Duuumbooo!
It was the "shorter notices" that was published under African Journals.

The shorter notices ended up warning the general public against Alagoa's fraud.

which universe publishes a "book" under "Journals"?

You are super dumbo, infact the dumbest of all time.

Every book has its own classification. Shorter notices" is a " type" of book in consideration.

I have told you several times that In your dumb mind, shorter notice doesn't mean warnings. Lol.
At least, a friend who writes a book could have explained to you & save you this show of shame. Even if you don't have a friend who writes books, you can go ask your lecturer in school.

On the website, Cambridge has it like this;

Type: Shorter notice

Information: The Journal of Africa history, Volume16, Issue 4, October 1975, pp. 639

On National library of Australia, they have as;
Type: book

Every book has its type & has its categorization.

Lastly, LATHAM'S review is entirely different, it is just his own personal opinion of the book. Reviewing is open, if you want to also review, go on the website and register as a member, then you can place your review under the book. You're so dumb.

I will stop replying you because I can't cope with how dumb you sound anytime you open your brain to quote me.

Ekealterego:
You are really not intelligent.

Anyone can write a book.50 Cent can write a book today and it will be hosted in the best libraries in the world, but the scholarly properties is a different matter.

Alagoa could or will not make that book into a scholarly journal for instance because as you can see it does not meet minimum requirements. I mean, he did not even reference properly nor make reference to original documents.
Even scholars who sight him make notes down to clarify that that is his own version of history and not the actual truth.

He cannot and never made the book into a journal, which is usually the dream of most scholars who write a thesis.

You're so dumb to see Cambridge classified his book under African Journals. You're even dumber than i thought.

Ekealterego:
Talk with small sense.... Did the person who raised the issue about UI not bring evidence of publications and all the scholarly sins Alagoa commited. Was it not published on Cambridge and Swansea? Didn't they call out UI in the mistake?

Strange you call the girl market woman talk, while you just literarily dumbed down the whole talk.

Pls, God gave you a brain for a use, if you cannot use it, then i'm sorry, I can't help you.

Google " the chronicle of Bonny by Alagoa". The results would give you lists of libraries where his book is available for sale.
Aside, Cambridge, the book is also available on worldcat, National library of Australia collection, Africa books Collective, Amazon,etc.whereby there is no such review.

The review of LATHAM was a personal opinion which does not affect the general acceptability of the book on several national & international libraries.
I'm beginning to doubt your literacy level. You talk like a school drop out.

University of Ibadan Press was the publishing company, therefore, its name has to appear on the book. There's no book anywhere in the world that is not published by a publishing company and every book carries the name of its publisher.

There has been no review on other platforms, if you want to review his book, go and register as a member like LATHAM did, so you can give your own opinion just as LATHAM did.

I'm taking my time to explain this much because i realized a lot of you are so dumb.

BKayy:
You can't even stand the lady.
She is not for your emotional outburst but facts. Counter her with facts not emotions.

Can you tell us what brought out the real wickedness in you people to attempt to wipe Bonny peoples identity, language and culture?
What exactly?
Thanks.

Do i blame you?
There's something about you guys that is not alright. Perhaps, a kind of sickness that can never get a cure.

Why can't you correct her foolish talks, seeing her talk down on the reputation of Ted talk like illiterate market women gossips. As foolishly as you were trying to bring the standards of UI into disrepute on the front page.

Just to satisfy your lies,fabrications, condescending narratives, you wouldn't care to tarnish the image of reputable institutions both home & abroad which your generations can never attain.

First, it was UI, now it is Ted talk & you wonder why sensible people see you as a fool.

ThickSharon123:
My dear, someone can bring a fake representative, or have an inner connection, in which he begged and begged and they'll give a slot on Ted Talk. Alogoa or Alagoa, biko, let me not type rubbish, knows the pedigree of TEd Talk, and knew if he talked there it could boost his career. But e no work.

Or Perhaps he had begged and convinced Ted Talks that his talk was worthy of being discussed and tried to showcase his brandishing ignorance to the world.
(All of these are made by perhaps, which has some great truth in them)
But the world were not having it, rather they treated his talk like a starter on YouTube trying to grow his followers. it says a lot.

