kel4soft:bro you re not a strong material, sorry to say this, I ve read your comments accordingly to your replied but you re not making sense at all. You need to be school well or calm down to convince us well like a scholars. You re so impatient and acting like an ijaw man. If truly you re an opobo then calm down and express yourself well. Most of your comments lack direction of taste So ride on and tell me how is opobo not founded by an igboman from amaigbo? I am listening to you. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

glassjar1:You can use all those smiley to make yourself feel better even as you die in pains but the truth remains that the moment you remember that we have our own identity and that people like me who's not an Ijaw man is willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with an Ijaw man to put to an end to your expansionist agenda, you'll always come back to your senses and reevaluate your lies and stop spreading further lies that will make you bite the dust again. You'll never get an inch from a width and breadth of any part of Niger Delta or South South or whatever freely by preying on our pride and cheap blackmail but under the barrels of the gun amidst sweat and blood.

kinibigdeal: Ikeja belongs to the Ijebus, Aworis and Eguns, all of which are independent ethnic groups with affliation to Yorubas who are found in Ondo, Osun,Ekiti, Oyo and Ogun( I call the four 0s and E) It's not Igboland, no Igbo had ever claimed it, instead it's Yorubas from four Os and E that are forcefully attaching themselves to Lagos, and are currently marginalizing the real ethnic groups of Lagos. 7 Likes |

pazienza: So we can then say that JAJA was fighting for his town, opobo, against his igbo brothers? why fight if he believed he was brothers to the igbos? Jaja renounced his igbo identity. He never changed his ijaw name even when he had the chance. |

willow0802: Ijaws who came in as porters also settled there and the Igbo language was adopted. Igbo parlance, It is said that someone's neighbour could be more of a brother. The saying is hinged on the fact that the proximity associated with neighbourliness promotes mutual understanding and empathy. The Ijaw and her neighbours, including the Igbo, have known one another for thousands of years pre-dating the famous Hausa- Fulani relationship. The pre-Nigerian history of the Ijaw and the Igbo in particular, was indeed a peaceful one, filled with significant legacies. One of them was the formidable rise of an Igbo slave boy, who later became one of the most respected African kings. King Jaja as he was known, was equally revered during his reign by the British Royal House of Windsor. He was shrewd in business, as well as savvy in politics. The slave boy from Amaigbo, in the present Imo state, later founded Opobo Kingdom and established the Jaja dynasty that runs till date. The history of the Ijaw and the Igbo in respect of the origins of Opobo and Bonny (Umu-Ubani), vis avis the intermingling of the two peoples, have actually produced a hybrid race. The two communities today are bi-lingual. The Igbo dialect of Opobo known as "Igbani", was favourably chosen as one of the Igbo dialects by the colonial Bible translation committee. This was In total exclusion of Nri/Awka and Onitsha dialects for that matter. It could rightly be said that the Igbo version of the Holy Bible is a testimony of the real Igboworld. It is not uncommon to hear Igbo family names such as 'Ubani', referring to the town of Bonny. But the post civil war politics has twisted Bonny and Opobo, and made them sound far distant lands from the rest of the Igbo. opobo is ijaw they only adopted Igbo for communication, culture similar not same sir. 1 Like 2 Shares |

naijapips02: Lol! Opobo is Jaja and Jaja descendants private estate. The case is already decided by the Nigerian supreme court. Ijaw in Opobo are customary tenants to the Jajas. Jaja used Ijaw willing tools to secure his Opobo estate from other Ambitious fellow Igbos found in Ndoki and Ngwa. Jaja is a brand, a winning brand that mbanaso nurtured through years of suffering rising through the ranks in a foreign Ijaw country. Every of his business associate has come to know him by that name by the time he became successful, the name also helped him to keep his Ijaw subordinates under his control, as through the name, they came to see him as one of their own and also paid him devotion and sacrifice, two things he milked to the end to his success. Jaja was a thorough breed Igbo man that didn't deal with sentiments, once it comes to business, all that matters to the Igbo brain is profit maximization. The name Jaja was a brand that helped in Jajas business profit maximization, he was never going to change the name for sentimental reasons. 10 Likes |

willow0802:Tall dream my friend and dreams are just dreams, even mad men dream too. You'll lose and trust me , there is something you'll never understand about life as an igbo man - When you've got a plan it's better not to brag about it . Igbos brag too much and this is their downfall. In this situation that y'all feel that you find yourself , all you need is being discreet about it until it is all over but you talk like a prostitute high on steroid. 4 Likes 1 Share |

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nkoro Opobo–Nkoro (also spelled Opobo/Nkoro) is a Local Government Area in Rivers State, Nigeria. It is part of the Andoni/Opobo/nkoro constituency of the Nigerian National Assembly delegation from Rivers. The capital is Opobo Town.[1] The Opobo–Nkoro people are mainly farmers and fishermen.They are of Igbo extraction. They speak Igbo language. Just like the neighbouring Bonny, founded by Ndokis of Azuogu, slaves from the hinterland transformed the demography of the area when the Transatlantic Slave Trade was abolished. Ijaws who came in as porters also settled there and the Igbo language was adopted. Although, there are no indigenous Ijaw communities there, most Ijaw migrants and porters have fully been integrated into the original indigenous Igbo communities. Pro-Natura International Nigeria has been assisting in community-led development in the LGA. 7 Likes |
