Isobos are in Obubra LGA, they are Igboid with lots of influence from their non Igbo neighbors.

Agbos are not Igboid, they are Ekoid, they don't share boundaries with Isobo, as Agbo( also called Legbo) is in Abi LGA, while Isoko is in Obubra LGA.
Take a look at the appended Map of Cross River below to appreciate that even though Abi is close to Obubra, they are both not contiguous.

See an old nairaland thread about the Isobos :https://www.nairaland.com/3425009/meet-isobos-igbo-speaking-tribe

Thanks bro. Still on the Agbos, are they strictly Ekoid or is it something similar to the Opobo situation? I ask because even Ogoja has lots of Igbos as recorded in history.

garfield1:
Thank you for this expose,you remind me of pazienza.you should comment more often

Do you by any chance know the meaning of 'ekureku'?
Also, are the Isobos found in Abi LGA? Do they share similarities with the Agbos?

Sorry about your pains and losses. It's good you brought it here for all to see. Now, the best thing to do is to support the quest for Biafra with all you've got. There's no human right in Nigeria and don't expect it any time sooner. Biafra is the surest way.

ProudDick:
There’s no showdown with the south. All the northerners want is one Nigeria where they can share from the oil proceeds. Without this they will be poor like Niger and chad. Everyone knows the era of conquest is long gone. No one can take other people’s land in this age. And any war with the south will be the end of Nigeria. They are scared of war. Look at the war they fear Amotekun. They know what opc is capable of. I watched the channels this morning. You can feel the fear of migetti alla man.

So you naively think. As any middlebelter and he will explain convincingly to you. At present, conquest is on going. People are being killed and their lands forcefully occupied by foreign fulanis. Wake up from your slumber.

proudevil:
They will read and never comments because its doesn't fit their narrative.

They'll read and skip because they know your devious aim. You and OP are only wasting your time. The gross evil your people are known for will soon be visited on them. Trying to deflect attention on Igbos will never work.

goodnessme1:
Can yorubas defeat any tribe in nigeria.
I mean the minority tribes.





But Amotekuns no get shame to brag about war by entire nigerian(backed by british) against Easterners.


If the war was against Amotekuns,within two weeks,there will be no coward remaining.

When will my people be sensitive enough to easily identify their enemies are trying to deflect attention from the main problem? The OP is hausa/fulani who's trying to create a battle between Igbos and Yorubas. Isn't it obvious enough? Nna ehn! Ike gwuru.

gwafaeziokwu:
The reason I laugh when fools boast about their exploits during the civil war. The British fought with Biafra and we held our own for 30 months. Ojukwu knew Nigeria under Gowon stood no chance against a determined Biafra. He banked on
Britain beign neutral in the war based on their christian background and the fact that they saw first hand the injustices against the Igbos. That was his only error of judgement. If he had known that they would descend on Biafra with all arsenal in their armoury with propaganda to match on the world stage using BBC, he would have made effort to put out his own propaganda before the war commence. The British public would have called for sanctions on their leadership and maybe one or two heads might have rolled.

The real biafra story reached the world too late. Considering that 500,000 children were saved when relief started coming. The death of 1,000,000 children would have been averted only if britain had one atom of shame. America was sympathetic but they have a fierce Vietnam war to prosecute.

From the depth of our hearts we appreciate all the good people around the world who flew into uli airstrip in pitch darkness to deliver aids to dying children. The foreign Irish priests who resolutely refuse to abondon their sheep to their death, but stayed with biafra till death. All the missionary doctors ,nurses and health workers who stood side by side with us, avoiding shells and bombs, treating the wounded, performing surgeries under thatch roofs, God bless your beautiful souls.

