Sen. T. Orji brought Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu.

Is history about to repeat itself in Abia State?

Abia state is being ruled by Efiks/Ibibios. That is the only viable reason for the backwardness of that state.
No true Igbo man, let alone a native Abia man, will leave that state the way it is.

Tinubu the ace Yoruba tribalist. You cannot rule Nigeria. Go back to your village (Lagos) and dominate your tribesmen. We don't need you at the national level

sinteiking:
Since His Majesty king (Dr.) Dandeson Douglas Jaja JP, Jeki V, Treaty king, Amayanabo of Opobo has affirmed his Ijawness, the debate is over.

"Opobian is Ijoid" so says the His Majesty king (Dr.) Dandeson Douglas Jaja JP, Jeki V, Treaty king, Amayanabo of Opobo

Shut up there !!!

Is he the only citizen of Opobo?

That he is King does not matter because any body can be King in Nigeria provided you have the right connections with government. eg Government connection made Nnamdi Kanu a prince.

And since the Ijaws allied with Fulanis control government in Nigeria, what do you expect the poor man to do?

The legendary King Jaja of Opobo was an Igbo man. His Kingdom is an Igbo kingdom. The citizens of Opobo speaks Igbo so bleep off to Sierra Leone and go meet your brethren you M16agents of the British.

Igboid:
True.
I have mentioned about the lack of strong and informed Political leadership that reasons beyond eating, drinking, sleeping with akwuna, and stockpiling funds in tax havens and buying properties in Europe and North America with public funds, in Igboland.

We need a strong Political leadership fully invested in strategic issues affecting Ndiigbo as a people in all five SE states and beyond as governors of five SE states!

Any push for Igbo independence that doesn't start with first and foremost hijacking through the ballots the Political leadership of Igboland from councillors to Senate and Governors, is a waste of time and scam.

I have told IPOB people this severally.

I had once had the privilege of being with a state house of assembly member in one of Igbo states, and I raised some of these issues.
To my surprise, not only was these man totally unaware of these issues, he had zero interest in them.
All he wants is money, women, drink! That's all that tickles his fantasy.
You can't have such people representing your Political interests, and you are talking about Buhari and NIGERIA, when you haven't done your home work and cleanup your home mess.

IPOB members and ALL Igbo politicians are all members of a cult.

Bkayyy:
@ emboldened to trigger my ego to prove you wrong thereby helping you with the history and facts about Osu?

Sorry, I'll pass. Ego manipulation doesn't work on me

You are not only knowledgeable

infact you are a walking ENCYCLOPEDIA.

Megalomania!!!!!

Ignoramus extraordinaire!!!

Keep your knowledge to yourself please.

I know where to source my knowledge from

Thank you very much �����

Bkayyy:
Mr donborg, this is the last time I will quote you. Take your Anti-IPOB online war to one of your threads.

This thread is for Bonny and Opobo.

If you believe that you can somehow turn Ndigbo against themselves and also turn Igbo, Efik and Ibibio against each other then you are welcome to try your luck.

You are not the first and won't be the last to try such. Your predecessors failed so try to surprise us this time

WTF!!!!!!

Damn you !!!!

ThickSharon123:
You're still the clown, don't you rest ...gosh!! I'm enjoying the show, bring more so we can laugh.

You are inebriated with alcohol.

Get sober and come debate with me, dullard

Bkayyy:
Now you want me to explain Osu to you so that you can continue your fight against IPOB. Lol.

Nigerian zoo animals sef. I want you to continue like this so that any Igbo man that read it will know that you know nothing about Osu, Aro and Igbo culture

Mehn go and sit down

You simply don't know anything hence your empty boasts!

I don't have time for your likes

Bkayyy:
If one reads from this post to all you have posted, he will realise that you have serious mental illness.

Just read them yourself. From Akamkpa (Ejagham) to Efik and now this.

