Left , right, everybody's bashing the Ijaws. No wam o! Well it's better than when everybody likes you because you bend your ass on a daily for them. I'm Ijaw and a proud one at that from Yenagoa, Zarama and Epie to be precise. You can all bash and hate all you want but we move.

Egberi fa oo!!

I am Ijaw from Rivers. I believe everybody should answer their papa name!

We've carried the burn of the entire region for to long and at a great cost.

Let others put some work. Enough of this vulture attitude by man of our neighbours.

Akuwa ma fiete!
Egberi fa oo!
Asawana!!!!!!!

Jahwinaboy:
We can always settle our differences here within the Niger Delta. Naturally, land disputes cuts across all regions, countries. We have a more pressing issue at hand. Ikwerres and Abonnema + other riverine areas have mutual understanding

We don't have to let any group undermine us! They should fight for themselves. Each group for themselves, Ijaw people for themselves.

I am sick and tired of all these groups in Rivers trying to undermine Rivers Ijaw. We can't beg for what is rightfully ours.

hotseat:
The Ijaws are a domineering, cantankerous, violent, aggressive, antisocial, set of people.

Ever had an encounter with them?

The first thing that comes from their mouth is "I be Ijaw o"; a subtle way of intimidating their neighbours.

In many parts of Warri and environs landlords are scared of accepting them as tenants.

They are the Foolanidiots of the Niger Delta.


Let every tribe protect themselves.


Ijaw people, abeg make una dey una dey.
.

Thank you!
What more can we ask for?
Everybody dey your dey

Norwichsailor:
From which statistics?
The one you see in your head when you drink ogogoro?
Lazy ijaw man, all you Know is our oyel

At least the 'lazy Ijaw man' fights for what rightfully belongs to him. It was the Ijaw and Ogoni people's fight that brought the Niger Delta ministry and NDDC you Ibibio and Annang want to drain.


The difference between "soft work" and "hardwork" is that the truckpusher despite his longer hours and strength cannot afford the luxuries a "softworker" like Abdulsamad Rabiu would afford.

I don't think el-Rufai will die a peaceful death. He has caused so much pain an misery. I feel very sorry for his descendants.

Norwichsailor:
Wail all you want.
Ibeno is ibibio
Akwa Ibom is the highest oil producing state.
Akpabio and Akwa ibomites run nddc, you can take sniper or jump off any of the fly overs wike is constructing

Like who cares?

I enjoy my life and will never have a reason to commit suicide.

Ijaw nation is by far the largest oil producer.

If you don't life you can go drown yourself in Ibeno beach

Norwichsailor:
In your imagination, when people hear Akwa Ibom, what they know is ibibio, Annang and Oro, so ijaws being in Akwa ibom is just fiction

They've been seeing Ibibio/Annang house boys, house girls, drivers, gatemen and prostitutes so that is why they are not familiar with other ethnic groups in the state.

Thanks to the Ijaws in Akwa Ibom the state's image changed from a primary supplier of domestic servants to an oil producing state.

When the Akwa Ibom Ijaw were agitating alongside their kinfolk from other states you Ibibios and Annang used the opportunity to demand for oil fields that were in Rivers state. When they were agitating with their brothers for greater development that led to the formation of NDDC and Niger Delta ministry you Ibibio and Annang were no where to be found. The few that visible were visible were doing their traditional boi boi work for the oppressors. Now food don done you want to be associated with oil production.

When this Sowore of a man get wise?

Luckydubby7:
Good to hear this
Nobody is above the law.

No law is against that if he didn't rape her or abuse his position as her boss.

Whatever way one wants to look at it this is immoral.

pazienza:
Nembe don't like Izon and detest the Ijaw tag. They only accept it when it comes to national politics for the sake of national cake. The Epie/Atissa reject Izon people and your Ijaw Franchise.
You are fighting with Itsekiri for Warri, fighting with Edos for Olodiama, fighting with Ibibios for Ibeno and Eastern Obolo after you capitalized on the Ibibio-Annang-Efik not so strong unity to appropriate Andoni from old South Eastern state ( old name for old Cross River state) into Your Ijaw Franchise immediate post civil war.
No body likes Izon. You are trouble. Fighting with everyone. Pray Nigeria doesn't disintegrate soon. Because the way you will be rushed from all sides like a cockroach in midst of Chickens will be interesting to watch.

Ndi oshimoshi!

Ignorant Igbos was this the advise you gave Obasanjo that made him lose Bakassi to Cameroon. Even if the world goes against the Ijaws they will be back stronger. Look at the Jews and understand that you can't be Ijaw and be destroyed. We stand on truth , Justice and equity, that those we helped in trouble decided to bite on the fingers that fed them is not our loss. Malu ordered Odi Zaki-Ibiam experienced same. Our GOD no dey carry last.

