The Obolo (Andoni, Idoni) People, also known as Andoni tribe, is part of the proposed Obolo State. Obolo people are found in Rivers State , Akwa Ibom State and Abia State. They are part of Ijaw ethnic group, and have historical relations with Oron people, Ohafia, Ogoloma, Ido and Ibeno people of Niger Delta in Nigeria.

The Obolo people, put together, occupied the longest stretch of the Nigeria Mangrove Coastline Belt which also houses the largest oil and gas deposits in the Gulf of Guinea. The Andoni people refer to God as Awaji.[1][2]

Andoni people are not Ijaw. Progenitors of Andoni people are from Oru (Imo and Anambra State). One school of thought had deliberated that the name, Ijaw, was derived from the name of progenitor of Andoni.

They only voted pdp in 1999 not Obasanjo. Igbos have history of voting incompetent fulsnis over capable yorubas because of hatred.

You seem to make fool of yourself with any chance available. In case of SDP and NRC, you conjured Ndigbo would have voted for Abiola not SDP. I guess Nigeria is not called basket of fools for nothing.

seunolu7:
Abiola was the best president never had. A philanthropic business man. He wasn't interested in stealing money. An investor in sports and youths. Free giving. Detrablised. He won votes across the North. Winning places like Yobe, Kano and Kaduna. He won west comfortably. He would have turned Nigeria around.

But see how igbos voted a fulani man, Tofa over Abiola just because of jealousy and hatred. One of the many betrayals of igbos against yorubas.

Yorubas always will remember.

The bolded is completely idiotic. Sometimes, a person wonders if the Yoruba people think everybody in Nigeria is a fool. Who adjudged Abiola as the best president Nigeria never had? If it was not Awolowo yesterday, it is Abiola today and could be Tinubu tomorrow as the best president Nigeria never had? Yoruba had never made anything best in Nigeria till date. Yoruba, who were brothers to Fulani, cannot be celebrated for wining electoral votes in Kaduna, Kano and Yobe. Jackasses who do not know a squat about political party tend to write craps as represented in the above rubbish. Ndigbo always vote along political party ideology baring tribal sentiments. Even Ojukwu lost election when he joined a political party with a different political ideology home to Ndigbo. Ndigbo voted for a Yoruba peep who shared the same political ideology and a member of a particular party. If the reverse was the case, Yoruba would have decamped in droves from the party instead of voting for Igbo peep. It is foolhardy to expect Ndigbo to vote for candidate who flies the flag of a political party which holds ideologies alien to Ndigbo.

Caboceer:
Ipob come write nonsense for here say e be British

Anyway you did npt tell us anything we didn't already know but na that nonsense about Nnamdi Kanu na im you carry spoil everything wey you write

You are one of the reasons Nigeria is youth-less.

The article is typical Nigerian. It has no constructive deductions. Nigeria does not have youths therefore it is a waste of time writing about Nigeria and its youths. In addition, Nigeria is a very empty place in terms of intellectualism.

SaintBishop:
There's nothing like ubani Mr man it is Ibani. It is not our fault that your flat.head ancestors can't pronounce the name.

In 1965, nobody knew anything of Ibani in borokiri. Any so-called Ijaw, especially eastern Ijaw, who became enlightened was due to Igboland. I guess the so-called Igbo had always been better than otherwise.

If Lagos and Abuja are not replicated in the defunct eastern and midwestern regions, Nigeria should run to disintegration period.

All the three pictures on this thread depicted the people of Edo and Yoruba.

EraseTheDot:
It was through the same Uli Ojukwu ran away dressed in a woman's gown. If Obasanjo had laid his hands on him, he would have removed his front teeth and bloodied his nose.



- erase the dot

The same Uli airport, the only one in Africa built by the Africans.

Advocate500:
Are you people not looking for trouble? Is it compulsory to coerce people into your union? Why is it the opobo and bonny people are not the one pushing for this meeting? Why is it's only ijaw people in Bayelsa are the pushing for this forceful union? What you guys accused the igbos of ,you guy's are worst.