If you must lie/make things up, learn to remember your last lie

mtchew

Bkayyy:
Mtcheww... Find something else to waste your time on.
I can remember your first hilarious post about this imaginary Aro thing, it was all about raising a stigma on Aro in the Igbo nation in a bid to dissociate Ndigbo from IPOB. This propaganda business doesn't suit you.

See how ridiculous you sound because you thought Nnamdi Kanu was Aro.

Anyways let me burst your bubble, Nnamdi Kanu is Ibeku not Aro.

No knowledge is a waste

Have you heard of OSU before?

They can be found all over Igbo land except Arochukwu, Abiriba, Edda and Ohafia.

Historically, the OSU are said to be Arochukwu property, having been cursed by the Ibini Ukpabi agent native doctors, especially during the slave trade era.
After the British stopped the slave trade, these OSU were never assimilated back into the Igbo society as they were said to be cursed and they sabotaged the Biafran war because of this rejection, according to Prof Ignatius Ebbe in his book, Broken Back Axle. He also said they became the top politicians after the war.


Orji Uzor Kalu is said to be an OSU. If that is true, then Kanu could be an OSU because Orji Uzor Kalu appointed Kanu's father as traditional ruler of Afara Ibeku in Umuahia.

But the main reason I mentioned Kanu is because he uses the Ibibio juju shrine Ibini Ukpabi and Chukwuokike abiama to initiate members into IPOB.

Now since Ibibios do not support Biafra, does it make sense to use their deity to seek for Biafra?

remember that it was this Ibini Ukpabi that was responsible for condemning Igbo freeborns as slaves and OSU

Bkayyy:
I wonder the kind of issues Ijaw people are developing with Aro in modern history. Is it because your ancestors worshipped them?

My dear you can't change peoples identity.

Now to the main question, who exactly are the Igbos you are alleging that Aro tricked?

The ARO tricked all IGBOs. ALL OF US.
We never knew their tricks until the British came and exposed them as FRAUDs.

That is why during the British/Aro war, no single Igbo community supported the Arochukwu people except their brethren at Abiriba, EDDA, Ohafia and Abam , unlike during the Ekumeku war in Western Igbo, where dozens of Igbo communities united in war against the British

Bkayyy:
LOL. What exactly is this thread about if Ijaws have no interest in Igbo (Opobo and Bonny) history?
Your aim is for us to help you blackmail Aro so as to hide your pitiable Ijaw history as people that worshipped Arochukwu People.

Imagine Ijaw asking for Igbo help to fight a fellow Igbo. Wonders shall never end.

Now who exactly are the Igbos?

Someone mentioned Aro migration route here and I pointed out a few things to him.

Stop generalizing and be more specific.

What concerns Ijaw with pointing out that Aro were not true Igbo people, but Efiks who adopted Igbo names and customs to sell 5 million Igbo slaves and made millions others OSU slaves dedicated to their shrines all over Igbo land?

Ijaw people are greedy land grabbers and ethnic cleansers. They are a very wicked group of people but a lack of clear Igbo hierarchical political structure is the primary cause of the success of their evil actions on Igbo.

When they tried their land grabbing scheme on the Itsekiris, the Itsekiris allied with their Yoruba brethren to deal with them.


Bonny Igbos do not have that luxury because unlike the Yorubas, we have never had a clear hierarchical political structure in all our history

Bkayyy:
This shows you don't even know Efiks at all.

According to Prince Bassey Duke in 1917 "The Efiks were originally Ibo descendants. They came from Mbiak Creek in Ibibio country."

E shock you?

You weren't specific.

When the Efiks were in Arochukwu, they were one people with the Ibibios and it was then called Obong okon ita and Ibom isii. This happened centuries before the arrival of the Eze agwu group from Abiriba.

The Efiks fought with the Ibibios and the Ibibios won and sent them out of Ibom isii. They then migrated to Calabar.

Bkayyy:
LOL. You just like contradicting yourself.

Now no more Akamkpa but Akwa Akpa.

Lol. Ijaw people sef. You guys always justify the stereotype that you were all savages.

