[quote author=Dudu_Negro]Ijaw is not in my backyard and i am not in competition wih fhem, you are.

Go face more beating in the hands of the "new" tribal majority in East. When yiu are done let me know so i can add more to your palaver.[/quote]Ijaws pose more threat to the Ofemanus than they pose to Ndigbo. There have never been at any time they fought each other. But in Yorubaland, They go from kidnapping yorugba monarchs to bombing Atlas building. Even Asari Dokubo came to Lagos and threatened almighty OPC yet nothing happened. It is not proper from you coward from a cowardly race to be chatting bollocks here.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]So if you know there is no figure to back the population claim why are ibos distressed?

If an arbitrary number causes you this muh wahala i wondr what it will do to you if census numbers support their claim.

No seain kaduna or kano...dummie! Ijaw are sea people[/quote]Retardedd Yorubie, not only Igbos are in this thread and most people here are people not happy with falsehood. If 2morrow, Ijaws claim that they are found in the middle belt, middle beltans will also react as we have done here.
They have claimed part of yorugbaland in this thread but because of your cowardice, you failed to see it. It is a pity cowardice is in your veins, Anophelles Yorubie.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro][quote author=Dudu_Negro]You dodged my question......why is ijaw swollen population causing you diarrhea?

Atlas cove was federal property abd ijaw targeted federal not Lagos govt or any Yoruba interest. come again......[/quote]Yet they did not bomb fed govt assets in P.Harcourt, Kaduna, Abuja, Warri etc only the one in Yorubaland.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]You dodged my question......why is ijaw swollen population causing you diarrhea?

Atlas cove was federal property abd ijaw targeted federal not Lagos govt or any Yoruba interest. come again......[/quote]There is nothing to suggest that their populattion has swollen and others wither. Where is the proof. How many of them do you find in your street, classroom, your area, your village, inside the bus, inside the train. Even here in Nairaland, the ijaw thread is the most stagnant thread ever.
So if Ijaw acclaimed population is causing you diarrhea that is not my business, Adaka-enwe.

emiye: ^^^ are you serious about that? as in offside rule to be abolished?

Football would become so useless and foolish without offside? some players will just park a bus at the opposing team "box 18"and wait for "manna".

It doesn't work that way. Even local sets we play in our areas here in Nigeria, offside rules do not apply.
How about hockey, no offside rules and players do not go and pack up themselves waiting for manner to happen.
Biko, abolish offside rules.

PhysicsQED: Thanks for the explanation. I was basically right then. There are some groups and places with similar or identical names among different ethnic groups so these misunderstandings can sometimes happen.

Than you my man. But it will be an outright idiocy for one to claim Egbema people found in Imo and Rivers are Ijaws because of the Egbemas found in Edo state.
Not you.

THE OFF side rule should be abolished. Even referees don't understand it and always get it wrong. A lot of time, goals are disallowed because of offside rules. Sometimes goals are allowed which are offside.
Abolish the rule.

PhysicsQED: Perhaps there are two different Egbema (one Ijaw and one Igbo) groups with the same name?

I say this only because the Egbema in Delta and Edo states are clearly Ijaw, not Igbo. So if the Egbema in Rivers claim an Igbo origin, it's possible that the name sharing is a coincidence between an Igbo group called Egbema and an Ijaw group with the same name with a different meaning. This is just a suggestion as a possible explanation.

