Hon. Dr Michael Enyong, the member representing Uyo Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, has been accused of belonging the Black Axxe confraternity (Egede), after he was pictured greeting a colleague in the cult's manner.

The lawmaker ran into another politician at the airport in Akwa Ibom which ignited wild jubilation as they reportedly kept echoing "Uyo for Uyo".

Hon. Dr Michael Enyong, was spotted proudly doing the Egede greeting in public despite the presence of others who were watching.

Cultist, cultist, cultist a million times

comfokon:
They didn't do it alone, and they were losing at initial attempts. It is the same way you people live your life till today. you would come as traders, business men or help lookers with no suspect of subliminal undertone of usurpation of power. They would come to trade in someones land and join you to go to church, engaging in all social activities your community does, in no distant time, after bringing in a large portion of their brothers, they start clamouring to head the market group/association. Installing their so called Eze in peoples community, we saw the recent problems it brought out in yoruba land. The history clearly states that a problem between step brothers led to this and the Ibibios were not chased out but the losing sides, that's why their culture still remains there till today and eternity.

.


You know your roots inside out

IkpuMmadu:
and they chased away the Ibibio in Aro... that is the truth.... everyone is a settler , nobody dropped from the sky no tribe came from the sky ... the stronger tribe chase the weaker tribes away

that has always been the way it is .... just like the way igbo in Delta North is there ... that's the way igbo in Benue are there also

deal with this or cry me qua ibo river

.

Lemme give u this account and then few of the Ibibios clan that now residents in four communities in present day AkwaIbom

Juliusmalema:
Not again.

.

Not again what? You de your own we de our own, is that too much!

Juliusmalema:
Ipobs are now forgotten issue.

I am barely aware if they are still existing

.


Then better for both region

Juliusmalema:
Which is exactly what they are doing but you are just been unnecessary antagonistic.

Maka why?

.

Nobody would have been Antagonistic if those IPOBs rats are guided and not running their lose mouths

Juliusmalema:
Well, the fact still ends with your neighbors anyway.

Yes, but the fact is they aren't the ones making all the Hullabaloos, from Old Bende down to Afikpo there is history and it can't be changed but facts has to be stated in true context

Juliusmalema:
We are glad to be Igala but tell that your Abia neighbor propagating the Igala mantra to leave the us in the Igala state alone. He should face his neighbors in Akwaibom, Rivers state and Imo but let the Igala be.

We are happy been Igalas...full stop.

.

I don't have problem with my neighbor only stating facts for d rest of you....we

Juliusmalema:
Akuko.

.

See dis Igala man

IkpuMmadu:
define stupidity... it's. is believing the british version of Igbo history than the igbo man .. that is stupidity.. the truth is that Ibibio was defeated

.

Defeated as portrayed by lies and propagandas synonymous with you lot, the betrayal perpetrated by the Igbos in connivance with the step brother of the the ruling Ibibios clan chief will forever be legendary
You committed TREACHERY and not only that requested help from the Akpas ( Ekoi) to fight a chief that gave you lots sheltering and you call it defeat
In the world of bravery and honor it is called cowardice, deceit and treachery.
You can lie to yourself but not to that Ibibio clan and Ibibios in general.

MetaPhysical:
Maybe the OP doesnt know history. This is first time ive heard such nonsense about Ibibio owning Igboland.

But it shouldn't surprise annybody though. Is this not the same game you Ibos play when you lay claim to other peoples ancestral land and claim it to be yours?

.


This is your first because you know nothing..... and which stock are you of that you should know?

AmuDimpka:
There culture should be strong, the defeated peoole culture don't get wiped out like that... But the language of the conqueror would be at the top.... The victor imposes his language and culture on looser , the way the british imposes english on us


Arochukwu is called(Okigbo great igbo ) read this

Arochukwu is a small town located at the Southern end of Abia State in Nigeria.
The Aros, as other Igbos, migrated from the Middle East to their present location in then Eastern Nigeria. You cannot mention Christopher Columbus who discovered America, without a short history of the Indians who owned the land. Also, in retrospect, the Aros came and won the land from the inhabitants, the Ibibios, after series of wars. These wars had a historic impact on the town. For instance, the leader of the Ibibio warriors who fought the war was captured and slain at Oro Village and this is why Oro became the chieftancy village. Amikpe Obinkita became the center where these defeated warriors were judged. This also is why all Aro villages assemble at Obinkita during the Ikeji festival. Any village that is not represented was fined by the entire Aro.
Arochukwu, sometimes referred to as Arochuku, or Aro-Okigbo, (pronounced Aruchukwu) is the third largest city in Abia State (after Aba and Umuahia) in southeastern Nigeria and homeland of the Igbosubgroup, Aro people. It is composed of 19 villages with an overall leader called Eze Aro. Arochukwu is a principal historic town in Igboland. It was also one of the cities in the Southern protectorate conquered by the British colonial government. Several historic tourist sites exist in the city. The mystic Ibini Ukpabi shrine, the slave routes and other relics of the slave trade era are frequently visited by tourists. It is also in the food belt of Abia state where most of the staple foods are produced.http://igbohistory..com/2015/10/history-of-arochukwu.html?m=1

If you can't quote Britannica, Oxford or Cambridge library materials don't put up any Igbo blogs spot history here....

