Oyigbo.

Afonja syndrome. Always pushing others to their doom.
Why not you people showing us pepper.
Well it won't be long

Pushing who to their doom?
People that sold you as slaves?


If you try nonsense in Yorubaland or Itsekiriland una go hear am
Izon are capable

Monogamy:


Is there anything like Obigbo in the Nigeria
map?

Nigerian map doesn't also show Hausa GOBIR, instead there is Fulani SOKOTO

Unfortunately for you guys, Igbos are persistent and survivalists, unlike the Hausas that are allowing their culture and existence to go into extinction.

Ndoki, Etche, Asa and other branches of Igbos down south are even campaigning for an ENOA state. Once such a state comes into being, the name OBIGBO will be proudly declared again. Ighotago

theTranscriber:
They can't try that shit in the West

Igbos like bullying their smaller neighbours

Anyone that they can't bully they will brand them"Fulani slave"
That's what they are doing to Edo and Ijaw nonsense
The conquests were necessary
That was in the past
You conquer or you be conquered

It's not Yoruba fault that your ascestors were too cowardly to spread out

This is modern times

I trust Ijaw

The most viable slave port in West Africa during the trans Atlantic slave trade was Badagry.
Do you know who runs it and the people shipped through it?
Ans:
People that run it: Fulanis and Dahormey people (eg the slave trader known as Seriki of Badagry. The Dahormey slave negotiator was famous for selling 20 Yoruba women for an Umbrella. 50 for a tobacco snuff box and 10 each for a dose of snuff)
Commodity shipped through it : Yoruba slaves. Especially the ones from Nigeria.
Major players in the slave trade: Fulani and Dahormey.
Please unlike you that dwell in falsehood, I speak facts.
More than a million Yorubas were sold by Dahormey women who defeated Oyo so called Empire. Then Fulani sold half of Ilorin and Igbomina after expelling Oyo from Ilorin.

the Badagry slave port was run by Yoruba
Stop decieving yourself
Badagry that Oyo empire conquered from Dahomey?
Dahomey never won any war against us
You are just deceiving yourself
The same Dahomey that Abeokuta defeated twice?
The same Dahomey that was under the Oyo empire and paid tributes?
Fulani never sold slaves in the trans Atlantic trade


What you call "history" "facts" are pure lies that a 2 year old can see through

I know this is not my business, but it is Oyigbo and not Obigbo. Even in Radio stations they call it Oyigbo not Obigbo.

We have Oyigbo local government.. is there anything like Obigbo local government in Rivers state?

FreeIgbos:


Look at this identity-less ikwerre saying rubbish about a place he has no business with. Obigbo people are proud Igbo people of Asa/Ndoki stock. They are not timid or suffering from inferiority complex like you guys.

Everyone still refer it to Obigbo both in nairaland and in Obigbo itself! Oyigbo or whatever nonsense you call it has no meaning in their native dialect so why would they use the fake nomenclature you tribeless people foisted on them?

Get lost, ohu ndi Bini.

Nairaland has successfully renamed it to it's original name "Oyigbo".

We have won you migrants once again! And Nairaland will never make this mistake again.

Sorry migrant

Thank you Nairaland. You can keep ranting rubbish.

Ikwerreland:
I hope this gets to the moderators of this great forum. We Rivers people are very sad about this recent development.

In Rivers State, we don't have Obigbo, what we have is Oyigbo Local Government. It is very annoying to see Oyigbo renamed to Obigbo on post moved to front page by the moderators.

We Rivers people want to believe, this is a mistake and not a deliberate act from the moderators.

I know I am not the only one who have noticed this error. The moderators should please correct this, it is very sad and unprofessional.

Below is a link to a post that made front page with Oyigbo renamed to Obigbo.

Please correct this as fast as possible.

Our identity is our pride. There is no Rivers State or Nigeria government document that recognise Obigbo Local Govt. What we have is Oyigbo Local Govt in Rivers State.

I wonder why it will be different on a popular forum like Nairaland.

Thank you very much.

Except that even Rivers people call it Obigbo

Monogamy:

Oyigbo local government are English words. Or is the LGA for English people.

There exists a written petition by Ogoni people to change Obigbo to Oyigbo in the 70s, so we all know when Oyigbo started.

BKayy:
Of what business is the name of an Igbo community to a Bini-Ikwerre man.
Oga what concerns you with another ethnic groups name?
Busy body. Instead of you to focus on your Itsekiri ex slave masters that want to reown you Ikwerre people in this 21st century, you are here poking nose into Igbo affairs

what concerns Igbo here on an obigbo topic?
How does igbo relate here?
Don't be so foolish this afternoon

What do you call the place? Obi gịnị?
Obi ndị Igbọ not obi Bini Slaves

Captain8:
nairaland should abide by truth and justice.... nairaland should stand it ground as profession and not to fall on political thugs or landgrabbers to pressure on bending and twisting oyigbo to obigbo.....
my advice to nairaland is to correct it to oyigbo whenever the thugs put it obigbo....

self-deception is not good for your health, obigbo through zoo politics of excising oil-bearing communities from alaigbo was torn from abia state and gifted to greedy rivers state agents of the fuani and to hide their bloody trail , the thieves promptly renamed it to oyigbo..........today obigbo is an orphan in rivers state, they suck her oil but abandon her in penury bur rescue has come..........Ndigbo will retake Obigbo by hook or crook..!

The op of this thread is Arrewa. Take it from me.

Oyigbo, English word... Hahahahaha

Btw, you said a petition was written to change the name, has the name been changed officially after the petition? If yes, do you have documents and credible sources to back it up?

The Op and some others are clowns.
Obigbo was changed to oyigbo,that name oyigbo is not the real name,it was changed once that ndoki part of Abia state was taken out and put into rivers all in a bid to remove it from an Igbo territory because of Oil that was found there.
Well that oil is loosing export sales today,they failed to diversify the Economy,up till today,they have failed to develop Production and exports gat we can fall back when their main source (oil) falls out.

Facts.

There is a huge difference between singular and plural.

You cannot use WORDS for just Oyigbo. You must also add LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

The people of Oyigbo don't know the meaning of Oyigbo.
But the people of Obigbo know the meaning of Obigbo

Chinoo, which kind argument be this?

Eventually are you still not going to add local government ( English name) to Obigbo if that's even the right name?

If the local government the place is located is called Oyigbo local government, it's logical to say people residing around the area are Oyigbo people

Obigbo Local government was named after the town Obigbo.

What is Oyigbo named after? Bearing in mind this is an Igbo area

My friend is Delta Ijaw name? is cross River local name?

Places are renamed... I don't have information about the original name of the place but at the moment, the place we are talking about is Oyigbo, which is in Oyigbo local government..

There is nothing like Obigbo local government

Delta state is named after the English word DELTA.

Cross River is named after a river in that state that was obviously named by the English.

Obigbo is the indigenous name of the area.

Where did Oyigbo come from? Does it make sense to the indigenes of the area?

You said those places are named after English word, which means the original name wasn't Delta or Cross River right?

And same you initially also claimed that Oyigbo is an English word...

Why are the locals in Delta state, Cross Rivers state still not be using the old name that was changed to English name? Cos they now have new name.

If the story about the name of the place is true, which means the old place was called Obigbo, it means it has been renamed to Oyigbo an English word just like as Delta state was renamed and the people moved on.
