Thoh: shut up there. Yorubas are truthful people unlike igbos who see bad as good
Nna shut up! you no get sense. The same Yoruba wey deal with Jonathan that is hundred percent better than this government,, then finally kicked him out. Go sidon for conner, you no get talk.
DubaiLandLord1: We have no issues with people from the South South.
That's why Lagos and Oyo is supporting Rivers State in the VAT war, but, Ebonyi is against it.
The South West and South South are One.
All this is because of Tinubu presidency? Gosh! you people ehn. You were the most vocal critics of Jonathan's presidency. You led a protest against him in 2012 and kicked him out while bringing this disaster of a government, now see your mouth as e don change finish. You guys are really treacherous by nature. God forbid!
AniOmaa: Nobody gives a sh*t about Ikwerres, they are too inconsequential to the Igbo nation and I don't see any Igbos even begging them, it's the other way around, recently it's been Ikwerres begging and forcing the Igbo identity on their various Facebook groups now that they know are not so important afterall. For the record I'm a proud Ibusa man from the Enuani nation in Delta state, and we are more than proud to be Igbos, it's a rare privilege to be Igbo... dem no dey buy am for market.
You useless Ijaws on the other hand are just homeless irritants, nobody in the Niger delta like you people cause you are trouble fermenters anywhere you go. Document your history right now and all the chronicles of ijaw modern history will be clashes with almost all your Niger delta neighbors over annexation of their lands... from Gelegele in Edo state, to Yorubas in Ondo and Lagos, to Urhobos, Itshekiri, Isoko, Ikwerres, Igbos, Obolo etc... na curse dem curse una?
Ijaws are already destroying Rivers state with black sooth. The Po-fire is dominated by Ijaw militants in the creek. The government seems helpless. Those guys are not just armed but are ready to die with you in that illegal and deadly gas flaring business they are all into.
They packaged him and sold him to Nigerians. A section rejected him, they called them children of hate, aka 5 percenters. See the end result. Now, they have started their heavy propaganda to hate and fuel hate against that same section of the country, so that they can install their grandpa. Anyway, we sidon dey look. Nigeria will eventually kataput from bad governance. Umu Ekwensu
This useless OP. You are needed on this thread. Terrorist are already turning your useless region into hell.
Senator Shehu Sani has lamented the failure of the current government in tackling security challenges across the nation.
The former lawmaker, who represented the Kaduna Central during the 8th National Assembly, in a post on his verified Facebook page while reacting to the killing of about 42 persons in Sokoto State recently, said the incident would have triggered outrage if it were the previous government.
According to him, those who are keeping mum in the incessant killings are not different from the assailants.
The post reads, “Forty two people were gruesomely killed and roasted in Sokoto. This is an atrocity that could have triggered an outrage and utter condemnation of the failure of the Government, if it had happened under the previous administration.
“Those who are silent are same as those who are indifferent; those who are indifferent are same as those who perpetrated that crime.
“Nowhere in the World are human lives so cheap, dispensable and disposable”.
DAILY POST reports that armed bandits on Tuesday ambushed some travellers on a road linking Sabon Birni local government area and the village of Gidan Bawa in the State and burnt them alive.
justtoodark: very useless people....everything like hot air from this people....
na only nigeria....?? many of them abroad dont have nothing either.... i remember my igbo delta ex....always askin for money....very strange....
i didnt had money issues with other nigerian women....
terrible....
Your tribe is the most useless on the planet. What do you guys have compared to the East. Can you compare your useless Uhrogbo or whatever the Bleep you call a tribe to just Nnewi? Very useless tribe of apes and baboons. God punish you there, anumanu!
IronHead99: Just like your foolish Yorubas aligned to brought monumental failure as the president, after subjecting Nigerias with all manners of hardship, you still went head to project another failure Pro Max to be president, and you want the Igbos to start hailing and clapping for you. Death on arrival.
Allow Yorubas to have their way. Its the same pattern. When they packaged Buhari, Igbos was scapegoat as the hate child. They have started calling us names again, so they can enthrone another grand father. Let them have their way and make their god president. We go dey here laugh as the country move from worst to worst. He who laugh last, laughs best. Someone once said, that Nigeria will naturally disintegrate due to bad governance.
DitariDisciple2: We don't claim people online we do it physical. Take it or die.
You have just one life, like every man on this planet, so stop running your mouth, Mr. Man. You are a fucking mortal man that will die, so what's the noise for? Afo anu
JANK23H: Ijaws occupy just one village in Bayelsa.
