Lol...
Removal of electricity subsidies was very good in order to allow people invest in it.. imagine u investing in power and government start owing u..do u think it will be funny..
Government can't manage anything it better to make it profitable and leave it in private hands..
Naira fall is as a result of Crude oil price..
Etc..
It like u don't understand how Nigeria works before u start insulting labor...
So u think labor means well for the power sector if they still want government to subsidize...

If

You clearly didn't comprehend my comment!

Nigeria is a country misplaced priorities are rife! Labour primary duty should be the working conditions and pay package of her members. The Naira, petrol price, privatisation or electricity subsidy is none of their business.

lol.i think its more of kalabari name. . . Ibinabo Fibresima _{fine actress}

@Topic,Timi. . . its a short form tho,dont know either the meaning or its full form
Ama. . .baby gal
Abbey. . . .fine boi no pimple.

more to come

Ibinabo Fiberesima is from Okrika

Can we disband the army, share the money amongst everyone and let us return to our respective villages and pray?

Igbo in name, Yoruba by location and Fulani by action!

Ijaw amaka!

If the presidency was not aware and the actions of the police force embarrasses them they will sack the police chief and his officers behind this.
This story won't fly!

JAMO84:
Hire mercenaries, short term benefits, empower our military, permanent benefits, chose your choice.

If there are saboteurs, weed them out. An Igbo Christian was in charge of the army, he wasn't competent enough to find the saboteurs in six years?

You are promoting lies! Jonathan was not in charge for 6 years. It was 5 years! Within that 5 years span he has had two chief of army staff appointed by him. The Igbo man you made mention of was relieved of his appointment due to pressure from your Northern leaders.

Nigeria as a country cannot get it right for as long as ethnic extremism or religious intolerance is incentivised.

bigfish3k:
Where is the declared Niger Delta republic that he declared or you want to tell me that you don't want a maximized gain. Because as minorities you must be overshadowed by the majority tribes as far as you are in one country.

Igbos didn't annex your land anytime because you are always dragging land with every tribe.
The Benins are dragging gelegele with you.
The yorubas are also dragging with you in ondo and Lagos. You are also dragging with urhobos, itshekiris, isokos and you think you are always right. Hmnm
Is your land now in your hands? No
Stop deceiving yourself because your land and resources are in fulani hands whom you pay tax so that they can allow you to go to your farms.

Your pride don't want to allow you to agree that the igbos are the lesser evil
Is it the igbos that decimated your village in odi

Demand were made and major demand was having our distinct states or we will leave Nigeria. Those demands for distinct states that separated us from the Igbo were met.

In addition, Ijaw are not minorities but the minorities of the minorities, the Fulani are dealing with you Igbos so being a minority is not necessarily a disadvantage in Nigeria.

How come Umuleri and Auguleri are in constant land dispute?

How come Igbo communities in Ebonyi state are at war with communities in Cross river?

What about the Enugu/ Kogi clash? Or the Ebonyi/ Enugu clash? Or fights within Enugu?

What about the constant fight in Akwa LGA of Anambra state?

Most of these Igbo communal conflicts are from this year 2020.

Yet you still crossed over to Rivers state create crisis. If not the governor was proactive Rivers state would have on the list of places fighting with the Igbo.

The others learnt from you Igbo. Your activities during the civil war legitimized war crimes in Nigeria. Since your Biafran war criminals were spared any legal repercussions for their heinous crimes, it has been difficult to prosecute Nigerian uniformed personnel for crimes they commit.

You Igbos need to genuinely change.

olatuns2017:
Definitely for APC if zone to South

SW president
North vice


PDP
SE president
North Vice


2023
It will be interesting

In God we trust!

The candidates would most probably be Northerners

bigfish3k:
Stop this your 1967 yarn as If you are enjoying the Nigeria you fought for. Remember you also lost in 1966

You are just being emotional and twisting history.
Only God knows who fed you all these historical lies.
You people did not sprout from the ground to where you are. You also migrated.
Just stop behaving as if you are the one that shared land between tribes

1966 started with an Igbo led coup and the guy who started the resistance against the Igbo military government ended your Biafran dreams.

The man achieved his objectives of the 1966 rebellion, being free from the Igbo contraption called eastern region.

We fought to stop Igbo annexation and annihilation of our homeland and people.

We didn't fail in achieving that objective. It is the Igbo who failed in their attempts to annex our place.

Like your fathers failed every subsequent generation of Igbo who desire or try to annex us or our properties will fail.

