pazienza:
The Obolo language is "Ibibiod" with little Igbo and few Ijaw words. That's the truth.

Obolo is distinct from Ibibio , the little traces of igbo & ibibio found in obolo language came in through Igbo & Ibibio slaves who were allowed to settle in obolo after slave trade was abolished.

The core central obolo spoken within Ngo axis of Andoni L.G.A rivers state is well defined. You find majority of ibibio influence in the one spoken in Ibeno axis of akwa ibom.

Obolo , ibibio , efik are never the same thing

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?

JTF looking for trouble.
Illegal mining going on daily in the north and nobody cares.

denkyw:
seriously buhari is too dull and slow to act, and to think he is even a retired general makes me wonder more.

Idiagbon was working the miracles back then, Now the brainless General waiting for Osibanjo to perform prayer sessions.

@Op what about all the various death toll round the country since may 29.

Onitsha Tanker,

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)

Na so them dey start, They are complaining for non payment of thier amnesty fees, people who have no certificates or degrees whatsoever being paid at least 50 thousand Naira for doing absolutely no work

If they wound a soldier now and (the soldier happens to be a fulani/hausa ) and other soldiers retaliate they will start screaming that They are being killed

Anyways , It's time for this Fraud to end

And the brainless Dullard with no certificate is busy travelling about with Niger Delta Oil Money.

Sure we don't belong to the same country

That bill with 11 years can't be tolerated in the south.

Mortiple:
It beats my imagination that FFK believes such a joke! Well, I am not surprised, it's all about politics.

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 .

What's the joke with the "Sai Buhari" suicide bomber?

Xplicitunechi:
.This Situation is getting out of hand, It became worse since May 29th.


BUHARI should better act fast and save the people



RIP TO THE DEAD

Buhari is Bad Luck

The picture of our amiable personable Buhari and his sparkling beauty.. God indeed has over-blessed this union.

While the well meaning Nigerians are busy appreciating this wonderful view, Haters are busy investigating the worth of Aisha's neck-lace, wristwatch, ring, eye-glass, veil etc

#joblessNIGERIANS

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

Meanwhile Osibanjo's Wife (No Wrist watch , No bracelets, No Neck lace) Just one tiny earring and simple wedding ring.

BabaOneChance call your wife to order. PTF oyel moni

barcanista:
Only God knows the quantity of those Aisha and her husband have in their collection. They should declare their asset publicly

Supported Buhari declare your Assets publicly.

Only 1 watch for 10 million , God knows what collections she got in her closet.

U see your life? The positive things about the administration is credited to idiabong while the negative aspect is carried out by Buhari abi? Your own madness don reach another level, pls go get help before u begin chop shi.t from toilet.

Buhari was operating under the shadows of Idiagbon same way he wants to operate behind Osibanjo.

We won't allow that he should visit maiduguri

He should go to Maiduguri #EyeService
Buhari is just a puppet , Idiagbon was the real deal.

“We are not going to be patient with the president. That would be adulterous. Patience is married to Jonathan and has left Abuja for Otuoke. The president should be satisfied with Aisha.”

UncleLondon:
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

cozy7:
When will u PDP guys leave GMB alone? He simply meant to say he's not anyone's puppet....especially Tinubu.
Let leave this dictionary thing n allow d honest man rule peacefully.

He should @ least give credit to Eric Bourdon ,

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"

Can someone please explain their roles and how are they different?

Two spokesmen. One must likely be an interpreter for Buhari's poor English.
