Biafrarep:


They are showing you hardcore evidences with historical exhibits to back it up only for you to be recounting myths and legends.

So, when we finally meet at the International court of Justice, these fables is what you will be regurgitating?

My condolences in advance

AlexBells:

How could you tell who sold who and who did not by remotely staying here today, you can't prove that the Ijaws never sold Igbos, it was a business and anyone can participate, unless you don't care about the truth but if the notion that Ijaws never sold Igbos serve you right, hold on to it and observe it like a ritual but I believe at one point, Ijaws must have engaged or facilitated slave trade,

The two school of thought have every propensity but without ego you should be able to decipher the truth, King Jaja was an Ijaw thats a truth

Ekealterego:

Did you even read?

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

More evidence!

Igboid:


I just noticed that Nkissi, Amitsh and Oss in the list were not listed as Igbo ,but their words are Igbo words.
Biko any guess on who the Nkissi and Oss were? I'm guessing that Amitsh is Amichi (in Nnewi South of Anambra today).


The group recorded as Fernandian( I guess these ones came from the Island of Fernando Po to Bonny. They called man "Bobi" could this be where the Ph slangs "Abobi" for man came from?

9Pluto:


Are you sure this is Nembe in Bayelsa State or Neni in Anambra State? Please, we would need someone from Nembe or someone who lives in Nembe to confirm if this clip in from Nembe and if those guys are truly Nembe youths.

If it is certified they are Nembe youths, then we seriously need to question who are the Ijaws?

Interesting questions on quora would include?
Who are the ijaws? Their history/origin, when did they first appeared in history, most importantly, what is there language? etc

If those are truly Nembe youths, then recent Nigerian historIans are a disgrace or I daresay we do not have historians in Nigeria.

I can imagine the damages or propaganda that would have been peddled pre-Internet age.

SlayerForever:



Maybe Oss were Orsu of today

Ekealterego:

I think this is Brass. You can then check the king's town.
In the past, Nembe was in Brass, although they are different people. Today, Brass and Nembe are in different LGAs.

To narrow this down, the question will be, what is the name of that town or area.
You may end up in a different linguistic area if you try to explore the whole or two LGAs.

This shows how u guys know nothing about Ijaw.

Is like saying Asari Toru and Akuku Toru are both not of Kalabari-Ijaw.

If Nembe is a tribe, it would have been formed by Nembe and Brass people.

A Brass man can say he is a Nembe man and he is fully correct.

Nembe-Ijaw Subgroup and Kalabari-Ijaw Subgroup share boundaries with each other.
And these two could speak with each other from now till forever without changing to English.
Nearly 100 percent same thing.

Don't forget that Alagoa is Nembe.
Even Diete Spiff that sent all ibos packing from old Rivers State, from Brass, Nembe-Ijaw Subgroup.

afonjaheadhunts:


It's okay for you to say Ijaws sold Igbos into slavery without any historical journal or literature to support your claim but when documented evidence from 1800 is provided to show Igbo's were not sold into slavery by Ijaws and to show that Igbos ruled the Niger Delta all the way to Bonny and Opobo Island you now suddenly coil like a snake to say it is business and any party can sell the other. I am trying hard not to tell you that you are quite dumb and foolish in many ways but i am restricted to restrict myself for the sake of this educative thread.

Your face saving strategy is a weak one kindly learn and educate yourself no one is above mistakes or learning, stop making a Fool of yourself as you can see this thread is littered with intellectuals who can see through your half baked education garnished with fear and spiced with ignorance.

That video was created by ibos.
Go and remove them from all Ijaw socia-cultural organizations they belong, or go and join it if u think it's just for anybody.
Then we will believe u.

You are correct. The book is free on Google books too as I can see.

Here are the excerpts

The name of the town in particularly is Twon Brass.

Can you see that the language of New Calabar (Kalabari) was Igbo. Kalabari were earlier Igbo speaking. Same as Nembe Brass.


Go and claim them physical and not on Nairaland.
Liar.

Igbo speakers my foot.

I hear Kalabari's language is still very Igbonized today. But I don't know how true.

Maybe I should mention some old Kalabari members

Omanambala:


Basically , you accept account that favors you and trash the rest. And , you think anybody will take you serious. If we use your approach then no progress will be made because everyone will bring texts that favors their arguments.

Ekealterego:

I am not talking as Brass and Nembe as a people... but I was telling him to be careful, because Brass and Nembe and now administrative names also.
It might interest you to know that there are Ogbia, Kugbo and Abureni people in Nembe and Brass.
These languages are different linguistically from Izon for example.

Brass LGA and Nembe LGA are not homogenous... However Brass town and Nembe town is a different matter.

Now we can see there are even Igbo speaking communities or regions in the main power place.

You are actually right about Abureni people.
They are actually an Ibibiod people. Their language is Cross River.
See the ethnologue.



I think the inability of Ibibio people to unite with Annang and Efik ,that could have allowed them to unite the rest of the Ibibiod people in Bayelsa and Rivers, caused a vacuum in the Eastern region the the alien Sierra Leone Ijaws that came to our coasts as European porters have been trying to fill by fire and by Force.

Go and claim them physical u liar.

The map the Aminadokiari (Ndoki) leaders brought to the Ijaw Republic Liberation Movement Militant Forces.

GreatBoss:


If Ijaw came with the Europeans which time we come get to use Ibo as slaves that we sell to whites, and use others in our houses.

Igboid:
Nawao.
At this point, Ijaw doesn't even have up to 4 exclusive LGA in Bayelsa.

All they have been doing is forcefully and cunning labelling of Indigenous Ibibiod people of Bayelsa and Rivers.
Little wonder they got emboldened and started going after Oron, Andoni, Eastern Obolo and Ibeno.
I mean it's common sense.
If they can label proto Ibibiod people like Ogbia, Abureni, Abua, Odual, as Ijaws, they can use them to now reach out for other strategic Ibibiod coastal groups in Akwaibom.

Interesting.
