There is NO Bonny Igbo! We only had Igbo slaves shipped out of Bonny to the Americas. We only have Ibani Ijaw people in Bonny.

All history books say some Ibani Ijaw chiefs left Bonny to establish Opobo. Only Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB zombies claim otherwise.

Ijaws own the Whole SE and Southern Nigeria no doubt just stick to the 8LGA of Bayelsa that you can prove was freely given to you by the Nigerian state and Southern Nigeria or you will keep losing like you lost Opobo an Igbo man's personal estate.

Deported by who? Fashola in the dead of the Night with an official apology in the morning and denial in press during the day. What attack in the north am I missing something I thought it is ESN that have been attacking Fulani in Imo state and SE Nigeria.

Please update me on the Akwa Ibom and cross River issue I definitely missed that or is it the same one that the Obong of Calabar refuted? Dear fisherman you are not making sense, link up with Barcanista olodo you people are dumb and embarrassing the Izon fish tribe.

As for Izon it took Ojukwu less than 10 days to quash adaka (Gorilla) Boro movement do you think Nnamdi Kanu has that type of time. Boy Igbo's are impatient don't be the the sacrificial lamb. Ijaws fish tribe cannot even face any Igbo group in the SS let alone mainland Igbo's (suicidal) I can already see the weeping in Bayelsa the only Ijaw land should they attempt.

Igbo's are your god's you worship our brothers in the SS respect us or risk offending SS Igbo's and be pushed into the Atlantic or go back to Togo we are not even talking Bayelsa again you will loss that too. Be guided, don't curse your god's or be cursed. You have been warned.

You are too dumb for any reasonable exchange. Igbos lost a war because they fought to occupy Ijaw territory. Igbos should stick to the places they are allowed to say. If we are forced, we will you Igbos out.

As for Opobo, it remains an Ijaw city-state and there is no amount of Igbo false claims that would change that.

You Igbos worship Ijaw people. Most of your gods are Ijaw men. No wonder chief Asari-Dokubo insists Ijaw people must retain Igbos as slaves in perpetuity. The little freedom we gave is already being abused.

The body bags the Akwa/Cross people sent to Abia and Ebonyi state should serve as warning but like goats that you are, you will be asking for more.

Nwokem I am an NRI man and a hardcore Igbo. NRI people have never been Igalas. Get that into your head.

You can't try that divide and conquer tactics you Ijaws and Fulanis are well known for.

NRI people are not Ikwerres, Kwales or Ogba people that you can confuse.

NRI is like a black hole. It's cultural gravitational force is so strong that it swallows anything that approaches.

Ask yourself how come Benin expansionists tried and abandoned the attempt of falsifying Enuani and Onitsha history? NRI is the reason. If they encroach NRI swallows them with Igodomigodo, an ancient NRI outpost.

NRI is badass

It wasn't Benin expansionist, it was Igbo expansionists who had to give up when the Benin people came up with facts.

For the Igbo to claim Igodo which was the first dynasty in present day Benin just shows how criminally inclined Igbos are. Neither Igodo nor Nri has anything to do with Igbos.

Before you accuse Benin people falsely you should ask yourself why your beloved Nnamdi Azikiwe said his people are of Benin descent.

Igbo people like claiming what they can never have.

Run along darling

Igbo women should NEVER talk about bastards! The bastards you leave with your mothers as brothers and sisters or the ones you sell to the baby factory industry, or the ones you give to another man as his seed.

Or the ones you abort and enter church and form mother Theresa.

In Ijawland we don't have bastards. If a relationship doesn't work people move on. It is not like Igboland where women are commodities, sold off to lift her lazy father out of poverty.

The only African woman that has won miss world beauty pageant is an Ijaw woman from Rivers state and yes she is dark skinned. The skin colour you hate because you Igbos are inherently inferior.

