I never knew we have something this great buried or hidden away in Nigeria . . . This is just awesome. Are people allowed to buy lands and just build their own homes there, how is electricity here? What would be the cost of buying lands around here. . . . I just love it |

There is regular power supply on Bonny Island. In fact, one of the two towns on Bonny Island, Finima, has free power supply from the Nigeria LNG Bonny Plant Complex. (no power outrage)/ uhm land they hardly sell land @ bonny but usually lease but i think u can buy land @ some places |

ijaw_girl: That is not right. Many opobo and bonny indigenes descended from the numerous igbo slaves that would have been sold into slave trade, that later settled there. That accounts for the dominancy of the igbo language there. Without doubt, yes you do have ijaw blood but then denying your igbo heritage just because igbo denial is common in rivers state is another thing entirely. It would be better to state that both places are mixed. And your Igbo dialect which all of you speak is 'not just a language of communication', its very much alive within you guys, and most of you esp in opobo dont even speak the ibani again. Why not use ibani instead? The only native language your parents know how to speak is igbo and nothing else, and yet its denigrated to a status of 'just for communication?' Many opobo people have been asked why they dont speak ibani and their reply is always in igbo 'nne m ezi m, nna m ezi m' (my mother didnt teach me, my father didnt teach me). Its always good to speak the truth. 2 Likes |

Bonny island always remind of falkland island (in argentina) claimed by the British. That's the reason its vry difficult to get there without the presence of armed security personnel because the whites in Bonny island dont want unnecessary visit frm 'outsiders'. Hope the whites will not claim it as part of their soverein territory (e.g wake island, falkland island, guam, marianas, fiji etc) 1 Like |
