)
- You come up with more hypothesis
- You know what works to an extent (in your case, drugs) which leads you to making a clearer prediction.

- you test again till you come up with a theory of how to go about such issues in future...

....


Now, over the thousands of years mankind and modern humans have literally done almost all these testing for us and we only have to improve on it. But NO! Not an African man.

An African man will encounter a problem and instead of following the scientific step, he will immediately say to himself, "I need to talk to God about this" or worse, "it looks spiritual. I can't do anything about it if God doesn't do anything about it"

... And just in that moment, all the creative ideas and potential discoveries that could have been made will be cut short!

.....


You see, when we cry over the dangers of superstition in Africa and how it is underdeveloping us Christians and other religious folks will rather put the devil on you by calling Atheist or Apethists (people who don't care about deities) devil worshipers than see reasons with us.

I mean, just imagine what an adult who passed through the 4 walls of a classroom is saying. It's deeper than just getting school knowledge and I don't blame anyone because it is a result of hundreds of years of torture and slavery by the white people who brought on this scam called religion to us

(Don't mistake religion for spirituality or spiritism)

Africans pls plssss stop bowing to the ducking skies and learn to use your heads

The damaging effects of religion is not just found in our healthcare system. It's everywhere. Most especially in our minds. Slavery ducked us up real good. But then we keep ducking ourselves everyday by choosing to remain in the slavery

It's like what Kanye West said in an interview on TMZ that went viral. "400 years of slavery seemed like a choice"

Sorry I'm coming off as harsh but pls I beg you in the name of anything you believe in, DO NOT STEP ONE FOOT into ANY religious home. Well, except you want to dump your bro there for the worse.

And the funny thing is this:

When you let a super-religious person in on the TRUTH about their bullshit they'll always go through these stages:

1. Denial or Ridicule (they deny it or Ridicule it/you)

2. Rejection [they reject it entirely and will become violent towards the source of the information (you) ]

3. Acceptance (they finally begin to see reason)

Which explains why I don't like having a religious convo with anyone. I just listen and nod or zone you off.

And the reason is because I hate being the bearer of bad news. And I hate being at the receiving end of the 3 stages of accepting the truth I listed above.

It's also one of the reasons why the bearer of bad news in the olden days were usually put to death by the King.

Anyone who loses a loved one also passes through those 3 stages before accepting the truth.

First, you ridicule the info.
Then you react violent to oppose it.
Later, acceptance dwells in.

It also explains why most superstitious folks HATE atheist (or rather dispise the people/persons who first told them God don't exist)

And another reason is because it goes against everything you've ever known from birth. In other words, the person is saying you're stewpid.

And no one likes being stewpid

Nope, he's from SS and SS has absolutely nothing to do with IGBOs

Every time there is an Emeka in a crime, no one will remember that NigerDelta people answer Igbo names but if the same Emeka achieves something in international community, idiots like the vulturemeatgriller will remember that Ikwerre people answer Igbo names.

[s]And your pitiful pebble sized brain didn't tell you that it is normal for a small country like Bahrain which has a huge trading balance against the United States, to have a stronger currency than the US? Did this fool even go to school? You're probably one of those idiots who voted the dullard into office.[/s]

Don't mind the fools. Why wouldn't the cost of living in Ghana be higher than Nigeria when the Cedi has more value than the Naira.

[img]https://images./3IhTdUzurxZwH2eJNV0bm1.jpg[/img]

So cost of living in Japan is higher than USA because US dollar is higher than Japanes yen?

No mind them and the funny thing is, most of the police officers in Rivers state are not even from Rivers State.
