The Egbema is a Subgroup of the Ijaw tribe, having 9 Subclans,
Namely Ajakurama, Pulobubou, Ofunama, Ogbudugbudu Jamagie, Opuama etc.
This 9 Subclans of the Egbema kingdom have over 200 villages and Hamlet's under them.
These Egbema people were Balkanized into Edo state, and Delta state.



The Egbema of Rivers and Imo, that travelled to the area they are due to the fishing nature of the Ijaw tribe, during the days of old, and that was balkanized into Rivers and Imo are same people with this Egbema of Edo and Delta.
They are all Ijaw people, but the Rivers and Imo Egbema have lost their Language due to Igbo acculturation.
They have Opuama in Egbema of Rivers and Imo
And Opuama is a Subgroup of the Egbema of Edo and Delta too, meaning big town.

All Egbema people are Ijaw people.

You see! That's the problem they keep claiming lands of people that do not speak the same language with them or bear the same name with them,ask the op if he can understand Ibani or opobo language,i have seeing countless videos of opobo and bonny speaking Igbo/Igboid language why include non-ijaw speaker in your map? Una dey find trouble Sha..

I'm in Bonny now and the Bonny Ibani Ijaw people are saying anything make Igbo come near Bonny he will never return with his two legs,the Iyc flag is beautiful pin in the Beach so we are daring you to come and remove it and put your Biafra flag pls,physically not on Nairaland.com.

ipob na real apprentice for where this militant people dey , meanwhile i dey wait when Binni kingdom go start their own e go reach sierra Leone ..

Other tribes are not included there only the Ijaws.
We are peace loving people but when people call for war we fight,we don't run away.
We are just waiting for the right time for it to begin .

DubaiLandLord2:
Leave the Yorubas out of una madness.

I can't see any part of Yoruba land in that map.

There is no Yoruba land in the map, don't mind the fool

Skooltynz:
Indeed the breakup of Nigeria will be worse than Yugoslavia,hmmmmm e no go funny, even if the north frees the south the territorial battles in the south will be bloody,imagine Igbo territories ijaws are claiming.it may sound funny to the op but it's not..

No Igbo Territory is in that map displayed above above,we don't look for trouble but if you say you want it then you play the music ,we will all dance to the music whatever step you want.

Skooltynz:
It's not about drawing maps it's about defending it,before this map can be a reality they have to battle,Edo's,igbos and yorubas,1 tribe 3 battle fronts mtchwwww how can they survive it..

No other tribe is included in the map above .
If you are planning of taking our Ijaw clan then prepare to dance when the biggest masquerade want to dance.

tamdun:
The can't even face 1 of those tribe

Try to take our Territory and see what will happen

Sergio101:
This is not funny at all.

Somethings should not be used for play, op where did you get the map from.
Any link??

I think ijaws madness should be treated once. So that their body will rest.(ka ahu juo ha oyi)
The loquacious beings are taking this trouble too far......... Let Nigeria divide first
Arrant nonsense!!!

We are only letting every other tribes know our Territory so you guys should stop putting Ijaws in your landlocked map.
Don't joke with our keeping silent,it will shock you oh whatever you think you know how to do.

Skooltynz:
It's not about drawing maps it's about defending it,before this map can be a reality they have to battle,Edo's,igbos and yorubas,1 tribe 3 battle fronts mtchwwww how can they survive it..

Bring the battle to the Ijaws you will know how far,We are warriors,we only put the Ijaw clans in the map,every other tribes should map out only what belongs to them.

This map is the Ijaw Republic map showing the 65 clans of the Ijaw Nation.
Each of these 65 clans have not less than 25 villages each.
The Oro and Obolo people have paid a visit to General Ditari and the Ijaw Republic Liberation Movement Militant Forces, saying that they are Ijaws and since they share boundaries with other Ijaws,the both of them share boundaries, with other of their Ijaw relations, they want to go with Ijaw Republic.
General Ditari say he will add their areas to the Ijaw Republic country map.
These two Ijaw clans (Oro and Aminadokiari (Ndoki)
Their areas are not in this map, though they share boundaries with other Ijaws.
Oro people say they are Obolo people,
And Aminadokiari (Ndoki) Ijaws say they are Ibani people.
The both of them are since, already under Ijaw Youth Council IYC and the Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization LINO, but not under Ijaw National Congress INC since.

