If I told you anything I know, and then you repeated it later, how could I come out and be blabbing? Indeed, that would put us on the same side. Really, it would be better if you got your information from somewhere else so I could come out and be blabbing when you write nonsense. But seriously are you that mentally indolent as to ask me for information when you are the one doing the research and not me? Is there no one in your family who is my equal in intellect and capability of processing intricate issues as I do Quantum Mechanics, who can give you the information you seek? Oh I'm sorry, my bad! You do not have anybody in your family who is my intellectual equal, that is why you only had the nonsense information I have been discrediting all these while, you are a stupid mentally lethargic punk-ass kid.

LOL.. I am a 4th Generation Briggs in Abonnema so figure that out and my paternal grand mom is the Nduba of Chief Young Briggs.. Don't be scared. That is not the issue tho.

Just answer the questions I asked you.. Stop skipping .

OboloMAN:
Fear is said to have gripped management of
multinational gas corporation, Nigeria Liquefied
Natural Gas Company, NLNG and her investors
over a strongly worded protest letter presented by
Rivers state youths and stakeholders over
proposed location of its Dry dock.

The letter which content made startling revelations previously unheard of lay overwhelming credence to the fact that NLNG in spite of its sustained denial was actually sponsor of the proposed drydock project in Badagry.

In a nine page letter articulately written and
copied to government and strategic agencies in
the country by Youth leaders representing various
youth groups in Rivers state, stakeholders and
other youths of Niger delta under the aegis of
Joint Niger Delta Youth Movement who were led
by Niger delta activist, Ann Kio Briggs they were
resolute over their demand..

Others who registered their presence in the civil
protest to NLNG complex in Port Harcourt
include; Chairman, National Youth Council of
Nigeria, NYCN, Rivers state chapter, Amb. Sukubo
Sara-Igbe Sukubo, National Secretary General of
Ijaw Youth Council and Leader of Rivers Ijaw
Youths, Engr Emmanuel Bristol Alagbariya, Leader
Bonny Youth Federation, Barr. Simeon Wilcox
among others to express serious disappointment
and regret in the non inclusion of host
communities who are critical stakeholders of
NLNG projects, condemning in the process
perceived high level deceit, fabrications and
deliberate intention to foist crisis in the region.

Part of the demands during the protest is to have
the Dry dock located in any of the Niger delta
states for the purpose of creating job
opportunities for the teeming unemployed youths,
they also demanded that NLNG should organize a
road show in the Niger delta and assure the
investors that they will patronize the investors
and make available all their vessels to the dry
dock facility to be built in the Niger delta. The
letter submitted amidst tight security by NLNG
neither deterred the youths who matched on
within the NLNG premises to deliver the strongly
worded letter received by one of NLNG’s key
management officers.

Some contentious issues were raised in the letter
which reads in parts: “It is not in dispute that you
NLNG conceived the idea and sponsored the
disputed Dry dock feasibility studies, received,
accepted, gave approval to the report and indeed
mobilized banks and investors and also organized
a road show to actualize and give effect to your
desired decision to site the dry dock in Lagos as
pre determined”.

“It is necessary here to note that before the
feasibility study and road show of Decenber 9th
2014, organized by you there were no foreign or
local investors (company or consortium) for the
Dry dock, but to our chagrin NLNG had already
named the project, Badagry Ship Repair and
Marine Engineering, BSME”.

To further give credence to NLNG’s pre
determined and lopsided feasibility study, the
statement gave references to various reports
including one made available by news giant
Reuters on Friday June 19th 2015 which was also
hoisted on NLNG website captioned ‘NLNG EYES
$1.5 BILLION NAIRA DEBUT SHIPYARD IN
NIGERIA’. The first paragraph aptly captured that
‘Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG)
is sponsoring the construction of the first major
ship yard in Africa’s biggest economy at the cost
of $1.5 billion, in its attempt to turn the country
into a hub for maritime operations on the
continent”. Reuters went further to quote NLNG
spokesman, Tony Okonedo corroborating
statements that indicate that they are actually
sponsoring the dry dock project.


