Even Anambra North

chai...dat means they don't even have big place in the south east

AuschwitzPrefec:


The truth must prevail and the Ebonyi Ibo must know he was and still is not an Ibo but an assimilated and conquered non Ibo tribe.
.

I keep saying it that ebonyi people are different ethnicity...they are not Igbos.....thank God people are beginning to say the truth.

Ebonyi people will be greatest in africa as seperate people

before nko... We all know Ebonyi people are not igbos.

Parachoco:
So Biafra will be made up of

Anambra

Abia

Enugu

And


Imo State

enugu belong to Igala na

Igbos should know Asari Dokubo remain an Ijaw son, so they should reason well before plan attack on him......also they remembered that Kalabari is one of the Ijaw Kingdoms, so they should open their brains reason properly before threatening Kalabari kingdom....

I don't know why Igbos are taking this upon themselves...south east is not the only region guarding by Ijaw boys,,,,Ijaw boys are equalling guarding some north centre states and north east boko haram places too, but no day this people came out to complain or accused the Ijaw boys of killing innocent indigenes, only the Igbos lying that Asari Dokubo forces are killing innocent igbos...where?

President Vola Ahmed Tinubu should not mind those propagandists as Asari Dokubo men are putting the country in good shapes by eliminating beasts and terrorists from the country.

God blessed nigeria.
God blessed President Hola Ahmed Tinubu.

These online igbos are ingrate......Ijaw boys are not killing innocent people in imo and anambra,,,we are only protecting the people from UGM ESN for enforcing sit at home....Ijaw boys are even the reason Igbos are sleeping with their two eyes closed in anambra and abia, mostly imo state......Ijaw boys you are accusing wrongly are the ones that restored peace in imo state......so you online Igbos should be more grateful

Igboid:


Lol!
You obviously not an Igbo speaker.
If you are, you will know that Izzi, Ezza and Ikwo are typical Igbo dialects. The numbers 1-10 is same as in central Igbo, the syntax and words are same.
Only difference is intonation. Ebonyi dialects are highly tonal. Linguists studied Ezza dialect and found out it has mutual intelligibility score of 90% with far away Owerri dialect. I can imagine that the mutual intelligibility between Ezza and Nkanu will be as far as 97% as they are neighbors.

The Igbo dialects are mutually intelligible in a continum, meaning the closer the dialects speakers are to each other geographically, the more the intelligibility and vice versa.
This isn't same with Epie-Attisa, Abua-Odual, Abureni and Izon.
They totally mutually unintelligible, the number system are unrelated and words for basic things are not same too.

quiet...you don't lie to me....Ezza or izzi and Abakaliki speak far different dialect from igbo....when an igbo man speaks, I know this is igbo despite I don't understand igbo...but when ebonyi man speaks the first thing that will come to my mind is benue.


Let me write Kalabari numbers 1-10 and also write Ondo Ijaws numbers 1-10 then compared them and tell me the differences if you see...note, Kalabari dialect and Arogbo dialect of Ondo are the farthest dialect.

Ondo Ijaws dialect
Arogbo,,,Apoi,, Furupagha
One = keni.
Two = mamu.
Three = tarr.
Four = niin.
Five = sonron
Six = sindio.
Seven= sonoma
eight = ninne
Nine = isen
Ten = oyi.

Kalabari or Ibani will say:
One = ngei
Two = mai
Three = tere
Four = iniin
Five = sono
Six = sondio
Seven = sonoma
eight = inine
Nine = iseni
Ten = oyi.

What's up guy?
How e be for you?
E clear for your eyes abi?



So if Ondo people dialect can be this intelligible with rivers Ijaws, how much more delta Ijaws dialects? have you reason of bayelsa dialects?


Ijaw language is just tonal...
So it need exposure to understand each other and not learning.

I am understand many Ijaw dialects not because I learn but because I was exposed to it and begin to understand.

In delta state here, Warri North and Warrri south west Ijaws cannot understand with Burutu Ijaws,,,,Bomadi Ijaws Patani Ijaws....it not because they they speak different languages but just that they need exposure to understand each other.

Igboid:


Yes.
Ijaw is a language. It's called Izon and it has related languages we call Ijoid language like Kalabari, Okirika Biseni, Nembe languages.