The so-called Ijaw Defense Council has already committed a cardinal sin and on its path to suicide. Opu Obu and Ubani are not Ijaw land and will never be. There shall be life after the shithole called Nigeria.

oilyngbati:
If you like, sit at home for a thousand years, your hunchback suplim reader go kpai. If you want other Nigerians to feel the effect of your moronic sit at home, take it to Abuja like the shites did when El Zakzaki was detained. I only blame the Igbo living in the SE that allowed you Ipob terrorists to disturb their peace. After Gov Wike treat ipog like they should, River state has been peaceful ever since.

The bolded carved you into fool's colony. The IPOB seemed to follow the dictates of UN rules on homeland and self-determination. The IPOB has declared the boundaries of their territory which included the entire Igboland and defunct eastern region. I know your intellect is not above fifth grader to realize the intrigue in the IPOB's modus operandi. You simply cannot get it from me. Ode!!!!!

oilyngbati:
ok mr brave man. Why didn’t your ESN/unknown gunmen stop the soldiers and police from making sure the elections in Anambra was held? Guy, I know how frustrating and lonely abroad can be and you are displaying that symptoms here. Get a life or come back home, join unknown gunmen and end up in an unknown graveyard

You are among the silly goons in the shithole called Nigeria who could not discern a sketch on a billboard if given a century to do so. The stance was not about stopping the so-called election in Nigeria but thwart Buhari and Nigeria from imposing APC governor on Anambra State. Are you a learner? N.gbati nation had flooded the society with deliberate goons.

oilyngbati:
Ode! You that is ‘intellectually somebody’, tell us how sit at home will bring your hunchback suplim reader out of our zoo cage? Fool

Only dumbass fools in a given society do not know that "Sit-at-home" is an integral part of political disobedience. The biggest Ode is in the house.

oilyngbati:
You be really mumu man. Your mumu has no cure. You think attacking the police unit unawares is bravery? Ok now that the police and military are well grounded in the SE, let your coward ESN go and confront them now? Your ESN/unknown gunmen are not looking for a fight, rather they’re looking for victims.

The bolded consigned you to dust bin. Is your loved IPOB a country with uniformed armed forces? If you think such act is not bravery, I suggest your "n.gbati" world of brave peeps pickup AK-47 for a change. Agbaya!!!

oilyngbati:
What has this got to do with Yoruba? Or you dey wake up dey see Yoruba for your dreams? You fools equates gra gra and irrational actions as being brave. What has your namadi cownu’s formation of ESN and unknown gunmen brought to your region? What has killing and attacking police and army unit brought to you now? I know you are hiding in overseas and there you shall die because you will never visit the Igboland again.
In your SE now, as a result of namadi cownu’s irrational actions, the following is happening:

A. Massive capital flight as the rich are leaving the SE for other regions. I know of 2 rich families that have relocated to Lagos and bought houses worth 50M each, enrolled their children in an expensive private schools.

B. Businesses are now getting low patronage as a result of your Monday sit at home.

C. Your people are afraid of visiting their land, and you know (I don’t expect your brain to pick that up) when people are not going home, no more is flowing, less village projects in form of home renovation and so on!

The bolded in this discuss guaranteed you are intellectually nobody.

Meet Late Major Adewale Ademoyega.

He was one of the five mutinous Nigerian Army Majors who led the 1966 coup that ended the first democratic Nigerian government.

Adewale was born in Ode Remo in present-day Ogun State in southwestern Nigeria. He earned a degree in history from the University of London. He was one of the first graduates that enrolled as an officer in the Nigerian Army along with Lieutenant Colonels Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu and Victor Banjo, and Majors Olufemi Olutoye, Emmanuel Ifeajuna, and Oluwole Rotimi in the 1966 Nigerian army. Adewale Ademoyega was the last graduate to be commissioned directly into the Nigerian Army Infantry.

During the Biafran civil war, Adewale fought in the "Nigerian Liberation Army", a part of the Biafran army led by Lieutenant Colonel Banjo.

Major Ademoyega was released from detention by Biafran Head of State Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, on August 13, 1966. He then formed the Biafran 19th Battalion and subsequently took over for Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna, who also helped with the 1966 coup as the chief of staff of the Liberation Army. Unfortunately for Major Ademoyega, His excellency Ojukwu received some intelligence that some officer would overthrow him. Major Ademoyega was detained along with several officers and comrades. Several of these officers would later be shot by Biafran forces. Maybe Ademoyega was spared however as he truly had nothing to do with this. He was detained for the remainder of the civil war.

