Tell no lies, claim no easy victory, and tell it to the people the way it is”

Until you take an ignorant man through a preliminary knowledge he will continue to bask in the solitude of his foolishness and ignorance, that is the case of the ijaw and their falsified historical gibberish. I will like to quickly answer some of the delusional fact about a one paged history of the ijaw people, first and foremost this people are not recognized anywhere in the world but the little known about them is thuggery, land grabbing, kidnapping, bunkering, arm robbery etc. God gave one of their Son the opportunity to rectify their waywardness but he became even the worst and most corrupt president in the history of Nigeria instead of sending this hooligans back to primary school or at best secondary school he was empowering them through ammunitions, well for the purpose of this thread let me answer some of your allegations.

First the ijaws have been unable to tell us where exactly their origin is, they are liken to the biblical Cain who was the first known fugitive. They went further to say they are about 15 millions in number, don’t forget that in early 60s it was on record that they were the fifth most populated minorities in the then Old eastern region how then in less than 60 years they are now the most populated tribe in Niger Delta for clarity lets fragmentize so the world can know that this people are born liars in the last presidential election, Bayelsa their sole state could not produce up to 500,000 votes, they are less than 20,000 ijaws in Edo which can be visibly proved during the September 28th gubernatorial election, they are less than 100,000 in Ondo States while in Delta State the Urhobos are about 1million in population as the most populated tribe in Delta it therefore means the Ijaw are less than 1million then in River State predominately dominated by Ikwerres, I put it to you that they are not up to 100, 000 Ijaws living there, with all this analysis the Ijaw population in Nigeria is between 3-4m. Propaganda cannot get you people anywhere but facts.

The article further wrote that Ijaw earliest ancestors dropped from the sky, another fairytale that even the Yorubas have since dissociated from their Story about Oduduwa fallen from the Sky I wonder why a tribe in which over 90% of their entire populace are stark illiterate. Let’s go further please.

They further quote Dr. J U Egharevba of Benins migrating from Sudan to Ile-Ife gibberish talk, but what they never knew was that part of J U Egharevba book on Short History of Benin has been long faulted by Egharevba himself and other Benin historians, the Benins never left Benin it is our Aboriginal land. So you see your argument on us meeting ferryman no longer hold water. Let’s go further.

The writer eventually said the Portuguese possibly had a relationship with the ijaws before the Benin, another lie from pit of hell the Portuguese were at that time the greatest navigators they understood and heard that there was a kingdom richly blessed with pepper, coral beads, palm oil etc. They came solely for business not to interact with slaves of a well-known empire, what could you have offered the Portuguese for those years you had an interaction with them before they met with Benin people? Are there evidence in Portuguese archive that they met with Ijaw first before the Benin? In the name of trying to give a meaning to your aboriginal slavery identity don’t go changing history. All the dealings the Benins had with the Portuguese are well documented in their archives as well as the Benin having embassy in Portugal and our princes they all have advance education as early as 14th century, which make the Benin people the first educated people in a geographical location now called Nigeria, to further prove our relationship with the Portuguese Oba Esigie was the first Man in Nigeria to speak a foreign language (Portuguese) even our princes were being trained in Portuguese language,

Again Holy Aruosa was built in 15th century as one of the oldest church in Nigeria if not the Oldest. I could go on and on. What are your evidence Izon people that you had relationship with the Portuguese? The author foolishly wrote that the Oba of Benin is for the Binis not ijaws, it shows how myopic and less read the writer could be, is the Ooni of Ife only the Kabieyesi of Ife or the entire Yoruba race in which his location of his palace( the Yoruba aboriginal home is located)? Again the Queen of England does she only preside over England or the entire British kingdom that houses three other countries in which her Buckingham palace sits at England? I’m sure coming from a slave tribe like Ijaw where there has never been any Royalty except the sham you guys call Gbaramatu Kingdom that was established few years ago by the Delta state government, can it be compared to other kingdoms that were under the province of great Benin Empire. Well Oba of Benin reside in Benin where is kingdom stretched almost the entire present South-South region and beyond, again Ijaws where never added because they are selectively inconsequential slaves who always did what was ask of them and the Oba saw no reason to vet his authority on people who are naturally obedient. So there was no need to establish a dukedom amongst the Ijaw you can see why you guys lack a royal blood unlike other tribes in Niger-Delta.

