Leave nairaland idle banter, Igbo get people! all sorts of people for that matter! The day Ijaws make the error of attacking Igbos, we will cure their madness wella.........let ijaw braggadocio remain online o! Igbos that have taken on almajiris in kano and bested them,fought all Nigerians with one arm tied behind our backs by Great Britain for a bloody 30 months civil war, taken on fulani herdsmen and their army accomplices since January and forced a stalemate!................Igbos are not itshekiris o,it will end in bitter tears for ijaw people.

Noise as always.
Continue chest beating.
We don't talk much, we act.
Ask Kanu, when he ran away from the army that came, where was he all that while before he surfaced in Israel.
The Ijaws are like a God to you people

Kabongo1:


Interesting view. How come Jaja didn't give Opobo an Igbo name?

This is not a battle these guys will want to fight, instead of building alliances and forhing forward, they keep giving other groups a clue of what they will do if given the opportunity to rule...

Jaja cudnt name Opobo an Ibo name cos he knows that if he had tried that, na eviction get am.
Some of them don't even know how Jaja got the land Opobo.
Let them continue winning online battles, the real winners are occupying the lands

I have little patience for ffffooooolllllls.

Take your jargons to those that patronizes you.

Tout, Nland resident zombie, I have all the time for miscreants like you.
Cry me a river

MelesZenawi:


Typical of an inferior being.

Well ogogoro is nothing new me as I learnt it can make normal person behave like idiiotts.

Next time don't rush to quote me with abstract ssssttttuuuuppppiddddity.

I have little patience for ffffooooolllllls.

I don't know what is paining you.
Whatever it is, stay pained.
You just showing the world that you have a very poor upbringing
Continue dancing naked, children are watching you.

MelesZenawi:


You are the one wriggling yourself in pain because I don't see reason for that trash of reply.

Did I ask for it or do I look like someone who cares to know wherever anyone comes from?

You should learn to control your pain and emotion and not dropping such at the feet of a post totally different from the writer submission.

What madness.

Look at this one that I heard udele n oyigbo update have won the zombie trophy.
If you want to be a zombie, atleast win something.
Month just ended, hope you have been given your own 30k. Zombie

Malawian:

Ijaw people are probably from Togo.

Na today you know.
Infact, we from heaven

MelesZenawi:


Who ask you all this rubbish?

I doubt if you read my submission very well before writing this jargons.

Truth stares you in the face. Stay pained.
Ibos own Opobo n Bonny online, while the Ijaws own it on ground

JOemmy:
Igbos should just forget about them if opobo and bonny indigens themselves don't want to belong to the larger igbo nation. Igbos should only fight for them if they vehemently refused to join the ijaws kwara state naturally belonged to the yorubas but has been conquered by the fulanis no need for unnecessary blood letting because of two little towns.

I am from Opobo, we are not ibos.
We are true n true Ijaws.
They know it but are hiding under the cover of say some persons there speak Ibo.
Ever since Buhari said they are a dot in a circle, they have been trying very hard to prove that they are not.
Since Buhari speech, do you know how many threads they have opened for Opobo n Bonny alone.
Its a world record.
Let them try harder, we the Ijaws don't brag over anything, and that is our greatest strength we act wen the time comes.

Let them come n chase us away.
Ndi dot

ThumbzTNA:
Eastlink made these suggestions and I agree 100%. And if I had the resources I would have sponsored them.
He says.....


"

Bringing facts here on Nairaland is a right step in the right direction, but more needs to be done. Such as.
1. Inviting Bonny/Opobo people to Igbo the cultural gathering as was the case with the forgotten Ahajioku festival held in Owerri. King Jaja Jeki V used to be a guest.

2. Informing Ohaneze or any Igbo group to open up Igbo associations in Bonny. Getting King Pepple of Bonny and King Jaja of Opobo to endorse these pro-Igbo Ubani unions.

3. Sending an Igbo delegation to visit with Bonny/Opobo.

4. Sponsorship of Igbo language competitions in Bonny/Opobo.

5. Opening of Facebook groups where Igbophilic Bonny/Opobo indigenes are admin. This will help to counter the guerrilla warfare being financed and sponsored by INC/IYC.