The letter in part countered strongly and referred
to as unsubstantiated,. NLNG spokesman’s claim
that technical grounds like, Natural water depth;
Proximity to an international airport and Proximity
to an active offshore and onshore West Africa oil
and gas hub were practicable parameters used to
decide on siting the Dry dock in Badagry
Countering the claims the Joint Niger Delta Youth
Movement stated in its letter that it is yet to
come to terms on why Badagry which natural
water depth of 11-12 meters was chosen ahead
of Bonny island with natural water depth of 14.30
meters and the Onne/Ikpokiri which has about
15.2 meters of natural water depth.
On proximity to airport, it states that the distance
between Lagos International airport and Badagry
is about 68 kilometers while from Port Harcourt
international airport to Onne port is about 40
kilometers, even as Bonny Island has the
advantage of a mini air strip.

Dissecting the issue of proximity to an active
offshore and onshore West Africa oil and gas hub,
it states “Niger delta is the most active offshore
and onshore oil and gas hub in Nigeria and
indeed in the whole of West Africa. Hear this: It is
a global established known and accepted
empirical fact that only the management of NLNG
Bonny and its hired agents the Royal Haskoning
DHV are disputing this very obvious fact”.
The protest organized in the most civil and
intellectual manner attracted the admiration of
security operatives. There was staked consensus
among, Ann Kio Briggs, Sukubo Sara Igbe, Bristol
Alagbariya and Wilcox and others that NLNG’s
hidden but now open agenda can never be
allowed to see the light of the day, they assert
that the decision will if allowed to fly will be
detrimental not just to the present generation of
youths in the Niger delta, but to those yet unborn.

While they wait on NLNG to reply the letter they
are strongly maintaining a capital NO stance to
siting the Drydock in Badagry.

Yoruba people still want to cheat us the way they cheated our forefathers when they stole our Royal Niger company and changed it to UAC that developed Lagos and employed only them.. Now they want to use LNG to build another company in Lagos to develop Lagos while Rivers people suffer and die of the LNG waste products and remain jobless. And after they ll they claim Lagos to be their own.

Now lets see; Kininyanabo Daba occasionally visited his friend of Amanyanabo of Ke, and did so because, Ke was the Center of Trade of the Kalabari Clan as of the time. Prior to Ke and Kula becoming part of the Kalabari Clan, the language, Kalabari, was primarily spoken only within the Kalabari Community and after the community was formalized into a Union by Kininyanabo Akeamaoloye, then it was spoken within the Kalabari Union. So it was until Kininaynabo Igonibo came to power, and ordered that every citizen of the Kalabari Clan speak Kalabari, establishing it as lingua franca. This is between 1711 -1720.

Several years later, Kininyanabo Kalagbaa, a nephew of Kininyanabo Igonibo then ruled, and died in 1770 - an event that is also recorded by Captain Hugh Crowe of the English, which information is in the Oxford University archives. Later, Amakiri had then killed Osimini Alali which dastardly act is also recorded as occurring later than 1770.

So here was Ke a Trade Center even earlier than 1735, which was the year when Amakiri sought shelter in the Royal House of Kininyanabo Daba. Indeed then everybody spoke Kalabari already in order to trade, and you blighted ignoramus suggest that it was Amakiri who ordered everybody to speak Kalabari? You are a fool.

Is it true that TORUSARAMAPIRI had earlier settlers before the Awome came ?

1. Who were the settlers and what dialect were they speaking before the Awome came to Torusarama piri ?

2. Why would the Awome settle among a people who did not speak the same dialect as them in those primitive days when people were very hostile to strangers ?

3. How come the dialect of BILLE is exactly like the dialect of Awome when Awome never influenced Bille.. Mind you Bille is not part of KALABARI ?

IPOB Youth

Igbos are pushing us to the last limit.

pazienza:
Shota has a chronic case of rabid Igbophobia. Nothing new there, I suspect a sharp Igbo Guy snatched the love of his life from him.

Shota nwanne, ebezina, it shall be well.

More like Xenophobia . Stop trying to take over our land before we stop you by force.

