Igboid:
Tell yourself the truth.
Is Ijaw an ethnic group?

Where else in the world do you have an ethnic having groups within it with totally divergent and unrelated languages?

How exactly is Ogbia Ijaw?
The people speak a language that is totally Ibibiod and classified as a Cross River language.
It has no relationship whatsoever with Izon. This is the truth. No lies here.

Look at Abureni, look at Obulom (Abuloma), look at Odual and Andoni.
These people all speak Ibibio language related to each other and to Ibibio. The language is classified Cross River language for crying out loud by linguists. No Izon man from Gbaramatu can understand a single sentence in those languages, but an Ibibio man who listens well can pick out one or two things.

Look at Epie, Atissa, Engenni, Udekeme (Degema) .
These people are essentially Edoid people, distant relatives to Isokos. They call Child "Omo" and speak like other Edoids.

How can anyone call them Ijaw?

Then look at Opobo and Bonny. These people speak Igbo language.
Undiluted Igbolanguage that an Igbo speaking person from far away Nsukka in Enugu will understand without an interpreter.
But you want to tell me they are Ijaws, using dubious and deliberate manipulation to coerce them into dropping Igbo language.

Come on! Ijaw as an ethnic group can only happen in a fraudulent country like NIGERIA where truth is abhored and lies are embraced which is why the country is not working.

On one hand you Izons claim that Language doesn't matter in ethnicity, that what matters is to shout Aswana and Izon haa and then crude oil and riverine terrain, and then on other hand , you are busy forcing people to drop their mother languages to fit into your Kolokuma language, because deep inside, you know that uniformity of language is the basis of real organic ethnicity World wide.

I have nothing against Izons, but the truth must be said.
You lots are living in lies and building your franchise on top of falsehoods.
And you expect folks to keep quiet even when you are virtually trying to erase our Igbo legacy in Bonny and Opobo?
Good points.

I got that your name.... I shall make thread of it where after we renamed all our slaves....

We gave them jubo jubogha..
We gave them biafra...
Now you gave one a name....

I here by gave slayerforever (omoni tobo) meaning slave child.....
Ekealterego - OTONYE DOMOKUMA named by me
Igboid - porbeni (named by jankh3h )
SlayerForever - ibiwari (named by robbstark)


let 9pluto take the name Omoni tobo
since SlayerForever was already renamed ibiwari by robbstark

bkayy
and a few others are yet to be named. When we have the time, we will bring forth a name for the rest.

Okay.
Facebook should be better.
That way we maintain a certain degree of privacy until we are all comfortable with each other, then we can move to WhatsApp group.

Slayerforever can make a new Facebook group with no IPOB nuances whatever.

If at this stage any Igbo man is still talking about any sort of union with Ijaws, then I don't know what to tell them.
exactly,myonly issue with ipob is their pandering to these igbophobic minorities.

Omanambala:
Is Uranta an Igbo name , Kalabari or Ijaw ?
Uranta is not an exclusive name for Nigerians alone.

Mary Uranta whose full name is Mary Data Uranta is from the popular Opobo Uranta family.

The Uranta family is an Ijoid family in Opobo and a popular member of that family is the late
Tony Tamuno-Ipriye Uranta.

At least you can see the Ijoid middle name of late Tony

lol, confusion in the camp of drug dealing land grabbers.
do you know how many Eze'ndigbo they have all over Nigeria?
eze'ndigbo Lagos, Eze'ndigbo ogun, Eze'ndigbo Ondo.
The igbos are known travelers, entering everywhere uninvited.
they wanted to do that at cross river (Eze'ndigbo of Cross river) the cross river traditional rulers agressively halted it.
if care is not taken, 9pluto, Ekealterego, Igboid, Bkayy, SlayerForever of the future in 400 years time will claim the igbos owned those states.

igbos who don't have affinity to water, who dread the swamp and mangroves now suddenly claiming to be Water people.
Father lord!
Igbos who were slaves in Bonny just as pepple and crowther said.
igbos who were given freedom by Asimini because they showed they aided him in war.

