All of them are unique in their ways

Attah fought the federal government and brought all the goodies Akpabio and Udom are now enjoying
They aren't and will never be anything close to Attah,
Udom is even trying to get the IOCs down here, Akpabio did nothing

100% agree. Every one is a master in a bull run cos almost every c. oins pumps. Wait a while, more incoming red days, all this mac44 and linus55 ppl will disappear. This sub will be quiet, . They think cry.Pto is forex. All the forex traders will go back to thier unit. The gamblers will disappear cos no more money to DCA. .
Btw, anything under 53k will start DCA for only b. T. C and e. T. H. No one knows shit! Access your risk and trade accordingly.
Not here for anyone in particular but for newbies who think watching videos on TA will help your trading in cry.Pto, you are in on a long run. Concentrate on FA

I am part of the Nigerian delegation to the Maritime Sector and Harbour Development programme in Seoul, South Korea. Led by Nigerian Ambassador to South Korea, Ambassador Ali M. Magashi, the visit will help offer inputs for the development of lbom Deep Seaport.

The visit will also enable Akwa Ibom State tap into the broadening bilateral relationship between Nigeria and South Korea, especially in the areas of maritime security and economic development.

Having invested so much in the Ibom Deep Seaport, the administration of Governor UDOM Emmanuel will continue to seek ways that would ensure the Ibom Deep Seaport is optimally beneficial to Akwa Ibom people, when it is finally established. On our part, we'll continue to work tirelessly to drive Governor Udom Emmanuel's lofty vision for Akwa Ibom State.

Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Emmanuel Ekuwem and Chairman of the Technical Committee for the Realisation of Ibom Deep Seaport, Mrs Mfon Usoro are also part of the delegation.

God bless Ibom republic
God bless Ibeno and it’s islands

If only Akwa Ibom would follow the Ibom City Industrial Project... Search for it and find it... It started with a Concept, Demonstration, et al. It's supposed to be a 25year plan to create another Dubai/Japan in South South. It all started in 2010... to continue 2035 in SMART Phases...
Some1 truncated this vision by not following the schedule & removg their legs from the accelerator... Guv Udom seems to be resuscitating it... Kudos

Akpabio destroyed the master plan, built a stadium where it shouldn't be.
Built Tropicana in a business district, now Udom is building a worship center in that location don't they know in years to come the traffic in that axis will be hell?
Akpabio built e-library another waste and distortion instead of completing the science park
Oblong Victor Attah was and still remains the greatest

There is nothing technical in crypto. Find a good coin and good usecase, watch if it has been pumping for long, buy and go to sleep. Set your take profit target when it gets there, it triggers.

If you are a trader, watch the set orders when your coins is pumping. Put a sell limit. If you notice so many orders on the same sell limit as you, reduce your sell limit. Its like ariaria market. Once too many ppl want to sell at a particular price, you can reduce yours to sell faster or else when btc dumps on you, your own don finish. Experiencr is the best teacher. Crypto no dey respect technical analysis.

I was talking to an Igbo friend of mine today and he told me that about 25% of the Igbos in Anambra are originally from Igala in Kogi state. I have been hearing this for awhile now and It has been said several times that even the current governor Willie Obiano is an Igala man. Please how true is this and can anyone here confirm this. Thanks

pazienza:
The Aba in Aba Ngwa does not have the same meaning as that in Ibibio. We have Aba all over Igboland.
Aba keleke
Aba Agana
Aba Omege
Aba Cha

Etc. Are they all Ibibio lands as well. What you did here is spread of falsehood. I can as well claim that Uyo is Igboland. We have streams all over Igboland called "Uyo". Does it make sense to you?

Abiriba means "Ebiri aba" which in Igbo means "If you live, you will become wealthy".
It was never Ibibio land. It was Igboland all from the very beginning as you can see from the name.

Ngwa means Ngwa Ngwa, which in English translates to Fast Fast! It's Igbo. The name came about when a group of Igbo people migrating from Imo to Abia suddenly became separated by a river. While one group was quick to cross the River before the River became impasseable, the other were busy roasting yam and by the time they were done roasting yam, they could no longer cross the River as the volume had grown.
Those who crossed the River (Imo) were called Ndi Ngwa Ngwa, meaning people who were fast, while those who were cut off by the river because they were roasting yam were called "Ndi Ohuhu ji".
In time, Ngwa Ngwa became Ngwa, while Ohuhu Ji became "Ohuhu".
This is the story of Ngwa. It has nothing to do with your Ibibio concocted stories.

