Investigative:
[s]This Ikwere confusion was a cunning construct of the British tondilute and water down Igbo strength and control after they suffered harshly in the hands of Jaja of Opobo.

Before then, the entire South Sourh was 60-70 % Igbo all the way to Bonny. Bonny has a string Indigenous Igbo people. Even Ijaw and Bayelsa. All of Port Harcourt, etc.

Now what is divide and rule?

Divide and rule is a cunning way of making inciting hatred among blood brothers so as to cause infighting and suspicion and thereby weaken them

If you do not know...the entire Igbo land..from Nsukka I to Kogi..from Ebonyi into Calabar..Ikom, Akamkpa, Bonny, Omoku, PH, Kalabari, are largely Igbos who had different migratory routes. Just as you have the Obigbo region mainly guys from Imo River areas, etc.

The Brits smartly would lie to everyone that Igbos are domineering and all what not, to make them hate each other and fight themselves.

Also the psychological effect of slavery and civil war.

When you're being killed bevmcause of your name..you have to change it to survive.

It happened in the Mid West where the Igbemudia, and others who are Igbos of Ika ancestry suddenly said they're not Igbos. Even Ukwuani,l who are clearly Igbos, Some parts of Benin, and Agbor..umunnede who's Igbo origins are even stringer than those in Enugu would all wake up and deny their identity.

Remember in those days there were no boundaries as such. Groups of persons can wake up and travel to a foreign empty land and begin to farm and fish. Al these confusion was created by the Brits to dilute the strength of a United Igbo nation.

Records would shock you to discover that Igbos are the largest number of ethnic Africans in the entire world. We're everywhere. Even in Panya. Guinea. Almost ubiquitous. The ones suffering from shame and identity is just transient cos once the rise of Igbo happens again, they'd all come rushing back to claim their place as sons of the soil.

Don't worry yourself so much about their amnesia. They know who they are. They know they're Igbos.[/s]

Bonny n Opobo are Ijaw territories. Nothing you write here or say here wud change that.
Bonny n Opobo don't bear Ibo names, their villages don't have Ibo names.
They address their king as Amanyanabo and not Eze or Obi.
Bonny n Opobo people are good swimmers, ibos are scared of water.
Jaja was an Ibo man.....Yes
Jaja named the town he found Opobo, was that an Ibo name....,No
Jaja has children....Yes, do they have Ibo names...No
Is there any Ibo youth group in bonny or opobo, No.
Is there Ijaw youth groups in bonny n Opobo, Yes.
Do Bonny n Opobo people see themselves as ibo, No.
Do they see themselves as Ijaw...Yes
Has the OP seen any Ibo man from bonny or Opobo.....No. Cos no such person exist.

In conclusion, Bonny n Opobo territories are Ijaws.

I knew it.
And some ipob miscreants here like slayerforever, bkayy, etc want me to believe Ojukwu is a hero.

Ojukwu was a coward and a unity begger.
He just wasted the lives of those who foolishly followed him.
Ojukwu only has power where Boro was.
He started something he cudnt stay and finish.
Coward

May thunder strike all ipob miscreants in this forum.

Ekealterego:

Robbstark is from Bayelsa. However, he will kill himself just to have superior DNA in his system.

The Ijaws hardly commits suicide.
I can't kee myself when I know the truth which is Opobo n bonny are Ijaw territories.
It is you guys who want to kee yourselves to own those places cos of sea route.

Your elites aren't saying anything cos they know it's a dead end trying to claim it.
You guys here are miscreants who know nothing about those lands.
But continue.
I am enjoying the circus
Clowns

Ekealterego:

Robbstark is from Bayelsa. However, he will kill himself just to have superior DNA in his system.

Ijaws matter dey give you guys sleepless nights ooo with all these useless threads upandan.
But you all have failed just like the con artist in detention, just like Ojukwu and those that came after him.

Make una rest.
It's not by force to be in the same country with y'all

Liebermantic:

Truly, you're not from Bonny

Did I tell you I am from Bonny??

I am from Opobo and I am Ijaw.
When are guys showing me someone who has said he is Ibo and from Opobo or Bonny.

Are there no nlands from Opobo or Bonny in this section.