funny enough, land grabbing clowns never want to talk about the ijoh enculturating ritual. (I will write a thread about THE ENCULTURATING RITUAL) where certain rites and spiritual practices are carried out before the spirits to change a person's ancestral identity.
if ijohs weren't the land lord, why were igbos enculturatedhuh
Ekealterego, 9pluto etc answer.

why were there enculturating rituals performed on Igbo slaves??
infact the igbos should stop seeing Jaja as Igbo anymore, he swore before the spirits, cleansed his blood, renounce his ancestry and tribe, even his name to be JUBO JUBOGHA.
that alone is big prove that the ijos were the owners, lord and master of the Igbos, and bonny.


captain8 Putindbutt ditaridesciple2
how about we think of names to rename our slaves?

I earlier renamed Ekealterego OTONYE DOMOKUMA
9pluto, SlayerForever Igboid biafrarep bkayy needs to be renamed ASAP.
we need to enculturate them like our ancestors did.
those clowns are yet to say anything every since I asked them those questions up there.
they probably might have drowned or something, or who knows the lies they are trying to concort in their Den of thievery.
they're really working hard in their mischievous WhatsApp group.

Go and meet Mary and question her whether she took permission from you before starting her Igboness. Majority Opobo identify as Opobians. You’ll hardly hear them say something else.
And please when did Mary Data Uranta stated her Igboness. Show proof.

lol, they keep cumming hard whenever they see their masters from the ijo Ethnic nation.
they don't even know Opobo (Opubo) was renamed after King Opubo of Bonny.

I ask them again, why was there an enculturating ritual where igbos are renamed and enculturated into the ijo tribes by a master who bought them when they claim igbos owned Bonny they went mute.

for over 24 hours, I didn't see any quoting on the question, I felt the thread has been closed.
I went to check and saw the page had flown from 40something to 60 something.

I am still wondering why anyone is unable to realise that these places are concoctions and imaginary. They look like mere geographic expressions to me ( evil imagination in high places).

If in doubt lets review his identity: "Gbaramatu Clan in Warri South West LGA in Southern Ijaw LGA of Bayelsa in Delta State"

Does this even make sense? Looks shady and fraudulent.
Perhaps the only thing shady and fraudulent is your existence.

Take a look at your name EzeCanada.

An Igbo King in Canada?.

Isn't this fraudulent and shady?

I sleep well at night, Opobians and their king sleeps well too knowing that they have affirmed their Ijawness.

The only people having nightmares are people like you and your goons who wants to forcibly identify them as Igboid.

You can't tell a man where he is from if he already knows where he is from.

Opobians knows their true identify.

Trash, how about this below.
King Jaja have always affirmed his Igbo roots in every Ahiajoku gathering. His majesty the King has never missed the gathering of kinsmen since it's establishment. This particular Ahajioku festival & lecture series was held in 2019.
How many Ijaw cultural gathering does King Dandeson attend? A youtube video to chop money from Ijaw INC pipeline vandals is not a guarantee that Dandeson will suddenly loose trace to his roots.

Let's assume he said he is Ijaw , but , does he know his history.

Sometimes ago , the Dein of Agbor warned his subjects to stop speaking Igbo and dressing like them. But his name is Ikenchukwu Keagborekuzi.....also , he doesn't speak Agbor /Ika and lived all his life abroad.

Guess what , again; lol....he told his people to desist from speaking Ika , his own language.

As you can see , these useless traditional rulers could be swayed by sentiments or money.

Imagine being told to stop speaking your language based on a false narrative. That is why we need to put all this out there because most of them don't even know.

@Slayerforever, do the needful asap.
What are you putting out there?.. Hugh Crow's inferences?. A slave merchant who was a captain of one of the largest human vessels that ever sailed on the Atlantic.
According to the OP, over 900,000 ibo slaves alone were shipped off the coast, little wonder he took a special curiosity in the ibos.

It was quoted in one of the snippets that the ibos were said to be relatable to the slave merchants. It tells why Crow would be more fondly of the ibos than other tribes of Bonny.


He even took out time for a long list of ibo women, trust me, he would have had a swell time drilling the juice out of his sex slaves in cold nights on the sea.