Now that the world has that information,then what?
Does that make the SE paradise?
Will that increase your FG allocation?
Rather than create a group to move your states forward,you decide to invest your money and time on propaganda against the Ijaws.
If you don't have jobs,why didn't you apply for N.Power?
You guys started it. when you started laying claims to Igboland and Igboid tribes, as far as Abia state, were you expecting a hug? We could have worked together to build a formidable economy block this part of the the globe, but una say no. Go to your various groups on Facebook, 4 out of every topic is Igbo. You all are getting obsess with Igbos, just like ndi ofe nmanu.
I don't know why my Igbo brothers allow their emotion to get a better part of them by commenting on such useless thread. The OP is a known troll, that hates anything Igbo. Ignore his thread and watch it die a natural death. What do we have to do, to at least make you guys see reason to ignore ndi Ofen manu and their supporters?
Viraltrends123: Video of a white lady crying after being scammed by a fraudster has gone viral on the internet. She claimed her social media accounts were hacked, and some money was stolen from her by the fraudster.
I insist Igbo is not an ethnic group but a political franchise.
If it is not bigotry, then I don't see why any ethnic group should be reduced to a mere political franchise.
Most people accused Buhari and most Northerners of tribal bigotry but here we are displaying bigotry.
If Ijaws are not a ethnic group, then Igbos are not an ethnic group.
If you check my history on this forum, I have defended Igbos especially during the unnecessary militarization of the Igboland by the Federal Govt.
I am disappointed that some Igbos are no different from some of the bigoted northern oligarchs which I have been defending the Igbos against.
I now know why some person will only shout marginalization when they are not benefitting from the center
If you don't forcibly annex groups that don't speak your language as yours who will call your organization a political franchise. You have to do your home work. One criteria should be shared language and culture, not just topography.
Igboid: Says the fish brained man who was quoting a document that never mentioned Bonny as his proof of Jos pirates being Indigenous in Bonny. Dude I already have a good measure of your intelligence, and it wasn't up to scratch.
sinteiking: Is it possible to land grab people's ethnicity?
Ask yourself that question. Does Ndoki in any way speak anything related to Ijaw? They are not even bilingual, but you are claiming them, knowing fully well that Ndoki is the root of Opobo and Bonny in extension. Like I said, you may end up triggering a never ending conflict if you don't remove your hands from what is not yours. We know how old Rivers state was bedeviled with crises, until Bayelsa state was created. Make una rest, una no wan gree.
sinteiking: The bone of contention here is if the majority of people from Opobo and Bonny identify themselves as Ijaw or not.
To get a answer, is to meet directly with the local folks on ground and not just testimonies from some random unverified individuals
You altered their history. You pushed it down their throats that they are descendants of slaves. And now you are ambitiously working to enforce your language on them, making them believe that their mother tongue is an error. How desperate can one be? You guys are just pure evil in your quest to grab more lands for yourself.
sinteiking: Anybody can just wake up and claim they meet an anonymous
Agreed, but this is no made up story. However, whether you believe it or not, that's not the point, your land grabbing sponsored movement has to stop, else you guys could end up triggering an unending conflict in the Niger Delta.
sinteiking: Most of them arguing blindly have not even been to Opobo or Bonny to get first hand knowledge of this two places.
They sit in the comfort of their home and assume that a set of people are Igboid whereas they have not even ventured to meet this people for real.
I can't seat in my home and assume the igboness of Anambra state or the Ijawness of Opobo, if I have doubt about their ethnicity, i venture out to this places and carry our a first hand investigation
You guys should chill. Your land grabbing antics is getting out of hand. You claim even down to Ndoki in Abia state, is that not madness? A people that don't speak same language nor possess same culture with you. Bonny is contestable, because of Finima and the rest, but you see Opobo, those are pure Igbos. Besides, I met a Bonny girl this morning, who said bluntly she is not Ijaw but Egbani. What do you say about that?
Finally, what we have been able to achieve in this thread is to establish that the Igbo presence in Bonny is Aboriginal and not only via slave trade.
This is very important, because no one have been able to argue this point convincingly and provide evidence for it before now.
The second stage is awareness creation. We have to find a way to put this information out there in the real world and make it a common knowledge! Social media would help on this. And I reckon this should move smoothly.
The next stage is to get the academia involved. Our professors in history at our universities in SE should earn their keep. We need them to ruin Alagoa intellectually by publishing books on Bonny and Opobo to correct Alagoa manipulations and force Alagoa into an intellectual debate. It would be interesting to see the old fox grasping at straws like JANK23H have been doing on this thread.