Ademoyega was briefly 'freed' after the war. However, Federal forces put him right back in detention for his participation as part as the Liberation Army.

He was finally released along with twenty others during the 1974 Independence Day amnesty.

“Why We Struck”
Major Adewale Ademoyega's book about the military coup d'état is regarded as one of the most authoritative regarding the first Nigerian coup.

Adewale Ademoyega died on February 21, 2007 after being ill for sometime.

The bolded contained manufactured craps with no love for accuracy.

So you mean the stream of thought asking you to go to DSS and free your hunchback suplim reader is a deranged one? So you dey fear? I thought you clowns are formidable?
The shites of kaduna went to demonstrate in Abuja when their leader was in Abuja custody. They didn’t disturb the peace of folks in Kaduna. Yours on the contrary, you’re disturbing the peace of your people, because you’re a bunch of cowards. A warrior goes out to fight in other regions, not bringing death and destruction to his own region. Mumu man!

Before my naked eyes, Nigeria police and members of the so-called law enforcement agents were forced to abandon the wear of issued uniforms by agitators for self-determination. Agbaya!!! is complimentary.

oilyngbati:
Ode ni e! You brainless clowns have been shouting biafla biaflaud since time immemorial on this forum. Your hunchback suplim reader even say any day he’s captured, you should burn down the zoo, so what are you cowards waiting for? Your madness only starts and ends in your SE. You can’t even cross the bridge to Asaba. Goat

What a dumbass fool. I am contended of the fact that Yoruba cannot start anything or even make political noise solely by themselves. I remembered the goons who shock in their pajamas like dried leaves on kolanut trees when the son of the soil was killed in the capital of Oduduwastan. Talk of coward, can anything be more cowardice than the silly act from western region of Nigeria?

Nigeria is neither a nation nor a country. The continuous existence of Nigeria is a waste of time.

oilyngbati:
Your suplim reader is in our zoo cage, so muster courage and go to DSS and free him. Old goat!

Any goat with such stream of thought is a deranged goat in animal kingdom.

Gbagura:
Ibos won't like this list. Watch them showing their inferiority shortly.

Role interpretation has become rocket science in Yoruba land. I had rather have one in the so-called Nollywood than Hollywood. You are the inferior who displayed inferiority complex by the silly expression that Los Angeles is more important than Lagos. I do not give a ratass about Hollywood.

When Nnamdi Kanu said Nigeria is a zoo, some scrupulous rats in Nigeria got twisted.

Bro, did you forget the writer was a dumbass Nigerian? Nigeria is not called basket of fools for a joke.

Fame99game:
Is this not exactly what ipob is accusing President Buhari of doing
Who elected the Dos
What is the qualifications of the Dos

I guess you are typical Nigerian who could fail any possible written or unwritten examination given to you. IPOB has never told any sucker that it practices democracy or has conducted election under the guise of democracy as idiotic Muhammadu Buhari and delinquent Nigeria have done.

The bolded is a fact. The most idiotic aspect of it remains the deceitful shenanigan by silly Nigerians to uphold the inconsequential mantra of One Nigeria.

Someone said "Fulani is Yoruba's number one enemy and that the British handed over Nigeria to them."

*This is not the truth. The British did not hand over Nigeria to the Fulani.

Parliamentary elections were held in Nigeria on 12 December 1959. The result was a hung parliament with no clear majority to form a government.

Zik's National Council of Nigeria and Cameroons (NCNC), came first with 2,594,577 votes to get 81 seats.

Awolowo's Action Group (AG), came second with 1,992,364 votes to get 73 seats.

However, the Ahmadu Bello's Northern People's Congress (NPC), came a distant third with 1,922,179 votes to get 134 of the 312 seats in the House of Representatives despite getting less public votes.

The above three major political parties in the election did not get enough number of the seats to form a government. An alliance had to be formed to determine who would rule.

It was a no brainer that Zik's NCNC and Awolowo's Action Group should make a coalition government as they came first and second respectively.

Awolowo, then humbled himself and volunteered to be a Deputy Prime Minister or Finance Minister in a coalition government with Zik as the Prime Minister. This was because the Zik's NCNC party had more public votes and seats than the Awolowo's Action Group.

