false consciousness

KGD10:
Ijaws are tenants in Ondo state. The name Ese odo is Yoruba Land given to them. They either assimilate or be bounced out. the only treaty signed by the British was with the Ilaje king.

Yorubas are tenants in kwara(slaves to fulani), kogi and Benin( where they were sold by slaves by the landlords), the name Yoruba was given by the hausa masters

EdiAbali:
ANYWAY,
THESE IS NO PROVE THAT THERE IS IJAW IN ONDO STATE, SOWERE CONFIRMED, SOWORE IS A YORUBA GUY THAT'S WHY HE HATED GEJ.
THE IJAW IN ONDO STATE ARE MERE IMMIGRANT FISHERMEN

If dats wat makes u sleep at nyt, I stopped arguing pointlessly on nairaland since 2018

EdiAbali:
So how is someone from Southern most part of Ondo state an Ijaw but someone from Egbema Rivers state or Anioma Delta state is not Igbo?

The same way someone from Kwara and Benin Republic can be Yoruba and someone from Akoko Edo can't

uckennety:
Ebani can't be ibani

Just as Igbo can't be ibo

Yea, its probably a typo

EdiAbali:
Sowore is a Yoruba guy, having Ijaw name does not mean they are Ijaw.

Just like there are people who bear Igbo name and speak Igbo and Igboid language in Rivers state, does that mean there are Igbos in Rivers state? same with Yoruba, some people speak Yoruba related language in Delta state, does it mean that we have Yoruba in Delta

Sowore is an Apoi Ijaw man from Kiribo, there's also Arogbo and Tubutoru Ijaw clans in Ondo

uckennety:
I know that's Bonny language it's igbo too

Tell ooooo to list them as separate tribe hence ukwani and egbema are separate tribe

Read the list again, it contains Ibani even though its spelt wrong as Ebani

uckennety:
Op your high on oshogbo weed

Is ukwani(kwale) and egbema not igbo?

If that's the case

You should list ikwerre, etche,opobo,agbor, igboakiri (igbanke) as separate tribe then

Ibani is there in Rivers

ruggedtimi:
this list is so wrong, epie is in bayelsa

maybe dey meant ekpeye

Efewestern:
The Urhobos are very accommodating, and that's a major blow on us, check out our lands that was forcefully taken in Warri, the Ijaws are now trying to pull another stunt in Aladja.

you need to grow beyond this tribal wars, Delta people seem to always have these backward tribe vs tribe mentality every time

SoaringLife01:
Big lie.Ofoni is Urhobo.It is because of this marginalization that has made this present Ofoni people to see themselves as Ijaws under Tarakiri clan.
How can a community be under a clan and don't speak the clan language nor bear the clan name?Does that add up?
Urhobo Nation must not sleep over this issue,we must let the Ofoni people know they are our kith and kin.

what does ofoni mean in urhobo

hinwazaka:
What kind of name is Biokpomabo. tata like U wants to drive lamborghini

A Rivers name

Ofoni people are under Tarakiri clan, do you honestly think he would win a senatorial election against other Ijaw people if he wasn't Ijaw, there is a high mixture with Urhobo due to marriage so the people tend to identify with both sides, the name Ofoni interestingly is Ijaw meaning bird

Frankiss44:
What's the guarantee that Ameachi stooge has anything positive to offer? As far as projects are concerned, Wike is one of the best that has delivered and truly deserves a second term

Wike performance based on the funds available is disappointing, Rivers state is honestly not any better than when he took over 4 years ago

Lagoon of blood

Frankiss44:
Because this decision by the Supreme Court will make this election one of the most peaceful in rivers state since inception.. With one heavy weight out of the way, Ameachi might not even be in PH during the election

How about after the election?

The way this boy resemble in papa, even the bald head

I get why the politicians are happy, but how does this benefit the people of Rivers state

StaffofOrayan:
Why can't she be like these women kikikiki

this one na serious owu

Why are chinese still operating the train?

chloride6:
Hmmm

Oil License don go be that

Another person go chop now

Doesn't an oml belong to a company and not an individual

Atigba:
I don’t exchange words with uninformed folks

I have lived with Ogbia people some time, read a lot of their books and mingled with their historians

The Ogbia people are from Benin kingdom, my girl friend name their is Odion

Lol, ogbia person answer Odion what of ighalo, now I know you're nothing but a troll

Atigba:
How is it off point

Are you this stupi’d that you can understand my message

The Ogbia people migrated from Benin kingdom which is a historical fact, technically Goodluck is a Benin man

How does bearing a tribe name makes you the origin of that tribe

My friend name is valentine, does that make him a Roman

Bros you are yarning rubbish, ogbia has northing to do with bini, in language, culture, tradition, nothing, your cock and bull history is crap

Atigba:
Shut up

The Ogbia people migrated from Benin Kingdom

It is well documented in their history, technically Goodluck Jonathan is an Edo man

Yes Gej can be an Edo man, we Ijaw can share him atleast make Edo ppl follow get mentor apart from anini

basilo101:
Your last paragraph was a TKO

Lol

Ogbia is not and will never be edo or edoid , Ogbia as a language isnt edo or edoid, l to your history the founders of Ogbia are Okoroma and Oloi, both being Ijaw names, so the only way they could have come from Bini is if Benin was filled with people speaking and bearing Ijaw names, there have been men from the ogbia clan like Melford Okilo, king Amakiri, Goodluck Jonathan etc,

Quote from Gej
He said: “It’s not just about me but about all the traditional rulers, elders and opinion leaders that are of the Ijaw ethnic nationality. We have been in touch to see that peace reigns in the country. Those of you that have followed my talks when I was here, my emphasis is that we need a United Nigeria and I always emphasize that Nigeria is great not just about the oil. “So many countries produce more oil than Nigeria nobody notices them. We are great because of ou crr size, the human resources we have, the diversity we have, if we fragmentize the country into smalycomponents, we will be forgotten by the World. “That has been my focal position and without peace there canot be development anywhere in the world. We are all working collectively to see that issues are resolved.”

I understand that from a tribe that has produced people like anini, the Edo ppl are in search of mentors, don't worry Gej and Izon otu will continue to mentor and carry everybody along

Relocate to a major city, there will be more opportunities

Most of the girls wowo sha

Lipscomb:
2023 will be interesting I pray God keep us alive .

That's the most important thing

fx45:
I served in Eastern Obolo and some of my students then had Igbo names. Same pronunciation, same meaning... They said the names came as a direct influence of the Opobo Kingdom which isn't very far from them though

Opobians dont answer igbo names, Eastern Obolo is in Akwaibom, and father from Opobo than Andoni, so I ask again, during your alleged time in Eastern Obolo did you learn how to speak Obolo?