6. Supporting Pro-Igbo Bonny/Opobo sons like Dakuku Peterside for Governorship.

7. Sponsoring historians to write the true Bonny Igbo origin history of her Kings and people that will give Alagoa’s fraudulent revision the death knell.

"

Culled from Eastlink

That wud be a wasted effort.
It will yield nothing las las.

Go ahead n see if I am ready to say I am Ibo. Continue.
No be today Una don dey for this Opobo matter.
Drug addicts

MelesZenawi:



You guys should allow these people rest.

None of u guys arguing all these nonsense are even from opobo.

Let them decide who they want to be and so be it.

Stop dragging a whole town unnecessarily.


What rubbish. People will just be constituting nuisance.

You from Ebonyi state what is your business with what opobo people decides to be addressed as?

Mad people everywhere.

I am from.Opobo n currently in Opobo my beloved town.
Believe me, we are Ijaws nothing make us ibos.
Call us ibos na vex get us ooo.
I don't hate them but their miscreants here are on drugs.
So I will be avoiding them.
Jaja was an Ibo man who was brought into the Ijaw culture before being made to lead a house.

Ask them here, how come we Jaja went to found Opobo, he didn't name those other communities in Ibo name rather those towns around Opobo all near Ijaw names.
They are only trying to twist history which they have succeeded here in Nland bit on ground, we dey kampe nothing do us.
Jaja himself have children how come his children didn't bear Ibo names.
Question they are yet to answer.
How come we don't address our king as Eze but Amanyanabo?
They won't tell you, they will dodge.
Ask them if they know road to Opobo.
You claim you own Opobo yet you passed all the beautiful land in Ogoni, eleme to own a swamp, island.
Make Una dey lie gear God.

Biafrarep:


Dunce, the earliest recorded history of Igboland is what will be used and not Aboki military creations of yesterday.

All recorded data dating back to early 1600's, 1700's and after by both the Portuguese and English explorers all recorded that Igbo clans, particularly the Ndoki established Opobo, Bonny and Azumini areas! Till date, all these areas still speak Igbo language and practice Igbo culture!

Even the first Igbo language Bible was written in Bonny Igbo dialect!

That we lost a civil war doesn't mean our native lands will be taken away from us! Germany lost the WW11 and was divided into two with communists ruling the East Germany but at the end of the day, the Iron Curtain fell and they were reunified!

Pray that Nigeria doesn't break up because the day it breaks up is the day Bonny and Opobo will be reunified fully with the rest of Igbo country. We have the exhibits and all facts on our side to win in any court of arbitration and if any fool thinks they can stand on our way, we push them all into the Atlantic ocean.

Bonny, Opobo and Azumini will host three of our ports and we will ensure they become prosperous cities.

Na dream you dey dream abi na wetin.
You well like this so.
Opobo n Bonny host what exactly.
No sea route for you guys

Come Opobo n claim it not ranting n foaming in the mouth.
Why aren't there any body person from who have come openly to say they are Ibos. Lol.
You Miscreants will be here telling millions of people who they are. Aren't there ibos from bonny in this forum.
Oh I forgot, there is no Ibo indigene from bonny. Hahahaha

mancoconut:

What time will be good for you then? I'm here till Thursday.

Can't tell until I get to the office.
Why can't we meet this nite at the palace.
Are you sure it's the main town you in or some other Opobo community.

Just asking, cos you need someone to show you places. It a free place

mancoconut:

Don't worry about what I'm doing here on my end, I wouldn't be so confident about meeting you if I didn't hear Igbo been spoken here at my lodge. Everyone is a witness to this, 10AM you said

We shall see tomorrow.

I have never said the Ibo language isn't spoken in Opobo, no.
Go check my comments.
I said the land belongs to the Ijaws.
Ibo is a borrowed language. The ibani language got lost somewhere but some of us do speak the ibani language and can communicate with our kalabari brothers, Okrika people n southern Ijaw people very well.

I really wanted to meet mancoconut this evening
I will be going to work in the morning.
So that time won't be possible again.

I forgot that today was Sunday.
Maybe because I was at the site all thro the day.

Alua ooo

mancoconut:
.

