Lets get things in perspective. Niger Delta is not a tribe, its not even a people. It is an 'area'. I laugh when and Edo man calls Ibibio man on the other side of the River Niger, his 'Niger Delta brother'. What connection does an Efo man have with Ibibio?

The reality is that should Nigeria break up, it not how someone from Akwa-Cross is thinking now, will he think then. There will be three options for the Akwa Cross man.

1) Leave with Igbos to Biafra

2) Continue with what is left of Nigeria after Igbos leave for Biafra

3) Declare Akwa-Cross a seperate independent state

It will be up to them which one they choose, but option 1 is the only one that will have any immediate foundation

Your igbo divide and conquer strategy on the people of Niger Delta Republic will not work.

Please digest this from the apex Ibibio sociocultural association Mkparawa Ibibio.

Fixey:
The Niger Delta has had economic ties with the SE as far beyond 200 years before now. Whatever lies ahead in the future for the two regions, we maintain peaceful, mutual, strategic partnerships and relationships leaning away from acrimonious issues of the past but with the understanding towards creating a future for the unborn generation.


There's no strife or war between the Niger Delta and SS. Leave the bickering and ancient hostilities, presumptions and leanings on positions of insecurities. As allies in trade, commerce, research, development, economics, sea navigation, marine engineering, deep sea exploration, aero nautical, join defense exercises and similar protocols, I will meditate a peaceful co-existence of tranquility, stability, growth and oneness cause failure to stand together makes us vulnerable to outside forces...

Not in this life, or in the life to come.

We know where to get all of what you mentioned when Niger Delta Republic becomes a reality.

Honestly, none of what they say is intelligible to me but I think I understand what they said.

Why do you people like to recycle old news?

Why not let sleeping dog lies

Kalatium:
I mean languages not tribe/ethnic group

Understand this,

A single language may be made up several dialects. Counting these dialects as different languages is the error that makes people to believe that Kaduna is made up of 20 languages and Nigeria made up of 250 languages.

Note that South west is 99% Yoruba and South East is 97% igbo. Are we to say that the remaining 4 zones have 248 languages?

Kalatium:
Of course. Thats why i said tribes not ethnic groups. We have over 500 tribes in Nigeria alone.

what is the relevance of saying humans have millions of eye cells when you could simply say humans have two eyes?

I believe most of these tribes are just clans, sections, towns or dialects of a larger ethnic group.

With proper ethnic grouping, the tribes in Kaduna may not be up to 10.

Proudly Ijaw.

Haa Ijo!
iin!

Sinistami:
Can someone actually give me a detailed piece about what caused the bad blood between the Ijaws and the Igbos despite both being on the short side of things as Nigeria is concerned? I really need to know since both people before the Advent of Nigeria had birthed great city states such as Bonny , Opobo etc.

What do you mean BOTH PEOPLE BIRTHED BONNY, OPOBO ETC?

Asgard13:

LETS GO

Igbo man, will you keep kwayet!

Igbo man with Igala blood indeed.

RedboneSmith:
Lol. Prof Dike is not your problem. The Alabariye story already existed in records many decades before the 1950s when Dike conducted his research and merely reproduced what had been written before him by the likes of AG Leonard.

Dike is not your problem.

Yeah the good old 50s when the igbo establishment rewriting of the history of non-igbos in the igbo kingdom of Eastern region was in full swing.

The records in Ndoki, Bonny and Opobo are still intact and none of them said anything about Alagbarigha/Alagbariye (a proper Ijaw names) being an Ngwa man.

This statement by Kenneth Dike is grand igbo revisionism of the 50s taken too far, it is simply desperation that is only paralleled by the fulani madness.

AlexBells:
Non allied in this case is referring to the issue at hand where the two involved tribes were allies even against us.

I don't know you, I have not met you before but Igbo province today is different from Yesterday, All the Eastern tribe who rallied round us in time past are our allies, unless if today they chose otherwise, and should we have any issue with those tribes we must exhaust all the peaceful means first so yes, Eastern tribes are our allies and neighbours unless they choose otherwise.