HopeAtHand:
How can you prove im Igbo.,what parameters do you use to back such claims??

And because Igbo people live in Oyigbo, the govt should not develop there..arent Igbos humans, what in particular are you afraid of, their properties you stole or are you afraid of joining them in Biafra?...Igbos see how low you've become that even a landless Kalabari dunce follow dey insult una..soo much for unnecessary brotherhood with people who dont value you..

Mr Shota, Please activate your brain, you need to have it working.

You are still begging and praying God for us to join your Biafra ? We are in one Nigeria with Fulanis and Yorubas cos they are better than you Igbos. Igbo people are the most useless people on earth.

Mr Shota, Please activate your brain, you need to have it working.

If you are not Igbo you d not be this furious cos my accusation was against the Igbos. It is the Igbos that are claiming all those WOJI, OYIGBO and such places in Ikwere disguise. Many of those places were farm land of some Ikwere people and that's why they don't have cemetery . But Igbos went there enmass and turned the places to towns hiding under Ikwere shadow and benefitting more than the real Rivers natives. Only an Igbo man would get mad at statements like that ... Don't the Igbo people have their own states ? Why should Rivers state develop a place for Igbos and neglect where Rivers natives live ? Is the state for Igbo people ?

c33b33:
Lol.... Comic! For the fact I just confirmed you are from Kalabari I forgive you.

Gov. Wike please work on everywhere even waterside.

IPOB Youth

Useless Igbo people always on Rivers issues.. We the Rivers people can not even discuss our issues again cos of the interest of these dirty filthy Igbo people. You Igbos are so shameless..

HopeAtHand:
What i told you the first time is the reality of the matter..Wait till eternity and no development will come to Kalabari beyond what you have there now..Who develops water when thr resources can conveniently be channeled into developing land.

You will be happy to develop Rumuolumeni and Iwofe and Eagle Island where majority of Kalabaris reside, and neglect areas inhabited by Hausas, Igbo and Yoruba becos they arent Riverians..fuvkin hypocrite

Igbo pig.. Face your Igbo issues. Rivers people don't like you and we don't want you. Go and beg Fulanis to give you a little bit of right.. Leave Rivers matter alone.. We are Rivers people. Ikwere, Kalabari, Ogoni, Okrika Abua. We are the same Rivers people.. GOAT is trying to change the subject.. The issue is you Igbos are flooding our forest and claiming to be natives there . You shameless Igbo people.. There are now more Igbo people living in Oyigbo more than any part of Rivers state and they all claim to be from there .. Fool.. We don't like you .

HopeAtHand:
Shota, i thut u were Stupidd, obviously you are more than stupidd..

It pains you so much that Amaechi and now Wike is masssively developing Ikwerreland.What did you expect, we should help you develop your dirty swampy Kalabari?...There are limited funds and we have no time pouring money into water as the whole of Kalabari is WATER..GPH will ensure Ikwerreland keeps developing until, it gets to the boundary with Imo State..and Yes, the Whole of Ikwerreland is Port Harcourt..take it or leave it..People living in far away Omagwa in IkwerreLGA are living in Port Harcourt.protest at best, else, go and die.

useless igbo man .leave Rivers business alone and face your dirty igbo states . Ikwere people are Rivers people .The argument here is about you IGBO pigs infiltrating Rivers state and claiming it . Fool all the people in Woji are Igbo monkeys . You Igbos are more useless than Fulanis . Leave Rivers state alone . Odili and Amaechi and Wike are Rivers men and when Ogoni time comes Ogoni man will also rule . Animal go and face your Igbo issues .

I don't blame your senselessness. You are typical African monkey so I understand. I know the history of Rivers state and it's people. Now you see why I am better than you.

c33b33:
Old man wey dey reason like pikin. Our contention was not on names,do not digress.

So because the ngwa people used to farm in elelenwo when you were there,it means they have sent the Ikwerre people there parking. Was that not your argument? That Gov. Wike should work on places inhabited by indigenes.

Papa wey no wan get sense,the ikwerre people are still in majority in Elelenwo,Rumuokwurusi,Woji,Rumuibekwe and other clans that makes up ORO EVO.

