Malawian:
You give these Ijaw pipeline protection contact, meaning you arm them and give them access to other smaller tribal lands,and when they get there, they continue their expansionist agenda. Same thing Fulani tried and failed with Ruga, is what Ijaw is succeeding in right under the noses of Igbo people.

There shall be a reckoning!

My brother! A tribe will just wake up one day and say they control the coastline from Ghana to Cameroon. Fulani of the coasts indeed

9Pluto:
Ask any crook who talks about Bonny before the eighteen century i.e 1700 to show you proof.

Also, the person should tell you the name the Portuguese called Bonny.

There isnt a single proof. That is why they rely on conjectures and innuendos. No historical link. Everything Ijaw found in Bonny are as a result of a failed attempt of cultural assimilation

Finally I wont take someone who stayed in far away Freetown analyzing people he hadnt fire hand information about seriously

Fulani killing you from the north, ijaw killing you from the south. Sufferstication

Hon. Success Torhukerhijo representing Ese-Odo Constituency which is the ijaw area i Ondo state has called to public knowledge attempta by yorubas in Ondo to recolonize and forcefully assimilate the indigenous ijaws in Ondo. The cited the attempt to force Ijaws in Ondo to Odua anthem as one of such experiments.


Residents of Ondo State of the Ijaw extraction have kicked against the state government adoption of the Odua anthem

The Ijaws urged the state government to immediately put on hold the Odua anthem adoption and conferred with Ijaw leaders to come up with the Ijaw version of the anthem if it must be sung in public places.


It would be recalled that the dissolved State Executive Council last week approved the adoption of the Odua anthem to be sung after the National Anthem at official and public functions.

It said the Odua anthem was meant to project the tradition and culture of the Yoruba tribe.

But the Ijaws described the action as highly provocative and very irritating, saying it portends a deliberate affront to the peace loving Ijaws of Ondo State.

The Ijaws accused Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of running Info without recourse to the pluralistic nature of the State.

Representatives of the Ijaws in the Ondo House of Assembly, Hon. Success Torhukerhijo representing Ese-Odo Constituency, said it was preposterous to adopt an anthem for the state in Yoruba language without thinking of the concerns of the Ijaws where the state has two ethnic nationalities- the majority Yoruba and the minority Ijaw.

Hon Torhukerhijo in a statement issued in Akure said it was a ploy to obliterate the Ijaws from the history of Ondo State.

Torhukerhijo urged Governor Akeredolu to tow the path of his predecessors who he said created a Subordinate Area Council which enjoyed almost equal status with other Local Governments in the state in 1981.

He said the action has put an average right thinking Ijaw man into psychological trauma saying it smacked of lack of social equality and an antithesis to a united, just and free society.

According to him: “It is perplexing that the Governor in spite of his pedigree does not possess the political will for an all-inclusive government and the Ijaws of Ondo State have been consistently subjected to neglect and abandonment on issues of state by his executive and administrative actions.

“It is pitiable that the Ijaws with a lot of qualified manpower do not have a Permanent Secretary, no Judge in the State High Court and we are short-changed in every facet of the State public service by Governor Akeredolu’s executive and administrative actions. It is pathetic that we have only one Magistrate Court in the whole of the over 250 communities in Ijaw land and no Magistrate is posted to the place.

“The Governor is beckoned to strive to run an all-inclusive Government by considering the interest of the Ijaws in Ondo state in his administrative and executive actions and in all aspects of governance.

“This is intolerable and is outrightly rejected by the Ijaw ethnic nationality.”

Biafra is landlocked, so they will pay huge money to use our seas which Yoruba will not..

Sentiment and emotion will not make you read here

Reading this post gave me a peep into your psychological make up. You are mentally deranged and out of touch with reality. Yoir family should take your phone away from you and be seeking psychiatric help

christistruth01:
Why are they so desperate for Bonny and Opobo though all Nigeria know both are Ijaw

Why do you think they keep making the same mistake

It is like Kenya trying to Claim America because Obama's father was from Kenya and English is spoken in both Countries

Did you read the excerpts, proofs and links littered all over the threads....or you must be stupid 24/7

Ijaw and their audio everything. Audio population, audio warlords, audio history

9182736455O1999:

by bringing an old news

People were killed and you are calling it old news

22o62021:
When this one happen?

