The young Igbos online just discovered Bonny and Opobo!

9Pluto:
Ijaws are obviously later migrants to the delta who are emboldened by their success in absorbing/eliminating other tribes they met on ground.

Ask your ijaw friends why has it become almost impossible for them to provide a 19th century document Bonny people claim an Ijaw descent? Why?

You don't seems to understand the real meaning of ethnic Identities.


Ethnic Identities= who we say we are!



It doesn't matter who a British slave raider said their great-grandfathers were or even who their grandparents said they were but how the people see themselves NOW.


Ethnic Identity is largely a self-identity.

[quote author=Investigative post=108482317][/quote]What you posted talked about the activities of Ijaw sea pirates and NOT the ancenstral histories of the Ijaw people.

Someone in 2096 reading a 2010 Newspaper article about the criminal activities of fulani Herdsmen won't be reading a documentary history of the Fulanis.

Many young igbo irredentists inspired by the IPOB agitations for Republic of Biafra are trying to re-define the ethnic identities of many places along the southern coast on social media.



However, one major fact they forget to acknowledge is the PEOPLE concerned.


Do Bonny and Opobo peoples see themselves as Igbos in 2021?


You can NOT tell or know the history of a people more than the peoples themselves.

BKayy:
Proved by the Slave-Ship captains, and British people that based at Bonny in 17,18 and 19th century

What you posted described the activities of a group of Ijaw sea pirates and nothing about the ancestral history and origin of the Ijaw people.

Investigative:
ijawa are immigrants that recently migrated to Nigeria
I see no reason to argue with them
When they claim every indigenous people they met on ground are ijaw
Is the very laughable

Apart from your personal opinions, you didn't provide any documentary evidence that support this assertion that Ijaws recently migrated to Nigeria.





You can't know the history of a people more than the people.

Investigative:
Why should Bonny Call a bird igbo name and the same time claim otherwise

A word can mean different things in different languages e.g Obi (Igbo)= Heart.

Obi (Yor)= Parents

KoshCAD:
Okay.

Anything else to say mr OSU?

Stop embarrassing Enugu, the city where everyone is a self-made Billionaire without help from the Federal Government.

Are you trying to say that there are brown roofs in Enugu too?













The most resilient City in Nigeria can't have brown roofs.

Nigerians must never make the mistake of voting in another calamity in the person of BAT to pilot the affairs of this great Nation....


In senior Writer's voice:We need a Young and Visionary Leader....

Campaigning against a particular citizen is a waste of time and dissipation of energy.


It's better to campaign for the candidate you think can solve the problems in Nigeria.

deukpai:
If God keep you and I alive till 2023. I will love to bet everything I have with you that BAT will never be a president of Nigeria come 2023.

The issue is not about Tinubu winning or not but promoting democratic culture by not abrograting the right of citizen Tinubu to run for the highest office in his country.

The Ohaneze secretary goofed by writing this open letter to Tinubu. He didn't think deeply about the anticipated and unanticipated consequences of such actions

nisai:
Why is no one advising Atiku not to contest?

Cc: AniOmaa, Laggafin, AsampeteNnwaanyi, PrinceOfLagos, gidgiddy and mrvitalis should answer this question sir.

Laggafin:
Those ones ain't factors cuz power must return to the South and the only person who is looking like a real factor in de south come 2023 is Tinubu.. that's why he was singled out and given a piece of good advice

Make it make sense.



Atiku, Saraki, Tambuwal and Kwankwanso are not Southerners and are working on how to get power but you are saying there are not factors that will determine power shifting to the South

AsampeteNwaanyi:

Nairaland has helped me in many ways and it hurts to see it this way.

Mr Seen, this is one of the monikers that you need to ban and if possible report to the Government for promoting dangerous tribalism on this forum.

Tomek09:
Tribalism and bigotry is the reason Nairaland is having traffic in some posts. Everyone would like to protect the image of his/her tribe. Too bad actually.

It is also the reason why Nairaland has failed to grow into a global brand.

Kuriosmynd:
Okay nice input....But does payment have to be involved? imagined a poor girl with unwanted pregnancy..does she have to pay?

Then the question is not about the rightness or the wrongness.
Extramarital affairs isn't right by our standard, but people do it, fornication religion say isn't right, but people do it everyday. Let's spare the moral hullabaloos and the phariseesm and lets talk practical. Perhaps based on experience.

Most ladies carrying unwanted pregnancies are still in contact with the guy who impregnated them and they still have intercourse together hoping the guy will change his mind.

Then some very weird ones continue to sleep with alternative boyfriends who may be deceiving them that he will marry them after they deliver.

Laggafin:
Gbamsolutely... Nna mehn u have spoken like Agu and have roared like a Tiger.. .. will the Oda okpolo eye lion in bourdillon listen ?

Why is the Ohaneze scribe not writing a similar letter to Atiku, Saraki and Tambuwal to back out of the presidential race in order to preserve Nigeria's unity?

ultiabaz36:
Okay ngbayen 'Some'... First class my foot... Which of Nigeria politician is a first class holder apart from newly elected Charles Soludo?

Gov Nasir El-Rufai and I think Ex-Gov T.A Orji of Abia State

Femi8586:
You didn't read.. You just jump to conclusion.

She wasn't denied access to her kids. She has access to come and see them but she refused to do so since about 2years ago.

She wants to claim all the kids, deny FFK access to them and also demand 10million naira monthly upkeep from FFK.