Act your age and stop been foolish,your children and grandchildren might be reading. Zombie!

IPOB Youth

I only responded to your own name calling.. Punk. Brainless cow. You are even Older than this writer you senseless ape like breed. Dirty Igbo Animal

c33b33:
*Yawn* Atleast I dey inside Rivers state and you, where are you? Baboon!

IPOB Youth

Monkey reason like monkey.. No wonder you are not getting the argument fool.. Was there a city like Abuja in 1970 ? Was there even a Port harcourt in 1910 ? So cos you are in Rivers now and you have a woji now does not mean when I was in Rivers back then , there was Woji.. Brainless fool.

OboloMAN:
Ya we all know there's port Harcourt l.g.a in rivers state. But the Port Harcourt we all refer to today is bigger than one l.g.a . Hope you've also heard of Greater port Harcourt?

Back to the Topic , The said road is of immense importance to rivers people and the state at large.
The road plays host to Rivers state television (RSTV), Radio rivers transmission station. The road is also known as old refinery road., a major link to the Refinery and other major industries , It's also a link to the popular Oil mill Market.

So this is a Good Project.

So to you one day Bori also will become Port Harcourt abi ? And eventually every town in Rivers would be Port Harcourt. Why do they love the name Port Harcourt so much ? Is Greater Port Harcourt a virgin land ? Are there not towns and cities there like Eleme , Oyigbo, and even Ogu there ?

Bro there was never a town like WOJI town. There were only Section of Ikwere people called WOJI and the area became the WOJI district and RUMU WOJI is one town of the WOJI Ikweres. The whole of Diobu was part of WOJI district .

OboloMAN:
Oloshi gone are the days we use rivers funds to enrich Yoruba Lawyers.

Rivers money for rivers people we have competent Lawyers in Rivers State.

No mind them

OboloMAN:
How will you address Elelenwo and Woji communities as Farmlands?
They have always been key towns in Port Harcourt.

They have never been in Port Harcourt and they are in Obio Akpor and not in PH even as at now. I dont think you are a Rivers man.

nayeb:
You are correct "Wa iyingi" means our mother but not in the sense of Biological mother. It is an abstraction of the protectiveness of a mother for her children. In that sense it means "our supreme protective mother". In the biological sense it would be "wa mine iyingibo".

The name Akasso or A(wome) Kasso, meaning "Supreme Protector" (of the Awome) was not often used in deference. Also note that the name is Awome Kasso and not Awomina Kasso as most people often call. The Awomes were the Ward that subsequently became known as the Kuro-ame.

By the way, the explanation that Shota gave you is just plan wrong. The man does not know what he talks about quite often. He interprets what he hears without really understanding the Kalabari essence of the usage of the words he hears, and so often writes nonsense. Just the other day he wrote that "Benebo" meant someone born on a Friday, which was just ignorant.

While on that do please understand that "So" has several meanings: So means Abode of the gods, and So also means destiny of a person. The meaning is contextual. The creator God is often called "Wa temebo" while Tamuno is a generic. Sometimes Kininyanabo is also used to call God but more often used in the old to call the rulers in Kalabari because they had the power of life and death over people. Yet the term was distinctly used differently from "wa temebo" which was unequivocally God Almighty.

Chief Benibo has come with his wrong views again..

Aka- so is the word and it is just like OGI-SO or Ogi na so.. AKA SO means AKA the deity.. AKA the deity was worshiped by the AWO AME Ijaws.. The AWO AME are also known as the Koro ame. They own or brought the worshiping of AKASO hence AWO AME AKASO and not A any other way.... You should also know that the Kalabari word WA is a corruption of the word WO which is the proper Ijaw word for we and us.. WO TEME OWEI or WO TEME NU BO became TEMENU and then TAMUNO ...

Alabo Benibo please come join us in our Ijaw language clinic where we are analyzing all the Ijaw dialects to get the original words.

Is Port Harcourt the only Rivers State town ? . Rivers state is not just Port Harcourt so figure that out.
