This is another beautiful piece of history.
So in 1905 Opobo was Igbo
In 1925 Opobo was also confirmed igbo by a newspaper publication
Yet, in 2022 while Opobo still speak igbo till date and continue practice a largely igbo culture, Bayelsa boys are claiming relationship today.


I think Egwanga there refers to Igwuocha, the former name for the current Portharcourt.

OfoIgbo:
Odikwa egwu.

So the Alagoa-forged Amandiokari should now be used to replace records written down by multiple European neutral observers, who got their information from Bonny elders of the 17 and 1800s.

Ask Alagoa to refer us to any records by even one single neutral European observer/historian of the 1700 or 1800s who ever mentioned that Ndoki people were Ijaws, or that Amandokiari was the full name of the Ndokis, and you will meet a resounding silence.

SaintBishop:
And Okrika is still an ijaw subgroup in Wikipedia till now.With the way that Eastlink, SlayerForever's and all these Igbo people were chest beating,you will think they will have taken this their chest beating and put it where their mouth is and change Okrika people from an ijaw Subgroup to an Igbo own on Wikipedia. It seems like these Igbos are just empty barrel after all.

Alabo7978:
lol this my man.
I knew you were shocked when I was TEACHING YOU YOUR OWN LANGUAGE you were trying to bend to suit your narration.
I like how you avoided it to begin showing me writings based on the FIRST EXPEDITION ALL-OVER AGAIN!!!
seems we are just going in circles and I'm not ready for that kpa-kpa'ngolo with you, nevertheless I will clear you one more last time about the expeditions. do well to research.

Alabo7978:
you no fit decieve me brother man.
puta- come out
okpu- crown or cap
oputa'ibeya not opu ta Ibe ye

a person who comes out to help his mate in Igbo is _onye'n'aputa nzoputa ibeya or onye'nyem'aka not that nonesense you're trying to conjure up there to suit your narrative.

okpu-agu leopard cap not opu.

the community crown is greater than wealth is okpu obodo ka'uba
but If you want to use ama(which is borrowed from ijaws)
it is okpu'ama ka'uba
not that manipulation with alphabet you did there.
like I said, I'm dissapointed in you again.
trying to pass cap as opu instead of okpu.
to come out is spelt o'puta.

you know the truth but still trying to bend it to suit your lies like your fellow brothers did on Nebuchadnezzar calling him neburu'cham'bu'eze.
CREATIVE LIARS!

EastisBae:
The problem with you is that you will write an epistle that is neither here nor there. When you throw everything into the mix, you muddle up everywhere without passing any message accross.

However, from the few I can glean, you mentioned ekpe masquerade as played in Kalabari, and asked whether Kalabari is now owned by Akwa Ibom people. By asking that question, it shows you don't even know the history of Kalabari. Those areas used to be Ibibiod lands before you guys displaced them and took over and that's why some of their culture survived! It's the same landgrabbing attempts you're now making but unfortunately, you won't succeed this time around.

The Opobos that live in Aba mostly claim to be Igbos and they speak the language just like every other Igbo!

I have shown you articles stating unambiguously that Opobo was uninhabited when Jaja established his kingdom there yet you keep regurtitating myths and legends.

Ama means a habitat or compound in Igbo. That is why you hear villages like Ama-Ka-Ohia which translates to a compound/habitat is greater or more important than bush/jungle.

Okolo is a variety of bird called Curlew in English while the generic name for all birds is nnunu in Igbo! Okolo-ama therefore means Curlew habitat!

Whatever name or alias Jaja took doesn't mean anything, it was his choice and if otherwise, when he founded Opobo, he was already the most powerful and richest ruler in the Niger Delta and would have changed the name back!

Stop clutching at straws please!!

Alabo7978:
you talk about scholarly inclined and you still revel in the first expedition reports?
when you were writing your project, were you refrensing 1950's report??
John Clarke and Merrick whom were missionaries discovered the Oru DIALECTs and saw it to have affinity with that of new calabar, brass, ibani, okrika etc.
smith and baikie too began to later figure out the affinity.
Sigismund Koelle on his book Polyglotta Africana' also took note of it, and by 1880s the Oru(ijoid) Languages were grouped.
later on, linguist such as Gerrit Dimmendaal, Kay Williamson, Roger Blench, Paul hair in the 1900s already grouped the Oru Languages yet you clowns keep jerking on the old expedition.

and did I hear you say opu means big in igbo and not relating to ijoid Languages?
opu means big..there are names like Opubo, opu-alaikio opubigamabiri, opu-wari, opu-alabo, opu-kalango, opuamakuba(the first priest of Bonny) and so many other opu's

big in Igbo are odi'ukwu or vuri'ivu or nherin'nne or nnukwu but you say in your language oputabiye is someone with a big heart, LMAO. una dey try for lies o, even the devil is shocked!
someone with a big heart isn't it nnukwu-obi (nnukwu-big obi-heart) or obi-di'ukwu.
and you know say I Sabi Igbo you get mind dey lie for me.
brother man I am highly dissapointed in you.

