PHijo:
Magnus Abe never said that, if he even said that, as an Ogoni man he has not right to talk about Ijaw issues.

Even Wike has told you he is not Igbo. Stay off Rivers Ijaw like Bonny etc. You don't know the history of Oyigbo. It was one of the Ijaw outposts Okrika and Bonny traders used as a transit point for Igbo slaves prior to moving them to Okrika and then Bonny before they are eventually sold for export.

I wonder why you guys can't respect your boundaries. We don't want you, accept your fate.

Tamuno help your children abeg!

Wike has also warned you Ijaws off Rivers. Have you forgotten?

Read my signature, to learn more about Ubani (Richness of land)

So now both Ogonis and Ijaws are scrambling for Oyigbo LGA. Come and take it

Nwaelohim:
Decieve your self. Do you know where Ogba is in Rivers State? Ask questions

Ogba people are in ONELGA (Ogba Ndoni Egbema LGA). ONELGA and Oyigbo LGAs have the most oil reserves in Nigeria.

But when it comes to gas, Anambra and Imo state lead

Seerade029:
My state, Ondo state also has gas.

Untapped ones.
Stop feeling funky

Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwaibom, Enugu, Lagos etc also have gas.

But the states with the most gas reserves are Imo and Anambra

airsaylongcom:
My point? Bonny aren't Igbo. Go to Finima or Bonny and tell them they are Igbos and see/hear their reactions.

Please read the content of the attachment in my signature section.

It will completely answer this question. Bear in mind that book was the first book ever written about Ubani (Bonny) nearly 200 years ago.

Alternatively, you can Google what Magnus Abe said about Bonny and the Ndokki-Igbo owners of the town.

If they've started denying their Igbo ancestry, it is purely because of the post war politics of intimidation that has gone on for many decades now, the latest of which is the massacre of Ndokki people in OYIGBO LGA, all in a ploy for them to sever their genetic links with their immediate brothers in the SE

airsaylongcom:
Lol. Bonny people that were known for selling Igbo slaves to the Brits?

Aro people are also known for selling Igbo slaves, so what's your point?

luminouz:
No.wonder other tribes hate you. Needless chestbeating
Lots of wrong information too

I am not Ndoki, so I don't know why you think I am chest eating.

Anyway all the information I supplied are accurate. Please feel free to correct the wrong one

Bryanobi:
GuyMan Are you from Ndoki

I'm from Anambra. Are you from NDOKI?

God seems to be answering Igbo people's prayers. Haters will not like this at all. Afamed and helinues and seunmsg. The news is not looking great for you guys

The Igbo communities in Abia and Imo state who had earlier discoveries of oil were cut in Half by the Nigerian government and added to Rivers state.

What the Nigerian Government didn't know at that time was that years later, the other communities that they didn't manipulate with useless boundaries will also discover their own oil in large quantities.

Unfortunately some igbo communities have some of their villages in both the SE and SS because of this evil.

Now they are fighting hard for Obigbo people to renounce their Igboness, which will never happen anyway. They have started massacring Ndoki/Asa people of Obigbo. But God is on the throne.

Ndoki/Asa people have to stay strong, and not let themselves be confused by internal colonialists.

Ndoki people have some of the most enviable real estates in Nigeria, which include Bonny (Ubani) and Obuaku and Oyigbo LGA, which along with ONELGA another Igbo LGA, are the LGAs in Nigeria with the largest oil deposits.

horsepower102:
Once Aba starts having reliable electricity, it will undergo a rapid industrial revolution never seen before in Nigeria.

Mind you the gas is coming from the oil and gas areas of southern Abia state.

Abia, Imo and Anambra all have oil and gas in commercial quantities but some people accuse South East Igbos of wanting Niger delta oil. You cannot want what you already have in abundance.

The largest gas reserves by far in Nigeria are in Igboland.
Imo and Anambra lead the way. Abia and other Igbo areas of the Niger delta, are representing solidly also.