The Egbema in in Imo state is the same Egbema people in Rivers state. Formerly they were in Imo state until the bounndary adjustments of 1976 which later placed them in Rivers state. Because of the oil reserves found there, the Nasir committe decided to transfer them into Rivers state where there are other oil producing communities. Thank God shortly after this adjustment, the other side that was left in Imo state was also discovered of large oil deposits.
Egbema means Egbe and mma-Egbe na mma. Egbe gun and mma means cutlass. They are great hunters and farmers who use guns in hunting and cutlasses in farming. They are not in any way related to Ijaws in Rivers or Edo state. They are Oguta and Ohaji by blood. Currently, the Eze heading the newly formed assembly of Ezes in Imo state is an Eze from Egbema. The other side of Egbema in Rivers state is where Mike Mbamaonyeukwu Okiro- former inspector general of police hails from. He is the first Inspector gen of Police from the Igbo stock. Currently, he is an active member of Aka Ikenga-an Igbo elite socio-cultural organisation.
Remember that there is a place called Obama in Nigeria and it does not mean same with America's Barrack Obama.

killayut: Ikwere chairman of PH Lga. is he the councilor of ABULOMA, PORT HARCOURT TOWNSHIP, BORIKIRI ? Port Harcourt LGA is different from Port Harcourt city. Chimbiko is from Elekahia or NKPOGU and no Ijaw lays claim to those places and those places are not Port Harcourt but villages of there own . You are silly LOL. sO COS THE ph I hope you know Igbos even contested for LGA chairmanship in Lagos. If they had won you d use that to claim Igbos own Lagos. Nigeria is a country of turn by turn and any day an Ijaw man becomes Ph lga CHAIRMAN he d write what ever he wants about PH as well. ARGENTINIANS write nonsense about Falkland Island but the natives say they are English and they live there and not the ARGENTINES. You can claim Ph like you want but you do not opereate there so what is the sense ? THAT IS BOTTOM FOOLISHNESS.

Bingo, just accept defeat. The guy has defeated you hands down and with evidence. You hardly have any evidence to back up your silly claims. Only stories told you by your illiterate parents and grandpas.
Go and hide your face in shame, fool.

Johndoe100: How can an ibo man open his mouth to talk about crime? Please I am amazed that you people could find time to post here. You are either raping in your schools , kidnapping the rape victims after they leave school, shooting them in their offices and homes as you try and rob them or raping them AGAIN when they are grandmothers!!!!!!! I mean, no one is safe when their is an ibo guy around. Ask any Lagos landlord.

Monkey, even kilanut is trying hard, who knows you lil bat here. Do you post anything outside shooting, kidnapping and other criminal activities. That shows the biz you do as a career.
Get a proper job, asz-leaking monkey.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]Chimp,

Go inhale snuff! Theres nothing new under the sun. What is he claiming now that ibo has not before him claimed? Ibo said they are 500million nobody got mad. Ibo said they own Lagos nobody had a heart attack. Ijaw say they are 30million ibo dey shit for trouser. Ijaw say na hin own parts of Yorubaland you dey vex.

Anybody, whether ibo, ijaw or hausa, wey want to become Yoruba is welcome. We are graceful and pleasant people and admired and loved......thats why everybody wants to belong in our fatherland and be our kin. We only ask that you swear to Ogun and Sango when you take oath of brotherhood.

....by the way, Chimps are excluded from the invitation. [/quote]Baboonei Baboona, can you give me any link where Ndigbo have made those claims you wrote above. Failure to do this means you must forever hold your smelly breath. You think jumping to the Ijaw defence here will make them not to blow up another atlas clove, or deal with OPC basketmouths again. They will still deal with you when they want.
Phuck off impotent Baboon.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]Killayut and Ijaw citizen,

I admire you guys for your tenacity. This is how to wear ibos down and force them to yield. They dont have the staying power and stamina to sustain long argument. What starts as simple dwbate soon descend into curses and name calling because they get frustrated and defeated so soon and wanting to end it quick they throw courtesy out the windoq and use brute force to get their way. When people yield to them they record it as success and it becomes their truth that they hammer forever on.

This is how they convonced themselves that Awo died from ingesting rat poison because no Yoruba held up against them with tenacity, but thats in the past.....they know better now.

Dont yield your ground .....[/quote]Baboon, shut up your smelly mouth. You should be concerned with his claims of Kirikiri, Apapa, etc in Lagos as Ijaw towns and people. How about his claim of a third of Yoruba state of Ondo as Ijaw. Get a life, plural fool.