JubrilBuhari:
Ijaw didn't ask for presidency?

I am sure you resides in creek with no power let alone TV to watch news.
At the dawn of Obasanjo's administration, South South group led by Ijaw cried severally with the point that they have never been in the affairs of Nigeria.

After series of cries, kneeling and begging Igbo stakeholders in PDP adviced Obasanjo to consider your Ijaw crying wretched lots.
That's how GEJ was finally picked to be Yaradua's vice.

This shows how empty drunk your people are.
People that tagged themselves criminals so to accept amnesty stipends from oil flowing from your land.

How can someone that agreed amnesty program be calling others criminal? Do you even know what amnesty means? By law every Ijawman is a pardoned convicted criminal.

Pardoned bye who? Those were terms of cessation of hostilities. By law the Nigerian state encroached into private property.The Nigerian state is the thief who received pardon not the other way round Germany who operated similar rules against the Jews not even on the scale the Nigerian state did have been paying the Jewish people so sit your poorly educated arse somewhere because you don't know what will hit Nigeria. By law the entire Fulani ethnic group are free roaming criminals to be prosecuted by the ICC.
The average Nigerian is unbelievably stupid this is why civil groups like the Ijaw have a hard time with you scoundrels. Nigeria is now a sponsor of terror given the current President is from a terrorist enclave. Your numbness from Northern Nigeria seems to be outdoing the Igbos I was addressing over here. Stick to subject matters you understand or be quiet and learn. Ijaws I repeat never asked for presidency but resource control so Nigeria can grow at the pace she grew in the 50s and 60s because of regional ingenuity and innovation. We didn't need Jonathan in a 2nd time hence no push back.The position is as useless as the Country. A dysfunctional Country on life support by several donors give me a break Jubril.

Bonesking:
Pazienza you are going far! Maybe we should begin to list the Ijaw lords. As a matter of fact it beats my imagination that Igbos founded, ruled and still ruling the so-called Ijaws in their now stolen lands.

Abeg see the Igbo people who are the real founders and Kings of the areas Ijaws now lay claim to.

1. Bonny

1. Okpara Ndoli — Founder
2. Alagbara (Alagbarinye)
3. King Pepple (Gotten from the name Pepper)
4. Chief Madu
5. Oko Jumbo

Till date the Igbo lineage is still ruling Bonny

2. Kalabari

1. King Amachree (Amakiri) — Till now the Igbo lineage is still ruling Kalabari
2. Abam lineage of Buguma — Asari and Hilda Dokubo ancestors. Hilda Dokubo speaks Igbo fluently.

3. Okrika
Abam lineage still sits on the Okrika throne
Virtually the bulk of Okrika Ama have Igbo origin

4. Opobo
This place is a no go area. Jaja’s heir will continue to promote the Igbo connection.

5. Nembe
Aboh footprints is all over Nembe. Before Ijaws went on their identity changing campaign, Igbo was the 2nd language spoken here. Even till now, Aboh kinship with Nembe kings materializes with their Igbo middle names. Aboh Eke totem is still preserved in Nembe till date.

All the above places were under the old eastern region. Ijaw historians call them eastern Ijaws and till date have strong blood links with Ndigbo.

Ijawcitizen, PHson, Bishop etc hope you can now see the real owners (Igbos lords) and the real slaves (Izon serfs).

Okpara is one of the oldest undiluted ancient words it is a prayer not an Igbo word. I have pointed out even in recent times Ijaw words the Igbo are actively trying to steal last last na body go tell una. The called Eastern Ijaws not because of Igbos but based on geography.
Alagbara clear Ijaw word Alabara . Amakiri if only you knew what it meant. The Asari you claimed have several occasions referred to Igbos as slaves of the Ijaw. I am yet to see people as shameless and criminal as the Igbo who boast on exchange their children into slavery for mirrors and snuff.
Useless Igbo idiots will claim Ijaws are only in Bayelsa , yet Nembe is Igboland. You claim Alagoa is changing Ijaw history yet the same Alagoa is from Nembe you claim Igbo is a 2nd language or they are Igbo. Igbo is a useless language only useful to security agencies trying to drug mules and drug peddlers. There's no financial, socio-cultural or historical benefits to the language.

Opobo an island established by the collaborative efforts of different Ijaw communities and is a pride to the Ijaw nation, and not the product of vile in-breeding and irresponsible overpopulation by uncontrolled births as is common to Igbos.
"Hilda Dokubo speaks Igbo fluently", Asari Dokubo speaks Arabic fluently so he is now Arabic? Dumb asses like their leader. Nnamdi Azikiwe speaks Hausa fluently he must be Hausa,Zack Orji speaks french fluently he must be French? Ignorant asses get a life and stop trying to be Ijaw we rejected your forbearers and we without hesitation do same to you Igbos who want to be the real owners of Israel and Ijaw. Take Ijaw out of the mention of your Igbo clogged ethnic group confused perpetual slaves to the Ijaw.

nku5:
Ijaws were capturing Igbo people and selling to the white man. Eventually one of the slaves became your king.

