Igboid:
No Ijaw was ever involved in trade in the coasts.
You had not the acumen for trade.
You couldn't even if you tried.
Don't kid yourselves.

Igbo rulers of Bonny and Opobo sold everyone as slaves including Ijaws. You weren't sold much because you lack the population. When one is 24hrs immersed in alcohol (Ogogoro)like your pirate ancestors were, sperm production is usually impaired leading to high infertility rate.
However, the few of you they could catch, the Bonny Igbo rulers sold.

See this Berbice creole Dutch language formed from Ijoid language by Ijaw slaves in Americas.

I could help you copy and paste this comment if you want,if it will relieve your pain.

Igboid:
I will be in Bonny this December to dance Nwotam with Ugele Mkpa Agu and Uwa Wu nke onye cultural groups.

Guess what? We will all communicate in Igbo and chant Ubani Nma nma nu!

Your pains are just starting.

Good luck to and please make a video of it.I will like to see you.We wait

Igboid:
Lol!
They were not afraid of you pirates.
They were just not there for fight, they came for trade with the industrious Igbos of Bonny and Opobo and naturally wanted to go about it without much hassles.

You were just savages. An inconvenience they wished they could do without.

What your pirate ancestors were doing is not something to be proud of. But then again you have no shame.

With their Piracy they exported your fathers as slaves.It pains you so bad you can't accept the truth.

Trying so hard to make yourselves feel good.Your pain and anger will eat you up.They were sold off as slaves, slavery is over.Move on!

Igboid:
Ijaw came from Sierra Leone to Delta/Bayelsa, and from there started their pirate activities all over the coast of Bight of Bonny.
You are already so frustrated that you had to go and open this new account to have a fresh start.

I want to make you more frustrated.You dream and talk Bonny all day.Jobless lot.

Better go back to your shops in Aba and Onitisha.

Long throat!

Whether by arbitration o or by fight o, now Igbos want Bonny they will get it. Sorry bro.

If the Portuguese,Dutch and British were scared of Ijos,na ordinary Igbo go fit do anything.

Your eyes set on the sea and Bonny oil and gas.Una no fit see am.

Why aren't you as desperate for Ika and Ekwerre?

SlayerForever:
From this I gather Bonny kingdom was wide. Having Bonny Town as a kind of main town or capital. Which could mean there were sections closer to Kalabari who would claim Ijaw, and possibly even claim the town as back then. However, the town wasn't theirs as it was founded by the Ndoki.

All the communities, Kalabari Ibani and the Igbo founders can coexist together. But the problem started when the Ijaw became greedy and wanted ownership of the kingdom. Fabricating various falsehoods and using federal government backing to terrorise Bonny Igbos during and after the war.

I remember now, about 4 years ago when researching about Bonny in IPOB, I came across a news publication dated 2011 when Ojukwu died. It was from Bonny, under the auspices of Bonny Igbos Association or something like that, headed by a certain Comrade Ogbonna and he spoke with the confidence of one who knows who he is.

There was a week's mourning or so, declared for Ikemba. And the king of Bonny was notified officially of the mourning activities, while inviting other nationalities to join them in mourning Ikemba.

For the love of God whatever happened to that association!

Whenever I am chanced I will dig up that newspaper publication and provide it here!

The story is changing gradually.No more Ijaws are from Sierra Leone,or no historical mention of Ijos,or no Ijo in Bonny.Now it's partly owned by both.

Igbos left their forest,crossed non-igbo villages and landed in Bonny.Confused nincompoops.

Slaves claiming the land of their masters.

Igboid:
The language spoken at Bonny today is Ndoki language.
What exactly is your point.

You have no point.Just rest abeg.

You and your fellow Igbos keep repeating the same lie hoping it will become the truth.

You post accounts that appears to favour your narrative, deliberately leaving out others where Ijos were fingered as indigenes of Bonny.
Go and read these books since you no get work but Bonny matter.
