OfoIgbo: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. |

Putindbutt: 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 1 Like |

Putindbutt:. 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. 1 Like

Putindbutt: 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. 1 Like |

OfoIgbo: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?. Nothing concern with ndoki, they are neigbours to bonny owned by ijaws. |

Putindbutt: 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 1 Like |

OfoIgbo:Ijaw slaves?, lol, who captured them?, ibos?. So ibo kings bought an ibo boy as a slave and named him jaja an ijaw name?, ibo are the kings and they called themselves the ruiling houses of Pepple and Manilla?, lol. Ibo are the kings in bonny and they are proud being a dynasty of Perekule?, Lol. this is the reality on ground. when you're done deceiving yourselves, una go dey alright. 2 Likes |
Re: Opobo, Bonny- Do Igbos Live On Water? by OfoIgbo: 4:39pm On May 18 |
Putindbutt: 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. 1 Like |

OfoIgbo: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. 1 Like |

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. Don't take the goats serious. 1 Like |

Putindbutt: 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 1 Like |

Putindbutt: 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. 2 Likes |

Putindbutt: 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. |

The people who sold their brothers and sisters to the ijaws as slaves are back to claim them... Baba, we already paid, these are ijaw indigenes now. Go find the OSUS and OHUS to claim |
