Yea, I'm aware. Some places also say bia kaa. Ikwerre would say bia paa.

However, the main point now is strengthening our ties between the homeland and those in Bioko. How can we go about it?

my side too, come here is bia kaa

Igbos are indeed a great tribe
op why you dey mention ishilove for here, wetin she Know?

unfortunately we cannot forget the igbos in Nigeria, if only it was possible!

Praktikals:

MTN: Best connection,everywhere you go
Igbos: Minorities everywhere you go

You need help if your brain constantly tells you that everything should be about tribalism and ethnicism. Are you an adult at all??

Probz:


That’s right Frankie. God knows if it’s still an official Igbo lect or if it’s to us now what Igala is to Yoruba (after centuries of isolation). Even in Nigeria certain dialects have more proto-Igbo features than others.

F*ck knows if Abakaliki’s more proto-Igbo. Their language genuinely sounds like Somali to me.

so what are you saying

Praktikals:

MTN: Best connection,everywhere you go
Igbos: Minorities everywhere you go

Be Sensible....

And if u are still a Child, go and help Mummy in the Kitchen.

You can imagine them opening a thread to gloat over a 33,500 settlers. Lol

kiss the truth!

I I’m from Bioko Island originally but grow up in Spain. I know my people history good and is true that Igbo people live in Bioko but they’re not the first habitan of the island. Bioko first know as Etula Eria is the land of my ancestors the Bööbe tribe know this days as The Bubi people. During the slave trade This Portugal people used our land as a port to introduce a lot of slave from different places to take them to the new world.

Many of this slave they return back to Africa in the period of the abolistion. Wen the Spanish take the island as well bring a lot of slave from Cuba, Enmancipados,Calabar , Sierra Leona, etc krios. So my family is Rio from Sierra Leona mixed with the truly people of Bioko The Bubi people. My mother is from Sierra Leone and my dad y Bubi. I know my Culture very well. The Spanish government it’s made a lot of crime with people that they take over and take them to Bioko and punnish them in the farms and treat them like slaves. The Fangs they’re from the continental island but now they all migrate to our land and force us to the exile. Please is important to understand that The Bubi tribe they’re kind people they loved they land. Thanks

According to wiki



334,463*0.07 = 23,412 Igbos in Bioko Island, circa (2015)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioko

Joshua project on its part says there are 36,000 Igbos in all Equatorial Guinea (Bioko plus the Mainland) in 2017, ranking fourth after Fang (545,000), Bubi/Fernandian (63,000), and Yoruba (72,000)

So what is the essence of this now,to start tribal fights here right

bigfrancis21:


There are other Nigerians (Yorubas, Igbos, Ibibios etc.) living in Equatorial Guinea who are not really considered indigenous per se, but recent immigrants. The Igbo being talked about in the article above are now considered indigenous/native, who migrated to Bioko (from Arochukwu) several decades ago, settled and married local wives (they were mostly men) and settled in Bioko. They are considered as a native ethnic group together with the Bubi and Fang on the Island of Bioko.

guess they migrated during the civil war. I pray they did not carry the drug peddling, rituals, cultism and prostitution in their DNA when they migrated? Just asking

Wow

This is factual,
During my days in secondary school, when we wrote waec,

Some students from equatorial Guinea came to our school and wrote the waec exams with us,

Luckily, one of my buddies, obiechina, who had stayed in the country in the past, and fluent in Spanish, corroborated this, as a statement of fact, that truly, there were minority Igbos over there,

The students were homely, friendly and smart,few were good with Spanish and English, but obiechina had it good With them interacting in Spanish.

bigfrancis21:
As regards the language, Igbo is a recognized official language in Equatorial Guinea and it has been confirmed that the people still speak the Igbo language which has some form of deviation from the modern Igbo spoken in Nigeria. Some people who have seen them say they say, 'bia ikaa' for 'come here'. Anybody who has been in contact with these people as regards the language?

Finally I think that Igbos of Nigeria do need to reach out to our people in Bioko to re-strengthen our ties and the language.

Really?

i believe i will have a half brother or sister because, my dad was there too before coming back to Nigeria.

Aro-oke-igbo

Why are some Tinubu miscreants trying to derail this wonderful thread. Must you guys always bring tribalism into everything? You lots always instigate hatred. It's pathetic

I heard some igbos migrated to Gabon during the civil war too.
Is it true Omar Bongo is igbo.?

Omar ondimba bongo was was 32 years old wen the biafra war kicked off so he couldn't have been adopted. It's his Adopted son Ali Ondimba bongo that was said to have been adopted.

bigfrancis21:


The rumors about his Igbo origins are quite strong. It is often said that thousands of Igbo kids were adopted and flown out of Nigeria during the Biafran war and majority of them never came back. Here is what this person had to say about him:



https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/08/for-being-born-in-nigeria-bongo-may/

His middle name, ondimba, may have an Igbo meaning if it is truly Igbo, who knows.

It's Ali bongo.

It's a sign of an illness called Afonjanism.

another WASTEd adidas-faced suffersticated conehead
from a region proficient for rituals, incest, fettishness, marital prostitution etc

Funny when a child from SKULLandia kingdom accuses another of ritual.

why not worry instead about retaining your oblong head on your body when next you visit your slums in obomoso and Ogun state?

Better a drug dealer than a human parts dealer

I don't think he is Igbo. Which of the Bongo's are we talking about? The elder Bongo is not Igbo because he was already president during the civil war and was born in 1935.
The younger Bongo and now president was born in 1967 I think. He doesn't have the middle name Ondimba. That was his father.

Do you know yoruba is also recognized as official language in other African countries ..so it is not a competition sis
