Lol mumu.
In the proper CLOSED ijaws forum not on Facebook, we know ourselves, and our history.
Many uniformed people will grow old too.

You too will grow old to be a foolish and uninformed elder.

[/s]

I take your insults as the noise of a little boy.

Stop forcing a connection between Nembe and Ijaw people.

BKayy:
That statement is a proof that most of them have never left their swamp.

Someone will just sit in one canoe in the swamps of Bayelsa and be analysing history of Igbo people.

Don't follow that nonsense he's doing. He knows fully well the name is Igbo.

WorWorBoy:
Ibanichuka is not an Igbo word and he's not from Igbo. The word Ibani is the corrupt version of Ebeni,which is an ijaw word, Chuka is not an igbo word either.
Lmao, look at you talking about fighting when the whole of Wakirike Bese detest anything Igbo with great passion and welcomes the Ijaw tag with open arms. How can you claim people who your very presence irritates them to their bone marrow?

[/s]


Ibanichuka is not Igbo it is Hausa. You're very slow bro.

BlackSaints:
Any igbos you see in Okrika are descendant of slaves. You can't twist our history just to suit your 419 narratives.

[/s]


You're wasting my time.

Alabo7978:
Fool, I was in that group, and when I saw my monicker, I smiled...
That's by the way.

That dude said he has never heard of it before, stop mumuing yourself...
Everybody must not know a thing.
Oru is evident in the names ijoid people bare
ORUBEBE, ORUBO, ORUIGBUJI, ORUKARI, ORUWARI, ORUANGALA, ORU-FULO, ORU-NGO, ORU-KALANGO, etc.

That man is an Izon elder. You're a Nembe Igbo boy who is an Ijaw wannabe. You can't know Izon more than the real Izon people. The elder totally rubbished the linking of Oru to Izon. There were other people who said you're writing nonsense. Stop trying too hard to force a connection to the real Izon people.

Alabo7978 come here you punk. Did I not tell you here Oru is not Izon but you kept claiming the name. Can you see a real Ijaw elder explaining it out. You people in Nembe claiming Ijaw are fake. Your Ijaw traditions are fake. Fake fake fake. Oru is a foreign word in real Ijaw culture and Nembe is Igbo.

Is there a real validated history of Aro capturing the area from Ibibio?

This things sometimes are not always how they are narrated due to time distortions. With what I've read in some records there might not have been any capturing of Arochukwu. But what do I know.

OfoIgbo:
Please teach me.

If I say, I am in your neighbourhood, it doesn't mean I am in your house. It just means I am somewhere nearby.

So, if I say, in the neighbourhood of Bonny, it could be a nearby territory, or a piece of territory surrounding Bonny.
Basden then used his map of Igboland to buttress his point. There are obviously coastal areas not very far from Bonny, which are not Igbo areas. But those areas he thinks, were not Igbo areas could also be Igbo areas.

The point I am making is that Basden wasn't very thorough, or not specific enough, for us to claim as a matter of certainty, that this was what he was alluding to. Once again, I suppose we have to rely on his map of Igboland, as it removed every ambiguity

All these your almajiri education will mess you up one of these days.

igboid, bkayy, slayerforever, ekealterego

I can't believe it has gotten to the point we're now teaching Ijaw people English lwkmd

5 years for Russia to fight Ukraine hahahaha. With conditions remaining the same, if Ukraine doesn't surrender before Sunday the war will be over before another Sunday.

BlackSaints:
Something your fore fathers told you abi? Well your brother was very modest how you igbos came to be in Okrika which is true slave trade, something you have being denying since you start this your land grabbing tendency. Well, any igbos you see in Okrika are descendant of slaves,and slaves have no right to drag land in their masters place .

[/s]


You are only consoling yourself.

bomb24:
Towns in Okrika with Igbo names:

Abam- Slave traders

Amadi- Aro-chukwu

Ndubusi.

Ojimba.

Oba


9pluto
igboid
ofoigbo
bkayy
slayerforever
Eastlink

There are more.


Ijaw pressure made them change the names to Ijaw sounding names.

JANK23H:

Even till today

Vintagepipes:
....@slayerforever @Igboid @Bkayy @Ofoigbo @9pluto

..... Igbo navigation power on the sea and rivers of Igbos

..........@ekealterego Task done

........So, the point, Igbos were also good on the waters.

No Ijaw boatmen can paddle boats 48 hours without food. Their naval prowess was only identified in relation to maritime banditry.

Vintagepipes:
@Ekealterego task done.

.....@slayerforever @Igboid @Bkayy

....Courtesy of ekealterego banned by antispambot. This picture are Igbos on the River in the 1830s.

...One is Allen and one Oldfield. When he is unbanned he will give the reference himself.

Good.

The people who will handle you are coming.

Igboid:
Do we actually have Igbo academia? I doubt.
More like salary earners only interested in feeding themselves and their families and no thought about the Igbo nation they hail from and how to contribute something tangible to her.
Look how Alagoa fraudulent distortions went under radar for decades, yet we have useless history lecturers in SE Universities all parading empty "copy and paste" Ph.Ds and other worthless certificates.

