FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ALL IJAW GROUPS.

TIME FOR 100 PERCENT IJAW REPUBLIC TOTAL FREEDOM.
GENERAL DITARI SPEAKS.


My Ijaw people, we've suffered too much.
Southern Ijaw local government of Bayelsa state, with 2,680 km² is bigger than Isu local government of Imo State of 40km²
67 times.
2,680 divided by 40 is 67.

Southern Ijaw LGA have 176 towns,

Koluama District 103
Oporoma district 73 making 176 towns.
Southern Ijaw LGA have landmass of 2680 and the whole Imo state have landmass of 5300 km² Southern Ijaw is far far bigger than half of Imo state.
Ibos lied with that their population figures, iv stayed in Ibo land well. If water does not seperate our Ijaw towns like the way those Igbo land are together in one place, you will see how great our number is.
They always calculate Ijaw by proxy they don't go to most of the areas.

Southern Ijaw have 1 reps 1 LGA 17 wards.
Imo, of which 2 of Southern Ijaw LGA cannot enter it have 27 LGA 10 house of reps, 305 wards.
And it's our Ijaw oil money they use in paying these their politicians.
The Nigerian useless 1999 Constitution say no state must have less then 12 LGAs but look Bayelsa.
Bayelsa is bigger than 10 Nigerian States.
Only Bayelsa is below that, in the whole Nigerian States.
Bayelsa state with a landmass of 10,773km ² is bigger than both Imo state, of 5300 km² and Anambra 4,800 km² put together.
Imo and Anambra put together, is 10,100.
Bayelsa state is 673km² bigger than these two states put together.
Imo and Anambra have 632 wards and councillors, Bayelsa state the only state they gave we Ijaws, have 105 councillors and wards, the both of them have 48 LGA Bayelsa have 8, the both of them have 21 house of reps, Bayelsa have 5.
Among so many errors on our Ijaw people.
The Ijaws of Ondo and Edo put together are more than the whole Enugu state, population and size wise.
The Ijaws of Rivers state are more populated than Ebonyi state.
Bayelsa is bigger than Imo and Anambra state put together, they don't calculate us they only do it through proxy, Delta Ijaw occupy space bigger than Abia state.
We havent even said anything about Akwa-Ibom Ijaws.these people are afraid to cross waters iv travelled to so many Ijaw areas, same with Ibo land. They calculate us by proxy.
Igbos are not even more populated than we Ijaws, many of those people speaking Igbo, are actually Ijaw people, because of no Central Ijaw dialect, and we are working on that right now.
A central dialect that will be inclusive of all Ijaw clans.

Enugu state have many Idoma people in it.
Ebonyi state have many cross river tribes people in it.
Anambra state have Igala people in it.
Abia state have Anindokarie Ijaw people that are under Ijaw Youth Council today.
Even imo have acculturated Egbema Ijaw people.
Only Ijaws under IYC and INC will go to Ijaw Republic.
All Ijaw areas share boundaries with each other.
The Nigerian system Balkanized us into more than 6 States, when we are together, and our ijaw people in these states share boundaries with each other, all to weaken our unity, and take our God given wealths.
I hate Nigeria.

Ijaw Republic or nothing else.
All Ijaw people should rise up, and work with we the Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization, and also the Ijaw Republic Liberation Movement, to free us from this slavery and curse called Nigeria.
I hate Nigeria.


General Ditari speaks.

For picking on Ndigbo for the wrong reference in writing this trash, I'll expose more of the four whole Ijaw LGAs in Bayelsa. We will see their real population distribution today and others will see who the liar is.
I'll edit later to include pix.

Idonmakeam:
Rivers? how? they do not want to identify with you, yet you own the old in Rivers?

What do you know about Rivers state? Go and make a little research about the state before you dabble into something you know nothing about.

Idonmakeam:
https://whistletimes.com/igbo-exit-from-nigeria-an-irrevocable-loss-ebikapade-amasuomo/

An environmental consultant, social critic, activist and advocate for good governance in Nigeria, Ebikapade Amasuomo, shared his opinion with Whistle Times on the agitation by a section of Igbos to secede from Nigeria. The activist said, ”During the Biafra War, the Nigerian government confiscated bank accounts belonging to Igbos.

