I don't support stealing/looting. However, it's better those goods were stolen than burning and wasting away. At least, this way, they still serve a purpose.

You unknowingly still support looting and stealing.

One is a team player, the very nucleus of his team. He's irreplaceable!

The other is spoonfed the sweat of everyone else in the team just so he can look good and stay happy. Unlike the first guy, this other guy gets carried by his team, then he takes the glory.
He got booted out & his ex team is doing awesome. His ex team mates that have worked so hard over the years to make him look good are balling now, as they don't have an overrated parasite on them anymore.

I bet this OP doesn't get that his post is even trolling his Portuguese gay lover.

If there is true federalism, every State in the Niger Delta should be able to meet up with the required fundings.

Not true. With true federalism the rate of profligacy in these states will just increase. Their lot will worsen or remain the same. What drives development is vision, love of people. It is not the amount of money available for spending

This is gross abuse of the children and their mother. Sad. The only thing worse than this is killing the woman of which I tell her to beware of her life at this time. This man can go to any lengths if he can do this. To all those supporting him, you don't know what you are doing to your lives.

You will get the same average price depending on when you book. Book in advance and you pay 33,600. Its a mix. Lagos to Yola is 95,000. This assertion is not entirely true.

So sad

I am so sad and angry. How lonely and abandoned she must have felt, incarcerated in a strange land. I can't wish this fate to my worst enemy. Sad.

You tried but i am still wrapping my head around it. Thanks.

I feel your post. Nigerians are thoroughly oppressed people. We seem to have accepted oppression as a way of life because we are so disunited.

9Pluto:
A lot of debates or arguments have been going on mainly between(igbos and ijaws) about the identity of Bonny and Opobo people. So much that lots of indigenes are confused about their own identity. The reason for this is not far fetched. The igbo language is an indigenous language in both places and while most inhabitants bear English names, some bear ijaw names and few still retain their igbo names. However, I will try to be as neutral as possible while I implore you to be a little objective as we embark on this historical fact check.
Most of the arguments in my opinion have been nothing more than mere conjectures. For instance, ijaw people claim the igbo language spoken in both places is foreign or creolized version while trying to force inhabitants to start learning an entirely new language different from what they learnt at home.
We have seen both igbos and ijaws trying to make their own interpretations of what they think must have happened and as such both of them twist words to have meanings in their their own language.
For example:
Ndoki-ndoki/aminadokiari
Ibani-ubani/ibani/igbani
Amanyanabo-Ama onye nabo/
It might interest you to know that the title Amanyanabo use by ijaws originated from Bonny. The igbo interpretation means, “The town/community of 2 kings/persons”.
Bonny traditionally had 2 kings as documented by Captain Hugh and he was friends with both men who held him in high esteem.
King Pepple and King Holiday were both kings that reigned in Bonny at the same time.


To understand the reality of who Bonny and Opobo people are I would be rellying on the Memoirs of Captain Hugh Crow of Liverpool(1765-1829) and I implore any true son of Bonny or Opobo to consult this book or any other one written before it to really find out their identity. If you do not have much time, you can read from chapter 10, however reading the whole book gives a huge insight into slavery. It is important to note that while the author confirmed Eboes/igbos as natives of Bonny, there was no mention or acknowledgement of ijaws. But I am using my discretion to assume that the ijaws were the Brass people as the author asserts that they came from the Brass country which is located North West of Bonny.

Impotant dates:
Captain Hugh Crow of Liverpool(1765-1829)
King Jaja of Opobo 1821-1891
Technically King Jaja was born 12 years after slave trade was abolished.
Slave trade was abolished in 1809 by Sir Wilberforce.
Apart from being a popular slave merchant, Captain Crow(a.k.a Play man) was very popular with Kings and Natives of Bonny. He was so popular that he was invited to crown one of the Kings of Bonny at a time and he was regularly invited to help resolve palaver in the kingdom. He was captain of the last ship that left Bonny with slaves after slavery was abolished.

The authors memoir is insightful for many reasons:
It rendered a vivid account of what trans Atlantic slave trade looks like. In his assertions, slaves taken off the West African coast to America were better off than their countrymen left behind in Africa. During the period in review, whites were also slaves and most Britons including the author became prisoners of the French.

The author asserts that:
Bonny people are chiefly a mix of Eboe/Igbo and Brass/ijaw people.
He described/mentioned the igbo country in the hinterland and the brass country lying north-west of Bonny.
However, most of the details of daily living amongst the natives was more in tune with igbo lifestyle.
He talked about igbo native doctors he referred to as dibia and the enormous influence they wield in justice and health administration, even the kings respect them. He also described details of igbo marriage customs and funneral as observed in Bonny.
He talked about the use of elephant during the commemoration of King Pepple's father 10 years after the father's death. He mention the value of elephant tusk.
Contrary to conjectures that the name Pepple was European's attempt at pronouncing Perekule, the author asserts that Bonny people derived joy in bearing english names as he himself was responsible for crowning a King who he named after an English prince. An incident that excited the populace. He confirms that both King Pepple and King Holiday were igbos.
He described in detail the physique, including complexion and character of different tribes eboes, brass, appas, quaws, ottams etc

The author described one Chief Fubara who was an acquaintance of King Pepple. He asserts that Chief Fubara was not an indigene of Bonny but a stranger who migrated from his country during a crisis with a false claim that he was a warrior in his native country.