Even TedTalk is wicked, they would have warned him to stop if they'd found his history.

PS: you don't like me because I'm not a proud Ijaw lady. ... Or supporting Ijaw. If I did you'll love me

But dear one, there are facts on paper and physically. These people speak Igbo and you're trying to force it out if them by talking down on their age long language and calling it a language of the slaves. Can you imagine?

Ted Talk?... U are sick.
You think Ted Talk is like your ummuna village council that you can bribe with kolanuts?

You just fond of opening your mouth and talk foolishly, very foolishly.

You can continue to share your foolish talks with your folks, among yourselves don't quote me again with your sick brain.

Empty head. The fact that he made an appearance on Ted shows he is intellectual. The fact that his speech was selected and posted on the website among other several speakers shows that he is very relevant among people that matters . Moreover, attendance demands large gross income than videos on blogs or website.

One of the reason i don't like this girl quoting me, it feels worse than a leper's touch. It show her head is just an exhibition of an empty box.

ThickSharon123:
If you have nothing to say, why don't you shut your Academic illiteracy and watch. ... You're trying to compare Cambridge to UI... Are you okay?

Cambridge that even disowned UI on her attempt to tort history. She had to do so becuase if every one is changing history, then what do we believe or what can we ever believe.

Someday, someone can wake up and change the bible too. So Institutions like Cambridge has to save the integrity for Future generation. Luckily, people like Crow were able to jot it down, rather than we relying on Oral history of our African ancestors. Nnu go?[/s]

, going by your profile, you’ve only been on NL for the second half of this year. So I’ll extend some grace to you, since it’s possible that you do not know my comments on this platform. As an extension of that grace, I’ll encourage you to go and read through a thread called The Extent of Alaigbo right here on NL. Feel free to browse for my contributions on this topic, and feel free to see the timestamp for when those contributions were made. Thanks.

Stop giving that thing the attention. She has nothing upstairs, only jumping around naked from one poster to another.

JANK23H, Oyatz, I'll reply your mentions tomorrow. I need to take care of something. Gud night bro.

Bkayyy:
This is the blackmail you people want to use to stigmatise the language a group speak with their own parents.
You have designed it in such a way that they can't boldly answer the name their parents call them outside of their house.

But I assure you, Bonny, Bom and Okirika will be the end of your schemes. They are born warriors and will resist your advances to the end. Bad news for you pirates, their kins have come to their rescue.

Is there anything you have ever won?. Name just one, i dare you.

Vintagepipes:
......Bro, I hope you are not vision impaired.

...... I can clearly see Itu, Ekunakuna and they were not acknowledged as Igbos

.......and they are minorities living close to the Igbos.

.......I hope it's not what I am thinking.

See as e heavy for your mouth. Just 2 out of a lot?
Need i remind you that efik & the Calabar neighbors sold ibos off as slaves. So, there is a clear distinction in that regard.

Bkayyy:
From evidences, including the snippets that is acknowledged by Alabo7978 which featured the Nembe dialect Baikie met when he toured Nigeria. The dialect he later compared with Isuama dialect. The evidence that proves beyond reasonable doubt that Nembe indigenes then spoke in Igbo.

By the way, which minority are you talking about?
Are you talking about the same Minorities that are currently committing Cultural Genocide on the people of Bonny?
The same minority that changed the name of someone's ancestor from Pepple to Perekule?
The same Minority that once challenged the legal existence of Opobo?
The same minority that is blackmailing the indigenes of Bonny, Opobo and Bom (New Calabar) by attaching a stigma to their Igbo heritage?

The minority that have conditioned the indigenes of Nembe to second fiddle and is now advocating to totally eradicate the origins and culture of Bonny people?

The minority that is doing this below?

Nembe is now the new grab.
The eyes of land grabbers are now fully shifted on Nembe.

By the time una grab all tribes of Niger delta, una body go rest. It was not a crime that the forefathers of the minorities learned ibo language for trading purposes and name their children after ibo as friendly gestures, only if they knew that ibos would operate a manual decades down the line. But i promise you, una don fail.