After the war in 1970, the Nigerian government gave every Igbo person with a bank account the sum of twenty pounds as a grant to start a new life, therefore, the Igbos lost funds in Nigerian banks in return for a twenty pounds grant. In the same vein, Igbos who had properties in other parts of the country had their properties seized especially in Rivers State where thousands of Igbo properties in Port Harcourt were auctioned off to locals due to perceived dominance of Igbos in Port Harcourt.

Apart from financial and property losses, several Igbos were killed, many young people with potentials lost their lives. Some of the young people killed could have gone on to be great men and women. Despite all these losses, Igbos are a formidable force in today’s Nigeria. They are one of the top two most prosperous tribes in Nigeria with almost every two villages producing at least one or two millionaires.

Ebikapade Amasuomo added that outside Nigeria, out of every ten Nigerians making the country proud, an investigation will always reveal that four out of the ten are Igbos while another four will be Yoruba and the remaining two from various parts of the country. In Nigeria today, some of the biggest banks are owned by Igbos, they are prominent in the nation’s entertainment industry, sports, academics, aviation sector, small and large scale manufacturing, media and a host of others. Their role in commerce and the informal sector across the country cannot be overemphasized.

The Igbos essentially rebuilt a nation with a grant of twenty pounds each. This shows the resilient nature of Indigbos, one wonders what could have become of the Igbos had Biafra not happened. Igbos live peacefully in every parts of Nigeria plying their trade and making money under extremely difficult circumstances.

The advocate for good governance further added that as an Ijaw man watching events in Nigeria, he believes that what Nigeria needs to survive is Indigbos and not crude oil. He said, the Igbos do not have crude oil nor political powers but they are more prosperous than those with political power and crude oil. Ebikapade said, what we must do now as a nation is to support and encourage Igbos so as to accelerate our quest of becoming the next China. Biafra and Igbo exit from Nigeria will be an irrevocable loss to Nigeria, therefore, we must begin the process of ensuring that the likes of Peter Obi, Kingsley Moghalu, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and thousands of brilliant Igbo technocrats out there are given a chance at the national level come 2023 general election. I do not know these individuals personally but without a doubt they have proven themselves as worthy leaders in their private and public endeavors.

We must therefore not push the Igbos to the wall as their exit from this nation will be a costly mistake for hundred of years to come.

Before responding to this appealing write up, let me first correct the wrong statement in bold.
Igboland is emphatically the richest in onshore crude oil in Nigeria. Igboland has over 15 oil producing LGAs cumulatively in Nigeria from Rivers, Delta, Abia, Imo and Anambra states. No ethnic group can beat that. Therefore, let no man ever make the comment that Igbos have no oil.
Now to the write up itself, the writer did his best but the truth is that Igbo youths have decided already on a separate future for Igbos from Nigeria. Nigeria has no good plans or future for us so why should we waste time believing in something that is designed to suppress us? It's just common sense that we shun Nigeria entirely and focus on building a separate existence. Our minds are made up already. There's no going back on Biafra.

Let the world know our stance. No inch of Igbo land or Biafra will be ceded or left or open for any Fulani terrorist government from Abuja. When next you hear IPOB and ESN fighting, you should now understand better.
God bless Akabo youths.
God bless Oguta LGA
God bless IMO state
God bless Igboland
God bless Biafra.

There's no going back on Biafra. We can't be treated like second class citizens in our ancestral land.

Your tears is too much o. Sorry ehn.
Here, take this pepper-doused handkerchief to wipe away your tears alamajiri.

There's no going back on Biafra. Our people have no future in Nigeria. A useless country where any bastard towel head can just wake up and blow up a church killing scores yet he won't be prosecuted. Where is Kabiru Sokoto that masterminded Madalla the Madalla Church bomb attack? Victims are expected to just suck it in until another attack comes again. Nigeria doesn't deserve any chance again. Too many innocent people have been murdered with the murderers sitting in high places enjoying themselves and promoting more bloodshed just to keep the status quo in place.

