First things first it look at the map

It's closer to the ocean than port Harcourt , onne , Calabar and warri ports and can take big ships not small boats badges

It can be dragged to ABA and Owerri ...from Owerri then to anambra

Another place that has potential is ebonyi that can serve Enugu and okigwa zones very well

A port on the banks of orashi between imo and Anambra is another option

this are all better suited to ports that Onitsha as far as I'm concerned ...look at the maps u would understand me better

I know all you're saying.

In Nigeria today who will build that port in Abia?

From ritual killing to cultist to drug abuse. SW LEGACY.

mrvitalis:
That's the only route which is why I say Onitsha ports makes no sense ....Igbo land port should be in abia then use rail to transport it through out Igbo land

A port in Abia would be from scratch. Who will build it kwanu.

More pollution and backwardness for awa oyel crew.

mrvitalis:
That's the shortest route for me ... through imo then to Anambra

Fa ga-esi n'etiti mba-miri wee banye Orashi, okwia?

KingOfTheDamned:
I think the barges will come from Lagos to Onitsha straight

Lagos to Onitsha kwa. Okay.

mrvitalis:
Orashi river

Orashiii? Hmm.

Anambra is obviously doing very well, and it can only get better. Soon the state will become the benchmark for good governance in Nigeria. Truly the light of the nation.


On the side, I want to ask. Where will the barges be loaded enroute to Onitsha port. Is it at Onne? If at Onne, what river route will the barges take from Onne to Onitsha?

Bros Slayer, how body?

Very fine, sir. I am following every bit of information you're churning out

Alabo7978:
You no get sense, forgetting I also understand the Igbo DIALECT.
Ugoloma is that bird that is black but has a white chest and looks like it wears singlet. That aside.

You no get sense at all.

The okoloma you hear is a phrase not the meaning of the bird curlew.
Okolo is curlew.
The "ma" at the end means "fly"
Curlew fly away =okolo'ma.
In Nembe my own dialect we call curlew okolain,
The ma at the end simply means "fly"
Your concorted lies does not add.
Stop displaying your foolery here.

It is also known as Okolo-ama (curlew-town)
Okolo like I said before means curlew, ama means town
Hence
Okolo-ama.
Wether OKOLOMA
OKOLOAMA

it's still the name of the town.

And as for ndoki, go and ask the Ndoki people about their ancestry, they'll tell you they are ijaw.
My Igbo maternal grandfather also knows about the full name aminadokiari, one of my in-laws is an ndoki man who I interviewed on Christmas Eve if he is truly ijaw by ancestry and he said yes(I even wrote an article about it) but you wouldn't believe, so I have a screenshot of an ndoki person in their group on Facebook. Enjoy ..

Lying should not be in a nwa afo's DNA.

bomb24:
hahhahahaha dunder-head!

a "curlew" is called "igoloma/ugoloma In Igbo dialect of Ngwa/Ndoki Clan..

According to oral documentations alagbari-nye was Igbo of ngwa/ndoki clan who came from the Igbo hinter-land and settled/founded bonny Island. apparently from all indications Ugoloma was corrupted/mis-spelt to okoloma by the whites...

If the Ijaw claims of being one of the oldest tribes to settle at the coastal part of Nigeria in delta/bayelsa estuaries and coast they would have had a name for the curlew, as okolo in ijaw dialect simply means "roosting."
popularly known as chicken and chickens don't fly.!


1) If truly the settlement was called OKOLOAMA by the ijaws, the europeans weren't too dull to have omitted the "Ama" prefix from the word.

Ajayi crowther recorded it as okoloma not okolo-ama

two other european explorers also recorded it as okoloma and not okolo-ama.

So my question to you Alabo is what is a curlew called in ijaw language? because okolo in ijaw simply means rooster.

In Igbo land every bird of the sky has a name

Eagle - ugo

curlew - ugoloma

vulture - udene

hawk - Egbe

pigeon- nnunu

E.t.c

from all indications from the research, ugoloma ( curlew) was christined to okoloma. As the founder of bonny island was of Igbo and Ngwa/Ndoki stock.