Jonathan didn't adopt Igbo name to be relevant. If you Igbos were relevant you should have president in the last 50 years. It is you Igbos who tried to attach Jonathan and his wife to yourselves.

My fathers ALWAYS won and we will ALWAYS win! As your masters, we will NEVER submit to you Igbos.

Ugly in Igbo is Njo and not Ijo. Both Ibo and Igbo are names we gave you and both in the Ijaw language or pidgin English, the meaning isn't pleasant.

We don't marry Igbo, we marry our people.

If you people marry people you make reference to as, "Ogogoro man". It tells how irresponsible your Igbo people are.

Just to burst a few of your bubbles

The oldest surviving royal institution in Nigeria is in Igboland. The Nri kingdom.

The Igbo royalty in UBANI (Bonny) existed way before the British came up with their warrant chief rubbish. These empirical observations of Bonny commenced in the 1790s, many decades before Britains came up with that crap. So make no attempts to stylishly claim that it was the British that instituted the Igbo royalty of Bonny during their warrant chief phase. These factual observations were made long before that.

Eze Nri authorised the crowning of Obas of Benin and Attahs of Igala, and the core of the cultural practices of Igbos, Binis and Igala came from Nri, which is a bonafide Igbo group, so Igbos are culturally solid and can't be made to feel inferior in an environment where they feel superior. Ighotago


Lest I forget, Ndoki owns Bonny

Igbo never and will never have any royal institutions. The closest Igbo had to an organised institution was the warrant chief system the British gave them.

The warrant chiefs couldn't implement anything.

You are trying to twist stories. Like chief Asari-Dokubo has told you Igbos on several occasions. The Ijaw had outposts spread across what is now called the 5 Igbo states and in the past the went or sent people to effect their rule. You Igbos couldn't organize yourselves to prevent several Niger Delta merchants from trading in Igbo slaves. Yet you want claim you left place went to their place and ruled over some of the most important slave ports in their area. Are you normal?
Stop smoking Igbo!

Nri was Igala civilisation and not Igbo.

The Orus don't worship humans neither do they worship places. Orus are a refined people. That you family lives in a location called Oru east or west does not make you an Oru.

Your destiny is tied to licking shit, shitting drugs, over congesting prisons around the world. The Igbo have been destined from time immemorial to be commodities. The world have stopped slavery hundreds of years ago but the Igbo are still begging for slavery to be revived. As the Ijaw, Itsekiri and Efiks refused to participate. You now take your people to Libya to auction them.

Ijaw people have never failed and will never fail by an sane standard.

Eating shit in the name of drug peddling or eating shit in the name of satisfying the sexual perversion of some Arab guy is in no way a sign of success.

I have noticed how you have been schooled over and over yet you cannot comprehend the simplest things like a tributary, a river and a Delta even after seeing a map, how then would you understand a history of my Igbo people, better stick to fishing and weaving fishing nets that your Ijaw people are know for.

A quick one what was the ruling of the supreme court in Opobo? Where was Jaja from? So how do you isolate Jaja his people and claim Opobo is Ijaw land, you're simply a dumb criminal. Ijaws better go beg Barcanista to come back to NL cause you land thieves here are to dumb to even understand your history let alone tell one how then do you promote your expansionist agenda, even if Opobo or Bonny people come across this thread they would rather associate with a goat than dumb Ijaws on this thread. Olodo I dey shame for you. Tueh

Jaja was from Bonny. Short and simple!

Jaja and other Ijaw chiefs were permitted to rechristen land belonging to another Ijaw clan as Opobo.

If for any reason Ijaw people collectively decide that Opobo should no longer exist the land will revert to the initial owners.

Igbo identity thieves should respect themselves and stay where we permitted them to stay if not we will take back our lands to the least inch.

Stop making a fool of yourselves wiki links will not save you, falsified video of brass youths claiming Opobo or Bonny will not save you I can also show you video of Asari and Goodluck Jonathan claiming their Igboness does that mean they are Igbo's? I can show you timaya singing in Igbo does that make him Igbo.