You couldn't have said it better! The British government will someday atone for the slaughter they aided against Biafrans.
Notice how all the well-known demon possessed one Nigerianists on Nairaland will avoid this thread. Despite the overwhelming proof of the injustice meted against Igbos, they're still show their hatred. Tufia!

garfield1:
There not efik.efik in cross river are located in 5 lgas of southern cross river.abi lga is in central cross river and are made up of two major ethnicities which are bahumono and agbo.the bahumono has 4 wards while the agbos have 6 wards.the agbos trace their origin to igboland and share boundary with ebonyi state.ekureku where alex is from is at the boundary with ebonyi.after ekureku,its aba-omege.there are a lot of igbos in ekureku,their dialect has a lot of igbotic influence.

Cross river has almost hundred ethnicities,efiks are few but because of education and early contact with the west,they quickly spread their language and culture.

Don't mind the impostor whose stock in trade is to sow discord among Southerners. This imposter you quoted is fulani disguising as Igbo. Be mindful of him.

The third Alafin of Oyo, Sango Olukoso's mother was Nupe...

Lol. Are you begging because of Amotekun? This is a confirmation.

Expansion

From 1650 onward, the Oyo Empire entered a period of expansion, where it would extend its rule over most communities between the Volta River in the west to Benin and the Niger River in the east. The expansion of the Empire was made possible by the adept use of calvary and the use of part-time military forces recruited from its tributary states.

The height of Oyo's militaristic expansion was in 1748, following the subjugation of the Kingdom of Dahomey, which occured in two phases (1724–30, 1738–48). The empire then began trading with European merchants on the coast through the port of Ajase (Porto-Novo)

Lol @ your concocted history. Can you name just two ethnic groups in Nigeria that fell under Oyos rule? Chai, did the Oyos even know about the river Niger in the East? Did they even cross the Benin Empire of the Edo people?

Arrewa:
They did attack the Oyo people and drove them into Ibariba lands(meanwhile Ibariba people were so nice to Oyo, later on Oyo people's wars were Ibariba people's war too, they were like allies), after some decades, the Oyo kingdom restreghtened and later defeated the Nupe army, the defeat marked the renaissance of Oyo kingdom's power and might which stretched far across into the lands of the Ashanti.

Lol. Oyos never came close to the Ashanti region. Their highest push was Benin republic around the dahomey kingdom.

Arrewa:
As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i think this amoketun issue is being hypocritically blown out of proportion to expand hatred for other tribes especially the Fulanis. Why must we Christians be the brain behind the vast support for Amotekun when the Nigerian constitution is clear about the roles of the armed forces and police in the security of the country? Why must we form an ethnic militia to target fellow Nigerians when the constitution guarantees freedom of movement and doing business nationwide as long as we are Nigerians? What we fail to realize is that the south east cheering on Amotekun sees its as a synonym for their biafra agitations and they will rather support anything that will disband the relative peace and unity of Nigeria. The IPOB sympathizers will be the one to cry wolf when Amotekun starts targeting their tribesmen who commits various crimes in the south west. MURIC recently condemned the killing of a CAN pastor and sympathized with we Christians, how many Christians will condemn the killing of an imam or Muslims? Instead we rejoice when tragedy strikes them forgetting we are all humans before religion. Instead of emulating our Muslim brothers who have remained silent on this issue of Amotekun, we Christians are disturbing the cyberspace with hypocritical comments. Amotekun will never see the light of the day as long as we remain one Nigeria. It's a bad policy and a tribalistic security outfit aimed at persecuting other Nigerians. On behalf of we Christians, i condemn Amotekun. Let's learn to live in peace and harmony

Lol @ 'we Christians'. Since when did you become a Christian?

Racoon:
Full fledged jihad about to be unleashed on this nation. Any reasonable that never failed to see the systematic annihilation of christains in the core north and middle belt is lost forever.Jah save us.

He'll only save us if we stand up and fight. Nigeria is not the first country to face islamic terrorism. It's either an Egypt or Turkey is replicated here or a South Sudan emerges. The gods do not do for me what men ought to do for themselves.

AroleOduduwa2:
The systematic annihilation of the middle belt has been going on for sometime now and it’s totally supported by General Buhari led administration.

This is the sole reason they are opposing Amotekun, they want to move down south to continue with their annihilation without any resistance.

