how did that hummer limo get to Brass that is predominantly water?
Need I remind u that the whale killed some few years ago was in Brass, that's how massive the water body is.
That video is not in Bayelsa, let alone Brass

There are roads obviously.

Flyingngel:
Una don carry Una matter go Bayelsa?

The video was posted by pro Igbo group on twitter. And there was no evidence the video was shot in bayelsa. Ipob on nairaland are despicable. Seun should fix the site.

The rate Igbos are disgracing their ethnic group is astonishing.

I have been reliably informed that the attack not only happened but the King was lucky to escape. The youths were out for blood, after nearly 2 weeks of protesting for electricity and water. 2 weeks!

You can see for yourself how Ijaw have all scattered in different directions.

There is a lady that bears the name Obi in BY, she is Bayelsa epie and not igbo

That Epie is also called Ekpeye who are d Igbos found in Ahoada LGA of Rivers state eg Wike's wife who goes by the name Eberechi(a conc Igbo name which means Mercy of God)
But most of them claim that they are now a tribe of their own instead of a clan of Igbo due to post civil war marginalisation of Igbos.

Nobody called slaves here. Slaves everywhere.

OP na stupid idiot fxcking.
No Igbo speaking people from Bayelsa even the ones wey bear Igbo names sef still dey speak ijaw.
Jonzin lie lie Op

Igbos and their recent obsession with Ijaws and their lands.Trying desperately to rewrite history.

Una go still see wetin una dey find o.

Continue with the propaganda and lies,all to get access to the sea.An Oporopo on the thread said Ijaws have no land in Nigeria and are from Sierria Leone;joke of the century!

I urge all reasonable Igbos to call their brothers to order, because with senseless threads like this,they create more enemies than allies for Igbos.

Egberi fa!

Eastlink:
Bayelsa have indigenous Igbos. I knew this through a girl I dated one time ago.

Her name is Rejoice Nwaku from Sagbama LGA. Modified.

You are a pathetic liar!

I am from Sagbama LGA in Bayelsa; precisely Adagbabiri.I can tell you with all authority that there are no indigenous Igbos or Igbo settlements in Sagbama.They can't even erect a hut,let alone have a village.

Junkies!

Your ancestors are Benin slaves who worked the vast Benin royal farmlands for nothing.

Without detailed and convincing evidence I cannot agree with this. Everyone knows that Bayelsa is pure Ijaw land. The Igbos there are probably recent migrants just like the Igbos in Lagos and Edo state.

People need to be guarded in this country and stop spreading lies. I am not Ijaw but I will never sit back and watch trouble makers lay claim to Ijaw land. If the Igbos have clear evidence that they are indigenous to Bayelsa, then they should present the evidence so that everyone can see clearly. Until then stop using low quality videos to heat up the polity.

Eastlink:
They go by their village names. The don't accept that they are Igbos based on my interaction with the girl. I guess the Ijawnization policy of secessive Bayelsa state Government and made worst by the Governorship of the former Governor have made everyone both Ogbia, Epie, Isoko, Ekpeye and the Igbo tribes etc see themselves as Ijaws.The only way you could tell they are Igbos is when they speak and also their surnames.

Can you link me to this Igbo girl from Bayelsa let me find out if she REALLY has Igbo name and speaks an Igbo language? Because my understanding is that Bayelsa is purely Ijaw state.

richmond500:
OK, she may have ancestral lineage traced to Igbo but there isn't Igbo in BY, Rivers is debatable but not BY

I agree with you on BY but Rivers is not debatable. Even Wike is an Igbo man. He denies it because of Nigerian politics but he knows the truth. Port Harcourt is Igbo and Ijaw 50 - 50. Furthermore, most of the Imo border areas in Rivers state are 100% Igbo.

The question is not if the attack happened or not. The question is this: Is the OP's video from the said attack?

Wike's wife is from Imo state now. So how does that follow?

I quite agree with your position. This video isn't convincing enough and can't be used as an evidence to state clearly any claim.
This is my view on this issue.
Have I heard of few Igbo communities in Bayelsa? Yes I have. Three to be precise.
Have I read convincingly about them? No I haven't.
Do I believe any of such communities exist? Yes I do.
Why do I believe it even without any convincing proofs? It is because Bayelsa share boundary with both Delta and Rivers state and those boundaries have Igbo/Igboid communities located there. This is around the tributaries of the lower River Niger below Aboh in Ukwuani area.
Are there any Igboids in Bayelsa with proofs? Yes.
Who are these Igboids? They are the Ekpeyes whose land in Rivers state shares boundary with Bayelsa.

PH is not 50/50. Take a look at the PH map again. It is majorly Igbo. The Ijaw (Kalabari) areas are mostly swamps. Most of the mainland is Igbo (Ikwerre) and Ogoni. Old PH was more of the Port area (swamp) but today, PH has grown inland which obviously is Igbo.

You lie. There's a community called Osekwenike in Sagbama LGA. Are you denying it? Who are the people of the community?
Tell us also about Igbogene in Yenagoa LGA. The settlement is about 5km to Rivers state.

Do you know that Bayelsa has at least 10 different languages spoken inside of it indigenously? Do you know that only 4 out of the 8 LGAS are 100% Izon/Ijaw speaking? They are Ekeremor, Kolokuma/Opokuma, Nembe and Southern Ijaw. The remaining 4 they share with other language speakers. Sagbama shares boundary with Delta state and have languages also spoken in Delta like Urhobo/Isoko. The same Sagbama and the rest LGAs namely Yenagoa, Ogbia and Brass share boundary with Rivers and these areas are occupied with Igboids and other Edoid and distinct languages.
People have been awashed with the belief that Bayelsa was a whole Ijaw owned state. Now we know better.
You can go online to conduct your research. Make your findings known thereafter.

This is the last response I'll give on this silly thread.
I have a feeling this whole nonsense is engineered by IPOB to brainwash Igbos in thinking they own Ijaw lands so they can move in and cause chaos,or possibly acquire forcefully.

You won't know what hit you,by the time the dance starts.Continue in your madness.

richmond500:
I know Epie ppl doesn't see themselves as ijaw and they hate to be called Igbo, bearing Igbo related surnames does not automatically make them igbos.

Rivers people bear the names Bobmanuel, green, whyte, Briggs, west etc... That doesn't make them british

You are just so funny that you think you are wise. Who are they? Did they fall from the moon?

Usual way of evading the truth. If you answer the question, will you die? Rather than making readers dummies, why not enlighten readers with fact?

Well I am not surprise,hatred and foolishness is natural in every Igbo man.