Continue fooling yourselves here, the Ijaws own those places and there is nothing you say here can change that.

All I know is that 2weeks from now, all these noises will fade out and una go dey alright

Liebermantic:

Check the names Bonny people bear before 1967..The Ijaw picture was possible through Ijaw Governors In 1967, riding on Igbophobic tendency

Bonny n Opobo people are Ijaws.
Why not mention some of the names here of they were ibos.

Y'all shud continue winning online, the real winners are already in the lands.

Ekealterego:

Says a mosquito-infested Bayelsa swamp dweller. You only occupy those 4 LGAs in the most uninhabitable, abandoned areas in the South. Know this and know peace.

The only thing you idiots have a hold on is the fact that some of them speak Ibo, aside that, nothing connects you with Opobo or Bonny.

I am yet to see you come up with some of the names the people of ibani or ibani answer as regards their roots Ibo according to you.

Name one Ibo person you know from Opobo or Bonny and stop foaming in the mouth.
Until then, don't quote me to your useless post that changes nothing on ground

ThickSharon123:
Hi!

Well, I've been on social media for a long while now, and I've been seeing this Ijaw nationalism on claiming their lost lands from God knows who.

They've made up several post that Igbo conquered lands to Igbo were slaves to these set of independent lands that it begs ignoring. (But this answer begs the question, which tribe was spared in slave trade, please tell me?)

Now, to the topic of Ijaw nationalism. If the Ijaws are so great and superb as the concort, then why answer British names, the same tribal discrepancies you chide and make mockery of the great Igbos on. You hear names like, Stevenson Marriott, Nancy Collins, Sarah Hampson, most times it seems they want to turn to whites by force by fire. And it's good, if you feel it's good, it's good.

Secondly, you hear Ijaws saying the own all of the coast from Gambia to Angola. Haba!?? Okay, with all these coast what good are you doing with it? That's by the way, I've noticed Ijaws are somewhat braggarts, but in the most silliest of ways, check most of their thread on Nairaland, and you'll see them glorying theirselsves in selling Igbos, in which there's no document til date on an Ijaw merchant even touching an Igbo person, talk more selling them as slaves.

I guess it's because they passed their coast? That's the justification.

One lie that blew me off, was when one of their compatriots said, his grandmother bought so many Igbo slaves and married them to her sons and daughters. I was like, "These Ijaw people can lie oooo..Chine skirt!!!"

And so many lies and turning of history.

Now their main place of contempt is taking back the Apoi from Ondo, in which they outrightly claim are Ijaws to taking Opobo and Bonny lands, in which these peopt classify themselves as Ubani and Ibani. But attaché by force, you'll see Ijaws putting tags like, Ibani or Ubani-Ijaw and the likes. Most times, I've seen some saying Ibibio-ijaws and all that gibberish tags.

Ubani people, who are the Bonny and Opobo clearly speak Igbo, I'll love you dear, Nairalanders to head to the land yourself and check out things yourself. None of them speak low of themselves, they utter the language in their full right. But Ijaw wouldn't make these individuals rest, they are forcing them to speak the Ibani language by force by fire.

And do you know what? Do you know Ibani isn't an Ijaw dialect, it's pure Kalabari, but Ijaws love attaché.

I pity my mom's people, these Ijaws are the Fulani in the south, and they want to take over the coast, were no one gives them attention, they want that attention by force. And would do anything to have it. I heard they now have indigenous Ijaws in Lagos to Ondo, and it's countless.

Now, here is my sympathy for today, if you're Opobo or Bonny, be proud of who you are as an Ubani or Ibani person. No Igbos ever conquered you nor were Igbo slaves brought into the land to decimate or eliminate the fictional Ijaw culture.

Don't let Ijaw intimidate you becuase they've got the power to supervise the oil proceeds in the south. So, one word that you are this or that, then you're exited.

Don't let your forefathers squirm in their graves and curse the land becuase you allowed Ijaws belittle and initmaidate you easily.

Ever wondered when your forefathers were alive, that you never heard Ijaws in history books and all?
Well, here is the simple answer, Ijaws were bomboys then, helpers or as Yoruba would call it Omodo. They listened to every beck and call of your father's.

