Why should they be grateful? It is the turn of the ijaws in Rivers state to rule Rivers state. Ijaws owns half of Rivers State so what are you saying?

Stories. A tribe who owns half of a state should be winning Governorship back-to-back like the Tiv in Benue. You Ijaws are not even the majority in Bayelsa yet you want claim ownership of Rivers. No be juju be that?

Sim Fubara is a proud Opobo son (Bonny and Opobo are one). We expect this tribe to give us our next Governor and all Rivers people will make sure it happen.

Mind you there are no Ijaws in Rivers state.

I didn't say he was right, he was getting information from Wikipedia, so I told him to have a meeting with elders, for proper understanding.

Don't allow the ex-militant cajole you into accepting his rants. You can verify the source of your name from your proud parents or rather check online.

Fubara has European origin. Although the pronounciation and meaning has now being localized but the etymology remains European.

nengibo:
Then why will you agree with an illetrate ipob person to say Fubara is from Finbas(which sounds really stupid by the way)

Daft Bayelsa clown. So you want a proud Opobo son to agree with your landgrabbing and daft analysis.

Dude is Fubara by name and can tell what it means rather than getting tales by moonlight stories from illiterate Ijaw militants like you.

Dude was eager to understand the source of the info because he's educated. But you on the other hand needs to re-enrol into Primary school.

nengibo:
Illetracy at its peak is when an Igbo man that doesn't speak Ijaw language will wake up one day and start translation of it, I pray Nnamdi continues to rot in prison for brainwashing u guys

Clown! We go continue to slap una bar head until sense enter am. Fubara has european origin just like 60% of Bonny/ Opobo/ Kalabari names. It has no meaning in the so-called Ijaw.

This is how some stark illiterate Bayelsa clowns kept claiming Pepple until breeze blow foul nyash to show it was from Pepper. Same thing with Juwo Juwo which is real Jaja name that clowns turned to Jubo Jubogha on Wikipedia.

Chelsea for Lifeeeee, he quick us chop money for Eden Hazard head this season

Lol! I tell you. Madrid will pay Chelsea another round of millions as Hazard win Champions League trophy.

Liverpool Ntor. Yen Yen noise makers. Quadruple on fire.

Allow Man City or Chelsea enter final the stupid bin dippers joined with useless Man U and Arsenal say no. Now see the result.

When Chelsea were hammering Madrid 3-0 with 10 minutes to go in Bernabeu all the winch dem (Man U, Arsenal & Liverpool) joined to support Spain but Oluwa don disgrace dem today. Dem think say e easy to win Madrid!

Hala Madrid jare! Congratulations to the Champions but watch out for Chelsea next year!

The best way is nit to vote the two major parties! If APC presents a northerner. Then southern votes should pour towards Peter Obi.

Rugaria:
A slave does not need to trust his master! A slave obeys his master!!
The North is not bothered because the South West intentionally sold themselves cheap before the North. It's has been so for a very long time!
Afonja sold his people to Alimi and that's how Ilorin became a fulani enclave!
Akintola sold Awolowo to the north and got his northern handlers to send the socalled almighty Awolowo to a dingy jail cell in Calabar! He would have been killed there if Nzeogwu and co didn't act and eliminate both Akintola and Balewa/Saduana.

Awolowo will come out of jail to join northern military boys to totally sell the South West to the same North that jailed him, yet again. Pretending that he was helpless, Awolowo kept quiet as northerners and their wayward soldiers, took over the whole South West.
Today, The Customs service, The Nigerian Immigration service, The Nigerian Ports Authority, Army barracks , Police Heads in the West are all dominated by core northerners.

If you look at it from the outside, it will look like The West are part of the marginalized people who are always told to enjoy political victimization because "they lost the war", But no! They were part of "the winners". They are supposed to be making presidents out of themselves the same way the North does, but they can't. There is only one Yoruba man that the northern oligarchy can trust with the president of the country and he is Obasanjo! The recycled him twice. The north trusts nobody else in Yorubaland and the yorubas have accepted that. The other yorubas who have attempted to make that position, were either humiliated to no end like they did to Awolowo, Diya and shonekan, or killed as was the case of Abiola and Idiagbon!

The South West has always been comfortable with the crumbs from the Fulani table. Hushcobar Tinupoo just said that The Yoruba and The Fulani are one and the same thing! What it means is that when a Fulani is the president, the Yoruba is already there! So what's the fuse? Trust or no trust, they will always be in line and to their Lords up North, that is what matters.

Funny! The moment I got to that Hushcobar I begin burst laugh You got me there seriously.