Ndi Igbo unu na saka mehn

You don't know Jaja's name, his family, and other things but you know where he came from. Pathetic pathological liars. All records except for Igbo revisionist history refer to Jaja 1st as an Ibani Chief and later one of the migrants to another Ijaw Island. Again Pepple was not from Pepper but another Ijaw word .You cultureless , ignorant Jewish wannabes actually think Pepper was European introduced hence a King was named after Pepper. Get educated and stop displaying your ignorance publicly.

pazienza:
There is no language called Ijaw Language.
Izon language is a substandard language that even Izon people have given up on for Pidgin English.
Which decimation of Igboland? Are you okay at all? Zik is greater than any Ijaw man dead or alive.

ZIK is a product of Ijaw civilisation. He was educated by Ijaws. He worked as an apprentice for an Ijaw the 1st Nigerian journalist/publisher Ernest Sise-Ikoli. If Igbos had shame they will not boast about Nigeria's 1st stowaway. The 1st Nigerian ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT Nnamdi Azikiwe. Igbos celebrate criminality and because you lacked learned people you elevated this common criminal to national prominence. If not for the death of Herbert Macaulay, and Ernest Ikoli shortly before independence Zik stood no chance. Besides while other ethnic groups voted ideologically Igbos voted solely along ethnic lines . Anytime you write your jargons you place them within mine so I will respond to you here there were NO IGBO RULERS IN IJAW TERRITORY NEITHER WILL THERE EVER BE.
Lie all you may on Nembe, Wakirike, Ogbia as usual trying to pitch other ethnic nations against the Ijaw right now we are enjoying your bromance with the Ibibio it didn't favor any of you during the war neither will it in the future. The Ijaw remain your masters and there is nothing you can do to change it.
I thought Bayelsa is the only place there are Ijaw according to you is Nembe no more in Bayelsa? Useless culture thief.

Your standards are no standards stop copying Ijaw language and culture. We lead you follow.
Now you claim igbo women were wearing chicken feathers, how foolish of you how many chicken feathers do you need to make a full clothing gear.Igbos wore only loin clothes like their kit and kin in Southern Africa. That style of dressing doesn't make Southern Africans inferior to other Africans it was best suited for their hot arid lands. In winter they had a different gear so instead of claiming what your environment never gave you instinctively stop appropriating Ijaw culture. The water and land gave us the resources to produce long yarns with or without intecate weaving. You will find some curated Ijaw clothing in pristine locations in top cities around the world (by the way not bounties of war) sit your arse somewhere and learn instead of regurgitating IPOB propaganda.
Odi was not a victim to a tussle with the Nigerian state but the cowardice of the Nigerian security apparatus who were housed by the community leader. The Nigerian officials had claimed they received a report on an attack on a police officer and were on a fact finding mission. They had arrived late and were offered shelter only for the cowards to burn the community at Night. The Ijaw took the Nigerian state head long in due time and Odi has since been rebuilt we don't cry over dead dogs named Jack like Igbo leaders we Ijaws act .
You can grandstand where your history is not known not in front of Ijaws hence your continuous attempt to reliable Ijaw sons and communities.

Mine is Radio Biafra, not because of what Nnamdi Kanu stands for, it is entertaining. You get premium display of stupidity and short sightedness.

The climax is when "dilector" talks down on his very obedient and loyal followers.

Without sentiments, Niger delta is arguably the dumbest region in Nigeria. I have never seen a region full of potentials yet highly unwise, tactically impotent. Full with people who bear European names but archaic in thinking, strategy, and objectivity.

If you feel offended, I owe you no apologies but a request that you think of strategic ways to better your people. The same old play book of gra gra and much ado has not gotten the region anywhere.

If I go full frontal on ND, this thread will burst into flames. Flames of truth anyway.

Flames of your stupidity!

Why am I not surprised you got that many likes?

..because your countrymen are just as senseless, stupid, insensitive, cowardly, myopic, greedy, shortsighted and entitled like you.

The primary problem of the Niger Delta is sharing a country with savages!

Shiver99:
Lol,you quoted me?

You can already see how Igbos have given you a ruthless dragging up and down this thread. Trust me you don't want another.

I have time on my hands these days, under normal circumstances we don't respond to the rants of you Igbos because we are patiently waiting for you to stray into Ijaw land with IPOB madness. We know how to put you in your place. 600 years and still counting of Igbos trying to be part of the Ijaw nation and your requests are being rejected over and over again, I understand how you feel.

