Same here.

Alabo7978:
Lol, are you high on mkpuru'mmiri drugs?
Which of the pepple, there were so many pepple kings, about 8
Pepple is actually a family name.
So which of the pepple you claim is Igbo?

Every king of Ubani from its first recorded king Asimini was Igbo.

Ekealterego:
Bkayy, Slayerforever, Igboid this is just to reconfirm the final evidence.

This even give the Ndoki people more leverage on Bonny... It was clear that Bonny was an offshoot from Ndoki. Then later all the other Igbos. That is why their dialect is closer to Ndoki and Ngwa till today.

OKOLOMA IS IN NDOKI. They knew where they came from.

Obviously

BMC didn't even acknowledge his demise. What a waste.

Ekealterego:
I actually sent him that screenshot which he was confirm and he was actually doing the gospel by spreading the news all over.
Their kings were Igbo...If you follow the second screenshot, King Pepple himself testified that he was Igbo alongside king of New Kalabar.
He knows.

Of course Pepple was Igbo

BKayy:
How does it feel now that you have realised that you have no claim to Ubani/Ibani/Bonny? Your or our friend Anonymous15 have cracked the case for all of us?

Lol. So even "Ibani" is not an Ijaw word .
May God bless Anonymous15 for this wonderful screenshot. He has managed to get us the original name of Kalabari and the other Igbo names of Ubani.
Plus, he has managed to complete the link between Bonny, Asa (Obigbo) and Ndoki.

cc SlayerForever, Igboid and Ekealterego.
The case has been solved.
Ibani was never an Ijaw word but Igbo.
The screenshot has completed the link.

Ijaw has no single claim to Bonny.

This would also suggest Kalabari are Igbos

Idafire:
I have been following this thread and noticed that you have not made any meaningful contribution here.
This thread is about you n your phobia for water bodies as the OP stated, but you are here foaming in the mouth without any meaningful contribution.
Continue.....

I dey watch you

You're just a comedian my brother.

Our Igbo borthers


Nembe kwenu!

Look at how the traditional hat fit the Chinese man. I mistakenly thought he's an Ichie.

BigSarah:


These Unknown Trouble makers should stop making trouble for innocent people..

AT this point it's needless to attack soldiers, when you know the response of the army will be to attack innocent civilians, destroy properties..

Whatever these Unknown people want they can't achieve it this way, they'll only end up hurting those they claim to love, protect and support..

Don't start what you can't successfully end.

#Ozoemena

Did you consider the fact that whether the people are cooperative or not they would be killed by soldiers for flimsy reasons?

2elliot:
As a matter of urgency, every Igbo man must endeavour to learn how to swim. It was one of the factors that caused their defeat in the riverine areas around the Niger delta. Stories abound how Igbo soldiers were drown in their hundreds in my area by women and men they commanded to ferry them from one riverine community to another. In the middle of the journey, they will rock the boat and cause it to sink, as the soldiers drown, they will swim to safety. You may think swimming talents is not needed in wars in this age and time, but it could save one or two lives still.

That's an OVER EXAGGERATION.

AlexBells:
It is not what they are doing that we are not, it is what we can do and should be doing that we are not, besides do you know that fishing is loads of money but hardly do do you see any Igbo going deep sea fishing, there loads of things we can do, if we take our maritime resources seriously, Akwaibom has a boat building company, I know Innoson can include boats building if the demand is there but no demand and our inland waters are moribund

Okay you're saying Igboland doesn't do sea fishing which is highly profitable. Yes sea fishing is very very profitable but then you have to ask, how much of Igbo land is at sea. Then you ask how developed maritime is in this shithole.

AlexBells:
We have more inland waters than any other nation in Nigeria but such phobia had impacted our utilisation of our maritime resources

You don't know what you're talking.


What do the riverine tribes do with water that we don't.

AlexBells:
Ukwuani, Opobo, Bonny, a quater of Anambra, A quater of Imo, 1/4 of Abia, 1/4 of Anioma, 1/2 of Ikwerre, 1/2 of other Rivers Igbos, 1/10 of Benue Igbos, 1/10 of Enugu, 1/10 of Ebonyi, does that look like a potential good swimming score

Check how much of our territory is water first.

AlexBells:
Which Igbos are not faultless lol, no people is perfect, that is much like the Nazi complex that seemed to paint Germans as the very best of humanity, the fact is that believing in a faultless mindset would most likely bread arrogance and lack of concern for the feelings of others,

Everyone is unique and beautiful with their own strengths and weaknesses, everyone is special in one way or the other although some are more special than the others

The "beautiful" people around us are looking for our destruction.

I'm not arrogant towards them but God knows I don't care what befalls them because in my book they are umuazi satan.

AlexBells:
Forget that Ubani and Opobo Biko, people that is not up to 500,000 sef is what you want to use as a Yardstick to discuss over 45 million people lol.

Is it only them that are Oru? And are they not Igbos? I only mentioned them because they are trending.
The mighty Aboh kingdom nko?
Oguta, Ukwuani and Ndoki nko?

Igboid:
But there are many riverine Igbo groups.
We call them the Oru/Olu.
The Ogbaru that live by the River Niger, the Oguta by Oguta lake, the Enuani and live along river Niger too.
The Ndokis live by the banks of Imo blue river.
The Omambala who live by Anambra river

All these Igbo clans had all developed riverine culture and are not scared of the River.

Part of the reason Ndiigbo avoided riverine terrain down south is that those Waters were mosquito infested those days and hence living there came with high infant mortality.
Igbos valued farm work, especially Yam cultivation, a man's wealth was measured by his yam barn. You need children growing into adulthood to provide you with labor to farm, living in riverine areas would mean you don't get much of your children growing into adulthood.

Look at the riverine areas of Igboland, they are the most most sparsely populated areas of Igboland.
In Anambra look at the Omambala areas in Anambra East, Anambra West and Ayamelum LGAs. They are very sparsely populated.
Same with Ogbaru areas, except the areas around Okpoko that has become part of Onitsha metro.
In Anioma, look at Ukwuani people who live in swampy lands, they are the least populated.

Look at Bayelsa population.
Very sparse.

Igbo ancestors avoided riverine areas because of the diseases and high infant mortality they brought.

Hmm. This infant mortality argument seems to have some credibility sha

But my brother Alexbells on a serious note you are very wrong. The Igbos are not aquaphobic. What then do you say about the Oru Igbo. They are distinct in being a riverine Igbo people.

What then do you say about Ubani/Opobo who are living on the Atlantic ocean? Are they scared of water too? Check am na.

AlexBells:
Nobody will take you too serious becuase you are too pro Igbo that it gets to that point where in your views, Igbos have no fault or weaknesses. Always be guided by moderation and truth and realise also that we all have weaknesses

Hahaha. My brother the bolded is not far from the truth o. In my mind the Igbos are nearly faultless

Bkayyy:
That's why we must continue to blend our cities with nature like Enugu City

Very important.

This is a load of bullshit bro.

I love the forest cover in the southeast. It is a blessing from God. But only few will understand.

Lol. Bastards.

Lol

Charmingrascal:
This sounds like "Fu-Igbo"
They get accommodated by the locals and later claim ownership of the land.

Dem Buhari's clan

If you know you know

Lol

Lalasticlala

The beautiful islands of Ibeno belong to Ijaw as you can see in our map. Andoni/Obolo and Ibeno are all Ijaw people.

God bless General Ditari!
God bless Ijaw!

actually has a point


Na map things now o