Thank God for visionary leaders like Fayemi, Akete and Seyi, God will punish all southern saboteurs

Pls, can you mention some southern saboteurs so we can upgrade our list?

We're watching on the resistance and persistence of the Yorubas on this issue. Destinies are being shaped at present.

Zimzy:
I pity for those villagers, by the time the enemy would return with the backing of the authorities directly or in directly it would be a massacre. I pray they settle it amicably but remember that fulani don't forgive not to talk about forgetting.

Tell that to the birds. Four days ago, a fulani village was attacked in Mali leaving 14 dead. Other countries are avenging any attacks they suffer from fulani herdsmen. Everyone bleeds. Cowards like you should go and willingly offer yourself as slaves to the fulanis.

myobjective:
You are right bro!

The Fulani elites are not really happy about the activities of criminal bandits and herdsmen but their is nothing they can do about it. Hausa-Fulani are not looking at taking any land but they want the unity of Nigeria to continue to have access to the crude oil and port of the south, nothing is wrong with that, what I'm worried about is the way poverty and illiteracy has ravage the region and how they are doing so little to change.

They can't afford to fight any war with any group in Nigeria without risky breaking up Nigeria reasons why some why secessionist are heating up the politicking with this Amotekun.

You can only deceive those who chose to remain in wishful land. Lands in Plateau, Kaduna, Gombe, Taraba, Nassarawa and Bauchi states have been taken over by fulanis yet you rap this lies here? Any way, fulanis will not stop the conquest and we know their plan A and B. We are watching.

jayfolarin:
I would expect the business success to be the case considering its literally the hausa's land and home. It's just baffling that despite the huge population disparity, the fulani has managed to control power completely in the north and through them, Nigeria.

I think focus should be shifted back to this issue. As i sincerely believe that the one way to clip the fulani wings and their conquest escapades towards other region in Nigeria is to go back to the beginning and put the hausa man back in charge of his immediate society.

The huge population of the hausas mean that fulani controlling them hold a key voting population in Nigeria. This is something that shouldn't have been allowed to happen and can still be corrected with the right tools.

If anyone has resources I can read up about hausa's subjugation by the fulani, please send me a link. Thanks

Lol. Southerners scared of fighting straight.
That strategy is a waste of time. Fulanis have ruthlessly caged the Hausa elites and rendered their talakawas as almajiris. If anyone wants to save his ethnic group, fight the fulanis (hausa/fulanis). If anyone want to save the Hausas, fight the Hausa/fulanis after which the freed Hausa elites can rally the remaining Hausas masses. Anything short of this is a waste of time.
The Kanuris are fighting off Fulani domination at present using Boko haram but the fulanis have so concealed it from others and are even using the opportunity for their own gain. Notice Boko has been confined to the Kanuri areas unlike before when they spread to the NW. Some Kanuri elites know this but seem powerless to do anything. The fulanis want to galvanize all these tribes in the north for showdown with the South. All these things are clearly visible but majority can't connect the dots. I wonder!
El Zakzaky is Hausa just like Aminu Kano. They're a resistance to the fulani conquest of the Hausas. Both were silenced. For the Kanuris, they have to tag along and enjoy the spoils if fulanis succeed in taking a huge chunk of the South.
We are watching.

Rosskii:
Your point is actually against any 'Fulani strike', as the low meat consumption means the situation will get TERRIBLE for our meat consumption and nutritional intake if the supplies are further reduced.

You have a strange logic that says ''you have little food anyway, so it won't hurt you much if we take away the little you have''.

Weird indeed.

Oh, and lifting the ''beef import ban'', to replace local beef simply means you'll pay a minimum 5 times more for beef than you currently do.

Good luck paying for your shaki and pomo in dollars!

I've always thought you're Yoruba but now I know better.
I'm not one of those who encourage the boycott of Beef because of the fulani militia rampage because I know that it will not really stop the attacks. A frontal confrontation will end the madness.
As for beef consumed in Nigeria, a lot still come from non fulanis both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria. Fulanis are not the only animal farmers in northern Nigeria and neighbouring countries. They're simply the biggest of them all with a wider nomadic culture.

double0seven:
"how many people have they killed in the southwest"

So you think you are making sense?