The only Igbo that is manageable as a presidential candidate in the APC is Dr Ogbonaya Onu. Any other candidate would be difficult to support.

olatuns2017:
PDP zone presidency to SE/SS(for obvious reasons)

APC zone presidency to SW/SW

It will be unjust for APC to zone to SE/SS...

APC WS made Buhari President and has their own gentleman agreement withing their party in 2014!

You cannot reap where you didn't sow

PDP should zone to the NE/SE if APC fields a candidate from the SW. We from the SS would probably support the NE/SE ticket.

If Buhari can, he can!

Lol

9ja reverse gear dey like say e permanent

bigfish3k:
if he wasn't the first
So who did he displace to take charge

He displaced no one, like i have been trying to tell you. An Ijaw clan gave the war canoe houses the land. The basis for Ijaw societies like Okrika, Opobo, Bonny, Bille, Kalabari, Nembe etc is the war canoe houses. Our societies are structured, there are checks and balances. Jaja did not decide to be king, the war canoe houses made him king and other Ijaw city states had to recognize Opobo before it gained legitimacy.

bigfish3k:
I know
Some of the unsold slaves settled there and are now natives. Some even discovered uninhabited lands like opobo and Jaja became the king after his quarrel with the pepples.
He moved with his people to a new land. Nobody gave him the land.
His descendants are the natives of that place and his family is still the royal family there.

He is a slave that rose and was free
His igboness cannot be removed as that is the only claim Ijaws are using against him.
If you are a free slave then you are free from your masters and everything

1. There is no evidence Jaja was Igbo
2. Where Opobo was founded was no virgin land.
3. Another Ijaw clan gave the war canoe houses that left Bonny for Opobo land.
4. You can not be an authority on a culture you know nothing about.
5. As a freed slave he gained Bonny citizenship and it was a man from Bonny negotiations were made to secure what is now called Bonny
6. The conflict was primarily due to Jaja's faction wanting Ijaw traditional worship to be preserved. The amayanabo of Bonny was shifting towards christianity

naturalman:
Obi of Onitsha, Oba of Benin and Jaja of Opobo will be the last king to leave their palace for this useless, nonsense and meaningless APC king visit

It is amayanabo of Opobo! That's his title. Jaja is a surname many including the amayanabo of Opobo bare.

Twutin:
Oya tell me; what have igbos taken from you?

Fyi I'm igbo.

They are trying to take our identity and our lands right now.

I will give 2 examples, feni and george.

Twutin:
Phijo, why do you still hate igbos na. I understand your situation. I believe that we should all leave with our ethnic territories, but why so much hate na?

Waitin igbo do una?

They have taken a lot from us, playing victims and still trying to take even more.

bigfish3k:
That means that we are all Ijaws. Hmnm. Lol

Please! Respect that word, if you know what that word means you wouldn't make reference to it. A lot of our people had to leave that space because they didn't want stay with you guys.

We choose to leave several of our communities so we won't have engage you Igbos. Now we moved out you are still not satisfied. You want to occupy the remaining place.

Like you failed 67 you will continually fail. No inch of our land is up for grabs, we would rather recover the ones lost to you.

blacknp:
Jaja was a slave of the interior ( Anambra Imo) brought to Opobo in his youth.

;

Your statement just shows how ignorant you are!

bigfish3k:
What you wrote is false. Jaja is from Imo State. The history is spread all over the net

Igbos think if they keep on chanting the same rubbish people will finally believe it.

To start with, I already told you up to 50 percent of what is called Imo and Abia today was once Ijaw and Ibibio territory.

To start with, both Imo and her state capital are Ijaw words. All verifiable evidence to the existence of Jaja is connected to the kingdom of Bonny.

There is no record that Ijaw was bought from Igboland. Besides if he comes from present day Abia or Imo state there is a high likelihood he is was Ijaw or Ibibio because most of those areas were predominantly Ijaw or Ibibio.

bigfish3k:
Anyway what is standard is that Jaja an igbo man founded opobo and his descendants are the natives and speak igbo till date
Your Portuguese and French comparison doesn't match the situation

Jaja is NOT an Igbo man. Stop trying to rewrite history. Bonny people left Bonny for Opobo. Opobo was founded on Ijawland. The Opobo people secured that land from another Ijaw clan. It was not as if Opobo was founded on virgin land that was owned by no one.

No evidence Jaja is Igbo. Where his story starts from is Bonny and as such we know him as an Ijaw man.

bigfish3k:
What I mean is that the girl doesn't have a native language apart from igbo. She is not ijaw and she doesn't speak. Her only native language is igbo

Stop that tale with the story of a fictitious girl that I don't know where she comes from. A French speaking African is not a native of France neither will France become Africa because of that man.

