https://www./1549601415174008/permalink/2665684686899003/ "The name Ndoki is known as AMINADOKIARI; I am looking for my brother" He further said that; "The English man for easy pronunciation corrupted it to Ndoki" "We came to Ndoki and was covered by the Igbo language" "Although we intermarry with the Igbo hinterlands that has not made us to forget ourselves" The following link contains the interview of Chief Wilson Onuoha, a traditional custodian of Ohaobu----Ndoki telling a popular Igbo presenter the history of the Ndoki people who established Ohaobu to be from Kalabari. It is rightly a fact that the kalabari and the Ibani are from the same ancient isedani lineage in the central delta and it's no coincidence the kalabari call Ndoki WAMINADOKIARI as related to their Ibani kin who rather call AMINADOKIARI. Chief Wilson Onuoha rightly revealed the first settlement their ancestors established in the Ndoki area before coming into the present Ohaobu site was Okoloma-kiri.

"After many years of Ijaw governments in Old Rivers state with their brutalisation and indoctrination and bribing of some Ndoki elders in Rivers state, what do you expect. Your major problem is that Ndokis in Abia still see themselves as Igbos. To make matters worse for you, Ngwa people, who are also a major contributor to the first settlers, see themselves as completely Igbo. You have a mountain to climb" Ofoigbo I put it to you that no one bribed anyone. Izon means truth... The truth is Ijaw people from time immemorial have been journeying and establishing settlements along the creeks from the lower Niger upwards. Many have been lost but the one's who we remember and also remember us know their root. I dare you to ask any Ndoki people to tell you their history and they will mention Aminadokiari. Is it a coincidence that in Oyigbo- most of the land owners bought their lands from the Fubara-Hart family of Okoloama(Bonny)? Is it a coincidence that Okoloama Afam is named after the ancient name of Bonny? Why did the Ohaobu-Ndoki chief tell the same story FROM AN INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY NNAHMENTV GOD is revealing the truth, and even in the Azumini Ndoki area, the chief also made mention of the Ijaws who have descendants in Azumini Ndoki(Abia) Something you and Sleekcode, including AlexBells fail to understand and you have the guts to insult the memory of the late Ononankume VI Eze sylvanus of taking bribe There is no hill to climb and very very soon, the Ndokis will like the Jews retrace back to Jerusalem (Izon heritage) They will one day learn the Igbani language. The river state Ndoki all testify to having their Ancestry from Okoloba-kiri The Akwaibom Ndoki all testified to the Okoloba-kiri ancestry. Even the Azumini chief made mention of Ijaws in their midst. The truth must prevail! 1 Like |

Alabo7978: It does not matter where Ndoki is from. What matters is that their language is Igbo, and they all have Igbo surnames 1 Like |

Alabo7978: You big hurdle is that every ancient book already has it that the first settlers in Bonny were Igbos. You also still have to explain away the Ngwa contingents of Bonny and the fact that most of the Abia Ndokis see themselves as Igbos, and it is only Ndokis in non-Igbo states, that have been confused into taking other identities, or chiefs that can easily be bribed. Are Ngwa people Ijaws also? Why did every explorer of the olden days make it clear that Bonny people are Igbo people? 3 Likes |

gidgiddy:Most Nigerians speak English and answer English surnames and names,.does it mean we are part of the British Empire That card doesn't work anymore. I see a future where the colonists system will be no more, and everyone will return to their tents(tribes) Everyone will trace their roots and associate with them. It is already happening, Aminadokiari people have joined the INC, LINO and IYC. In a few years time they will begin to learn the Igbani variation of The Ijo language 1 Like |

OfoIgbo:What ancient books?? Who wrote the ancient books?? Foreigners from far away lands?? Check again, those informations has been weeded for their fallacy... Those maps has been dumped. It's just as using outdated/fallacious methods in science when the right ways are existing. |

OfoIgbo:The igbos aren't known for opening up a settlement. THEY GO TO OTHER ESTABLISHED SETTLEMENTS FOR BUSINESS. the Izons are daring and adventurers. They toured the creeks in search of fishing experience. The igbos never ever were a marine people and once they saw life in Ndoki they(ngwas) came and they began intermarrying and like Eze Ononankume said, "it didn't make us forget where we came from" Some Ngwas came to Bonny and that's that... They recided or left just like the Portuguese, British and Dutch. |

Alabo7978:Let them return to where they came from nahhh. See me see trouble. So because igbos settled in Lagos and Kano those places are now Igboland? You came to my land to catch fish you are free to return. |