Your submission is one the most stupid I have ever read.

So we the southwest must wait to be overtaken by the fate of the middelbelt before it acts.

That is the exactly how an average Hausa/fulani reason. All is aimed at killing off any resistance to their plans.

Seun360:
Mbaise pipu

Quit being parochial. Ndi Imo are protesting against daylight robbery. How can a distant fourth position climb all the way to be the first in a state where the party already failed due to the actions and inactions of Rochas?

BabaRamota1980:
Bro, i understand. We have been there once. For the audacity of Ojukwu millions lost lives. Python was not anti Kanu, it was anti-Ibo. FG could have simply sorrounded and extracted Kanu from that compound without unecessary force. That was excessive force. They were not going into sambisa...they were going to an individual household.
If Army had to use that scale of force for one man it means they have not gained skills in use of surveillance and stealth to demolish opposition. They are still in primitive stages of using hardware.

But the puzzles of the big picture painted by Obasanjo is taking shape. Those who did not see before are now aware. For those who could see before, their vision did them no good. We are all in same boat.

I must say that your comments of late have been tangential most times to the previous ones. It's good that you've started to identify properly your enemy. The fact is that the resistance Igbos gave to the fulani agenda is the saving grace of other ethnic groups in Nigeria but no one understand this. Today, fulanis are bold enough to push their agenda to the 4th gear. Keep up educating Sarrki and his likes. The war nobody from the South wants will be brought on them whether they like it or not. I've seen it already and we in IPOB know it too. Danjuma has seen it too. The Hausa/fulanis have been training their young men in the art of warfare for long using Boko haram. All their elites know and are part of it. They see Amotekun as a similar tool by your people hence they'll fight tooth and nail to crush it to make their future fight a walk over. IPOB formed B.SS to tackle the murderous herdsmen and every other group condemned it not minding the reason for its formation. Fulanis fear resistance more than anything unfortunately other groups are aiding them unknowingly in their nepotistic agenda. Today, here we are.
War is coming. They'll never relinquish power in 2023 to any other group because it will set their plan behind by 8yrs. Let those that have ears hear my message again.

Picadelly:
It's time we wake up.. enough is enough. Why would one region feel dey are smart in there ways towards others while dey are not but dumb.Seeing this pics makes me feel so bad to be candid because of hw d north av been taken this amotekun issue..from the look of things there have never been one Nigeria.There is no day that would pass that u wouldn't hear Fulani killings or herdsmen and farmers crisis but u will never see any of this northerners condemning this attrocities. Herdsmen will leave there own land and encroach in others people farms destroying their plants and they will name it farmers and herdsmen crisis rather than looking at the issue and cautioning the herdsmen. It's really high time we all Nigerians stand up and ask questions were we need to,lets keep our religion, ethnicity etc aside and discuss the issues that will promote us as one and lead us forward. God bless Nigeria and Nigerians, one love.

You don't know what you want yet or you clearly don't have the balls to ask for it. Mr, you have no country. This Nigeria doesn't belong to you. You and yours are merely tolerated.

sarrki:
The truth is I supported Mr President thinking life, security and economy will prosper under him

I gave him the four years to fix things and consolidate the remaining four years

The truth is Muhammadu Buhari you have failed me , other well meaning Nigerians that has no affiliation to your party or government that never expected monetary nor gratification for supporting you

I supported you across religious and ethnic lines

Mr President you have disappointed me

You have failed ordinary Nigerians

You have failed God and humanity

Jubril has failed you guys. Lol

Amotekun777:
Look, I understand where you're coming from but, trust me... Nzeogwu was a good guy. I did a thorough research on this guy, read lots of books and fortunately had the privilege of speaking to an actual Biafra war vet. He might be a bit hot-headed and arrogant but never, proud.

