Me claim Opobo when and how show me screen shot of me saying that I am from Opobo igbo man.
I am not from Okrika because I show you proof of Okrikans saying that we are ijaws? He pain you die.

Meanwhile enjoy

I still remember vividly. You even claim to be residing in Bonny

Eastlink:
Lol! Dude has become another JuliusMalema. He keeps scoring own goals

Juliusmalema now go with a new moniker. I think TEDHorsePower or something like that. The guys mission here is to break Ndigbo along state lines but how I wish he will understand it can never work because the state physical lines makes it impossible.

Eastlink:
You are not from Okrika. I thought you claimed Opobo before? Haven't you also claimed Bonny? Imposter. You forget yourself easily

I remember him claiming Bonny one certain time.
He is ijaw

Allen102:
You don't care yet you end up saying that Okrika is Okrika lmao! Okrika is an ijaw clan igbo people leave us alone.

That was the title of the thread. If I may ask, what brought Ndigbo into this thing?
Does saying our name make you minor people feel better?
I mean no offence but I don't think Okirika or even Ikwerre is Igbo priority in Rivers.
One thing I managed to learn from this conversation is that no matter how much Ikwerre deny Igbo, they still can't run away from their shadows. This is evident from how you, a supposed Ijaw man see them and your view about them on the PortHarcourt issue

walemoney007:
If only your Igbo brothers didn't create this unnecessary and senseless thread, you won't be going through this stress.

I don't see any stress and the thread didn't mention Igbo in anyway. You people just have an unguided grudge against innocent peaceful Ndigbo that brings nothing but development to less privileged people around them

Without Igboland, Nigeria is a big for Nothing useless entity (Take a look at Niger Republic which is almost times 2 of Nigeria with the same people as Northern Nigeria).
And without the cooperation of Ndigbo it is a lame Giant with broken bones.
Now you understand why calling Nigeria the Giant of Africa is deceptive

Allen102:
The point is you igbos should leave us alone.
We are ijaws not igbo let Okrikan people be.

Went through your shot and I realise that your own problem is about the boundary issue of Port Harcourt. But how does it concern us Igbo people?
I thought we've all agreed that Ikwerre is not igbo, so why bringing us into the boundary issue and even using "Igwu ọcha" for it?
You said Okirika is ijaw and all of agreed that Ikwerre is not Igbo so what concerns us here I ask again?
Incase you've forgotten, the title of the thread is "Okirika is Okirika", no part of it says "Okirika is Igbo"
If you people have issues with Ikwerre people, go and settle it like men and stop dragging us into it

Allen102:
The point is you igbos should leave us alone.
We are ijaws not igbo let Okrikan people be.

Which part of "you can be sea lions if you like" did you not understand?

Allen102:
And this Is my people identity with our ijaw roots!
You igbos are filled with lies tell that Eastlink to post the whole full screen shot.
Meanwhile

Whatever.
Your people, if you are from the place is not my priority.
You can be sea lions if you like

Eastlink:
I could only save these screenshot after a dude posted it on a nairaland thread. I believe there's more to it. The event in question happened last year.

What got me from all the posts from the screenshot is the dude that said the truth
"Ijaw is not a tribe"
It seems people from the place they are grabbing know the truth.

Eastlink:
When someone posted this screenshot some months ago, Captain and the rest Ijaw goons couldn't explain a thing.

The Ijaw INC fifth columnist in Wakrike Facebook group keep instigating anti-Igbo hate claiming Okrika to brainwash the people. But as God will have it, the agenda back fired one lucky day.

Captain aka Theist were you the one that wrote this rubbish up there? What will you guys gain spreading anti-Igbo propaganda in Rivers groups? Imagine someone wake up one morning to post the below trash while maquerading as Okrika.

Had the below lady not stood up to counter the false Ijaw narrative, the rest members would have seen it as truth. This is how these clowns keep downplaying the Okrika people Igbo heritage every given opportunity not unti their hands got burnt this fateful day.

Where is the remaining screenshots of the conversation?

In other words, the Japanese people see far ahead of time

"Imo, Owerri state"
That was how they drew Eastern state maps. They don't even want to know anything about the place but the agenda, "Keep them down for us" by the British

Have any of you ever asked yourself why 7 years after the Anti-independence riot by the Northerners which saw the death of Ndigbo, Yorubas and other Southerners in the North, Britain handed over to Tafawa Balewa of the same North that fought against Independence?
Think about it. All of you are not independent. Nigeria is not independent

Interesting

Black Americans are simply Shameless.
They are the definition of the word

lilvicky68:
It should be benue...
Yam wey tall pass enugu girls..

