I think everything stays as it is. The money should continue to be under the custody of the bank.

Everyone must not support the stupidity abd terrorist group like Ipobs.

What has IPOB got to do with my comment. Was ipob there when the aforementioned were making stupid comments and posts everywhere in 2015. Have you run mad!

After 2015 the word zombie became popular on politics section for a reason.


You expecting him to be smart because he is a mod is an error on your part. I will direct you to dig up some posts and threads opened by mods like Mynd4.4 and OAM4.J around that 2014 to 2015 to really understand the people you're dealing with.


After that you won't bother opening this threads to complain.


Bookmark this post, by 2022 these mods I mentioned to you will come out to write why Tinubu is the best option for Nigeria president. Umu udene nwuruanwu.

Nonpartisan1:
The army should kill all the villagers who will come out to boo Andy Uba's campaign. Andy Una was specifically picked by the president.

This Igbo people are becoming a problem in Nigeria.

Lalasticlala, Dominique, OAM4J, Obinoscopy Rule 3

Exercise in futility. The long arms of unknown gunmen will still get him.

Let me give Tinubu an idea. His urchins can arrange a body double like Buhari's case. Contest and win, shikena.

Bka.yy, Nwanyiowas.hi, Idenn.a, Slayerfo.rever, Ekealtere.go, Capta.in8 and others who thought this was bullshit, this story is now featuring currently on IgbereTV FAcebook page with a lot of comments. Maybe you can see other opinions there too.

Of course it's not bullshit. We Igbos are usually in the know and we school people here for free.


Drop the FB link.

The article is about Kalabari and Ijaw. It has nothing to do with Igbo and we don't know how igbo came into the discussion.

[/s]


Of course, you wouldn't know. You are a Yoruba man.

IDENNAA:
Stop giving this guy any sense of importance. Whether Ijaw like it or not , we will sail the rivers that flows into the ocean and they will not do a danm thing about it. Enough with the diplomacy....everybody get crase for head. We can also help them for once and blow up their useless pipelines and render that mosquitoes infested creek useless forever! I think the opportunity given to Goodluck to become a president is making them feel somehow.

You ehn

Idiko1:
You simply cannot claim anything when the name, Kalabari, is the coinage of Europeans. You must first determine who and where the people who claimed Kalabari originated. In additon, the name they where known before Portugues came with Callabar, Calabari and Calbarii hence today's Calabar and Kalabari. You simply cannot claim originality of anything when the name is a foriegn import. Ama Onye Anabo and Amaikiri (Amakiri) have been long distorted to Amachree and Amanyanabo.

Ama onye anabo

Please oh.
Islamic rule over Spain was not short.
And it was not part of Spain but both Spain and Portugal (iberian peninsula).
They called it Al-Andalus and the rule was for 700+ years, around 711-1492 if my memory serve me well.
If you look at both places, you'll see their legacy. Take a look at the Portuguese footballer called Bruno Fernándes again and you'll see one their legacy

Pedro etc etc

Fejoku:
Anyone who knows Kalabari's history very well know that they're descendants of mixed people with Igbo and Ijaw being the largest contributors. Efik, Ibibio and edoids around down Niger tributaries also added to the fold making the place a cocktail of different persons. Two things however standout which is the language and culture of the people. Igbo language is predominant there together with a dialect similar to Ijaw but the customs and traditions resemble that of coastal people around the area specifically more of the Ijaws. Areas traditionally regarded as Kalabari doesn't include Okrika and Bonny. These two see themselves different even up till date.
This recent story of carving a niche for themselves isn't surprising. In fact, it is expected because the truth is that there's hardly any sincerity in the creation of numerous 'ethnic nationalities in Rivers state. There's hardly any state in Nigeria that is as politically jinxed as Rivers state. Even Ogoni don't agree that they all are one. Some Igbo groups there have the same problem. Now even the Kalabari have started their own. I expect the Andoni and Nkoro to start their own too.
There's too much lies in Rivers state.

You keep mentioning Ijaw. Save for one or two borrowed practices and shared riverine life there is nothing Ijaw about Kalabari. Nothing. It may come as a surprise to you though.

me cry? as how?
i do not even worry about that lie talk more of cry....
one thing i know is that, Ijaw republic will give igbo youth heart attacks.....
Ijaw rejectin biafra is a big blow on ibo youths...
I wont even waste my precious time on this thread to proved to you people that its fake and i dont have felt any worry..

[/s]


Everything Igbo. Mehn your life is miserable o.

BKayy:
Exactly.
The problem of Kalabari is just that Ijaw that they know when they came are Saying that they are their progenitors. If you noticed, for some reasons Ndigbo were not included in the writeup because somehow they know that Nobody, absolutely NOBODY in Southern Nigeria will drag age with Ndigbo.
BTW, I stumbled across an article about the origin of Christianity in Igbo land (I will post it in due time) with Ubani clearly spelt and marked as where Christianity started in Igboland with one event at Easter of 1826 if I am not mistaking.
New Calabar (Kalabari) and Brass People were featured in the article with their Dẹ̀ị́ty. The boundaries of the three groups were clearly stated.
New Calabar people worshipped Shark (I am surprised that sharks were that rampant down there at that time), Brass people worshipped Rock Python while Ubani People worshipped Iguana (one big monitor lizard like that).
So the OP Mr Vintagepipes should work on uncovering his people's original name before anything because Kalabari is still from British "New Calabar"

True true true. The writer knows that Igbo cannot be brought into the argument, as per age.


The British who called it New Calabar did so because they were familiar with Calabar (Efik) earlier. So hearing another Calabar-like name made them settle for New Calabar (that is very common among British people. Appending New- to a similar name in another location.

You go cry tire.

BKayy:
We are always right when one critical analyse our points instead of diving into it with Nigerian Anti-Igbo tinted Eye glasses

Exactly!

I can see owu there meaning water people! May that be a variation of Oru in Igbo??!!!!!!



Anyways, what I can get from this writeup is that Ijaw are just playing games. And the Kalabari being much older (according to article) cannot agree to descending from a more recent Ijaw. Logical analysis.

This would also indirectly call into question the claims of some Igbo tribes to have descended from a more recent Bini, when the Igbo have been documented to be far far older (as even heralded by Ooni and some other monarchs in the know). It is a stupid claim indeed as indirectly illustrated by this article.

Yoruba don't have what it takes

I will divide the shithole.

BKayy:
As for the OP, you Nigerians can cement your slavery to the British by permanently eradicating your language for Pidgin as the vernacular and Standard English as the official. Bunch of inferior humans.
As for us, Igbo is will be our Official and non Official language.

Very nonsense talk from that fellow

AdakaBoro8:
one will easily know this write up is from the brain damage igbos.... see how you just removed kalabari from Ijaw...

I dey observe you, you no sabi anywhere at all. Kalabari dey inside that map but you no know the area. Tweh. Person wey dey argue with you just dey waste him time.

cc Furious1

Utter rubbish.

How many EU nations do you see making English or pidgin its national language?

How many Asian countries? Japan? China? Korea?

How many South American countries

We're saying the English is looking like a mistake and you're looking to add pidgin. E no go better for Lugard

I pity BBN. This show will drag audience like mad!!!

Most definitely not Yoruba