It is a pleasure exposing you guys. You can boast in places you are not known, not before an Ijaw, especially a Rivers Ijaw.

[quote author=Bonesking post=97584802]Fraud never last. Ijaw domination of the above areas is built on fraud, that why despite your shenanigan and supplanting of Igbo presence through fake history, our identity is still growing there.

We know who began changing Bonny, Opobo, Okrika, and Ikwerre history. All the fake Wari, Perekule, and all that were fake. Igbos in those areas were both noble men and slaves. King Ndoli, Alagbarinye, Pepple, Amakiri etc were all Igbo noblemen. Yes, Ijaw fishermen came to live with them, to form a dual ethnicity to which europeans recorded.

Those who planned that hatchet job from 1950-1970 downwards know that the expiry date is around the corner.

No port was founded on Ijawland. Kalio was an Igbo of Okrika origin who interpreted for the uneducated Ikwerres. History made mention of it. [/quote


Kalio Paramount ruler of several parts of present day Rivers state go read up his family line and stop being silly. Igbos I repeat had no place in Ijaw society. Legally adopted children of different origins were raised Ijaw and died Ijaw. I repeat no Igbo had a matchbox store in Ijawland not to talk of leading stop dreaming.

pazienza:
Don't be stupid. No sane Igboman want any form of unity with Ijaw people. Only IPOB whose sanity is in question propose such absurdity. Real Igbos know we have real score to settle with Ijaws and wish to maintain strictly hostile relationship with you to ensure every iota of the score is settled, hence the clamour for independent homogeneous Igbo republic by all well breast fed Igbo sons.

Ama is Igbo. We have AmaIgbo the home town of King jaja your Igbo overload right in Igbo heartland of IMO state. We have ancient places with suffix or prefix of "Ama". EziAMA, AMAnator, AMANkanu, AMAwbia, AMAokwe, AMAifekede, AMAogwugwu, etc. They are countless.

Ijaw is not an ethnic group but rather a fraud. A franchise. There is no ethnic group called Ijaw. What you have is a group of independent people with distinct languages not even belonging in same language grouping let alone being intelligible, all lining up under the fraudulent ethnic tag of Ijaw.
The Ogbia speak an Ibibiod language, likewise Abua. Udekeme, Engenni, Epie and Attissa all spead a distinct Edoid language.
Andoni language is Ibibiod, Opobo and Bonny towns speak Igbo.
Yet all are IJAW. No relationship whatsoever except cohabitation in riverine environment. Totally distinct people as seen in languages claiming members of imaginary modern day franchise.

Is there anything like central Ijaw language? Nope. Why? Because there is nothing like Ijaw. IJAw as an ethnic group can only exist in a fraudulent country like Nigeria where things are turned upside down. When the time is ripe, a homogeneous Igbo nation will uncouple the fraud called IJAW ethnic group for what it is , and ensure the minority Izon causing all the problems are contained in Bayelsa.

As someone from a crude culture which lacks gender differentiation I can appreciate the difficulties you have understanding the nuances of the Ijaw language and people. As usual we await the decimation of Igbo land as the different ethnic nations take their place the likes of Zik handed down to you Igbo scoundrels. Igbos can never do anything where the Ijaw is.

pazienza:
What an empty post. Brass was called Brass not because the people produced Brass, lol! But because they used Brass to sundry sea water and make salt they sell. Your ignorance is beyond help.

Ndoki is Ijaws? Why not. Ijaw we all know is a franchise any group irrespective of how distinct the language is can acquire. Little wonder you eye Ndoki whose language you can't understand. Fraudulent ethnic group.
When you are done laughing like an ogogoro drinker you will come an explain to rational minds how descendants of Nwankwo Eze are Ijaw people. Ndi oshimoshi!

What has second hand clothes trade has to do with having indigenous cloth weaving industry? Are you okay at all?
Okirika wharf was where Igbo traders came to clear imported second hand clothes from Europe, what has that got to do with Ijaws? What is it to be proud about being named after second hand imported clothes, are you that low in group esteem? Why should Igbo traders name second hand clothes after our towns? So we should have as well named Stock fish after our towns and spare parts alike since we were main dealers of those products as well?

No one is claiming European imported clothes. We are saying your primitive Ijaw ancestors never evolved cloth weaving industry and couldn't have been clothed before the Europeans came. Ndiigbo had weaving industry scattered all over Igbo land. The nearest to your primitive Ijaw ancestors being those of Nwankwo Eze descendants, the people known as Ndoki today that your low esteem suffering selves are claiming.

The slave trade in Ijaw land were all headed by Igbos who lorded it over your primitive Ijaw ancestors. Oko Jumbo, Jaja Opobo, etc were all Igbo men. They were ruling over you. We also know that until Biafra war, the rulers of Buguma in Kalabari where descendants of Igbos from Abam in Abia of which Asari is direct descendant from that bloodline.
You were never equals. You were ruled by Igbos hiding behind Ijaw names even in your land.

