Shiver99:
Does anyone else have any pictures of Igbo delicacies? ( preferably not soups). I personally would have posted more soups. (And there are a lot of them) But I already created a thread focusing on them here:

https://www.nairaland.com/6364237/showcasing-diversity-igbo-cuisine

I have heard of a lot more foods myself, but the sad thing is that there are no google images I can find to support it. Taking pictures of your village or town's foods is always a welcome development.

Delicacies like ngwo-ngwo/isi ewu, Nkwobi, abacha, ji mmanu, ji agwolu agwo etc

thorpido:
You're sure the efik/ibibio don't have more varieties?
Anyway,which one you want give us chop?

.

Erik and Ibibio do not have more varieties, but they have some amazing delicacies like Edikangkong,

Michelle70:
Lala, thus thing deserve FP.
Omo see chow, one of the few reasons I wan marry igbo girl. Though I still believe calabar has more varieties
Btw, that Banga soup is a Niger Delta food and not igbo

Banga soup is actually Igbo.

We call it ofe akwu traditionally.

Traditional names help to confirm the origins of cuisines.

Maybe Niger Delta people also have their own variety of ofe akwu. But it must have a full local name to enhance the claim

rippa:
If APC fields Amechi, PDP will fields Wike.
It will be war between two gladiators and Wike will definitely carry the day

,

Wike will not be fielded. He has no claim to it. He has already declared he is not Igbo, so under what bases will he seek nomination and win it?

Wike only has the SS card to play, but that will not be strong enough, owing to the fact that GEJ was the president, just a few years ago

Michelle70:
Amaechi, Osinbajo or Tinubu will most likely defeat anyone PDP fields

Fixed

So TInubu has started consulting with Ajana in Igboland, all because he wants to win the hearts and minds of the Igbo people.

He will have to do a lot more than this though.

To start with, GEJ was there for just 5 years. And Yaradua was the president for 3 years. He refused to resign when his illness got serious. His handlers kept controlling the masquerade from behind the scenes.

When GEJ was the acting president, Yaradua was still the substantiive president, so you can't assign Yaradua's tenure to GEJ.

Since 1999 the south has held the executive power for 13 years, while by 2023 the north will hold it for 11 years.

Unfortunately for the north, Nigeria did not come into existence in 1999. Nigeria became independent in 1960, and the north has held the executive power for the vast majority of the period till present date.

In fact, the SS still needs 3 years to catch up with the Yorubas in the present dispensation, so the SS has a strong argument to make to be recognized as the second most disadvantaged region in the south vis-a-vis the presidency.

SATANICALLY:
This is too bad!

As revealed by Ngozi

DSS' Ngozi Kenneth at it again.

DSS now has their own version of Igbo girls and UGM

DSS has also produced cannibals, all in a bid to blackmail the SE. It ain't gonna work

IGBOSON1:
So how come Zik and Balewa, that served at the same time, are listed together? Or is this just an attempt to add more Igbo names to the list?

To really determine who should be listed, the simple question to answer is this. Which of them, employed the national ministers

DubaiLandLord:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-wtbXQ1WVQ

With the way Ibos do wail about GMB interview, I can't believe they also elected a person as dull as Kalu not just as a Governor but also as a Senator.

That explains why he is in Buhari's APC.

A party for and of terrorists and illiterates.

Musrataman:
Don't forget south south can never have alliance with the south east, anyone you hear mentioning south east and south south you guilty conscience don deyshould know exactly who they are

Guilty conscience don dey worry this one.

I see you are trying desperately to hide the northern and SW conspiracy to undermine a SS president.

mrvitalis:
Lmao oga Amandabo is just compound head ...let him call himself Amayanabo lets see

Amayanabo>amadabo >senibo that's the ranking sir

I'm not arguing with the meaning of the word AMADABO.

I'm just saying that he is sending confusing signals by using PALACE to denote his official residence

mrvitalis:
That's an amadabo not Amayanabo it's shows they are still loyal to the Amayanabo of bonny

Come back when their is an Amayanabo of finima

Amadabo is equivalent to what we call Nze in Igbo land

so how come they refer to his residence as PALACE. Only kings and queens live in palaces

DubaiLandLord:
Dele Momodu is not a Yoruba man.

Very possible.

This may sound silly to idiots.

