Oyinbo should be in Abia State, their kith and jin are ust across the border, they were cut out to Rivers State by Gowon because of the oil in their land.

They are pure Igbo and Ndi-Abia. Obiigbo is the name.

What is the meaning of Obigbo and Oyigbo in Igbo language?
Both are arguably Igbo words.

waternogetenemy:
I notice you are very ignorant.

Bonny and Opobo were the loading port for Thousands of Igbo carried off in the transatlantic slavery.


No doubt ijaws were used to hold them there.


However, when the transatlantic slavery was abolished, they became abandoned there.


They out numbered the Ijaws and till this day, all speak their native Igbo dialect.


To prove this, if you go further down into Bioko Island in Equatorial Guinea, just like Bonny, Opobo, you have Igbo tribe and Igbo speakers there.


Opobo and Bonny is an igbo island never ijaw.

Bros you don't know. Don't start by being abusive in gaining knowledge.
Opobo land was given to Jaja by Andoni people. Jaja first with his entourage came to Andoni. But Andoni people foresaw a clash with him and decided to cede a vacant land to him. That vacant land is present day Opobo. I may not argue that Ibo might not outnumber ijaw there presently but most people there prefer to be identified as Ijaw including my girlfriend Tina. Lol.

uchennamani:
I have never have doubts that Ikwere is Igbo. This is not even to be argued against. But then, as Igbos, our egalitarian nurture permits people to be who they want to be. People could say they are Ikwere, which is Igbo too.

What are you people so ashamed of this your Igbo that you want to smear it on everyone?
Bros we call igbos Isuoma. Ask any Ikwerre person the meaning.

ariesbull:
America CA speak English cos we have English that migrated to America and colonised them also

Are you saying igbo migrated and colonised then there


Igbo are super humans then

Ikwerres migrated to there and settled there. They became igbos just as English men became Americans. How is this difficult for you to understand?

ariesbull:
Mugu so they were Igbo when they left Abia and then came to Oyigbo and no more Igbo


You see how stupidity is doing you...is it geriatric or inherited ? Tell me the version of your stupidity

Inebriation is one of your qualities. Ndoki people left Rivers State for Abia State.

ariesbull:
if their kind don't make them Igbo then what

Your mumu too much ! Kind mins siblings ! They are what their siblings are cos of blood

Mugu

Ineptitude runs in your blood. Some kind left for Abia State from Oyigbo and you now refer them all as Igbos. You be iwirinwo

Timetravel88:
Shut up you degenerate numbskull, the indigenous community in Obigbo have their kith and kin across the boundary in Abia state.

There kins in Abia do not make them Igbo or change their name . Oponu

uchennamani:
Of course, bro. Ikwere is Igbo.

My brother there are more English speakers in America than England. Size shouldn't deceive you. It has been established that the migration route was through Ikwerre to the hinterland. Igbos left Ikwerre land just as Americans left England. With these few words of mine you will agree with me that Igbo is Ikwerre.

Judolisco:
I don't understand... Because how can you be debating and celebrating over someone speaking a language,language wey na d most dominant language in d east and south south...

I think we are of the same school of thought. Igbo is the dominant language even in Port Harcourt where I come from. Anyone who stays in PH will understand some level of Igbo since there are many words they share in common with the ikwerres. Sim grew up in Ikwerre land. The igbos are confused with the kind of Igbo he spoke not knowing he was missing Ikwerre, Igbo and his native Opobo variation of Igbo.

ariesbull:
they are so scared of Igbo...Igbo are not to be Cowed

Yiu can imagine minorities enslaving Igbo when it was the other way round when Aros raided these guys and established settlement in their places till date ..we have Aro villages even in Akwa Ibom all the way to Ikwerre and Ijaw lands

Igbo settled there and there is nothing they will do then! That's why we have Igbo languages spoken widely today in Niger Delta


Do masters speak the language of slaves

Aros never conquered any place to establish settlement. Aros were welcomed as priests and native doctors. People gave them place to dwell so that it would no longer require going to Igboland to seek for divination. A time came when they became overbearing and nauseating that communities that hitherto hosted them wanted them all out by all means. My community opportunity came during the civil war.

prophetfire:
He's from Opobo in Rivers state and Opobo people are descendants of King Jaja of Opobo, an Igbo slave from Nkwerre in Imo state. So Opobo people are totally Igbos.

You lie. Jaja and his family have Igbo roots. The rest are ijaw people who left Bonny with him sympathetically.

Judolisco:
so if a southern kaduna man speaks hausa.... That makes him automatically hausa....lol...wetin special about speaking language wey no be your own? I speak Nupe now because I grew up in Niger state... So that makes me a Nupe man automatically?

Igbos mumu no be small. Most people in Rivers State speak some level of Igbo because they are the most overwhelming migrants in Rivers State. Aside that some other ethnic groups are in the same language group with the igbos. In Opobo where Sim comes from most people speak igbos because it was a trading outpost in those days. Jaja was the leader. History tells us that he was an Igbo man. He could speak ijaw and his native Igbo. Many people there mixed up ijaw and Igbo. Although many ijaw family who supported him in the crises he had in Bonny moved with him to Opobo. Most people in Opobo are of ijaw roots.

uchennamani:
Opobo, Ikwere, etc is Igbo.

But then, it is part of the egalitarian nature of the Igbo people for an Igbo person/town to decide they don't want to be referred to as Igbos and would rather go by the names of their towns like

Not a problem.