JANK23H:
I know Binaowei,that's what they hold on to.I stated it severally on this platform that a lot of minority tribes were and still are classified as Igbos.I have been called Igbo on so many occasions.Some European writers made alot of these mistakes,and these people are holding on to it.

Until they they get to the ground and amongst the people before they realize their folly.

It is a shame, moreso, a big fraud to think such a thing among the minorities who clearly have their own histories. This fraud did not start with the modern generation of ibos but it was the manual that was handed to them by the whites.
Have you noticed that ibos would label you ibo just because you bear an ibo name or remotely have a similar dialect as any of the ibo dialects.

Take a look at the snippet below, what do you discover?

The whites had done a great disservice to the minority tribes of the Niger delta by classifying a lot of the tribes as ibo. I would be less harsh on the whites for the fact that they lacked the understanding of the unique dialectical and geographical distribution of many tribes of the Niger delta, thereby wrongfully lumping together a lot as being ibos.
Ibos started began leaving the hinterland through slavery and then after, heavy migration to settle among many tribes of the Niger delta. By their huge population concentration, ibos could easily submerged, overwhelm & greatly influence their host minorities. Little wonder, many of their surrounding neighbors with whom they share boundaries are heavily influenced and most times, acculturated.

The submission of the author in No72 is a great injustice against the minorities who clearly have their own distinct identities different from the ibos. Ibos spoken by a great number of tribes does not & never will make them ibo. It is only circumstantial that ibos are spoken, often times, adopted by these tribes. Sometimes, as a second language. The large number of ibos in the Niger delta gives ibos undue advantage and commanding influence over tribes with smaller numbers.

oyatz:
Academic reviews of published books are like suggestions to improve the books in subsequent editions.

This review complained the author ought to have expanded his sources of information instead of limiting it to Prof Fombo's work. It also complained of inadequate referencing of the pictures, which is expected of an academic publication.

It did NOT point out any falsification of earlier published works.
It didn't mention anything about Igbo at all, let alone whether it's for or against Igbo, so why crying wolf when none exist?

You can help translate to ibo language. Maybe it would sink in their brains.

ebufa:
you have finally landed now! ''a mere chronicle and a bare one for that matter indeed" ....and of course copiously infused and peppered with Dr. Alagoa's personal biases and prejudices......see we know where the bodies are buried, you infernal sea nomads and tooth filers! bloody land grabbers.

You're a clown. You guys have lost it completely.

Ekealterego:
A. J H Latham is not just "a personal opinion". Maybe you should Google him, his role, his team, the department at Swansea and how influential they are in the field of Economic history. Maybe you should Google the process of "PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC REVIEW.. and stop yapping like an illiterate.


This whole process is like explaining what offside is to a non-football follower.

You don't need to tell me about him. The fact that he works with University of Swansea doesn't mean he can't have a personal opinion of a work.
There's nothing linking Alagoa's work to University of Swansea review team/committee, absolutely nothing!.
And also, there's nothing scientific about the review, absolutely nothing!

You guys are just a bunch of clowns
Ibos have been lying way too much on this forum, the more you are bursted, the more you come up with more lies. una no dey shame?

OfoIgbo:
Nwokem, deal with the pillorying that Alagoa got from reputable educational institutions, and stop landgrabbing.

Your landgrabbing champion's scholarly work has been severally rubbished by his educated peers and you are here foaming in the mouth

No institution gave any review of Alagoa's work. The reviewer gave his personal opinion. His name is A. J LATHAM and he was talking for himself alone. You guys are really embarrassing the rest of your tribe.

Ekealterego:
Lying just like your fraudfessor. JSTOR does not archive fraudulent books. I have unlimited access to literature on JSTOR and JSTOR is a leader in that sector. It was through Jstor that I got the information about Alagoa's ignoble fraud.
You lying grinch. You have changed the narrative... Weren't you the one spinning falsehood against Cambridge for selling that Alagoa#s work of fiction.

See this lying scum. when does a review by A.J LATHAM become the opinion of Jstor?

That was A.J LATHAM's personal opinion which does not however belong to that of University of Swansea or that of Jstor.


Be like say mkpurummiri never clear for una eye, make i help u repost what is on Cambridge website. The book dey sell like hot akara.


