BKayy: ...I will not blame the academics generally. We do not lack literature in my opinion. There are so much books, that would drown you for days. .....but do we read? Do our parents buy these history books for us to read? Even telling us our history is even a problem to start with... These are the things that need to change. ...The politicians? those ones are useless. ...... In fact, I understand those who credit Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for the current new Igbo consciousness, especially. .....His belief pandered to minorities but those issues he raised have brought out the minds and hearts of the average Igbophobic minority. In my opinion... |

Another thing is the packaging... ....Chinua Achebe's book have done more publicity for the Igbo culture than any Igbo politician in history. ....When the song Love Nwantiti went viral, some people were like, "...wow, is this Okonkwo's language? ...You must support what Flavour and Phyno. ...Nollywood must undo all the negative stereotypes they have done on the image of Igbos. They MUST romanticise the culture, society and people. ...Writers like Adichie must continue to write beautiful piece. Everyone plays a role!! 1 Like |

lol, confusion in the camp of drug dealing land grabbers. do you know how many Eze'ndigbo they have all over Nigeria? eze'ndigbo Lagos, Eze'ndigbo ogun, Eze'ndigbo Ondo. The igbos are known travelers, entering everywhere uninvited. they wanted to do that at cross river (Eze'ndigbo of Cross river) the cross river traditional rulers agressively halted it. if care is not taken, 9pluto, Ekealterego, Igboid, Bkayy, SlayerForever of the future in 400 years time will claim the igbos owned those states. igbos who don't have affinity to water, who dread the swamp and mangroves now suddenly claiming to be Water people. Father lord! Igbos who were slaves in Bonny just as pepple and crowther said. igbos who were given freedom by Asimini because they showed they aided him in war. funny enough, land grabbing clowns never want to talk about the ijoh enculturating ritual. (I will write a thread about THE ENCULTURATING RITUAL) where certain rites and spiritual practices are carried out before the spirits to change a person's ancestral identity. if ijohs weren't the land lord, why were igbos enculturated Ekealterego, 9pluto etc answer. why were there enculturating rituals performed on Igbo slaves?? infact the igbos should stop seeing Jaja as Igbo anymore, he swore before the spirits, cleansed his blood, renounce his ancestry and tribe, even his name to be JUBO JUBOGHA. that alone is big prove that the ijos were the owners, lord and master of the Igbos, and bonny. captain8 Putindbutt ditaridesciple2 how about we think of names to rename our slaves? I earlier renamed Ekealterego OTONYE DOMOKUMA 9pluto, SlayerForever Igboid biafrarep bkayy needs to be renamed ASAP. we need to enculturate them like our ancestors did. 2 Likes |

Eastlink: that is why I do not criticise IPOB too much, the reason being that IPOB is by far the most determined,focused and resourceful Igbo dominated association today bar none! I pray that if and when Nnamdi Kanu is released by FG ,Pa mbazuluike Amaechi will persuade him to finally enter Igbo politics...............if properly focused on igbo nationalism......IPOB is a whale of an adversary! those guys have their tentacles everwhere.....MNK will have to convince his men that igbo nationalism is the way to go! 2 Likes |

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike on Wednesday received the Golden Key to the city of Opobo as the first governor to drive into the Ancient Island. Amayanabo and Natural Ruler of Opobo Kingdom , King Dandeson Douglas Jaja who presented the Golden Key of Opobo Kingdom thanked the Rivers State Governor for constructing the road that has opened the kingdom. He said: "Opobo people are happy that you have constructed this road into our town. This is a historic moment that the Rivers State Governor is the first to drive into the kingdom". He prayed God to continue to bless Governor Wike and lift him up to greater heights for improving the area. "This is the Golden Key into the Historic city of Opobo . With this key, you are now a citizen of Opobo. You have all the rights of an Opobo citizen ", he said. Also speaking, Alabo Godwin Omoni Bupo said since 1870 when Opobo Town was founded, no governor has driven into the Ancient Island. He said: "By this singular act, you have made history which cannot be equalled. We remain grateful to you for keeping your promise to our people that they would drive home in December 2018". He noted that the new road is already positively impacting on the economy of Opobo Kingdom as wholesalers have started moving wares into the town. Responding, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike expressed happiness that he has made history as the first governor to drive into Opobo Town. While thanking the Opobo Council of Chiefs for the recognition, Governor Wike assured them that his administration will diligently fund the project to complexion. "This road has gone beyond the level of abandonment. We will source for funds and drive it to complexion", he said. The governor said that King Dandeson Douglas Jaja insisted that he drove into the Ancient Island, instead of flying in a chopper to the area. He said he felt fulfilled helping the people actualize their dream. "I give God the glory that during my time, Opobo people can drive into their beautiful kingdom. Sir Peter Odili started this road, but could not complete it. The immediate past administration could not complete it. We are happy that we are the administration that will complete the road", he said. Though the Opobo axis of the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo-Nkoro Unity Road is yet to be completed, Governor Wike has driven the project to 85percent completion. He assured the people that he will complete all aspects of the road by May 2019.

9Pluto: Nwaotam is a borrowed play in Opobo n Bonny. But it has come to stay as it is a play used to identify the people. That is not the only masquerade being played in Opobo. Every 25th of December, it is played in Port Harcourt (talking of the Opobo own) and 1st of January in Opobo. Bonny plays theirs on the 15th of December. Now, after nwaotam is played on the 1st, it ushers in the celebrations in the town, where other masquerades play like Owu-tariah etc. Don't take that to mean the town is purely Ibo nah! This is 6:30pm this is a pic of the waterfront. I am just chilling having a cool breeze to my skin 2 Likes
