If we maintain such hard posture it will likely result in a war, which the people of Opobo and Bonny will suffer the most, we can agree on a system where one becomes officially part of AlaIgbo while the other becomes part of Ijaw, we can build bridge across, it doesn't mean we are relinquishing our people it is just that these people are mixed and to avoid major issues that can cause severe bad blood.

We would still interact with Bonny afterwards and we would be able to assist them if need be but to reduce such cost, truth is Nigeria may not even be outrightly dividing but we can build AlaIgbo within Nigeria, in the event that Nigeria divides it would be all for himself but peaceful approach would help us focus on other challenges as a Nation let's go for peace, if it fails at least we know we tried it is not easy but thats the best

The bolded is 100% unacceptable.

Igbos will not be rewarding any landgrabbing back-stabbing moves. It is more justifiable to reward people who didn't try to expropriate our ancestral territories than those who did that.

For Igbos to give up Bonny, Ijaws will have to provide an admirable piece of territory in exchange. But it is unlikely the royal household of Bonny will ever agree to severing their links with their Igbo blood relatives, neither will they be willing to have their land, considered a complete Ijaw territory.
So the best option is for Ijaws to remain in their territory and let Igbos of Bonny and Opobo be. Of course, Igbos realise that there are non-Igbo people in those areas, so they will have to be well accommodated, so that they don't feel like aliens overnight.

Some Ga and Ewe are Still Bilingual and their Rulers wear Ife Crowns

The fact that they are bilingual means they had to learn a second language.

I am telling you that Bonny and Opobo people speak Igbo as their first language. Some of them are being cajoled and forced to learn languages that are foreign to them. Those languages are English and Ibani

EngrKemp:
U know nothing.
Igbo is not widely spoken.
Ibani is the language and ijaw the culture.

Nobody cares about ur inferior thoughts and imaginations.
U r low class.
We bought u igbos as slaves n u can't come claim nothing.
U igbos r second class even in Nigeria.
Hard yruth since u don't want to respect urselves

Nwokem, you can bleat all you want, Bonny and Opobo will remain Igbo terrtories till thy kingdom come. Some Igbo territories still use OBA as the title of their traditional rulers and they still relate with their fellow wider Igbo communities.

Igbo remains the number one traditional language being spoken in both Bonny and Opobo.

The first attachment clearlys shows that
1. The lineage of the traditional rulers of Bonny, is Igbo
2. The middle class and indigenes of Bonny are of Igbo descent.
3. The slaves were also chiefly Igbo. But of course, we know that Ijaw cannibals, Ibibio and Edo slaves will also be there

So basically the first attachment clearly insinuates that the slave traders in Bonny were Igbos. That will make sense, because Aro middlemen are much more likely to deal with their fellow Igbo Bonny slave merchants that spoke their language.

The second attachment clearly shows the true map of Igboland and drawn by Basden, decades before Nigeria was created. I know Ijaws have great respect for Basden and his opinions regarding the Niger Delta. Please further have respect for the map of Igboland that he drew

These your land-grabbing won't work. People are just keeping quiet. At the appointed time, you will know you are biting more than you can chew.

Christistruth00:
The Ga People of Accra and the Ewe People Of Lomé Togo Claim a Yoruba descent

Yorubas don’t Claim to own them

At most Yoruba say they are relatives fullstop

Their Lands and Identify belongs to them

Do the Ga and the Ewe people still speak Yoruba as their first language?

Bonny and Opobo people still speak Igbo as their first language. Go figure

To ignorant people here.....

The simple truth is that Igbos will not be relinquishing our ties with both Ubani (Bonny) and Opobo.
Both towns are still being traditionally led by Igbo royal families right from time immemorial.

Buddy, you did not answer any of my questions for obvious reasons; you have no answer.

We’ve all been talking about moving the economy from consumption to production since 1999 and we are still here. So you see, talk is cheap.

Weren't you the person that pointed out that Nigeria only exports oil and as such, shouldn't worry about protectionist retaliation?

We all know Peter Obi will do a better job at diversifying the Nigerian economy than the current Tinubu-inspired economy. Peter Obi has already been found out to be a better manager of resources, compared to either Tinubu or Fashola. As such, I expect him to have a better roadmap for Nigeria to move from CONSUMPTION TO PRODUTION.

The current economy running on Tinubu's roadmap, has clearly been inspired by a very inferior economic mind (Tinubu).