Bonny and Opobo still maintain their ties with Igbo's and relationship with Kith and kins in Igbo land so falsifying documents and video means you will lose another court case cause you can't prove what never existed, if Any people should even drag Bonny and Opobo with Igbo's it should be Ibibio and Annang as they Brit gave Account of them not Ijaws.

Take a sail to Ghana and Togo that is where you all belong if you are not satisfied with your 8lga in Bayelsa.

We own Imo and we own parts of Abia and Anambra.

No court ruled that Igbos own Bonny or Opobo. You Igbos are a bunch despicable liars that more truth is found in the mouth of devil or Lai Mohammed than the average Igbo.

You are the only ethnic group Nigeria sandwiched between other ethnic groups in Nigeria. The closest to you are Fulani, in their case they tried to integrate in Yoruba and Hausa society. In your case you greedy being are trying to steal the identity of those who accommodated you.

Why won't Oru mean god in Ijaw when you worshipped the ancient Oru who you met in the territory you settled. Oru are humans that you Ijaws gave godlike attributes.

1. Oru/Olu has different meanings in Igbo language.

2. The incantations, mask, masquerades of the Oru are all Igbotic.

3. Owu which you Ijaws termed Owu-Ogbo is Igbo. The Oru’s of Oguta founded this festival that you Ijaws borrowed.

4. Oru might mean ancient in your language which is a pointer that you met people in the place you now call Ijawland.

5. The ancient Oru had to settle permanently in the area now called Ndokwa/Oguta/Ndoni/Oru/Olumbanasa because the likes of the Benin, Igala and you Ijaws were always migrating into their communities.

I won't waste your time with you!
Just as Chief Asari-Dokubo said you Igbo are and will the slaves of Ijaw. He also told you about Ijaw priesthood and lands scattered across were you now call Igbo states.

Igbo never had an organised society not talk of an organised religion. You are trying to provoke someone to educate you on the difference between owu and oru.

As an Ijaw from Rivers I know you Igbos too well. That why I never responded on the ethnic groups that are Oru.

You are lucky Adaka Boro answered you. This one sentence you heard from him, you've tried to put a spin on it.

It is this propaganda that will send you packing.

To claim we came with the Portuguese just tells how mad you are!

I don't think case can be handled by Yabaleft.

The only ethnic group in Nigeria that was recorded as back packers and errand boys of the English were the Igbo. This happened less than 200 years ago.

There has no reference to the Ijaw as Jos. You chose to lie in a bid to pretend you know a few things.

The Portuguese had interaction with the Ijaw for up to 400 hundred years before you Igbo were discovered. Even when discovered it took over 300 years before Europeans gain direct access to you and when they did, your ignorance and greed destroyed the economy of that part of the world.

Which historical account recorded Ijaws as Oru? None. Don't confuse the Igbo slangs that tend to call every sea living inhabitant from the Niger to the Delta as Oru.

The Oru/Olu have always been Igbo who lived from upper Niger down to the Atlantic swamps. Yes, their population was threatened thanks to Portuguese who brought and armed Togolese migrants to populate their territories.

The Oru word has been used in Egypt/ Sudan( the Nile Delta) and the Niger Delta for centuries before you Jewish wannabes called Igbo were discovered by the British crown.

Of course, I am in agreement with you with regards to the bolded. Bonny can never be a neutral ground. It is owned by Ndoki people. No one can take it from them. The first book ever written about Bonny has already established that fact, and it will remain there forever.

Your best hope is to convince Ndoki people that they are Ijaw. If you are unable to do that, then Bonny is not Ijaw.
.
According to the first book ever written about Bonny, people from Brass also migrated to Bonny, after the first settlers. I'm sure Chief Harold Dappa Biriye's ancestors were one of those Brass citizens that eventually settled in Bonny.