Here is on Cambridge website: selling @ $3.50

A Chronicle of Grand Bonny. By E. J. Alagoa and A. Fombo. Ibadan University Press, Nigeria, 1972. Pp. ix + 134. $3.50.

Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 January 2009

Ekealterego:
JSTOR archives reputable academic works... So, JSTOR also published the special notice, just in case the scheming fake professor which his work was described as.

"....written by a local historian who
had not been trained at a University..."

This is the most intelligent Ijaw man for that matter.

Go & take a seat and stop pontificating.
JSTOR is a digital archives on academic journals. Started off in 1995, has not more than 3000 selected journals so far. I don't even want to talk about how recent JSTOR is or how little 3000 is.

So, show me anywhere Jstor referenced Alagoa work in its archives much less gave a review. I bet you don't know what Jstor is. How many works of Nigeria academics are archived by Jstor?
You just pick on Jstor & started lying on them.

Ekealterego:
Spiner of yarn.

Where is Cambridge university press selling a book that Ibadan University Press published?

What Cambridge publish is the special notice in their published African history journal.

Lying scum!

1. I repeat, you're a lying scum. So, if i publsh an hard copy in a publishing company, does that restrict me from selling it digitally?.. don't be dumb bro.


2. A short notice is an information based on time limits. I went through the site once more and discovered it was nothing to do with Alagoa's book but for another publication on African journal. A short notice has nothing to do with fraudulent warnings. It is all a fabrications in your head.

Here is on the website: selling @ $3.50

A Chronicle of Grand Bonny. By E. J. Alagoa and A. Fombo. Ibadan University Press, Nigeria, 1972. Pp. ix + 134. $3.50.

Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 January 2009

OfoIgbo:
If it was just about the Chronicles of Grand Bonny, how then was Ijaw being mentioned in a book about Grand Bonny? Why did he COMPLETELY SUBMERGE Mr. Fombo's manuscript.

Before I carry on, I believe it will be a good idea for core Igbos to get hold of Mr. Fombo's manuscript. There are points in it that Alagoa wished submerged.

For a scholarly work by Alagoa to earn this line, backed by University College of Swansea WHAT IS WORSE IS THAT THE NEW TEXT IS NEITHER VERY SCHOLARLY NOR VERY INTERESTING. This totally calls into question, Alagoa's scholarly pedigree.

How did the chronicling of Grand Bonny, all of a sudden turn into a land-grabbing effort, to the extent that the core manuscript which is the main source of information on Grand Bonny was COMPLETELY IGNORED?
But rather, Alagoa chose to use secondary sources, with the full intention of elevating details in those secondary sources, to completely achieve the obscuring and submerging on the principal source of information for Grand Bonny.

Alagoa and University of Ibadan cannot wriggle their way out of this major scholarly volte face.

Read, boy. Don't allow your parents money goes to waste. Stop talking like an mkpurummiri addict.
If you don't understand something, ask questions. Stop following the herd mentality. You can read but too slow to understanding. dis wan just dey follow the bandwagon.

9Pluto:
Perhaps, we should title the post:

Ijaw noble laureates plaque of academic excellence.

What do you say?

Forward your suggestions to Cambridge University who are selling his book.

Alagoa, the nightmare of ibos

Ekealterego:
Guy stop feigning ignorance or talking dumb. I thought you said you read a lot?

This is academic work.. An academic peer review. Alagoa passed his work as an academic writing/work, thus the heavy criticism by international academic heavy weights.

If he took his book to the jokes or fiction section, no one will raise an eyelid.

Look at how he was disgraced. He was termed as roadside historian.

What he did was fraudulent and a big sin in the academic world, and especially in that field.

Cambridge, JSTOR and Swansea moved the book to fiction section where the book rightly belongs.

See this liar

What business has JSTOR have got to do with this?
Your trash are just new every passing day.

9Pluto:
It is obvious you have problems with English comprehension. Take that post to whoever taught you English and ask the person to explain it to you. I won't waste precious time to compensate for your woeful education.

If you are still not satisfied, ask Prof to frame it and hang on his wall since it deserves an accolade in your warped thinking.