I will encourage you BATstards to keep quiet. The Nigerian economy has been run for nearly 8 years now, on Tinubu's blueprint. Tinubu has proven to be a complete failure.
A superior mind is now angling to take over the reins of the Nigerian horse. Peter Obi is his name. Sit back, relax and learn from your economic superiors.

seunmsg:
Can you mention the countries that currently have retaliatory tariffs against export from Nigeria? What exactly are we even exporting out of Nigeria other than crude oil?

You guys really think managing the economy of Nigeria is a joke. Where will we even get the forex to pay for the unrestricted importation your container economy expert is advocating for?

You guys want to kill Nigeria and we won’t allow you.

I don't believe I have descended to arguing with your kind.

So you haven't heard Obi and his surrogates talk about moving the country from CONSUMPTION TO PRODUCTION, thus implying increased export activities?

It is clear you only have oil export in mind just like other BATstards, which is why your collabo with Buhari has brought this nation to its economic knees since 2015

Obi has been talking about Nigeria diversifying from oil and increasing her exports as a byproduct of our production increase, and people who are clearly backward and only focussing oil are here, criticizing Obi for a well thought-out policy of removing restrictions from imports, that will go hand in hand with the anticipated increased production.

Already, it's been established that Obi was by far, a better governor of Anambra state than Tinubu and Fashola were governors of Lagos state.

It will be nice to also compare the performances of Virgy Etiaba, Ngige, Obiano and Mbadinuju against the performances of Tinubu and Fashola.
I suspect that most of the aforementioned Anambra governors will beat Tinubu and Fashola

seunmsg:
Lol. Every Tom, Dick and Obi now has an opinion on how to easily fix the economy. Just lift import restriction on restricted items and boooooom, the economy will start flying.

You sound like someone with no business instincts.

You have to lift import restriction on everything, but we can increase the tax on imports of certain items that are already manufactured locally by more than one manufacturer, to ensure their is no monopoly and the resultant exploitative policies of the monopolist.

You also don't want the nation being seen as an ultra-protectionist country, that attracts retaliatory measures from other countries.

Even the import duties on these certain items have to be very negotiable at the government -to-foreign government level. Scratch my back and i scratch your back understandings.

No-one wants Nigerian exporters being hit with retaliatory protectionist measures from other foreign countries, when they wish to export their wares

Anyway thank God Peter Obi will get in there with a proper Igbo man's business sense.

All these half-baked semi-illiterate ways will soon become a thing of the past

One of the most important benefits of removing import restrictions is that it empowers local exporters and gives them the moral high ground, as their exports are less likely to attract punitive duties from foreign countries, who will note the fact that these exports are coming from a country that has no import restrictions.

Certain countries can retaliate, if they feel your country is restricting their exports to your country.

Sannisege:
And them still dey run come Lagos

Igbos dey go Borno also. That doesn't mean Lagos and Borno are the best states in Nigeria.

Igbos go to these places for business

Kyase:
Show us what’s on ground oga

If it’s by data, economically Buhari is the best president ever, so what are you Saying

Show us the comprehensive data that states that Buhari is the best president ever. The data must come from a reputable organisation also.

And btw, Tinubu stated that he wanted to continue in Buhari's leadership footsteps. That already should be an insight into Tinubu's leadership level.

Kyase:
Data kee you there

Show us what’s on ground

Which one be data

Another illiterate sighted

Lifeiseazi:
Lol…then he should live in the anambra na

He lives in Onitsha which happens to be in Anambra

thebosstrevor1:
Then if he outperformed both tinubu and Fashola

Why is it that Anambra people always run to lagos?

The same way Chinese people also come to Lagos. To make money.

Igbos also travel throughout Nigeria to make money. Not just Lagos

emerged01:
Nothing for Agricultural sector?

What do you think FOOD SECURITY is all about?

Food security is even the number 1 in his list of top priorities

Kai!!!!

.

First of all Abiola won in Anambra. This is in spite of the fact that Torfa's running mate was an Igbo man.

And Abiola still got more than 40% of votes from every Igbo state.

Will Peter Obi win Lagos, and get more than 40% of valid votes cast in the SWin 2023 presidential election? We will wait and see

deeptechcool:
Hmmm....where's Hundeyin and his deiliquent minions? Now that the Eagle has landed, what do they have to say now?

When a man is big , he is big. When he flies, just appreciate God's beauty in the sky. No amount of hatred and bitterness can down him.