But Abua-Odual is not an Ijaw or Ijoid language.
You notice this easily once you look at the numbers from 1-10 in Abua and Ijaw/Ijoid Languages.
They have no single link! Not one similarity.
So how is Abua/Odual Ijaw?

you are indirectly writing about igbo... I keep asking you Igbos why ebonyi people speaking different language with Igbo?
I keep asking you why ebonyi people saying they are not igbos?
I keep asking why ebonyi people are been regard as osu people by the igbos?
Why is the Nsukka people speak different language from igbo? Though insukka language can be igboid but ebonyi language has no resemblance with igbo language.
ebonyi language even sound more like benue languages.

saintfieldcastro:
The kingship dynasty in Opobo, Kalabari, Bonny and Okrika were set up by Igbos who were one of the Founders of the said towns.
IbaniChuka or IbaniChuku depending on the history book was an Igbo man, same as King Pepple of Bonny, Amacree of Kalabari and Jaja of Opobo. During the precolonial and colonial era, they recorded themselves as Igbo, not Ijaw.
Pepple said his ancestors came from Igbo hinterlands. IbaniChuka said his ancestors came from Afam and Obeakpu in Igbo land, Jaja came from Amaigbo. They all spoke Igbo and traded more with their Igbo kits and kin.

they weren't set up by igbos..... during those days,,Ijaws never allowed igbos who are their slaves to speak the Ijaw language.......there was no way Ijaws who forbidden their slaves to speak their language will allowed them to set up their throne..u nor get sense.

Those Ijaws make many of their igbo slaves as wives because no dime was been paid to marry a slave......it were the children born with those slaves talking of having igbo mother's but they are ashamed to say their mothers were slaves married with force.
but not all the eastern Ijaws took slaves as wives, only few did.

Ijaw Nation has three regions namely eastern Ijaws,,,Centre Ijaws and western Ijaws.
eastern Ijaws are the Ijaws of rivers state and akwa ibom Ijaws........centre Ijaws are the Bayelsans......western Ijaws are the ones in delta, edo and Ondo.

only few few of the eastern Ijaws took their female slaves as wives...not even a legitimate wives but just like a sex companion but were later pregnant and gave birth........ their real wives are Ijaws who gave birth to pure Ijaws while those slaves who were their sex chicks though also some time gave birth too.

So know this different from now on..
This is a big secret I am revealing to you

Akpangbo:



So ijaw cannot rule themselves until an Igbo Marchant has to come and rule them. Almost south south kings has Igbo ancestry.

he is Ijaw..

Jaja was a slave who was later reintegrated into Ijaw society through some spiritual rites and became full Ijaw... I never even read in the bible where all the slaves taken by israelites were later returned or God gave them instruction to returned those slaves since they were not Jacob descendants but egyptians.

infact some of the egyptian slaves after years and decades became Israelites....I never read in the bible where God condemned it..........so why should the igbo slaves taken by Ijaws be returned?

For we to returned the igbo slaves, then you people have to tell israelites to returned the egyptian slaves.

I don't know what concern igbos with what we did with our slaves.
if we had killed those our slaves,,no could asked us to why...same way as we made one of trusted and hard working slaves to be reintegrated into Ijaw society because of his love for Ijaw, no one has a right to question us.

JOemmy:



Ijaws are boasting of sellng igbo slaves because of their proximity to the seashores were the white slave merchants dock their ships to buy slaves that were gotten from Igbo hinterlands not necessarily because ijaws ever conquered and enslaved any igbo community.

quiet my friend....we Ijaws conquered the igbos very well....that's why you people want revenge in tactical way by adding us to biafra so as claim superior over Ijaw too...but una plan failed......we are the champions,,aaahhhhh Izon!

Saltinny:






Don't forget Ijaw tribe as whole is only 3 LGA in balyesa State.

your mumu na follow come

Saltinny:





Jaja the slave went on to rule you and your entire lineage because of his stronger DNA, can't you see the difference?

forget that..Jaja is Ijaw....

rummmy:
Igbo blood never dies no matter where you reign or die.
Jaja was and can never be an ijaw man instead he enslaved the ijaws in his domain.

we bought Jaja with our money as slave...

paramakina202:


Ijaw is non existent. A tribe without language that is why so called slaves still speak igbo language as mother tongue till tomorrow.
All the kings of Bonny and Opobo are igbos. BTW many Igbos freely migrated to kalabari and settled who were never a slave to nobody.

Ijaw remain the best tribe created by God in his likening..
Ijaw even predate Israel Nation....it wise to say israel came from Ijaw due to some similarities.

Ijaw is the greatest tribe in africa..

though, Ijaw is the 3rd largest tribe in nigeria behind Hausa and yoruba

Afonjanawerey:






Why should we come and take them away the people living in their ancestral land? my point is ..... they are Igbos
the truth hurt you so deep

another Ijaw spotted

enemybulldozer:
You have come again today with your usual lies and propaganda. Have you forgotten that am here for liars and propagandists like you?