You must also know that Igbo province does not recognize Niger Delta as a people but we recognise you as Ijaw, because Igbo province comprises all of Igboland both the one in Niger Delta and the one in south east and Ezza in Benue.

So to me the Ijaws are our neighbours and friend and to some extent allies but we respect their autonomy, we are no longer in Biafra or Eastern Nigeria where we all had one entity, today Igbolabd is distinct just as the distinct nation we are, you hear in the news recently they are only attacking Fulanis not Hausa/Fulanis so it applies to everyone we are Igbos and that's our decision, we see you as allie but if don't see us as such we have intelligent considerations and reciprocate accordingly

Let me make certain things clear to you.

1. No non-igbo tribe "rallied around" igbo in the past. Even before the war started, we all wanted out of eastern region.

Individuals from non-igbo territory supported igbo, just like individuals from SW still support fulani against their people. It doesn't make us your allies. Truth is, nobody wants to be in alliance with an igbo man.

2. Your recognition or non-recognition of the people of the Niger Delta is irrelevant to us true Niger Deltans. We will always stay United as Niger Deltans against the wish of the igbo nation who has fingered our territory for annexation like the fulanis in the middle belt (indeed the entire country)

Make room for any individual who wish eternal servitude to igbos like that "ebitimi" of a guy inside your igbo land. Niger Delta will not contain them.

AlexBells:
That's definitely a good way to go, if those calling for peace are more than those calling for war, peace may win, I just hope it not late already

Non allied indeed!
Yet you jump on an alliance with a "supposed ijaw" on the first sight without blinking.

Ebitimi44:
Hmmm, I think We Ijaws should go the way of the Igbos ooo, this is getting serious

What is the problem of this chimp?
Are igbo people Ijaw Lord and saviour?

Why are you embarrassing the Ijaw nation, or are you one of them masquerading as an Ijaw?

ChinenyeN:
That’s one, yes. It seems you’re already familiar. That’s good to know.

That trash of a fabrication is alien to Ndoki, Bonny and Opobo who own the history. A crooked igbo revisionist parading as a historian like Prof. Kenneth Dike from far away anambra can not insult our sensibilities with his junk.

ChinenyeN:
No, not all. I don’t claim to know everything, but I definitely know a few things on this subject.

Lemme guess, something like Alagbarigha being an Ngwa hunter as fabricated from the ass of Kenneth Dike?

ChinenyeN:
So. Many. Wrong. Statements.

And you happen to be the one with all the correct statements just like prof. Kenneth Dike who stated this campaign of Misinformation against Ijawland.

Wow, such a barbaric people.

pazienza:
They don't need to. Its a Franchise not an ethnicity. Language doesn't matter. Just wear resource control hat and scream "Awa Oyel", chikena!

See Igala man way you dey claim as igbo

BlackAdam55:
Igbos don't speak the same language either
Ebonyi, Enugu, and co don't speak the same language.

My brother, I taya for these primitive people o, the average Ogbia man understands Nembe, Kalabari and Kolokuma dialects of the Ijaw language.

Yet these cantankerous people who can not understand themselves or speak igbo in their Ohaneze meetings are so obsessed with Ijawland esp Pazienza and Abagworo.

Your leprous igbo fingers have nothing on Okrika people.

We have already begun the pruning of the igbo leprous hold on Ndokiland. Igbo cultural parasitism is a prowling virus that must be crushed.

To many ethnic nationalities have lost territories to igbo cultural parasitism. Ijaw nation has risen, expect the Ibibios, igalas, Idoma, etc to reclaim their stolen territories from Igboland soon, then we shall know what is left of your igbo land or biafra.