Now Ijaws and Fulanis have been major allies and partners in committing atrocities against other ethnic groups. I initially pointed out the abandoned properties episode, which was initiated by the Ijaws. That clearly shows what you guys are all about. Exactly the same as Fulanis that are taking over people's lands.

According to Igbo propaganda David Mark whose are being killed in Benue is a Fulani man!

Saro-Wiwa who was Ogoni suddenly transformed from that to being an Ijaw!

Just as usual, your so called abandoned properties saga is a figment of your imaginations. You tell all sorts of lies in your attempt to forcefully have a foothold in Rivers state. On contrary it is Ijaw who suffered losses due to Igbo incursion in Rivers state. Before the civil war Igbos stole land and properties from the Ijaws, Ikwerres and Ogonis. Till date, a lot of families have not been able to recover their land.

There is no such first book! The Bonny kingdom, like every other Ijaw kingdom is interconnected. You Igbo are ignorant newbies how are intoxicated by the warrant chiefdoms Britain created for you in a bid to tame wild, unruly, subhuman societies.

You just exhibit your gross ignorance. Today the Ashanti kingdom covers Kumasi and her environs but some centuries ago it extended to the coast of Ghana, some parts of Togo and Ivory coast. The Kanuri extended to present day Sudan, Chad and Cameroon.

We are are not people established by other people. That is why any being can't wake and create a kingdom. Unlike Igboland where warrant chiefs are apppointing new warrant chiefs in their closet for the right price. If I choose to be king or chief in Igboland I will become one without blinking.

When you want tell your lies on your fictional status, say it where an Ijaw man won't hear. Maybe you call tell this lies to Yoruba people. They can fall for it.

It is Ndoki you never accepted you want to claim are Igbo because you think that will give you access to Rivers Ijaw.

Many you call Delta Igbos fake Igbos. The Ndoki didn't even qualify to be called fake Igbos. Now you want turn to your shining stars in bid to reap where your fathers could never have sown.

Afriifa:
You are just as myopic as I thought. You can't claim to be from Delta state.. You're restricting the Ijaws to just Bayelsa. Now, who is your deputy governor? the number 2 citizen of Delta state - where is he from?

Don't mind her! The deputy governor of Rivers state is also Ijaw. Out of 3 senators representing Rivers, 2 are Ijaw, 1 is Ogoni.

RedboneSmith:


Don't be obtuse. I didn't mention Daminabo because I know it is Ijaw. There are some Ijaw names here and there in Ndoki. No one who knows Ndoki will doubt that.

I mentioned the one I knew wasn't Ijaw that you were claiming to be Ijaw. Don't deflect attention from the question I asked you, by trying to refocus attention on Daminabo. It will not work. Tell this house what Waboso means in Ijaw, since you want to claim it for the Ijaw.

Like I said before, I won't give certain informations to you Igbo because of your attitude.

So how did Daminabo and several other Ijaw names find their way into Ndoki if the people are not connected to Ijawland?

Do you think I am Yoruba you can lie to?

When did Igbo know there is River, sea and ocean?

Your language doesn't even have male or female gender and you want to have different words for water.

Until you started stealing Ijaw words you only had one word for land in Igbo language.

OfoIgbo:


Haven't you noticed that Ijaws have territorial squabbles with every single neighboring ethnic group?

Ijaws would have been worse than Fulanis, if Ijaws had the Igbo population. We cannot also forget the ABANDONED PROPERTIES saga, which Ijaws spearheaded. Your land grabbing tendencies are well known.

You have land issues with Igbos, Yorubas, Urhobos, Itsekiriis, Binis. Haba!!!