[quote author=Akanbi_edu]It's convenient to blame the colonialists but not the southerners that are divisionist in nature. Even from this website, we can see that those groups you mentioned are one. There are so many groups in the north, with their differences but they don't make issues out of it. You don't see them fighting one another based on ethnic divisions. The kanuri in Borno have reservations against the hausa, likewise the fulanis in N-east. Was it not recently ijaw elders were calling for ethnic-based geopolitical zones? When last did you see northern elites fighting for hausa, fulani, kanuri etc as a group? They always mention north unlike our "educated southern elites" who are always calling for Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Ogoni. These guys don't even have enough respect for minorities.

These are the pressure groups in the south; Ohaneze, Yoruba council of Elders, and recently izon has joined. When you make demands based on ethnicity, you automatically alienate others who are not part of your group.So which pressure group do we have in the north?-Arewa consultative forum- meaning northern CF. you can see how this covers everybody in the north including even the Yorubas there. Apart from Kwara and Kogi, almost everybody in the north speak hausa.
Benue, Kogi and Kwara-zero Hausa.
Taraba, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau and Borno-50% speak Hausa. Even in Kaduna Gombe and Yobe, not all speak Hausa.

These guys don't go about dividing themselves and yet you blame the colonialists for making them a majurity.

@post

I don't know really because these guys have mixed up so much that you can hardly tell. and official census are not done along ethnic lines.[/quote]

There are no Hausa in Gabon or any Central African country. The Hausas found outside Nigeria and Niger are immigrants to those countries.

killayut: What they wrote about PH is exactly what you Igbos have been writing about PH published in wiki. You can see how the writer of that shit also tried to claim every thing under greater Port Harcourt plan. Does it not tell you that the Port Harcourt as claimed BY THE WRITER was wrong . Was there any Ikwere man during when Okrika chiefs were signing the document covering the Borikiri land to the British ? If there was any what please tell us who he was. Was there even a recognized Ikwere clan there ? There was even no recognized Ikwere clan when the same British took Diobu to be a satellite town. This is cos there were no Ikwere natives there. All the people involved were Okrika chiefs and Bakana ( Kalabari ) Chiefs who stood as witness. You are such a goat.

Monkey, take your case the Port Harcourt council and fight them there. No need ranting like an ant here. It has been there for so long and no intelligent IJAW person has challenged it.
Don't be faster than your legs, Asz rapping monkey.

chrisxxx: How come Ibos are always looking for territories to annex? Na by force to be Ibo?
{The Ikwerres are not Ibos}1000x
We agree we may have same ancestry but it does not make us Ibo just as it does not make Ibo Ikwerre.
You may have the population and for this particular reason of fear of dominating them led to indifference and seeming betrayer during the war.

Dude are you really a fool in real life or is it just in nairaland that you enjoy displaying stupidity. What has the nonsense you wrote above got to do with the thread topic. Get a life, idiott.

agbotaen: shut your dirty igboic mouth up.igbo ethnic or any other ethnic group was founded as a result of british influence.and one thing an ika person does not want to be is igbo or igbon.okenyen igbo ni,i wu oseka le ozuor,emeni ushin ro,nte ebon enyin e gi kwaese.makeni onu wu igbon.get an ika person to translate this message for you and that goes for those of your kind.this is owa dialect of ika.
ika is an ancient culture and we are proud of it.and it is definitely not igbo culture .

