ChangedMan1999:
Like the way I extended your mama's womanliness

ChangedMan1999:
No problem.

But, it will happen after you have been chained in a mental asylum, where you should be.


I know that you are worrying about who will pay your psychiatrist fees.

Don't worry, if I sell the Ogogoro that your tribesman gave me as gift, I will use the money and pay your psychiatrist fees.

When you are giving a room, in the psychiatrist, please try and locate, and send my regards to Long john Nengi.
His is a good friend of mine, from the same tribe as you.
Ogogoro retarded his brain cells.


Give me your parents phone number, so that I will connect them to this special psychiatric hospital that I am talking about.

Over the years, the psychiatrist have been curing all manner of madness. I am sure that your own madness won't take them more than 7 years to cure.

ChangedMan1999:
Shut up.

Never in your life insult Ndigbo, without provocation

ChangedMan1999:
Sorry bro

When we were still in primary school, we used to sing:

"if you have a problem,

and you don't know what to do,

just pick up your telephone,

and dial his number;

J.E.S.U.S, Jesus"


So, bro if you are ashamed that you are an Ijaw man, just pick up your telephone and pour out your pains to your creator.



Don't let the devil use you, by telling you "insult ndigbo"

Ndigbo are not your problem.

You and your tribesmen are cowards; hundreds of years ago your ancestors were opportuned to settle in Niger Delta. They never knew that the had pitched their tent on "liquid gold" (oil). After the independence of Nigeria, the northerners seized the liquid gold from you, because you don't know what it is. And, now that you know the worth of the liquid gold, instead of you to fight and take it back, you deviated into insulting Ndigbo, that are not your problem.


Don't, worry, when the oil runs out, your people will sing "ah ah, these people have raped us without condoms"


You have two options now, number one is, take my advice, and number two, is go drown yourself with Ogogoro.

Jostoman:
ATIKU is coming

BKayy:
The porters weren't picked from the same community, that's why each extended family in Ijaw local government of Bayelsa have different language.

E shock you say we know?

ChangedMan1999:
I feel your pain.


My advice for you, is after God, give thanks to the Europeans, who made it possible that your Ijaw tribe wasn't swallowed by the expanding Ndigbo.


We are away that, every Ijaw man on the surface of the earth, has Igbo genetics through intra tribal marriage.


Why won't you be in pains, when it is pathetic that if the so called Ijaw people meet, the will need English to understand themselves.


Bro, don't drown in your tears; there is another hope in paradise.

Malawian:
It is because they couldnt say where Ijaw came from since their Language and Culture sticks out like a sore thumb in all of the Niger-Delta. If only they knew the Ijaw were immigrants from Togo.

Bravetunde:
So it is ijaws that don't have bad attitude.
I'm ijaw and igbos are my brothers

EastisBae:
I know you're envious that Igbos have a cordial relationship with the Akwa/Cross. You call them docile because they don't go about constituting nuisance like you guys?

FYI, they've gone far ahead of you ogogoro drinkers and have steadily uplifted themselves with the proceeds of crude oil unlike you guys. Is there any town or city in your ijaw land that can be compared to Ikot ekpene and Eket? Talk more of Uyo and Calabar. They even have a viable airport and airline yet you guys can't boast of anything except shouting our oyel, our oyel.

Ibibio, Efik, Ejagham and others within that axis have always seen Igbos as dependable allies throughout history. Go and read about the exploits of Margaret Ekpo when she was living in Aba during the colonial era.

In Biafra, they didn't betray Igbos the way you ijaws did. Ojukwu always knew he could count on them and that was why he gave their sons strategic positions in Biafra. His Vice, Philip Efiong who he eventually handed over was an Ibibio man, others like Oko Okon Ndem also played pivotal roles and they stood by Ojukwu till the end!

Whatever happened between the Aros and the Ibibios was during the "dark ages" and it happened in other places too whenever a particular group is significantly stronger than their neighbors.