Arochukwu has always been Igbo. They call themselves Okeigbo, meaning Great Igbo.
Yes, Arochukwu was established in a previously Ibibio land, but it was not straight forward. It was achieved by a Union between the Igbos, be Akpa (From Cross River) and some indigenous Ibibio people.
The Ibibio and Akpa elements were very minor and were quickly assimilated by the overwhelmingly Igbo population there.
Arochukwu means "God's spear". "Aro" means "spear" in Igbo. It has nothing to do with Ibibio.

No Igbo hate Ngwa or Arochukwu people, we are all Igbos, stop making things up.
Nsibidi belongs to Ejagham and not to Ibibios, you copied from Ejagham just like we did.

Ndiigbo who are neighbors to Ibibio borrowed some Ibibio culturally practices, such as Ekpo and Ekpe cults, it doesn't make them Ibibios, it's just what it is, they borrowed an aspect of your culture they feel is good.
Igbos close to Bini borrowed BIni cultural practices, Igbo close to Igala borrowed those of Igala.
But these were never one way traffic. Those Igbo neighbors including Ibibio also borrowed one or two things from Ndiigbo.

Other than Arochukwu, no Ibibio land is occupied by Igbos, but Efiks (Ibibio cousins) occupied and have now claimed parts of Igboland now in Odukpani LGA, and the Ibibios are still dragging parts of Ndoki land in Akirika.

Oshi5403:
I Have Extensively Studied The History Behind The Relationship Between The Benin Empire And The Yoruba Various Kingdoms From Different Sources.
But I Am Yet To Ascertain Who Is Superior Among The Three Most Respected Kingdom In The Present Day Southern Part Of Nigeria History Namely;
*the Oyo Empire Headed By The Alaafin Of Oyo,and Founded By Alaafin Oranmiyan
*the Benin Kingdom Headed By The Oba Of Benin,and Founded By Eweka,a Biological Son To Oranmiyan And
*the Ile Ife Kingdom Headed By The Ooni Of Ife And Having Oduduwa As The Founder.

The Binis Claim They Are Superior In The Sense That Oduduwa Was A Banished Prince From Benin Kingdom While The Ile Ife People Claim That Oduduwa Was Never From Benin.The Alaafin Of Oyo Also Has The Belief That Hes Superior Due To The Historical Connection Of The Prowess Of Oranmiya Among Other Things,In The Whole Yoruba Land.The Benins Even Claim They Are Not Part Of The Yoruba Tribe.

So,lets Clarify Ourselves.
Who Is Superior?
What Is The Connection Among Them?

Using authority, fame and wealth
Oba of Benin, then Alafin and the very last is the Ooni.

Oba of Benin has biological nonsense with the Yorubas, forget all those nonsense Awolowos tales by moonlight jargons

"The Awori are partly from Dahomey and
partly from Benin. My forebears came from the riverine area
through the Bight of Benin and settled in Badagry for a long
time before moving down to Lagos." If this so-called Ajayi Bembe truly said this, then he must be the greatest fool on earth? Aworis from Dahomey? Lol, Binis and their lame revisionisms though.

Who are you?
A well respected hard core true born lagosian whose family is known to the Oba is talking, you are here making noise

TAO11:
I’ve been a little busy ni jarey brother. Don’t mind those jokers.

No part of “Lagos” belongs to Benin in actual fact.
————
There is the popular but false need by Bini revisionists to point to the island, “Eko” as the part of “Lagos” owned by Benin.

Such attempt is a dishonest attempt at modifying the actual nuances of the history.
————
The historical facts are: that Aworis are the foremost or earliest settler of the region now called Lagos. And this includes the island, Eko. They’ve been here as an organized polity by/prior-to the 1400s (at least).

By the early-1500s, European coastal trading activities began to take shape along the Atlantic coast, and this attracted different indigenous groups to the coast of Eko (and elsewhere). This included some Ijebus, Benins, Ilajes, Ijaws, and Ikales among others.

The Binis particularly came around the mid-1500s, an instead of seeking permission to a piece of the island Eko, they attempted to settle in by force. The account from Lagos perspective says the Bini invaders were so beaten that they later regrouped (after some kind of mutual understanding) and showed up as peaceful settlers. See the quote below:

“Some little time after the Olofin's death there began the peaceful penetration into Lagos of settlers from Benin. The Binis probably realised that they would not be able to occupy Lagos by force, as they had already been so decisively beaten in their attacks on Iddo, and it is thought that they were also prevented from further aggression by superstitious fear, the dying wife of the Olofin having pronounced a terrible curse on any further invaders from Benin. Whatever may have been the reason, the Binis arrived with no great show of force, and permission was asked of the Lagos people for them to land. This permission was granted, probably with no very good grace, although at that time Lagos island was very sparsely inhabited and there must have been room for many more settlers.” ~ Sir Alan C. Burns, “History of Nigeria,” (London, 1929), p. 43.