Now Bonny which a neutral traceable entity recorded in the 1790s and published in 1830, claimed was first settled by Igbos, and that the ruling families were Igbos, Ijaws are trying to claim, using quack historians like Alagoa, and fake Igbo:sounding monikers on nairaland, to try and claim

Bonny was never and will never be a neutral space! Bonny has an important part of Ijaw history. Apart Boro who is from present day Bayelsa, one the most important proponents of Ijaw struggle against Igbo dominance and annexation of our communities was Chief Harold Dappa Biriye. An illustrious son of Bonny.

Stop blaming Alagoa, he did nothing. Ijaw people are not as ignorant as you Igbos are. They know their history.

The ruling family in Bonny were never Igbo. Igbo that got the first semblance of governance from the British cannot rule in the space of people who embassies in other parts of the world before colonialism.

Bonny's extended beyond Nigeria's present territory.

Nigeria is backward today because because the country was handed over to two group savages, the Igbo and the Fulani.

Groups like Kanuri, Ijaw, Urhobo, etc who were more exposed could have handled it better.

The Igbo has boundary disputes amongst themselves, with Northern Cross river, with Igala, Tiv, Idoma and Annang. You set flames of fire everywhere but you can't stand the heat.

Igboid:


You say what?
Oru/Olu is the riverine part of Igboland.
The Ogbaru, Ndoni, Ogba,Oguta Parts of Anambra west LGA, even Ndokwa are all called Oru/Olu in Igbo meaning riverine brothers.

In Igbo we have a saying: "Olu na Igbo", which literally translates to the "water and the land ", which eventually means"the whole world".

Ndoki a clan whose head is called Eze NWANKWO can not have originated from anywhere else.

Even in defunct eastern region. The Igbo tried to change our names, language and identity. Is it in states you Igbo are overwhelming majority you will allow Ijaw, Igala and Ibibio minorities to bare their real names?

Since when did Igbo mean land in the Igbo language? Since when did miri stop being water in the Igbo language that Oru is now the word for water?

Biko, learn your language well before you talk in public.

There are only 3 ethnic groups in Nigeria that are Oru, none of them are closely related to the Igbo.

I have been saying it, if we claim our ancestral land and the Annnang/ Ibibio and Igala do the same, the Igbo would be in IDP camps.

You claim Opobo people are Igbo because of Jaja, Jaja's name is Ijaw, he lived in another Ijaw community before moving to another Ijaw community. Yet you insist Ndoki couldn't have come from elsewhere because the person who heads their clan is called Eze Nwankwo but Opobo's monarch goes by traditional title, amayanabo and yet you Igbos spurious claims.

RedboneSmith:


See, all this is not necessary. The only reason you're not telling me is because you don't know what it means in Ijaw, because it is not an Ijaw name. So, there is 'so' there, therefore it is an Ijaw name? Lmao! Nonso, Isiadinso, Onyeso, etc must all be Ijaw names. Don't make me laugh, oga.

I took the liberty to try and see if I could find some Ijaws who had the name Waboso. I virtually saw none. All the Wabosos I found were Ndoki people. If it was truly an Ijaw name, it wouldn't be restricted to the Ndoki.

Waboso from every indication is nothing but a variation of the Igbo name Nwagboso. The same way Wabara is nothing but a variation of the Igbo name Nwagbara.

I am surprised you deliberately ignored the name Ida and the name Daminabo. The reason being there are popular Ijaw people bearing those names and your attempts to give it an Igbo twist wouldn't have worked.

Why are certain names exclusive to the Ndoki or Igbos close to them?

Nwanyiogwashi:


THE TRUTH ABOUT THE IGBO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NDOKI AND BONNY

Of the many accounts detailed by Portuguese and British explorers about the night of BIAFRA,

they were in agreement about the blood relationship between Bonny island and Ndoki located inland along the Imo River,

the relationship between Ndoki and Bonny is one that even the early Ijaw nationalists couldn't deny.E.J Alagoa writing in the 60s about the origin of the Ijaw clans had written extensively about the Bonny,

but his writings where punctured by many historians who saw holes in it, how could Bonny which Are siblings to Ndoki be Ijaw when Ndoki are Igbo

Alagoa went back to his drawing board and revised his history, Alagoa in his book in 1972 alleged that Ndoki were originally an Ijaw clan which migrated from the creeks around Sagbama and the Beni clan of Ijaw through which they traveled inland via Isuama country down to the Imo River to their current location,

This were all fabrications, Alagoa did this by merging and exaggerating the migration stories of two different peoples in Bonny,

the pfew families that came with the Kalabari directly from the Ijaw creeks, and the Ndoki tradition that came from inland beginning from Oguta.