Ayebapirinye is Kalabari of which was copied by those in Kolokuma. The piriye is Ijo.

Where did Bonny/Ubani people tell you they migrated from Kolokuma? Kolokuma that was not even existing when Bonny dominated trade in the bight of Biafra will suddenly birth Bonny? Is that not insanity? Did any European historian made mention of Kolokuma/Opokuma in their write up? The major people talked about in that axis where Brass, Nembe, Oru and Ijo/Ujo. Those who made Kolokuma/Opokuma relevant were Isaac Boro (Who was from there) and Prof. Alagoa who might secretly have his origin from there before his ancestors migrated to Nembe.

Kolokuma/Opokuma is the native home of Isaac Boro. And it was even through him that the area became popular. I want to believe it was there the Ijos drew their expansionist agenda in the 1800’s until Boro came to fulfil the prophecy in 1960’s. It was even from this belt that the Ijos began a mass migration into other areas of the Niger-Delta. Any wonder the Kolokuma/Opokuma was chosen as the central place to impose origin and main dialect on every Riverian community.

The era of falsifying the scam Kolokuma/Okpokuma origin on Bonny, Okrika and Kalabari is far spent. We are no longer in the analogue era when people just swallow every fairy tale hook, line and sinker. We are in the digital age. And anyone with question can just Google the internet to find first-hand history written from 1600 to 1900 by the European explorers. That was how you guys came up with the scam Perekule (Ijo name) that was swallowed by Bonny people until it was proven that Pepple came from Pepper and that Pepple went by his Igbo middle name Oruigbiji with origin from Ndoki.

But una mumu see your useless write up with no meaning totally rubbish

BKayy:
Physical?
That is like creating problems where there is none.
Like we Ndigbo should go and tell "Osondu" in Opobo with Igbo Language that he is "no longer Ijaw" when he never said that he is one but "Igbo" when his name is literally Osondu.
Lol. Mind you, in all of this we will be doing it in Igbo Language.

Wouldn't that make us appear like mad people?

You people are the ones doing it online. Distorting people's history that's why our brothers are putting a stop to it before it becomes serious.

Like our people say "Wepụ aka enwe na ofe tupu ọ wọọ aka mmadụ"
The people from the place you are claiming get the Proverb I dropped but you. You are the stranger here so get LOST

Go and watch the current video made by the Recent King of Opobo ,he said it there they are Ijaws not Igbos.

Igbos should stop claiming Ijaw territories on Nairaland Alone, go claim it physical.
Those post saying that Kalabari is not Ijaw was created by ibos.
Asari Dokubo who always say Igbos are Ijaw slaves repeatedly, is from Kalabari and he never said Igbos are Kalabari slaves.
But always, he say ibos are Ijaw slaves, and he is also a former President of Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide.
The Vice President of Ijaw National Congress Sir Atamuno A. Atamuno is from Kalabari.
The 50 towns of Bonny LGA, and also the Opobo people, are jointly the Ibani subgroup of the Ijaw people.
Bonny and Opobo, just like Okrika, Kalabari, Nembe, In Bayelsa, Brass in Bayelsa, all use Amayanabo as the King title, and never Eze like ibos.
Im partly from Brass area of Bayelsa.
The rest Ijaw use Pere.
The Ibo spoken in Bonny and Opobo is a borrowed language, and as the Ibo was now killing the Ibani-Ijaw due to the great influx of Ibo from all Ibo land, to Bonny and Opobo.
The Bonny and Opobo leaders, had a serious meeting, and made Ibani teaching, fully compulsorily for all Ibani Ijaw students in primary and secondary school.
Why didn't they make Ibo.
The Secretary General of Ijaw Republic Liberation Movement one of the closest people to General Ditari, known as Hitman, is from Okrika.

All ibo claim of Ijaw territories end online.
Even the online claim they wrote themselves, about some Ijaws not being Ijaws, every Ijaw know that it's ibos handwork writing it themselves, and posing as Ijaws.
All Ijaws, under, Ijaw Youth Council IYC Ijaw National Congress INC and the Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization LINO, are the ones going for Ijaw Republic, without leaving none behind.
Ijaws are in Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa. Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and the Aminadokiari (Ndoki) Ijaws, of whom are Ibani Ijaw people.
All these Ijaws share perfect boundaries with each other, without other tribes, getting into their centre.
They too are under this Ijaw Organizations today, and their leaders told other Ijaw leaders to make sure they are carried along in Ijaw Republic.
This map here, shows the Ijaw Republic map in the Nigerian self determination areas map.
It carries Aminadokiari too.
It also shows Ijaw Republic flag.