Other tribes have moved from violence into education, which is one of the powerful instruments possessed by the modern Igbos who have bridged the education gap which is richly possessed by the yorubas, today in Niger Delta Edo comfortably sits at the top of the educational chain. Bayelsa is the worst State Educationally and their expansionist agenda can never come to fruition now that we have realized who they really are. You have sounded the war drum I hope when the giants arose you people won’t beg for leniency. There is a Benin parable that says Ama vbe nor ovbokhan ghe wa ko valo valo ikhurion oya mu ne gbe (nobody warns a child not to have a sledged teeth but it gives he or she ugliness). I know you have one or two grievances to table after reading this brief article go ahead fishermen slave I am here to answer your questions,

Oba Gha To kpere
Uyi Edo Ghiwi.

GreatBoss:
If the Bini is as old as the Ijaw, why doesn't Benin have access to the Atlantic Ocean?
Why is Benin landlocked till today?
If the Edo want to get to the ocean they have to pass many hundreds of Ijaw villages first.
If they are as old as Ijaw how come they are far far far far away from the ocean?

Why are they landlocked?
Nature answers some questions itself through peoples location, and not some lies by some foolish people.

GreatBoss:


See as them don use your brain for juju.

Ijaw that many believe are even the third largest tribe, not that 4th they gave us.
Don't you see how many people have viewed the topic and didn't say a thing to your foolishness post.
Only your fellow useless Bini man that doesn't know that Ogbia is Ijaw.

tnerro1:
The Ijaws of the Niger Delta are like the Ebonyi of the south east. Backwards and primitive in every way, thinking violence is the solution to every issue.Am a proud esan man and will gladly follow the oba of Benin against these troublesome people.

Dera1000:
I have lived in bayelsa for close to 4 years, I have been to different local government areas starting from ekeremor(Letugbene) to southern ijaw then to ogbia(otuoke) before I settled in ekeki in yenegoa,I have been across all the local government areas in the state, 85% of baylesa is covered with water, apart from yenegoa sagbama ogbia and few parts of southern ijaw, the rest is an island or swampy areas....


Point of correction Bayelsa is not homogeneous ijaw or izon, many bayelsans don't see ogbia people as izon, sagbama local government areas have some tribes that are not ijaw....aldo the ijaws are more in number...

When it comes to social vices like thuggery kidnapping arm robbery and land grabbing, they have there own fair shares in it like other tribe...

With good governance Bayelsa would be one of the best state to reside in, they have one of the best vegetation, beautiful culture, lovely people..

Let love leads note am not from Bayelsa, but I had a nice experience there

Dera1000:
The ijaws are more as bad as u see them, if you come close you will definitely fall in love with them, aldo they have many bad eggs...the oba should find a way to accommodate them

JubrilBuhari:

This is not true.
The only people that believe Ijaw to be the 4th biggest tribe in Nigeria are your fellow deluded Ijaw land grabbers.
I am not even sure Ijaw is in the top 10 biggest tribes in Nigeria?

Which Ijaw please? Where and where are you found in numbers in Nigeria?

GreatBoss:


You think it's empty space Ijaw use and spread straight into 6 big States, while having many different local government areas, in each of these states,without other tribes entering our centre?
Or do you know of uninhabited lands in Ondo. Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom State?

JubrilBuhari:

Relax bro, you do not spread anywhere.
Just a few fishermen migrants at the bank of rivers in those states doesn't make them significant.
Ijaw is not found in numbers anywhere in Nigeria including your Bayelsa.
Bayelsa is a scantily populated state, covered with water and swamp. The only place you find people is Yenagoa which happens to have a heavy chunk of Igbo traders.

Also, we can say Igbos are more populous than China since they are found almost in every looks and cronies across the globe!

GreatBoss:

[s]
They did not calculate most Bayelsans.
Because of fear of crossing Rivers because Rivers seperates Ijaw towns from the next in Bayelsa.
In Rivers State alone, Ijaw have 12 LGA.
I will not answer you again.[/s]

Biafrarep:


Stop telling lies while hoping that people will believe it someday. There are no Ijaws in Rivers State except those that are living there as non indigenes.

Indigenous Rivers people always refer to Ijaws as bayelsans. Ask yourself why they do that? Also ask yourself why Wike threatened ijaw youths never to go back to Bayelsa when they tried to protest at NDDC office.

Your IYC and the rest are just cult groups juvenile delinquents in niger Delta like identifying with because it gives them cover to be perpetrating crimes such oil bunkering, extortions and other juicy criminal activities.

I am an ijaw man from Rivers State,so type what you know son.
