Wainey: YES, U ARE NOT ABOVE EDUCATION, NOBODY KNOWS IT ALL. IJAW ARE ORIGINALLY FROM THE WESTERN BINI. WHEN THE YORUBA CAME DOWN FROM THE NORTH TO BINI FROM ILE IFE IJAW FLED SOUTH, IGBOS FLED EAST. URHOBO FOLLOW RUN SOUTHEAST SINCE THEY FLED SOUTH TO THE SEA AND THE YORUBA KEPT COMING SOUTH, THEY STARTED JUMPING FROM ISLAND TO ISLAND IN AND AROUND ONDO, DELTA MAINLY. THE YORUBA FOLLWED THEM DOWN SOUTH AND GAVE BIRTH TO ILLAJE AND ITSEKIRI. (MIXED IJAWS) IN DELTA, THE IJAWS SETTELED AND GRADUALLY SPREAD EAST TO BAYELSA. THEY ARRIVED RIVERS STATE LATE, ATTRACTED BY THE TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE, WHICH THEY ARE MIDDLE MEN SELLING IGBOS. OGONI WERE BROUGHT FROM GHANA BY THE BRITISH TO ACT AS MIDDLE MEN IN SELLING IGBOS. IJAW DONT OWN BAYELSA. EVEN YENAGOA IS NOT IJAWLAND, WE HAVE A NATIVE TRIBE THERE CALLED THE EPIE AND ATISSA. U STILL HAVE IGBOS IN THAT SAME BAYELSA NORTH. THIS IS JUST THE TRUTH. 6 Likes 1 Share |

CapitalBank: The response is on the argument that Bonny is Ijaw land, this is very debatable considering the people themselves claim to be Igbo descendants. |

I am going to say something i have been thinking. Those Igbos found in Bioko, they were probably the Igbos these Ijaw, Urhobo and isoko people displaced from their original homeland. Those three groups used to live among the bini in Binin Kingdom before they dispersed into their current locations. hammer567: |

Malawian: BINI IS ORIGINALLY IGBO LAND. DO YOU KNOW WHY IJAW FLED SOUTH TO THE OCEAN? IT IS BECAUSE THEIR EAST WAS OCCUPIED BY IGBO. ESAN ARE IGBO PEOPLE. URHOBO LANGUAGE IS FULL OF IGBO WORDS, DONT KNOW HOW THEY CAME ABOUT OR WHAT MIX. WHEN TWO TRIBES MIX THEY CREATE A SUBTRIBE AND LANGUAGE START TO CHANGE. U SEE WHEN THE YORUBA FOUGHT IJAWS INTO THE SOUTH, THEY PRODUCE ILAJE AND ITSEKIRI MIX. 1 Like |

TODAY BINI PEOPLE SPEAK A LANGUAGE THAT IS MIXED IGBO WITH YORUBA. FOR EXAMPLE: OBA GHA ATO KPERE. OBA IS YORUBA FOR KING. GHA IS IGBO FOR WILL. ATO IS TO BE STUCK/LONG. KPE IS YORUBA FOR LONG ALSO OBA MAY YOUR REIGN BE LONG. |

Timetravel88:My point is the ENTIRE Rivers state is not Igbo land. There are Igbos in Rivers state for sure, I am just saying that you cant call the entire Rivers state as Igbo land because that would be causing more problems. 1 Like |

Poiniyisworld:Igbo is the language of trade . Just as u speak English. The north regiion speak Hausa but their are other indigenous languages. Language does not classify tribe else u could v been called an English man for speaking English. Opobo language is ibani language. Igbo is just a language of trade picked up during slave trade the trade won't understand what their Opobo mastere doing. Slaves ld then were mostly Igbo regrettably 2 Likes |

LOVEALAIGBO: I am aware of what you have written. That is why you see them angry and worried about what Barrister Uche Okwukwu keeps saying. He is currently gunning to become the Ohanaeze Ndigbo PG, when Rivers state is expected to produce the PG next year. They don't want someone like Okwukwu being in charge of Ohanaeze as he is sure to assert his Igboness so completely, and very likely to get these Igbo territories on the fringes to assert their Igboness also. This scenario scares Igbo haters, and those who are landgrabbing Igbo territories in Rivers state. I make it clear to them that their gas-lighting does not work on me. Every inch of Igbo territory will remain Igbo forever, and Igbos will bulldoze any ethnic group that intends to wickedly appropriate God-given Igbo territories as theirs. 2 Likes |