Now, let me dissect this junk you came up with, I will start by telling you that you and your cohorts should stop this dick measuring you lots are fond of doing with the great Igbos. Besides Igbo is not the only tribe in nigeria I don't know why you liars and deceivers chose Igbo for your dick measuring contest. Ijaw is no match with the Igbos and you know this from your innermost hearts.

King Jaja of Opobo you mentioned was once an Igbo slave yet he ruled your people as a king. Asari dokubo's ancestor was an Igbo commoner but when he got to Ijaw land he became a great man to the extent that his descendants like asari is now a very big figure in ijaw land today.

Your adaka (gorila in Igbo) declared a republic that lasted less than 10days because he couldn't defend it.
He later joined his enemies (nigerian govt) to fight the people (Igbos /biafrans) he was supposed to join forces together with, to achieve what he wanted.. and this heavy mistake of him made him to die by the bullets of adekule who wants to take all the glory for himself.
Boro failed because he allowed himself to be blinded by hate and foolishness. He paid the ultimate price for not using his brain.
You cannot compare boro and ojukwu because, when boro declared a republic that couldn't last for 10days, Ojukwu in the other hand declared a republic that lasted for 3 good yrs because he stood his ground and defended it out of his intelligence and bravery. And this was what adaka boro was lacking.

In conclusion, ijaw is no match to the great and indivisible Igbos take it or leave it.

igbo is greater than Ijaw...? Oboy u be mugu.

Ijaw is one of the greatest tribe in africa...Ijaws are always greater than your online igbo.

ojukwu used Ijaw oloibiri oil money which the eastern government hijacked to sustain the war.....Great and infallible warlord and prophet Isaac Boro used only his personal money to sustain his republic for 12 good days.

The infallible great and almighty warlord Isaac Boro did the right thing which God sent him for by fighting Ijaw enemies called biafrans.

Isaac Boro will forever be celebrated by southern nigerians every year

paramakina202:


Ijaw as a tribe doesn't exist that is why an Igbo man can become Ijaw man tomorrow, no be juju be that?

mugu he was a slave bought by the Ijaws and owned by the Ijaws..
What do you want the Ijaws to do with a slave they already bought and owned? Should they killed him or should integrate him to the Ijaw society?

Why should I returned what I have already bought with my money

Lanretoye:
Your blindness is not likely to ket you see some of those guys are service personel,u can never see those in vests with special forces inscription.

they are not service men but Asari trained boys.....you can as well join if you want...just contact me and I will direct you how to join the force.

Afonjanawerey:




I live in another country as a citizen but does it change me from being an Igbo, like the Lagos deputy Governor, this is why i say you have empty brain full of dustbin.


Jaja is Igbo man and so as his offsprings

oya come and take him na... Obori

Obi2saveNigeria:


It's either you're a naive adult or an ignorant kid. Boro was just an individual among millions, he has no mandate. Yet you're comparing him with Ojukwu who was the Eastern region governor general? Ojukwu had the mandate of the Eastern region because he was their ruler. He didn't wake up and declare Biafra rather he consulted with the Eastern region house of assembly. They told him to go ahead and declare Biafra. On the day of declaration, the chief judge of Eastern region administered his oath of office as president of Biafra. There were delegates from the provinces that made up the region.

Boro was just an individual with his own opinion, so what right has he to impose on all others given he had no mandate to represent them?

Anyways, nairaland is a forum of largely low IQ people. You can't go to Quora and make such senseless comparison between Ojukwu's declaration and that of Boro.

was kanu also a governor general before he is leading secession? sense is really far from igbo youthz.

Boro consulted his Ijaw people before declaration...
Today,, That's why we still have IYC.....IYC was declared at Boro home town to continue Boro struggle for Ijaw Republic......

Fortruth:


Boro did not have any legitimate claim to be leading the Ijaw nation. He cant just wake up and declare anything without the support of folks…. Unlike Ojukwu, Ironsi, and even Gowon, that had relevant authority and legitimacy to do what they were doing.

Anyway, like Dokubo, after all the noise, they went to support the same Nigg Area that ultimately killed them…

Boro an Ijaw man have no right to lead Ijaw freedom but kanu an igbo have the right to lead igbo struggle..... before sense go reach igbo people, he go teeey

Afonjanawerey:





Mumu i spit on you

mugu....he denounced his igboness and go spiritual rite before becoming Ijaw.

orion7:
Jaja was Igbo. At least I know that much

but he was later an Ijaw man....he reign as Ijaw king and died as Ijaw king.