Despite being cought sleeping with a Naval Officer in an Abuja Hotel and presently has no means of livelihood.


AniOoma will be bringing tribalism into a marital crisis without knowing the details.

bepositive11:
Go and learn about what happened to his last two wives

BTW, do you have a mother? How would you feel is your father took your mother away from you as a child? You clearly lack empathy

No one can replace a person's mother

You don't understand the matter at all.

1) Precious Chikwendu was caught sleeping with a Naval Officer in a hotel in Abuja which caused tension in her marriage.
2) Precious had a relapse of her mental illness

3) She separated from her 'husband' posted a video she recorded in their home showing the couple in hot arguments.


4) She started posting videos on social media to paint FFK as a very bad man e.g accusing him of

*sleeping with the housemaid
* Hating Igbos
* Being impotent
* Inability to take care of the children e.g saying one of them had COVID-19 and one has a wound on the forehead
* Preventing her from seeing the children

AmazingELixir:
There is no iota of sense in your post...this post of your is an embarrassment.

The guy is correct.

Precious shouldn't have started blackmailing FFK on social media over marital issues and not expect this kind of emotional breakdown.


She should have gone to respected Men of God, Traditional Rulers and political leaders to intervene and help to resolve the crisis.

Bellerophon:
Your raging insanity like an inferno at the apogee of conflagration has blinded your visuals to conjuring specious and facile imagination that in no way share any similarity with my opinion as rendered! Where and when did I delegitimize her rights to custody whether partial or full of her children? Only in your imaginary trance of course! Unlike you, with the shame of a distended stomach protruded and bloated on ethnic bigotry, I am a respecter of the fundamental rights of persons and humans as acceptable by universal standards, norms and conventions, human dignity is sacrosanct and not subject to discrimination!

Now you foolish son of a reprobate mind, bantering words with a derailed mind is as vain as the effort of filling a basket with water! Your mind is full of holes and crevices and sadly beyond mending! My comment was to explain the futility of bringing God into a domestic dispute between two irresponsible adults when there are more pressing issues like children breathing their last because they don’t have food to eat or access to clean water! You are a waste of Human Resources if you think the reception hall in heaven has a space in its docket for silly petitions common sense and positive law can solve! Daft punk lol!

Hmm. . .hammer567 don buy market, why he con dey look for trouble from a Professor of English

OJUKWU MARRIED BIANCA, HIS TRIBE GIRL.


NED NWOKO MARRIED REGINA, HIS TRIBE GIRL


FFK SUPPOSE GO MARRY ONE RAMATU FOR IBADAN OR ILE IFE.



THIS IS THE PROBLEM.

What about the countless numbers of people who marry from their tribes and still end up in divorce?

hammer567:
FFK AS A MAN SLEEPING WITH SMALL GIRLS, HAVE NO RIGHT TO SEPARATE A MOTHER FROM HER CHILDREN.


ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT AND FFK KNOWS THAT VERY WELL, AS ONE THAT READ LAW IN UNITED KINGDOM.


SO ALL THIS TRASH YOUR WRTING IS SITUABLE FOR A CLAN MEETING ADVICE TO YORUBA WOMEN, NOT AN IGBO WOMAN.


YOU CANNOT APPLY YORUBA CULTURE TO AN IGBO WOMAN, THAT IS NON-APPLICABLE.


FFK SHOULD ALLOW HER SPEND TIME WITH HER CHILDREN.

You don't bother to hear from the man but just introducing unnecessary tribalism.




My candid advice : Precious should make peace with FFK and stop bringing her marital problems to social media because no marital crisis has ever been solved by fighting the father of your children on social media.

Bennysam:
She should stop disturbing people, stop beating around the bush. This is why things is not going normal in Nigeria because people like you will leave whom to blame and be blaming another person

Is Precious Chukwendu looking for who the people should blame or getting custody of her children?


Between the courts and social media, which one is most suitable to grant her request?

hammer567:
IF HER PARENTS HAD WARNED HER AT THE TIME, SHE WONT LISTEN.



NOW, SEE AS SHE THEY DISTURB THE WHOLE NATION.




IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HER NOW, IT IS IGBO PEOPLE THAT WILL BE UP IN ARMS.



TRIBE IS VERY IMPORTANT IN MARRIAGE AND ALWAYS MARRY FROM YOUR TRIBE.

This has nothing to do with tribe sir.


Since time immemorial,men and women have been marrying outside their tribes.

In fact, new tribes emerge from inter-tribal marriages of previous tribes to form new ones.




There are so many people who marry within their tribes that end up killing each other.

IDENNAA:
First of all , Precious Chikwendu is a shameless gold digger and she got what she deserves, but I feel deeply pained because of the innocent babies. As for FFK , that one is cursed !!

Did you bother to hear from the other side?

Was she prevented from seeing the children and if yes,why not approach the courts instead of social media?

TinubuGoQuench:
Why did this beautiful girl married that useless amala, ewedu and gbegiri Afonja goat called Fani kayode?

May the gods of Erhiemokwokwarien strike your useless head to pieces if you quote me to say rubbish!

it's better to encourage those who can do it than to que behind unfit candidate who doesn't mean well for the people.

The job of a president is not for candidates that are unready or unprepare. It's need personal convictions of the aspirants.




The electorates will chose one out of the people who CONTEST for the post and not among those sitting down in their houses.

YES.