Like Eastlink noted, Alagoa cannot be dragged by people like us. We need our big wigs in the Academia to do the job! Gidi gidi bu ugwu Eze. Ekelu Olu eke!
Then the most important aspect, we need a political will. And this can only happen when we start putting people who reason beyond women, drinks, parties, stashing of public funds abroad and jetting off to live abroad come the end of their tenure, in positions of power in Igboland. This obviously cannot be achieved with IPOB methods that shies away from taking control of Political power in SE and the enormous finance that this could give to us to finance a Better positioned and reformed Ohanaeze to do it's ground job of cultural unification of all Igbo speaking people. We have to start putting people of substance who reason beyond their clan , village, town and state. People willing to close ranks with counterparts from Igbo speaking regions in SS, SE and NC to achieve a purpose for the benefit of United Igbo nation. Zik was Better in this aspect, that was how we got Osadebey to be the premier of Mid Western region.
In my opinion, this is the challenge facing us.
But we are already doing alot just by discussing this topic.
I love these your points, but don't you guys have a private groups where you can table this points? You don't have to inform your enemy that you are coming, and from which angle you are coming from. Strategy and tact is crucial here.
Igboid: Wait! You are an Afonja? So you will go to Bonny and tell the Igbo speaking natives there that they are descendants of Igbo SLAVES and not descendants of Bonny Aboriginals Igbo kings like Okpara Ndoli, Kamalu, People, etc?
And why should an Afonja be interested in Bonny and Opobo, don't you have Ilorin to win back from your Gambari masters? Are you this jobless?
Nna ehn, this nairaland fear me. So nwokem ma anhu wu afonja? A Yoruba guy keeping watch over Igbo vs Ijaw matter! this speaks volumes. All these other monikers could be Yoruba bmc guys masquerading as Ijaw men here.
Truthvalue41: Later when a non-igbo says he doesn't like Igbos, people will start calling him "igbophobic", you guys are a hatefilled bunch, all you seem to dream of all day is ways to hurt other people, if the devil was a human he would probably be Igbo.
Now let us discus how you basically think you are as strong as the British empire was, because your dream seems to be about you basically doing to Benin empire's capital what the British did. The British and Benin empire fought a war and you iPod deluded fools are far from being as strong as the Benin empire or the British empire.
You guys will never make friends and quite frankly, I used to pity Igbos in the passed and I always stood by you guys when I felt others were unfair to you, but not anymore ! You guys deserve whatever you get, and stop claiming my Anioma people, we are not part of your gang of cannibals, we are part of Benin empire. All your hatred comes from the fact your ancestors used to eat humans. That cannibalism is encoded in your dna and you act it out through your hatefulness. This is the reason why nobody likes Igbos, even southern Cameroonians who used to be part of eastern Nigeria had to join Cameroon in order to not be in the same country with igbos. You guys caused a civil war, you guys go all around the world pushing drugs and making every country think all Nigerians are drug dealers... Nobody likes you guys, maybe it is time to question your behaviour ...
Most of us condemned that post. That moniker, if you are familiar with it on this forum, usually go off bound to state what is far from reality. Don't use one man post to judge an entire ethnic group.
The injustice done to ndi Igbo is the demon that is still holding Nigeria down. It is the root of all agitation. Imagine how developed Nigeria would have been if justice and truth is the bedrock of our existence. But so long a major ethnic group is been treated as a conquered group, backed with state sponsored lies, plus deliberate land grab cum neo colonization, the country will keep retrogressing. Allow justice to reign supreme and see the country move forward.
cheruv: [s]Why take them to ICJ when our generals are itching to do battle? Using coordinated moves and tactical manoeuvres, armies of our Southern command can easily detach the Okirika, Ụbanị and Opobo territories... And if they remain recalcitrant, troops of the Western command would launch a full scale invasion of the Izon homeland in Bayelsa and Delta states [/s]
Even if you have a plan to attack, must you spill it out here? Emotion always overrule your senses.
Idiko1: Eleme has never and will not be Ogoni. Mbaoli, Mbanabu, Mbanator Mbano, Mbaise, Mbanasa and Mbaitoli are very relative to one ethnicity in Nigeria.
Eleme is not Igbo. They speak a language that is very different from Igbo, despite sharing boundary with Obigbo. Eleme is a part of Ogoni. Stop acting like a typical land grabber you accuse others of.
