Ubani worshipped Monito lizard before the Easter of 1826 my dear stranger.
Now look at the picture below.
It clearly defines the demographics of the area, the owners, People's ethnicity and made no mention of Ijaw.
Nobody doubts whether Ndigbo were shipped of through Ubani ports or not because the documents show the people that were shipped off, clearly acknowledging their existence (Ibo, Ibibio etc) as well as making clear who the natives of Ubani are. Nowhere was Ijaw mentioned showing that it was not existing then.
The reason why Ijaw wasn't mentioned was because Ijaw was not existing at that time (early 19th century)
Those that later incorporated Epie lands, Brass peoples land etc to form new Ijaw ethnicity were guarding British ships at that time.

I quote "During the reign of Opubo Fubara Pepple (1792-1830) himself originally of Ibo descent, as where many of the principal slave traders, life in Bonny was rigorous"

BiafraInc:

Mumu. And all of a sudden the so-called slave Igbos outnumbered your so-called Ijaw owners of the land and change their language and culture to Igbo? Some of you propagandists are so daft and dumb it beggars belief. Use your kai-kai brain for once in your miserable life. We haven't even started. This is the beginning as we are going to go big-time into Wikipedia to re-write all the revisionism you kai-kai drunkards wrote on Opogo and Bonny. Land thieves!!

HornyTave:


are you talking of Ika and Anioma cause last time I checked, when they speak, a Bini man will understand small

Idiko1:


Shut up your putrid mouth. Which Dappa, war and canoe house? Who fights a war with mere canoe?

Idiko1:


The bolded can only be valid if you were born and grew up in Obigbo after Nigeria/Biafra war.

Nyamiri:


Amaechi bears Rotimi, Ojo Madueke bears a Yoruba name. You never see Yorubas claiming them. That is why you Igbos always sound foolish with these gumbody schemes.
You can't do Ika people anything. You can't do Ikwerre or Etche people anything. If you could, why did your fathers abandon their properties and run off?

Nyamiri:


Go and collect your properties from Ikeerre, Etche and other people in Port Harcourt.
You didn't learn from how Gen. Ogbemudia handled Biafrans, you will learn it again.

jaja threw every ibo heritage he had the day his greedy parents/ tribe sold him out for slavery, he never saw himself as an iboman, if he had he wouldn't have called himself amayanabo instead of igwe and named the new kingdom opubo which an ijaw word and other ijaw tradition

SlyDev:
Igbo land start and end in South East..... MO of ibo and Fulani is d same.... Migrate and breed non stop till they outnumber their host.... Then use back door to rule the host.... Yoruba are only lucky they have very much population.... Hausa is more useful than two of them.... God bless yoruba people

eduj:



Point is, just as the "copied from elsewhere and modified" agbada became a clothing identity of the Yoruba men, just as the fulani,ijaw and others have there distinct traditional attaires, the war cap became an Igbo identity.

No other ethnic group wears that war cap except the igbo

BanevsJoker:

The Ojo in Ojo Madueke is an Igbo name.

Eastlink:
Ok, admittedly he had his faults but his attitude of always wanting to force his ideals on our throats is my problem with him. Always finding enemies and saboteurs in the quest for Biafra.
IPOB is focused on things that have less affects on Ndigbo.

For me I’m a realist. And I believe we are faced with a lot of distractions that the Biafran struggle has blinded us to see. We’ve been relegated in every sphere in this country. Partly by government and largely by our own attitudes to fight battles that isn't our business. We never put our interest first that’s why we’ve become the laughing stock in PDP. We need a group like the INC or Great Benin Descendants in Igboland. One who's focus is fighting for everything Igbo interest in Nigeria. Territorially, culturally and politically. Not Ohaneze and not IPOB/MASSOB.

Igbo interest alone and nothing else.

Walkee:
Ogbemudia is Igbo?
You guys are serious clowns

Idiko1:


I guess he/she who does not know is a clown. Where did this statement leave you?

Arda1000:
u should have said they understand everything why small na

Arda1000:
incase you don’t know central Igbo is still the lingua Franca in Obigbo,poster from breweries like Hero etc are used in central Igbo just like you see in Onitsha/Asaba etc so what he said is still valid

Walkee:
what exactly are you trying to say?

HornyTave:


because I don't peddle lies like you.

come and tell me why Ibos don't understand Agbor and why Obiaroko understand both Ibo and Kwale.

Idiko1:


"You guys are serious clowns"

theInterpreter:
that's a lie
Àgbàdá was not from outside Yoruba land
We've been wearing àgbàdá for almost a thousand years
So if you can't bring evidence that it was copied
Have you heard of isolated development?

But the case is very different for eboe
The cap is barely a hundred years old

And ikwerre and other minorities use that cap

eduj:



We have been wearing the ishiagu for a million years- oya bring evidence

afube:






There is freedom of worship in Igboland the last time I checked, history is by and large subjective.....all you need to do is to issue rebuttals to any teachings of MNK you do not agree with. Ok, we should become pacifists and be rendered homeless by marauding Fulanis just like the hapless benue indigenes ! bros you no get case!

slim75d:
i am a full fledged opobo son from Dappa's war canoe house. Yes we speak a mixture of ibani/ijaw wit igbo. That does not make us igbos our culture, traditions are all ijoid, so look for a brother that have access to the atlantic some where else

5ThChild:


Instead of you to make friends with the Niger-delta people, you are making foes of them. Isn't that unwise ?
They are the only people that holds the chance of realizing anything Biafra

You are weak, accept that fact. Chose your enemies wisely

Shokoloko:


It is impossible that slaves will be allowed to form a cult

It is impossible that a deity of the slaves would be allowed to roam the village swallowing children

Why would the King Opubo Pepple refer to the Ibo sacred reptile as "his" fetish or juju?

theInterpreter:
Is Rótìmí eboe?

Fejoku:

Eastlink was a guy I had regard for until recently. His contributions have been immense towards the cause of Igbos but it's difficult to understand his outburst and disregard for MNK and IPOB. Today, I question the motive behind any contribution from him.
Nigeria is already on the path of collapse like a domino and every intelligent person must help to form a protective barrier for his territory leaving an internal difference for now. Before joining IPOB, I dis discuss with the then members stating my area of disagreement and bringing suggestions on how things can be better. I came to realize over time that my input will be more effective when I become a member which is what I did. Truly, I can say that I helped improved the movement. This is why I'm very proud of the group today. Let us try to be wholistic in our approach to our issues in Nigeria. A whole barrage of destructive plots were hatched against us to utterly finish us but thanks to God that today, we survived and even above it have made a great come back. We least we can do is to allow petty recognition to be a clog in the wheel of our progress. Let us focus on our mission and leave recognition for when the dust has settled.

oyatz:


Are you sure you are not Igbos?

Idiko1:


Which country if I may ask? It is funny for a person who want to believe he/she is realist yet refer to a shithole as country. What a country indeed.

oyatz:


Their modern generation don't have the necessary diplomatic attitudes needed in a heterogeneous country like Nigeria.