Alagoa forgot that in his Ijaw nationalism the Ndoki cannot be Ijaw because Ijaw are not inland travellers, especially not then.

Ndoki traditions of origin is traced to Oguta, it has variations but all accounts are consistent about one point, Oguta, some talk of Benin before reaching Oguta but this can be understood as a result of the relationship between Oguta, Aboh and other Ndoshimili towns with Benin which the Ndoki thought such tales with them as they were leaving Oguta,

The Ndoki were probably one of the many Oru Igbo communities that lived in that territory between Akasa and Oguta, their sojourn inland coincides with the attack by Abohand Osomari on Oguta that sent many Oru communities inland towards the lake.

Their migration seems to have followed the course of the Njaba and Orashi Rivers inland through Umunoha to Izuogu from which they entered the Imo River and sailed down to their current location.

The Obani group is an offshoot of this migration, the name Ibani as claimed by the Ijaws is an appropriation, the name.

originated as a nickname for the Ndoki group and it was given them by none other than the Ogoni around the time the Ndoki settled around the Azumini creeks and Imo River, some of them had left and ventured deep into Ogoni land and settled afar off an Ogoni town along the banks of the Imo River known as Ko, from their they established some sort of diplomacy with the Ogoni who gave them the monicker Ebane or Bani,

it means someone from a strange land or someone from afar or a distant land.

This tradition is plausible because the Ndoki to get from Umuagbai to Bonny has to pass through Ogoni land, the first point they settled on the coast before finally crossing onto the island was just adjacent to Ogoni,

For a long time the Ogoni and neighboring people referred tothe island as Bani after the strangers and the people as Ebane,

this name is attested for by W.Baike in 1854 in"Narrative of an Exploring Voyage" p.380 writes, "

The Bonny people claim an Igbo descent, their territory which is not very extensive is by them pronounced Ebane, by the Igbos it is pronounced Obane, and by the Kalabari : Ibani"John Barbot in description of the coasts attests to the same thing.

Therefore with time the term became igbonized by the people to Ubani or Obani, this is the form which they carried it into the Igbo heartland.

The Kalabari when they settled on the island appropriated that name which they corrupted to Ibani, even the near extinct language they speak which they claim to be distinct is the same with Kalabari compared to the distinction with Okrika,

they claim the name came from Beni Ijaw clan in the central Delta, the same Beni which the Ijaw are claiming Benin city was named after?? There's not even any colonial records to back up any of their claims.

With the relationship between Ndoki and Ubani explained, anybody who still contends that the Ndoki were Ijaw of which there is no evidence,

should note that the early founders of the Ndoki towns after they settled at Azumini were all Igbos, the supreme ancestor was called Eze, his children were Ihu(umuihueze group) iloko (Obohia group) and Kwokwo (kwokwoeze group) others such as Ikwueke, umuokobo, Azuogu, Agbai, Ayama are all Igbo names.

The aborigines which the Ubani met when they touched Bonny were an Ibibioid people known as Inyong Okpon, who are also the aborigines of Tombia.

They had a chief priest called Awanta, for centuries the Ubani lived side by side with these aborigines until in the 18th century a late Eastward expansion of Ijaw groups (Awome who are the precursors ofthe Kalabari) brought Awome settlements directly into the region,

they assimilated much of the Inyong peoples just as they did at Elem and established canoe war houses, that was how Ijaw culture gradually diffused into the daily life of Bonny, Ndoki language however still remained the lingua franca and dominant culture in Bonny as attested by many British colonists in the region, the first Igbo bible written by the missionaries was done using the Ndoki dialect of Bonny.