Igbo is Ikwerre my brother.

izubext007:
His ancestors are igbos, slavery makes them to lose their identity.

Jaja no doubt an Igbo man left Bonny with many ijaw family to form Opobo. Jaja offsprings may be said to have Igbo roots but overwhelming majority of Opobo are ijaw including Fubara the governor.

Timetravel88:
Oyigbo is a corruption of the name Obigbo which is the original name of the locality before the war

Una dey crase no be small. People in Oyigbo say their name na Oyigbo. Igbo attaching by force they change their name.

He is finished

Bukola94:
U seems know him well. He was Muftau set, many were better players than him, but dem no get the connection and person to introduce them to NFF

Don't mind stupid people quoting who knows nothing about him.

Mikel wouldn't have become a player of repute without a family member introducing him to NFF. Here is Africa. You don't need to reciprocate good gestures on the person who helped you it might be another family member. A family member took Mikel's father to Jos. This is Africa.

OloYeOfEgbE:
Atleast we get property...fastforward to 2023,we have bought 80% of our assets in full force and don't forget we have bought 54% of SW lands while the fulanis have murdered and forcefully taken 23% of SW lands..

We will keep buying all your inheritance and make sure what you have is what you worked for

No matter how much you buy of a place inasmuch as it isn't your hometown, one day you will sell it. If you don't sell it your offsprings will sell it to the offsprings of the person you bought from. Mark it.

Liberians have gone back to Nigerias 2015.

PortHarcourtcit:
because he said we the ikwerres are not IGBO? We reject IGBOs in totality

Not just totality but with passion.

Wahala

FuckingMachine:
Is that a bible?
That's the biggest Bible I've ever seen.

Please don't compare the efficacy of Bible with that he is holding.
If God will be answering Nigerians prayers this way out leaders would have changed since.

Can you stop fouling this thread with your demented ignorance!!

Can you tell me where I said something fouling?

The man speaking is a daft. You can tell it from the look of his face. It has been established that he is a bastard from his native Rumuewhor community.
Ikwerres once again have got nothing in common with the Igbos. This can't be reversed. Ikwerres from time have with everything in them deny being Igbos. This happened before, during and after the war. DNA sequencing has proven this.
Malaysia and Indonesia speak similar languages but different people. Ukraine and Poland, Norway and Sweden, Denmark, Finland. German and Netherlands. Spain and Portugal. All these people speak similar languages and igbos recognize them as different people. Why igbos keep engaging near-down syndrome people like this fellow to bring Ikwerres to ridicule I do not know.
I went to meet Asari to ask him if his father ever used ikwerres despite being just some few meters separated from his native Kalabari as slaves. He said no because they are not igbos. He said his father only used the igbos.

Nigerians don dey lack common sense o! Which kin stvpid move bdis?
He no create techub or ict centers or increase electricity supply or start some infrastructural project.
Na free wifi werey dey give!

How that one wan take add value?
Had it been its for universities now i 4 understand, this is how governors start with misplaced priority and their people clapping hands for them. Then later they'll blame right thinking governors from other state for utilizing their state fund claiming its Niger delta oil money

He is starting what he can't finish. Unfortunately people don't vote INEC does.

Until certain lines are expunged from Koran the world will have no peace. There is no gainsaying about this.
Mohamed instructed Muslims to kill and eradicate Jews and Christians anywhere they might find them. For this reason even if Jew evacuate where they are presently Muslims will still look for them to kill in any part of the world they. To them it is a divine instruction. Muslims in Yemen with no boundaries with Israel hate Jews. Those in Nigeria are taught by default to hate Christians and Jews. You don't need to offend them. Once you identify as a Christian or a Jew you are automatically hated.
Mohammed had issues with Jews when he was forming his religion. The Jews refused to recognize him as a prophet. The Christians also did not. This was the beginning of his animosity against them.

Osanoghodua1:
The Conflict involving Israel is a very delicate one, Nigeria a secular state should avoid been part of this evil axis of Islamic organization. If the Nigeria state don't handle this with care, it will boomerang on her. Just stay clear from Islamic coalition against the People of God. No nation can stand what Israel has resisted all these years. Why can't Allah deploy bombs from where ever he is hiding to destroy Israel? This tells you that this very Allah is a dead one.

North with their Islam doesn't know what is about to hit them. Let them attack American interest and see America look into division of Nigeria to weaken her influence internationally. America has every country weak button.

Kushites:
It's been happening all over the Sahelian region, not just Nigeria, due to increased desertification forcing herders southwards.

Even Ghana has a farmer/herdsmen crisis for the same reasons.

Plus we have not seen Nigeria bombing and indiscriminately slaughtering 15,000 innocent civilians like Israel is doing.

You have selective amnesia. So Israel just went to Gaza to slaughter people? Tell your terrorist religious followers to release Israelis they have in captivity.

drerocker:
Tell Hamas to first release Israeli hostage b4 peace n talk will comense

The stupid people are saying nothing on why Israelis are in Gaza. Release the Israelis in captivity. No negotiation will do otherwise. Gaza let my people go.

Gudguyonly:
I will not insult you as you did, but just want to remind you that Jesus is a prophet so Jews didn't help him become popular. With or without Jews, Jesus will be popular.

If I call Mohamed anything other what u call him you will be annoyed. Why then do you call Jesus a prophet? Please respect Christians we see Jesus as a messiah not prophet.
