Ugo4hotish:
Have you been to Izombe (Izon ibe), Oguta LGA Imo State before?

Lol, but even Oguta sounds Ijoid, but it's most likely a coincidence or an inconsiderate mixture

Afootee:
I directed it to everyone. Just imagine someone in porthacourt being mailed this evening to come for CBI tomorrow morning.

I am in Ibadan but planning to leave for Ilorin tomorrow, I want to know my fate before leaving. Though I was told they don't send regret mails, only successful candidates would be contacted, but let us know if we have any successful candidate being mailed yet.

Each stage will be carried out at different times and only successful candidates will proceed
to the next stage of recruitment.

 Please note, after every stage, a notification will be sent to both successful and unsuccessful
candidates.

This is from the original mail so if you don't get an invite today I doubt if they will send, cos the 2nd stage is 30(tues) & 2nd(thurs)

Afootee:
Yes please, if you are in Lagos and close to that area, you can help us make inquiries.

Sorry bro, I'm in ph.

Thid is terrorism, Lagosians can't do without ponmo, this is like poisoning esam or sengi in Port Harcourt

Afootee:
It will not be too good if CBI will hold on Thursday and they mail us on Monday. If we cannot get any mail by today, I guess it would be on Monday

Someone can go to their office to make inquiries on Monday, I don't think there's any harm in that.

Apc can go ahead if they want to attack the Shiites, they dont need this long propaganda

Only Delta state the tribal clashes pass world war 1 den u wan add Edo state join, barnish d thought, state creation was for development to spread quicker not for lobbying for senate President

kutchs:
Kelechi Madu is a Nigerian through and through. He only left Nigeria in 2005, had his primary and secondary school education in his little village of Okrika-Nweke in Ahiazu-Mbaise LGA of Imo State.
Studied at University of Lagos where he obtained a degree in Law.

Okrika people in Imo, interesting

Tribalistic Nigerians always happy to win political positions abroad, but are against people of other tribes contesting for positions outside the place of origin

Non indegenes have been ruling Lagos since

Choi I stopped reading when I saw this

Njemanze maintained that no white man was on earth when the Igbo’s existed adding that Igbos ruled England up till 1600

This is just silly, so no other tribe existed in Nigeria apart from benin, yoruba and hausa because of your map, who drew it if I may ask

peaceful religion

dukie25:
Isoko and urhobo are the same, useless group.

most of the groups in Delta carry tribal politics matter for their head pass development,backward people

BrainSanitizer:
By their names....
Blessing people (Pepple). The people will always be blessed.
If only we had realized that rejecting Goodluck means accepting bad luck, we wouldn't have been in this mess.

Pepple is the anglicized version of Perekule and not people

JeromeBlack:
Educate us then. Tell us the real truths

don't take my word for it, read books like

King Jaja of the Niger Delta : his life and times, 1821-1891 by Sylvanus John Sodienye Cookey

The Lower Niger And Its Tribes (1906) [Arthur Glyn Leonard]

and develop your own opinion on real truth

coolscott:
Jaja of Opoba was an Igbo man
sold into slavery to the people of Bonny.
Spared from being sold to the land of no return (to the white man)
and kept to work in the house of one of his Bonny buyers.

Set free after sometime, according to Bonny custom
in a ceremony which including the public shaving of the head
by the oldest married woman in the family.

Free slaves were allowed every right to grow as anybody else in Bonny custom

He was intelligent and grew very strong in business and influence.

He wanted to be the new Jumbo House chief.

He was reminded he came into the kingdom as a slave.

He refused to back down.

A ware ensued (he chose to fight, he was rich).

He lost the war and could not come back to the kingdom
(wars in the region were fought in war boats).

Having done business in the area (as influential Bonny men did)
he had a relationship with the Andoni rulers.

He and those that were on his side in the just lost war, met the Andoni ruler,
who carved out the large territory for him and his people, on which he, Jaja,
would start and establish his dynasty and kingdom.

And thus was the birth of Opobo land and the Opobo people, with their pioneering king,
King Jaja, of Opobo.

Although Opobos know their history and that it can be traced back to Igbo land,
they are more proud of the new identity they created for themselves, most of which
is borrowed from the Ijaw people of Bonny (called Ibanis) who had them (i.e their forefathers)
as slaves, set them free, and in whose land they were allowed to live and thrive as Ibanis (Bonny people).

When a slave was freed, he was given a new name and denounced wherever he came from,
pledging allegiance to the Bonny kingdom and the family into which he was bought as a slave.

People from what is today known as Akwa Ibom state where also sold to the slave merchants
in Bonny as slaves.


In Opobo today, they maintain the system of families dominant in Bonny social and society structure.

They also maintain a mornarchy system (what they experienced in Bonny, as opposed to haphazard chieftaincy titles predominant in Igbo land).

They speak a twist of Igbo and Ibani (the version of Ijaw native to and spoken by the Bonny people)
but there has been a recent organized effort by them re-establish Ibani as their main dialect.

The story of the emergence of Opobo is one very interesting piece of Niger Deltan history,
the books that cover which, children should read at an early age.

I read a book (and encylopaedia writings) about this at an early age,
and am happy for the knowledge it gave me and the role it plays in helping
a young boy have a better sense of direct African history.

By the way, King Jaja of Opobo died in exile as he was sent on exile
by the British on account of his stubbornness and unwillingness to give in to
their desire to take over his Kingdom
(just as they exiled a Bonny king and many other rulers across West Africa).

If I remember right, King Jaja died on his way back from exile.

If I remember correctly (and I think I do) he didn't made it back home.

these are half truths

johnmartus:
I will continue to expose the atrocities of bad leaders in Nigeria.

You already have, you're a good example of how our bad leaders have destroyed our education system.