I doubt. The yam is Igbo breed.
Checked the thread that was on FP and the title have been changed to "Enugu Man"

Meaning the people should play football while he loots to settle his debt

I thought Nairaland people said it was in Benue.
It was on FP hours ago

jimyjames:
Still you are missing the point, I never said the igbos were not related the were related, clans who started of as brothers migrated to different places and settle which it's obvious from the names, but there was no time the igbos came together to say yes this is us igbos as a nation or country like you are insisting on, the colonists finding it hard to control the igbos like the did the yoruba's and Hausa's igala, bini's found a way to unite the igbos they couldn't do it as a unified Mornachy but created chiefdoms and through these chiefs United the igbos holding meetings with them occasionally that's how it happened, such thing was never there, there were different nation and kingdom in what the colonists unified as one, which I gave you example of Onitsha, arochukwu Confederacy

I'm an igbo subgroup of the waawa people in Enugu, read what happened between a man called onyeama which the colonists made him a warrant chief, in one of those meetings he confronted the obi of Onitsha who was regarded as a powerful igbo king in those days and became angry that the obi of Onitsha was sitting on the highest seat of honor in a meeting held in his own domain in Enugu , that's how hard the colonists worked to unite the igbos

Mtcheww.
I can see you didn't my first post. The one that brought this conversation.
You expect me to sit and discuss warrant chief stupidity with you?
Which part of "their establishment signifies the day Ndigbo lost their independence" did you not understand?
Go and learn how Igbo Political organisation was before the establishment of that Abomination
As for that Enugu warrant chief, he has no domain. That place belongs to the people not him. All of them lack the cultural backing for the stupidity they did with British help.
I am done with you

[quote author=viviangist post=106068668][/quote]Startled at the face of real history?
First timers into "Knowledge" always get that.
"Dumb" black People

Nice one my brother Igboid.
I keep telling them that Ubani was the dialect most southern Igboland converted with. That was before some group of porters were dropped off by the European ships, who were later attached to by Brass people. Who later patched themselves with Ogbia and Epie people. Then later started riding on the language of New Calabar, Brass people and History of Igbo people of Ubani.

jimyjames:
And I told you, the phrase ibo country was invented by the colonists there was nothing of such

Then explain how the names of these communities came to place
Odenigbo
Akwukwu-Igbo
Igbo-Ụzọ
Igbo-Ukwu
Igbo-Akiri
ỤmụIgbo
Ama-Igbo
To list a few.
Its better to avoid things you know nothing about than proving it by diving into it. You could have said that the British Created Igbo people like the way Christians say God created Adam and Eve.
The few names I listed above are in the four corners of Igboland. One (Ámá-Igbo) is at the center. I specifically chose them out of the numerous towns having Igbo to their name

IDENNAA:
Who and who were paying tributes to Igala, I hope you are not referring to Anambra towns. Nri settlements and related Anambra communities only paid tributes and homage to Eze Nri. Get your facts right.

And the homage was as a spiritual capital like Mecca and Jerusalem not empire. Nri never ruled anybody.
Better explain it very well to him on time oh before he messes it up

jimyjames:
Can you prove that the igbos were one? My friend the igbos never referered to themselves as a United people, they identified themselves with their clans and kingdoms, the colonists for yrs studied the igbos and discovered their similarities and lumped them together as one anytime they were given reports about them, a man from arochukwu never saw himself as one with someone from Onitsha kingdom these were two different people

I can see you have not been reading my replies. Last paragraph

BKayy:
LOL.
Igbo was a country before they came (this is something you will dig out yourself if you want to know).
Like they said "the people of the river banks have no knowledge of iron smelting, so we have to rely on Ibo country for most of our iron works"

Ever wonder why out of the entire groups in Nigeria, only Igbo have the name of their country attached to most of the community names.

If only Osibanjo can recreate this, one of our problems will be down before 90 minutes

jimyjames:
You are sketching around the main point that igbos were molded together to become one by the colonists, igbo union started with the colonial masters who did everything possible to unite the igbos in a way it will be possible to countrol them like it was in the North and amongst the yoruba's for this singular reason they created the warrant chiefs, this are facts as long as igbo unity is concerned the colonists made that happen

Igbo Union started when Ndigbo found themselves in Nigeria.
In Igboland, there is no basis for Igbo Union, so such never existed. This is one problem Ikwerre people have with Ndigbo. To them they see it as a big deal that Igbo union exists in Ikwerre land but not in any other part of Igboland.
As for Ndigbo being mould together, it is total Fallacy. Can you prove it?
The British trader with Ndigbo for decades before they invaded in 1850. They never met Igboland and invaded the same year. Do your research
In all those years, they said what they saw which is "Ibo country"
And please whenever you want to talk about Igbo history, resist the temptations of involving war and conquests because unlike you Nigerians, it is not part of our culture or history. It rarely happens.
Igbo country was an economic hub with commercial activities. All European Powers that visited it like the Portuguese noted it (Portuguese came 300 years before Britain)