The highest people can say is that he speaks French like a native speaker. Just like English, Igbo is alien to Opobo. Some centuries ago Opobo also spoke Portuguese and Spanish. That didn't make them Iberians. If anyone speaks English or Igbo in Opobo that doesn't change the ethnicity of the natives.

bigfish3k:
So zik and others created and did rubbish and you are maintaining and enjoying the rubbish.
I am not proud of those rubbish but since the majority of Nigerians like you are enjoying the rubbish. Let it remain. We die here

You [Igbo] created the system. The Fulani minorities are benefiting from it because you [Igbo] have never used your numbers in the parliament for anything positive.

You would have had Biafra in 67 but you decided to take other Southern territories.

If Ojukwu allowed the 12 state structure to exist the rubbish Aguiyi-Ironsi did would corrected.

bigfish3k:
You didn't understand my write up

Explain. To the best of my knowledge you were insinuating that because some Ijaw know how to speak Igbo they are Igbo. I have told you other languages we speak apart from our Ijaw language.

Today a lot people like assume all North Africans are Arab because most North Africans speak Arabic but they speak their Berber and Nubian languages. They are not ethnic Arabs like those you find in Asia.

Ijaws are not Igbos and they don't only learn your language.

bigfish3k:
Talking about 1970
are you proud of the Nigeria you massacred igbos for.

If Imo and Abia is ijaw land that means igbos have no land anywhere then
God created a population of more than 40 million people and hang them in the air because na ijaw land remain. Hmnm na true

NB :the yorubas that are indigenous to Brazil are now Brazilians. That's their new land

You don't have land in Nigeria. You are the last ethnic group to migrate to Nigeria.

As leader have been saying, you are Jews from the middle east so how can you own land in Africa?

The Nigeria we have today was created by the likes of Aguyi-Ironsi, Odimegwu Ojukwu, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Fulani only maintained what you Igbos created.

bigfish3k:
The opobo girl has no other native language apart from igbo unlike your dad who has ijaw as a native language and still understands igbo.
Those two cases are different

A lot of Igbos don't speak Igbo. They speak English and Yoruba or Hausa. Does that make them less Igbo?

You communicating with English language does that make you English?

Some Ijaws speak Ibibio, Ogoni, Igbo, Urohobo or Yoruba due to the areas they trade in.

bigfish3k:
God should also bless the indigenous igbos in opobo

Nobody sprang up from the ground. Every tribe migrated from one way or the other and any uninhabited land the sole of your feet shall tread that shall ye take

Pray for the Igbos in Colombia, Ecuador,Venezuela etc. We don't have indigenous Igbo in Opobo.

Neither Yoruba or Ijaw are claiming Brazil as their land because some people there still practice elements of their culture.

You cultural thieves that have no business with Ijawland except for the mistake of the defunct eastern region would not allow people rest.

I have never seen any group people as shameless and as criminally minded as you Igbo!

Today more than 50 percent of Abia and Imo the Igbo occupy used to be Ijaw and Ibibio communities. Yet Igbo are not satisfied. They are still trying to push out the indigenous peoples from their homeland.

This time 69/70 will be a joke because God will not spare you guys this time.

bigfish3k:
How can you say there are no indigenous Igbos when it's recognized that Jaja founded opobo kingdom.
Only people without academic superior argument will be daggers drawn when they can't win you.
Given the norths poor academic ability they will always be at daggers drawn with anybody

Jumbo jumbogha otherwise known as Jaja was an Ibani chief from Bonny Island. Opobo was founded by war canoe houses that left Bonny after a disagreement. King Jaja stepped into Opobo as a Bonny chief and became an Opobo king.

Any other fantasy you try to promote is a fantasy!

The established fact is that people from Bonny kingdom established Opobo kingdom and both kingdoms are Ibani.

God bless the Amayanabo of Bonny!
God bless the Amayanabo of Opobo!

God bless Grand Bonny Kingdom!
God bless Opobo Kingdom!

God bless the Ijaw nation!!
God bless Africa!!!

bigfish3k:
There are indigenous igbos in majority in opobo

There are no indigenous Igbos in Opobo. There are only Igbo citizens of Nigeria living across the length and breathe of Nigeria.

That Azikiwe and Ojukwu spent time in Zungeru doesn't make Zungeru Igboland.

This the reason Northerners don't waste time drawing their daggers against you.

bigfish3k:
That is why I don't want to start arguing.
What is the native language of opobo people

Ibani
