Ibime is part of the fake ijaw

Ibime:



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 (People) bloodline as Kings but their mothers and grandmother's likely Igbo.

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 between the Tuboijus (merchants often descended from Igbos) 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.

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.

Wow, never knew opobo people are descendant of igbo, I used to think king jaja of opobo was from kalabari

Ibime is part of the fake ijaw

Ibime:
I learned officially at age 4 in swimming pool with a coach. I think it was either Agip or Elf that had a swimming pool in Trans-Amadi area. .

izzou:


The last time I visited Edo, there's one town I visited. It's along the road to Uzeba (Can't remember the name)

These guys literally have Yoruba names; Akande, etc, but they'll tell you they are not Yoruba, but they are Edo.

The same way you'll someone bearing Emeka, but he will say he's not Igbo, but Delta.

How can you say someone is not a Real Ijaw? So what exactly would he fall under?

Odiegwu

Roland17:
Wike wrong sha! Which kain angu be dis one again?

raumdeuter:




I don know taytay say Ibime na fake ijaw. I no just wan cast am. British boy wey be like Sancho dey claim Ijaw

Real Ijaw dey learn swimming inside river and ocean, Just throw pikin inside water and e float because fenibeso dey protect them
Fake Ijaw dey learn swimming for Agip swimming pool, using coach and lifeguard with life vest

evidence full e brekete

Are these Akoko Edo in Edo North? Cos all them Dele Momodu

Unlimited22:

Lmao
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.

Sim himself has two Ndoki grandmothers


The story long

I get one ijaw friend for bayelsa, she's originally from Delta ijaw but she can't swim
Infact she has phobia for water, I always ask her if she's real ijaw

izzou:


Not at all

I think it's Owan West; around that LGA.

Amigoss:


Maybe a boundary town with ondo state

BlueRayDick:


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
and conclude they may be telling the truth .

KingTom:

True, but these days the format wey people dey bring ehn! I've been hussled by a boy who claimed he was blind, I was sympathetic to his claim and parted with money. I was surprised to see him in the afternoon checking his Bet9ja tickets.

Omo! 😯

That is wild o. A supposed blind man Dey check bet9ja ticket ? See the kind serious medical condition person Dey use lie . Smh.

I detest able-bodied man or woman begging for money sha . It always gives me the vibe that they believe they can’t do some “dirty hustle “ like carrying load for people in the market , doing “baranda “ in major markets like computer village or Balogun market on the island .

iamoyindamola:

Some actually have those medical conditions but they don't even pray to be healed because they are comfortable with begging
There's one old man and his wife along luth, they are either at the airport road to luth, or opebi/toyin street same begging tactics

GloriousGbola:


one day i was driving home through mile 2 towards under bridge as it was about to rain and i saw a wheel chair guy and the person who pushed him running to beat the rain. i saw them scale the concrete road divider. i wished i had a dash-cam at that moment

izzou:




He definitely got healed.

BlueRayDick:


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 .