To show how close the Igbos and Ibibios are, there are indeed some Ibibio communities around Akwa Ibom boundaries with Abia State who prefer to be called Abians despite Akwa Ibom being an oil rich state!

So there is mutual respect and understanding between us and that's why you're so angry

OfoIgbo:
So Igbos and Efiks are being vilified in this thread. Don't you think this brings Igbos and Efiks together.

Is this not already counterproductive before it starts?

ChangedMan1999:
I feel your pain, that till the second coming of Jesus Christ, ilorin is forever Fulani land

If Delta sold Igbo as slaves, why is Igbo the first language of Delta north.


Please, don't forget to tell us how the so called Yoruba in Brazil found themselves in Brazil.

Of course, ewu na okuko knows that the where sold as slaves by Bini people.


Don't try to push under the rug the fact that women of Dahomey subdued your ancestors.

We haven't forgotten that one Etsu Nupe raided your land and took your ancestors as slaves.

Neither have we forgotten how Bini empire delt with your people who have boundary with them.

PressMyButton:
Ibos hate it when you expose them, they might even cry on their favorite Mod to close down the thread.
In addition, the Aros were the Ibibio slave merchants who sold ibos off as slaves across the slave ports.

BKayy:
Eastisbae and other sensible Igbo people please ignore and allow the stupid thread die to either die a natural or turn to Afonja and Jo men reunion ground.

Don't fall for the Ego manipulation

Their plan was so obvious that everybody saw through it.

EastisBae:
Don't mind the Efulefu raised to power 100! Some of these juvenile delinquents parading with Igbo monikers can be irritating sometimes. How can a normal human being claiming to be Igbo open such thread? What does this deluded piece of shit aim to achieve with such stupid thread?

I can decend heavily on any other ethnicity in Nigeria but you see the Akwa/Cross, I will never do that on them. If this boy actually know his history he wouldn't be acting so foolish.

OfoIgbo:
And coming to think of it, NEIGHBOURHOOD OF BONNY, doesn't necessarily mean BONNY itself. I suppose that's why he sketched the map to show the true extent of Igboland, which obviously includes Bonny.

Igboid:
Basden gave a description of Igboland and went on to represent it in a map.

You provided the map.
Now here is the description.
He noted also the Delta regions of the Igbo being of different topography as the hinterland.

OfoIgbo:
You are still not getting it. The AMADABO brouhaha of a few weeks ago, gave a little insight into the ancestry of the Bonny royal family. The publications, by the dissidents and the publication by Bonny indigenes, clearly laid to rest, the ancestry of the royal household. They are clearly Igbo which is why the Ijaw-inspired coup was attempted.

To make your case stick, you have to show us what Basden said about the royal family. Show us a snippet where Basden claimed that from his interaction with the reigning king of Bonny, that the king told him that the Bonny royal family was of Ijaw ancestry.

If you can't show this, then you have no point.

Anyway, Basden has already given us the map of Igboland, so we are alright with Basden

Igboid:
Nope.
It proves nothing.
You are over reaching. Haha!
Basden never interviewed Bonny chiefs and couldn't have been able to make that conclusion.

izac82:
lol. so you mean all Igbo speakers in Bonny are slaves?
What height of arrogance this is man?

Igboid:
Basden talked of Igbo slaves in Bonny being non Indigenous.
He made no note on Bonny chiefs and kings.
Is this piece of information lost on you?

Those who made notes on Bonny kings and chiefs all without exception got told by the kings that they were of Igbo origin.

That's the missing link to the blank Basden left.

OfoIgbo:
Well, the leader of that same expedition, Dr. Balfour Baikie, in his own official account made it clear that, Kalabari people referred to Bonny as Ibani. That Igbos referred to the same place as Ubani. This is likely to be more accurate afterall UBANI has a meaning in Igbo.
Ibani has no meaning in Igbo, so it must have been the way Kalabaris pronounced Bonny, coining their own from the original UBANI, by the Igbos.
I also know Ibani has no meaning in Kalabari, so they obviously derived that name from the original Igbo word for Bonny, which is UBANI

Okoloma is the UBANI people name for Grand Bonny, and Okoloma also exists in Ndoki-Igbo territory. There is no Okoloma in any Ijaw areas, so the Igbo ownership of this territory is not in question.