Abohboy:
Thank you IPOB is working against the progress of Igbo people and shouldn't be giving power regardless of earning anybody's respect only reason why them comply is because of fear of murder or robbery by the IPOB miscreants

Your intentions have always been known by us. You're lost already.

giftibo:

They are ready to go with their brothers
IJAW REPUBLIC.
#WERISE.

LMAO. Is that the picture of the get together? Even an obscure village can have a better gathering than that in your pix.
It is this flagrant disregard of Igbos that pushed me into searching the history of every group of people classified as Ijaws with the aim of tearing to shreds all the lies you've been feeding others for long. Today, I'm glad that I know your real territories better and would expose them for all to see.

BKayy:
Seems like both of them are acting.
Trying to manufacture one mythical "Ibani" people

I can't be Igbo and be acting with an obviously Igbo hating goon as Igbo history. I write what I understood from my many research. Ibani clearly is a corruption of Ubani from where Bonny got her name. That a group of Ijaws who migrated from Brass, passed through Okrika then joined the Ndoki at Bonny chose to call themselves Ibani shouldn't startle me. After all, Kalabaris got their name from Old Calabar when their new port was called 'New Calabar'. The Kalabaris themselves a collection of different people with Igbo and Ijaws including Ibibios and other smaller groups. My knowledge of the area is very good.

Eastlink:
Crap. Thank me for throwing this into the dustbin. Find something reasonable to do with your time rather than spilling arguments that you can't back up. Maybe you need to listen to Bkkay your friend and allow men deal with issues like this.

I won't engage you like I would do a non-Igbo arguing this. My contributions are based on the knowledge I got from my numerous research including discussions with people from the area. I have a friend from Bonny Island who I got a lot of info from. Of course I'm able to sift through and identify probable truth from embellished lies. Therefore, my points are always aimed at knocking out an opponent when we are before a panel of arbitration. I don't engage just so I can intimidate and defeat someone online alone. You must think deeply before questioning my 'machoness'. Allagoa thought lying and obscuring the truth about Ndoki Igbos heritage in Bonny was being macho. Today we are bursting his lies. I won't want to be in his shoes when it matters most.
Gbado anya.

JANK23H:
I should be questioning your own education.You deliberately miss the point.At least you now agree Ibanis are Ijaws and not Igbos.[b]Since you now agree, how could there have been more Igbos in Ibani land[b].The influence we speak of here is Language and not culture, because the culture remains till date the Ijaw culture.

I have explained to you with publications how the Igbo language became dominant.All you need do is produce proof and explain the contrary.

Again,my argument is about Ibanis in Bonny and Opobo.

Your understanding is very warped. Ibanis are of Ijaw ancestry that joined Ndokis at Bonny. The two have shared the history of Bonny for a long time with Ndoki Igbos having more influence. Where did I state the Ibanis do not share language similarity with Ijaws?
Ndoki is Igbo through and through. It is you who should bring any proof to affirm their Ijaw origin. Why am I even wasting my time talking to you about Ndoki Igbos? Go to Ukwa East today and tell them they are Ijaws and watch what they will do to you. The Nwaotam masquerade celebrated in Ndoki, Bonny and Opobo came from Ndoki and is only celebrated by these three groups. No other Igbo community celebrate Nwaotam. Is Nwaotam Ibani language? Mind yourself o.
Since you claim that Ndokis practice Ijaw culture, I want you to tell the readers the Ijaw culture practiced by Ndokis.
For the statement in bold, I want you to tell me where you mean by Ibani land.
As for number, Igbos had outnumbered Ibanis in Bonny since over 200yrs ago. This is because both Ndoki Igbos and other Igbos both slaves and free where in Bonny for a long time trading consumables that Bonny couldn't produce. This was even before palm oil trade started. Mind you that Ndokis never saw themselves as Igbos at that time nor did the Ibanis see themselves as Ijaws. It was just independent groups coming together to conduct business and relate together. Igbo language dominated because the sheer number of Igbo related groups cemented the Igbo language there.