AmuDimpka:
. OP is stupid...trust me , the ibibio came from Cameroons and Ghana ...they settled somewherere between Efik and Aro...the Aro with their Igbo fighters ..the machineries came , fought them, enslaved them and chased them out to their present location...that was then but today

Ibibio and Ibo are best of friends and they are more of cousins and in-laws today

.

Ibibios came from where?
Who are Efiks and Aros?
If you don't know a thing don't speak of what you don't know, never you repeat that Ibibios came from Ghana..... We are oldest in that territory every

GBTYO:
The word Biafra is not of Igbo origins as widely speculated by IPOB

The word Biafra is a coinage from old Portogesse maps depicting the Bight of Guinea .

Originally it was shorthand for Bight of Marfa.

Marfa being a Portogesse coastal Outpost in modern day Cameroun.

On Portogesse maps it was depicted as Bi Marfa - which is shorthand.


The Portogesse are credited to have named several of their trading coastal outpost in West and central Africa. From Nigeria's economic hub, Lagos to Malabu to Ferdinando Po, the Portogesse named their settlements in honour of Portogese towns. Marfa being a sailing port in Portugal.

Over the years, Bight of Marfa morphed to Biafra just as Calabry turned to Calabar.

This is the true origins of the word Biafra and had nothing to do with Igbos.

Fun fact:

The Portogese Port City of Marfa was dominated by Marrano Jewish slave merchants.

Isn't it ironic that our Igbo Jews will name their country after a major Jewish slave port?

.

We all know that except for IPOB rats

Yet let one ragtag aboki herdsmen enter their mist, na so dem run like chicken

WilyWily:
Uche Mefor was part of the IPOB from inception , just because he was asked to step aside,
IPOB is going to reform but Uche will not be deputy again.
IPOB is intact, there no crisis.

.

Honestly, both you and IPOB are living up to your name, willy willy!

DontBullshitMe:
UBA has offered to see you through school and one mushroom UniUyo or whatever is your dream institution.

That's extremely laughable.

Can someone knock sense into her and direct her to the path of Unilag or UI?

.

She knows anywhere she can hold her own, unlike you PR-ick that whether Unilag/UI you are dumb and outside d country you will be a million times DUMBER!

Ebenezer2021:
qua Iboe church 2 abak road member spotted

.

419 members located

techmo:
Most IPOB leaders where former MASSOB members including Nnamdi Kanu, but I agree IPOB are not as strategic and smart as MASSOB


.

.


They were jealous and power hungry, why did they leave MASSOB if not for greed?
By now APGA as a party should be controlling SE.
Instead myopic and greedy KANU wants cheap popularity

techmo:
What will Ibos do to gain independence from Nigeria

Start a war like Ojukwu, or make noise like Uwazurike of MASSOB and Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB

.

Don't compare MASSOB to IPOB, IPOB are dumbs
Ralph is Intelligent, KANU is a weed smoking 419 coward

Y0rubakwe:
It must be very painful for you. Ibibios where not profitable, so they where not sold as much as their Igbo counterparts. There where large amounts of ibibios sold. Only the rulers of the aro confederacy could sell slaves, they where all Igbo. Look at the map of the territory they conquered. And, thanks for admitting that most African Americans are igbos. I hope you know that ohafia and abam warriors sold whole communities of ibibios into slavery within days.
Respect your aro slave masters, or your skull will be the next on their tray.

.


How can people exchnging you lots like Guinea pigs for lace materials, Dry gin, guns, cutlasses be profitable?
like I said your Lamentation is just starting plz continue with more names of the people sold...
No wonder they speak IBO in Jamaica

Officialgarri:
Government of the North invading the core south east.

We will not take this

Wife: what are you going to do about this?

Kanu: Don't worry, I'll order Emeka and Nwafor to bring down the refinery with Sticks and stones

.

Wife- I trust you sweety sweety, ya mouth is too sweet

Federal Government, PMB and the military have apologized.....

Y0rubakwe:
Comedian. All you said was trash. Aros that wiped out waves and waves of ibibios during the aro-ibibio war then sold them as slaves. The aros sold entire ibibios into slavery. The aros conquered akwacross, argue with the map.

.

And what is this frustrated soul still wailing about, they sold Ibibios to slavery and that is why when you take the DNA, gene samples of most African Americans, Haitians, Jamaicans and the slaves in the Carribean they are IBOs.
Aros are even a mixture of Ibos, Ibibios and Ekoi(Akpas) and Nris are Igalas mixed with Igbos.
For you I don't know your stock but am 100% sure you ancestors consists majority of the 95% slaves of IBO extraction shipped out of the old calabar ports
Your lamentations is just beginning

Anecdote:
People like you argue unnecessarily , I won't bother trading words with you but fact are facts

.