Still stand with that integrity.

#Ijaws and their entire lineage are nothing to you Opobo and Bonny people.

Do some of them speak Ibo?? Yes
Does that make them Ibo?? No
Do they bear Ibo names including their villages?? No
Why do they refer to them as Ibo?? Cos some speak Ibo.

Jaja founded Opobo, is Opobo an Ibo word ?? No.
Jaja has children, do they bear Ibo names No.
Has the OP seen any Ibo man from Opobo?? No.
Is there any Ibo man from bonny or Opobo?? No.
Do the ibos know how to swim?? The number is negligible.
Why are they after Bonny n Opobo??
They need sea route.

I am from Opobo, my name is Idawarifa, and I am not Ibo but Ijaw.

In summary, nothing you ibos say here or do can change the fact that bonny n Opobo are Ijaw lands.
All una noise ends here.
Win all the arguements online, we the Ijaws have been winning on land.
So make Una continue.

JANK23H:

You can see they are twisting everything.Even when their own excerpts show that Okoloma was named after the Curlew birds.

Me, I have known them since.
They are good at twisting wat they see or read.
They are pained ipob miscreants.

Allow them continue fooling themselves.
Imagine one saying I am not from Opobo town.
I laff .

Let them continue winning arguements online while we win in our lands

Gondonu:
She further asked, “what is it you have against the mass? This is my personal question Baba Buhari, where did we go wrong to deserve this neglect, harassment?, you are using force on us to keep quiet?”.

“I say to Goodluck Jonathan Ebele, thank you for being a good man, it is now we realizing that are you are a very nice and honest man. Thank you Jonathan, tomorrow if you come out we will vote you. Baba, you are a failure” she said with tears in her eyes while blasting the current administration in Hausa language."

“We are out to tell you the truth baba, today, I regret ever voting for you” as the crowd shouted in agreement.

I just dey laugh here.Where are the government zombies here on NL? Make una hear very well.

They have ran away.
I believe the economy Bubu gave them has dealt with them harshly.
Notable names to mention are berem, omenka, omenkalives, bwremx, eggheaders, the vulture griller n many more.
They don't even have data to come online, except the vulture griller.
The northerners haven't seen any thing yet.
They shud enjoy their change n next level.

Landlord97:
giving you son of a retardant ijaw reply is like dignifying you but for records to be kept you can never be an Opobo man even in your dreams so stop the delusions and face the reality, imagine ijaws whom history record to have migrated to the coastal regions of southern Nigeria, from far away Ghana claiming to be the real owners and people there, only time will prove me right or wrong,ijaws if you guys continue this your land grabbing attitudes towards your neighbor, you will be completely decimated.
Imagine denying your bayelsa origin just to annex other people heritage, thieves we can never allow that to happen in our lifetime,we are not Cowards and can ever be just like our forefathers occupied the place known as Opobo and bonny today, longtime ago with no fear, but with confidence and boldness we will make sure you ijaws are served to the Atlantic bodies for meals just like the Egyptian were served as meals in river Nile, when they refused to let go who God has blessed, Opobo and bonny are blessed by God almighty as he chose to bless ALL Igbos around Nigeria and beyond, and not even you can curse her, okay so go and sit down or you will die a pauper and poor, delusionally waiting for other people heritage to siphoned and colonise Onye Ori you can never win this media war not with me,am dogged and ready to meet both here and in Opobo offline, infact this festive period i will love to meet you in Opobo, I will like you to say to the sons and daughters of Opobo that they are no longer Igbos but ijaws, if you survived this then I will know is because of civil rights, do you know you are commiting a grave offense first impersonation and second forcefully imposing your language culture and traditions on people of distinct culture and traditions and language in this 21century i dare to see you, you would be beaten then jailed for your indirect colonization which you know has been barnished and threat of life of a brother state who history and currently has been mutually living together for aeon's.
Come to Opobo you useless shit then let's start the claiming physical, you are a big idiot imagine a cursed ijaw man who is beneath all Opobo and bonny sons and daughters claiming to be superior and even owning them.

Stay pained slowpoke.
I am done talking to you.

