The Truth About The Opobo And Igbo Language Saga. by Patrioticbreed9(m): 8:43am On May 01, 2023 |
The L2 language of opobo after english is igbo, in Nkoro the l2 is an andoni version of ibani. Note:ibani is not a standard language, i have a feeling it is extinct! The ibani spoken in finima in bonny is an anglicalized kalabari. Infact many andonis are claiming that what the opobo(nkoro) speak is andoni and what bonny(fanime) speak is kalabari, But how is that posible when opobo and bonny ibani are same people? the real ibani is extinct!. So in a bid to some re-ijoidize theirself they adopted their neighboring eastern ijaw language, apart from fanime in bonny am yet to see an opobian that speak fluent ibani without ading pigin eg preye abeg do! saki'ofori. Igbo language is dominant as an l2 in both opobo and bonny till date, reasons are due to slave trade and inter-mariage. The ubanis are igbos(ndoki) and the urantas are mixed(ibani-ndoki) while senibos are ijaws. For me the place igbo language ought to be ban is nkoro because of the reason some of them speak igbo was to do busines in opobo . 1 Like |

Am not a riveline talkmore of being an opobian, am an uplander(emohua lga) the only link i have with them is my maternal grandma who is an Ndoki-opobian. Just like what bonny island did some years back, opobo should make schools teach ibani. Although in my opinion banning igboid-ndoki dailect in opobo is not 100% fair because they are many ndokis in opobo. Though the ndokis are the majority in opobo an ikwerre wise saying says "Nye nwe eli welu eli" EVEN if the hausas outnumber the gbagyis tomorow in their land, it wont be a crime for the gbagyi to do what will help them despite their population, lets be honest. |

Patrioticbreed9: L1 should be the correct classification not L2. L1 is the native tongue they grew up with. The Igbo language has been the language of Ubani (Bonny and Opobo) origin. Bonny was originally made up of Ndoki Igbo and Brass tribes. All relevant historical data confirms this claim. A people's language is part of their culture, it's part of who they are. You can't wish it away overnight. 5 Likes |