Biko Ekealterago, please don't forget to deliver on the promise about Igbo naval and Marine prowess.
I'm looking forward to it.

A pity!

What I learnt in this thread is that drug addiction is the worst of the worst.

Ekealterego:
I will provide the quote soon. I think it's from Allen 1841. The water abilities of Igbos. There is even a drawing of the Igbos on the Niger.

Thank you in anticipation. The navigational and naval prowess of the great Igbos were captured copiously across several literature. Our academia have done us a generational disservice by not bringing this to the consciousness!

Idiko1:
You are one of the reasons Nigeria is called basket of fools. A dumbass jackass such as heads a government ministry and appoint either his wife, daughter, son or his brother, the issue of conflict of interest is established. The government ministry where the dumbass jackass is the top guy is not his private property. Otula, you do not need to convert anything into a private property to raise the issue of conflict of interest. This is one reason you do not have job. The case of Rochas Okorocha is fraud. The conversion of public property into personal interest or ownership is a major aspect of corruption. if this allegation is remotely true, Rochas Okorocha should not be a senator but a prisoner by now.

Lollllllllllllllllllll

The casual allusion that the Igbos didn't live near water is a fallacy that will soon be destroyed forever.

BloomingDale:
Na wa o. I con fine pass Miss Ukraine. This life no just balance at all.

Pics or ....

Agulu President General has addressed the press in light of the unfortunate incidence at the army checkpoint in front of the Agulu Town hall, calling on the people to remain calm.

Sergio101:
Fellow Nairalanders.
Please till when??
My fellow ìgbo brothers, till when??
Dear real Yorubas...... till when??

Till when are we gonna understand that living together just to fulfill all rightousness of "Unity" is just too childish. When will all this subjugation end.

About last month or last two months, I raised alarm here of the army checkpoint in my hometown town Agulu......it was still new then. I said if care is not taken that one day this army people will wreck their flatulence-like havock and now it's happening.

Got home to my hometown Agulu yesterday, just to notice that things have gone extreme. Just that yesterday, the armies in that checkpoint killed a Keke driver . A man from ihiala going for meeting in Agulu, actually to sign the for the completion of his apprenticeship. What ought to be his joyous day became his day to Sheol because of Nigerian armies .

Everywhere so calm, no movement (opposite to what I have been seeing). It's only when I settled down that I began hearing stories of thier atrocities. How they are deliberately extorting people. They now bargain prices to be given to them with drivers depending on the kind of goods you have in your vehicle.

What's all this??

Chai God forbid.

Some of the IYC goons in Bonny tried converting a popular Igbo masquerade's title from Ekwemma to Ekwema to slowly ijawnize the name but the youths resisted .
The youths instead redesigned the name to fully express its Igbo heritage. They wrote the name this way instead : Ekwe-mma lollllllll Let's be honest, many Bonny youths are Igbo lovers

JANK23H:
How would an Igbo man give a country an Ijo name.That should tell you there are holes in that account.You've all tried to spin that Okoloama meaning and it still doesn't stick.

The name is Okoloma not Okoloama.

[s]

JANK23H:
A town dominated by Igbo slaves would definitely have people claiming to be Igbos.That's what Crow and co didn't factor in initially.Besides Basden's research work extended to Bonny.

[/s]


Bro this is absolute rubbish.

JANK23H:
Okolo-Curlew
Ama-town

Just like other Ijo towns with 'ama',the first 'a' is usually taken out.So if you say Okoloma you won't be wrong,just like Finiama is called Finima.

That's how Ijaw towns are named. But Igbo towns have a dominant Ma suffix in their town names too. So automatically your position is debatable.

JANK23H:
You sound rediculos with that Alagoa/Williamson nonsense.I hope you realise she did a lot of work on both tribes.This is a thorough research again and not a memoir from a drunk ship captain.

On scholarly validity and admissibility the memoir is superior

Alabo7978:
LMAO
how does "mini" relate to "minji"
You're talking to a Tata abi?
Mini can never be corrupted because it is too simple abeg.
Guy no dey lie.
Minji,mindi,mingi are the ijoid words for water.
So if they write this in an interview to pick out the odd one
(Mingi,mindi,minji, mini)
You go fail like this?

Mindi is a purely Igbo word.

nuelleoz:
As stated. It is what you think, and what you think may be incorrect.

Yes it may be incorrect.

Alabo7978:
No.

The Brits traded only where they had interest, and it was only in that place they were concerned about (Bonny, brass, calabari) that was why they didn't regard or care about the other ijoid clans.
So what baikie was trying to say was that he had come to realise they share the same dialect with slight difference.

Do you now understand?

It was also during the time they wanted to bring the goodnews, that John Clarke had to now pay attention to our other brothers they called JO MEN, he then realized they actually spoke similar Language, that gave rise to following expeditions and so it was finally known that the Oru or ijoid Language was something wide and huge.

On what basis did you come to this conclusion?

JANK23H:
Don't tell us what you think.That's not what scholars do.There are several literature that ascribe that appellation to Ijos.We also call ourselves Orus too.That is an ancient Ijo appellation.

If you are talking literature, the literature captured by Alabo7978 from Baikie clearly states a marked difference between Oru and Ejo.
