I bu ewu gambia.

Leave Ijaws alone.
They only joined the suit because you jellyfishes have them in your ridiculous maps.

Let them be. Denounce them, tell them they are irrelevant to your plans and watch them melt away. They are actually irrelevant. It's brainless IPOB that are giving them relevance.

Concentrate on aggressive unification Agenda of all Igbos in SS. You do this better by gaining Political control of SE and Making SE an economic power House in Nigeria.
People naturally associate with success, power and wealth.
You can't be rendering Ndiigbo powerless in Nigeria by reducing our official number ( No Census in 2006 by MASSOB) and by political emasculation (No Election by IPOB since 2015 with attendant low voters registration) and by Economic sabotage ( reduction of days of economic activities through incessant public holidays for a single man). And the be surprised we are not even getting the support of Igbos outside SE.
Who would want to attach to a powerless people with no economic muscle?

IPOB is as it stands the greatest enemy of Ndiigbo! angry

Tufia! Are you lots imbeciles? What is wrong with all of you? Ife obu Ara ka obu agwu!

I still maintain that you are an idiot for directing this diatribe towards me.
Can you tell me one thing I said that should warrant this insult from you.
In all my contributions towards any issue bordering on Biafra on this forum and somewhere else,I have always advocated for an only igbo Biafra nation.
My post here is to point out how the minorities have always tried to cause confusion each time Biafra issue comes up, something that didn't start today.talking about map ,is there anything in the suit that potends to the inclusion of the minorities in the so called Biafra map.the clowns that are suing said South East,so what concerns ijaws and Biafra map in the matter.
Please don't you ever quote me again.

Your ways play into Nigerian hands.
Rather than work in Uniting all Igbos from Bonny/Opobo to Benue (Ezza and Izzi in Benue state) together.
You lots are lost in the stupid Multiethnic BIAFRA with Igbophobic minorities, and are ending up losing Igbos outside SE, as they now see us as a people without clue!

Make Biafra a strictly Igbo speaking affair, get involved in SE politics and elect credible leaders, unite Igbos across SE and SS, be aggressive in clamping down any minorities encroaching into Igbo territories. Grow in Nigeria and in future when you want Biafra, you can take it without lifting a muscle.

Simple task any serious organization would undertake but brainless people in IPOB wouldn't understand.

Who did it favor that MASSOB scuttled Census on SE in 2006 and had since left us undercounted and now 3rd behind Yorubas?

Who is it going to favor that we have least registered voters in Nigeria and will as a result have no Political bargaining power in upcoming general elections?

I can see that you brainless dolts are being sponsored by our enemies to finish us kpatakpata!
You constantly work with our enemies to have us humiliated, ridiculed and marginalized, so that you will be able to keep your message of "they are marginalizing us" alive and be able to scam people with "we need BIAFRA as alternative" message?
Are you lots not wicked against your own like this?

It will not work for you guys. Your days are numbered if you continue like this.
Nwanne, IPOB is the number one enemy of Ndigbo, take this anywhere. I don't care whose axe is gored here, ndia bu ezigbota onsogbu dir anyi

How can you lock down an entire region for one week because of one man? One man that is yet to attract one single development to his decaying state, or the entire Igboland? One man that has zero investment in the east? A man that lives from the contribution of his members, you lock down Igboland because Kanu is coming to court.

Infact, the referendum should be done in Igbo land, it should be in three parts, those who wants to follow Biafra, those who wants to remain in Nigeria and those who wants to join the SS, every community in Igbo should have a separate referendum.

FYI, at no point in time was ijaw land conquered, Ijaw wasn't even suppose to be part of the 1914 almagamation sef cos no ijaw signed that document
How far?

The joke is on you.
You lots (IPOB) are all mad.
The issue is where does Minority Land start and stop in the South-South? You see how some of these minorities are claiming Igbo people as belonging to their tribes? for e.g Igbanke being claimed by Bini people, some Igbo people in Benue state being claimed by Idoma people, some in Kogi state being claimed by Igala people. Then there is the more important issue of Bonny and Opobo, and i dare say even Nembe. These places will need a referendum otherwise, Ijaw will claim it.

