We aren't stupid. Call your brothers in the west and they gonna tell you all their lands have no c/o. It's just rentage in disguise. When we tell you we're 1000 times smarter than you, no be say we dey make mouth oo.


If you have half education, you should know what that means.

Which rentage are you talking about?

Iruekpen is part of ekpoma

Not really. Even Abia is not part of Ekpoma let alone Iruekpen.

E no go pass Chelsea he bet on.

The "Malaton" sex part did it for me...

My major concern for this whole story na the poor baby wey una dey rigmarole up and down like Fulani herdsmen come dey pour different akamu for the poor innocent kid head.

Such a disturbing story and mix to bring/raise a kid in.

Na wetin dey make some pikin get bald head.

DitariDisciple2:
I saw a name Fefegha as Epie leader.
In my Kolokuma dialect it means doesn't like to buy it.

We know Ijaw add other people's lexicons in their own language to increase their hold. It is called Borrowed words.

None of those names has it root words in Ijaw.
Ijaw are from Togo.

Messed up when she added that FFK should continue to fend for her kids. She should be more interested in getting her kids and making daylight of FFK.

What can one do in such a situation to escape this useless vaccine?

Have your own business.

Hmmmm.

Leave nairaland idle banter, Igbo get people! all sorts of people for that matter! The day Ijaws make the error of attacking Igbos, we will cure their madness wella.........let ijaw braggadocio remain online o! Igbos that have taken on almajiris in kano and bested them,fought all Nigerians with one arm tied behind our backs by Great Britain for a bloody 30 months civil war, taken on fulani herdsmen and their army accomplices since January and forced a stalemate!................Igbos are not itshekiris o,it will end in bitter tears for ijaw people.

That is why I am pitying them. They seem not to know how much Bleep up they have done. This Igbo generation has known nothing but segregation and ruin from the Nigerian state since birth, and All the while, our so called brothers have been busy chipping away at us chunks by chunks.

RobbStark:
I told you all I am in my home town. Lemme post the Jaja monuments as I am there already.

Internet picture.we have seen this picture before here on Nairaland.

yorubademon24:
I have seriously being pondering over ajayi's account about bonny.

Here are my assertions.

king peppel said bonny speaks the okoloma or bonny language also spoken in new calabar lets connect the dot.

1) The earlier records says the bonny natives claim there were of Ndoki/Ngwa descent.

a) Now according to baikie records the grand-bonny/bonny town is called okoloma by the natives..and to-date we have a town called "okoloma" in an Igbo speaking territory of Ndoki land located in oyigbo LGA of rivers state and not in Bayelsa or any ijo speaking territory.

b) The okoloma language or dialect spoken of by king peppel is Ndoki language which of course is Igbo.

2) The memoir of crow states that the king of new calabar was of "Igbo descent of which also are the mass natives." It is very obvious that at some point in time The language spoken in new in calabar was Okoloma ( Igbo) of which king peppel clearly stated to Ajayi crowther before their languages was heavily ijonized by over whelming ijaw migrants.

I saw a map posted by someone here which clearly indicated calabari as Igbo territory..

mazi Igboid I would like to have your opinion on this.

Ijaw people are probably from Togo.

JANK23H:
Still the same comprehension problem I've been talking about.

The essence of the map is to help you situate where the rivers are.The Rio Real is right in the middle of Bonny.If he said the Jos occupied the Rio Real,it means they were indigenous to Bonny.

That Chapter was dedicated to the life and habits of the Jos.

Stop feigning ignorance.

No, it only meant they were sea pyrates in those Rivers. If they were occupying Bonny, it would be stated as such, not stating they were occupying Rivers Rio real Madrid or shit.

Igboid:
Well, even if you want independence, you must first and foremost conquer your home turf politically, thereafter become a big player in the FG circles, only then can you begin to think of independence.

So yeah, the process of Igbo independence, requires a strong Igbo region within the framework of Nigerian political milleu first and foremost.
We are basically saying same thing.

South Sudan didn't conquer anything before they got their own country. They just became too stupid not to make the best of their new found opportunity, making it bad for other freedom seekers.

Igboid:
Now there is something we must recognize.

This fight is not to claim Bonny or Opobo as Igbo. Ndiigbo are too big a people to be recruiting people into our fold.

This battle is to establish the fact that Ndiigbo existed in Bonny as Aboriginals and not just as Slaves.