Quick fact, Akamkpa and Duke Town Calabar are not of the same ethnicity. One if Ejagham while the other is Efik.
And Efik history tells that they migrated after the establishment of Aro not the other way round. An account of their history tells of migration from Arochukwu.

Efik migrated from Aro?

where is your proof?

Bkayyy:
Mtcheww... I don't know the kind of brain you Ijaw people have.

You could as well, post one of the thousands of Ijaw blogs that claim Bonny and Opobo to end the debate in the thread.

I can post hundreds blogs from Nigeria that claim all clans of Igboland belonging to different minority tribes. We have one that says Nri is Igala, another that says Western Igboland (Anioma) is Bini and now, your joke of a page. Lol

When you are done fooling yourself, return to reality.

Who told you I am Ijaw?

Do Ijaw have a good interest of Igbo at heart to tell us about our past history?

Grow up brother. Aro who sold Igbo as slaves do not love Igbo more than the Ijaws. So be wise.
Ijaw are land grabbers allied with the Hausa Fulani to take over Igbo land, while the Aro are responsible for the present cold war between the OSU and the Diala freeborn culminating in the OSU betrayal of the Igbo during the Biafran war, according to Prof Ignatius Ebbe in his book Broken Back Axle.

Igboid:
Nope. The Akpa in this story are not Efiks.
No Efik bear the name Akuma.
Thank you.

You are mistaken.

Read Abiriba history.

Aro are a very cunning people.

If they could rename the Ibini Ukpabi shrine to Chukwuokike abiama to the Igbos in order to make Igbo travel a very long distance to the shrine, what stops them from naming themselves using Igbo names and abandon their Efik and Ibibio names?
Remember they are trilingual which could be used flexibly as an asset

Igboid:
Stop writing nonsense.

Aro has two major lineages. The Nnachi and Ezeagwu lineage. Then the Akuma lineage which had come from Akpa(an ancient Igbo race that lived in Cross River).

Aro Never had to adopt Igbo name, they were always Igbo speaking, even Akuma is an Igbo name.
Move on!

Have you researched Abiriba history?

What of Edda history?

Do more research brother.

Akpa is not an ancient Igbo race. Akpas are Efiks from Calabar

https://www.google.com/url?q=http://igbohistory..com/2015/10/abiriba-history.html%3Fm%3D1&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiLvsaaxqr1AhVBLewKHfS_DIUQFnoECAEQAg&usg=AOvVaw2R3m-JUcLYQP1kvmavKhIA

This is Abiriba history.

Bkayyy:
LOL.
Three clans make up Aro with the indigenous Ibibio.
They are Ezeagwu (most populous)
Nnachi (The ruling clan)
And Akpa (Igbo clan from across the river just like Isobo in modern Cross Rivers state)

I know tomorrow when we take over your village with the help of Isobo or Ikwo both in Crossy Rivers state, your descendants will start ranting centuries later that Isobo is Isoko while Ikwo is Ikwerre

Twist of the weak.

Don't get it twisted bro. Wisdom is needed to understand the Aro.

The Aro were way very smart people. How many tribes get to sell 3 million slaves from a group of people without conquering them?

1) The Eze agwu you mentioned migrated from Akwa Akpa (Duke town, Calabar) to Abiriba down to Arochukwu. They are Efiks with Igbo names

2) Nnachi Ipia the native doctor migrated from the same Akwa Akpa to Edda down to Arochukwu. He was the one who called on the Akpa King to supply guns and the warriors Osim and Akuma Nnubi to finish off the Ibibios. All are Efiks with Igbo names.

The remaining were the Ibibios under the prince Akpakpokpa who supported the Aro. They live at Ibom isii


Now it is important to note that the Efiks are more closely related to the Ibibios than to the Igbos, so why would the Efiks support pure Igbo strangers over Ibibios?

Bkayyy:
Remember to take your medicine after your display of stupidity.

There are still Igbo clans in Cross Rivers if you can't differentiate the name Akpa from Akamkpa. Emergency quack online historian.

