The writing from Dr. Baikie was more definite. The inhabitants of Bonny are of Igbo descent
As you can see from the snippet, Baike interviewed two groups of people, the kalabaris and the ibos while the kalabari called it as ibani as pronounced today, the ibos pronounced it Obane. Besides, Baike was one of the late arrivals.

As you rightly wrote, the two subsections of the Igbo society that founded Bonny/Ubani are
1. Ngwa people
2. Ndoki people

Both groups are bonafide Igbo groups, and the indigenes of Bonny left no one in doubt as to their ancestry, hundreds of years ago before latter-day revisionists came to the scene.

Ngwa and Ndoki people founded Bonny.
Big lies, Ndoki never founded Bonny, Ndoki are neighbors to Bonny till date. For the Ngwa you put in there, lol, make i just laugh. You guys are the real revisionists, how can slaves in bonny be laying claims?, the guts!

Even the Modern day Ijaw revisionists realising how untenable to claim they got to Bonny all the way from Delta, now made up a new story where they claim they migrated to Ndoki first and then from Ndoki they went to Bonny. grin
That was how the forged the senseless "Aminandokiari" lies they are parading about!

The Truth will always triumph!
Do you know that the lawmakers representing the district of bonny and opobo are ijaws. E shock you abi?

One thing they have not thought of is that the Bonny indigenes that claimed Igbo ancestry, never claimed to be Ijaws.

To make matters worse for them, the Ijaw revisionists will also have to create an extra fake Ijaw identity for the Ngwa people.

When the time comes, the few Ndoki elders that sold their individual heritage to the Ijaws for a few pieces of silver, will be rightly ostracized, with their descendants made OSUs as a lesson to these hungry Igbos that willfully betray the Igbo cause.

Ijaws go explain tire grin grin grin grin grin

We look forward to the Ngwa fake tales by Ijaws to make their 419 claims complete.

For the Igbos, every book written by neutral observers from 1900 downwards, made it clear that Igbos own UBANI. That is one fact Ijaw landgrabbers will never be able to wriggle out of.
Loads of trash. Ndoki sold their heritage, betrayed you, ikwerre betrayed you too, everybody betray una and you don't think something is wrong with you?

An Ikwerre son is fighting to become the next Ohanaeze PG. When that happens, a lot will be clawed back, and there is nothing you will be able to do about it.

Thank God 99% of Ndoki people still know they are Igbos

Igbos were the kings and middlemen of Bonny.

Igbos also make up a vast majority of the slaves in Bonny, which also includes Ijaw slaves.

This snippets confirm the Igbo origins of Bonny and the rulers of Bonny.

Any concocted evidence that was put together after 1900 is not admissible.

Hausas pronounce Enugu and ANUGU. That doesn't mean Hausas own Enugu.

So that Kalabaris pronounced UBANI as IBANI, does not mean Kalabaris own UBANI/Bonny.

I hope you got the top part of that snippet that clearly stated verbatim that "The Bonny people claim an Igbo descent"

The keywords there being BONNY PEOPLE. Not Igbo people, or Kalabari people. It clearly tells the reader that the BONNY PEOPLE THEMSELVES claim Igbo ancestry. This clears all doubt and destroys any latter day revisionist wriggling.

Ohaneze is literally begging ikwerre to come identify with ibo, the height of inferiority complex is throwing the highest position to people that have no regard for you. But what do you expect, an ikwerre man would be interested in being president of ibo apex body, chop and clean mouth, then ikwerre will even insult you ontop of it, lol. If Ohanaze throw it open to igala, they will come and chop as well, who no like awoof?.

What about Ijaws that have been grovelling and bribing Ndoki people to see themselves as Ijaws. Oh you think we don't know.
The whole fake Ijaw history of Ndoki will be dismantled soon.

Bonny people of yore, made it clear they're of Igbo descent. Deal with it

Both Pepple and Manilla are not Ijaw words. Okpara Ndoli who was one of the first two kings of Bonny clearly bore Igbo name.

According to both Captain Crow and Dr. Baikie, Pepple is a corruption of the word Pepper, which an ancient king of Bonny traded with Europeans. It is not an Ijaw word. This is yet another Ijaw attempt to corner English words as Ijaw words. So you have graduated from landgrabbing to wordgrabbing.

Lol, what brings hausa into this irrevant analogy?. can an hausa man mispronounce the name of his land?, if hausa mispronounced Enugu, it is understandable because he is a stranger to the land likewise ibos are strangers to Bonny and why they mispronounced it as Obane.

They are just a stupid tribe trying so hard to landgrab other people's land because they know a landlocked biafra will just be another Lesotho.

What brought Kalabari to the Bonny topic? Are Kalabari people the original settlers in Bonny? Why then did you bring the Kalabari angle to a topic that had to do with Bonny people and their ancestry.

By the way, UBANI means Richness of Land, but IBANI does not mean anything in any Ijoid language, which points to the fact that IBANI is just how some Ijoid people pronounce UBANI

Igbos of Bonny had more interaction with Europeans than most Ijaws. That's why Igbos of Bonny were very much influenced by European fashion than Igbos in the hinterland.

What matters is the language spoken by Bonny people, and more importantly, who Bonny people say they are.
Bonny people clearly told Dr. Baikie that they were of Igbo descent. Full stop.

Igbos that reside in the Niger delta coast also bore English names and their fashion was influenced by those of the English.

Names like Pepple are a case in point, as he was an Igbo man who adopted a name that had English roots. That doesn't make him Ijaw.

If you travel to Ubani or Opobo, a lot of the Igbo families there bear English names, because of their association with the English 100s of years ago.