Referendum does not first have to be included in the constitution before it can be considered by the FG. Their various elected officials need to just formally apply requesting for it. Even at the state assembly level it can be initiated. Ibos aren't apt enough to know how to get their Biafra

. Why are u guys trying to worship us to join una mumu biafra.

There was bight of Biafra ,before Nigeria
Before ,the Fulani seperated, Ndigbo from there sister communities, by the invaders ,from Futadjalon for there own ,economic interest,they have built a refinery in Kaduna, none in Igboland;they are planning to build another in Maradi, none in Igboland; Ndigbo believe in "Onye ahala nwaneya policy" Let us brake away from the Futadjalon enemies first, then we all can decide whatever we want;The gulf of Biafra have the richest deposit of mineral resources, not only crude oil -If you think that Ndigbo want yall ,because of your crude oil ,or water ways;Ndigbo have water ways (River Niger ,easily dredged to the sea;Imo and Abia have crude oil),and Igboland land have multiple mineral resources that are not crude oil.
Firstly, let us properly define Igbo land. It covers the entire Southeast “zone” as well as parts of Rivers(Ikwerre, Ekpeye, Ogba and Etche) ; Delta (Anioma); Akwa-Ibom(Ohaobu-Ndoki village), Benue( Ezza, Izzi, Ezzamgbo and perhaps Ulayi); Edo(Anioma related groups); Cross River (Isobo and Izii groups of Obubra) and Bayelsa( Osekwenike-Onyah axis). There are indigenous Igbo people in 11 states of Nigeria. I was tempted toB write this because since the agitation of Biafra went on overdrive, those opposed to the idea often remind the agitators that Igbo land does not have resources and will be unviable. Firstly, the idea of Biafra is not an Igbo one but somehow, the peculiar nature of Nigeria tends to project it in that direction. And secondly, even if we assume that Biafra is only Igbo land (which it was not), there are rich mineral resources within its boundaries which will put any assumption of an unviable Igbo state as unfounded. The issue is that we have failed even as Igbos to exploit these resources to propel the economic development of Igbo land and keep and grow capital in the area. The growing profile of INNOSON comes to mind. Some of the raw materials which are used by the automobile industry are found in abundance in Igbo land or other parts of the old Eastern region. But I am pretty sure that the company “imports” its raw materials from other parts of Nigeria or even beyond the shores of the country. Developing these resources will create employment, and foster economic growth and development of Igbo land. Igbo land occupies an area of approximately 42,000 km2 of area or about 4.5 per cent of the total land area of Nigeria (about 930,000 km2). I am not an expert on geology but this write-up is to reassure ourselves that the territory occupied by Igbos is not as “dry” as claimed by some people. The bulk of the mineral resources of Igbo land is concentrated in the geological area called the “Lower Benue Trough” which extends to parts of Cross River and Akwa-Ibom States. This geological zone is one of the most mineral-rich in Nigeria.

The obolo or Obolobolo people are ijoid.
there was an ancient dispersal following a spiritual plague hundreds of years ago.
Obolobolo use to be part of the ancient six divisions or quaters which made up the old Nembe.
(Oboloamabiri, Opubigamabiri, kalabigamabiri, olodioamabiri, onyoamabiri, Oroamabiri)

the dispersion made them to scatter and many of them went and found the present Obolo and also retaining the name. some went to kalabari, some to okrika, others were merged into the other settlements.
after a long while a small batch led by one Kala-ekule returned.

the reason they are somewhat ibibio-like is because of the ibibio influence over the many generations that followed.
same with the ijaws of ondo who have the Yoruba element in them.

Stop inventing stories to suite your skewed narrative and ill intentions.

You have it mixed up. But to educate others I'll help you out. Ijoid klans are some of the last to settle in Nigeria. With the latest resettlement for example being Kalabari to the new and current location in the late 19th century, today they will be calling that Kalabari Land ijaw land whereas the people just moved there less than 150 years ago.