Idiko1:
Academic laziness is one of the reasons Nigeria lacks hopelessly behind the developmental curve. The hatred most Nigerians have for Ndigbo seemed to create a national disgrace. In order to ride the idiotic narrative of Bassey as N1 as to slight Ironsi, particular sections of Nigeria and their idiotic government mounted the wrong Bassey. Wellington Umoh Bassey enlisted in 1949 and commissioned in 1953. Wellington Duke Bassey who resigned his commission before Nigeria gained independence has no place in Nigerian army but RWAFF and RNR. The picture these jackasses had circulated, purported to have been snapped in 1959, contained a person identified as Major General Norman Foster. The truth was Norman Foster was not even in the protectorates which became Nigeria in 1959. The picture might have been taken in 1956 when Major General Kenneth Godfrey Exham was appointed as the GOC of Nigerian army district or in 1958 on his second duty tour as the GOC of Royal Nigerian Regiment. I shall respond to silly claim of smear against her husband by Elizabeth Pam in one of my next posts.

My boss.

Possibly Fulani terrorists.

Tell us all of Tinubu's achievements first.

Ehnnnn you see your life. Small discussion we had you're already using Igbo to beg me to add you to Igbo people. You even have rapping skills like Phyno. Style style Igbo boy

Meanwhile by Ijaw law of matrilineal lineage you're an Igbo boy. Ezigbo nwa afo ka-ibu

sageb:
Don't mind these delusional Ipobs
When the Europeans came, firstly they came to the Ijaw-wakirike part of port Harcourt to sign the residential agreement.
They met an Okrika man who later went to the rebisi people to also join in the agreement.
The okrika Ijaw man is Chief Dan kalio

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO. No it was Danfodio. You guys are just it!

Shege ka fasa would have become sacrificial lambs for bandits and boko haram.

Everyone has noticed it except Yoruba people.

Alabo7978:
Ha!
Is this the new madness invoke?
"Igbo title"?
Isn't it Eze, igwe or obi again?
LMAO
Morning by morning new craziness I see from you people.

Okay na

Alabo7978:
Ok.
E concern you, as long as it didn't have anything to do with our ethnic space.

You're using an Igbo title for your king

Alabo7978:
[s]Lol...it's now I know you all don't even know the meaning of those lingua.
Just look at how clownish you seem.
Aminadokiari doesn't actually mean "ama" nadokiari
Lol, and you felt you made sense.
Aminadokiari means (we are looking for our brothers)
Ama means settlement.
They are different.
This f**l why are you like this?
If you don't know about anything, just ask.
Okoloama
Opubo-ama
Krakraama
dieama
Aboneama
Kolokuama
And hundreds of ama in ijo Ethnic space all tally.
Tell me thank you for enlightening you and those other 3 block heads[/s].


And by the way, what is this ama onye na bo nonesense you all have been gibbering about?

You wouldn't know because it's an Igbo word

Too much drama o

Ekealterego:
In one of their rants, they were ranting that Bonny people are even getting proud of "speaking their nonsense Igbo". That they should embrace English rather than their Igbo native tongue. A dialect they have developed for over 600 years now.

They were furious that Opobo are "even proud to speak Igbo". These guys are funny Shaa.

The pains are only just beginning. The great Igbo language is here to stay in Bonny and Opobo.

JANK23H:
Lol...at awakened.

The rejection and anti-igbo sentiment is increasing exponentially.Don't you see it in all the Facebook groups you've infiltrated?

What is increasing exponential is the Igbo identity. Already Bonny had rejected the ijaw language entirely. They are more comfortable rapping in Igbo.

Haven't you noticed how they don't pay attention to the Ibani language tutors hahaha.

SaintBishop:
Say thing you said about Okrika how far?

We're still on Bonny.

Alabo7978:
lol ok
local nairaland champion.

From local to international. Your eye go clear very soon.

Alabo7978:
EVERY HISTORICAL ACCOUNT claims the founders found the place to be roosted of the curlew bird known as "okolo" and when they settled, the curlews flew away and the inhabitants say "okolo_ma" meaning curlew flew away.


so now buddy,, your friend Ekealterego said OKOLOMA meant handsome young man, or "an old french word"
and "fine bird fly away" LOL.

what is OKOLOMA?
shey you're an Igbo?
let us now see you betray your dialect and lie or you avoid the question like a plague.


I'm waiting.

You're claiming it is Okoloama. Just like you say about aminadokiari. And Opoboama instead of Ama Opobo. Even Amanyanabo is Ama onye nabo. So continue beating about the bush while our people in Bonny continue to be awakened.

It is too much.