Key to Ijaw de-Igbonization of Bonny and Opobo is their deliberate demonization of the Igbo tag in Opobo and Bonny as that of Slave-descendants. The Cunning Ijaws understand psychology very well, humans naturally will not like to be attached to a dehumanizing history. No one would happily embrace a history that says that his ancestors were slaves.
So Ijaws at every given chance have promoted the falsehood that Igbo presence in Bonny and Opobo is a result of slavery.

The implication of this, is that the average Opobo or Bonny Igbo speaking person cannot embrace his Igbo identity without accepting the dehumanizing Slave descendants tag. For this reason, many of them remain neutral,and consciously stay away from Igbo tag, which gives the Ijaws enough cover to work slowly on their cultural genocide agenda.

To break this, we need to unequivocally with well researched proof show to the world, including OPOBO and Bonny people, that their Igbo speaking ancestors were not present in those Islands as just slaves, but that they were there as Aboriginals and as kings, long before the slaves from Igboland joined.
They have to know that they can embrace their Igbo language and culture without being decendants of slaves as not all of them were slaves.

Once we do this and repeatedly so, we would have effectively put to stop the Ijaws psychological blackmail on Bonny and Opobo people. Allowing them to voluntarily embrace their Igbo selves and come back to us on their own terms.

If only these findings can be made into a documentary and shared freely in Bonny/Opobo by way of DVDs. Ijaws will take the next boat going to Gbamatatum in the dead of the night.
Igbos really need to invest in Media. We are lagging behind a lot there.

Eastlink:
You are trying nwanne. I see you in the mould of Mazi Ogbonnaya Okoro who unraveled the presence of Igbos clans in Kogi by writing about the communities and visiting them in person with videos and photos to show. I’ll search online to find popular Youtubers who will need such historical contents.

I knew of the Kogi own, however it was Idah that blew my mind away. Never knew there was Igbos there, let alone that they are still there to date!

Putindbutt:
Same logic applied to Ibani. Ibani are called Ibani by themselves. And Ibani are a subgroup of ijaws.

When these idiots say "Subgroup" of the Ijaws, you begin to wonder who the "Main group" is.

Igboland will arise one final time and I pity all our neighbors who have stolen from us using the power of the Nigerian state.

DubaiLandLord1:
Igbo land never extended to the coastal areas in present day Rivers State and there is no evidence any igbo kingdom went to war and defeated any coastal area before and after the arrival of the white man

Well your map shows that Binin owns Lagos and all the coastal lands of Yoruba. It also shows there was no Yoruba in 16whatever.

1.2M? That's a bit cheap.

On another note, there was a time these Nissan models were the rave, all of a sudden, they all disappeared from our roads. What could be the problems?

Igboid:
Lol!

I can see citation of 1969 in this screenshot.
Why should we take such waste serious?
Do we look like joke to you?

There was this British woman that was busy rewriting the history of tribes in the Niger-Delta during and after the civil war. I read about it in a newspaper something in 2001-2002.

They way these Ijaws can weave fairytale from thin air at a moment's notice needs to be studied in school. This is a talent Igbos seems to lack.

Alabo7978:
funny enough you don't even know that the ijoh's see us as brothers.
in their own oral tradition, ijo who is to them as ujo was the first son to oduduwa who both migrated from the Nile basin around Egypt.
ijo had a personal juju named Adum, the yorubas knew that juju as adumu.

interestingly Adum deity was the first deity in Bonny kingdom and Alagbiriye also served as it's priests.
if the founders of Bonny didn't migrate from kolokuma (same with calabari) why do they share the same language?
why did the bonnys worship Adum?

anyways, I'm not making a point because it'll fall on deaf ears.
soon I will seize to respond to you clowns.
I will create time and write a well detailed thread, it's just time.
it is in ijaw tradition to enculturate a slave bought, Jaja was also enculturated to Jubo jubogha,
Asimini made some Igbo slaves free men after helping him in battle, now if you claim igbos owned Bonny, why were the igbos enculturated?
why was okwarazurumba renamed Jubo jubogha?

see major clowns, your lies are like leaking nylon, water keeps pouring out.
the igbos are known to move about for business and establish, reason there is atleast one igbo man in every country in the world.
the Bonny people allowed you settle, GAVE YOU THEIR NAMES, FREED YOU FROM SLAVERY, now you want to be a land grabber.
e no go better for una.

just because you igbos are a nuisance everywhere who like to make noise in everything you do, you brought your noise to spread lies just because the ijo man is not a noise maker.
no wahala.
because bonneians freed you.
I will make out time to expose the lies. seriously I didn't know this is what has been going on in nairaland.
it is a pity.