When next you lie, try to make it believable. Tomorrow people like you will say that Isobo in Cross Rivers are not Igbo but Isoko or Ikwo is Ikwerre.

Read widely monsieur encyclopedia.
Nnachi ipia came from Edda, did you read Edda history?
Eze Agwu came from Abiriba, did you also bother to also research Abiriba history?
Abiribas are more truthful, explicit and detailed in their historical data, unlike the cunning Aros.
Abiriba people say they are from Calabar. They don't tell you Akpa, or Akwa Akpa or akamkpa.

USE YOUR HEAD

Bkayyy:
You've forgotten that this your handle is supposed to claim Igbo. You Ijaws can't hide yourselves for long.

Ijaw were known in history as cannibals that love their entire lives on canoe. They have no notable town or kingdom plus, they don't trade.

When Baikie came to Nigeria to negotiate for renewed trade with England, he negotiated with all civilised nations apart from Ijaw because they don't trade. The concept of money is alien to them.

Igbos are also cannibalistic. Read G T Basden book Amongst the Ibos of Nigeria.
Now since the Ijaws do not trade with any one, that means they do not trade in Ivory, understand?

jos are IGBOs, pure and simple!!!!

Igboid:
Documents speaks of Jos (Izon) in the territories of Sobous( old name for Urhobo and Isoko).
This is just about the first place the Ijaws arrived in, in Nigeria, from where they spread.
This is why those Ijaws in Kolokuma areas claim to be the original home of Ijaw.
That's where your Sierra Leone ancestors first arrived.

jos mentioned were Igbos. Ijaws have never been cannibalistic as they had no need to. They were fishermen. Also the Ijaws do not trade in Ivory nor slaves.

Igbos on the other hand do not have enough protein for our large population, hence resorted to cannibalism to get the much needed protein.
G T Basden, a missionary stated this in his book Amongst the Igbos of Nigeria

Crazybeard:
Lol...
You need to update.

First you said no early account of Ijaws,then Ijaws came from Sierra Leone bla bla bla

As far back as the 15th century,the sold slaves.

Ijaws were never cannibalistic and had no need to because they had an abundance of fish

According to G T Basden in his book Amongst the Ibos of Nigeria, Igbos suffered from a chronic lack of protein in our diets in relation to our large population, hence resorts to cannibalism in order to augment their meals. Even dead carcasses were not spared

Igboid:
Nope. The Akpa in this story are not Efiks.
No Efik bear the name Akuma.
Thank you.

The Aro bear Igbo names but they also tell you they are Akpas from Akwa Akpa (Calabar).
This means that they adopted the Igbo names to hide their identity which is Efik. This they did in order to aid them in assimilating into Igbo hinterlands to easily acquire slaves for sale.

Another instance was the Ibini Ukpabi shrine.
The Aros were smart enough to market the shrine not as the shrine of Ibini Ukpabi, but that of CHUKWUOKIKE ABIAMA. In order words most Igbo who went there never knew that the name of the shrine was truly Ibini Ukpabi

Crazybeard:
These are fifteen century account and it trump's that of the British that was made in the 19th century.

Before then,there was no influx of Igbo slaves into Bonny.

Ijaws do not trade in Ivory. And Ijaws cannot be cannibalistic because they have an ample supply of a rich source of proteins in fishes from the river.

Igbos on the other hand are well known traders in Ivory. According to G T Basden in his book, Amongst the Ibos of Nigeria, Igbos were cannibalistic. This cannibalism is caused by the chronic lack of PROTEINOUS food like meat and fish compared to the very large population of the Igbo.

This means that the JOS are IGBOs, PURE AND SIMPLE

DubaiLandLord:
On top Nairaland abi

Don't worry. We will soon give you Ijaw land grabbers the treatment Itsekiris gave you guys. very soon

GreatBoss:
Nengi is a unisex name both male and female can answer it.

Nengi of BbNaija from Bayelsa.