Go n listen to the recently King of Opobo that will explain to you that Opobo, Bonny Afam and Ndoki are all Ijaws he said it with his mouth and narrated the history but mumu like you will be online claimingeverywhere.

ekesol:
.

Rubbish you want to claim others territory as Ijaw?.
I:E
Opobo, Bonny, Afam, Ndoki?
You had better refrain from such suicidal act.

Are u free from them,your brother is now a prisoner to Fulani ,have you heard any Ijaw man that is Prison by Fulani till now.
You have no respect for Ijaw people that free your brother Nnandi Kanu when he was first arrested since you people disrespected Ijaws we are not saying anything so the Fulani hold him down like chicken .
Ask Nnamdi Kanu he will tell you is because of Ijaw people they released him the first time. Respect the Ijaws we are not your mates in this Nigerian.

This version is an edited version of the above piece. Typos are regretted. Purpose is to give light to why we hold the position and perspective we hold. Respectfully so too. �

Dear Compatriots

*Miabiye's Double Down On Tony Nnadi Eastern Nigeria foundation of Break Free Proposal from Bristish creation called Nigeria*

I have taken further time and efforts to compile record of facts as evidence of Ijaw Nation Sovereign foundation and how it was schemed by Bristish machinations into British creation called Nigeria.

Review the synthesis of these facts in the Short historical piece above.


The notion that holds that Ijaw rejection of Biafra, Eastern Nigeria or Lower Niger Territory proposition as based on or derived from its experience in Nigeria is not only poorly founded in facts of recorded evidence of history but a demonstration of very poor spectrum of facts, collection, analysis and use of accessible information and proper consultation of people. More that Ijaw-Nation particularly.

No responsible person attempts to secure alliance of peoples and nations by their prescriptive definition of the people and proclaiming such prescription as a mandate of the people when no such mandate is evident as derived formally and officially from the people resolved will.

Holding a solemn assembly in Port Hourcourt convened by an NGO by name LNC who may have invited its associates and friends to discuss its proposal and adopting same in no way concludes that the presents of certain ijaws in its ranks amount to a mandate.

Noble and well intentioned as that may be, it will not be different from Ojukwu Assembling his Bristish Constituted Eastern Nigeria associated of his Government to adopted a Country Biafra and running along with that position as mandate of Indegineous peoples within its territory and Government so constituted.

Do not forget that before Biafra, Ijaws had declared a reaffirmation of its sovereignity in a Republic of Niger Delta. A Republic that Ojukwu himself crushed.

When Ojukwu became aware of what ijaws had known for long and fought against, it was only wise for him to begin by acknowledging respectfully if not appologizingly that his action had been taken by poor knowledge and understanding of the Bristish system of manipulative and coercive gagging of the Will of peoples for thier imperialistic interest.

Ijaws had not only prior to Ojukwu and his family experience on London and Nigeria been to London in many years of experiencing Britain and understanding them and had resisted them.


It was only natural for Ijaws to resist Ojukwu own hurried game to force ijaws into another strange brand called Biafra. A Portuguese name identity that has no meaning or relevance to ijaw identity and autochthony.

Very Naturally, Isaac Adaka Boro, who Ojukwu Eastern Nigeria of Bristish creation was in prison sentenced by Ojukwu's Government to Death.

Ijaw-Nation and people have firm and clear understanding and knowledge of their history and sovereign status.

Those whose conclusion and hold a perception of Ijaw basis of rejection of anything Nigeria to be narrowed to Eastern Nigeria or Biafra experience and so seek to circumvent that a new narrative around the Lower Niger Territory are as guilty as Biafra and Eastern Nigeria narrative foundation.

Continued promotion of that circumventive narrative and blaming Nnamdi Kanu or Ojukwu as the reason of Ijaw rejection of any identity other than its own historical and cultural autochthony is disingenuous, ignorant and crafty.

We have no such case against Nnamdi Kanu or Ojukwu Biafra or Eastern Nigeria.

Both Biafra and Eastern Nigeria are all relics of long chain of British and post Bristish Nigeria that seek to eclipse Ijaw identity and are the infectious influence over the minds of People whose experiences and worldview are shaped by the fraud of Bristish called Nigeria.