Landlord97:
you ask this question as if to say, you don't know that the ika ikwere agbo bonny Opobo ndoki andonni obigbo ahoada nembe and a lot more are not much present here in mass to compare number of Yorubas Igbos hausafulani and you minority ijaws here in nairaland, claiming Opobo and bonny for your wickedness towards Igbos not love but, you you want to make sure you divide the Igbos and rule them, your plots to make bonny and Opobo an ijaw colony will never work so long as God is in heaven, with the larger Igbos this time around in this war you ijaw are drumming i repeat you will never survive it be peaceful and enjoy the land of others you have already stole , just allow by gun to be by gun cause some people have buy gun ,I repeat myself you are not from Opobo period,,if otherwise I will love to meet you tommorow.

Paper tiger, continue making noise online.
The real movement is happening right before your eyes.

Ijaws talk less, ask akpabio, ask the con artist kanu, ask Ojukwu.
We act wen it's time.

Continue fooling yourself online thinking you have a say.
Show me one Ibo man from bonny or Opobo, and stop foaming in the mouth you slowpoke.
King Jaja have children, what are their Ibo names. Mumu.
Jaja founded Opobo, why didn't he name the other villages Ibo names.
Werey.

I am done talking about my town Opobo or Bonny our ancestral land.
Until you show me any Ibo man from bonny or Opobo, don't give me a mention.
These are the names we bear in Opobo


Idawarifa, Sotonye, kalada, ibinye, Boma, Ibim, Tamunosisi, dappa, pepple, ogolo, cookey, uranta, preye, sopriala, are these Ibo names.??
Olodo

Landlord97:
Robbstark you are the must useless son of his father i have ever seen, listen carefully my mother in law is from bonny, and the name of our wife is ify may her soul rest in peace, though they speak undiluted igbo, they never claimed ijaw for one day, but here are you trying so hard to claim people who are not culturally, linguistically and traditionally related to you.
Ijaw should be on the record as the most hate infilled tribe,who hate their neighbors the Igbos, with eternal hatred,let it told to the world and all Igbos that ijaw,are there number one enemies, down the south, they rather die, than see Igbos rise up to their God given potential, but no problem we are in a negotiation time and dialogue,one would have said not to mind you in your rant's of claiming Igbos of coastal regions, but if we keep mute history won't be kind to us,as we never played the onye agha la nwanne ya which Igbos are known for,go and rest you land grabber, you lots have lost this war long time back okay you are never from Opobo.

They don't claim Ijaw na Ibo them they claim abi. Unam.


Get out you son of a retard.

Your mother in-law is not from bonny.
Sharrap there Enugu man.
Continue winning places online, why we win in land.
Your noise end here.

I am from Opobo.

Mumu, I said show me one Ibo man from bonny or Opobo and you are foaming in the mouth.
My mother in-law is from bonny yen yen yen
Your father n mother are from bonny too.
Attachee by force.
Sea route kee you there.


Ijaw is a peaceful tribe n people.
Ask ebuka and bro nnamdi that are doing business in Ijaw lands they will tell you.
What do you even know sef.
You stay in one red mud road in your hut and be typing with free data that ibos have coastal lands. Hahahaha
Which coastal land.
Shame no dey catch Una.
Make Una come carry both Okrika, kalabari join no be only Opobo n bonny.
Flat heeaddd

Landlord97:
if you are from Opobo as you claim you should have Tell me where to meet you,than tracking my nairaland Google records, which gives Enugu as my location,Mr Robbstark you think you are smart, but you don't know i can change my location based on common sense,but due to your insecurity you went as far as checking my Google location without you knowing i can change my location right here to any prefered place of my choice.
I insist in reiteration that you are not from Opobo, tell me your location and I will meet you in an hour from now. You can never be an Opobo man, you are an impersonator. Iwughi ezigbo nwa Opobo ga nzuruike tupu amadioha olisa bi igwe agba gi . shameless inferiority complex infilled,ijaw land grabber.

I am from Opobo town
I am ijaw.
I am from Opobo town
I am Ijaw
I am from Opobo town.
I am Ijaw.

You are not in Opobo town Enugu man.
I am not in Opobo town now, Enugu man.