JANK23H:
Take time to read sometimes,that way you won't have to say unnecessary things

Your level of education is in question. My post clearly refuted the claims of the insincere prof yet you're still asking me to read the jargons he wrote. Why should I waste my time reading it again?
Are there some Ibanis(Ijaws) who might have settled in Ndokiland throughout the over two hundred years of Ndoki/Bonny interaction? Yes.
Could the population of such settlers be enough as to suggest any shift in the Igbo nature, language and culture of Ndoki? No, not at all. The Ibanis are a very small group that couldn't even match the population of Igbos in Bonny so how can they become Ndokis or have sufficient impact as to affect the Igbo nature Ndokiland surrounded by millions of other Igbo groups.

JANK23H:
Use this as one of the review materials for your assignment.

http://www.thetidenewsonline.com/2013/03/04/lg-chairmen-set-to-develop-ibani-language-curriculum/

Until it's ready, don't me quote again.

That your text from Prof. Jones Alali is as funny as hell. It is this same madness of trying to claim Ndoki that triggered me into researching about the entire Ijaw claims. Today I know so much about them and can clearly see their original boundaries. It is very shameful for a so called Prof to resort to such low-level of claiming a people who are 100% unrelated to you. Ndokis have no land boundary with Ijaws. They don't speak any language similar to Ijaw neither do they share any cultural practice with Ijaws. Rather it is their culture that have influenced Bonny till this day. How then can this prof claim them to be Ijaws? I have been to Ndokiland on at least 3 occasions and their Igbo is as clear as the clearest Igbo dialect of southern Igboland.
You yourself can take a trip to Ukwa East in Abia state where you will find the Ndokis to make your own findings.

JANK23H:
The slaves to most Niger Delta tribes making themselves important.You should be thankful to the British for making you all relevant.

Stop typing rubbish. If not for Igbos, the few recognition Ijaws got would never have been so. Only two cities gave you lots the little history you have today. Both Palm oil and slave trade was possible because of Igbos. Bonny and Opobo became famous because of Igbos. The only Ijaw pure Ijaw town reckoned in history is Akassa. Jaja the greatest king of the Niger Delta is Igbo and his descendant remains the head of all chiefs in Rivers state. Stop yapping shit about Ndigbo.

GOTVee:
May the holy spirit forgive you because you are making a wrong accusation

The Holy Spirit doesn't forgive whosoever lies with His name. You have incurred His wrath already so expect a heavy hand on your useless head.
So much for a born again Christian.

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian from the south, I think we southerners are been insensitive with our decision to collect VAT directly to our respective states. The north on record once financed the economy of Nigeria with agriculture and other resources before the discovery of oil in the south. Is this the best way to pay back the north for all their sacrifices for our dear nation? How can we expect a northern region ravaged by banditry and terrorism to generate huge VAT like our peaceful South? Why can't we be our brothers keeper for the sake of the survival of our dear country? It amazes me that a southern region dominated by we Christians fails to follow the bible comandment of loving our neighbors as ourselves. Its unfortunate that we are letting greed becloud our sense of jugdement on this matter. I would advice the federal government to use Veto power to over rule any court judgment on state collection of VAT. Any state that insist on collecting VAT should have their governor removed through state of emergency. Nonsense

[/s]
Born again terrorist from the coven of Talibans. Carry on with your tomfoolery.

mrvitalis:
The writer is nothing but a political writer ..

U said it's wrong to say not brings nothing to the table , instead of telling us what north brings u start talking about resources potential of the north ...what's that

He obviously couldn't fault what wike did , he tried so hard but couldn't fualt it

Now he is attacking the intention ? LMAO

The writer is a fool and we really need to see his face. Follow all his articles and you'll see that all he does is to launder and promote the interest of fulanis. I can bet that he's not Igbo but uses the name just to deceive people.

Can anyone shed more light on the area called Igbogene around the Yenagoa area of Bayelsa? What's the meaning of the name and what language do they speak over there?

Ofodirinwa:
I'm proud that the igbos in this thread are discussing linguistics and history while the others are just being ethnic and small minded.