Ijaw people will on account of this continue to resist and reject any attempt to recreate these narratives and symbolization as Eastern Nigeria, Biafra or Lower Niger Territory. Nobody should include Ijaw-Nation and it's territory under a relic of colonial definition. We never were colonialized by Conquest or Consent. We rather entered relationships of Trade and Friendship for which we had solid Evidence in Records of Time and History.


We are Ijaws. We are created by God as Ijaws. We had formed Sovereign State as Ijaws. We had entered legal agreements as Ijaws. We have developed political and economic and cultural institutions that are autochthonously ijaw. If you understand this and your respect our will, you will not force any representation of our territory into anything but what we have defined and called ourselves and our territory by.

Those this mean we hate and are not willing to alley with others? You will also be wrong factually and Historically as records demonstrate otherwise, as you will be wrong to hold that we will otherwise.

We understand the value, importance and imperative of alliances. We have a method to such alliance as will reflect our interest and respect those of others. When you get this point and admit to certain previous wrong steps you may have opened up for honest and respectful engagement. Stop putting ijaw territory into some alliances territory or making claims that you have some mandate rising from Solemn Assembly that adopted an Alliance to which Ijaws consented to. It is not true and it is wrong and usurpation.

Everything in Ijaw position predated anything Nigeria or British.

We shall follow up with you on these records with earlier records with Purteguse and Ijaw relationship from far thence that is currently being researched.


Ijaws are over 10,000 of evident migrationary expansion and stay on all its lands on coastal Rivers and estuarine territory it inhabit and identity as Ijaws therein.

Trying to bring Ijaw-Nation and people under some NGO named LNC and Territory is offensive to our sense of dignity and the terms and methods or pretending to have consulted and recieved Ijaw-Nation mandate smarks of the type of fraud we have experienced and become well acquainted with and accustomed to.

We don't have identity crisis in Ijaw-Nation.

Advising against moves to identify us away from who we are is a conscious effort to guide and help you better design a responsive proposal for the success of your Alliance initiative.

We have strong legacy of successful effort in our proud past. We are taking time to organically build Ijaw-Nation into a An Ijaw Nation-State.

That is why since 1989 we have been building what has become INC and all its member organizations like IYC, IWC, NUIS, NAIF and more across the globe.

People need a lot of humility and introspection to truly consider and honestly navigate and engineer their dreams respectfully and responsibly.

Hoping that God grant us all grace. Less media noise and propaganda of false claims to mandate, narratives and facts with more private and respectful interactions will be helpful.

General Ditari, seriously,warns all oil companies, to vacate these Ijaw Republic territories, before the expiry date of the ultimatum.
General Ditari also say that his speech should be forwarded everywhere, so that people who care for their relatives in these Ijaw Republic territories, will call them back home before this war.
The Ijaw tribe was unjustly Balkanized into more than 6 States, when all Ijaw territories share perfect boundaries with each other.
Every other areas mineral resources are for them alone, Zamfara and other Northern States gold are for them alone, the Limestone they use in doing cement, are for the people alone, the Quarry rock, they use in doing gravel for construction, are for their people alone, only Ijaw crude oil that is for everybody.
He also added that, the Ijaws who take bribe, it's little from their own money, they take from, and give to them, and how can a person be bribed with his or her own money.

To the Ijaw people.
General Ditari is exactly like the Moses of the Isrealites in the Bible.
They see General Ditari as the Moses of the Ijaw people.

All the population na scam.
So you no see Zamfara, Kano, kastina etc to Compare with, na Igbo man wey jejeli dey him own u dey eye.
Anumpam.
Same way Isaac Adaka boro , Ken Saro wiwa see Igbo man as his problem and clinched to Hausa Fulani gbam E no take Hausa Fulani to Killam in less than 3 days.
Ken Saro wiwa died regretting his actions against ndi Igbo.
In Bayelsa how many people are ijaw.
You connered some Igbo clan, Ogbia, etc to make up your ghost population.
In Rivers you are no longer relevant because eye don open.
It now Clare that igbos are majority in Rivers
You wanted to corner Igbo riverine communities I:e Bonny, Opobo parts of Andoni , Ndoni, even many parts of okrika as Ijaw
Today eyes don open.
Thesame Adaka boro trained by Eastern region free education fought against the East to support the North and West was killed by both in hit of the civil war.