When you miscreants are ready to take Opobo town n bonny do well to come in your numbers.

Sea access kee una there.
Ever since Buhari called you people dot, Una madness, increase.

I have been waiting since this nonsense started for you miscreants to show me any Opobo man or bonny man who is Ibo.
Are there no bonny people or Opobo people who are Ibos in this forum, why aren't they talking??
Cos there is none

IDENNAA:



Are you Jo men eternally unintelligent or what ?


1. Bayelsa is not "Jo men homogenous state" because Ijaw only occupy about 4 LGAs and the rest are owned by other groups including the capital city.

2. Neither Bonny nor Opobo speaks a language other than Igbo. Ibani egere is not mutually intelligible with Jo men language.

So tell me how come Opobo people n bonny people are not associating with you culturally.
How come they don't bear Ibo names and their villages too don't have Ibo names.

Enugu man, say something else.
You can't love us more than we love ourselves.
It's not by force to be Ibo. I am Ijaw.
And I am from Opobo.
I bear ibani-ijaw name, Idawarifa
Same as other in Opobo, bonny Okrika kalabaris n other Ijaw LGAs in rivers state.
Try harder. Win online
We are winning in ground

Vintagepipes:


........Okay.
............. I never knew one can deny his father the way you did.

Your level of ignorance and silliness, knows no bound.

So you don't know that we Opobo people call bonny homeland.

That is why I said it's mother land.
You can't understand sentences.

Fyi, I was in bonny that week under review so I can say I was coming from home.

What else

IDENNAA:


Drivel of a drowning man. Sorry, the world has left you behind. Bonny and Opobo are Igbo speaking city-states that speak proper Igbo and you can't change that. When the times comes na only to protest be your choice.

You too can't change the fact that we don't bear Ibo lnames in bonny or Opobo.
Sea route kee una there.
Make Una come carry us away. Mumu

Malawian:

You give Ijaw too much credit. If Nigeria disintegrate, Ijaw will be the first to run away from Bonny/Opobo/Nembe/Okirika/Bom. Dem no born Dem well to wait until we reach there.

We the Ijaws are waiting for y'all.
We don't make noise, na action we know

Vintagepipes:

....The other day, you just had a conversation that you were from Bayelsa

.....Then later Bonny

....How soon did this switch to Opobo?

.....Do you change you place of origin on a monthly basis?

The sch you went hard you??
I never said I am from Bayelsa.
I said I am an Ijaw man from Opobo.
Bonny is motherland, cos that land bonny gave birth to Opobo.
Bayelsa is mother state cos that is the homogeneous state the Ijaws have.
Is that difficult to understand??

You all ibos shud continue winning territories online while the real owners are in those places.
Opobo is my home town.

Landlord97:
Boy Robbstark,any day you ever claim to be an indigene of Opobo again I will report you for impersonation,ole Ife Mmadu mere ndi ijaw, abughi umunne anyi ma oli, i know you don't know what i just wrote,stop claiming to be from Opobo it present you as being suffering from inferiority complex, imagine meeting you at the park or waterfront,is that the most preferred and most adorable place a true descendant of Opobo meets his kiths and kins, never in your life claim to be from Opobo, you unwanted parasite from bayelsa.

I am from Opobo and nothing you ipob miscreants here can do.
Your noise ends here.
Opobo n bonny are Ijaw territories.
Stay in your redmud Enugu and be claiming Opobo . Mumu

Landlord97:
Robbstark can you stop the Lies you always churn out, you are never an bonny or Opobo indigene, you are pure ijaw stranger from bayelsa, so stop the attached by force ,if not tell me your location in the so-called Opobo you claim to reside i will meet you in the next one hour of declaring this, mind you if you are not an Opobo true son, you must be punished.

Try very hard, you are not in Opobo.
Same with me, but if truly you wanna come welcome I will wait for you at the park or waterfront

Kinematics:



You no know their target? Access to the sea. They know they can't get it from The Kalabaris, neither from the Andonis, hence they focus on Opobo and Bonny.

Who will allow them, bonny or Opobo??
Never

They are a bunch of jokers who have failed at learning

DubaiLandLord2:
I wander why is only Bonny and Opobo dey focus on, what about other Ibani lands?