In other words, the Binis were able to settle in Eko in the mid-1500s after their plea to settle was granted by the landowners — the Aworis. A piece of the Eko was thus conferred to them. The same was done for other immigrant groups who came to settle on Eko.

By the end of the 1500s/early-1600s, the island of Eko have had a size-able number of immigrant towns of different groups including Benin, Ilaje, Ijebu, Ijaw, Aja, Itsekiri, Ikale, Owo, Egba, and Egbado. Among all these resident trading immigrant groups who came to settle on this island, the Benin group appears to be the most populous.

In the light of this background, whatever was “ownED” by the Benins at the time WAS the part of Eko which was conferred to them by the Awori subgroup of the Yoruba ethnic group who are the aboriginals — just as other pieces of same island was conferred to others.

Also by the end of the 1500s/early-1600s, the Benin group whose predecessors settled-in into the island in the mid-1500s as peaceful settlers have now begun to live (within their portion of the island) as a combatant unit. The primary reason for this being that another Benin settlement along the Atlantic coast (most certainly in the Aja coastal axis) had rebelled against their Benin king, and the Benin residents in Eko were charged by their Benin king with the task of bringing this second Benin town back to status-quo. This task proved very difficult for them, until they were assisted by some Europeans traders who visited for trade, just in time, around 1603-4.

The Lagos account (which was documented in the late-1800s & early-1900s) hinted this paradigm shift in the settlement-formation of the Binis who settled on the island. They transitioned from the peaceful settlers who settled originally in the mid-1500s into a combatant unit by the early-1600s. See quote below for some hint:

“Some time after [the permission to land by the peaceful Benin settlers had been granted by the Awori landowners], the Binis began to attack the people on the mainland, and the leader of one of their marauding parties dying at Isheri, his remains were conveyed to Benin by one of the Isheri chiefs named Ashipa, who was anxious to secure the favour of the powerful King of Benin.” ~ Ibid, p. 43.

All the above are the actual historical contexts as per the Benin settlement in Eko from the mid-1500s to the early-1600s.
——————

The second side of the above coin of information is t the following effect:

The combatant-unit condition in which the Binis later began to live on Eko appears to have endured from c. 1600 till towards the late-1600s.

An independent kingship was to be founded on Eko island towards the late-1600s — prior to which the Eko island was subject to the Awori king, Olofin whose office was based on the adjacent Iddo island.

The Lagos account has it that a certain Awori chief (of Ife royal descent) from Isheri-Olofin aligned with the Binis (the most populous immigrant group on the Eko island) in order to fulfill his aspiration of establishing a kingship dynasty on Eko — a kingship dynasty which is to be independent of the Ìddó king.

Ashipa allied himself with the Benin government and the immigrant groups, and the alliance turned out to be a success for him. This political success earned th Benin kings Ashipa’s unwavering loyalty & gratitude.
This patron-protege alliance gave rise to the customs of forwarding remittances to the Benin government by the Eko kings of old; among other tokens of gratitude and recognition.

“Sometime after [the permission to land by the peaceful Benin settlers had been granted by the Awori landowners], the Binis began to attack the people on the mainland, and the leader of one of their marauding parties [Asheru] dying at Isheri, his remains were conveyed to Benin by one of the Isheri chiefs named Ashipa, who was anxious to secure the favour of the powerful King of Benin. Ashipa was related to the ruling house of Yoruba, and the King of Benin, desirous of consolidating his hold on Lagos [Eko], appointed him king of that island. In this appointment, for which there appears to have been no authority, the King of Benin showed great political acumen. The appointment of a Yoruba of the blood royal to be their king would not antagonise the original inhabitants of Lagos [Eko], while the vassal monarch would be bound to his suzerain by ties of gratitude. But to be on the safe side several “advisers” accompanied Ashipa from Benin on his return, and these, no doubt, saw that the interests of their country were not neglected. Tribute continued to be paid to Benin for many years, and it was not till about 1830 that it was refused; by this time Lagos [Eko] was too strong to be attacked, and the King of Benin had to be content with occasional presents from the vassal state, which now was bound to Benin only by sentiment.*

With the appointment of Ashipa as King of Lagos [Eko] the relative positions of Lagos [Eko] and Iddo began to change. The Oloto of Iddo never acknowledged the suzerainty of Benin, and was inclined to look down on the ruler of Lagos [Eko] as an upstart; but, as the power and wealth of the latter increased, Iddo fell farther and farther into the background.” ~ Ibid, p. 43-44.


Per the Lagos account, the political tie between Ashipa and Benin was further strengthened by marriage. Ashipa married from the family of the then Benin king. This marks the point of blood connection between the line of Eko kings and Benin kings.

