Yea, we need our kingdom back, or better still if thats not possible we want a small country of edo state,

We would never join the yorubas, how awolowo treated our people during the western region cannot repeat itself, in Niger Delta we wont much
Because we don't have oils to compete other areas with oil

So we would rather remain the isreal amongst islamic nations

great talk. great vision. south south indigenes are indeed very sensible and have straight visions, unlike the lie lie, senseless and blind igbos.

Some if these people are already claiming that the entire Anioma area are Bini people and not Igbos

Why bini dey give you headache like this

Ijaws please,you guys need to do some serious genuine thinking and sober reflection,of course me and my ethnicity do same.I think you guys should focus more on developing and establishing the places dominated by Ijaw in bayelsa,and maybe in rivers,do this and take it as something more important,than trying to claim other lands and peoples.
This is the same thing they did with ndoki,whom are igbos,and even some Edoid and ibibio peoples,by claiming ndoki of all people is Ijaw,and re-writing history,claiming an imaginary "Anadokiari" or whatever,when the Ndoki found out that the Ijaw only give them the ijaw tag for political reasons,and the formal Head of INC (Ijaw national Congress) revealed this during an Amnesty program for ijaw.

If you know the history of Abia and Imo you wouldn't even post it!

Much of Abia and Imo was owned by Ijaws and Ibibio people.

The Ndoki have Ijaw ancestry. This is something we ( Ijaws) in Rivers state know.

Are you talking as an idiot or probably its a family syndrome


Benin fell under 3 moths and guerrilla warfare continued for 2yrs



Modafucker what do you know about bini history,

I expected such from a tribe that had no history prior to the arrival of thr Europeans you fool

Oga, Benin Expedition of 1897 is there is every history book and war LIbrary for any literate person to read... The whole Benin City was stinking. It was the stench of sacrifices that delayed it for 7 days, the actual attack and take over only took a few hours. Subsequently, the oba chiefs were hanged before the market square.

The Oba ran to seek asylum in Calabar, leaving women and children to fight...

What took almost a year was Aro-Anglo wars of 1901-1902... Which transpired to ignite the 30 years Ekumeku war...

You think you are lying to your illiterate minions.

The maps, the names of the soldiers, the size of so called empire is available for everyone to read.

Biafra should leave Niger delta alone

We in Akwa ibom do not want your Niger delta. don't deceive yourself.
when it comes to choosing between BIAFRA and you lot( Niger delta) I'm pretty sure 80% of us will go with BIAFRA.
but only BIAFRA, we might choose to form a country with Cross River rather.

On the long run biafra will suffer the most, inertialy we wanted to give you guys towns like asaba, but it seems like you guys will not be getting anything

Idiot. how will you stop them from getting asaba when asaba is an igbo town through and through. and just how many miles away from Anambra.
Guy chill, you see any part of delta that speaks igbo apart from Ika and Ikwerre.. there are going with the Igbos and a thousand you can't stop it. Na their choice not yours

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.

Ndiigbo have never in our history grabbed anyone's land.
We are not empire builders and never colonized any other group.
The land grabbers in Nigeria Know themselves. They were empire builders who invaded and subjugated others in the past.

The Igbo have always been democrats. We are a people who cherish freedom and will never deny others of it.
We are also too proud a people to beg anyone to be part of us. As a matter of fact, we are naturally segregative and hardly accept outsiders.
Anyone thinking Ndiigbo will beg him or his group to be part of Biafra has bomb in their head.

Many Igbos are actually seriously against IPOB multiethnic Biafra and will strongly kick against it when push comes to shove.
The Igbo wants a 100% Monoethnic Igbo Biafra with non Igbo hating Igboid groups in SS and NC.

There will be referendum, and if the Urhobo man is not comfortable with Igbos, theres always the option of Oduduwa and Arewa Republics
