You want to take Ijaw land?
Igbos have never been riverine. They lived in the hinterland amidst thick forests

Like I said when Ndoki is ready we present our evidence, ijaws present their evidence

We let the works court judge it's no big deal

Igbos and ijaws have lived side by side from opobo to Bonny to Kalabari to okrika

The igbo speaking parts of okrika and the igbos in Kalabari are of Ikwerre extraction.. The day the Ikwerre wants them we igbos would be with them

DNA analysis won't lie, documents of first Europeans saying who they met wont lie

Excavation of long buried people and testing their DNA wont lie too

Lol, but the children of hate from the region of fallen demon and rusted roofs claimed they were still living on trees then.

I wonder how an entire tribe could be so hateful to the extent their parents had to teach them how to hate as culture.

I spit on them!

Ikwerre have said they are not Igbo but a Benin subgroup.
Opobo and it's environs is documented to belong to Ijaws for ages.
The British interacted with the Ijaws and Itshekiri when they first arrived at the shore. They met the Igbos in the forests.

That bride is very beautiful

How many of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren are still prominently adding value to our country instead of being in the diaspora making oyinbo places even more attractive to the next set of japarians

Fix your country, provide basic facilities of life eg light/ housing/ security, punish your criminal politicians raping the country violently, provide enabling business environment, eradicate ethnicity/ bigotry/ religious extremity, encourage the youth by providing entrepreneurial facilities/ employment to them to contribute to Nation building, reward hard work , punish egunje and saboteurs etc to some extent, all l have enumerated answers your questions

sammirano:
Why una dey lie? you people were butt naked at this date

exactly all i am seeing here are naked people

Igwenga is not Opobo. Opobo has always been Opobo and has no other name.
Igwenga was another trading settlement established by King Jaja on the other side of the Imo river (present day Akwa Ibom). I'll consult my sources for more accuracy.

That should be (IKOT ABASI) perhaps that is how the Igbos called the area in their language.
We here in Akwa Ibom have our own names in our dialect we usually refer to others .
No big deal.
Is it?

Have anyone noticed that people of this era till the late early 70s have small breasts and tin figure lith no fat belly and big butts

Indeed you have answered very well.

Were the 1931 celebrants not Nigerians such that their descendants are also Nigerians

This is unbelievable...have you been relieved of your job attacking Obi and ibos , So soon?

While you are continuing in your unenviable career of inciting the Igbos against the Yorubas on Nairaland.

More grease to your elbow ma.

Did you notice how Opobo and Aba had one representative and how Egwenga (Igwenga) was a name also used for Opobo.

DID YOU ALSO NOTICED HOW ETCCETERA WAS USED AT THE END.
WHAT DOES IT SHOW?

My previous answers also applies to the 1931 celebrants and invariably their descendants / future descendants

I don't think Ndoki people are ready to go that road right now. However they will always regard opobo and bonny as brothers and they speak the same language. The Nigerian government did Ndoki people dirty by sharing them into 3 states.

Who be this one Abag? You don't have sense, Who told you Egwenga and Opobo are the same place. they are several communities that make up Opobo including Egwenga Now in ikot Abasi. (Opobo town (Wealthy Town), kalaibiama (Small Fine Town), Epelema, Minima, Kalasunju, Ekereborokiri, Kampa, Iloma, Abazibie, Queen-Ama (Queens Town). Opukalama. and Several other small settlements.

When there was still modesty and decncy.

I can See a lot of people especially Igbos who don't know the relationship between Opobo, Bonny and Ndoki People talking trash here. Opobo is an Offshoot of Bonny... The bonny people and Ndoki people are different people who had good trade relationship, Bonny being a wealthy place that hosted the European and super cargoes ships attracted lots of People including the igbos... just like it is today in Lagos and PH where you see a lots of igbos moving in daily. Ndoki was a slave market and the Riverine-Ijaw chiefs were Slave merchant who got their Goods (Human slaves mainly from the igbo Extract). Some of these slaves were encultured into the ibani Culture by cleansing and Change of Name. Some were sold). Things Changed at the abolition of Slave trade, this was replaced by Palm oil trade and bulk of it came from the Azumini/Ndoki Axis, Ibeno/Eket.

This was wen the devil has no hold on wedding interm of dressing.

The picture attached is definitely not a 1931 image.

Go to the Caribbean and US and Claim the land and people because their DNA says they are of Igbo Decent. We are not igbos, even though we bought and accommodated Igbos and the Osu you sold to us.

A careful analysis of the wedding picture doesn't show that it's in tandem with 1931 dress culture. For years now, I've seen and studied a lot of worldwide photographs in the archives from the 1800s to the 1980s and there is a distinct flavor of dressing in each decade (with some hairstyles and dress styles reappearing decades later though)... The mini-skirts and mini-dresses of the 1960s to the 1970s, made a resurgence in the late 1990s to the 2000s for example. The classic "Oleku," a popular Yoruba mini-wrapper or midi-wrapper with the buba top of the 1970s also made a fantastic come back in the 2000s.

I love these kinds of historic stories but MORE information is needed on how Premium Times got that wedding picture to ensure that they do NOT end up spreading FABRICATED news that other wannabe bloggers end up copying.

and you believe that fairytale story? Lol . The first people the British met when they arrived were the ibibios then the igbos not long after. Both were living together as at that time. The British called the ibibios outer ibos. As for opobo and Bonny, I agree it's ijaw land originally, but then igbos took over due to their larger population as a result of slave trade

Apart from that little girl who might be a great grand mother today, every other beauty on that picture are surely dead today.

Life will happen to everyone of us.