As a result, Eko kings today may trace their line also to Benin, but through Ashipa’s son, Ado (who is often regarded in Lagos traditions as the first king proper of Eko).


Cheers.

Abohboy:
I'm a Nigerian from Ijebu Ode ( Maternal ) and Aboh Kingdom ( Paternal )

You're the one who doesn't seem Nigerian seeing as you don't know that Kalabaris exist in Nigeria and that they're the main inhabitants of Calabar and it's surrounding areas where did you think the name came from?

You are disgrace to your parents and common sense

Abohboy:
Igbos at Bonny and Ijaws at Brass or even both groups in both locations at the same time and the Calabaris or Kalabaris are the indigenes of Calabar and its environs

.

I thought you were an IPOB but now I know you aren't even a Nigerian all this while
Come, which country are you from Congo or Jamaica?

Abohboy:
Ports are at the Atlantic Ocean and not the River Niger you asked for a clan and I told you clan that the warriors were from was the Ohafia and they were under the Aro kingdom

So all this circle you are running around makes meaning to you?
Who are calabaris at calabar?
Which Igbos were at Brass selling slaves during slave trade and under which leader?

Abohboy:
Jstor literally has books from these presitgious universities and many other renowned scholars if you don't use a free account you either have to pay or login through a school account and most of the school accounts if you search through them are for top universities like Cambridge and Oxford so the fact that these schools provide a code to use to access Jstor should tell you how reliable and helpful it can be.

They didn't ever control a port they kidnapped and conquered people inland and sold them to the Calabaris at Calabar or the Ijaws and Igbos at Bonny and Brass respectively to sell them off to the Europeans

.


Why are u guys shameless?
First Ohafia then Aros, yet they never ever controlled any port then how did this warriors get accros the RIvers and territories controlled by either the Ijaws and Benins to fight for the Igalas?
I can very well see that it is Books from IPOBs library u specialize on but just calling JSTOR so as to feel belonged, anyway very terrible knowledge of history you have gathered all courtesy of IPOB

What is Calabaris at calabar?
What is Igbos at Brass, what year and under what leader/ chief did this nonsense happen?

I ask questions because it is clear you guys are only being indoctrinated with IPOB lies over histories and facts that are well documented

Tomek09:
IGBO.
SouthEast—98.8% indigenous Igbo tribe
SouthSouth—55% Indigenous Igbo speaking population.
SouthWest—Appreciable population of Igbos in Lagos, Oyo, Akure and Ogun State.
North(West, East and Central)—Igbos in the 3 regions of North are too many to write off.

YORUBA
SouthWest—99.5% Indigenous Yoruba tribe.
SouthEast—0.8% population of Yoruba extraction.
SouthSouth—1.06% of Yoruba native.
North(West, East and Central)—21% of Yorubas mainly in NC and about 3% in NW and NE respectively.

HAUSA-FULANI
NorthWest—91.6% indigenous Hausa tribe with about 6.3% Fulani making up the population in this region.
NorthEast—75% indigenous native of Hausa–Fulani extraction. Many minority tribes are found in this NorthEast but unfortunately they've lost their language or about to lose their language to dominant Hausa which is like a lingua franca(generally accepted) adopted in the whole North.
NorthCentral—Hausa-Fulani population here is not up to 30% with many minority tribes existing in the 6 States of NC with Nupe, Igala, TIV and Idoma dominating Niger, Kogi and Benue respectively.
SouthEast— 0.9% Hausa-Fulani exists in SE with about 1.4% found within the shores of SouthSouth.
SouthWest—Appreciable number of Hausa/Fulani are found indigenous to SouthWest having lost their language to Yoruba dominant language.

So, without mincing words and being biased...... anyone can easily give a rough estimate or near accuracy about Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba population.

What manner of cheap weed do you smoke?

Abohboy:
It's clear that you've never heard of the trans saharan trade route and even internal trade routes in Nigeria go and read about them then come back to me

There was a market along the River Niger at Aboh and another one upstream at Idah and both of these hosted Igala, Igbo, Benin and Ijaw traders the Ijaws primarily bought yams from these markets and sold salt to the other groups and the Igala mainly sold leather products from the north and other agricultural goods at Idah if you don't know about trade just say so and I will say it now

Go onto Jstor and register for a free account under an independent researcher then search Aboh kingdom, Aboh and Idah, Aboh and Igala, Igbo and Igala then search about the Abam Warriors afterwards and you'll see and read everything that i've read no reason to continue this argument unless you've read what i've read

.

See crab, so it is free account you use come lemme give u access to Library of prestigious universities and especially the ones that colonized Nigeria

Lemme ask you one simple question, which port did the Aros ever controlled?
