pazienza:
Amanyanabo is not Ijaw. Pere is Ijaw.
Bonny was founded by Igbo ancestors, this very truth was told by the inhabitants the colonials met on the Island and was recorded for posterity.

Perekule was an ancestor of ijaw who founded the dynasty of bonny and opobo. His descendants are the ruiling houses governing both bonny and opobo while Amayanabo is the title of the kings. it is interesting that none of you guys are not denying jaja was an ibo slave brought from ibo hiterland to serve his ijaw masters in bonny. why was he named jaja while his ibo name thrown away?, does jaja sound ibo?, can ibos take a slave and rename him an ijaw name?

You don end everything ma bro . The mumu no go come back here again

End wetin?, i dare you to celebrate ibo day in bonny and opobo if una get liver.

Agaba of Jumbo House Masquerade Cultural Club of Bonny.
See them proudly in their Isiagu Attire.

Oko Jumbo was also an ibo slave in bonny. was it a mistake that ijaws embraced ibo slaves into their ruiling houses?. Ijaws were only being magnanimous. Every ruiling house is a dynasty of king Perekule.

RobbStark:
Wonders they say shall never end.
So you mean to say when the kalabaris and okrikans address their king as Amayanabo, they are wrong and it must be Perekule, really?? Ibo man wan teach me my culture.
And for the record, bonny, Opobo and other land you guys may want to claim don't share the same culture with you Igbos.
The only thing common btw is is the religion we practise, nothing else.
Before you continue foaming in the mouth, I am from Opobo Town and believe me we don't share your culture.
We don't do yam festivals, we don't do August meetings, we don't have market days like you do, we are mostly fishing people.
Yes there are people who speak the Igbo language in Opobo that doesn't make the kingdom Igbo, no nah.
I mean, the most west Africans speak French, has that changed them, have they become french citizens??

Enof of these claims every day here on nairaland and now on twitter. Enof of it.

cc Yujin, ijaws will flog you silly in opobo.

Yujin:
The first king of Bonny was Alagbarinye and after him was Okpara Ndoli. I guess these names are Ijaw names.
Here it was also stated by European explorers that the Ibanis/Ubanis came from the interior Igbo country to found Bonny. The Ndokis are the rightful owners of Bonny. May this truth continue to choke you.

How come ijaws are in full control of bonny till date?, did the ijaws displace your kings and installed Amayanabo?.. mumu

Agulu fool

I swear na lamba go kill this agulu fraud. A small boy invited you as a special guest of honour to his school graduation, does that even make any sense?. Now the school has clarified there wasn't graduation but international day of boy child.

Ipob don run enter their hole.

Lol.

Yujin:
Here's a link of an earlier thread about Bonny on nairaland that showed with historical proofs the origin and later people's of Bonny. We all know how Opobo came to be.

Ijaws can never rewrite the history of the people. We have lots of european explorers that documented what they saw at Bonny back in the days.

Meanwhile, the author of this thread is Yeriba hater who thinks all the rubbish he is saying makes any sense. Don't take anything he writes seriously.

Try as much as you can, you can never rewrite history. Ijaws are the natives, ibos are settlers. Jaja himself was given the title by his ijaw masters, he was captured a slave from the hinterland in the east and sold to his ijaw masters. how possibly can a slave found the land of his master?. the ruiling houses from bonny to opobo were created by Amayanabo. facts are sacred.

Vischy:
No,Ibani is Yoruba language. l hope l have cleared you now, stupid boy.

You talking to your father, seems you have low mental capacity.

Vischy:
So how come they're ijaws? Stop contradicting yourself Mr man

When time comes they will join Biafra if you like don't focus on your life. Keep fooling yourself about people you know nothing about.

The natives speak ibani, ibani is ijaw language.

Vischy:
When Biafra finally emerges, everything will fall in place including Opobo, bonny,ika,ikwere and the rest of confused igboid groups.

Una go collect serious panel beating.

Vischy:
The only language spoken in Opobo and bonny is igbo. The culture is igbo. Food is igbo.

What else do you need to know that these people are igbos.

Ibani language is the language of the native, but ibo is the common language just like hausa in the north.

OfoIgbo:
In this ancient document, it clearly states that the kings of Bonny and Kalabari are of Igbo ancestry, so your point can't even make it past the first hurdle.

Read very well the first sentence on the screenshot. Captain Adams himself admitted that his opinion of the natives of Bonny was probable (not certain or definate). the native language of Bonny is ibani but people speak ibos predominantly because of trade. you can easily mistaken the natives as ibos. One can pardon the foreign man for mistaken identity.

chopnaira:
If all Igbos were like abagworo, there would be peace.

Except you touch Okorocha, since Okorocha collect small cane, he switched camp to opposition. when Obidients show face, he run inside.

Goodday90:

So there are rivers in iboland,I used to think that you guys believe there are no water bodies in Iboland

Water is different from water, that's why when we talking seaport, SE takes the backseat.