Abagworo:
This further proves a point that 1st language is the most important factor in determining ethnicity. Okrika for example speaks 2 languages of Igbo and Wakrike but the 1st language is Wakrike which is a pointer to Ijaw root [s] while the 2nd language of Igbo points to the Igbo influence through marriages, migrations and other interactions. [/s] Ndoki has nothing in common with Ijaw whether in looks, culture and language. [s] Bonny comprises people of mixed ethnicity with Igbo contributing more than Ibibio and Ijaw. Anybody in doubt should do a DNA sampling of Bonny natives and give out the unbiased result. [/s]

Liar liar, pants on fire!

AdakaBoro8:
hmmm. one of ojukwu useful idiot laid to rest. now we are waiting for kanu useful idiot to die.

this is no necessary

If you're asking if the Church is having a militant wing to avenge him, the answer is NO. They might be able to mount international pressure though.

Ekealterego:
Oga stop lying... The writers are not Igbos. I checked who the authors are. I am having a feeling that you are just another divide and conquer agent with the number of lies are you churning out.

Typical igbo, whenever I hit you with the truth, you do this....

Buried with a biafran flag yet Ojukwu his capon was buried with a Nigerian flag...

Anyways, I always knew that Phillip Effiong was no chief of staff (except on paper of course) he was just a useful idiot.

Ekealterego:
The Igbos on the other hand have shown you guys support. The last case being Goodluck Jonathan.. The Igbos took the bullets and all the hate in support of Jonathan but I believe you should not go pushing your luck too far.

Igbos shown us support?
Are you for real or you are joking?

We are yet to get a single show of gratitude from the igbo nation for all we did for you.

Jonathan's govt the only govt that has been fair to the igbos, what makes you feel we should be the ones to thank you for being fair to you people is what I still don't understand.

May I ask whose other option you forfeited to "support" Jonathan?
Rather, if you didn't support Jonathan govt for being fair to igbo (despite all your crimes against us), who would you have "supported", Donald Trump?

You want to turn logic on its head and expect us to thank you for being fair to you because of your foolish pride preventing you from being grateful to the people of the Niger Delta.

FYI, your "support" (whatever that means) is worthless to us. It has always been, and it still is.

Ekealterego:
I guess despite your reach even up to the Gambia, you have been able to maintain your language firmly, or at least dialects of it.... However, you know where your boundary starts and ends.
I know you are driving for the unity of your people, which is commendable and should be supported because there is power in unity.
The Igbos on the other hand have shown you guys support. The last case being Goodluck Jonathan.. The Igbos took the bullets and all the hate in support of Jonathan but I believe you should not go pushing your luck too far.

We are the landlords as far as southern Nigeria is concerned, a migrant tribe like igbos can not draw our boundary for us. We are the ones who will draw your southern boundaries, we've done it before and we shall do it again, this time more precisely.

Ijaws are not know to be migrants. The only migrant tribe in southern Nigeria that rivals fulani in the North is the igbo tribe.

Your legendary penchant for criminal landgrabbing is well known and has left and indelible mark engraved in the memory and psyche of Ibibio nation in what is criminally renamed as Arochukwu, amongst the indigenous Igala and Idoma territories illegally grabbed into the South east.

If you think you can replicate such primitive feat in Ndokiland founded by Ijaw ancestors then you have hit a massive brick wall.

Ekealterego:
Everyone knows that the Ijaws are a migrant group. You are to the sea and swamps with seafood what the Fulani are to the land with their cattle.

Apparently, only densely ignorant and hateful souls like you would utter such nonsense about the ancient Ijo people who are the aborigines of the Niger Delta. Every other tribe met Ijaw in the Niger Delta. They are all our guests and we have them land to settle.

Yes, I said it.
We harboured Urhobo, Yoruba, Efik-Ibibio, Edo, Ikwerre, oru-igbos, ANIOMA, Ahoada etc esp the igbo migrants trying to pay claim to Ndoki founded by ancient Ijo ancestors.

Ekealterego:
I do not know what you want us to look out for specifically.

Below is what YOU and other ignorance relishing folks like you need to look at.

Remember, this is from an igbo writer and the last screenshot says it all.

Hmmm...I am enjoying this.