A welcome development

raymondFirstborn:
Well done, i am actually from opobo town, i can see sense in your write up, but wikipedia shouldnt be your only source. Sit down and have a discussion with elders.

Nice one bro. You are right about Wiki. But I've done a lot of research that even humbled me with revelations. Like Pepple actually from Pepper and all that. That of Fubara was suspicious especially as the meaning in Ijaw was jaundiced which led me to dig deeper to find out the true origin of the name in Kalabari.

Kalabari were actually neigbours with Bonny in the Rio Real but had to move southern ward after countless defeats in wars with Bonny. Bonny and Kalabari shared a lot in common with Kalabari influencing Bonny in Language over her aboriginal Ndoki dialect. Any wonder you hear names like Fubara, Tonye, Alabo, Senibo, Ibinabo bore by each.

The meaning of Fubara in Kalabari was copied from Fionnbarra (Portuguese) and given to a Diety in ancient times. But the meaning remained the same.

Fubara as a name has Irish origin (Finbar) of whom the early Portuguese sailors among whom where Catholic missionaries in our shores bore Finbhara. Whether Finbar, Finbhara or Fubara each has similar meanings. Fairheads or Forehead.

It was a fact that the Kalabari who localized the name due to trade with the Portuguese (The Portugues even name the people New Calabar - Elem Kalabari - due to their migration from Old Calabar).

The bulk of Riverine people names and language have European origin of which the Ijaw culture grabbers from Bayelsa and Delta want to claim as theirs.

Some Ijaws clowns should stop being unfortunate. Some people will be claiming names with European heritage as Ijaw name.

Dem swear for Ijaws with grabbing other peoples identity?

RobbStark:
Fubara isn't an Ijaw name abi.
So all those in Kalabari land that bears such name are ibos according to you.
Continue

How is Fubara an Ijaw name? Besides Rivers do Delta, Ondo and even Bayelsa bear Fubara. Do Ijaws in the aforementioned states bear Fubara?

DMerciful:
APGA is seen as an Igbo party....that would be national suicide to join!

APGA is not an Igbo party. It started off well until Peter Obi and Umeh made it so.

Obi returning to APGA to restrategize with other like-minds to use their popularity and clean the South-East would have sent shivers down the spine of PDP. And who says they can be another merger come 2027 by say APGA (The ruling SE party) and another regional party elsewhere to win the federal.

Obi miscalculated and failed to see the bigger picture just to thrill in the present. Bet me Obi will decamp from Labour party to another party in the future.

Obi has no business in politics. Labour party of all party! Like is this real or a dream. What stops this man from returning to APGA like Abaribe and Ekweremadu?

Rather than join APGA where he has the network and grow the party to win the South-East and grow nationally na Labour party him land. Thank God for PDP shenanigans that exposed his political nativity.

Ndigbo beware. Don't waste your votes on this man. For the next 20 years those following Obi will continue dancing in the wilderness.

Okoroawusa:
PDP that all of you should have resigned from since ...
PDP has never favoured the Igbo race

I tell you. We spoke up but a lot of folks went deaf. Too late!

Bonesbreaker:
Obi should announce a party soon so we start local government mobilization and state own please no time.

I guess you want High BP. Forget that mobilization and get real.
Obi was never serious with the Presidential battle. Allow him leak his wounds and sneak back to APGA.

Ndigbo should fall behind serious contenders and not political lightweights like Obi. This is the truth many of you won't accept!

Peter Obi don fall hands. I wish him well in his political adventures.

A lot of folks now understand when Wike said people shouldn’t waste their votes on him. All those years Obi spent in PDP should have been used to build APGA. Now that jungle has matured will he go back to APGA or will he continue to ginger his fan base knowing fully well that he isn’t prepared for the political battles in the federal.

DitariDisciple2:
When you've finished frustrating go back to that slum called Aba with the worse roads in Nigeria.
Igbo beg full all Aba and Onitsha but you will never see any Ijaw professional begger on the streets.

I’m not the cause of your misery. But note this!

“Thunder fire Ijaws”

Wike spits

Mind you there are no Ijaws in Rivers.

RobbStark:
Good news.
At least, starting from here now, real development will come to the riverine part of the state no matter who wins.

Long live the Ijaw people world-wide
Long live Ibani People
Long live Rivers State

Just like the real development all criminal-minded Governors have attracted to Bayelsa since 1999. Any wonder Yenagoa looks like a glorified village.

Which real development reach the Bonny/Bodo road? Which real development reach the Opobo/Nkoro unity road? Which real development reach the Bonny deep sea port? Which real development reach the Trans/Kalabari road? Which real development reach the Degema/Buguma/Abonnema road.