So all this your diatribe, just because Tinubu got down from a plane.

Tinubu has no place to hide now. He must attend any debates with the other presidential candidates.

Let him wait a little more, for Obi to return from his Harvard lectures. Tinubu's illiteracy will soon be exposed.

Channels and arise tv should immediately invite him for some interviews. I wan check somtim

Everybody is now copying Obi's policies.

Can't people be original for once.

So all these while, he knew education was important and yet, throughout his presidency, there was no sign of him treating education as a major focus.

Kwankwaso, Buhari, Atiku are now copying Obi's policies.

I am sure Tinubu will start copying it shortly, once he recovers from his many illnesses and is no longer in need of catheters

He looks like a monkey swinging on a tree.

Wetin man no go see

This Kwankwaso of a man is all out to copy Peter Obi.

Yesterday he was talking about moving the country from consumption to production.

Today he is talking about the incubating anarchy that will burst into the open if the youths joblessness is not well handled.

Copycat. I thought he kept boasting of his Phd. Why is he copying Obi?

He even talked about restructuring Nigeria. And we all know that people like Kwankwaso, Shettima, Buhari will rather sell their balls to a dibia for 20 naira, than support restructuring of Nigeria

KnowAll:
If Tinubu believe he is fit, he should accept that grandma’s challenge otherwise Mr Emilokun your time don pass already.

But it is not fair though. Tinubu is much older than that grandmother. That grandmother should go pick on her agemates. Not looking for older ancestors to torment

Papparassi:
Opobo was founded by King Jaja

Opobo is owned by the Jaja family.

Igbo Kwenu !!!!!

nabiz:
APC should stop disturbing us with Tinubu riding bicycle. What are they trying to say? They should visit Ngwa in abia state and Akwaibom and see women in their 80s carrying load on a bicycle.

Though the 80+ year old woman shown in the picture, is slightly younger than Tinubu, she rides a moving bicycle, while Tinubu is riding one that is going nowhere

Truthisunique2:
you just like to deceive yourself

I support Atiku but do laugh at you people expecting to hold anything significant in Yoruba states

This is Lagos the home of social media, Obi base

Just women of island alone o, not men and youths added like obidients

And this is the area of the rich so called englighted who don't need Tinubu money, it means mainland is pure water for Tinubu

Tinubu can pull this and more of the same one gender in multiple areas

You obviously are not aware that Tinubu youth urchins rallied in Ikeja about two weeks ago and they weren't even up to 500. I saw the pitiful march as they were marching along Kudirat Abiola way.

.

They have to hold it in 5 sites in Lagos simultaneously before I can take Tinubu seriously in Lagos. Obviously Tinubu financially induced some women organisations to rally for him

Obi's people had huge rallies in about 5 or 6 sites in Lagos two days ago.

And Obi's rally in the island was 3 or 4 times as massive as the picture above

Coming from the same people that gave us Buhari in 2015

Stick your opinion up your AS-iwaju, you BATstard

SlayerForever:
1. Obi is not an Igbo project.
2. The election is not a Niger Delta referendum on Biafra.
3. The Niger Delta is not made up of only Enuani, Ukwuani and Ikwerre.
4. Support for Obi is not automatically a support for Biafra. Nigerians are overwhelmed by poor governance and are only seeking a way out.
5. Igbo claims in Niger Delta is not going anywhere. Let us reiterate our position that most of the coastal areas in Rivers and part of Bayelsa are Igbos.


Good afternoon everyone. How have you all been?

Thanks for telling them how it is.

It is clear that the initial message by the OP is in tandem with miyetti Allah aspirations.
MACBAN is working overtime to prevent an Obi presidency. They need a divided south to carry on with their terrorism and banditry unperturbed and seemingly above the law.

The Fulanis fear that Peter Obi will restructure Nigeria and truly go after the Buhari-protected terrorists, so their game plan is to play their usual divisive game they are experts at, which SS elders fell for, in the past.

Fulani oligarchs are clearly terrified of an Igbo presidency because such a president will have the balls to do stuff, other southern presidents will be terrified to do.

But PO is a democrat and a dove, so these unjustified fear is misplaced, but he won't roll over for Fulani oligarchs and won't be the intimidated like they did to GEJ.

Not one single banner or placard, showing a picture of the APC presidential candidate.

What this means is that they got the crowd under false pretences.

This is just another for fraudulent gathering