A society cannot be advanced without a civilization. I have asked for Ijaw civilization. Where is your cloth weaving industry? Where are your metallurgy centres, where are your arts, where are your inventions? You were forced to live in the most inhospitable environment known to man, no land , living on mosquito infested waters that decimated your population with malaria ensuring you remained perpetual minorities. And when the whites arrived, the Igbos penetrated your ranks and became your overlords ruling you.

When the British desired capable hands to build, they knew your people are lazy and lacking in adequate intellect to interpret simple construction instructions. The British are suckers for efficiency and naturally chose more intelligent, hardworking and efficient Igbos, to build for them. The end result was that Igbos learnt the skills immediately and went with the white man all over Nigeria for construction works and many became rich that way, rising in rank to train their children in schools abroad and in Nigeria, while your not so smart people stayed in swamp only to wake up few years later to start blaming the Igbo for your self inflicted woes.
Was it not Alameiyseigha who spoke in 2006, about how all the jobs he gave to your Ijaw people were all sold to Igbo by your Ijaw people, because they detested hardworking and preferred free money.

Like ancestors like descendants! Maybe tomorrow, your lazy selves will also tell your children how you were a civilized people for selling your jobs to uncivilized Igbos, so that you could lazy about and harass oil companies for free money and vandalise pipelines.


Akwete is an Igbo weaving industry. Igbo clothing style was same for all rainforest dwelling Africans.
The so called traditional wear of Ijaw and indeed most tribes in Nigeria today, where all bastardized Victorian British clothes we saw the the British wearing when we met them. There is nothing traditional about them. The Igbo use to use Lion and Leopard hides for tops, since the leopards have been hunted into extinction, we chose the closest white fabric to Leopard skin which is Isiagu to represent that. This should be common sense.

How can Nembe gift what they don't have? Nembe never evolved a clothing civilization and so cannot give clothes to Ohafia people. Your delusions are incurable. Ohafia/Abam warriors rule over Ijaws. Asari DOKUBO is a descendant of one of such Igbo warriors, the Ediabali dynasty from Abam in Abia state.

You keep showing your stupidity I won't respond to stupid things. Quote Asari Dokubo for calling Igbos Ijaw slaves. I laugh in Spanish Ediabali from Abam in Abia. The warriors that could not save themselves from being commodities in several Ijaw ports. People we bought for mirrors and match boxes of Tobacco? If the value of your "warriors " was a box of tobacco that can tell you how dysfunctional Igbo society created new settlements within the territories of people who were better organized, had embassies in other Continents and they won't treat your Bleep up. The Python danced in Umuahia and there was no response. Stop making noise the track records of the Ijaw are there for everyone.
The baby factory industry didn't start today it attests to historical proof of the Igbo culture of breeding humans solely for the purpose of minuscule financial gain.
When did Igbos get involved in trade not to talk of clearing goods. You think we are talking about quota system NPA?
It took the European several hundreds of years to get access to a port in Okirika and you are imaging Igbos went to clear goods how? When?
Wakirike's geography well into 70s was inaccessible to Igbos that Rivers state has undergone several changes doesn't mean the are was a free range area for Igbos to roam.
Ndi- Igbo traditional wears were fringed loin coverings very similar to those you find in Southern Africa the difference being while the SouthernAfricans wove their clothes Ndi-Igbo relied on plantain leaves and Rafia.
Igbos barely ate meat as they believed eating meat was evil for the society. Certain segments of the Igbo franchise depended on dying relatives to supplement their dietary needs for protein. As sickly family often landed in the cooking pot. The Igbo tribe which only uses meat in the pot and takes it out to redry it for use again can not possibly hunt leopards into extinction.
The Feni which you know call isiagu is not a homage to the Leopard.

As someone from an uncultured tribe it is sacrosanct that you think Ijaw clothing are a reflection of Victorian traditions. Quite on the contrary some of our clothings and their traditional process of creation can be found among aboriginal ethnic nationalities across the Continent. Be brought of your unclothedness like the Southern Africans are and stop appropriating.
Like the prostitutes in Solomon's story because it is not your culture you could easily pass it on to the English.

The dressing of rainforest doesn't apply to Ijaws we dwell in Mashlands of the Mangrove. The dressing of people is influenced by their environment. You isiagu was made in memory of the Leopard where did white cloth come from? From the ghost of the Leopard? Leather lasts longer than Fabrics the Kaduna dye-pits,and the rich embroidered garments of Northerners attest to the industry in the North.Take an 18th century image of a Northerner and a modern one and no difference in attire. Same with the Ijaw . Only the Igbo we can't find "isi agu" nor the patterns woven by the Akuete in their dressing prior to independence because you were not permitted to wear it by the Ijaw who created the products and assigned their production as they vied into other business that were less demanding in comparison to weaving.

