Ibime is part of the fake ijaw


The Eastern Ijaw (Rivers State) tribes of Okrika, Kalabari, Bonny and Opobo are highly descended from Igbo slaves and merchants. Opobo itself is highly Igbolised by blood since Jaja (himself an Igbo slave) plied the Imo river and brought many Igbo from the hinterland to work for him, to the point I can say Opobo blood is 85% Igbo.

Bonny is about 70% Igbo and Kalabari and Okrika about 30-50% Igbo. Nembe and Brass in Bayelsa about 10-20%. That's why Nembe King historically had to deny Igbo ancestry which his detractors put upon him

Okrika and Opobo Kings are mostly from Igbo bloodline as is Kalabari. Bonny resisted a bit to keep their Perekule (Pepple) bloodline as Kings but their Kings' mothers and grandmother's likely Igbo by blood.

I am also from the last Royal family of Okrika with Igbo bloodline through my Great great grandfather who came down from Igbo land to work for an Okrika man (who himself was originally Igbo)

In Okrika we have had Kingship tussles for 2 centuries between the Tubonijus (merchants often descended from Igbos who are the ruling class) and Konijus (traditional fishing occupation mostly descended from Ijaws). You can Google it. Ateke was the Koniju man that ran us out of town and finally broke the hold of Igboid descendants on the Kingship.

But no too reason am, Ijaw City states are like Rome. Any Igbo man that comes there almost immediately blends into Ijaw. That's because our slavery wasn't chatel slavery. A slave becomes a member of the household with full rights of a son as long as he is productive. That's how Jaja rose from slavery to head of his house and there are many Amanyanabos, Alabos and Waridabos with similar story not just Jaja.

Some years ago, I stumbled across an interview with a slave from Umahia owned by my great great grandfather being interviewed by a Colonial journalist. In general I would say 70% of Igbos came as Slaves, but there were also some big Palm oil merchants based in Igbo land that moved to Ijaw land to partner more closer with their Ijaw partners. They also brought their families and would return to the hinterland to pick slaves. So slowly these Ijaw City states blood became filled by Igbos to the point Bonny and Opobo lost their original Ibani language and now fully speak Igbo, but not Kalabari and Okrika who maintain their mother tongue.

But don't get it twisted, the culture is fully Ijaw, same Gods, same masquerades, nothing like New Yam festival, Nzobu Nzobu or red cap.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Aside the spelling of Nzogbu Nzogbu, of course 😏😒

It is also worth noting that till date, many Bonny and Opobo people are fluent in Igbo, including Siminialayi Fubara himself

My Guy wey I dey deck for him ama for Elekahia anytime I Wan Waka for night and I no get strength for house people is a full blooded Bonny man and his mum speaks to me in proper Igbo Izugbe.

Jaja was born in Amaigbo, in present day Nwangele LGA of Imo State. A lot of historians agree that his birth name was Okwara Mbanaso.

And this thing isn't even one sided. Till date, there are Ijaw people in Ohambele and Azumini, Ndoki towns of Ukwa East LGA of Abia State, and Umuagbai in Oyigbo LGA of Rivers State.

I also don’t give money to able-bodied beggars or those ones who will carry their kids and beg u money for them to feed . I believe giving them money is encouraging laziness and also outting oneself in the position of Mugu .

I however give people who are physically impaired or disabled alms according to my capability anytime I come across them . I also give people who appear to be stranded money if I guage them

Yeah , there are some that stay around that LASUTH Side in Ikeja and along that Mobolaji Bank Anthony way. They will claim their son or daughter is sick in the hospital and they need to buy a particular drug .

I learnt most of them have people inside LASUTH that usually help them write those prescription out on LASUTH letter head so that it gives their begging hustle some sort of legitimacy .

if you ride public transport in lagos you will lose sympathy for most beggars because you will hear their true stories from passengers

there is a woman who used to be around five star in the 90s. she always had three naked toddlers her. this was during my IT. one guy on the staff bus said one day, someone came and dropped a bunch of clothes for the children. the next day they were back, naked again. i saw this same woman 10 years later in ikeja crying in traffic supporting one of her half naked children. the child was now much older. she was pretending the child was sick then one day i saw her in vi. i was in traffic and she was at my window.