Shut da fook up. I'm ordering the download from Cambridge website. Mr. English, go & educate Cambridge on the meaning of fraudulent, so that they would stop selling his book on their website. Maybe your efforts may earn you an honorary degree from the institution.

Your heads have been conditioned to hate, little wonder a simple review becomes a death sentence on your enemies.
The man in question even worked with the original owner of the manuscript- Prof.fombo & had to tag him as a co-author. so, where's the fraud or alteration?. But i don't know why ibos want to kill themselves over nothing.

Biafrarep:
[s]You're doing a great job in bringing to awareness, years of blatant falsehoods and ridiculous attempts at rewriting history that was championed by one fraudulent ijaw ethnic irredentist. However, we need to take this awareness beyond nairaland. Facebook and Twitter are the two platforms we must take this awareness to so we can capture more audience, particularly the enlightened elites of Opobo and Bonny.

At this point, we already have enough facts and evidences to take up ijaw landgrabbing goons, including their chief instigator, Alagoa.

If alagoa is afraid of coming out in the open to confess why he tried to commit such sacrilege on the aborigines of Opobo and Bonny, then we will have to take the debate to him! Doesn't he have social media accounts? We must confront him now he is still alive!![/s]

Go and Sue Alagoa to court. Demand that his professorship be withdrawn and also ask national and international libraries to deregister all his books from their archives. wailers.

ivolt:
Where is the fraud allegation in that review?

The reviewer is disappointed that a chronicle was written like a chronicle.

It is what it is, only ibos trying to twist his words here.
"As the title suggests, it is a chronicle, and a bare one.

Ekealterego:
Brother, this is not just a review, it was a special notice academically sponsored, Cambridge published and University of Swansea backed rejection of a fraud.

The book was about Bonny, which at that time became a tool for propaganda rather than true academic work.

Going through its one by one

1. University of Swansea and Cambridge University thought this was a roadside and hungry beer parlour historians that wrote the history about Bonny.

This is a very disappointing little book. On picking it up I thought that
Ibadan University Press had taken the enterprising step of publishing a history
of one of the most important Niger delta towns, written by a local historian who
had not been trained at a University.

2. Here, it states that Algoa falsified the original manuscript and history with his own fantasies.

I hoped and assumed that Dr Alagoa's
contribution would be restricted to scholarly annotation, and perhaps a separate
comment. But instead, Mr Fombo's manuscript, originally acquired by Professor
Anene in I963 and now in the Africana Collection of the University of Ibadan,
has been completely submerged by Dr Alagoa's new text.

3. Alagoa being a fraud again rewriting history and replacing academic history with his own falsification. A serious academic crime
What is worse is that
the new text is neither very scholarly nor very interesting. As the title suggests,
it is a chronicle, and a bare one. There is virtually no attempt at interpretation
at all, just a sequence of kings and events.

4. Alagoa failed to use references (Biggest academic sin) and decided not to use original history

The references which are made are mostly to secondary sources, and almost completely ignore the main source for
the Niger coast, F.O. 84 (Slave Trade).
There are no references given for the photographs, a characteristic regrettably common in Nigerian histories. Thus
this book does little but reveal the need for a proper history of Bonny, a worth-while project for which there is abundant material. In it, this chronicle will deserve a footnote. In the meantime, Ibadan University Press could consider giving us Mr Fombo's original text. Then perhaps they could follow it up with the work of other local historians such as E. N. Amaku of Calabar.

5. In case you don't understand, Alagoa was fraudulently replacing some key people, names and ethnicity with his own. That is what they meant by "bowdlerize".

But let us have the original script intact, before the scholars bowdlerize it out of recognition.


In summary, Bonny's history was fraudulently rewritten by Alagoa. What a shame! They called him a roadside historian while committing academic sin.

Lying scum, Cambridge University has his book still selling on its website. And the man was not speaking for University of Swansea, he was just a member of staff speaking out his observations in his personal opinion

The rest of your trash, I have earlier addressed it.

chiefobdk2:
The review said university of ibadan press changed the original words or alagao to favour a certain narrative.. Thats why he was demanding the original manuscript

ibo and lies are like 5&6.