Igbo people's prayers for Trump are working wonders.

Helinues, Afamed, Seunmsg and co are not teasing Igbos anymore

IDENNAA:
I get it and often times I would correct people but be classy about it, so , that people can respect Nri-Igbo. You are not the only one that love Nri , the descendant of this civilization are littered all over eastern or western flank. But , now , you are sounding like you have some inferior mindset due to your abrasive attitude.

Inferior mindset as in what?

Anybody with genuine lack of knowledge on NRI matters, I supply humbly.

Anybody that wishes to be condescending or insulting, gets insulted, and that is the way it's gonna be.

I probably know more about the Nris than anyone else in this forum, so there is the likelihood that people may see the new information I reveal from time to time, as boastful, and possibly made up.

It is in fact because of that same reason that I have chosen not to reveal all, that I know about NRI here. There are a number of things that I know that will even baffle Umu-Nri people in this forum, so there is no room for inferiority mindset with me.
A few years and months ago, Benin people in this forum had a freehand in twisting history and claiming how they civilized the Igbos. I don't remember reading you or the other Umu-Nri forumites, putting up an appreciable challenge, to correct the falsified history. To me that is inferiority mindset.
I was the person that helped provide evidence here of Igbo cultural independence, and in fact Benin cultural reliance on Nri-Igbo people. Some other Igbo battlers helped in that fight.

Don't you know that whenever Igbos are attacked culturally, it is the duty of the Nris to lead in that fight? Look at the identity crisis crippling the Ikwerres and Ogbas. Do you know that neither IPOB nor Ohanaeze has what it takes to reverse that. What does Nnia Nwodo or Nnamdi Kanu know about foundation of Igbo towns and cultural practices.
Do you know that the only clan that can reverse the cultural rot in Rivers state is the NRI clan. That is the only clan that can effectively shrink the proverbial Benin cultural d!ck and history twisting that has gone unchallenged in Rivers. But I am not allowed to reveal this because it will start seeming as though I am boasting.

Igbos are their own worst enemies at times. Today the Edo state government properly funds the Oba of Benin palace. Ooni of Ife is properly funded. But the Eze NRI palace is not funded at all by the Anambra state government. The Eze just received the same stipends as any warrant chief.
What this means is that the Oba of Benin can set up efforts to twist history in Igbo speaking areas, and NRI doesn't have the resources to protect Igbo cultural frontiers. That is what we now see, happening in Rivers state. Another long story I prefer to avoid at this juncture

IDENNAA:
Nnaa, take it easy , you are too aggressive and boastful. Yes, Nri played a major role in shaping Igbo culture but lets slow down so that people can accord us the respect we deserve.


Also , there is nothing like Nri and Igbo! Many communities paid homage to Eze Nri as a spiritual head who administer rituals. Nri , which I am of the lineage are bonafide Igbo.

I fail to see the aggression in the message you were referring to. I was dishing out pure unadulterated information.

From time to time, I can get spirited especially when I notice someone getting lackadaisical about his or her ancestry, or disparaging Nri-Igbo contributions to Igbo, Benin and Igala cultural practices.
Alarm bells start going off in my mind, reminiscent of alarm bells that go off in Igbo people, when Ikwerres deny their Igboness.

It doesn't make sense when an Igbo person is annoyed with the Ikwerres for denying their Igboness, while at the same time, the same Igbo person is denying his or her NRI cultural links.

Bkayyy:
That is where you get it wrong, apart Agbor, Onitsha, Ogwashi ukwu and ụmụ eri the rest are Republics. Yes they have Nze na Ọzọ but you know that a community has lots of those and in some, one represents a sub clan in the community and then goes with the title Obi.
As for the Nnewi issue, you have a good point because I believe that their modern history of severing many links including that of the origin of Uruagu Nnewi was based on political importance. After all the anaedo clan is made up of Nnewi, ịchị and Oraifite signing the Ikenga, obi and ifite/ihite which is a sign of Nri and originality of a true Igbo clan

So you believe you know about monarchies in Igboland, better than those that instituted and crowned those monarchs in ancient times?
What is your source of information on Igbo monarchy?
Don't you think the best source of information on Igbo monarchy is NRI? The same NRI that crowned well known non-Igbo monarchs that the whole world marvels at?

