said this bf *The meaning of Bonny is beautiful, attractive-The name Bonny was used to describe the Ibani homeland by the Portuguese on arrival, and subsequently became the name of the place. Not a bastardized English word for Ubani-bullcrap *The original name for Bonny is Okoloama actually means eurasian curlew(the white bird) town or land. When Alagbariye and co arrived on the island, it was full of curlews so they named it after the bird. *Ubani was used by Igbo traders when referring to Bonny. |

N Ijaw girl, you have just sthrenthende the evidence that Ijaw land had many Igbos. I asked an Ijaw friend what ama means. He told me it means town. In igbo it also means town. Just guessing,but maybe the said okolo bird was introduced into your town by an Igbo trader called Okolo, hence the name Okolo Ama. Seriously, what we are saying is that Igbos like Jaja were real. |

Who is this ChinenyeN sef? He seems to be a weird Igbo boy if actually he is Igbo. I’ve never seen or heard any Igbo from the 5 SE states sound like him so I’m suspicious of his identity. So weird! |

Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by EzeUche22(m): 3:54pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
Obiagu1: Gbam! But do not pay him any attention. He is a confused Igbo boy who was raised in the U.S. and never visited Alaigbo. His words can only be taken with a grain of salt. |

EzeUche22:Lies, lies and more lies. |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by EzeUche22(m): 3:58pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
ChinenyeN: What is a lie? You have not visited Alaigbo. TRUTH You were raised in the states. TRUTH You do not know what you are talking about concerning Igbo issues. TRUTH This is why people get upset with you. Because if you were raised in Alaigbo, you would know that we do not talk in such a way. |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by ChinenyeN(m): 4:00pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
. . . and he continues the lies. . . although, the states part holds some truth. |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by ijawgirl: 4:00pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
komando: we are definitely going to have similar words due to Igbo presence and influence in Bonny. |

ChinenyeN: Tell us ChinenyeN, have you ever visited Alaigbo? If you haven't, then you cannot talk to someone who was raised in Igboland about the situation on the ground. Most of the Igbos commenting on this thread have lived in Igboland. Our experiences shape our views. |

ChinenyeN: EZE UCHE STAND FOR NOTHING BUT LIES. |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by ChinenyeN(m): 4:04pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
EzeUche22:Actually, yes, I have, and this topic has already been covered, earlier this year, by you, 006, asha 80 and I. seanet02:Well, not entirely. I admit, he does get ahead of himself in many of his claims, but I wouldn't really say that he stands for nothing, but lies. There are many instances where there is truth in what he says. . he just has to learn to word it. |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by komando: 4:04pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
we are both saying the same thing, except I don't understand the albariye comment. Was that meant to be an insult? |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by EzeUche22(m): 4:06pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
ChinenyeN: LIES! You told us all you have not visited Alaigbo! And you included that you have never visited your village. |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by Obiagu1(m): 4:06pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
EzeUche22: I see. Why is he so forceful about his lone voice/view and overly divisive? Still weird to me. ![]() |

Quote from seanet Lies, lies and more lies. EZE UCHE STAND FOR NOTHING BUT LIES. Hey! Senet don carry him madness conme for this place? O pari oh! |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by EzeUche22(m): 4:09pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
Obiagu1: Some older NL members once said the reason why he is so foreful about his lone views, because he interacted with his clan when he was younger and not with other Igbo clans. That is why he looks inwards. His views are very weird to me as well. You can tell he has never lived in Igboland. |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by seanet02: 4:10pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
komando: slowpoke |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by EzeUche22(m): 4:12pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
ChinenyeN, Go back to defending Igbos as a whole and you shall have my respect again. I find some of your post very divisive when we Igbos are trying to unite. |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by ChinenyeN(m): 4:13pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
EzeUche22:Hmm. . You still have yet to explain to me how I cause division. In fact, I'm not the one getting worked up over someone else's identity, shouting obscenities, and making comments like "I wish I could beat the Igbo into you". Your attitude sef isn't helping to foster any non-division (that is, IF we are actually experiencing division, in the first place). So, you seriously failed on this one, sir. |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by seanet02: 4:14pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
EzeUche22:SO YOU EXPECT SOMEONE TO SUPPORT YOU WHEN YOU ARE CLEARLY ALWAYS REASONING WITHOUT THINKING |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by komando: 4:17pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
@ seanet Your face ai'nt a thinking face. |

Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by Abagworo(m): 4:19pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
Btw.okoroama is igbo name and ubani is igbo name.search on facebook.there is no need denying your origin.accept the fact that you are ijaw with igbo origin and move on. |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by seanet02: 4:20pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
EzeUche22: SORRY MR. DICTATOR THAT OWNS NAIRALAND komando: SO THEY USE FACE TO THINK IN YOUR VILLAGE |
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by Obiagu1(m): 4:21pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
EzeUche22: Well, I’ll leave it to him but I think some growing up is needed. I feel one ought to have lived in a place (Igboland) to have a balanced view/opinion and fully understand the culture whether you’re already Igbo or not. |