Alabo7978:
what elders?
didn't you see he was referring to okrika?
so you now want to say okrika people came from Afam ndoki?
forgetting ndoki is ijaw (aminadokiari)
there is also OKOLOMA there, and to show igbos doesn't own that area, it belonged to the Bonny people.
if you doubt, go there and ask the people staying there. when portharcourt became crowded, people began to move into oyigbo, Afam, okoloma, kom-kom.

guess who sold land to them??
just guess?

the fubara family relations, and they still own that area for bonny, and I know alot of them because I interact with them in the real ibani/Kalabari DIALECT!

Alabo7978:
they will never concour.

everyone knows at the time Igbo people were the most demanded people because of their farming expertise hence they were good commodity for slavery. even the okrikans have some waves of migration from Nembe and Bonny and the central delta area.

Igbo people with their grabbing attitude are busy bringing unwanted hatred on themselves. They do not want to live with their neighbors in peace. they condemn the Fulani people for having expansionists mentality but they are the same with the people they condemn and that is why karma is dealing with them in Enugu and ebonyi area where herdsmen are entering and lodging in their forests and destroying their crops.

well all their lies will end in Nairaland, they can not dare enter the creek or delta to come and misbehave like this. they are cowards and will hide behind a faceless forum to bring more hatred on themselves and when they begin to suffer for it, they cry injustice when they themselves brought the weight on themselves.

I have learnt so many lessons on this nairaland about Igbo people. give them an inch and they will want to claim the entire square kilometers.

Tambaringabas:
Different strokes for different folks mate.

You are looking at things from a 'its only fair for us to be given' position,

I am speaking from a 'what's on ground position'.

ProfAmaben:
Your parents must be high on mmpurummiri, you fool, bloody calabar nuisance that can't boast of any notable contribution to humanity except sex

Tambaringabas:
Who voted for him by region? That's the key point.

Tambaringabas:
First, its very myiopic to compare the contributions made by regions to the APC because other regions certainly made more contributions than others and if politics is about patronage and payback, those regions deserve presidency before se.


Obj became president when other regions voted for him.

What region in today's Nigeria will give the Igbo's that privilege?

You created enemies for yourself by your acts, the least you can do is show remorse, submit and build alliance, not threats and blackmails.

If the APC gives its ticket to an Igbo, other regions who carried APC through these 8years will retaliate, most will even vote for whoever the opposition party brings just spite the people in APC and the Igbo's.

The Igbo people dug on themselves a hole.

Igbo candidacy in the APC is a tall order.

OfoIgbo:
Long live Ubani, ruled by an Igbo-descended king

Long live Opobo, named after an Igbo king of Ubani
Long live Opobo, the estate of the Jajas, an Igbo-descended royal family and owners of the land.

The Ijaw migrant subjects of these Igbo territories are jealous.

Igbo kwenu

SaintBishop:

How useless can you baboons be? And there's nothing like ubani, it Is IBANI you land grabbing lost Jews.

BlackAdam55:
Who wrote that article? Ghost? Who conduct the press spirits?
So you only post the parts that favors you? If you want to win an argument the best thing to do is to be honest through and through.Like I said,you are not intelligent enough to have any conversation with me

Omanambala:
These miserable bunch are like 2 or 3 persons with 20 monikers posting and replying themselves...lol

They are the IYC touts sent our to attack people who deny being Ijaw. They are everywhere in FB shouting people down with intimidation. They are being reduced to nothing at Bonny...lol

Them go shout tire....truth must prevail. It will only take time.

Truckpusher:
In your delusional mind , anyone that disagrees with your senseless and suicidal land grabbing ,you quickly label "Truckpusher" .

Continue mouthing my moniker , it will fill in your bank account.

Allen102:
You are desperate aren't you? Quoting me here and there trying so hard to cover your foolishness,even your comrades have left you all behind to wallow in your own stupidity. We are waiting for the day you will come claim some parts of Okrika as your own. You will know the difference between slaves and free people.

Allen102:
Can't believed these inferior beings want to drag Wakirike people into their doom. Since when did slaves start lording over their masters?

Allen102:
seen! Let these inferior beings come and drag Okrika again, they will know the difference between slaves and free people.

BlackSaints:
When we tell you that these igbos are just like Satan who comes to kill, steal and destroy you think I'm lying. These demonic people are trying to twist our history right from creation, Okrika people never deny buying Igbo as slaves, that's why Okrikans don't speak Igbo cause we consider it as slave language. But these people are posting fake narratives about Okrikans,how Okrikans are Originally Igbo,when in reality,the igbos in Okrika are descendant of Igbo slaves.

SaintBishop:
I will save the screenshot of course how can I missed the opportunity?

There are no igbos in Okrika,any igbos you see in Okrika are descendant of Igbo slaves.All thanks to your screenshot. I told you,are not smart. You act and behaved like a donkey. Dumb and stupid.

SaintBishop:
I done save the screenshot

SaintBishop:
You bought it up because you are like your pathetic lying fore fathers who are full of lies no truth can be found within you. Thanks to your screenshot we now know that the igbos in Okrika are slaves and they don't belong there