The Annang/Ibibio/Efik People are older to the location than Ijaw people, so how can they be the eroding the local language when they were there earlier. It would also interest you to know that the arochukwu people and a good number of todays abians are actually annang people. The biggest Shrine in igboland during the slave trade era was the Ibini Ukpabi shrine which is an annang/ibibiod/Efik word, and the Annang people are still the kings to this day in Arochukwu.

Obololand was a major slave and slave trader depot for slaves enroute to bonny. The slave traders were Annang/ibibio/Efik, Ijaw, ogoni and ibo and the slaves were mostly ibo. The mixture of these languages is what formed the creation of the Andoni tribe. That is why today if an Ibo man listens to the Obolo man speak. he can find a lot of similar words to igbo just like people who speak Annang/Ibibio/Efik would understand a lot as well. The least input into the Obolo culture and language are the now defunct defraka people who were ijoid.

The Obolo people are a Hybrid clan, a fusion of people who were the most active in the ruling class of the Aro Confederacy which Ijaw was part of but was headed by Annang,ibibio/Efik and Ibo people. Now no one is saying that the their is nothing ijawish about the Obolo People, there are ijaw traits but its the least compared to the other tribes. How can the people with the least trait come and claim the entire land as theirs.

It would interest you to know that the Obolo people also have small traits of Benin origin. Imagine if the Benin people came to claim the whole land as Benin territory.

Mind you as we write, at least 80 percent of Obolo people do not know that their people are being claimed to be Ijaw people online otherwise their WILL be Backlash.

I called my tenant who is an Obolo woman to ask if she is an Ijaw woman and her response was "God forbid". I told her about this article and I believe she will be coming here to put an input. I know there is nothing wrong with being Ijaw, Ijaw people are people just like you have anywhere else, But when your people want to Name your new country Ijaw republic, while trickishly adding other tribes that are not ijaw and then erase other peoples tribe and languages, that is WRONG!

Even that map is setting you people for a major war with Akwaibom, Igbo and even my clan Ogoni people.

Nope
You don't need any referendum to get those people on board if you do your homework well.
Ewu na-eso onye ji igu!
Take over political leadership of SE, initiate an economic transformation of the region through top notch governance.
Play the power game at the FG level well without sentiments.
Launch an aggressive reunification with all Igbo clans outside SE, they will all come running, once they see you have transformed your region and shown credible leadership and direction!
That's how you unite Igboland.

Not by making SE an economic poor zone and Making her politically powerless in Federal politics by low voting power.

The solution to our problem is not rocket science.

If the Igbos outside SE see any iota of sense in terms of leadership in SE, they will all claim relationship! Onye nwe ego, onwe nwanne! It's not a rocket science. IPOB should stop already.

Look! your people have added my community and are calling it an Ijaw clan, Everyone of age in Rivers state knows that we have been fighting Kalabari and Okrika people for generations. I am an ogoni Man, we have nothing in common with Ijaw people in language and cultural structure. Till today in Rivers state, our people are not allowed to intermarry with Rivers Ijaws and you come out here with your fraudulent map and call our people Ijaw people?

Let me also tell you that Obolo People are not Ijaw people, everyone in rivers state knows that. The majority of them about 70% bear akwa ibom sounding names. Out of the remaining 30 percent 20 percent bear igbo names and the remaining ijoid names. You people went and grabbed one of the very few people bearing an ijoid name in western obolo and made him IYC president, so that you people can draw this map and claim lands as far away as ibeno.

I was having a conversation with an elder statesman, a traditional title holder from Obolo land who clearly said that Obolo people are not ijaw people rather identify with Ijaws through the INC to gain traction for similar struggles on the national stage. Obolo people are of annang,obibio,ibo and defraka(ijaw) origin. How can people from Brass come and claim the entire land as their own?

Please wake Up! Stop accusing ibo people of what your people are trying to do. Dont start drawing lines and making false boundary claims. Alot of the indigenes of the communities you have added in your map would laugh loudly if someone called them Ijaw in person.

I'm not saying what I don't know cos I have interacted with them and for the bolded, Ogbia language don't in any way have any Ijoid relationship; in between, Ogbia speaks Edoid language.