But people like Dele Momodu and Akeredolu are the sort of SWners that SE and SS people are more likely to vote for, if not for the current push to elect a president of Igbo extraction.

oyatz:
You don't understand how elections are won and lost.

Have you for once sat down to ask who will be the PDP and APC agents in your polling unit?

Do you know how many registered voters are in your polling units, where is the collation centre for your ward? How many votes is your party expecting in your ward?


Your participation and involvement in the electoral process is too superficial. Real politicians are doing their homeworks.

Tinubu did his homework in the Edo state gubernatorial election, but his candidate still lost. What does that tell you?

The electorates are still massively important in any elective process. Of course, everyone knows that other entities have their own relevance also

seunmsg:
Yes o. We need the south south to pay us back for the following good deeds:

1. For championing the passage of the Onshore/Offshore dichotomy bill. Thanks to Tinubu who led the struggle at the Nigeria governors forum.

2. For the nomination of Goodluck Jonathan as vice presidential candidate of PDP in 2007. Obasanjo, we thank you.

3. For leading the struggle for the confirmation of Goodluck Jonathan as Acting president at a time when Igbo leaders like Ogbulafor were strongly against him. Again we thank the south west media, Save Nigeria Group led by Tunde Bakare and and civil societies, Olusegun Obasanjo and other Yoruba leaders that fought the battle for GEJ.

4. For voting massively to elect Goodluck Jonathan in 2011 after agreeing to serve for only one term.


We hope the people of south south have not forgotten the above good deeds. When it is time, we expect them to pay us back accordingly.

you guys and your lies.

More Igbos fought to ensure Jonathan was declared the president. No Yoruba person, dead or alive, fought as hard as Dr. Akunyili or Ojo Maduekwe who were even serving ministers.

Mention one Yoruba minister during the Yaradua era who fought as hard as the Igbo duo, to ensure GEJ was enthroned.

Also in 2011, Yorubas did not vote for GEJ massively. Up until a few weeks before that election, Yorubas were campaigning for another Fulani man, the former EFCC boss. It was when Tinubu saw the handwriting on the wall that he started talking about supporting GEJ.
Lagos was won by PDP because of the population of Igbos and other southerners in Lagos. A Yoruba state even voted for Nuhu Ribadu.

Now in 2015 Yorubas showed their true colours, joined the Fulanis in rubbishing their fellow southerner. It was Yorubas that started labelling GEJ a buffoon and incompetent. The records are there. It was Yorubas that threatened Igbo with drowning in the lagoon, all because Igbos at that time, supported GEJ's PDP.

Today, the mastermind of that anti-GEJ move, now wants to be elected the president of Nigeria. We will wait and see what the response from the SS and SE will be

DubaiLandLord:
Why do you say Kingsley Muoghalu is better than the lik s of Yemi Osinbajo and Adesina? I'm sure have valid reasons which I will love to know

Wetin be the special thing the man don do gan gan wey you dey sure say he is the perfect man

Don't get me wrong, Yemi Osibanjo will hopefully be an improvement on Buhari, but the fact that he is the vice president in this most disastrous of administrations, calls his judgement into question. I also know he has a legal background, which is nothing compared to Muoghalu's real world background in conflict resolution, peace-making and economic and financial wizardry needed to effectively lead a nation.

Muoghalu is also not tainted with working for this most nepotistic and corrupt government. Muoghalu is much more likely to call a spade a spade, unlike Osibanjo who is comfortable serving in a devilish government, even though he himself might be a decent man.

Kingsley Muoghalu is far above Peter Obi, Yemi Osibanjo, Bola Tinubu, Pius Anyim, AfDB's Adesina all put together.

The only people that may mount a worthy challenge to Muoghalu in terms of preparedness for the presidential office will be people like Charles Soludo, Festus Odimegwu, Pat Utomi, Wole Soyinka.

Of course, Pat Utomi and Wole Soyinka scaled down the ladder a little bit, as a result of their 2015 support for the current Fulani terrorist that is governing and terrorising Nigeria.

Divaco:
Where is he from by the way

He is from Nnewi

That's what happens when the APC and Fulani-run party takes over ones state.

OderaOdesigo:
OfoIgbo you are daft and it is a shame that you think everybody else on nairaland is daft.

When you people started with your UGM we all warned and begged that you should call your boys to order but you refused to listen.

The politicians and traditional rulers, instead of saying no to the IPOB/UGM goons were encouraging and playing popularity contests so that IPOB people will like them.