I am here, telling you that there were 66 monarchies in Igboland before the coming of the white people, according to the Nris, and you are here quoting an unknown source. There were 100s, if not more than a 1,000 of Igbo towns in the past, so 66 monarchies is a small fraction.

Bkayyy:
LOL at "every king in Igbo land" like there were more than two established Kingdoms in northern Igboland. Nri only crowns herself and Onitsha. The rest are established Republics and many headed by Obi and Okpala

According to the Nris, there were only 66 Igbo kingdoms before the coming of the Europeans.

Ogwashiuku, Agbor, Onitsha, Uruala, Nnewi, Oraeri, NRI e.t.c

Most towns were governed by the Nze na Ozo society or council of elders

ysquare:
Here you are talking about loyalty and still want apc to present you with presidential ticket ahead of those who have been loyal to them. Check am na, think am again but this time slowly


stay there and fight for it then we take you serious

Yorubas were not loyal to PDP and yet Obasanjo was elected on that platform

Bkayyy:
I've addressed the case of ịkpụ alụ already. Akanri were sent for those processes but as for coronation, nobody coronated Igwe Nnewi. Infact the leader of Nnewi has always been the Obi of Otolo it was even of recent days that he started going by the title Igwe.
Nri was just the spiritual capital nothing more.

NRI also no longer crowns any kings, NRI used to crown every king in Igboland and Igodomigodo and Igala.

All these changed around 1910 or so, when the. British forces Eze NRI Obalike to sever the cultural links between NRI and the Igbos.
Subsequent warrant chiefs were forced to renounce Eze NRI in their oaths of office before the British recognized them.
It is a long story.

Anyway the crowning of kings was a spiritual exercise, which was why it was totally within the sphere of NRI duties

Someone should tell this lady to stick her advice.

When Obama was throwing us under the bus, why didn't she say anything

When Obama was fighting left right and centre, to enthrone a WASC-less, dictatorial jihadist massacring president on Nigerians, she was nowhere to be found.

Abeg, Trump has my support. He is much more likely to protect the Christian populations of the world, than Biden or any democrat for that matter

ThatFairGuy:
Where's righteousness89 when you need him.

Don't avoid the thread of this your God-sent, Trump.

Chinekemeeee Just a few days ago, you guys were rejoicing that Igbos have lost out because you though Biden had been declared the president-elect.

Now reality is beginning to set in

helinues:
Do you understand the meaning of looting?

The hoodlums were robbing people....

Robbing ooh,. Looting ooh, are all stealing.

Why did Buhari authorize the shooting of peaceful protesters?

helinues:
Were those people not taken care of on time just like the protesters?

Were they killed?

helinues:
Those are hoodlums not protesters.....

And what's Lekki massacre? Where did that take place?

Lekki in Miami?

So in your book, rampaging hoodlums should be left alone, while peaceful protesters should be shot with live bullets.

Anyway the massacre happened in Lekki, hence Lekki tollgate massacre

helinues:
Looting during Coronavirus curfew?

Abeg do you have any credible source to back this claim up?

If you Google for it, I'm sure you will find it.

But get back to the topic. The Lekki massacre

owobokiri:
I hope they won't go to the hospital to finish him off

Or bribe him, so he can start saying he received his bullet wounds from his village people. Expect stories in the next few days. Either he is dead or the story changes

helinues:
Was there any protest during the Coronavirus curfew/lockdown?

Yes, there were bands of criminals who were looting shops and harassing people in Lagos during the Coronavirus curfew. They obviously were not peaceful, yet not much was done to curtail their activities.