OBJ was his best friend, never drank nvr womanized, a strict disciplinarian and even late Tai Solarin adored his courage and even named the most popular road in his school after him. I know this as an Ex student. Nzeogwu's plan was to install Awolowo as the President. He never wanted Nigeria to break.

You'll be soooo surprised to know that Ojukwu systematically killed Nzeogwu but, of course pinned it against the Nigerian forces. Ojukwu became scared, wary and jealous of Nzeogwu's adulations among Nigerians. He engineered his release from prison but literally banned him from all military activities. So how could he have found for Biafra?

Anyway, the Igbos are their own downfall. Nzeogwu should nvr have relinquished power to that fool, Ironsi. He should have held on to it and follow through on his plans. It would have been very tough but, trust me. He had lots of initial support before the news of Zik's escape filtered through.

Nzeogwu stood no chance against the foolish Ironsi immediately they couldn't nail him on the night of the coup. It was Ifeajuna that betrayed the other four majors who had altruistic intentions. The truth of the whole story was the bulk of the job laid with Gowon but he blew it by refusing to follow through on the agreement in Aburi. Ojukwu tried to protect the Easterners who were at that time facing a systemic genocide. Remember that he never supported the coup and that made him doubt Nzeogwu. He didn't bargain for division either as all his points at Aburi didn't suggest any thing of such.
The Best bet for Nigeria now is to go back to Aburi and do minor adjustments to reflect new present developments. Without this, war is inevitable and the outcome will be worst than ever.

xpmode:
No regret.... as long as the Minority Christian North is safe. in one Nigeria, who cares about oyel

I understand you but that's very selfish to say. Learn to be more circumspect.

Lol. Fulanis looking for the common ground to rally other Nigerians to point fingers at Igbos thereby deflecting these other people from their own present atrocities. Fulanis are indeed cowards. This style is old as everyone has known you all. You bring nothing to the table but take everything from all the lands you step your foot into. Your time of oppression is up. You will have a taste of your own pudding soon.

Finally, Gowon has started admitting to his mistakes albeit unknowingly. You (Gowon) went to Aburi unprepared just like the average Nigerian contingent to an important event whereas Ojukwu carefully wrote down his goals like a serious leader should do because his people were being killed in the pogrom. There was no time Ojukwu mentioned secession in his position in the Aburi meeting. He was solely prepared to protect the lives of all Easterners as a reasonable leader should do yet you blame him. Why did Gowon unilaterally created twelve states without the agreement of the regional governors? Can he answer this question?
Gowon did that because he was instructed to do so by his puppeteers so as to whittle down the resistance of the Eastern region (divide and rule). This is the crux of the matter. Safe guarding the lives of the Easterners being massacred in the north wasn't his concern exactly like how the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore are kicking against Amotekun in the SW while keeping mute to the destruction done by their fellow herdsmen.
We want Gowon to know that we're proud of Ojukwu with his team who did everything within their capacity to protect us from people like him. The innocent lives wasted will always cry against him. It is clear that he was a willing tool for the fulani domination but we will continue to resist them all. Die a miserable man.

royalamour:
Enjoy your baba poo.
When we the middle beltans were trying to tell you the truth, what did you tell us?

Insults and name calling.

Don't worry, they haven't even started with you guys.

Lol. Danjuma warned them and they woke up. Let's see how strong their resistance/persistence will be.

Lol @ Rochas. He didn't say this before. We shall probe you properly at the fullness of time.

Realtord43:
Am not proud been a Nigerian anymore

Lol. Gradually many are beginning to face reality. The shithole doesn't deserve to be associated with sane people.
The question intelligent people should be asking is the pact the fulanis have with Rochas and Uzodinma for this daylight robbery. We're keeping tabs on them.

MelesZenawi:
Southern unity is a mirage and will never happen.

Let each region or unit adopt their security measures and let each pursue what will be beneficial to them.

Anybody preaching southern unity is enemy to Nigeria afterall North is not all that united.

This is what the almajiris up north fear the most. The fulani man behind the moniker just couldn't stomach the possibility of such. Any way, we are watching keenly. What must be must be. Death to the evil contraption.
