pazienza:


Obolo is only politically Ijaw today.

The language is Ibibiod with little Igbo and Ijaw words.


Obolo is a distinct Ethnic group under Ijaw Nation.

Ijo is a language while ," IJAW" is a Nation made up of various ethnic nationalities which OBOLO (Andoni) is one of them.

We all share similar history and cultural values.

Obolo is not and was never Ibibio.
macof:
I want to know, are Obolo ethnically(includes History nd Language) Ijo or just politically?

ChinenyeN:
Some sources want to group the Igbo ethnographic region as part of the Lower Niger. If we entertain the grouping, then that effectively places the date for bronze working in the area as early as the ninth or tenth century, thanks to the Igbo-Ukwu findings. So, it was a well-developed practice long before the Portuguese arrived. That's if we accept that the Igbo ethnographic region is part of the Lower Niger. If not, then based on the little I've managed to piece together with Google Books, the dating for the industry is effectively between the 15th and 19th centuries.

I didn't manage to get anything about where the alloy supposedly came from though. That'll probably require digging deeper.

As for which communities to credit with the bronze works, we certainly can't really rule anything out, since (according to sources) the Lower Niger bronzes show so much diversity. That's part of the reason why the academia has yet to localize them. So, definitely, it's possible that hinterland smiths had some role in producing and/or disseminating bronze works in the area. After all, even the coastal communities within the Lower Niger region have traditions which specifically recognize some of these hinterland smith groups. The Ohafia and Obolo, for example, mention each other in their traditions.

The source of the lower Niger bronzes still remains a mystery.
Most of those bronzes were attributed to deities thus there sources concealed from the general public.
You'll hear oral tradition like the bronze work came from the gods, came out of water e.t.c

Although I won't rule out the possibilities of most of the bronzes coming from neighbouring igbo blacksmiths
(Abriba , Nkwerre , Awka )

The manillas actually came from the Portuguese .

Ohafia and Aro's found in present day igbo land actually originated from Obolo (Andoni)

You may find this link also useful for the sources of lower niger bronzes

If you believe Buhari when he said he has no money to buy nomination form , while his wife wears a #10 million watch and children living lavishly in the UK , then there's nothing hard to believe .

Yes we love investigating , they now belong to the public.

It is not a long uncommon sentence. Anyone could have said "He belongs to no one, but everyone" without ever having a fore knowledge someone sang it in a song. It's just like saying what goes up must come down must always be credited to Isaac Newton. You don't have to cite or credit anyone if a saying has become a "common knowledge"

This very one was gotten from the above song and credit should be given to him and not buhari

Lyrics

Who is the clown?
Who is the fool?
which one knows that he is blame?
and which one is last in the game?


I can hear the voice, why can they?
I am glad i wasn't born into your world,
It would be sad to be born into a world that does not
believe in love anymore.


I'm not wrong
They say, they understand me.
But i can't stand to be understood.


I like for people to like me
But they can't understand why i don't belong to
anyone.


who am i?
I'm all of you
I belong to everyone
Because i belong to no one


In my World, there is no time
Time is being born and dying
Beyond time is living without being afraid
Without trying to catch someone or run away from so
many.


you can't get away from alone
You have to be alone before you can find other
people
You can't hold on to life
You can only touch it


How old is forever?
When is too old to hope?


You're tired and i am not.
You live against time and i have time to live.


In my World, nothing has always been,
So, nothing will always be.
In my World, we can still believe in hope
If you believe in forever, you build a wall around the
Now what is, is always changing
If it isn't then we are dying.


I live in a notion of time
Where the past is lost in the future
There is time for everything
There is time to love
To hope,
To change.
Nobody knows me now...

ACCORDING TO THE MERRIAM-WEBSTER ONLINE
DICTIONARY, TO "PLAGIARIZE" MEANS

▶to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
▶To use (another's production) without crediting the source
▶To commit literary theft
▶To present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source

If that be the case President Buhari should be Charged for using Erics Burdons "I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody" without crediting the Source.

The said quote Credited to buhari was gotten from the lyrics of Eric Burdons 1971 track "Out Of Nowhere"