Ohafia which is not Abam were hunters for the Ijaws. Go learn your history and come back when you find out why the Ohafians war dance is done with skulls in their tray. They are the only Igbo clan in which men didn't have to dress or act like women to entertain the crowd.

Ijaw is a franchise the Wakrike for whatever reason decided to join. Its not an ethnic group. I still know real Wakrike people who are opposed to Ijaw association, but the political class recognise that the Franchise gives them a bigger voice in national stakes are are currently identifying with it.
Recently a group of Ekpeye youths send delegates to INC to enlist Ekpeye as a member of the Ijaw franchise, because their Edoid Engenni neighbours applied and successfully got admitted into the Ijaw with some oil pipeline protection contracts benefits for the Engenni youths, but Ekpeye political class see no use of the Ijaw Franchise and clamped down on the move. Just as some hungry Ndoki Youths connived with hungry elders to enlist Ndoki as part of the Ijaw Franchise. Of course , the Ndoki political class especially those in Abia like Aldophus Nwagbara and co saw no benefit in such move and refused to give support. Ijaw is not an ethnic group but an association.

Wakrike as far as Ndiigbo know is a distinct independent minority group made of diverse people from Ogoni, Igbo heartland, ibibiod and Izon people.who over time developed an independent distinct minority ethnicity and identity of their own. We will make sure it remains so.
That's how we view and know Wakirike.

Speaking of Okujuagu, we know the founders of Okujuagu are from Igbo land just like the founders of Ogan ama and indeed the Ogan dynasty.
Greet them for me. Once the Hausa Fulani are put out of the way, Ndiigbo will separate the chaffs from seeds in Rivers state and restore things to default settings with the Izons well and fully contained in Bayelsa where they belong, until then, Wakrike can remain a member of the fraudulent Franchise ethnicity called Ijaw.

To use Wakirike as an example on the franchise system is the poorest of all examples you could have used to buttress your opinion. I am yet to hear of any other part of the world where colonial authorities had to assign warrant chiefs because there was no traditional form of governance . The Igbo didn't found the entire Imo state, they owned hamlets in present Abia state. They share Anambra , Ebonyi and Enugu with the Igala you do not have the history of the Ijaw yet you want to be founders of lands encircled and meshed in Ijaw foot prints.
Your Country Nigeria doesn't interest Ijaw people. Igbos have been making noise about Igbo presidency since thy kingdom come. The Ijaws didn't ask for it but they got it. Ijaw people didn't agitate despite the obvious flaws that ousted Jonathan. Nigeria is a failed state, she is privileged that the Ijaw shares Passport with certain ethnicities like the Narcotic mules and baby factory industrialists (Igbo)

Okujagu is not Igbo never was and never will be. The word Okujagu has nothing to do with Igbo like I mentioned earlier Igbos keep copying Ijaw words with the hope of convincing the rest of Nigeria of a cultural or historical affiliation to the Ijaws. The only relationship Ijaws had with Igbos was one in which Igbos were acquired and sold.

Bonesking:
Pazienza you are right. Infact the Okrikans too detest the Izons and their overbearing attitude. And guess the latest development. INC members have currently being paid with amnesty money to infiltrate Bonny, Opobo, Okrika, Kalabari, Andoni groups to enforce a fraudulent Ijaw brotherhood. And this has been going on for years. Even the Ibani Egere language being sponsored in Bonny today is carried out by INC and IYC.

Stupidity and ignorance is deep in your system! We Rivers Ijaw carry Ijaw matters for our head pass even the Bayelsa people you call a bad name.

I am grateful to God you are attacking them, the will finally come to know the devils we've known in Rivers state.

Tobichimezie:
Essentially someone was right to call Ijaws homeless people, I would likened them to the Jews who had no homelands and were scattered all over Europe prior to the creation of a Jewish state from parts of Palestine territory that were partitioned and calved out... but unfortunately the Ijaws are too primitive, crude and unintelligent a race to even insult the great nation of Israel with such comparison.

If any group doesn't have a home it is you Igbos. That's why you are all over the place. You don't see Ijaw people in your poverty stricken enclaves you call "home".

Norwichsailor:
You can keep deciving yourself Mr.
The largest oil terminal in Nigeria is located in ibeno, It should have been sighted in mbo which is oro but because the then govenor mr esuene who was from the eket ibeno axis pledged allegiance to ibibios, it's located in ibeno, Ibom sea port was moved to ibeno for almost the same reasons,[b] if they were ijaws trust me they wouldn't have it that good, [/b]ask Eastern obolo howfar, so just stay in your ijaw enclave and drink ogogoro

You claim Ibeno is enjoying because they pledged allegiance to Ibibio. Why would they pledge allegiance to Ibibio if they are Ibibio?

