Igboid:


Ijaw country in this sense meant "riverine terrain".
Never did Glynn imply that Ijaws were there first.
He explicitly deduced that Igbo Aboriginals were far away from Igbo hinterland in Bonny and had to depend on Riverine Ijaw neighbors for wives, likewise Efik and Edoid ancestors of New Calabar and Brass respectively.
That was how Ijaw gained ground those places.

You're claiming it is Okoloama. Just like you say about aminadokiari. And Opoboama instead of Ama Opobo. Even Amanyanabo is Ama onye nabo. So continue beating about the bush while our people in Bonny continue to be awakened.

Alabo7978:

Lol...it's now I know you all don't even know the meaning of those lingua.
Just look at how clownish you seem.
Aminadokiari doesn't actually mean "ama" nadokiari
Lol, and you felt you made sense.
Aminadokiari means (we are looking for our brothers)
Ama means settlement.
They are different.
This f**l why are you like this?
If you don't know about anything, just ask.
Okoloama
Opubo-ama
Krakraama

Aboneama
Kolokuama
And hundreds of ama in ijo Ethnic space all tally.
Tell me thank you for enlightening you and those other 3 block heads.


And by the way, what is this ama onye na bo nonesense you all have been gibbering about?

JANK23H:

Please expantiate on "riverine terrain" I don't know the meaning.I could have checked Google,but I don't know how to.

Between Oguta in Imo state, Bonny and Ado-Ekiti,which of these are "riverine terrain"?Maybe I'll understand better.

Igboid:


Glynn made a hypothesis that Ijaw as a language in Brass, New Calabar (Kalabari) and second language of Bonny, was likely a latter infiltration of those non Ijaw groups by Ijaws through marriage!

You now left the meat of his postulate and started looking for a straw man argument on the use of the phrase "Ijaw country", when Glynn had already by his hypothesis placed Ijaw and Ijaw language as latter day Intruders into those communities.

Are you okay at all?

JANK23H:

Oga answer the question!
That phrase is important to that "hypothesis".

Also very good you used "hypothesis".

JANK23H:

Ask him,how come it's only Bonny of all the communities/villages in Igbo land that call their king "ama Onye na bo"

Igboid:


It's a logical Hypothesis.
Since both the ancestors and early settlers in Bonny, New Calabar, Okirika and Brass admitted to their original non Ijaw Origin, and out of the four, only Bonny seem to have managed to hold unto it's Aboriginal Igbo Language, while the Igbo language of New Calabar, Okirika (except in pockets like Okujagu, Ama Ndubisi, Ogan ama where Igbo Language survived and in Abuloma where the proto Ibibiod language survived) were lost. They seem to have totally lost their original mother tongue and had them surplanted by Ijaw one.
Glynn made a rational deduction that to change a mother tongue that drastic, you would have needed to change the mothers over a long period of time.

This argument was never about whether Bonny original Aboriginals were Igbo speakers, the people themselves told Glynn they were originally Igbos, so that fact was already established!
The only reason Glynn was making this hypothesis was to explain how Bonny became Bilingual in Igbo and Ijoid language, while New Calabar, Brass and Okirika totally lost their original language to Ijaw infiltration.

I read all of those above, and it is true there is internal strife in Bonny just as in any other clan or kingdom. warri has been there, even Nembe too has been there, Lagos and it's obaship has been there, the emirdom in Kano involving sanusi and ado bayero has been there too, so what is the noise all about?
what sort of us*less people are you all? are you all this jobless?
leave the kingdom to sort out their internal strife, you all should do same in your various communities in Igbo land.
I was shock to see posts from you people even dating back to 2009,2011 etc (I never even write waec sef) and I came to realise you all are old f**ls who are jobless but are busy constituting nuisance and propaganda. is it because there are no jobs In Nigeria?
can't you all join the Nigerian police or Army, or navy or airforce? anything...just stop being this jobless for crying out loud. you all even go as far as infiltrating groups on Facebook and comment nonesense so you'll come back here to screenshot it and celebrate like jobless f**ls.

hahhahahaha dunder-head!

a "curlew" is called "igoloma/ugoloma In Igbo dialect of Ngwa/Ndoki Clan..

According to oral documentations alagbari-nye was Igbo of ngwa/ndoki clan who came from the Igbo hinter-land and settled/founded bonny Island. apparently from all indications Ugoloma was corrupted/mis-spelt to okoloma by the whites...

If the Ijaw claims of being one of the oldest tribes to settle at the coastal part of Nigeria in delta/bayelsa estuaries and coast they would have had a name for the curlew, as okolo in ijaw dialect simply means "roosting."
popularly known as chicken and chickens don't fly.!


1) If truly the settlement was called OKOLOAMA by the ijaws, the europeans weren't too dull to have omitted the "Ama" prefix from the word.

Ajayi crowther recorded it as okoloma not okolo-ama

two other european explorers before also recorded it as okoloma and not okolo-ama.

So my question to you Alabo is what is a curlew called in ijaw language? because okolo in ijaw simply means rooster.

In Igbo land every bird of the sky has a name

Eagle - ugo

curlew - ugoloma

vulture - udene

hawk - Egbe

pigeon- nnunu

E.t.c

from all indications from the research, ugoloma ( curlew) was christined to okoloma. As the founder of bonny island was of Igbo and Ngwa/Ndoki stock.

Alabo7978:

You no get sense, forgetting I also understand the Igbo DIALECT.
Ugoloma is that bird that is black but has a white chest and looks like it wears singlet. That aside.

You no get sense at all.

The okoloma you hear is a phrase not the meaning of the bird curlew.
Okolo is curlew.
The "ma" at the end means "fly"
Curlew fly away =okolo'ma.
In Nembe my own dialect we call curlew okolain,
The ma at the end simply means "fly"
Your concorted lies does not add.
Stop displaying your foolery here.

It is also known as Okolo-ama (curlew-town)
Okolo like I said before means curlew, ama means town
Hence
Okolo-ama.
Wether OKOLOMA
OKOLOAMA

it's still the name of the town.

And as for ndoki, go and ask the Ndoki people about their ancestry, they'll tell you they are ijaw.
My Igbo maternal grandfather also knows about the full name aminadokiari, one of my in-laws is an ndoki man who I interviewed on Christmas Eve if he is truly ijaw by ancestry and he said yes(I even wrote an article about it) but you wouldn't believe, so I have a screenshot of an ndoki person in their group on Facebook. Enjoy ..
