NwaEzefuNaMba: Nairaland have been taken over by trolls and jokers.
I don't even know the correlation between my comment and Biafra, whichever; i know Bayelsa more than you do, likewise Delta and Rivers.
I have worked in all local government in Bayelsa and 70% of Delta(100% of Ijaw speaking local governments)
Akassa is not Ijaw, i worked in Sangana platform for 2yrs before moving to Nembe where i worked for a year, likewise Twon Brass and other part of Brass local government including the exploration of Buama point.
I don't even have to engage you on this, but you know there's broad difference between Epie, Ijaw and Akassa; and it's not debatable.
You have still not answered the question, what does Akassa speak and another thing are you fluent in any of these languages you just mentioned
NwaEzefuNaMba: Someone here is claiming that Ijaw is majority in Rivers and Delta, how funny you can be. How do you convince any sane person that Ijaw is majority in this Delta talk more of Rivers? An Andoni man will chop pff your head the day you address him as an Ijaw man talk more of Ogoni? I even saw where Bonny is included as an Ijaw populated local government.
There are three ethnic groups in Bayelsa, namely; Ijaw Epie Akassa Even an Ogbia man will not accept the Ijaw tag, I don't know where you guys get the idea of Bayelsa being a homogeneous Ijaw state.
what language does Akassa speak, Igbo man, una go just dey carry una wahala go round everywhere, you see why Biafra is never possible, Ogoni has never been Ijaw, Andoni and Ibani is not even worth discussing see Andoni man that will chop your head for being called Ijaw, osu
RobbStark: What's the meaning of Ama in ibo land. They are okrikans and the Ibo they speak is as a result of Ibo women they married. There is nothing like Ibo in them. Call them Ibo and you might be stoned
I grew in Fimie, those people are Okrika people, how can anybody call them Igbo
Fejoku: Hopefully you've started to understand them. They are masters of chaos pitting brothers against themselves so they can walk in unnoticed and steal the land. All southerners must stick and fight together the same time. I can assure you that the fight won't even last long and those terrorists will be defeated. The time to stand and fight together is now.
Almost everyone understands them even the ones playing ostrich, 2023 will be the biggest eye opener
SlayerForever: Explain what Nwaotam and Ukemkpa, Ofornogu, Ejesilem and Ugelemma society are doing there if it is all Ibani. Explain the Igbo spoken in both places. Or you will say it is not Igbo
Ugelemkpa not ugelemma, theres also Amatemeso(town deity) since you're one to read meanings to names, Uke is not Igbo culture and is not played anywhere in 'Igbo land' but was borrowed from Ndoki(Aminadokiari), our trade partner and brother, to Kweniama then Opuboama as a who before reaching Okoloama and is now uniquely Ibani with the omuaru displays.
SlayerForever: I know. I'm saying, if what is practiced in Opobo is wholly Ibani then perhaps Ibani is Igbo culture. Even in Bonny there is Ibani and also staunch Igbo practices there.
Oya name the Igbo culture practiced in any of the Ibani Kingdoms
Igboid: Ibani is foreign in Opobo. It has never been native to Opobo. Maybe to places like Finima. But never Opobo town itself.
Opobo(Anglicized word for Opubo ama) is not a town but a kingdom, and saying Ibani is foriegn is just stupid and that's puting it lightly, Ibani is not just a language, its the people and Identity of Bonny and Opobo kingdoms, how many times do we have to tell you we don't want to Igbo na by force?
SlayerForever: Smh. You have just said Igbo language and culture is non absent in Opobo. Once you tell barefaced lies I take it one is tired of the discussion or has become mischievous.
If I'm to use your words, it would seem the second fiddle "Ibani" is the foreign element. Let me be honest I laughed when I read your first question.
You should laugh at your insinuation Ibani is foreign to Ibani people.
SlayerForever: Nobody denies Igala is present there. Or that some of those around Abia have Efik influence. But equating such influences to ownership is mischief. Such applies to Opobo.
Opobo and by extension its origin Bonny is and would always be Ijaw, any revisionist or irredentist should get it through their head and save themselves heartbreak or claims of betrayal part 2
Onepeople: sense is a costly commodity for some people on this forum, are igbo people the one that are dragging oil well with river state or imo state government?
read the comment he's quoting so that you can pretend to have sense
ekesol: Don't worry Akiri and Mgbede oil wells are coming back home. We have already taken 48 . The remains once are coming back home. The 17 will soon join the we move for Oga ,Andoni and Omoku till all igbos are restored back to their root. Rivers state is Igbo land .We move
you contradict yourself, if Rivers state is Igbo land why trying to move into imo state? and also google the difference between Andoni and Ndoni before starting irredentist moves.
Malawian: These Ijaws be like Fulani one kind. Anywhere Fulani see grass, e go think say na Allah give am to them, anywhere Ijaw see water, e go think say na Egbesu give am to them. Dey there they invent yeye "Ibani" tribe wey dey speak Igbo.
it's obvious your papa tribe is yeye, namanafini, no wonder you deny am dey claim Ibani now, what a shameful thing to be from a tribe like you