Many Ijaw dissenters love to attribute the igbo presence in Bonny to slaves should note that majority of the slaves in Bonny were Isuama in origin but isuama is not spoken in Bonny neither is Isuama culture or deities to be found in Bonny,

Amongst the pantheon worshipped in Bonny, of the four major ones, three are from Ndoki,Ikuba deity whose totem is a monitor lizard is the national deity of Bonny is also the national deity at Ndoki,Otuburu(totem crocodile) and Tolofari(totem Stone) were brought from Azuogu Ndoki.

Inyana-Simingi was the major deity of the Inyong aborigines.

Ogu is the main deity of the Umuihueze group and the Ogu cult was introduced to Bonny via mediation of Aro priests to replace a native Pogo cult which was misbehaving.

And lastly is the Nwotam masquerade, which is danced by the Ndoki, Ubani and Opobo alike, originated from mkpaejekiri in Ohambele Ndoki, people who watch Nwotam in Opobo and Bonny would note that it has maintained it's igbo language, the dance steps and the different guilds(uke) are igbo and the oja music and dance style and rythm is distinctively Igbo.


The man who led the Ubani from Ndoki now known as Agbaria and his friend Okpara Ndoli,The first settlement of the Ndoki on the Azumini creeks was on a place called Okoloma, which name came from the aborigines.

Naturally they gave their new settlement on the island the same name Okoloma after their old settlement.

The entire story about curlews are fabrications.

There fore any scholar who is honest would learn that Bonny has been a product of mix of peoples, Aborigines, Ijaw and Ndoki with the Ndoki elements being majority,

The feudal culture of the Ijaw (the amayanabo land owning system) meant that they grabbed a lot of land and became feudal lords, but the culture remained unchanged and the Ndoki(Ubani) controled much of the commerce still.

There is nothing like an " Oru Igbo". You can't be an Oru and an Igbo at the same time. The Igbo claim to be Jews from the Middle east which has no connection to the Oru, one of Africa's oldest groups.

The Orus fall under 3 ethnic groups in Nigeria and Igbo is NOT one of them.

Your ethnic group ( Igbo, Ibo) was named by the Oru people. To attach Igbo and Oru in the same sentence is an insult to the Orus.

Alagoa did not reverse any history. The fact that he connected Ndoki to Benin can tell you he knows the exact families they belong to.

If all the ethnic groups whose lands are occupied by the Igbos through the activities of people like Azikiwe and Aguiyi-Ironsi reclaim their lands, the Igbo would be forced out of Nigeria.

To start with, Ubani is the abbreviation of a compound word. There is no ethnic group called Ubani.

George Washington, America's first president has a city named after him. His family had slaves who answered Washington as their surname. The name Washington did become the name of an ethnic group or tribe. Neither do you define the Washington family by their slaves.

Ijaw people can't be defined by Igbos, your understanding of how governance operates is very limited. That is why you cannot comprehend the Ijaw system with the Amayanabo as monarch.

You Igbos couldn't even organize yourselves at the very basic level. It was the Europeans who had to create the "warrant chief" system for you Igbos. I can understand why you made reference to the Ijaw system as feudal. To start with, the use of the word feudal within this context makes no sense.

Ekealterego:

So, now you have moved away from Bayelsa, na Imo and Abia your eye dey now..

You are involving Ibibio people whereas right now you have claimed their people (Ogbia) as your own since your population is not more than 1 million.

When did Ogbia people become Ibibio?

Ibibio people are not even found in Cross River state then they will be found in Bayelsa? How is that possible?

The only state Ibibios and Annang are indigenous to apart from Akwa Ibom is Abia state.