Today, the fire that all of you lit has become a huge inferno and by the way it has not started burning properly yet. By the time it fully starts to burn, none of you and your fathers’ houses will be safe. Just like the people of the northeast were petting Boko Haram on the head until it became a huge monster that has now consumed them so will it be when the violence that you southeast people cultivated becomes serious.

The bolded is the proof I need to show that Buhari's hand is in the current violence and cannibalism going on in the SE.

That's why the international community has not declared IPOB a terrorist group. They know the Fulani-controlled security forces are solely responsible for the mayhem

AmazingELixir:



See one of dem carnibal here ooo

Sorry oh. I'm not Yoruba

Be patient Imo people.

Buhari's murderous government will leave the scene in less than two years time

The APC and Fulani-controlled security forces, who are obviously responsible for these acts of terrorism, cannibalism and murder, will loose their main sponsor in government

Eastlink:
Here's GI Jones review of the book The Small Brave City-State: A History of Nembe-Brass in the Niger Delta. By Ebiegberi J. Alagoa. Madison: University of Wisconsin Press; Ibadan University Press, 1964. Pp. 173, ill., map

Perhaps this was Alagoa's first book. You can see from the link below. Only that you'll have to subscribe to see the whole review.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/E62B05D97555805B57AC2B2F1C1A06BF/S0001972000031892a.pdf/small_brave_citystate.pdf

Nwanne I'm just seeing this now. What a damning commentary on Alagoa's professionalism.

These criticisms of the quack Alagoa seem to be coming from multiple sources

You never know.

Nigerians may drop the python-monetary-swallowing government in preference for a bra buying government

JANK23H:
Erm....by the way,with all these outstanding findings from Crow and Co.When are you approaching the International court of whatever for settlement?

We don't have to first approach them. We just claim our territory. If you yarn shit, we just kill you guys off, and approach the ICC to declare you guys aggressive landgrabbers, with enough evidence to sink the Titanic.

Your down syndrome boyfriend Alabo7978 had better make sure not to be anywhere around Ubani at the appointed time, or we de-dick him and hang his solitary ball at the IbiniUkpabi entrance, as the Jo-men attornment for not worshipping their Aro gods for quite a while now

Alabo7978:
it seems your jaundice clears once in a while...
now you dullard, does all those words rhyme with the Igbo tongue??
answer the question!
look at Nembe, look at new calabar which is very similar to Bonny (infact the same)
look at Oru which is ijo.

now will you claim ijo too as under Igbo?
getawt..

You have now completely deviated because we have whooped you silly.

Show us evidence that the original Ubanis were Jos.
That is all you need to do.

So far multiple Igbo origin evidence have been forwarded to this group. Our bible was written with an Igbo king of Ubani, helping to request for that project. The Igbo king of Bonny did not ask for a Jo-men bible.

When you have evidence of Jo-men origins for Ubani, you can come for us to still obliterate you.

Meanwhile, you drunkard god Alagoa has been sunken by proper educated peers of his.

Alabo7978:
Smh...Somebody help this man, anyone.
Look at each top of the column and tell the names of the language written ontop.
Is it jaundice or glaucoma your problem?
LOOK AT THE TOP OF EACH ROLE;
LORD HAVE MERCY!
There are English Igbo ibane newcalabar ,,Nembe,, oru

Under English are listed (water, fire firewood etc)
Under IBO(minyi, oku, etc)
Under ebane (Mingi fene etc)
Nembe (mindi etc
Under Oru (megi etc)

THE ONES I BRACKETED ARE THE ONES ALL OF THE ROLES RHYME.

THEN LOOK AT THE NUMBERING SYSTEM (Which CLEARLY is trying to show you the DIFFERENCE) not how it correspond, IT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

open your eyes.
English(1,2,3,4,5 etc
Bonny (nge, nme, Tere, eni, sonna, suniu etc)
Igbo (otu, abo, ato, ano, ese is, asa etc)

Oboy,,
How does that above rhyme?
Me as a Nembe man we count
Nembe (kio Mai trai eni sonna sonio, sonomai
Okrika is similar too.
Calabari is the same with with Bonny.

Why are you like this?

Your dunce level is off the scale.

I have even boxed it in red, the text after the table you are talking about, so you will see that table was just created by Baikie to show the relationship between those languages.