The author proved that ijaws were not selling igbo slaves as claimed in some quarters. According to him, everyone/every tribe was sold as slave. He described instances where some igbo chiefs set people up with their beautiful young wives and victims eventually pay a fine or become slaves. He explained the reason why more igbo slaves were sold. They were more relatable to Europeans than most other tribes.

Captain Hugh is credited with one of the earliest attempt to create an Eboe/igbo dictionary.
The author asserts that Opobo is an Igbo name for male children.
He also said that natives are often marked according to their origin and that Bonny natives often have short cupped perpendicular markings on both sides of their temple(this is consistent with the igbo tribal mark).

He confirmed the existence of Cannibalism, that Andoni was considered a dangerous place to venture, the fact that Calabar people eat dog meat, the influence of Benin empire, that some Brass people were usually employed to make salt during dry season under the Benin empire amongst other things.

I was planning to post pages from his write up to buttress some points, unfortunately i cannot do so on this forum as it seems to permit posting only few images at a time. But i will post some.

CONCLUSION

Bonny and Opobo people are a mix of Eboe/Igbo and Brass/Ijaw people in origin. This document however asserts a more igbo origin or dorminance as most of his history of the ancient kingdom was about igbos. This perhaps explains the existence of the igbo language spoken there and the presence of igbo masqurades like nwaotam. Shalom

P.S: I am being challenged to prove that Brass people are Ijaw people, so I must state once more that this was an assumption on my part and it remains to be proven or disputed.

Please where can I get this book. I want to read on know. Thanks

When I never reach 5 girls weh I don really shag...


Omo..... Its not easy to have self-control oh.... the girls I've shagged so far are girls I have dated and planned to marry.... but separated due to one thing or the other...


Na it person go don shag reach 5k.... Omo.... I dove my hat!!

You are an example. We are not animals

Buhari had consecutively Edwin Umezoke and Chuba Okadigbo as running mates. I cannot recall the order or respective years. This will not be the case if Buhari is patently anti Igbo nation. The relationship we have with Buhari should be investigated. At the beginning of the APC regime, it is very possible that a wedge was deliberately set between Buhari and the Igbo for political reasons. There was no need for it.

It's very clear that the post war strategies to keep peace and move on after the civil war have failed. They are not working and will never work. Nigeria will be a great country if only we can change strategies.

The North deprived abiola presidency. The same Yoruba merged with the north to help buhari to become president.

Igbo's rejected APC as a fulani party.

Igboho was arrested in benin, they Yoruba's are not sitting at home or making the north their enemy.

There was ENDSARS in lagos, the Yoruba's are not burning police stations and killing police officers.

Are you aware that within 10yrs after the civil war the Igbo teamed up with the north to produce both president and vice president. How does this square with your stupid comparison.

Igbo embraced PDP and still do because it had a national outlook and far less tribalism prone than APC was and still is.

On igboho majority of yoruba still believe in one Nigeria because it favours them immensely. They will be hurt like the Igbo if they are treated the same way. Prove to me IPOB or ESN is responsible for all those attacks.

During end SARS several public and private properties were burnt in lagos.

Abeg keep quite.

I am happy for him to be the next governor. But your assertion is not far from the truth. He might decamp to APC or PDP if they will the next presidential elections

Because Him Tu Lie has no concrete plan for SW. This man has nothing but disdain for the SW and yorubas. I have never seen him in the news interacting with any yoruba or attending an type of event in ibadan or akure.

He is only in lagos to fleece the economy there. He will halt all infrastructural growth in the southwest like the Red and blue lines just like GeJ and other PDP governments to spite yorubas.

Peter Obi has no friends in the Southwest. He is clannish and tribalistic, hiding it under the innocent guise of false statistics. He will be defeated enormously no matter the opposition. Ko ju be lo.

Eschew mischief, envy and jealousy. Peter Obi is what Nigeria needs now. He offers a solution the will affect all parts of Nigeria evenly. He is bringing low cost governance, reduced government interference in private enterprises, cost savings, building up external reserves. He is not coming to further the status quo government of patronage. He will do things differently

SlyDev:
This is simple now

ibo = Fulani Atiku + igbo peter obi
Yoruba = Fulani Buhari + Yoruba Osinbajo

It only Yoruba in PDP doing yes sir to Ibos when they can rule with APC

It's only a fake Yoruba that will not vote for Tinubu or Osinbajo as president, have ibo ever voted for Yoruba before? No!


God bless me and Yoruba people

Igbo voted Obasanjo twice. Try and reciprocate.