9Pluto:
I just watched an Opobo group dance on facebook now(Opobo connect) where they won an award in Abuja either yesterday or today.
You guys should watch it and come tell me if you understand what they were singing in your languages(ijaw or igbo)

The song goes like this:
kpakpa ngolo, kpa ngo(X2)
udu ya, ogele(X2)
etc

Jeez this childhood rhyme we used for play then.

Crazybeard:
No it is not.Bonny's problem is straight forward.

Ijos bought Igbo slaves(mostly) and slaves from ethnic groups around.The Elders at time chose to use the language of the slaves to trade with the Europeans and other Igbo merchants from the hinterland.Their thinking as silly as it was,was to prevent outsiders (slaves et al) from learning their language.That way they could keep certain secrets.

Also,a lot of Igbo slaves were made part of the canoe houses after passing through certain rites.These slaves still had their language and they taught their children.Before long,Igbo language became dominant.

Ijaw bought slaves with which money? What did you pay with?

jaxxy:
Russia cannot afford a war. There is more to loose than to gain.



Dialogue is an option. This can be achieved with good and fair negotiations.

Russia was equally being a threat to the US. This was probably why they made that strategic move.

They can both de escalate with proper negotiations. War benefits nobody.

I still say Russia or let me say Putin cannot afford a war. It has more to loose than to gain.

Actually, Europe can't afford to go to war with Russia. Russia supplies at least 50% of the gas Europe consumes. Just imagine them turning off the tap in this winter period.
Make no mistakes, If Russia invaded Ukraine, Biden will do nothing, because he can do nothing. Russia is not China.

I also don't know why Britain is always shooking their mouth as if they are also a world power.

It seems they were baming the guy.

It is not as if these Ijaws are a "Higher" human beings for them to be actually seeking to have slaves, let along Igbos as slaves to them. I mean, these are people that should never ever be seen in civilized spaces, yet here they are right in our faces, taunting us.


Ijaw don't seem to understand yet that the coming of Biafra might lead to their extinction.

If na Black man, he for don dey quote lucifer right now.

SpecialAdviser:
I guess the useless bank is Access Bank. Don't be surprised that the hacker is an access bank staff.

Access bank is the most useless bank in Nigeria and I only pity people transacting with that banks. Fraudulent deductions, fraudulent attacks and poor services.

Last year my access bank account was hacked. They even never had a clue to helping me out. Shame

Most of those syndicates either work or have inside men in those banks. I made a thread once about how elements from Zenith Bank wanted to liquidate me. The ruse was very smart.

This guy went as far as knowing about a failed transaction and hung money i had with zenith bank then. I wonder how he could know that if he wasn't working for Zenith bank, nor had an inside man there.

Igboid:
They know the truth.
They are just being dishonest, mischievous and demonic.
It doesn't make sense.
Why claim a people who don't speak your language?
That's madness.
This is also my take on any Igbo claim on Eleme.
It doesn't make sense.


How these Izons must be wishing that these colonial records could have easily been burnt .

Eleme's own is a bit dicey, even though they don't speak Igboid language today, most still bear Igbo names to date. I believe it is in names that we can truly know our origins. There are Igbos from southeast (especially Lagos brought up) who don't know how to speak Igbo today, but they still got Igbo names to mark their identity. in any case, Eleme people is free to choose for themselves.

We are here to make sure Ijaw fishermen don't ever choose for Igbo people in the Niger-Delta.

9Pluto:
Guys, while we really appreciate your great contributions. This is not really an Igbo archeological findings thread. Let us not derail this thread(It is going to be a reference sometime in the future). You can consider creating another one for that purpose. Let people that want to learn about this subject matter be throughly informed while we hope someone would be bold enough to take up the challenge to a live debate and tell us the ijaw version of Bonny history(FACTS not fiction).

Seun and his mods has all the power to lock it hide this thread. We are just letting everyone know we have rightfull claims over the territories in question. It will eventually degenerate into fisticuffs. Imagine small Ijaw of yesterday daring Igbos to go and take over Igboland from them? This kind of insults must be addressed and at the appropriate time pls.

Igboid:
Good one.
If only they Learnt the process of making the barrels of gun earlier enough, maybe we could have made enough guns to halt the colonials from defeating us.

Same thing during the civil war. We didn't know how toake bullets.