Do they know if such lands exist.
Names of villages in Opobo too aren't Ibo but Ijaws yet they say it Ibo land.
Shame suppose catch them.

Ask them to tell you the meaning of the town
Kalaibiama, epelema, minimah, iloma etc.
These are Opobo villages ooo.

Ask them the Ibo names if Jaja named any Ibo names.

Yeye people

DubaiLandLord2:
Don't be shock when you see someone from Enugu arguing with you about who you're

I don't argue with them.

I just tell them to show me an Ibo man from Opobo or Bonny.
The person will run away

DubaiLandLord2:
Igbos are just something else

I wish it was when I was working along the Opobo/Bonny axis dem dey talk this rubbish I 4 invite them over.

A man from Abakaliki can't be claiming Opobo is igboland

That's how one said he is in Opobo and I said let's meet then from another thread, the guy ran away.
I knew he wasn't in Opobo cos Opobo is a small town n to meet someone isn't difficult.

Truth of the matter is that these ipob miscreants here know the truth.
Indeed they needed undisturbed access to the sea, so they are looking for anything near Ibo to claim as theirs.

I am from Opobo.
We n bonny are same n Ijaws.

DubaiLandLord2:
fool! I hope Igbos will also claim other ibani lands like Finima

If you no want our comments, make you go dey talk your nonsense for another forum, no b for this Nairaland Una go dey talk shit.

Opobo and Bonny are both Ibani lands like places like Finima. No propaganda by okoros from Abakaliki will change this facts

Just ask them if they know road to Opobo town.
Allow them win here in Nland.
The real winners are already there.

Come to think of it, is there no Ibo man from Opobo or Bonny.??
Are they not members of this forum?? Why aren't they commenting?? Oh! I forgot, there isnt any Ibo man from those places.
The ones we have are in Anambra, Owerri claiming to own those places.

Yeye dey smell

Biafrarep:


Lol, you're the one fooling yourself, every ijaw person from Bayelsa now claims to be from Opobo and Bonny.

In reality, many Opobo people will tell you they're Igbo. I met many of them in Aba while growing up. They still celebrate their biggest cultural event (the Nwaotam masquerade festival) in Aba and not Bayelsa! Their traditional rulers always visit their Ndoki relatives in Ukwa Ngwa areas!

Enjoy your ownership online.
When you are really ready to claim Opobo or Bonny, then come over.

peleson1:
Land grabbers

No be small land grabbing.
Their matter tire person.
Every day Opobo n Bonny.
Same matter different monikers.

They are winning online
The real owners are there already

JOemmy:
I personally don't think that the ijaws are the real owners of Bonny and Opobo but looking at the current events in nigeria the ijaws seems to have fully taken over these two great towns politically from the igbos since after the defeat of the igbos in the biafran war. The nigerian state deliberately cut off many important strategic igbo speaking communities to the so called south south to weaken the igbo nation so that they will never be able be strong to challenge the nigerian state again igbos will surely have to go to war with the ijaws if nigeria disintegrates to claim back Opobo and Bonny no other way out.

I am from Opobo and Ijaws are the real owners of Bonny n Opobo.

Ask yourself, have you come across any Ibo man from bonny or Opobo.
The answer is no.

So, as for this thread, the Ibos are the real owners online, but in reality, the Ijaws who are presently in those places are the real owners.

Lemme continue reading and laffing as the OP fools himself.
Come and collect Bonny n Opobo in real life not online

Advocate500:
Are you people not looking for trouble? Is it compulsory to coerce people into your union? Why is it the opobo and bonny people are not the one pushing for this meeting? Why is it's only ijaw people in Bayelsa are the pushing for this forceful union? What you guys accused the igbos of ,you guy's are worst.

Your question ehn.
Didn't you see Bonny chapter, or the names of Jumbo on that banner is from Bayelsa abi.
The question you shud be asking is, why isn't anyone from Bonny or Opobo here claim to be Ibo.??
Have you seen any Ibo man from bonny or opobo since you are in this forum.??

Ibos own Ibo land in the East and no where else.
Other people could claim to be ibos not bonny n Opobo people.
Bonny n Opobo people are ijaws