Zik invited Awolowo’s team to Asaba, the gateway between the Yoruba's Western Region and the Igbo's Eastern Region to hold coalition talks. The talks were a clever ruse to keep Action Group’s hopes high, so that Action Group would be kept distracted from meeting with other minor parties for talks, including: Northern Elements Progressive Union with 8 seats; Mobolaje Grand Alliance with 6 seats; Igala Union with 4 seats; Independents Candidates with 4 seats; Igbira Tribal Union with 4 seats and the Niger Delta Congress with 1 seat.

Whilst the Action Group team was waiting in Asaba for a meeting with the NCNC, they read in the news that Zik and the NCNC had gone up North and clinched the deal with Ahmadu Bello on forming a coalition government with the NPC.

Tafawa Balewa, a Fulani, would be the Prime Minister of Nigeria while Zik would be the figure head Governor-General. Even Nkrumah of Ghana was shocked. He asked Zik why having spent so much energy fighting for colonial emancipation and then settling for a toothless bulldog role when Nigeria needed him the most.

Zik wrote in his autobiography why he did not form a coalition government with Awolowo.

In 1947, with over £13,500 raised from the Yoruba people and given to the NCNC, Zik had led other six prominent NCNC delegates to London to protest the “obnoxious laws” of Governor Arthur Richards. The trip ended in failure with backbiting, abuses and accusation of theft against Zik. Zik’s opponents at the NCNC, accused him of squandering the money and the trust of Nigerians.

Zik replied insinuating that the Yoruba on the team, that are: Mrs. Fumilayo Ransome-Kuti, Prince Adeleke Adedoyin, and Dr. A. B. Olorunnimbe, were the problem.

There erupted a heated and prolonged press war between Zik’s Political Reminiscence in his West African Pilot and H.O. Davies’ Political Panorama in the Daily Service. This led to Igbo in Lagos rushing to buy machetes in large numbers thinking a tribal war was imminent.

The Governor and his General Secretary, Hugh Foot, quickly called Zik and H.O. Davies to order at the Government House.

Zik went away with the resolve that “the Yoruba must not be allowed to rule over others in Nigeria”.

And afterwards in the Daily Service published the speech of Zik in 1949 about Igbo being destined by God to conquer and rule over others. This among others, will explain why Zik rejected Awolowo's offer of a coalition government in 1959 and instead worked with the Fulani.

The Fulani had been reading Zik and the Igbo through the lens of his 1949 speech ever since.

The Fulani way of neutralising Zik when the opportunity came in 1959 was to offer him a powerless post, which surprisingly Zik and the NCNC dutifully accepted in place of being Nigeria’s first Prime Minister.

Zik had thought that the Igbo can easily manipulate the Fulani in place of the educated Yoruba. He thus manipulated Balewa to arrest Awolowo in 1962 and to have him jailed for 10 years in 1963.

Zik also manipulated Balewa to remove from the Western Region the Edo, Urhobo, Itsekiri and Western Ijaw that account for 70% of the oil wealth in Nigeria and created for them the Mid-West Region.

Zik's hatred for the Yoruba gave the Fulani the impetus to rule over others in Nigeria.

The Igbo coup plotters tried to undo Zik's mistake in 1966. And unfortunately, they killed other tribes and left theirs, which resulted in the civil war.

Britain did not really hand over Nigeria to the Fulani. Nigeria was given over to the Fulani by the Igbo.

However, to hold on to power in Nigeria, the Fulani enlisted the backing of the self-serving career politicians in England.

Not many Igbo especially the young ones know this narrative. I don’t think the Yorubas, even their elders remember this. Has the leopard changed its spots? Yoruba Ronu!!!!

Prince Toyin Akingbade Gcfr

Yoruba and their idiotic dribble. Only in the land of fools that a party which won 134 out of 312 seats is termed as distance third.

Yoruba which claimed had no soldiers to face the mutinous elements of Nigeria army from northern region. Even when the son of the soil was killed in Oduduwa capital. I honestly believed Biafra would have kicked the ass of either Arewa or Oduduwa with ease.

This is one of the reasons most Nigerians are jobless. Did the bolded translate into a question of being an Ijaw?

Leave Abuja and Lagos today and we will give you Biafra tomorrow

A typical deceitful Nigerian. I had always maintained the so-called silly restructure must either be tailored toward the route of Abuja and Lagos being created in the defunct eastern and midwestern regions or disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria remains most intelligible option.