Not sure if you suffer from dyslexia or something, but I categorically stated in my earlier post that this is my first time here and my friends are not natives of this place either. What time can we meet up at the King Jajas play ground tomorrow? I'm coming with my camera to take pictures and start interviews as well, thank God I'm finally meeting someone from Nairaland who is man enough to at least show up.

I am glad that you have asked n the palace play ground you choose.
Fine.
I will be there by 10am hope to meet you.

Better still, start asking the natives the question you have. They are friendly, they won't bite you

ThickSharon123:


I won't, like some people on Nairaland here have seen me and can testify. No capping.

On video call self.

You mean face padded with brown powder or what.
Forget that thing.
I know Ibo girls are beautiful cos I have run things with some, but not all.
Some are mgbeke heat to toe

ThickSharon123:


It's not saying they are Igbos or not Igbos that's not relevant. When you've brainswashed them and called them Igbo slaves, what do you want them to say? If I said your forefathers were Ijaw slaves, how would you feel. Be in their situation.

We want to know if they speak Igbo.

Language alone does not determine the true origin of a people.
The Argentines speak Latin, that doesn't mean they are spanish

mancoconut:

Bro for security reasons I won't be that stupid to disclose my location... Like common, choose a neutral public spot where I can be sure a lot people will be (like a local bar, resteurant, market etc) and I'll meet you there, and may God punish me and my generation if I fail to show up at the rendezvous

I believe you are with some Opobo guys, start by asking them who dey are.
Believe me, if you say they are Ibos, they will put you in a bus this nite n send you back to wherever you came from

mancoconut:

If you know Opobo very well, or you don't ask people you are with, they will tell you the most public place is the waterfront, followed by the king Jajas palace play ground.
Ask around people close to you will tell you same

9Pluto:


I won't advice or encourage this for obvious reasons. Gently, make your observations and leave there.

I have no I'll intentions.
I just want him to know the truth.

We start by asking their names and who dey are.
If they say they are Ibos, fine
But if they say they not ibos, he is going to buy me a drink. Then we take pictures this nite and chill

ThickSharon123:


.... I know myself and all other Igbo women. But let me not speak for all other Igbo women, you yourself know the know.

For me, you'll lick your lips when you set your eyes on just my face.

Ashanti girl mixed with Igbo blood. You make the result

Show your face na let's lick our lips.
Or you no fine as you dey talk

mancoconut:

Make I pm you my number? Let's meet up, no hostility or banter... just two men trying to find the truth about Opobo.

Why is it difficult to state your location in Opobo.
I have told you where I am already.
Since you are a stranger here I will come meet you.

DitariDisciple2:

Since u claim that u are in Opobo tell them to leave all Ijaw socia-cultural organizations they belong, then u tell them to enter ibo own.
Mumu.

Not to tell them to leave, ask them who dey are. Start from there.

If they tell you dey are Ibos then you win.
But I'd they say they are Ijaws, then you stop ranting

mancoconut:
I'm in a bar now and the language I'm hearing sounds more Igbo to me so far oooo!!! are Ijaws really ready for this?

Cc: RobbStark

Where in Opobo are you? If you're man let's meet up and put this debate to rest already by doing interviews? are you game?

I am at the waterfront,
The bar no get name.
I am at the jetty in front of "Welcome to Opobo"

mancoconut:
I'm in a market now and the language I'm hearing sounds more Igbo to me so far oooo!!! are Ijaws really ready for this?

Cc: RobbStark

Where in Opobo are you? If you're man let's meet up and put this debate to rest already by doing interviews? are you game?

Which market by this time 7:44pm

mancoconut:
I'm in Opobo now for a wedding event with some friends who are neither Igbos or Ijaws.. I'll use some time to mingle with the natives, listen to the language been predominantly spoken and hopefully do some interviews.. my findings will put to rest whether these people are Igbos or Ijaws

Where exactly are you in Opobo let's meet.
I am in Opobo to for a building supervision work.

ThickSharon123:


Dear, one we didn't ask for pictures, we asked for non pressuring videos, that seems natural so we can hear the villagers speak. Showing picture what would that entail. You're being a clown now. ....
For example, you asked for a video showing Opobo people speaking Igbo, but when I went there, I began to snap pictures for proof, what would you think of me?