So u just registered less than an hour ago to come run ya mouth with me...
I will be checking put scumbags profiles henceforth

Anecdote:
People like you argue unnecessarily , I won't bother trading words with you but fact are facts

.

Facts written in your mothers kitchen, I am Ibibio by tribe tell me your tribe if you know you are a true son of your father

Anecdote:
Ibibios were captured and sold by Mostly Efiks and some by Oron people . Ikot Abasi (Opobo) captured and sold ibibio slaves from Mkpat Enin , Onna and Eket. Ikot abasi did not see the captured as their kinsmen. The Efiks at Itu sold the ibibio. Few ibibios at itu may have also captured slaves from other clans . Even in the US some freed black slaves also captured and enslaved other black slaves.

.

I can tell your stock, it is clearly visible. Fulani conquered illorin and till tomorrow it is clearly visible.
So Itu, Eket and other places don't have histories and stories of this raids and they don't have grudges like the ways IBO's have for Aros?
Efiks that dared not crossed Uruans water or is it Oron that dared not crossed into the bushes of Uruan, are they the lots that wanted to dare the ever fiery Eket tribes?

If you want to see the slave port and history of Itu, I will gladly show you but sharap you mouth of Efiks in Itu.

Even the so-called Efiks were kicked out from Uruan and Oku-Iboku of the Ibibios before camouflaging as Efiks at arrival of the merchants from Europe

Anecdote:
Ibibos never owned slaves ,they were enslaved. Arochwuku captured Igbo slaves in the hinterland and handed over to Efiks at Itu and Calabar who in turn sold to the whites. Ikot Abasi is not real ibibio and was not a major slave port. Only 3 Ships left Ikot Abasi (Opobo) port. Also, in those days there was no such thing as igbo or ibibio. Aro did not see those slaves as their kinsmen, also Ikot abasi raided and captured slaves at Eket ,Esit Eket ,Mkpat Enin ,Onna and did not see them as their kinsmen.

.

Aros raided where? Know how you run ya mouth!
Have you been to the slave port at Itu? So the Aros raided these towns yet there are no traces of Aro culture in Ibibios soil but if you go down to Ngwas and other IBO communities they will tell you the havoc of the Aros
If you don't have any slave port and slave dealers in your family why not keep shut

Anecdote:
Ibibos never owned slaves ,they were enslaved. Arochwuku captured slave in the hinterland and sold to Efiks who in turn sold to the whites.

.

So the inner ports of Itu and IkotAbasi were controlled by who?
Enslaved by who?

Y0rubakwe:
Hahaha. All of the slave dealers had Igbo names. Ibibios and the rest where sold as slaves, but Igbos where in higher demand because they yielded more money. They where seen as “super negro” because they where more muscular and superior to the rest. The ibibio where seen as sickly and dirty by their aro slave masters and they didn’t profit much from them, so they didn’t sell them as much as other tribes such as igbos and the rest. Igbos had thriving civilization, it’s just that we where last to be westernized because we fought against the whites for more than 25 years. I don’t know who told you that Igbos where bush people...

.


Stop consolingly yourselves with lies, even in Arrochukwu Ibibios is still spoken the culture still reigns supreme.
You were not last to be westernized, you were total Bushmen penetrated only by the Aros who spoke Ibos and Ibibios, captured and brought you lots to bigger Ibibio port towns for onward departure to Calabar.
Plz don't bring in money or super negroes as many of them did commit Mass suicide, there is a thread about it here on NAIRALAND in the culture section
Like I said earlier, if you are still suffering from the afflictions melted on you lots by the Aros go and face them.
Aros dared not ventured into Itu and even continued practising the Ibibios culture till tomorrow, how then did they conquer AkwaCross?

Keep your miseries to yourself.

You are IBO and yet you don't know the difference between Aros and Nris?

Y0rubakwe:
Off topic but if we where to go back in history, igbos should own akwa ibom, cross rivers and some parts of Cameron. The aros conquered these locations fair and square. The fulanis conquered kwarra, but they can still claim ownership of the state till date. Why don’t the government allow igbos for the ownership of akwa ibom and cross rivers? Did our ancestors war effort go to waste?!?!

.

Better mind that leaking mouth of yours, the Aros conquered who?
The Igbos should own AkwaIbom/ Cross River where?
Yet over 95% of slave taken out of Itu, Ikot abasi( Opopo) and Calabar ports were strictly IBO's
Look when ancient Calabar, Itu, Ikot Abasi, Bonny and Benin cities were dealing with merchants you lots were still running naked deep Inside the interior bushes

If you are still suffering from the effects the Aros melted on you Igbo's and sold majority of you to the Ibibio slaves dealers never you repeat that ego tripping LIES again.
Aros were rebelled slaves to the Ibibios at Ibom, they betrayed the Ibibio ruler by conniving with the disgruntled chiefs younger brother together with the Akpas( Ekoi) to kill the ruler of Ibom.

Other Ibibios town existed long before Ibom which is just up the river from the a major inner port of Itu.
Never did they conquered any AkwaCross land or by any means controlled any seaport but only brought slaves of IBO extraction to the Ibibios
