no, they should stay on their own with their tribalistic....... We can't be in your igbo supremacist biafra so leave us alone....... How is this an envy?

who made Igbo supremacy in Biafra, in yourself cowardice you run into shells when men are fighting, who is stopping you from being the supremacy yourself after all you said ijaw is bigger than Igbo why then are you afraid of some minority tribe who doesn't like you in your little mind

It is not as if these Ijaws are a "Higher" human beings for them to be actually seeking to have slaves, let along Igbos as slaves to them. I mean, these are people that should never ever be seen in civilized spaces, yet here they are right in our faces, taunting us.


Ijaw don't seem to understand yet that the coming of Biafra might lead to their extinction.

They know. Which is why most of them are anti BIAFRA.

The surprising thing to me is IPOB including them in Biafra and calling them "brothers" ,and then insulting any Igbo who try to correct them on that an "afonja" or "sabo".
I was labelled sabo and afonja on this forum by my IPOB brothers for being against Multiethnic BIAFRA especially with Ijaws included.

I've always maintained that in the larger scheme of things, IPOB have been a stumbling block and cog in the wheel of Igbo nationalism. The amount of time these directionless Ipob sycophants spent trying to force their preposterous and toxic idea of some multiethnic Biafra down our throat would have been better used using their strong platform and numbers to unite, re-orientate, and reach out more to the various Igbo subgroups that are cocooned in the bubble of identity crisis.

But I thank God for outstanding scholars and researchers like Maazi Ogbonnaya that is going out of the way to reach out to these beleaguered and forgotten Igbo communities outside the South East... his expose on the Igbos in Kogi state was brilliant and very enlightening.

Well, two wrongs don't make right.
You know our people are stubborn. If you start calling them(IPOB ) names like you just did above, they will feel insulted and out of anger and feeling of being disrespected, they will never come over to our side of Igbo nationalism, just to preserve their own ego.

So we must be careful how we call them names. I'm guilty of this too.
I'm sure they too can see they were wrong. We have to use respect, love and even sweet tongue if needed to woo them into dropping that Useless Multiethnic BIAFRA utopian, for the benefit of us, they and unborn Igbo generations.

IPOB have the numbers and resources that if deployed into Igbo nationalist movement would make us unstoppable.

If we can't convince our fellow brothers (IPOB) to support Igbo nationalism movement, then we have failed and shouldn't expect the world to support us.

We have our work cut out.

We just keep laying the facts and superior arguments without insulting them. I'm sure they are not blind or dense. They would eventually come around.

Igbo people, Ijaw don't hate you guys.
The 5 richest countries in the world are very very very small and landlocked,not even as big as Igbo land,
E.g Luxembourg and Switzerland etc.
What is stopping u guys from changing that system and ask for an only Igbo Nation like d way Ijaw is asking for an only Ijaw Nation.
Europe countries are for tribes of their own.

Okay, be prepared to be contained in Bayelsa.
Because once we push you back from Bonny and Opobo, we will not stop there until you are well and truly locked in your ancestral land between Bayelsa and Delta from where you came from to terrorize our shores.

If you are going to shoot for Bonny and Opobo. Just Know that you are putting your presence in the entire Rivers State on the line.
Because once we chase you off Bonnyland and Opobo, we will not stop there. As retaliation and punishment, we will chase you off the entire Rivers State and cage you in the Four local government area in Bayelsa and in Delta State.

If you are coming for Opobo and Bonny,make sure you don't miss.

Ndoki are Igbo speaking tribe of Igbo, not Ijaw but Igbo.
Bonny are Igbo speaking town ,therefore Igbo because they speak Igbo as a first language.
Opobo is an Igbo speaking town , therefore Igbo because they speak Igbo as a first language.

You don't see Igbo claiming non Igbo speaking groups like Kalabari, Okrika , Nembe , Brass , eleme etc.

if we go for biafra, we and Igbos go fight war, that's for sure. Only blind person will never see it.....

Kanu once or twice said every tribe in the south south originated from the igbo....
This is an abominable word to Ijaw..... So repeat of it can cause war between Ijaw and Igbo............

chiedozie198100:

N what's the difference?

Is opobo not a mirror image of Bonny.

Both Bonny n opobo have deep hatred for igbos.

Opobo and Bonny do not hate igbos at all,they are friends and have done business together for centuries..
The problem is the Igbo of today who have left the ways of their forefathers and start claiming other people territories..
No man born of a woman will be happy for such selfishness and land grabbing...

Just imagine Benin to stand up to say all 5 Igbo starts belong to Benin ...
Or Fulani claiming south east..
What Opobo and Bonny people are feeling right now is a threat of igbos and are now responding to it just as igbos and other tribes are responding to the encroachments of Fulani...
People natural will need to protect their heritage

No man born of a woman can make us throw away our mother tongue for his.

Even Britain didn't force people in Nigeria to throw away their mother tongue for English, so who is Ijaw to force us ụmụ Opobo to throw away our Igbo language?

Once I enter Opobo town, me and my UBANI brothers there will be speaking our Igbo language, dancing to Ekwe, Ogene and Igba. Shaking our heads to melodious Oja! We would be screaming Ubani "Nma nma nu!

While miscreants from Bayelsa will be in our rural creek screaming Aswana! Aaa Izon! and other nonsense chants.

that's where the suffering of you Igbos will started because you people have to pay Ijaw nation before passing through our sea way

Lol I just got off a whatsapp call with one of my friends from Opobo, and didn't even care until now (thanks to Nairaland awareness) about the debate of what primary language they spoke and the ethnicity they belonged to... so out of curiosity I randomly asked him if he could speak Igbo? my guy didn't even waste time before he gave me the "before nko?" reply of consternation, as if I just asked him the dumbest question ever... Long story short, we switched to Igbo and I swear on everything I hold sacred this guy was rapping in beautiful Igbo laced with what sounded like some central Owerri or Amaigbo dialect... me sef shock cause my Igbo isn't so good, that alone confirmed everything I needed to know.

Ijaws have lost this battle, we don't even need to do anything at this point... I'll be attending the Nwaotam festival to witness the beauty of Igbo culture in display. I'll also do interviews with the natives with my friends in purely Igbo, the time to reawaken our people is NOW.
