Port Harcourt was called Obom-Otu and is till called Obom-Otu by Obulom (Abuloma) people of Wakirike-Ijaw to this day.

It was name Harcourt when the British bought the land for the Port and Railway Terminal Project to facilitate export of coal and other resource to UK.

The Port City was Named to honor then Secretary to the Colonies Lord Vermont Harcourt by Reginald Hagroove in what become known and documented as the Hagroove Agreement of 1913.

We can find lots of documents that establish both in land sale Agreement and Court Judgement that it was indeed called Obom-Otu and it was Owned and inhabited by Obulom-Ijaw Clan.

Obulom-Ijaw Clan was one of the 9 foundational clan that formed the Wakirike-Ijaw Confederation as one of then then Sovereign city states.

In many costomary, legal/judicial, Historical and Archeological work as I may present, Wakirike-Ijaw copiously documented Obom-Otu as Land of Obulom people (Abulome-ni as called in Wakirike-Ijaw expression)

Abuloma, moved into Obom-Otu from Ikibiri in Central Ijaw.

Obom-Otu of Obulom have strong influence and relationships with the ogbiaoid-ijaws to which Abua, odual, Bukuma, Ogbogolo, Ogbia, Emego etc as a linguistic group of Ijaws belong.

We have not published our work yet because we are working to properly establish the Ikibiri origin and the Ogbiaoid links.

But efforts are on. These are mere excepts from facts and thoughts that we are validating from records of pre, during and post colonial times .

The facts are fascinating

Obulom people are also found I'm Etchie and are called Ikwerre-Ngwo. Their near estinct language called ochichi is strongly related to Obulom, their family names are linked to families in Obulom and Obulom people have records of the circumstance of their movement from Okein-odo to Etchie region in the pre-colonial times.

we need to tell them the fact. A lot of lies have been written in this geographical space.

They usually run away from threads like this that expose their lies because their bubble will be burst!

very nice. i said it, PH is an ijaw city.. obom otu.. God bless u.. Hmmm, the animals will commit suicide over this exposed truth.. The yam legs them..

You won't see that clown igboid here.

What is it to discuss here?

Beer parlour gists?

4. The Rivers Province …includes the two divisions of Brass and Degema, both overwhelmingly Ijaw, and the Ogoni Division. The former Rivers Division also includes over 300,000 Ibos of whom 250,000 are in Ahoada Division and 45,000 in Port Harcourt.

Willink report prepared by the British who established Port Harcourt clearly noted on whose land it was established.
It was established on the land of the Diobus, outlying branch of the Ibo tribe. You can't possibly know about Port Harcourt than the British who established it.

The only way Ikwerre lose Ph is if they continue their Igbophobia, we would simply leave them to you lots.

Additionally, the place you call Abuloma was originally occupied by the Asa clan of the Igbo nation.
The current occupants there are but recent entrants.

I challenge OP and his Ijaw propagandists to provide just one colonial document where Port Harcourt was called an Ijaw city.

I had already posted one where it was called an Igbo city built on the land of the Diobus , a branch of the Igbo tribe.

Abuloma people are acutally from Abua the land they occupied are their ancestry land i wonder how these Asa nonsense talk come from. But then again, you igbos are just like the devil no truth can be found within you. When you talk,you talk according to your nature i pity any fools who believe you descendant of azazel.

I'll give you one. The document of purchase was the Obomotu Treaty of 1913. Obomotu is an Ijaw word from Obulom. Port Harcourt is originally Obomotu. Diobu chiefs were joined later on but their parcel of land was so small, Diobu was referred to as being near Port Harcourt

The problem with most of you is that you either have comprehension issues or you refuse to admit the truth. The writing was very clear.

Where's the writing that calls PH an Ijaw city? You guys will not mind yourselves now. The closest Ijaws to PH is the Okrika Ijaws and the original land is on the Okrika Island. The only way PH becomes non-Igbo is Ikwerres becoming non-Igbo. So you can encourage them to deny being Igbos. But as long as they're Igbos, PH is an Igbo city. The Ogonis equally have a share in today's PH due to expansion.
You Ijaws should not make Igbos your enemies. You will lose more from it.

Don't mind them. They know exactly what they're doing. Ijaws are water dwellers and have most of their lands as swamps. See how they're desperately looking for land in Rivers upland even up to Etche. Lmao. I don't take these clowns serious in any way. All historical records are intact to smash all their false concoctions.

Evidence of Obulom (Abuloma) ownership of Port Harcourt from some of its customary tenants. Okuru, Fimie, etc

You don't sound bright by clowning yourself. Why not make findings and do facts checking?

I've done enough findings to know that PH was built majorly on Ikwerre land. Ogoni and Okrika lands were later add-ons.

Lmao. All these latter day documents just shows what have already been known by all and sundry that Okrika communities were later added into Port Harcourt after PH expanded. The original PH built in 1913 was built on the land of the Diobu-Ikwerres. There's no argument about that one.

The trauma is only yours. You better lobby the Ikwerres very well to deny Igbo else you have no claims over PH.

Are you begging Ikwerres to be Igbos? Even the Ikwerres know this fact. Ask the people of Oginigba and Rumueme for their boundary neighbours

Fejoku:

Igweocha belongs to Igbos. All this propaganda from oba of bini's palace is laughable.

Heartbender:

Beg? Is Ikwerre language not a member of the Igbo language? Ikwerres are Igbos culturally and would remain so unless they forsake the language and culture. Politically they can reject going with other Igbos which is what I meant. You can encourage them to do so thereafter you can mussle PH away from them.
Meanwhile, all historical records put the original Okrika land in Okrika Island. All those land fills your governors of old did to bring them to the mainland are well known. History is very beautiful as it exposes greedy people. At the right time, historical records will be presented at the courts for judgement and shaming the criminals.
This is a small case na. Igbo no be your mate.
