Please...
What are the names of the two books that you posted excerpts from?

Captain8:
but Ndokis already identifying with their Ijaw root with pride na.... or will you people forced them?
go forced them and see our wrath...

RobbStark:
The mistake your forefather made is same thing you guys here in this forum are still making.

Never you assume that a people are your people if they haven't said so.
You can't choose for them.

Bonny n Opobo are not Igbos but Ijaws.
How many times will that be told you folks

The OP said he will sell an Ijaw man in the presence of a Bonny/Opobo man but that itself is a mistake cos the bonny man or Opobo man will never sell his brother.
You Igbos can do that easily but not the Ijaw man.
We love ourselves.

Like this now I am on my way to Bonny with NLNG boat. Wen I get there I will ask some of them to tell me their heritage, culture just to confirm their ijawness.

@ slayerforever and the rest ipob miscreants ranting here, know this, your noise ends here.
No Ijaw land will be ceded to Igbos never.

oyatz:


These IPOB guys like to display a dangerous blend of crude ignorance and arrogance.


One of them is busy posting a travel narrative of a 19th century European slave merchant as his evidence that all the coastal towns in the Niger-Delta are owned by igbos!

Islayer3:



What is your stake here? You are only here to foment trouble.


Yoruba people are a curse on Africa.

OfoIgbo:


Those books were written before our grandads were born, and by neutral observers. It is more objective than books written by any Igbo or Ijaw man.

They books also bypassed the shenanigans of landgrabbers and expansionists

OfoIgbo:


We also ran away from places like Nsukka and Enugu. That doesn't make them less Igbos though

oyatz:


Territories of Countries aren't established just by a traveling narrative of a foreign slave merchant.

You need to know that nobody brought any land from heaven. The lands that a people presently inhabit is the land they are able to posses. This is what Israel and her Arab neighbours have come to understand that no side can push the other side out and both have rights to exist.

In modern international politics, it's no longer acceptable to try to possess a territory by conquering the present inhabitants of the Territories and annex their lands.

oyatz:


No sir, there was never a time that there were no Igbos in Enugu and Nnsuka.
The Biafran soldiers may run away but there were igbo people living all over Enugu, Nsukka, Mbaise, Okigwe, Aba, Isiala-Ngwa etc.

OfoIgbo:


Trying to discredit the most neutral observers. Of course they were slave traders. Was Adaka Boro not a genocidist? Was DIette Spiff not a criminal of the highest order that helped expropriate legally-acquired properties of the Igbos? But you want me to believe Alagoa's concocted tales that he keeps changing whenever he feels he is on shaky ground.

Ancient people have already established the ownership of Obane/Ubani/Bonny. Ijaws were just migrant porters in Ubani. Igbos are the real owners which is why the ruling class and the vast majority of its inhabitants are Igbo-speaking, and genetically Igbo.

Captain8:
shut up.. are you people botswana?
see, igbo will be totally useless without seaport.....

What of the second book? From which he got the second excerpt?

Captain8:
but we are not in biafra land

Idiko1:


The above is a pure rubbish. If a war breaks out, captured areas can be annexed. There was nothing such as West Bank in 1947. The area was known as part of Judea and Samaria. Arab legionnaires led by British commanders captured the place in 1948 from young and new Israeli country. The west in the bank denotes west of River Jordan. Since the Arabs know the implication of returning the name to its original format continued with West bank, a thing usually not in line with Arabs. If the Israelis had the same mindset as the Arabs, the issue of Gaza and West Bank would have long be settled because these goofy Arabs would have been driven into Egypt and Jordan which were their original places of abode.

oyatz:



One important thing you still don't understand is that ethnic identities are SELF IDENTITIES and even change with time.

People define who they are and who they want to be NOT who others wish or expect them to be.


If The people of Opobo and Ibani want to be seen as Igbos, they would have expressed this identity and no body can change it.
Ngwa and Ezza peoples today identify as Igbos Because they want to be identified as such. Nobody is now debating whether Aba is Igbo or not despite the fact that Aba, like other Ngwa towns have Ibibio heritage.

Today nobody is debating whether Kishi is a Yoruba town or not despite the fact that the Royal house in that town is of Bariba origin.


Let the people of Opobo and Ibani chose who they want to be. For now, they express an Ijaw identity than an igbo identity.

If colonialism didn't occur, by now the peoples of Rivers, Imo, Abia, parts of Akwa-Ibom and C/River would have fused into one super ethnic group.

Noise making from cowards
If fulani from thousands mile can conquer oil in your backyard
You are a disgrace to coward
Ranting blablabbla
If we reason your matter eeh

Idiko1:



Shut up your putrid mouth. Are you a drooling learner? Please snap out of your moronic daydream. It is very silly to compare great Igbo people with anybody in Africa. What do you make of the trembling that reaches Buckingham Palace when Biafra is mentioned?

Rugaria:
I'm happy a lot of igbos here are starting to push back.
Some mercenary posters here have been desperately trying to make it look like it is a land grab to talk of igbos in these areas. Paid posters shouting "5 states" whenever such topics come up. Every part igboland/igboid groups must be brought back into the fold by fire by force. Gowon, Babangida and Abacha can not be the ones to state Igbo boundaries.. Igboland extends to more areas than these 5 states and every attempt should be made to reverse the post war narratives that favor the funny One Nigerianists..

afube:





The day other major tribes like Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa begin to aspire like the Fulani and Ijaw, that is day Nigeria will begin to balance. The 2 most devious and strategic tribes in Naija are the Ijaws and Fulanis, guess what? the 2 are eternal allies and both are not aboriginal to Nigeria..........Fulanis are from guinea/Senegal and Ijaws trace their origins from Ghana/Togo.

Captain8:
the man who said he is god and will bring biafra before the end of 2020......the brain dead dot youths start believin and placed their faith on it....

eduj:


the ndokis are blood kin with the Ngwa and asa. They as a group have never identified as ijaw. on the contrary, it was the ijaws that keep sending emissaries to ndoki kings in an effort to claim them into a future ijaw second state Called oil rivers state - am happy to report to you that as of today ,that effort is dead on arrival. The ndoki of obigbo are tired of this Rivers madness and want a return to Abia state with there brethren.
It isn't a coincidence that apart from onitsha and Aba, the Ipob sentimentality runs hottest in obigbo .

A look into the list of people abducted by the military in obigbo shows that they are natives- so don't sell me your bullshit that the ndoki identify as ijaw

Captain8:
hmmm..... well if you are sure and have the believe that Ndokis dont identified with their Ijaw root, then stop wasting your effort on the Ijaw ndoki matter na....
just jejely leave the case

Investigative:

Hahahhha
Noise maker
Even you slave master fears biafra

OfoIgbo:


So why didn't the Ijaw nation come to the aid of Obigbo people when Wike was killing them.

Go there now and tell them that they are Ijaw. You will not return to the creeks with your complete set of teeth

OfoIgbo:


Those that want to identify with the Ijaws are free to do so

Those that were found in Ubani nearly 200 years ago, were happy to identify with the Igbos.

And by the way, the Ndokis, Omuna and Ngwa people who are currently fighting for ENOA state, will not be happy to be tagged Ijaws

cheruv:

Your wrath that cant even boil water
That's how your people were misbehaving when the North took over your oyel and made you guys guardians of now "their oyel"

BKayy:

Ndoki? What is wrong with this one?
Who argues such?
The only thing possible here is for the Ijaw British imported to relinquish Ndoki lands to them. I mean the one you stranger's took after the war. The one we will chase you out from very soon