Yet, Buhari sent soldiers out to kill peaceful protesters at Lekki

helinues:
You dodged the question?

Was it FG that placed curfew in Lagos on the day of Lekki event?

Why would Buhari deployed army to Lekki?

I believe both of your questions are taken care of, by the last statement I made, in my previous message.

There was a curfew in Lagos at the height of the Coronavirus pandemic. I don't recall the army shooting defaulters.

There was a curfew in Lagos meant to start at 9pm, the army went to Lekki at 7pm and started shooting people. Every human being in Nigeria, was aware of the change of time from 4pm to 9pm. The government did not send me any private email informing me of the change of time, but it was a general knowledge as it was all over the media, and it was repeated several times by Lagos state government top officials.

Sanwolu's curfew was to start at 9pm. So in fact the army's presence in Lekki had nothing to do with Sanwolu's 9pm curfew, otherwise they would have waited till 9pm to start shooting.

The army was there at 7pm, on a shooting spree, ordered by Buhari.

The questions for Sanwolu should include, In spite of the fact that his curfew was to start at 9pm, did he request for the military to be there by 7pm?
Did he also request that the army should shoot peaceful Lekki tollgate demonstrators by 7pm
If not, did he request that the army should shoot peaceful Lekki tollgate demonstrators at 9pm

For Buhari's people, they should also answer the following. Did they receive a request from Sanwolu for soldiers to be deployed at Lekki tollgate hours before the curfew?
Did they receive a request from Sanwolu for soldiers to shoot peaceful protesters around 7pm?
If so, why did they grant such a wicked request to shoot at peaceful protesters?
If not, why did Buhari authorize the army to kill peaceful protesters with live bullets, at 7pm?

Juliusmalema:
It has been long you started writing it. Take it to Bini as usual to dribble.

Maybe mgbeke, mgbafor and mgbenkwo are also enshrined in your shrine.


Stewwwpiddity on freestyle. The history was apt and straight and no place was nri tagged in and that settles the case.

Much of the cultural practices in Nnewi points to their NRI links in the past. You can go and jump off a cliff, for all I care.

And yes, Mgbeke and the rest are names given to female children within the NRI sphere of influence, who were born on those market days dedicated to those NRI shrines. Eat your heart out

helinues:
From Sahara Deserted...

So na FG placed curfew in Lagos State on the day of Lekki event?

Curfew does not translate to "go and shoot unarmed protesters".

To me though, both the requester and the authorizer, have questions to answer.

Juliusmalema:
There is nothing to ask. Are you lips sealed that you are asking me to ask who?

Your lies should be fed to outsiders as usual and not shooting yourself up and down with nri bla bla bla.

The people has nothing to do with nri.

Confirms my point. You are not Igbo.

NKWO Nnewi, how do you think it came about? Clue: Umu-Nri own all the market day shrines

Juliusmalema:
Nwadienu indeed.

You lie alot with these your nri bla bla


Take that lies to outsiders unless you want to continue diagrace yourself.

Which clan does the IKPU ALU in Nnewi?

If you don't know, go and ask Nnewi elders and they will tell you. I am already certain you're not from Nnewi

Bkayyy:
That is a ballant lie. Nri was just the spiritual capital of Nri environs not Anaedo. It's like you haven't heard of Anaedo before. Nri never crowned anybody from the anaedo clan

.

Which clan abrogates abominations in Nnewi? IKPU ALU
Everywhere NRI people carried out IKPU ALU, NRI people crowned their kings in ancient times, if they had monarchies

You think this is all about talking and doing gragra.

I am a nwadiana in Uruagu Nnewi by the way, so I know way more about Nnewi than you know.

Amotolongbo:
Back your claim up with substantial references and fact.

This is not a beer parlor

Alternatively you can prove me wrong, with incontrovertible facts.

This is not your drug den
