You and I know quite well that you cannot threaten anyone withing 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.

It's not a threat my biased OP. I implored him to welcome them well.I know they won't even get close,but if they do he should treat them well.

You are free to go there and see for yourself.Don't believe these online rants.

Please,take some time,visit and make your findings.

9Pluto:
Unless you are being mischievous again, people have posted receipts of Bonny and Opobo people on this thread who assert their igboness.
You may want to take your time and go through the thread again.

The only name they posted here was that of a man seeking votes.
Amaechi once said that Buhari is his brother, was that a fact??

RobbStark:
Bonny people don't bear those names.
It's either the ladies were married to bonny men or are there for biz.
Nneka, ebuka, nnamdi are not boony Ijaw names, take note.

Eh who told you. I've seen Ada femura. Ebuka Jaja and all those names. I've even seen Nneka Okoro, and Chimannda Pepple, of Ada Howard, most of them answer English names too, and English names isn't Ijaw.

ThickSharon123:
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

Ekealterego:
Lol. Today you are from Bayelsa, the next day you are from Opobo.

I have never for once said I am from Bayelsa.
Pls do post receipt if I have.

I am from rivers state. Not Bayelsa.
Bayelsa is mother state cos there, we have true n true Ijaws.
You can say whatever, I really don't care.
It changes nothing on ground.

You all can win the online arguements but, we the real winners are owners of those land and there is no contest.

How old are you?

I believe Ijaws are grabbing this or taking advantage of Opobo and Bonny because they desire to take the full power of the coast. I assure you if there was no crude oil or people didn't use the sea to trade, you'll see Ijaw calling them Igbo people.

They want to take over all of the coast from Lagos to Opobo, perhaps they'll move to Akwa Ibom soon, and begin to take a weak part of their family to take advantage on and begin to tell them stories from hell that they are Ijaw and Ibibio stole their land from them. .

We all know, but the funny part of it all is, if you have all the coastal waters what do you do with it, except you want to be collecting surcharge from we at the hinterland. Why? It doesn't make sense. I believe that's Ijaws main motive. They know Igbos are main trading people, so this is business and Opobo and Bonny are hot spots.

Lagos and Ondo had luck that they didn't bring Ijaws in, in their lands in large number or they weren't close to them, if not Yoruba's would have been having this stress.

You claim you are from Opobo (now it's your father

Can I shock you?

Hold your breath.....

There are Ijaws in Ondo.

That appellation "a dot in a circle" from Buhari wasn't a blurt. The Igbos know that too and are trying so hard to get access to the sea.If Biafra comes without direct sea access, Dem go see shege for Nigeria hand.

Why aren't Igbo as desperate for Ika and Ekwerre.Ask yourself.Unless you are naive,you should know the agenda.

I didn't say they weren't Ijaws in ondo, but they are lucky they didn't tell you people to come the more and interrelate with them and inter marry with them. If not, they for hear word!!! perhaps the Yoruba's had foreseen this through their Ifa, that's why they refused even though Ijaw people claimed you'll supply good fishes for them if they give you big land to settle.


And for the sea part, Igbo land has Akwa Ibom and the delectable Cross River. Who are willing to stay with their brothers no matter the upheavels. That's why Igbo loves them.

And if we are both together, living harmoniously as it's going to be done, you'll see development. And Ijaws would be biting their teeth in Niger Delta Republic, begging the Biafran government to count them in. But it would be too late

They are already in Akwa-Ibom. They have claimed the whole coast up to the entry ports of Calabar.
They go one town after the other. Usually, they go for water and oil. Two criteria.

Chisus!!! So my hypothesis is true. Ijaw, you need to thread carefully. Being Ijaw doesn't mean you own all the coast. Lord of Zechariah!!

There have been confirmed ijaw presence in Ondo state(consistent with their presence in most of the maps). However, there are more recent ijaw claims of owning the whole coast of rivers state, part of Akwa/Cross and now Gabon. They are now claiming Obolo kinship.

My friend said there are now parts of Akwa-ibom he cannot venture into as a native because of ijaws. That is why what we are doing here is important.

Meanwhile do not bring what Buhari said here, because both of us know he is ignorant. Someone talking about Western Germany in 2014/15 is not so bright. Besides, most northerners are not so informed about the south and the reverse is also the case. I had northern friends who would never agree that Jonathan was not igbo.
As per Ikwerre denials, for every Wike there are several Amaechi or Obi Wali. But asides this things if you are really well travelled and you understand Nigeria properly, you do not need to be told who is who.