But the table of more importance to me is the second table, which the Igbo former king of Bonny, King Pepple, supplied both the Igbo and the Ibani numbering systems.

I don't know the level of stupidity that you possess. But I will keep helping. Maybe eventually you will start worshipping us like your forebears did, before you.

Till today, you still haven't been able to show us from any pre-Nigerian document, where it is stated that the Jos were the foundation of Bonny.
So far, we have showed you multiple sources from neutral observers.

All these your gragra ends here. When the time comes, Igbos have what it takes to reclaim all our lands.

Basically Ndoki and Ngwa Igbos populated those areas. And you can do nothing about this very irrevocable fact

Alabo7978:
Ofoigbo again compromising...
That's why I said I have a soft spot for you. You have exposed the lies from your circus once more.
First you acknowledged the first snippet from crowther(that is good)
And you asked "WHO ARE THE BONNY INDIGENES AND WHAT LANGUAGE DO THEY SPEAK"
lol, is it that you consume this meth drug more than the others?
I will gladly answer your question on The Bonny indegenes and the language they speak with my first attachment which your friend Ekealterego drugfully gave me

Look at the Excerpt you sent, you didn't obliterate me with it, you obliterated your circus, LMAO. Let me also call Ezecanada who was calling God and I told him God doesn't side with liars and criminals.
Now look at the excerpt YOU YOURSELF SENT, look at the bracketed languages and the similarities.... Don't you see "Oru"(ijo) in the far right? Don't YOU know another name for ijo is Oru(known by the Europeans) LMAO
Now look at the 3rd screenshot I sent you, doesn't it tally with baikie's Language collection??
God hasn't even started exposing you, this is meth exposing before God himself will do the final exposure.

Nnaa your illiteracy knows no bounds. The bit you bracketed was just a comparison of various languages, showing how related they are to the Igbo language. It has nothing to do with the languages spoken in Ubani. The first attachment contains a snippet in the same book by Dr. Baikie, alleging that there are commonalities among those languages and Igbo. So stop making a fool of yourself in this regard.

I have resent that attachment again, please spend a few seconds to read the message inbetween the tables. You will notice that the second table, contains the numbering system of both Igbo and Ibani, both of which were supplied the the Igbo ex-king of Ubani, King Pepple.

The whole thread has really been about who the original Bonny people are. And it has been severally proven, from documents put together by neutral observers, that the original founders of Ubani were Igbos. You cannot destroy this point. Alagoa and Fombo cannot destroy this point.

Fejoku:
Below is another excerpt from Major Aurthur Glyn Leonard of the British Army published in 1906. These were his findings on the origin of Bonny people.

Thank you for this.

In fact a number of earlier explorers and traders had already established the fact that Igboland was the origin point of the Ubanis.

John Adams in the 1820s, Captain Crow's memoir which was compiled from 1790 to the 1820s, but published in 1830. Dr. Baikie in the 1850s.

So the Jos have no basis to argue. Alabo7978 their local itibolibo is going nowhere

Alabo7978:
Ode said "Dr baikie's blow"
And do you see how you spelt Opobo by it's original name Opubo? An ijo name, and OKOLOMA the original Bonny name??
You keep Putting your comrades to shame that's why I have a soft spot for your stupidity because it puts you and your agenda including your circus in a tight corner.
well, I love Dr baikie's blow so much on the first screenshot, and on the second screenshot; choke on the ijo lingua and the Ethnic dialect under it as ascertained by every linguist and historian
#ijoid
#okoloma
#opubo
#countingsystem

Here we go again with your usual present day, meant to confuse, writeups by modern landgrabbing Jos.
The only ancient attachment you sent in, was the snippet from Ajayi Crowther. Now the obvious question will be this. Who are these Bonny indigenes? What language(s) do they speak?
Now I will obliterate your 419 stuff with references from just Baikie.

The first attachment was from the Appendix of Baikie's book. In it, the numbering system of both Ndigbo, and the Kalabari language also known as Ibani were supplied by King Pepple. You see, he didn't only supply Ibani. He gave both Ibani and Igbo.

The second attachment, also from Baikie, clearly stipulates that Bonny people claim Igbo ancestry.
Even the Ibani people, around this time, claimed to have come from Ngwa in Igboland.

You see, the above puts everything into perspective. You are going nowhere. Ubani people are really from Ndoki and Ngwa stocks in Igboland.