Igbo history is described by the main Business Ndigbo controlled. Like Nri, Arọ Confederacy was based on spirituality and Business alone not conquests.

jimyjames:
You are missing the point
Ibo country was a phrase the colonists used to mold the igbos into one piece they were never one, arochukwu Confederacy was like a country of its own, Onitsha was like a kingdom of its own, other smaller clans were under the igala kingdom paying tributes to them, other clans were under the bini empire paying tributes to them, the white man was the one that toured the entire region and discovered their similarities in linguistic and culture then molded them in one piece as an igbo country

Go back to my first reply, it answered your question.
It answered your question. Igala never ruled any part of Igboland (all those things are make believe history) though I won't doubt that there are Igala people in Igboland whose circumstances of being here is never if that of Conquerors but otherwise. If you know any Igala historian, beg him to tell you about Mgbo clan, Ezza, Nike and obolo.

Igala also lacked the knowledge of metal smiting, It was their encounter with Nike that Igala understood what Iron signifies in warfare. Till date, they are still scared of them. Metal works got to Igala land through Aguleri axis, courtesy of Awka Black smiths.
Bini only had influence over Ika and nothing more. Ndigbo, especially Awka people are still in far away Akoko Ẹdo, Etsako and Esan. Ask the indigenes

The two countries you listed are close to what we can call a nation unlike this contraption. Infact they are one if the few in Sub-saharan Africa.
Botswana is made up of almost 80% Tswana People
Namibia has Ovambo as the dominant people.

If you want to know the Problem of Nigeria, look at the foundation. Nigeria was never meant to exist.

jimyjames:
There was no unified igbo identity, the colonial masters were the one's that molded that igbo identity and lumped it into one piece, igbos were not one, clans fought each other and enslaved each other , the colonial masters did the igbos more good than harm in that aspect

LOL.
Igbo was a country before they came (this is something you will dig out yourself if you want to know).
Like they said "the people of the river banks have no knowledge of iron smelting, so we have to rely on Ibo country for most of our iron works"

Ever wonder why out of the entire groups in Nigeria, only Igbo have the name of their country attached to most of the community names.

jimyjames:
On the bold, the British did the igbos more good than harm in that aspect , cause they helped unite the igbos under one ethnicity if they didn't do that, today we wouldn't be here talking of Ndigbo as one , rather we would be talking about arochukwu, Onitsha, wawa Anioma, Ngwa, , Ezza, Ibeku, Ohuhu, Ikwerre, the Ogba, the Omuma, the Ohafia, the Obigbo, Mbaise, Ekpeye etc as different tribes and ethnic groups, even with that you see how the ikwerre's ika's and some anioma's are pulling out of the Union.

No.
They spotted for difference where there was none. They were the ones that created such consciousness.
They explored to bring out what will divide than unite. Read about accounts from people that met Igboland before the useless warrant chiefs. Igboland was known as a country were any can migrate and be assimilated into another, that's why almost all paid no attention to history of founding of the settlements. So far you can adhere to the rules the settlements, you are indigene.
Warrant chief imposition was exactly where the Bini mania started because when it was introduced, their was no regalia, style or insignia for kingship in Igboland, so to make it appear like one, the closest (oba of Bini) was copied. Now what is the result? The warrant chiefs claiming ancestry from the Bini and trying to impose it on the land and People they were imposed on eg Ọgba, Ọmụma, Ekpeye etc
What Britain attempted to do was to create feudal Lords who will be interested in fighting others for power but it didn't work. Their warrant chiefs were more interested in oppressing, over taxing and marrying lots of women than power. So they abolished it but the consciousness have been sown. That's why the places (Ika, Ikwerre etc) you mentioned rely on one man today to decide who they are despite glaring clues. If they were still practicing Igbo Republican System, one man denying his identity won't matter because it will be believed that his own is the one that is not than the entire group.
Do you now understand it?

andy244:
Zik was so selfish and did nothing for anyone. I hate him with passion.

I am not sure that man knows anything about Nnamdi Azikiwe.
He should have asked himself why during Endsars, when other regions like SW and SS were burning Police/Sars Facilities, Ndigbo were busy Burning Nnamdi Azikiwe's Statues.

I told you guys.
Remember I told y'all that the reason Miyetti Allah and the Northern Cabal are silent is because they know that all of you southern Ignoramuses lack the Capacity to enforce the Anti grazing bill.
What if you apprehend a defaulter, what are you going to do?
Who will apprehend him in the first place?
Who is at the top of the security outfit enforcing the ban?

These are simple questions that will guide you through the Blue film we are all about to witness.
They will release pictures where they will catch Herdsmen and also where they will auction their cows but don't be deceived, all those are Stunts. They lack the Capacity to do shit until power is decentralised from Buhari's Bedroom.