It won't prove anything as you guys always have a way to twist things.
Why not pay a visit yourself to one of your towns since you claim you own it.
Abi you dey fear to visit.
Oh I forgot, you don't even know road to this place
Hahahaha

yorubademon24:



ijaws don't own shit! stop projecting your endless tearz on me. you and alabo having crying after y'all asses were bleeped with lubricants on this thread.

since you both can't cum up with logical rebuttals and historical evidence by neutral observers on bonny island to ascertain ypur claim on bonny it has resulted to cheap insults.. our victory have long being sealed on this thread so wat-eva pain induced tantrums you are throwing at us is worthless.

the ijos are done for believe me, we now hold the key to reclaim our lands. u will understand the implications of documented history very soon.. watever that was done in bonny and opobo will be undone very soon when they get to know about their rich heritage. u can keep coping.

Cry baby.
I dey Opobo why not come visit and ask all of us to leave the town for you.
Miscreant.
I agree you guys won online but the real winners are in the towns, come n chase us away.

JANK23H:


I'm impressed. Endeavour to have time stamps on all images.You know how they twist things.

Sure I will.
Ibaama

9Pluto:


Wow...such a fantastic monument.

But, I am curious? Are there 2 or more types of ijaw? Because I am wondering why Bonny and Opobo would be celebrating Nwaotam? but Sagbama and Gbaramaturu does not despite the fact that they are motherland like you claimed.

Nwaotam is a borrowed play in Opobo n Bonny.
But it has come to stay as it is a play used to identify the people.
That is not the only masquerade being played in Opobo.
Every 25th of December, it is played in Port Harcourt (talking of the Opobo own) and 1st of January in Opobo. Bonny plays theirs on the 15th of December.

Now, after nwaotam is played on the 1st, it ushers in the celebrations in the town, where other masquerades play like Owu-tariah etc.

Don't take that to mean the town is purely Ibo nah!
This is 6:30pm this is a pic of the waterfront.
I am just chilling having a cool breeze to my skin

RobbStark:



Opobo n Bonny are truely Ijaws.
Nothing you n your fellow miscreants can do about it.

Win all the arguement online, while we win on ground.

Y'all shud look at the pic below and tell me what the write up mean in Ibo language.

Opobo is Ibo my asss

9Pluto, Bkayy, slayerforever, Eastlink come n answer this my comment...
I am waiting

Alabo7978:
lol, confusion in the camp of drug dealing land grabbers.
do you know how many Eze'ndigbo they have all over Nigeria?
eze'ndigbo Lagos, Eze'ndigbo ogun, Eze'ndigbo Ondo.
The igbos are known travelers, entering everywhere uninvited.
they wanted to do that at cross river (Eze'ndigbo of Cross river) the cross river traditional rulers agressively halted it.
if care is not taken, 9pluto, Ekealterego, Igboid, Bkayy, SlayerForever of the future in 400 years time will claim the igbos owned those states.

igbos who don't have affinity to water, who dread the swamp and mangroves now suddenly claiming to be Water people.
Father lord!
Igbos who were slaves in Bonny just as pepple and crowther said.
igbos who were given freedom by Asimini because they showed they aided him in war.

funny enough, land grabbing clowns never want to talk about the ijoh enculturating ritual. (I will write a thread about THE ENCULTURATING RITUAL) where certain rites and spiritual practices are carried out before the spirits to change a person's ancestral identity.
if ijohs weren't the land lord, why were igbos enculturated
Ekealterego, 9pluto etc answer.

why were there enculturating rituals performed on Igbo slaves??
infact the igbos should stop seeing Jaja as Igbo anymore, he swore before the spirits, cleansed his blood, renounce his ancestry and tribe, even his name to be JUBO JUBOGHA.
that alone is big prove that the ijos were the owners, lord and master of the Igbos, and bonny.


captain8 Putindbutt ditaridesciple2
how about we think of names to rename our slaves?

I earlier renamed Ekealterego OTONYE DOMOKUMA
9pluto, SlayerForever Igboid biafrarep bkayy needs to be renamed ASAP.
we need to enculturate them like our ancestors did.

Slayerforever is my friend, so I will name him Tamunoibim.....God is Good
Or he may like Ibiwari.....Good house