Where were the Ibibios when Ijaw and Ogoni people were fighting for the rights of the interest of oil producing communities?

Due to Ibibio greed the Efik who share linguistic links with you didn't want to be in the state with you. Ibibio greed made Nigeria lose Bakassi to Cameroon.

Ibeno was not for you to decide. That decision was made by the transnational companies and the NNPC.

Unfortunately you've been reaping where you didn't sow. Depriving oil bearing communities in Akwa Ibom state of the benefits that come from their land.

People of Ibeno or Eastern Obolo have never been governor, deputy governor, representative of Akwa Ibom on the NDDC board, Chairman or MD of NDDC etc. In terms infrastructure nothing is done in their areas. The little they have is from corporate social responsibility.

I cherish the Ibibio-Igbo alliance. It is the best thing that can happen to the region.

The Ijaws will always have it good, that why God almighty ALWAYS blesses our and we are grateful for that.

Not such a negative statistic. That would put Nigeria's debt to GDP ratio at about 30-35%? Nigeria is joining the developed countries from that perspective. After all, countries like the UK and France have debt to GDP ratios approaching 100% if not more. And even the mighty US and China have debt to GDP ratios much higher than Nigeria's. I personally don't see what the cause for alarm is, but then again, perhaps I need a couple of beers before I can see the issue from an emotional beer parlor perspective.

It is very bad!
The loans are not being put to good use here in Nigeria. The the Western hemisphere is is being put to good use.
Nigeria's debt are too expensive. Much of the money pays for foreign goods or services.

Nigeria is in for a mega mess when Buhari is through.

I have been to ibeno, I have friends from ibeno and none of them are ijaw or even have any iota of ijaw in them, let your agenda end at Eastern obolo.

That your friends are in Ibeno does not necessarily mean they have their roots there. All this confusion is being caused by Nigeria. If they considered history, culture, geography, ethnicity and compatibility when they created states or LGAs many of these issues would be nonexistent.

You really have time for these igbo people ooo, this is 2021 learn how to ignore these people, they are not worth anyone's time.

Alabo happy new year!

Hopefully their madness will be cured in 2021 or they will be sent to the Oji River settlement.

pazienza:
As for talking about pre colonial civilization.

Your primitive Ijaw ancestors were so backward they couldn't evolve beyond stone age. You have no knowledge of metallurgy and hence never attained the bronze age. There are no known metallurgy centre in Ijaw land. You never had blacksmiths and were fully dependent on itinerant Igbo blacksmiths for your metallic tools.

You also never evolved any clothing civilization. You have no known traditional weaving centres. It was the Ndoki Igbos of Akwete mainly that made clothes that your savage Ijaw ancestors wore. How can you speak of clothings when you have no weaving or clothing skills and hence never evolved a weaving civilization?
Are you okay at all?
How long ago was it that your Ijaw ancestors were still walking stack naked in PH, leading to the "Okrika wake up" tantrums?

You must be insane to ever envisage you were at any point in human history or development an equal or match to Ndiigbo.

I don't blame you, I blame shameless IPOB unity beggars who are giving you the temerity to talk anyhow.

You are very ignorant! Brass was called Brass after the metal Brass because not only did the Ijaws create brass they knew what to use it for.

Calling people Ndoki Igbo makes me laugh!

If you know history you would combine both words in the same sentence. Like I have always told you guys, much Abia and Imo was Ijawland.

Is it by coincidence that Abriba, one of the few Igbo clans Ijaw let into their space are still into the selling of second hand clothes ( Okrika wares)?

If Igbo people had that it is Okrika of all place they choose to name the trade after. Not Abriba, not Ngwa, or any of the other Igbo clans.

The same Igbo who claim Ijaw dressing looks too European want to claim they were clothes before Ijaws?

The Ijaw wore their traditional clothes. Made by Ijaw while second hand clothes, boxes of low quality tobacco ( snuff) was exchanged for slaves with your ancestors.

When a society is advanced the society employs foreign labour for the menial jobs. That is why Igbos did all the back breaking jobs. Ijaw city states who had embassies in different continents of the world cannot afford to create sweatshops for citizens. It is no coincidence that when Britain desired a seaport and railway track, the Ijaw paramount ruler, Chief Oju Daniel Kalio imported Igbos to do all the menial jobs.

You claim the Akwete weaving industry is an Igbo industry yet till today Igbos do not have a traditional atire. Today the Igbo bastardise the traditional dressing of other ethnic groups in Nigeria, in recent times mostly that of the Ijaws.

The only Igbos that were permitted to dorn a strip of cloth to cover their pubic areas were the "Ohafia warriors", a status they earned in the service of the Nembe monarch.