Castrated retardo0, once again shut up your stinking mouth as you have nothing new to offer. How many times have you been disgraced here. Bastardd.

alj harem: Oh Ngodigha1 has liked your post I am expecting more likes from other Andre Moniker

Homo, why are you wasting your time in this thread. You are neither Igbo or Ijaw, so what is your biz. If you are that intelligent to post here you would have written a rebuttal to Killanut's claim of Lagos for the Ijaws and 5 hundred thousand in Ondo state.
Get back to your rat hole.

udomayi: Self styled poet Odimegwu Onwumere who was recently arrested and released has been arrested again by the police over the rape of a 10 year old girl in Porthacourt. Odimegwu who is Uzor Kalu’s love-vendor and his mother’s boy friend was arrested in mile 2 Diobu after his atrocities. Odimegwu a known informant to kidnappers is being detained and may be charged to court soon. The celebrated con man who specializes in blackmailing politicians it was learnt has sought the intervention of Uzor Kalu. According to our source, the former Abia governor is tired with Odimegwu’s life style which he described as very reckless. Kalu is however hooked as any attempt not to help Odimegwu will force his boy to expose him, a situation kalu may not like. Odimegwu’s parents have already disowned him. The parents of the raped girl have called on the IG not to spare Odimegwu, as it will serve as a deter ant to others.

Monkey stop this your character assasination here. Big fool.

ijaw citizen: Mr Ngodigha aka gold digger, you simply dont learn to correct your ignorance. To prove to the world that you're truely ignorant, Asari toru & Akuku toru you mentioned above as the only ijaw lga in rivers state are actually owned by the kalabaris. Kalabari is a sub-clan of Ijaw just like the ngwas, mbaise, etche, ikwerre, ukwani are to the igbos. it is these clans that make up igbo as such there is no particular clan by name igbo. About the Ijaws, they is no particular clan by name IJAW, it is actually these clans- kalabari, okrika, nembe, Ibani, andonni, mein, sagbama, ogbia etc that make up ijaw. Grow up son, you've embarrassed the igbos too much already.

Yet the places you claim as Ijaw are not Ijaws. In Ahoada West, the group you called Ijaws are not Ijaws, they are Engenni. Engenni has never at anytime being Ijaws. Even at that there are more Ekpeyes (Igbo) than Engennis in Ahoada.

killayut: So the people were formed before they got a name ? Before they started hunting they never had a name abi ? You can also see your stupidity. Try again cos your answer is wrong..LOL

Monkey, your own Egbema in Edo state is not same as the one in Imo state. I have detailed you about Egbema and you are still here chatting bollocks. How are you going to justify the fact that Igbo people of Egbema are not pure Igbos. Dude, you are a brain-dead fool.
Former IGP Mike Okiro is from Egbema and a member of Aka Ikenga, would you go and tell him that he is Ijaw?.
Get a life fool.

ijaw citizen: I wont be tired of correcting ur delusions until you're making some little in a rational direction. I. ONDO- A local government area (Ese-Odo) with residual indigenous communities in Ilaje lga and okitipupa ares. 2. Edo- (0.3) Indigenous communities in Ovia south-west, Ovia north-east and Ikpoba-Okha lgas 3. Delta State- (4.3 lgas) burutu, bomadi, patani, warri south-west local govt. areas with indegenous communities in warri south, warri north & ughelli south lgas 4. Bayelsa- All of bayelsa. 5. Rivers-(9.2) asari toru, akuku toru, okrika, degema, ogu-bolo, bonny, andonni, Opobo-Nkoroo, Abua-odua with indigenous communities in Ahoada west & Port harcourt lgas. 6. Akwa Ibom- (2) eastern obolo & Ibeno lgas. I hope this will educate you a little bit. You see, it is really easy to put ur mind down to learn new things. Shalom!

There is no Ijaw in Akwa Ibom. There were tiny bit of Ijaw in Cross River area (now Akwa Ibom) but the boundary adjustment of Mamman Nasri brought those few communities in to Rivers state.
In Rivers state, Apart from Asari Toru and Akuku Toru, all other areas you claimed as Ijaw are not Ijaw. They are Kalabari and they are recognised as Kalabari by the Nigerian constitution. You guys should not attempt to swallow them.
In Edo state, THE iJAW THERE ARE NOT MORE THAN 40,000. It is wrong for the Ijaws to claim Igbo and Kalabari people in Rivers state as Ijaws.

vislabraye: I've observed what the poster is saying. While I served I know a fellow corper who speaks Ibo very well and socializes with them. But when an Ibo corper got into trouble I told him" what will you do about ur brother?" He said "I'm not Ibo, I'm Ikwere." It was ridiculous hearing it.