Unless of course you're not igbo then ndo

I'm proudly Igbo. Truth is sacrosanct and I try my best to abide by it in my affairs.
Jisike.

Abohboy:
The bolded is not what I said on my thread alone I only said Aboh should be giving a port as well as Onitsha and investment brought into it's fishing economy nowhwere did I mention grovelling or persuasion and nowhere did I say I wanted Obi of Aboh to be considered King of Igbo I said based off of British writings that's what he was considered and I am Igbo not sure what your grudge is

Initially, the British thought Obi Ossai was the king supreme of the great Igbos but they later found out he wasn't and himself confirmed that the larger portion of the Igbo country lies on the other side of the Niger. He was a king of great influence on the Niger nonetheless.
Aboh has always been Igbo which the king himself said with his own mouth. Anyone saying otherwise today is making out his ancestor to be a liar.

oyatz:
Okunrin (Yoruba)= Okoro (Bini)= Okoro (Igbo)= MAN.

Okorodudu (Urhobo)= Okunrin dudu (Yoruba)= Okoroji (Igbo)

Okuta( Yoruba) = Okute (Itsekiri)= Okwute= Igbo


Yoruba-Bini-Itsekiri-Urobo/Isoko-Ika-Ikwerre- Ekpeye-Igbo represent a language continum.

In the distant past, we spoke the same language.

Very much true. It's a language continuum.

With those communities OP listed, I'll ensure to carry out real investigations on them by visiting some of them to put this matter to rest.
Now unto the Igbo(Ndokwa)/Isoko relationship, one can't understand them without understanding that history.
In the old days early 19th century, Aboh was the most powerful kingdom on the Niger up untill Idah in the Igala country. She heavily participated in slavery getting slaves from all around her area of influence and still buying from Idah. She will then sell those slaves to Brass who will either take the victims to Bonny or sell them straight to Brazilian slavers who inside the Brass rivers to evade British anti-slavery ships at that time because slave trade was abolished in 1807.
In those days ethnicity was very fluidy especially in the boundary areas. People moved around and settled wherever they get much food and less problems irrespective of the different language they encounter there. They just learn the language in some cases or muddle up the language with that of others to develop a slightly different language from both languages. If one language features more in the mixed language, it continues to share the same language classification with the predominant language around it. I can say confidently that I now understand Isokos claim of being distinct from Urhobo. Isokos might have originally been Urhobos but after the great exodus from Benin city, a lot of other edoids who fled passed through their territory and added to the mix. Such edoids are the Egenni, Epie-Atissa etc. One will notice that the Isokos have both LGAs sandwiched between Igbos of Ukwuani and the Urhobos therefore a good number of Igbos must have moved into the territory and added to the mix to create a further divergence from Urhobo. Some Isoko South communities Igbide to be specific claim Igbo origin but are today Isokos. This is how one can be able to understand the name similarities that exist between Igbo and Isoko. Some Isoko communities are found in the Ndokwa East/Isoko South fringes and the story of a mixture of people is the same. It is with this understanding that one can use to question and look at such communities like Osekwenike and Abuetor(Igbo sounding names) as Igbo communities. I'll appreciate if any Isoko can give us the meaning of those names in the Isoko language.
It is my desire that we discuss these things with the mindset of understanding one another and accepting the truth for what it is.
Another thing we must not forget is the fact that some other really tiny languages might have been swallowed by either Igbo or the edoids around that area because from my studies, I've come to see a continuum that shows clearly how connected most people around that lower Niger is. It might be very difficult to put them into exactly one language family e.g Igboid or edoid or Ijoid. Take for instance, the Igboid Ekpeyes call their king 'Eze Logbo' and here we see an Isoko claim that those communities have their king traditional title as Odiologbo. One can see the clear similarity and can help us to understand the distinction between them and other Isoko communities. I can say for sure that the lower Niger area around Yenagoa, Sagbama, Brass, Ogbia, Ahoada, Abual/Odual and Degema is a melting point of the Igboid/Ijoid/Edoid and the central deta groups. The ijaws clearly masters of the swamps therefore those closer to the swamps are sucked in to their fold. The next like the Abual/Odual, the Ogbia, Kugbo, Abureni, Obulom etc together classified as the Central Delta languages are rarely known in southern Nigeria so they were claimed by the Ijaws. The Ogbias are counted as the biggest of them all.
I'll edit and finish up later. I'll also add a picture of language classification around that area later.
Contd
Next on the list is the smaller Edoid who remained mostly around the Yenagoa area. One other group travelled farther east and settled. They are the Degema people.
The Igboids(Ekpeyes and Ogbas) are next up in the central delta but deep down in the Eastern delta, the Igbo went down and is muddled up with a lot of other ethnicities that are today classified as the Kalabaris. Here the Ibibiods, Igboids and Ijoids melted into a fusion of one people with Igbo language being very common. Going into the swamps and Islands of Okrika will see the Ijoids dominating but going into Bonny will find Igbo dominating the major town with Ibani occupying the interior villages.
Below is a picture of the language classification of the areas of discussion.