Please, can you confirm if oja is part of ijaw musical instruments?

are you familiar with the map of Nigeria?
please to clear your eyes, check the map, the Igbo speaking tribes ended on the fringes of River state, and there is a large number of tribes between Igbo land and Bonny.
now young woman, do you now believe that igbos will be the first to cross those tribes to beat them to Bonny which is at their backyard?
please reason am.

it's just like me as a Nembe-ijoh person claiming I began trading operation in igala land which is at Igbo backyard, or let me use your own Ghana for instance.
Togo is between Ghana, now which of both country do you think will get to Ghana first?

reason am.

oil is not the problem,
Every ijo land has oil and gas, it technically leaks from the ground if you dig deep a little.
please, use your initiative, Bonny is enclaved by ijaw tribes and infact Bonny is the land before the sea, and you want to let clowns decive you to believe that Bonny which is in the heart of ijo tribes were reached by the igbos when crowther and pepple and Dr koeller clearly revealed igbos were slave there(no offense)

I'm talking about large numbers. Let me tell you something. Do you know it was just last year I knew Ijaws were in Ondo. And they don't give you people chance to represent in anything. Sowwore tried to find his path himself. They don't even want to associate with them, that's why Ijaws are turning to Yoruba speedily there.

And this year I knew they were in Lagos, but in very small numbers. Perhaps, Yorubas dcut your population, becuase they didn't want these issues. Becuase you people can be counted there, a sultry sum of 20,000-100,000

Crazybeard:
No it is not.Bonny's problem is straight forward.

Ijos bought Igbo slaves(mostly) and slaves from ethnic groups around.The Elders at time chose to use the language of the slaves to trade with the Europeans and other Igbo merchants from the hinterland.Their thinking as silly as it was,was to prevent outsiders (slaves et al) from learning their language.That way they could keep certain secrets.

Also,a lot of Igbo slaves were made part of the canoe houses after passing through certain rites.These slaves still had their language and they taught their children.Before long,Igbo language became dominant.

Ijaw bought slaves with which money? What did you pay with?

I do not want to respond to the other things you talked about. But when you say Bonny is in the heart of ijaw land/territory, do you mean ijaw land extending from Ondo to Gabon?

No it's not part of the Ijaw musical instruments.

There are Ijaw migrant camps in Gabon and Cameroon.They aren't Indegenes.In Gabon, government policies have forced them hinterland and been absorbed by indigenous tribes.

I remember my dad and grandad used to tell me stories of how they would go fishing from my village in Sagbama to Gabon.It's actually very close by sea,like their backyard.They'd paddle all the way and back.

The first migration to Gabon was in the early 20s forming Kala(small) fishing ports.

Ijaw is a fraud. They've also given you people facts that you were in the sea, lived in the sea. So now, tell me, how would Igbo be at the fringes...Oh, sorry, you mean at the coast? And you guys were at the sea. That's plausible.

You guys never owned land. Opobo and Bonny are meant to dislike you people the minute they know what Boro did to their kind, perhaps there was a time you sneakily asked for reconciliation and began to cleanse their language from them.

But the Chi of all Igbos are strong. They stuck to their language till the end of time, and you Ijaws aren't getting it.

I just watched an Opobo group dance on facebook now(Opobo connect) where they won an award in Abuja either yesterday or today.
You guys should watch it and come tell me if you understand what they were singing in your languages(ijaw or igbo)

If Yorubas were as senseless and non strategic like Igbo Leaders starting from Zik to modern day Governors, the Ijaws would have since claimed the entire ONDO sea coasts.

But Yorubas made sure to keep them in check.

They were also checkmated in Lagos seas coasts too.
It's sad to admit, but Yorubas always had more strategic and foresighted Politicians than we do in Igboland.
The average Igbo Politician doesn't think beyond stockpiling funds from his state or constituency to go live in USA, UK or Canada.
Important group survival issues is non of their business.

It's a pity, this is what we have to correct.

The majority will always dominate the minority.

Ijaws are minority in Ondo,but that's not the reason they are almost "Yorubanized".Ijaws tend to bear the names of the location they were born,learn the language and blend in.
