Ekealterego:

Okoloma existed before any human dwelled in Bonny. Stop your fables. OKoloma is as old as Ndoki.
Another fable, Tales by the moonlight. Where is this written? We come with fact, you come with myths with no receipts.
See the difference.
Slayerforever, Eastlink (see your Alinsaw Egbema), Newage98, see your Ekpahia (Ekpeye), Bkayy, Igboid.
Let us make reference to a colonial map of Igboland.

You can see Ubani at the bottom

Ekealterego:

Did you even read?

The languages were clear. They collected samples of other languages from people of those areas clearly.

More evidence!

Alabo7978:

The same Horton that told you Nembe was Igbo.
This Ekealterego doesn't have sense.
The igbos have been the darling of the British media ever since the palm oil trade.
Have you seen how these stupid reports are misleading?
9pluto ??
crowther and pepple clearly explained the difference in the dialect Okolo-ama, which is the chief spoken language in Bonny; same language is spoken in Calabari, AND IT IS STILL SPOKEN TILL TODAY.
Now I ask y'all clowns, if that okoloama language is Igbo, why did crowther and pepple said otherwise?
Let us assume they were drunk and made a mistake, can we boldly say the language spoken in Calabari is Igbo too??

ThickSharon123:


I wish to share a video record of an Eleme guy here. I said, oh I believe you're classified under Ijaw or Ikewere. He was like "No," in angry voice and said. We are Igbo.

Most of them, Eleme, Ekpeye and the like gladly tell me their full Igbo bred, and not Ijaw in any way

The last one was a friend of mine a girl, she abruptly warned me, not to say she's Ijaw. It turned to fight that day, she would have removed my bone straight hair from my scalp, if I no beg

Ekealterego:

This is another account by Horton in a different chapter stating the dialects of Igbo written in 1866-68
Slayerforever, look at Bonny carefully written here.

Eleme people call themselves Igbo? the greatest ever lie told

JANK23H:

Ijaws,Efik,Ogoni,Ibibio etc.They still are classed under Igbos.The distinction only started recently after the NigerDelta agitations.

ThickSharon123:


I said I talked with this guy today, he was asking for a date. The guy is not even in Nairaland. I guess it isn't good to do this nairaland shit becuase I embarrassed myself before the guy.

I was like eleme is classified under Ijaw, or Ikewere, the guy was angry, it was totally shameful. (And he's fine sha, Igbo guys I salute)

I told him there is a platform called Nairaland that Ijaws keep saying Eleme and the likes are ijaaw and all. I was recording him on voice note unknowingly. I thought I'll post it here so all of you would hear it. But this platform doesn't consider it.
I was so embarrassed becuase it made me feel childish contesting his identity.

He was even trying to tell me how they came from imo, and how they are related to people from Imo trying to make me rub mind with him.

GreatBoss:


See what penis have done to your sense of thinking.
There was no time Ijaw say Eleme is under them.

BlackSaints:
The thing shock you abi?

Alabo7978:

You lie nigga.
The white men met hostility when they came. Infact the ordinary natives hated them.
They were only friends with the king and chiefs.
They were tales of white men wandering off and they were caught and eaten.
Crow could identify features and know where they come from, and I too can do that. I know what a native American looks like even though they put on suits, I know how many Asians look like even though the ordinary less-analytical brain will see them and assume they are Chinese but does it make me an expert in their traditions?
Do it makes me know how to speak Mayan language or some other Asian language?
Okolo-ama are the original owners of Bonny. It isn't hard to see. I showed you crowthers report.
The brass men in your write up were a combination of (Nembe,kula,bille,twon etc) who are offshoot of ijo but did the white man know this?
No. He just made hasty generalization.
Wasn't it one of those British explorers who said Nembe was Igbo?
How many times has this reporters in their false thesis caused many explorers to loose their lives while looking for the source of the river Niger?
They are famous for guessing and guessing and guessing just to gain stupid plaudits for some weeks in the British media.
These white men rewrote African history and many Africans like you believe.
Remember El Dorado and it's false reports which led alot of ship expedition to America but all was futile?
Crow knows nothing and the people despised him.
Crowther appealed more because he was black so he got the real information.