Not only Ikwere people, Asaba and some Delta Ibos don't want to associate themselves with the main Ibos. Well, whatever.

Common get out of this thread you shameless maggot. Just tell me one Asaba man who disclaims Igbo. The same Asaba that is at the forefront of Igbo politics that you are mentioning.
Fool, one lesson for you. The Asagba of Asaba is the head of traditional rulers in the entire Igboland. Go and and figure, idiott.

ijaw citizen: It is a pity that you're this irritating, I'm writing this reply not because I'm interested in exchanging words with you but because I'm moved with pity for ur level of intelligence. As for what you need to know, just search Ijaw on wikipedia, I think they could give about 40% of what you need to know about Ijaws. And if you really wanna cool ur "delusional history-manufacturing" head down and learn about Ijaw as told by an Ijaw man and not by what you imagine inside ur head pls refer to 'A History Of Niger Delta' by Prof. Ebiegberi Alagoa. Shalom!

Dude, seeing is believing. Nigerians have seen and believed that Ijaws have 2 local councils in Delta state, 2 in Rivers state Asari toru and akuku toru, 2 million in Bayelsa, 100 hundred thousand in Ondo state and 40,000 in Edo state as well as 30, 000 fishermen in Lagos state.
So how does this come up to the 4th largest group in Nigeria. Any one who thinks that ijaws are more than 5 million in Nigeria is not serious.

ijaw citizen: this guy is loosing his mind, pls someone should advice him on drugs to take for his paranoia.

Bingo, what is your problem in this thread, tell forumites how the ijaw became the 4th largest group in Nigeria or phuck off. Killayut has tried but failed woefully and was disgraced.
Now is your turn.

WhiteOne: Ijebu are not Yoruba ? Please can somebody explain this to a girl for the west.
So I told my sons the wrong thing then? Thier dad is from Ogun State.

Ogun state is a yoruba state, however, the Ijebu ethnic stock aS A RESULT OF POLITICS were regarded as Yorubas. Now led by their amiable monarch has risen to tell the world the whole truth---THEY ARE NOT YORUBAS.

Johndoe100: @Ngodigha1

Don't mind them, there are no Ijaws in the Niger Delta. Everybody is Igbo. Igbo kwenu!!

Dont be silly idiott, no one is saying that there are no ijaws in the niger delta. They are not as many as Killayut claims. Even went further to claim Egbemma not even knowing that Egbema means Egbe and mma. Gun and cutlass to define their war-like nature in the past.

killayut: And what about Egbema in Edo and Bayelsa states ? Are they Igbos too ? Know the history of a people before you argue. Do you even know what Egbema MEAN ?There is OKOLOMA in Ndoki land and OKOLOMA is not an Igbo name but Ibani - Ijaw. Even Okrika people has a settlement near Oyigbo and we all know it and there is no dispute about it too. So learn about the true origin of the Egbema people before you argue.

Egbema means egbe (gun)and mma (knife) Egbema people int he past are great hunters and farmers who use guns and knives, that is how they derive their name. They are Igbo to the core.
There are no Ijaws in Imo state, Abia state,Akwa Ibom and Cross River states.
Stop formenting trouble,mr Ijaw .

[quote author=c.r.r.o]@ ACM10 ,whats the name of the village your from ?[/quote]Why are you disgracing your self in this public forum?.

wehla: Even Akokos in Edo claim yoruba heritage and it shows in their names and other traditions. During border adjustment in early days of Obasanjo admin, they prefer to be in Ondo state.

Poor boy, stop this your silly attempt at land grabbing. At what time did they clamour to join Ondo state?. And for your information as you have none, they do not claim yoruba heritage.
I know your idiotic aim of this thread.