Alabo7978: Ngwa people didn't just come to Bonny. Ngwa and Ndoki people are the Igbo people that originally populated Bonny. It is mainly because of these two Igbo sub-groups that European explorers rightly wrote, after speaking with the natives, that Bonny was first people by Igbo people. In fact, a European explorer wrote that Ibani people claim Ngwa descent. So you can try and hoodwink anybody with all these latter day Ndoki Ijaw lineages. You will have an impossible task linking Ngwa into that tale, and Ngwa people don't exist in Rivers state, where you can usually start applying those your history-twisting antiques, and hope it filters through, to Ngwas in Igbo states. Now again, no one is more adventurous than Igbos. Igbos set up settlements more proficiently than other people. Ijaws just go to places settled in, by other people and resettle in the coastal regions of those places. A few years down the line, they start claiming they own the coast, because they do a lot of fishing. As I wrote earlier on, you will have an impossible task uprooting the clear facts, noted by unbiased European explorers who rightly noted the fact that Igbos peopled Bonny first. We know these Igbos are Ukwa-Ngwa people. Otherwise known as the Ndokis and the Ngwa people. 1 Like |

OfoIgbo:No body is claiming Ngwa... Nothing concern Ijaws with the dwarfish Ngwas. Ok now you're saying the ibanis claim Ngwa descent No longer Ndoki again I laugh you. You're not saying Ndoki again because the Ndokis are saying they are Waminadokiari?? I thank Opu Tamuno most benevolent that it isn't an Ijo person that owns the NnahmenTV. YOU HEARD IT FROM YOUR OWN BROTHER'S REPORT!!! even the video from the late Ononankume the sixth of blessed memory who rightly said because of intermarriage, the Aminadokiari people haven't forgotten who they are!!! Even the accounts from your explorer of the Ibanis coming from Ndoki will shoot you on the legs because the people who came from Ndoki rightly called water Minji,, and they called Curlew Okolo, and they termed fly as "Ma" This will even put you in trouble by revealing the Ndokis are truly from the central delta, and will further buttress the point of the previous Ononankume of Okoloama Afam, and chief Onuoha of Ohaobu that their language was overwhelmed and that they know where they came from. Watch the video again. No ijo is concerned about Ngwa. Let the Ngwas be on their own because they are rightly igbos. We are talking about our brothers, Aminadokiari!!!

XerXers:You're high... Return where?? It seems you're not following your brother who thought he wants to connect "his dot" but rather helping us to reveal the truth. Watch this video The founders of Ohaobu-ndoki are from Okoloma-kiri area which is the central delta... They established Ohaobu and diverted to Okoloma Afam before the Ngwas came to trade palmoil with their fishes and sea foods Ndoki is rightly Aminadokiari https://www.facebook.com/100067531167149/posts/pfbid02RAra1Thr8gXWSTcQABZKECzhyeSXuUZoiJb7AJpe2CB77TVVu94tbAfyPxWDV26cl/?app=fbl Watch the video and cry bitterly |

Why is this still a debate? Bonny-Ijo oral traditions affirms that they sojourned among already settled Ngwa (and Asa) communities what is now Ndokiland before making it to Bonny. Plain and simple, Ngwa and Asa were already settled in Ndoki area before there was even an “Ndoki” group to talk about. The communities of Okobo (primarily Umuagbai and Azuogu), the communities of Ohambele and Ohanku, the communities of Ohuru and Mkporobo and others were already settled in the area before the Ndoki migration. These are Ngwa and Asa communities. Just because they are now collectively referred to as “Ndoki” does not change the fact that they all remember when the actual Ndoki migrated in, and Ndoki at that time was known as Umueze (the Obunku, Azumini, Akwuete, etc communities). The communities that collectively make up Umuihueze, Umukwokwoeze, Umuilokoeze, etc. Umueze only later got the name “Ndoki” after they had already settled and that came to be applied to the other non-Umueze communities that also had extensive dealings with Bonny and Opobo. Long story short, you cannot tell the story of Ijo migration to Bonny without talking about Ngwa (and Asa) who they fraternized with along the way. Otherwise, it’s dishonesty. Bonny-Ijo traditions also claims that they did not travel alone to Bonny. So what is all of this debate? A simple look at Bonny-Ijo oral traditions settles this conversation clear as day. No modern day statement coming from an Umueze chieftain or a Bonny amanyanabo will change the information that was freely given to the British between 1900s - 1930s. A time period devoid of the controversy we see today. The narrative has been settled, unless you can show that the people lied for one reason or another. If Bonny wants to carry on being an Ijo community, then so be it. But it won’t change actual history. You are an amalgamation of two communities. Ngwa-Igbo and Brass-Ijo. Denying such doesn’t get you anywhere unless you can somehow manage to wipe collective human memory and oral tradition as well as destroy all textual references. So either take pride in your mixed heritage, or pick a side and carry on, but don’t waste time thinking that history will be rewritten to serve a specific narrative. 2 Likes |