Ogbia people have always told the Ijaws that they weren't related or should be classified as Ijaws, they're Ogbia and remain Ogbia.

About Nembe speaking Ijoid language, You and I know for sure that you can't hear them speak and their lingua is no way related and no similarity of culture even.

An Epie man told me that the govt are forcing them to learn Ijaw by compulsion.

The same thing an Ogbia man told me.
Bro I am Nembe.
We call God Ayiba
Ogbia calls God Aziba.

We say "nua" as thank you.
Ogbia say "Lua" as thank you.. etc

Say what you know bro.
Everyone like to claim independent even Nembe where I come from, that's because those entities were important and powerful on their own during the precolonial days, but we all speak an ijoid Language.

Stop inventing stories to suite your skewed narrative and ill intentions.

You have it mixed up. But to educate others I'll help you out. Ijoid klans are some of the last to settle in Nigeria. With the latest resettlement for example being Kalabari to the new and current location in the late 19th century, today they will be calling that Kalabari Land ijaw land whereas the people just moved there less than 150 years ago.

The Annang/Ibibio/Efik People are older to the location than Ijaw people, so how can they be the eroding the local language when they were there earlier. It would also interest you to know that the arochukwu people and a good number of todays abians are actually annang people. The biggest Shrine in igboland during the slave trade era was the Ibini Ukpabi shrine which is an annang/ibibiod/Efik word, and the Annang people are still the kings to this day in Arochukwu.

Obololand was a major slave and slave trader depot for slaves enroute to bonny. The slave traders were Annang/ibibio/Efik, Ijaw, ogoni and ibo and the slaves were mostly ibo. The mixture of these languages is what formed the creation of the Andoni tribe. That is why today if an Ibo man listens to the Obolo man speak. he can find a lot of similar words to igbo just like people who speak Annang/Ibibio/Efik would understand a lot as well. The least input into the Obolo culture and language are the now defunct defraka people who were ijoid.

The Obolo people are a Hybrid clan, a fusion of people who were the most active in the ruling class of the Aro Confederacy which Ijaw was part of but was headed by Annang,ibibio/Efik and Ibo people. Now no one is saying that the their is nothing ijawish about the Obolo People, there are ijaw traits but its the least compared to the other tribes. How can the people with the least trait come and claim the entire land as theirs.

It would interest you to know that the Obolo people also have small traits of Benin origin. Imagine if the Benin people came to claim the whole land as Benin territory.

Mind you as we write, at least 80 percent of Obolo people do not know that their people are being claimed to be Ijaw people online otherwise their WILL be Backlash.

I called my tenant who is an Obolo woman to ask if she is an Ijaw woman and her response was "God forbid". I told her about this article and I believe she will be coming here to put an input. I am sure there is nothing wrong with being Ijaw, Ijaw people are people just like you have anywhere else, But when your people want to Name your new country Ijaw republic and then erase other peoples tribe and languages, that is WRONG!

Even that map is setting you people for a major war with Akwaibom, Igbo and even my clan Ogoni people.



Like I said, everyone will always want to maintain a level of Independence and answer their first name first.
Ask the Obolo people were their first home was.
Five of the six ancient divisions of the old Nembe does not exist anymore as they have been assimilated into what is now known as Nembe.
Every Obolo man knows of a dispersion from part of what is now known as Nembe.
Ask the old ones.
Even many ijoid clans have some element of Benin in them.
Some families in Nembe trace their ancestry to iselema-warri, some trace their families to Benin, but for hundreds of years they have now been assimilated and speak the ijoid Language of Nembe.
So bro, I don't have time for long argument, I even only scanned through your long rant.

You people should clap for them biko. Ijaws and Igbos are different. At least when we leave, they won't be classifying us with then historically, and intermingling ourselves with them. Ijaw and Igbos have been distinctly separate groups of people.

Ijaw consists of Yoruba's, Igbo, and even Ghanaian and English, languages and names.

Nana that's strictly for we Ghannians is used in Ijaw. I was surprised to see it in Nigeria, till when I began to hear my Ghanain people intermingled with those rats. Igbos should hail Ijaw for their good deed. We move.
