One of dividends of silly and goofy Gowon's "One-Nigeria". I have no pity for those who fought Biafra and met death in hands of the shithole called Nigeria.
BiafraInc: The names of people and places you listed are for the few Ijo migrants in Opopo. Watch the video below to hear the names of the original owners of the land, the Igbos, and their dialect in Opobo.
Eastlink: I just thought it wise to share the above in this thread. I culled it out from another thread on King Jaja and after careful study got the meanings. What do you guys think?
Bro I understood your plank. Most of the names Ijaw tend to proffer were heavily distorted by omission or addition. The jackasses did not want to include Okpara to Ndoli and tend to add "s" instead of "z" in Azumiri. The baggers have changed Amaikiri to Amachree. I guess the Ijaw had problem with Opuamakauba. Ijaw have droped names such as Ediabali or Otazi.
KoleDgreat2020: If NDA is located in d southern part of Nigeria, whether East, west or south and it was attack by either IPOB or Yoruba group or Nigeria Delta group, by now, missles will be dropping from d sky, massive invasion and killings by d military would have taken place. But now, Fulanis are involved, everywhere is calm. Animal kingdom
You could not be more correct with the bolded. I could not believe soldiers are not molesting citizens of Nigeria in Kaduna State as the goons would have done in southern Nigeria. People, something has be done to either disintegrate Nigeria or make it one for all.
Captain8: small boy oni of ife that has not even spend up to 70years on earth have to tell your existence...isn't that prove lots that the igbo race has not even spend up to 300 hundred years on earth?
small boy ife cannot testified to Ijaw existence as it is way to higher to his comprehension.... Thats it is Oduduwa that know Ijaw existences.... Uzo.... Ijaws are even brothers to Yoruba in ancient
I have always thought you are Ijaw who is ill-educated. The so-called western Ijaw in Nigeria left much to desired in the area of human intellect. Besides the act of turncoat and help from goofy Gowon, the western Ijaw peeps were backbenchers.
dre11: Bandits who attacked the Afaka barracks of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna State, shot dead at least two officers and went away with another personnel in an onslaught on the country’s foremost military training institution.
SaharaReporters learnt that the bandits invaded “in their large number” and shot dead two officers identified as Lieutenant Commodore Wulah and Flight Lieutenant CM Okoronwo.
They also abducted Major Datong while 2 Lieutenant Onah sustained gunshot injuries and currently receiving treatment, SaharaReporters was told.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that the bandits who attacked the barracks around 1am on Tuesday are still believed to be inside the academy.
A reliable source within the barracks said security had been beefed up within and around the barracks to stop the bandits from escaping with the officers.
“It was a terrible experience; the bandits took advantage of the time when most people had gone to bed to attack the barracks.”
“Right now, the whole barracks is under lock and key and security has been beefed up so that the bandits cannot leave the barracks because it is believed that they are still within,” the source had said.
One of the officers who was injured in the attack is currently being treated at a hospital within the barracks.
The source said that there are, however, fears that the bandits may decide to kill the officers in a bid to escape.
The Academy Public Relations Officer, Major Bashir Jajira, did not respond to calls put across.
Ychick: Please if you don’t understand the culture of the Ijaw city states of the eastern delta. It is important you ask. Under the acculturation system of the ijaw city states of the eastern delta. There are 2 ways to become a citizen. 1. By birth 2. By adoption where a head money is paid. (siwi igbi). The literal meaning of Jaja’s full name Jugbo Jugbo fem is somebody bought somebody else. So of course he is of Igbo descent and he was bought by Anna people and became his child by adoption. In ijaw society nobody is a slave, he was raised as a child with full rights of the Anna people house that allows him to even replace his father as chief.
Now on the issue of Amachree, I am a direct descendant of Amachree (8th great great grand father), and King Abbi (5th great grand father) any of my brothers can become Amayanabo of Kalabari (New Calabar) if they contest and win. Amachree’s mother was a Kalabari woman from the original Kalagbea ward. But his father was a freshwater Ijaw man from the central delta. He is not of Igbo origin, although he bought a lot of ibo people from the interior to expand the Kalabari population, and reinforced the idea that all Kalabari people are his people. There is a saying that King Amachree o e da fe a or inyingi fem- meaning if he did not buy your father, he bought your mother. Now on Bonny, they migrated from the central delta- fresh water ijaw land, and stayed for a while in ndokki, where the group split into 2, and some went to Bonny which the new indigenes called Okoloba. In Bonny, with the rise of the palm oil trade and the large number of slaves from the ibo interior. Bonny made a different decision than the kalabari’s by making ibani ijaw a secret language for the elites, so that their numerous slaves will not overthrow them. So ibo became the trade language. This decision means that someone like Jaja who was the foster child of a big chief spoke fluent ibani because he was an elite, and I have read diaries of the British consul trying to settle the fight between opobo and bonny chiefs, with Kalabari and Okrika chiefs as mediators for both groups. All the chiefs from the 4 kingdoms were speaking ijaw because the eastern jaw dialect of kalabari, Okrika, bonny and opobo are mutually intelligible. Now, in new calabar all new adoptees, we don't call them slaves, had to learn the kalabari language, and in fact your ability to speak kalabari determined how fast you could integrate into your new society, that is why in kalabari land. Ibo never gained a foothold like in bonny and the subsequent state of opobo did. So of course we too had lots of people from the ibo interior acculturated into our societies. But, you are an ijaw person, not a slave and you are accorded full rights of a full citizen. So the whole calling Jaja a slave is a joke gone too far. He was the pampered and privileged child of a wealthy chief.
