Putindbutt:
During the slave trade in the 19th century, there was a heavy presence of Igbo slaves from the Igbo hinterland.
Further injection of Igbo people, culture and language came after the slave trade was abolished and all the captured slaves brought recently from Igbo land to Opobo and Bonny to be sold couldn't be sold off again, then the Igbo slaves SETTLED then there AMONG the Ijaw natives. The proportion of the Igbo people to the Ijaw was highly significant in both areas that Igbo language became the common spoken language. In addition, the Igbo language was spoken as a second language by all the minorities living along the Niger Delta and was used as a common means of communication with the Igbo people from the hinterlands.
After the Igbo slaves settled there, it was noted that the natives refused to teach their language to the Igbo people and outsiders but rather they reserved it as a secret language instead. This factor led to the heavy decline in the usage of Ibani in Bonny, the total death of the Language in the Opobo area and the pervasive usage of Igbo language in both areas. When the christian missionaries landed in Bonny, note that the natives did not present Ibani to the missionaries but they presented Igbo as their language instead.
This history is clearly captured in the work of Roger Blench of which a snapshot image of his pdf book is shown below.

PoliticsRe: Top 6 Powerful Women In Oil And Gas. by yorubademon24:
Alakija was just a Lap dog and a cum box used by the northerners for their selfish Aims. aunty's faaji service has ended, she has been stripped naked, disgracefully removed from Forbe-list and FAMFAM oil and gas aren't among the oil producing companys in Nigeria. she is basically now feeding on crumbs from her masters.

Her only notable achievement is building a sky scrapper on 3D for God knows how long.!

Billionaires in dollar. cheesy cheesy