BKayy:
You claim to know your history and to an extent that of Ndigbo but a lady from Ndokwa East (which your Aboh is the HQ) is proving beyond Reasonable doubt here that both You and her are Isoko and all you can do is attempt to sabotage what Ndigbo have worked for over the years.
Mtcheww, Nwokem go and sit down one place let's enjoy this lady's submission

You need to pipedown so you learn what you don't know. I understand your apprehension about Abohboy but you must stay open to learning for clarity sake. Myself I'm learning from this thread.

LMAO... surprisingly Nigerians will laugh it out while the freedom fighter will be left languishing in jail. No one will be penalized and the aims of the evil men in government will succeed smoothly without any resistance. This generation will believe that the next generation will challenge and bring the much needed change but that will never happen. If it doesn't happen now forget about ever enjoying freedom.
I'm very angry at the sophisticated fools that populate southern Nigeria. Where is Kabiru Sokoto that masterminded the Madalla Church bombing? He's a free man today and everyone down South have forgotten about him. Over sixty innocent worshippers dead with many more maimed but what we heard was that he escaped from police custody.
O ye foolish southerners.

JANK23H:
This is the last response I'll give on this silly thread.
I have a feeling this whole nonsense is engineered by IPOB to brainwash Igbos in thinking they own Ijaw lands so they can move in and cause chaos,or possibly acquire forcefully.

You won't know what hit you,by the time the dance starts.Continue in your madness.

IPOB didn't mention anything about Bayelsa and she clearly states that every group inside Biafra has the free choice to vote for Biafra or against her. Leave IPOB out of this and focus on the discussion proper.
The discussion is whether there are some Igbo communities inside Bayelsa state. Some Igbo individuals want to know based on hearsay so it's left for those who know to clear the air. There's no need to be apprehensive.
Can you answer this question? Who are the people of Osekwenike in Sagbama LGA and what language do they speak?
What about the area called Igbogene in Yenagoa? Tell us about them for knowledge purpose.
It is very simple.

richmond500:
Igbogene is no Igbo o, Jesus Christ.

My statement was for you to tell us about Igbogene. Who are the people that own that place? Let it be known for all to see.
What about Osekwenike in Sagbama? Isn't that place existing? Tell us about it if you know.

Emilokoiyawon:
Can you link me to this Igbo girl from Bayelsa let me find out if she REALLY has Igbo name and speaks an Igbo language? Because my understanding is that Bayelsa is purely Ijaw state.

Do you know that Bayelsa has at least 10 different languages spoken inside of it indigenously? Do you know that only 4 out of the 8 LGAS are 100% Izon/Ijaw speaking? They are Ekeremor, Kolokuma/Opokuma, Nembe and Southern Ijaw. The remaining 4 they share with other language speakers. Sagbama shares boundary with Delta state and have languages also spoken in Delta like Urhobo/Isoko. The same Sagbama and the rest LGAs namely Yenagoa, Ogbia and Brass share boundary with Rivers and these areas are occupied with Igboids and other Edoid and distinct languages.
People have been awashed with the belief that Bayelsa was a whole Ijaw owned state. Now we know better.
You can go online to conduct your research. Make your findings known thereafter.
