SlayerForever: Okay. There are ways we can definitely work with them. However a limitation is that this already existing groups were not necessarily made to pool resources and carry out projects in this neglected communities.
I think for me we should contact those admins of those groups and tell them about our project and what and how we plan to unite with those communities let's see what they will say.
Abohboy: I can't comment on this because I don't have enough knowledge on the matter of Ijaw langauges but i'm sure that if they're considered one then there mjst be clear similarities in their languages
This is Igbo language spoken in opobo kingdom in the king's present please show me ijaw language in opobo kingdom
Ekealterego: Although this is a good plan, I suggest you could also create this in tandem with already established groups. The Igbo history since 3000 BC group or something like that on Facebook already have big followings with representatives from different Igbo groups. You can work with them with this specific goal in mind.
You don't even need to go in search of these people. Many are already there...but yeah, that's a good idea.
Yes this is good idea all we need is to reach out to the admins
Abohboy: Ijaw langauge encompasses several different reated langauges like Izon, Kalabari,Apoi etc. And you already knwo that there are people who speak these languages so stop playing games
You keep ranting nonsense oga, when ogba from bayelsa state speak , someone from kalabari or epie from igbogene in bayelsa state will not hear one word likewise okirka people.
Abohboy: I can't agree with this there were definitely and are still Ijaw speaking communities in these areas the existence of sizeable Igbo populations doesn;t discount Ijaw populations in these areas.
Does ijaw have language? Who and who speak ijaw language
BKayy: Their lies started in 1971 so it's juts 50 years old. Ubani sons and daughters served in the Government of Eastern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria prior to independence and none ever registered Ijaw as their ethnicity. Then you register your ethnicity so that due representation can be assessed
SlayerForever: Can we form an Igbo outreach group made up of proud Igbos of Nairaland that would be a vehicle for reconnecting Igbo clans across Nigeria?
Supremos has forwarded this recommendation today 7th September, 2021. I support, as I have years ago aired a similar view that a similar pan Igbo group should be set up to arrest Ohanaeze's obvious failure in connecting the Igbo nation.
This earlier move was shot down by some Ohanaeze members on Nairaland here back then. However, if I have your backing I will go ahead to create an Igbo Outreach page. What do you all think?
Ekealterego, gidgiddy, pass11, Ariani and others too numerous to mention.
My cousins are from Anambra State they still believe in Southern Unity but I have other cousins who are from Enugu and believe in Biafra it's a mix of views and opinions
BKayy: They (Ijaw) know that the more they dig into this, the more they expose themselves that's why they are quiet but Ụmụ ajọ mmụọ Like Afonjas that pushed them to this still want more disgrace on them. They want Ijaw to be exposed totally. Do you know that if Ijaws were to post any pre Nigeria documented Source, they will lose Brass because Brass people will now know that they were recognised as an Independent people, ethnicity and Country before Nigeria.
I always thank God that those history was not recorded by Igbo or Nigerian but colonial masters. Ijaw have told the lazy Nigeria medias many lies in the past but thank God for well documented history by colonial masters.we will continue to expose ijaw lies .
Abohboy: Whatever floats your boat it really doesn't concern me what your opinion is on my origin. I know who I am and I know where i'm from if I or my people weren't Igbo would all my family members be able to speak Igbo? But not Bini or Ijaw? Please my intention is simply Southern Unity and that starts with the unity of all Igbo peoples including those in Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta and Cross Rivers which is why i'm always on those threads helping to support the Igbos claiming heritage or origin in those areas. If you think i'm an enemy continue that way it doesn't stop me or my mission from being acheieved
Oga igbos don't need any southern unity, please we have past that level now.
OfoIgbo: We have shown you ancient documents by neutral observers that rightly showed that Igbos were the first settlers in UBANI, and you are here quoting something from some recent newspapers.
This is the reason why Nigeria loose bakassi to Cameroon , Nigeria was quoting newspapers as evidence while Cameroon show colonial documented evidence. Igbo history of ubani is well documented by the colonial masters.
BKayy: They are no longer Igbo. Unlike Ijaw, Bini and Yoruba that make their bad intentions about Ndigbo known on time, these half and half people seek to totally destroy and reduce Ndigbo to shreds from the inside. I know them. I know their ways and tricks.
I said it on one thread like that, that the guy is not Igbo but an agent.
BKayy: I told you that your aim with those your Aboh and Igbo threads was to get inside Ndigbo and destroy us from the inside. The process was to get some credibility from Ndigbo so that when you strike like you just did, no one will see it coming but like God had it, I was around to expose your plan on time.
Now back to the matter, can you prove that Ndigbo depended on Brass people in any form? Be it Igbo of Ubani or others (don't give me that Bonny crap). All voyages and trades were recorded by the Captains. Look for the one that will favour you and bring it out. Any recorded trade by the Portuguese and British that refutes Igboness of Ubani or potrayed the two (Igbo of Ubani and Brass) in terms where Igbo depended on Brass People. I am waiting for you

