Mumu.
Till today,
Bonny and Opobo are in all Ijaw socia-cultural organizations, without leaving even one behind that they are not in, but till today, not even one Ibo own they are in.

Talk to the hand.

ThickSharon123:


Sweetheart, we do see some of them, but you people have taken them as minority at the coast. Most of the people shouting "I am Opobo and a proud Ijaw" are actually from Bayelsa or Delta Ijaw.

My dear, we aren't that dumb. Stop decieving yourself. You shout you're an Ijaw here and you go to the village and they speak Igbo.

There are videos online about Bonny and Opobo and even Nembe and the normal people or elders speaks pure, unadulterated Igbo.

Please, you can't tell me those tales of the moonlight.

You are new to this debate,so relax.

9Pluto:
I have been able to identify at least 4 Bonny Igbo kings explicitly stated. 3 Pepple and 1 other one.

Another account recorded 2 igbo head of houses.

Now guys do you know that from available records a slave couldn't be King in Bonny.

This was a problem for Jaja and the Bonny civil war gave him an opportunity to carry out his plans of asserting himself hence he became King of Opobo. This thrashes the aculturization fiction.

I have also heard fictions about Opobo becoming ijaw because Jaja married ijaw women, well while I haven't found out the number of wives he had, one account said to solidify his grasp of Opobo, Jaja entered into both marriage and blood covenant with the hinterland people who he was trading with.

Please, someone should kindly reach out out to the current Amanyanabo of Opobo, we need to tell him something.

Anyone who knows the date he would be visiting Amaigbo should also drop it here.

And why shud someone reach out to him.
Shebi you guys claimed Opobo is Ibo.
There is no need to find out anything.

Lemme tell you something for free, try n find out the names of King Jaja children.
Then you have your answer

No, I'm not. I'm the first woman who tasted some of this argument from the head start. And I was wowed from the facts. At a certain time, I began to believe that gibberish you people gave saying Igbo conquered the Ijaws in the past and forced their language on them.

If they did, why did they leave the rest of you and didn't wipe you out completely. Why did they live the palm oil rich lands of Bayelsa, and Delta even if they had the power and might to do so.

You might want to say about their non unified government or democratic practice perhaps that's why they found it impossible. But I'll refute that.

If Igbo wanted something, they'll simply call their clans that they are closed to to force an attack. Example, Arochukwu and many others. But Igbos weren't selfish and allowed your forefathers to have their own spiritual path.

But trying to take the Chi from the Opobo and Bonny people is the height of evil. You want to rip them off their glory.

ThickSharon123:
Someone should open an Igbophilic Facebook. I don't understand, are the indigenous Bonny and Opobo Igbos not using the internet? Why do they allow these Ijaw people speak for them, even delineating their true born language and calling it nonexistent?

Bonny and Opobo men and women you have a proud history, your forefathers would have rather died than let their language go. That is why they lived in that propserous conclave with the Ijaws at the west and Ibibio at the east. But none of these tribes could influence them, other than that, they influenced them. You can see how your Igbo language or Igbanni language is powerful.

You need to speak for yourself, and the 45 million Igbos would stand for you and you earn your respect as the true born of your lands.
You are not alone dear Bonny and Opobo Igbos, the Igbos would stand and fight for you, you know Igbos, we don't cower from a fight no matter the century wait, we would stand with you till the end. Love you all.

Chukwu gozie gi umunna

The Opobo and Bonny is obvious to us because they are Igbos, the Ijaw pirates are trying to wipe out the identity of all the small subgroups around that area.

Some of the small groups are resisting seriously. They have an impreliast agenda, but that's not our problem. Fine, if they pull it but don't intrude into Igbo territories. We don't joke with our brothers.

JANK23H:

You seem to have a comprehension problem.If anything,this news piece seem to affirm that Igbos are not indigenous to Bonny.

The report said "Igbo community in Bonny",just as there are Igbo communities in a lot of states in Nigeria.Moreso,the report went on to say Ogbonna admonished the "Igbo community in Bonny" to be of good behaviour during the burial.

Is comprehension such a big deal?

If comprehension is a thing, then it is on top of his wardrobe and he is too short to reach it.

Truth of the matter is that there are Ibo community in Bonny who are legit doing biz, they also gather on Sundays and discuss, even the newspaper said so but that guy slayerforever always have a way to twist things
Reason I don't want to respond to them.

2moro, I will going to Opobo in the morning, if they are free they shud come join me

LOL, see how you got me laughing out loud.

I do not know why it seems so difficult to understand.
There is a debate about identity, then your opponent goes to excavate centuries old records he did not author. You have not brought out your own counter record, yet you claim his account is a lie. Please, make it make sense.

Seriously Counter record?? You have all the records, and you've justfied your point. What more counter record do I need?

I love history, but don't dig facts. I love to read more about Mind power and mental health, dear. I'm not really into history digging, but I do commend you people for what you did for the good people of Bonny and Opobo.

I called your name for something else, perhaps you got the idea wrong.

Okay, when you go can you go to the market Square go to the people and make a camera of it all. We need to see, go around and let's hear people speak without being told what to do. Let it be as natural as possible.

JANK23H:

That's because they are Ijaws,there are several here who have identified themselves.None of them have come online to say they are Igbos.That should tell you something.

The same thing I ask them to do.
Show me an Ibo man who is from bonny.
Up till now, none.
Is it that there are no indigenous ibos from bonny or what.
Or it proved one thing, bonny peeps just like myself from Opobo are Ijaws.
The ibos currently in bonny are either doing biz or working in companies in finima or bonny.

Why aren't ibos from bonny coming here or Facebook to counter any moves being made according to you miscreants by the Ijaws to ijawnize them.

I can say I'm from Bonny, won't you believe me. This is an internet. It is more reliable when we hear it from the horses lips.

You can be from Ijaw claiming Bonny, what proof do you have, none except the internet.

The internet doesn't have all your verification details and personal information and gives it to all the public to see. So, stop wilding.

I believe there are many Bonny Igbos who are online, perhaps even countered your argument but becuase they didn't say they are Ijaw you called them Biafra.

You and I know quite well that you cannot threaten anyone within the federal republic of Nigeria including Bonny and Opobo. This thread is not about igbos from other states coming to take over or becoming Bonny and Opobo people(except through marriage). It is about Bonny and Opobo igbos asserting themselves and stop believing the lies they have been sold for decades.

I hope you get the point now. They are already in Bonny and Opobo.

We even have the ordinary people of Bonny speaking Igbo. The ones you claim are slaves. In fact, no one speaks in Ijaw or wants to communicate in Ijaw. Why so?

I believe all those connectOpobo and all on Facebook are mostly Bayelsa platforms with few Opobo and Bonny that are lost and don't know what you guys are talking about.

Most of them are Ijaws who make a group to grab, that has been your way. If Igbos do their own you'll call them grabbers like you people.
You people should be authentic. And the funny part of it all, most of the videos on that group are Bonny and Opobo people speaking unadulterated Igbo. No Ijaw.

Then you'll see the Ijaws saying, 'I love my Opobo people"

You love your Opobo people!!! Can you understand the blatty on what they are talking there? No, but they love their Opobo language.

Isn't that the height of silliness