How many of the above road the drunks governing your glorified village called Bayelsa state construct? Can you mention any town in that your bush Bayelsa that is level above any Rivers town? Yenagoa which suppose to be rubbing shoulders with Abakaliki, Ado-Ekiti, Gombe etc have been left behind loosely resembling war-torn Somali?

Can you mention any meaningful development your cultist tribe attracts to Port-Harcourt? If not to dey open ogogoro joint for Bundu, or pirates for our creeks or Ashawo abi na to dey inhabit Batcha for Okrika waterside which other meaningful things una attract enter Rivers?

DitariDisciple2:
The two choice is Ijaw or Ijaw.
Any way it is, we still win.

There are no Ijaws in Rivers state. Take note.

Sim Fubara is a proud Opobo son while Cole is from Kalabari. Fubara emerges winner in the Governorship election.

Ijaw clowns from Bayelsa should focus on their dead state and leave Rivers politics alone.

Bayelsa clowns don run open thread. Dem swear for una with Rivers matter!

Parachoko:
Yes he won, the APC will also produce an Ijaw man.

People like Eastlink and Frigga13 can only wail and gnash their teeth on top Nairaland, they are inconsequential in Rivers State.

Clown! Console yourself. Wike made us proud with Sim Fubara as we predicted. A proud Opobo son. Mud bloods will have no choice but to vote for him. Una must speak Igbo with Fubara by fire by force. Body dey sweet me like this After Bonny/Opobo rule finish power returns to Etche or Ahoada as we predicted. And the circle continues.

Wike & Amaechi understands the memo. Never again shall any Ijaw swine enter Brick house. If Governor sweet them, they should relocate to Bayelsa or denounce the cultist ethnicity with drunks in Amassoma. Some people must get sense by voice.

In Wike’s voice “Thunder fire Ijaws”.

kingi777:
It's between Hon Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba and Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi.

Emeka Nwajiuba. APC is sweeping the east!

PrinceOfLagos:
Hey guys, it's no longer news that his Excellency, president muhammadu Buhari and APC chairman, Abdullahi adamu wanna opt for a consensus candidate for 2023 presidential election. I've been just been informed from a reliable source that the consensus candidate has an Igbo name.

I won't mention his name, but he's calm and talk less ...

I congratulate the Igbos in advance.

You sabi something jare. Many of us have seen this a long time ago.

skana28:
Is this guy Wike's candidate?

Yes!

A welcome develoment.

The following screnshots prove my points. My postulation is that the Kalabari's who made that name popular thanks to their interaction with the Portuguese created a diety from it. Even Kalabari itself was named New Calabar by the Portuguese as history said they migrated to their present abode from Old Calabar. Their migration occurred due to inter-house wars in Old Calabar were they lost and were helped by the Aros who transported them to their present location first stopping at Ikwerreland before moving to the Rio Real close to Bonny so that they can trade with the Europeans.

Note: All the Finbar, Fionbhara and Fubara means one thing fairhead/forehead. From their etymology you will see Fairhead in Irish and portuguese and Forehead in Kalabari as seen from the ancestral Kalabari diety.

Graysons:
Only the ijaws in Rivers bears Fubara which is the short form of Ibifurbara an ijaw name. If I want to know about the history of kalabari people,I will ask the Kalabaris themselves, not some land grabbing, Igbo pests, who are foreigners in Rivers state, you dig fake Jew?

Fubara is Ijaw and yet Ijaws in Ondo, Delta and to a less extent Bayelsa (Except those who related with Rivers people in time past) don't bear it. That alone exposes the fraud called Ijaw.

In truth names like Fubara, Ibinabo etc have their roots from Portuguese, English and a sprinkle of Igbo/Ibibio. The bulk of the names of tribes in the Riverian areas of our state are foreign like Pepper and localized by the locals to Pepple.

For Fubara its a portuguese version of Finbar. Finbar is Gaelic (Irish) in origin and made popular by the Catholic Patron Saint Finbarrs whose names was answered by boys in the ancient Catholic Europe (Christiandom).

gold360:
I don't know how grown ups like you can get this blissfully ignorant?
The full name is ibifubara meaning good luck in ijaw language.
Forget your rant here and go to bonny or opobo and tell them that they're igbos and see how you will dealt with. Nama

Says a novice. So bara no longer mean hand again in Ijaw?

Another rant of go to Bonny or Opobo and tell them bla bla bla. Are you guys not tired of spewing these tales by moonlight stories you tell yourselves? You think you're talking to an alien here.