That colonialism gave you a springboard shouldn't make you boast about feats your ancestors could ever imagine not to talk of achieving.

pazienza:
Don't be stupid. No sane Igboman want any form of unity with Ijaw people. Only IPOB whose sanity is in question propose such absurdity. Real Igbos know we have real score to settle with Ijaws and wish to maintain strictly hostile relationship with you to ensure every iota of the score is settled, hence the clamour for independent homogeneous Igbo republic by all well breast fed Igbo sons.

Ama is Igbo. We have AmaIgbo the home town of King jaja your Igbo overload right in Igbo heartland of IMO state. We have ancient places with suffix or prefix of "Ama". EziAMA, AMAnator, AMANkanu, AMAwbia, AMAokwe, AMAifekede, AMAogwugwu, etc. They are countless.

Ijaw is not an ethnic group but rather a fraud. A franchise. There is no ethnic group called Ijaw. What you have is a group of independent people with distinct languages not even belonging in same language grouping let alone being intelligible, all lining up under the fraudulent ethnic tag of Ijaw.
The Ogbia speak an Ibibiod language, likewise Abua. Udekeme, Engenni, Epie and Attissa all spead a distinct Edoid language.
Andoni language is Ibibiod, Opobo and Bonny towns speak Igbo.
Yet all are IJAW. No relationship whatsoever except cohabitation in riverine environment. Totally distinct people as seen in languages claiming members of imaginary modern day franchise.

Is there anything like central Ijaw language? Nope. Why? Because there is nothing like Ijaw. IJAw as an ethnic group can only exist in a fraudulent country like Nigeria where things are turned upside down. When the time is ripe, a homogeneous Igbo nation will uncouple the fraud called IJAW ethnic group for what it is , and ensure the minority Izon causing all the problems are contained in Bayelsa.

You are just as dumb as your IPOB brothers. I don't have time reply your rubbish. It is too stupid for me to waste time reading it. This time you guys will be completely annihilated since that is what you wish the Ijaws.

Anytime you come back the same God that gave us victory in the past would give us TOTAL victory. Unrelated dialects is figment of your imagination and the greed and hate that is inspiring you will surely lead to your destruction.

Just everything Igbo ama was copied. I like I have always said, much of Imo and Abia belonged to the Ijaw. The Ibibio also had parts of Abia state.

The Northerners have started pushing to recover their lands from you Igbo. If it was truly your land why don't fight for it?

You think it is in Ijawland you would come and flex muscles?

Except no Igboman has benefited from Ijawland, you be totally destroyed.

Your incomplete Igbo language without gender nor pronouns for male or female is what you want to use as a standard of measurement for the way advanced languages like Ijaw?

The Ijaw language complex and ancient language that gives us the freedom to express ourselves to the fullest. We can qualify and quantify things. Its complexity is way beyond the mental capacity of the average Igbo who interchange he with she and she with it or road with load.
In English you can use beautiful, elegant, magnificent etc to describe the same thing. That your language has limitations doesn't mean the Ijaw man's should follow the same primitive rule as Igbo.

Your former Ohaneze ndi Igbo leader said a central Igbo is nonexistent. So who should we believe? You or your leader?

Maybe you should make wawa central Igbo for better understanding.

Norwichsailor:
Eastern obolo yes maybe but ibeno how? Do they speak ijaw or answer ijaw names? Do ijaw play ekpe or obon or akata, the current chairman of ibeno is Mr Ifum Udoh, you'll tell me what Udoh means in ijaw, clown. You guys will just wake up and start typing nonesense from your bedroom. Ibeno people are ibibio people and not ijaw people, mind your stupidity and how you exhibit it online.

In Nigeria people answer two English names or two Arabic names. It doesn't necessarily mean they are English or Arab. Yes, names play a major in determining people's ethnicity .

Ijaw people bear names that do not necessarily reflect their ethnicity and this happens due to different reasons. In some cases so those names could mean something different in the Ijaw language.

Some names also not spelt out fully. That may make people misrepresent the name or its meaning.

For example former president Jonathan's name is Ebelemi but many think the name is Ebele. Sometimes people correct our names on documents thinking there an error in spelling. Alabo for instance is changed to Alaba.

Michael Essien, the former Ghanaian national team player is not Ibibio but Nigerians mistaken him for one.
In Germany Udo is a common name in Germany and doesn't signify any ethnic affiliation between the Ibibio and Germans.

That Ibeno has many Ibibio residents or Ibibio sounding names doesn't mean it is an Ibibio area. After all there are lots Ibibios in Rivers state how much more Ibeno or Eastern Obolo that is closer to their homeland.

People didn't create the states they found themselves in. If in an organisation for several ethnic groups the Annang and their Ibibio cousins have continued to monopolise it without baiting an eye. Why won't the Ibeno people bear your names to have some form of respite?