Sha I said it before that the is not Igbo, that guy is not Igbo.
Abohboy: Thank you this statement alone should put the rest of the conversation to rest, Igbos depended either on Brass or Bonny to trade with the Europeans so it's only natural that they set up base there and even tried to conquer parts of these areas so it's no surprise that Bonny and Brass both have sizeable Igbo populations
Oga stop talking nonsensical nonsense
Does this people look and speak like ijaw to you? Watch this video to the end
SlayerForever: Come and see ooo! I have just been furnished with a video from 2 or 3 months ago when Brass youths attacked their king's palace (Alfred Diete Spiff). Listen to them ooo
Abohboy: Igbos aren't trying to claim any minority groups only trying to claim other Igbo groups and frankly it is in the best interest of the izon, Isoko, Urhobo and any other Niger Deltan group to unite with the Igbo at least politically because this gives them a larger and better stance on decision making and on development. My overall view is for the whole south to unite but for that to happen we must start with the Igbos and their splinter groups.
Oga igbos don't need to unite with minorities both on politically or otherwise.
RobbStark: I have nothing to prove to people who have shown to be delusional.
That will be a waste of my prescious time.
They shud just continue disceiving themselves. It will always end in tears as always
Prepare your case well in case you want to take it to international court when the time come because you may loose kalabar and okirka people who colonial masters record and documented as originally Igbo.

POSTED INNEWS Stamp Duty: How NIPOST won the war against FIRS ― Pantami March 11, 2021 Print
FIRS generates N3bn from Stamp Duties weekly ― Nami Stamp duty By Emmanuel Elebeke The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Pantami says the Nigerian Postal Service has overcome its most difficult challenges as better days lie ahead of the agency.
The minister spoke on Thursday at the unveiling ceremony of 60th Independence Anniversary Commemorative Stamps in Abuja.
He noted that the significance of the stamps are deeply rooted in Nigeria’s national history as an independent nation.
He said that part of the major challenges that faced NIPOST was that of finance, part of which was the lost of Stamp Duty collection to the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS.
He expressed delight that the battle had finally been won by the NIPOST which to him was a major achievement for the agency.
According to him, the ministry worked very hard following several consultations with relevant stakeholders leading to the recognition of NIPOST as the official producer and collector of Stamp Duty by the Financial Act 2020.
“The stamps bring to life, our founding fathers and the roles they played birthing our independence from our colonial masters. This set of stamps illustrate the fact that we can achieve greater success, when we are united, regardless of our diverse ethno-cultural and religious differences.
‘‘The stamp had since been produced but not unveiled due to some constraints. We need to appreciate the beauty of our diversity as a country.
“Our diversity is supposed to be a source of our strength and not weakness, the source of our unity and not disunity.

‘‘We have been working on the transformation of NIPOST and a lot has been achieved. We have been battling with the issue of Stamp Duty with other government institutions and we are working on resolving it.
“For the first time, the Finance Act 2020 recognized NIPOST as the producer in Nigeria and that it should be used in authentication and validation of official documents. It is a clear indication that our efforts have yielded results
‘‘Thanked President Buhari for listening to the complaints of the Ministry and letters sent to him asking for his intervention. I Commend the National Assembly for standing with them during the struggle and giving all the necessary supports required to ensure that justice is done for NIPOST.
“I’m glad that we are here today to unveil and launch the stamp. However, the stamp has been produced since but due to some constraints we couldn’t converge here for the celebration.
“It is always better late than never, because of this we are here to celebrate and not only to celebrate but to reflect and appreciate the beauty of our diversity as a country.”
“To ensure that NIPOST generates revenue for the federal government, federal government has approved the establishment of ICT park. In the ICT park, we plan to establish ICT and NIPOST Museum that will house all our transformation history.
‘‘ICT sector pulled Nigeria from recession earlier than expected, it is the fastest growing sector of the economy. If sum up the growth rate of Agriculture and five other sectors, together growth rate was below the ICT growth rate,’’ he added.
AS part of efforts to reposition NIPOST, the minister said the ministry is at the final stage of unbundling the Post to different companies so as to enable it operate as a regulator.

‘‘I am discussing with the President on how to rehabilitate all the NIPOST Offices across the country. We are working on the document to be presented to the Federal executive Counsel, FEC to be a revenue-generating agency.
In her goodwill message, the Chairman, NIPOST Governing Board, Barr. Maimuna Abubakar said Nigeria as a country is amply blessed with historical evidence of great works of arts, cultural monuments and features that help in the transmission of cultural heritage from one generation to another.
‘‘The Postal Industry from time immemorial has fostered the use of postage stamp as a veritable medium for naturing of culture.
‘‘ Many of such have been reflected on Nigerian postal stamps, most especially in colonial and post-colonial Nigeria.
“A strong Nigeria must be a cultural Nigeria and NIPOST has a role to play in advancing this by marking events such as this one.
‘‘The importance of stamps duty cannot be overemphasised in providing information, education and revenue as well as a source of entertainment. The economic and social value of Postage Stamp cut across the young and old, as well as the rich and poor. In addition, Stamps serve as excellent gift items, memento or memorabilia.’’
Earlier in his address, the Post master General of NIPOST, Adebayo Ismail Adewusi while expressing gratitude to the minister assured that the ongoing reform in the agency would reposition NIPOST as a revenue generation organisation.