Recently.

Imagine the type of lowlife you have to be for you to ignore the foreigners killing your people but the only way you can bite is to attack the person that posts the news

I pray I dont live the type of life whereby both Fulani and Ijaw can come to my land and kill my people as they please

In a fashion similar to their onslaught in Elepete-Igbo Olomu, Agric, Ikorodu community, the notorious Ijaw cult boys on Saturday, April 29, 2017 struck again.

They went on a rampage and attacked Ojokoro Newtown, Owutu Agric community, causing loss of lives and destruction of properties, including houses and vehicles.

According to eyewitnesses who chose to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal, the Ijaw attackers stole into the community in the dead of the night brandishing sophisticated guns and cutlasses and shooting indiscriminately to cause panic. Their mission was made easier by the PHCN power outage which rendered the community into pitch darkness. Riding motor bikes under the thick darkness, the militant boys caught the residents unaware and seem to target night community watch teams on duties.

The reason for the attack remains unclear, but unconfirmed sources said the cult group was angry that one of the community watch teams reported an alleged plan attempt by the group to sabotage gas pipeline in the neighbourhood to the police. It was also gathered that some informants within the police apparently leaked the information to the group. The police however denied that any of their officers was complicit in the attack. Some of the community watch teams were feared killed in the attack, some residents were also murdered in this dastardly act, while others escaped with injuries. Many residents abandoned their homes and took refuge in nearby bushes.

The head of the ijaw militant’s boys was killed by the combined military squad, while some escaped, but the military squad is still carrying out their investigation to forestall future occurrence.

mrvitalis:
Which abiola are we talking about ? Same corrupt abiola ?

Same abiola north used to remove and deal with awolowo ?

Na stupidity dey worry them. Mumu people. The same Abiola that stopped ships containing bibles that were heading into Nigeria. That is the same monster that they are talking about

DubaiLandLord1:
Trash!

Ekwueme never contested for the Nigeria presidency.

Even in igbo land were APGA had a structure, APGA lost woefully to a Fulani man in PDP, you now expect APGA to win in the. South West were they have no structure?

After all these ramblings can you answer the question.....did Yoruba vote him or not?

DubaiLandLord1:
Where is your evidence Fulanis killed Abiola?

A Kanuri man was the president during the Incanceration of MKO.

A Tapa man was the president when he died.

And a Yoruba man from Ogun eventually ruled Nigeria from 1999-2007.

We kicked out the Military from power. IBB resigned, Abacha died, Abdulsalam saw the handwriting and quickly hand over to a Yoruba man in 2007.

In 2023, Tinubu will also be your president, no matter how you wail online reach, nothing go happen.

You know the level of stupidity and denial you have to live in to defend the same people that killed both Awolowo and Abiola. Na mumu you mumu, no come dey do like say them swear for you join

An admin deleted my post where i said

"Igbo did not vote for Abiola but Fulani killed him gabadaya. And you yoruba fools stilll voted Fulani Buhari in 2015 and 2019. Dont be stupid this evening, its TGIF"


Igbo did not vote for Abiola but voted for another yoruba called Obasanjo twice after that.

Yoruba have never voted for Igbo from the days of Ekwueme to Ojukwu. Who has atood by who on more occassions? Who owes who?

Nobody is underrating Obiano. The man is just overhyped by Ndi Anambra

ekineme:
Ebonyi state is not doing bad interms of development in my opinion.
I think Ebonyian has been lucky in terms of leadership from Dr sam egwu(Education), to Martin Elechi( empowerment and Engr.Dave umahi( infrastructure).
The positive trend is that each government trys to continue from previous administration effort instead of abandoning it.

Elechi did nothing for Ebonyi

DitariDisciple2:
You foolishness on Nairaland does not change anything.

But your own foolishness is in NL and even enters real life too. Your own is worse

DitariDisciple2:
So what are they?

A different ethnic group. When the whitemen wrote about Ijaws, the incorrectly spelt it as 'jos', (just like they spelt Igbo as 'Eboe' in some of their literature) and not Brass. It shows Brass is historically a distinct group that was enveloped into the Ijaw franchise