OfoIgbo:


Why are you finding it difficult to also confirm that the ruling house was also Igbo?

So while the kings of Ubani were Igbo speakers, while the slave merchants there were also Igbo speakers, and while the slaves were also Igbo speakers, you are hellbent on trying to confuse people into thinking that it was only the slave class that were Igbos.

How come those that attacked Diette-Spiff were speaking a Brass language, that could be understood 100% by every Igbo speaker?

How come a more ancient memoir written by Crow, that was decades earlier than the one written by Crowther, not critical enough for you?

Ubani and Kalabari traditional institutions are led by Igbo lineages. This cannot happen unless you are trying to say that the Igbos invaded those areas, and established Igbo kingdoms over the non-Igbo natives. We all know this didn't happen.

You still have to scale the hurdle of Igbo traditional leadership in Bonny, and the fact that Crow's memoirs was more ancient than Crowther's writings, hence more reliable as a source of how things were.

BKayy:

They say half knowledge is worse than none. This terminology from Ajayi Crowther was posted here by Ekealterego but you drunks have been carrying up and down without knowing the meaning.

The meaning is that Bonny assertion that they are from Ndoki is true and the evidence was Okoloma which is in Ndoki, Igboland.

Have any of you bothered to ask Ekealterego what happened after this page?
Or bothered to look for the book?
No, just jumping up and down with the crumbs that fell from Ekealterego's research table like monkeys.
You drunks eh...

"Half Knowledge is worse than none"

ThickSharon123:


Ahhhhhh.... Chimooooo!!!!! Is it not you people that said they are related to you and were invaded by Igbos, and even your Ijaw brother here is shocked, read the thread.

Alabo7978:

JANK23H do not mind them, I know what you're talking about.
Many people in the region around Igbo land were refered to as igbos. Even in the military era in Nigeria, the northern people use to believe everybody in the former eastern region we're ibos, just as we believed everyone in the north were HAUSA, or everyone in the west was Yoruba.
Heck the ibos themselves see efiks, ibibio, and every one with that sound of the language as calabar people.
Same mistakes most these white men did

JANK23H:

You wouldn't know because you are Igbo.To the average Yoruba we are all "Omo Ibo".They know nothing about distinctions.

Stop wanking over revised history.The Europeans caused a lot of trouble to Africa and Native American history.I'm familiar with most of those texts you uploaded and there are several others that contradicts them.Hence,I'm no bothered about uploading anything.

If you think the Ijaw socia-cultural organizations are just for anybody oya go and join, if u think we just accept just any nonesense people.


Even Yoruba could not put up with Igbo on one NINAS they've now left the NINAS, and said they and the Middle Belt will be forming another self determination Organization.
That's the one Ijaw Republic will go and join from next week.

... Now, I believe you people get drunk. And I believe you're a woman on that thread , iberirbe. .

That said, Eleme, Nembe, Ekpeye and the likes that I have as close friends all said they are bonafide Igbos, they are proud of who they are.

But your lots try to belittle them and acculturalize them by force. ...very soon, I'll go and spend some holidays in the beautiful town of Opobo, and all Atlantic Igbos.

PS: if you have evidence of my identity to put home your point from the start, I dare your Ijaw lineage to do so. ... I believe you're a woman, I have evidence.

Ooooooouuuuuuu.... Stay pained. You people can change concept. Gosh, are you sure you people don't have Yoruba heritage too. Becuase you have their features and behaviour.

Ekealterego:

You are probably right. A section of Eleme people are from Arochukwu. Eleme is a mixture of Ogoni and Arochukwu, that is why they do not accept the Ogoni tag.
As we stated earlier, their old name was "Mbolli" or "Mba Oli". This was what Aros call them and how their name was represented in history books. It is possible that the guy you were talking about is from the Aro side of Eleme.