I have attached Dr. Baikie's take on this issue, and as the leader of the expedition, his account is the official account. Dr Baikie authenticated John Adam's and Crowe's account of the original people of Bonny. Igbos own it.

Alabo7978:
But guy you are dull
You pronounce cap as okpu.
That's by the way.


The opu you talk about means BIG
The ijoid people normally name this names to two brothers.
For instance;
Opu'ekule
Kala'ekule

Meaning senior ekule and junior ekule or big ekule and small ekule.
Try get sense for once in your life!
Words or spellings cut across tribes, nations, even continents.
So with this your stupidity, the Japanese footballer known as Itachi will be doctored by you to be Igbo.
I can imagine Ekealterego and ofoigbo saying Itachi is a corruption of chetachi or kachi.
Grow brains!
Grow sense!
Opu in ijoid tribes is big.
E.g Opu-alabo, opu-senibo, Opubo, opubigamabiri etc.
Try get sense.

9Pluto:
Stop being ridiculous/silly with someone trying to give an igbo identity to itachi which is a Japanese name. Igbos and Japan don't share any heritage or geographic boundary.
All the places where igbo identify with has properly documented records to support their claims as well as language and cultural uniformity(from Delta to Rivers). Rather it is ijaws who keep claiming people whose language and culture has no relevance to their own. From Warri to Brass, Abua, Bonny,Opobo,Ndoki, Andoni, Obolo, Ogoja etc The claim continues. You guys need someone to tell you the truth at all times and I am glad that there is a litany of well informed igbos who keep showing you the history you are trying to falsify.

Igboid:
It's very important, because Basden was particular at the Igbo slaves he. Found on Bonny who were rightly not Indigenous there, and then erroneously extrapolated to cover everything else Igbo in Bonny.
At no point did he try to find out the origin of the heads of houses of Bonny.
He ignorantly assumed them to be non Igbo even without getting any information on that from them.
Basden opinion on this is therefore flawed and pales in comparison when placed side by side with those of Captain Crow, Baike and Glynn who interviewed both the Igbo slaves and Kings of Bonny.

Thank you.

Igboid:
Basden at no point interviewed the chiefs of Bonny on their origin.
Infact his work was never about the origin of Bonny.
He merely assumed that because the majority of the slaves were of Igbo origin and because Igbo hinterland was far away, therefore Igbos were not Indigenous to Bonny.

If he interviewed the Bonny chiefs and asked for list of past Bonny kings and their Origin like Arthur Glynn, William Baike and Captain Crow all did.
He would have gotten the same story of Bonny founder being an Igbo from Igbo hinterland!.
See Glynn, Baike, and Captain Crow quotes on that.

OfoIgbo:
Please when you attach snippets of information, tell us who wrote it and what year the book was published, so we can compare with earlier writeups on Bonny.

Secondly, you are lying. I will look for the map later on today and also display what title was given to the map. Not all these falsifications of the map that you are giving here.

Thirdly, why is the royal family of Bonny, of Igbo ancestry, and has always been so throughout history, if Igbos are not autochthonous to the land?

Igboid:
Yet you rushed to quote Talbot who only made a guess using "Perhaps" on the antiquity of Ijaw, while directly quoting same Captain Crow you don't take serious on the Igbo origin of Bonny!

You don't take Captain Crow serious, but you quote a book written by a man who took him serious enough to quote him.

OfoIgbo:
I will be happy for you to also attach the map of Igboland that Basden drew. That will make you cry.

Igboid take note. Basden killed Ijaws with the map of Igboland that he sketched in his book