The so-called Anna Pepple was not Ijaw. What does Opu Obu mean in Ijaw. The silly Anna Pepple was a nickname.
mrksquare: When a slave is bought those days, everything about his identity changes. Slave could be akin to chattel. Quite well Jaja is of Igbo origin, but was a chattel to the king of Bonny.
Even to be war canoe chief in Okrika, you have have a storey building and must be a man of means. The ijaws do not make paupers kings and chief.
So that in it self, remove every tinge of his igboness. Beside, he wasn't the only founder of present day Opobo. They went as a horde to locate the land Opobo. But he was fortunate enough to be made a king. Probably because he was the most wealthiest amongst the hordes.
Those days and even at present amongst the ijaws, kingship is reserved for people who have the financial war chest.
There were actually nothing about Ijaw in Ubani or Opu-Obu (Opobo).
NGpatriot: Going by historical events, they created all our problems, they started coups with bloodshed in Nigeria right out of the gate and end up creating mistrust, tribalism, tribal hostilities and instability.
You should have been man enough to allow them have their country. The jackasses who really created "Mistrust, tribalism, tribal hostilities and instability" in the shithole called Nigeria precipitated war against Biafra. If Biafra was left alone to live happily afterward, there would have been a different narrative today.
HEAVEN4444: US emission laws are not as stringent as that of california ? is california not in USA ? are you sipping burukutu again Brunclezuma ? its too early for sapele water ooo bros
Poster you responded with the above comment is a typical Nigerian. Most Nigerians have a thinking issue.
Nigeria is indeed a basket of fools. How does a person think car manufactured for Nigeria or other places than US will pass the strict inspection for US Specs? It is a boneheaded act to send a car from Nigeria to US. What a bunch dunce.
AfricanColumbus: The existence of war canoes amongst Igbo groups without Ijaw influence is rarely mentioned. That would suggest there may be need for a crosscheck.
Any chance this is related to the war canoes of southernmost Igboland?
The so-called "war canoes" associated with ijaw are not really canoes mounted with cannons but ceremonial canoes. Aboh was a powerful kingdom which controlled the lower Niger.
Juliusmalema: Illusions are real. Go and station more thugs and touts are various junctions to be attacking innocent men and women going about their business and inflicting them with wound, burning people's car and beheading people...
such power of terrorism.
So much power that couldn't effect any good thing in abia his state
Rightly put “Nnamdi kanu controls many thugs, touts and terrorists than MC oluomo
How are illusions real? It appears your silly imagination is playing tricks with your psychotic skull.
Juliusmalema: Typing from one hell hole in california.
I don't take people who doesn't even know the road to their community serious
even their traditional weddings that gave birth to most of their mothers are done in US but they will come to claim Igbo more than those living in igboland
Uchu nweru grade......ana sokwa umu agaliefu.
It is true that one criminal can easily recognize another. The statement in the red aptly describes the poster. The joker's plank of arguments does not indicate a person who knows the road to his/her community.
yanabasee2: I don't care... You Mazi included it... so I'm making it a sound announcement for you folks.... Southsouth will have it's own republic sooner...
Shut up your putrid mouth!!! There is nothing such as southsouth intellectually, cardinally or ordinally.
notoriousbabe: 1) I constructed 22 roads in Alimosho and refused to award any of the contracts to Aregbesola and co.
2) I insisted that contracts that had been awarded to party leaders under Fashola must be executed before they can be awarded new contracts under my regime.
3) I wanted to phase out Danfos and Area boys from the streets of Lagos and introduce smarter means of transportation without Area boys and Agberos.
4) I refused to pad the budget with 10% for the house of assembly members led by Bayo Osinowo and Mudashir Obasa.
5) I refused to grant the concession of 4th mainland bridge to Tinubu’s Hitech
6) I refused to increase the amount of money being paid from the state revenue to Tinubu through Alpha Beta from 10% to 20%
7) I developed Epe. Epe was never in their master plan.
I refused to support Aregbesola and Bayo Osinowo’s senatorial ambitions because they are not Lagosians.
9) I refused to use Lagos state funds to finance Osun elections.
I knew you, Ambode, were doing the correct things for Lagos State hence your removal as governor.
Captain8: do what your useless greedy fathers did and see us repeat Adaka Boro and Biriye unto you people again.... oya try it na... carry your biafra flag or anything of it relate enter Ijaw land and see worst massacre of your life.... useless creatures who so obsessed with Ijaws...
The fools you named in the bolded do not ring a bell in the neck of my wood. Oloibiri is now an overgrown farmland. What a dunce.
slimghost: Igbo kwuru si na-atuo ilu nkirika nkata agadi Achiri uche na aka. Nobody called his name but he is here ventilating
The statement accredited to Mazi Soludo, if it is true statement, is a bone-headed stream of thought. Nigeria has university graduates who cannot write to save their lives.
Imokay: Foreign mercenaries that Ojukwu gave a fake Biafra bond as payment. Many of them never got paid for their services to Biafra. One of them is the late founder of P&ID company and has vowed to get his money back from Nigeria by any means including fraud
Which of the founders of P&ID company? How did P&ID company business with Nigeria concern Biafra and Ojukwu?
theTranslator: Do you know that about 5 Yoruba officers fought on the Biafran side? e.g Banjo
That's different from the un named foot soldiers o.
That many Yoruba elites supported Biafra even with the threat of prison? e.g Soyinka
We were mostly neutral until Ojukwu tried coming to the West and killed Banjo
The bolded is one of the most illogical and idiotic crap from Nigeria. It is probably propagated by those who had their heads in the sand. It is completely idiotic to introduce the plank of neutrality to Nigeria/Biafra war saga. By August 3, 1967, Yoruba and western regional government of Nigeria have publicly declared its support for Gowon and Nigeria. Sometime I wonder people who write such goofy stuffs as shown in the above post have any good use for the Calendar.
