Christistruth00: Are you kidding me, does that mean superiority in any way. Have you ever been in a party, where someone comes in and every body takes their chair. Isn't that what happened. Or did the OOni tell you, they kept a tag on his chair, while other superior kings came there. Or you think other kings don't have their respect and would have denied the invitation if that's what they were or how they were going to be addressed by sitting arrangement? funny you. 2 Likes 1 Share |

ThickSharon123: Ooni is the one in the Center of the Photograph . Photo: yoruba Obas 1937. From the Yorubas Obas conference 1937 proceedings Hosted by Sir Bernard Boudillon Governor General of Nigeria on 31st March and 1st April 1937 Quoting last paragraph of first page: “The Chiefs were seated in a horse-shoe formation, with the Oni of Ife ,as the head of the town from which all Yorubas have traditionally sprung at the centre ,and the Alaafin of Oyo at the western and the Oba of Benin at the eastern end, an arrangement which gave general satisfaction. 3 Likes

christistruth01: Are you serious ... Thank our Lord, you said Yoruba obas and not Kings of Nigeria. You Yoruba can hold honor to your OOni, but in the other picture I don't think that's what happened here. The Prince of England gave an invite and he wouldn't demean anyone by putting a tag on the chair, or making some pointless seating arrangement. Trust me, Kings are proud and they wouldn't have succumbed to such invites, never. So, stop being delusional |

SlayerForever:When the British finally defeated Aros and made themselves the only coercive force in the region, the Ijaw they brought with them were now free to come out of their boats to settle on land. Before then, those pirates were always dealt with by tribal warriors whenever they stray close to land. 9 Likes 1 Share |

.....I just got information from a Bonnian .....there is a mini crisis because Ijaw people were telling them to forget Igbo and make Igbo a taboo. ..... I didn't know the desperation gotten this far. ....He wrote that it was a very big quarrel... .... However, they didn't accept those terms and fought against it. .....This is now causing a fight. .... I discovered, one of them said it was Algoa's 1972 book that was FORCED on them. ..... There was a premeditated and well orchestrated plan to commit cultural genocide. 6 Likes 1 Share |

ChinenyeN: Sweetie, you're not Igbo. Bonny and Opobo are obviously Igbos, although we have Ijaw elements, it's obvious. But trying to tort history to suit what you believe had exposed you. Now, tell me, what would you say about the evidence shown to you. Crow and the likes aren't to be considered right becuase they didn't show how Jo men where representativs of the Bonny and Opobo island houses. Don't be bias in your approach even if you're a Jo person. Most of the Bonny and Opobo are proud to be Igbos, but you guys have adutlerted them with a language thats alien, destroyed their heritage by calling them descendants of slaves, and made them very confused in all aspects. Isn't that enough? But as I said the chi of all Igbos is so strong, that it can't be altered. And don't pretend with that Igbo speaking jamboree. An Ijaw man can learn Igbo here and pretend he's one. Language does not make you Igbo, if you're a proud Igbo it would be known unconsciously. 5 Likes |

ThickSharon123, going by your profile, you’ve only been on NL for the second half of this year. So I’ll extend some grace to you, since it’s possible that you do not know my comments on this platform. As an extension of that grace, I’ll encourage you to go and read through a thread called The Extent of Alaigbo right here on NL. Feel free to browse for my contributions on this topic, and feel free to see the timestamp for when those contributions were made. Thanks. |
