Fejoku:
Don't listen to this man. Just Google about the Obolo people of Andoni and see the language they speak. It is not even related to Ijaw. The language is Ibibiod but Ijaws will want to deceive unsuspecting readers that Andoni people are Ijaws. After reading, you can state your findings here.

michelz:
Even the these places you mentioned are all Igbo names - Ndoki, Azumini and Afam. All proper and core Igbo names. The names of villages in Ndoki are all Igbo names. They speak Igbo and practice Igbo tradition and culture. So what are you saying?

meccuno:
The great Igbos win yet again. With historical backings. While the other engages in insults. Nothing upstairs.

PROUDIGBO:
Simply beautiful! Sounds like Ndoki Igbo language!

OfoIgbo:
King Jaja was born Igbo. That alone, trumps them all.

For the killer blow, he practiced the Igbo omenala till he died.

That you wear Versace doesn't make you an Italian.

That your parents carried out white wedding when they married doesn't make them English.

That you now worship the Christian God doesn't make you Roman or Hebrew.

Otherwise show us where Jaja officially renounced his Igbo heritage

michelz:
Are you drunk again?
Ijaws that were wondering about in stupor with empty bottles of ogogoro while little children sang for them? Is there even any notable Ijaw pre 1800s?
Better mind your level, before even what you think is yours will be taken away from you.

Ekealterego:
People still do not understand these guys' agenda... Their agenda is to claim all the sea roots and access and then secondly claim every oil producing community.
The two elements you can see in all their claims are;
1. Oil production.
2. The water mouths towards the sea.

Look at the phantom map they drew. ..
They even continued to Lagos (Ikorodu) until they met their Waterloo. Yoruba people dealt with them and chased them away. See the Rivers state and Akwa-Ibom, they have tried to induct all the people. They are claiming Oron and Ibeno as Ijaws because they produce oil and sea.... irrespective of the language spoken.

IYC and INC is not only a franchise, they have a bigger agenda.

Now they are fighting Bini people in Gelegele over the only access and outlet they could have to the sea and also the prospect of oil
They have a well crafted agenda.

Take your time and check again, when they claim all Eastern Obolo, Oron and Ibeno in Akwa-Inom, they have almost sealed off that whole South. You can trust the Ibibios and Annangs to fight and butcher each other rather than uniting against external forces.

They have also fought from the South West, they have almost taken all Ondo and now they targeted Lagos but OPC annihilated them in their first attempt.

michelz:
Stop this your nonsense rhetoric of " go and claim them physical". Opobo is Igboland. History supports that. You can't wish that away by claiming that they are under one arbitrary group or the other. If they claim to be Ijaws ( which is not so), then when the time comes, they leave Opobo to meet their people in Bayelsa. Simple.

Igboid:
Ndoki youths want to join nah.
Everyone want a slice of the lucrative crude oil crumbs that your Hausa-Fulani friends are throwing to you.
It's the like of Aldophus Wabara that is holding Ndoki youths back.

Wait the day the Hausa-Fulanis are put in check finally by Ndiigbo, you will see your Political Ijaw disappear and have to deal with the reality of Bayelsa and Delta State real Izon.

Igboid:
Like I told you.
Ijaw is Political franchise centred around oil politics.
Andoni people want a bite of the oil protection deal contract so they joined the franchise.
Which is okay as it pays them.
The day Nigeria ends, everyone will bear their fathers name, Andoni is not and have never been ethnically Ijaw.

Igboid:
Opobo originally belong to Ibibiod tribes.
They are currently found in Andoni and Eastern Obolo.
Ijaws are strangers in the region.

Captain8:
Opobo first language is what I post to you to see,,,,,,,,,,,,,, everyone knew it the igbo language speaking by the Opobos is a borrowed one

Arda1000:
claim who physically u mean this people ?

OfoIgbo:
Why do I need to claim them physically when your ass has been kicked legally by the supreme court.

Later on you tell us that Nwaotam is an Ijaw tradition

afube:
Bkayy na wicked sniper, I doubt if the Op still has a skull to wonder what took his head off! we have taken too much insult from these people!

ariesbull:
he is an imigrant

Igboid:
Opobo speak Igbo as mother tongue.
How exactly did they accept Ijaw ?

Arda1000:
that number chim .

That must be ewoo chim that they translated like that chia

GreatBoss:
Bonny and Opobo are under Ijaw Youth Council IYC Ijaw National Congress INC and the Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization LINO.
Why are they not under Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

And why do they use Amayanabo as king title same with Nembe Brass Kolokuma in Bayelsa Kalabari Okrika etc.

Why not Eze.

michelz:
You are just everywhere without facts but mere sentiment. Someone has shown you clear evidence from a neutral observer, yet you are here talking about going to Ibani.
Let me tell you something I'm sure you must have heard before but totally ignored due to the present political situation of Nigeria or your bias:
The more you pursue your agenda of grabbing Igbos across the country, the more you'll be resisted and made to lose even your perceived strong hold.

OfoIgbo:
Jaja had already both his freedom while still in Ubani. The level of illiteracy you guys are showing baffles me.

He took his followers to the new territory of Opobo when he was already a powerful man in Ubani.

And for your information, the supreme court of Nigeria has already made it clear to Ijaw expansionists that the Jaja descendants are the supremos in Opobo. Ijaw landgrabbers attempted to steal the traditional rulership of Opobo some years ago, but Jaja's descendants flogged them legally.

Rubbish.
Peterside is an Opobo man.

Captain8:
I know,,,, what I mean is there dialect is still known.........

Apois and Opobos are really given Ijaw headache...... because they lost their languages to igbo and Yoruba........... well, am glad they never lost their Ijaw identity,, they always agitate for their Ijaw identity

OfoIgbo:
I hope every Ibani man in Bonny is paying the right sort of respects to the king of Igbo descent.

That's all. You can take your ogogoro and drown in it for all I care

Newton85:
Omoyele Sowore not only speaks Yoruba, he has Yoruba names like other Apoi people. While I'm not deciding the ethnic identity of Apoi people for them, it's just a fact that Apoi people have been Yorubanized.

BKayy:
See what Captain Hugh Crow recorded in 1830.
I posted the shot of the numbers but if you need more on the language he met in Ubani and Opobo, click the link.

And please, I am begging you in the name of the Ogogoro you respect and that would be Seaman's Schnapp, I am not here to move back and forth with you

OfoIgbo:
Opobo is owned by Jaja's descendants who are clearly Igbo.

Opobo is even named after an Igbo king of Bonny.

Igbos will win in Ubani and Opobo cases.

Even Dakuku Peterside, the most famous politician from Opobo, accepts the Igbo roots of Opobo

Christistruth00:
Omoyele Sowore is Apoi who speaks Yoruba but no Ijaw