She is from
Nembe-Ijaw Subgroup,
That carries both Brass nd Nembe LGA people.

The present Chairman Asari Toru LGA Kalabari-Ijaw is also Nengi by name.

The present Chairman Bonny LGA Ibani-Ijaw is also Nengi by name and u say Bonny is Igbo.
If them born una well come Bonny, come talk this nonesense.

Bonny belongs to the Igbo.

No be only one Ijaw name go make Bonny turn to Ijaw.

GreatBoss:
You can say whatever u want to say online, all I know is that, if una reach Bonny nd say this kind of thing.
That will be una last minutes on earth concerning what we will make una face.
Foolish people.

Shameless land grabbers, ethnic cleansers and genocidists.

I love how Itsekiri people dealt with you guys when you came to drag Warri with them

Shameless people

GreatBoss:
As stupid as u are, I'm from Bonny.
What my father and grandfather told me is my history, not some useless Ibo on Nairaland.
All Ibani people are all Ijaws.
Go to hell and first stop calling fellow ibos outcast.
We don't have useless cultures like Ibo.
That have no regard and value for woman.

Post civil war Ijoid bonny indigene.
How many native Bonny Igbo did you eliminate and take over there lands and properties before saying Bonny is Ijo?

Igboid:
When you read Aro history.
You would be told that when the war became strong, Aro people called for the help of Akpas, a group who no one know their true origin today but is believed to have lived in Cross River State , the Akpas it was who turned the tide of war in favor of the Aros.
But look at the name of the leader of the Akpa warriors: AKUMA. That's a typical Igbo name that Igbos still bear until today.

My rational analysis is that the Akpas were likely part of the same Igbo Entourage as Aros who passed through Cross River on their journey to Arochukwu, but while the Aros completed the journey, the Akpas settled along the way in Cross River and became an independent group there and maybe retained their contact with their Aro brothers, who contacted them when they were in need.

Akpas are from Akwa Akpa. Akwa Akpa is the old name of Duke town in Calabar. Since the natives of Calabar are Efiks, it then means the Akpas are Efiks/Ekois.

Igboid:
Ututu is not an offshoot of Arochukwu.
They are independent group of their own, but as expected, they are related to Arochukwu.

I have a hypothesis that the Igbo came to our current location through a Northern direction.
But at Kogi, there was a split. One group took the direction of Edo and the other took the direction of Benue and then Cross River.
The groups that took Edo direction gave rise to the Indigenous Igbo tribes in Anioma, those who took Benue direction ended up in Ikwo, Ezza,Izzi. Those who took Cross River direction ended up forming Bende, Arochukwu, Ututu,Ohafia, Abiriba.
Others moved straight from Kogi to Anambra River area and formed the Nri and Nsukka groups.
All these groups now kept pushing down until they all met each other again within Abia and Imo state.
Kept pushing until they reached the coasts (Bonny).
I believe during these journey, many Igbos were left along the way, and they settled with their non Igbo neighbors and lost their Igbo language.

When you listen to Abiriba, Bende history, you hear of origin from Cross River direction, yet the name of their ancestors were all Igbos.
For example the ancestor of Abiriba was called "Nnachioke"
So I came to the conclusion that these ancestors were Igbos on the move who had to pass through non Igbo territories, settled amongst them, acquired wives and friends from there who joined in their journey, until they settled to where they are currently stationed. They also in typical Igbo manner acquired cultural practices of these people.


That's my rational explanation of the Igbo migration and the irreconcilable stories of ancestors who were said to be Edo, Cross River, Igala , etc, yet all bore Igbo names and have their descendants speaking Igbo.

Arochukwu, Abiriba, Edda, Abam and Ohafia are Akpas (Efiks/Ekois) from Akwa Akpa, the old name of Duke town in Calabar. They speak 3 languages, Efik, Ibibio,and Igbo. They also observe the Ekpe secret society rituals under the Obong of Calabar till date.

See the summary of their history here:
