Don't worry, Igbos have no intention of annexing Brass.

We will only be sticking with Igboland ranging from Ebonyi areas to UBANI. And from Opobo (Jaja's descendants' possession) all the way northwards to Aguleri and beyond.

DuBLINGreenb:
Congrats to BY my second state

But Bayelsa is a much smaller state than Akwa ibom, I'm pretty sure they have less to do with money than fellow Oil heavy weights like Rivers so if Akwa ibom can have ibom air why can't tiny Bayelsa with all its oil revenue have something similar even if it's a tiny Airline with just 4 planes flying to Lagos and Abuja only on weekends for a start it's something I'm sure Bayelsa can afford it.

Jestin:
So Goodluck was bearing a female name. I see why he was chicken hearted.

OfoIgbo:
If you Fulanis want, you can team up with Wike, PHIjo, Adakaboro8 and others, Biafrans know themselves.

If you want PHIjo and Adakaboro8's land for RUGA, we will not complain. We will leave the both groups to fight it out, with not one single concern from the Igbos.

iammo:
Simple question.. Reno Omokirikiri when are you coming home, yet he started insulting Buhari and throwing gutter talk, i still wonder why a Dr like Jonathan surrendered himself with people like omokirikiri over tribal sentiments of being ijaw like him

Ijaw owned port my foot. In Alagoa’s expansionist book I guess. I asked you to show us Kenneth’s Dike’s Ijaw lecturer and you couldn’t defend your claims.

You are now making another spurious claim to the ownership of Bonny and Nembe as Ijaw ports. Please can you show us any historical document from 1700 to 1950 where these afformentioned areas where called Ijaw port? Bonny for one had their own distinct identity which was globally recognized. Bonny were known as Bonny, Obani or Okoloma. Nembe was known as Brass or Nembe despite the mass encroachment by Ijaw migrants. The European recoreded the Ijaws and never mixed both. And there was never a time Bonny and Nembe were know as Ijaws until the coming of Ijaw landgrabbers from Delta/Bayelsa.

The only thing we knew about Ijaws in Bonny were that they came as slaves and canoe workers. And as time went on populated Bonny with their hungry population from Bayelsa/Delta who needed other staple food other than fish for survival.

Ekealterego:
Oga, so all of a sudden, they are all anonymous.. Name them an.. This is why no one takes you guys seriously.. You see how we talk with proofs, names and reference points. You cannot even name one.

Uniportadmision:
Where exactly are you from? You haven't answered my question.

There is nothing like Igbo incursion in Port Harcourt my friend, you claim this people came from Benin, so safe to say they migrated to Rivers state too? If they spoke Benin when they first landed in Rivers state, so how did they start speaking and answering Igboid names? The only logical explanation then is because they might have met the original indigenous tribes who might have corrupted their tongue. This is if we're to consider the Benin migration crap.

With this, I believe your Benin descendants are the expansionist.

There's no way a Rumuomasi man will not hear an Emuoha man before....... Therefore, they are Benin descendants... Lol what did I just read? Does this make any sense?

Where have you ever seen me claiming Ikwerre? I can claim Port Harcourt and there's nothing anyone can do about it, after all, you came from Benin while I came from Imo and we all landed in the same Port Harcourt

Oya show us what the Igbos copied from these nations you just wrote out. Boy you sound so bitter and hateful, why?

Like I've been asking you, when the whites came why was the indigenous Igboid cities not practicing Monarchical system of government? Why were dey negotiating with chiefs?
I'm asking sensible and genuine questions and you're writing dates with no actual contribution to the discussion at hand.

OH thank you for making this easy for me, Nri priest was to Igbos what the pope was to Christians? Exactly bro... But you forgot something, the pope was the King, Bishop, president of a certain country... Rome which controlled much of Europe, he had soldiers under his command throughout Europe (the Crusaders) as a priestly king. This now has been shrink to just the Vatican city which is a country of its own and for Catholic brethren alone.

So whoever calls his daughter Nnenna believes in reincarnation?
And what exactly is wrong in reincarnation? My God, I might not reply you again because you seem to lack reason! You're too irrational and emotional for my liking. It's good to engage in knowledgeable and educational arguments but you're not giving me anything in return, rather you're taking and exhausting my thought resources.
Are you are Christian? Do you know Jews and Christians believe so much in reincarnation more than your average Igbo man?
Don't you read in your Bible that Jesus Christ is the Reincarnation of the high and holy priest Melchizedek?

Never you try to distort the Igbo ways and traditions, if you lack the knowledge, go and carry out researches. It's always been known by the whole world and even the early white slave traders that the Igbo man cherishes freedom above all things, this is why they revolt whenever they feel shortchanged or degraded, they fight with their lives. The Igbo society right from time was highly DEMOCRATIC and REPUBLICAN, you can find this traits even till today, this is why they didn't believe in giving just one man or family total power, hence not practicing the monarchical system until recently when the British made it necessary for easier ruling of the people. Several foreigners have written about the early Igbos they met and there love for respect and freedom... You don't need to be reminded of the Igbo landing story, it's popular on its unique story.
I'm writing this down because future generations will read this, stop your hate filled judgment against the Igbos not like we care but for the sake of your sanity, Truth, and Educational history for the future generations who would see this.

Igbos always had a choice, has a choice and always will have choices!

Eastlink:
Please name Dike’s Ijaw lecturer?

Again, Nembe history was revised by this same Alagoa. The same way you had fifth columnists Ijaw bloods in Nembe was the same was you had fifth columnists Ijaws blood like Biriye and Fombo in Bonny, both of whom saw the opportunity to falsify Grand Bonny history. Today, the Nembe are struggling to affirm their difference from the Ijaw landgrabbers.

Eastlink:
For you to say that Ijaw and Itsekiri were the first set of Nigerian historians show how dumb your are. Have you heard about Johnson the Yoruba historian and Kenneth Dike the Igbo historian. Infact, was Dike the first Nigerian to write the history of the Niger-Delta and the rest oil rivers tribes. G.I Jones the British historian collaborated Dike’s works by widening the scope of the Niger-Delta history.

The Ijaws were unhappy with Dike’s history as it was him that reiterated the early Bonny history of migrating from Ndoki. Unlike Dike, Jones was the first to fault Alagoa’s fake history to which the scam Ijaw historian had to go back to rewrite his work, but this time coining a fake Amindokiari trash and reverse migration.

Ijaws had no history that was decent in the ears. Ijaws never had any real history else the Europeans would have talked about it in their book. It was all about barbarism and uncouthness. The European who recorded Ijaw history didn’t write anything good, except from migrating in droves from the Delta swamps to the present Rivers state. All the Ijaws did was hijack the noble histories of Nembe, Oru, Bonny and Andoni and claim them as theirs.

Ijaws had no history till the coming of Alagoa who did all he can to elevate Ijaw subhumans into something noble. It was Alagoa with no historical fact that concocted the lie that every Niger-Delta tribe to the coast is Ijaw.

Ekealterego:
Name the first set of Nigerian historians.. Half education is really bad I swear! Name the first books.

Ekealterego:
Okay, you do not need documented history with facts, what you need is IYC poorly scripted and factless lies and fictions... Thanks but no thanks.. We will expose your folly... You guys do not know whom you are dealing with.

It is just that we do not have the time for you people yet.. There are mountains of facts.. This is just a tip of the iceberg.. By the time we are done with these facts, you will realise that Ijaw only got six and half LGAs, you will learn to stay within your boundaries.

Uniportadmision:
I saw this since yesterday and I have been contemplating if to reply you or not, why?
Because you sound so hateful, bitter, unintelligent, uninformed, dishonest and oblivious of your immediate environment.

Now let me ask you, where exactly are you from? State and tribe? What level of research have you carried out about the southern tribes?
Igbo had no kings? Partly true but we know they had priestly kings or leader which they referred to as Ezenmuo, with actual real kingdoms of which the oldest in Nigeria happen to be the Nri kingdom in Igboland.

Igbo had no king and the rest of the Igboid southern groups had? Don't make me laugh.

Do you know how the name Ikwerre was gotten? When the whites first came to Port Harcourt and wanted to acquire bases who did they meet? Did they meet a king or council of elders? Answer this shamelessly!

They met with the Ndiwe Ali (chiefs) and when the question was asked, do you accept to give us this property? And they said "anyi kwerre" this highlited word was used very often and therefore was used to address this new people by the whites.

Reincarnation, really? What dumber excuse can you give? Give me an example of a tribe in the world that doesn't believe in reincarnation. Believing in reincarnation is a personal thing, not even my parents can tell me to believe in it if I don't fancy such a concept.

Give an Example of a culture the Igbos borrowed or remain foolishly silent!

What do you know about Port Harcourt mugu?
My great grandfather already had buildings in Diobu during his time, most of his friends family then (early settlers) are now referred to as the ikwerre. I love Imo and will forever claim to be Imo.

Who exactly do you think is indigenous to Port Harcourt? What do you know about the complexity of the ikwerre dialect in Rivers state? A Rumuomasi man would easily understand an Igbo man before an Emuoha man who is also ikwerre.

What is your tribe I ask again?
Engage me with facts and not based on your pathetic and hate filled emotions.

Uniportadmision:
Thanks for the correction thought I saw mbaise. However, Umuahia is still an Igbo tribe with its own distinct dialect. Even a toddler would know there's no connection between the Umuahia people and the Fulani they host historically, no resemblance in body features, art, music, culture, language, norms and traditions, gods they worship etc even though they stay in the same land, can you say the same for the so-called original Igbos and the also so-called Igboid southern tribes? They share the same religious beliefs, same market days, same music, art, language, gods, same names etc, we can't just push all this away because of a copied system of rule. Think brother, think!

Ekealterego:
I have Engenni inlaws.. Stop parroting nonsense... Engenni people are more related to Edo people than Ijaw. Their language is like Urhobo.. They are not Ijaws.. No real Engenni man will tell you they are Ijaws.. Their language is not anywhere close to Ijaws.

fitzmayowa:
So because he refused to accept Ruga the punishment is the destruction of lives and properties right I wonder how these set of clueless people ever made it to power....

Uniportadmision:
See question... What sense are you trying to make here?

Is Rivers a tribe? I be born and bred Port Harcourt boy. Did I claim ikwerre? I can claim Rivers or Port Harcourt because they're not tribes.

So wetn concern fulani, indigenous and Umuahia? Mind you Umuahia is a very big tribe in Imo state with their own dialect.

Uniportadmision:
Oga who is a Rivers person then? Since everyone at a point in time migrated. You migrated in 1650 and I migrated in 2021, we all came from somewhere, once I'm able to get a land as you did or do, we can all claim Rivers.

Igboid:
Where in Oyigbo are these indigenous Ogoni and Ijaws located?

sageb:
there is a version that said it was owned by Andoni.
please drop the true story here.

Uniportadmision:
So the ikwerres and the rest of the Igbo speaking groups flooding Rivers state that came from Benin nkor?

Let's agree the Benin claim is true, Obigbo people came from Abia while others came from Benin, so why do you sound like one group is more Rivers or Niger Deltan than the other? They're all Rivers people my brother, this hate will only consume you lots

Preator:
My apologies then. I thought the comments were personal to me.

It is a pity though they way things are. Fuel subsidies are quite bad, but what is worse is the need to transport our crude all the way to Europe to refine at commercial rate before bringing it back to Nigeria.

Preator:
So the operational cost was not factored inside the $40 dollars before? So if you take a bowl of garri to market to sell at N500, and you were able to sell at N700, your operational cost increases automatically?

By the way, the price they sell fuel has no impact on me. And your words shows you are the bastard.

Uniportadmision:
This is absolutely disgusting and can only be caused by hate, you mean Obigbo (heart of Igbo) aka oyigbo doesn't speak Igbo? Like wtf am I seeing? What exactly do they speak?
