Dude, the people of Ibeno L.G.A in Akwa Ibom State aren't Ijaw. Cease peddling falsehood.

The Ibenos are even more 'Ibibiod' than the Esit Ekets.

I am an Akwa-Ibomite so be certain your comebacks are factual enough, not the random end result of editing by anyone who knows how to create a Wikipedia account.

nengibo:

No be only ibibiod, the person you are quoting is also an ibibio, ibeno & Obolo are the same people

nengibo:

Yea in the riverine part of the state, there are also Ijaws in ondo state(Arogbo & Apoi) its poor state creation that put them there, unless yorubas will say that the yorubas in the north are settlers too

rolly44:
Some time when pepeople speak u just get their hate mode from their tune, you recognise the ijaws as dwellers in your state as what? Strangers, if delta state was cut among beni obaseki would have called all urhobos and itsekiris as beni, the oba of beni is for beni people why will he extend his rule to other tribes, it is clear that obaseki is enviouse of the ijaws, if he knows the ancestra history of the ijaws he would have stay calm, any where the jaw occupied crude oil also occupied, the only local government that producess oil in edo is occupied by ijaw. check the record, in ondo, edo, bayelsa, rivers akwa ibom just check, it shows tha it is becaouse of the ijaw that we enjoy these blessings harming them is to harm your blessings, if ijaws leave nigeria today oil will dry off, it is thier glory everyone lives on

Afriifa:
Obaseki thinks, We are scared of the Edos. Oba should have it at the back of mind that he is not King over the Ijaws.. just imagine this Governor calling a Coronation attended by 5 Ijaw Kings from different state invalid because some selfish Oba made him to say so.. (agadagba)Pere of Gbaramatu(delta was there) Amayanabo of Nembe(bayelsa was there) amayanabo of Opobo(rivers was there) pere Gbebokedi of Tubu-turo Kingdom(ondo was there) and dis Governor thinks he can stand trouble when it looms? The Oba of Benin will make things heavier for Edo state.

diadem10:

There's nothing like Gbebokedi of TubuTuro in Ondo! What a liar!

Mccullum:



I debunk your assertion that Ijaws spread in Niger delta area because of war against them in Edo state during precolonial era, the fact is ijaws means of living is where ever there's rivers, they'll settled around the terrain due to their source of income is via water - such as fishing and making of salt etc. such group of people Can't settle in one place permanently except few amongst them who were farmers that settled permanently and that's the reason why Ijaws were minorities in different states and such status doesn't peculiar to them in Nigeria as Ilajes in Ondo and Eguns in Ogun State and Lagos respectively backed it that most of such similar ethnic groups lost majority status various state they settled because of their nature of work.

Afriifa:
fool!!!

diadem10:


Poor creation that had the Itsekiris between the Ijaw tenants in Ondo and Ijaws in Delta? Lol.

You lots will be given the Bakassi treatment soon. It's a matter of time.

nengibo:

Kogi, kwara are northern states and are hausa-fulani land wer yoruba settlers will be chased from

TSOM:

He certainly isn't, not in the true sense.

No real Ibibio or Akwaibomite who's well-versed in the histories and cultures of the people of Akwa Ibom would assert that Ibenos are Ijaws.

The Obolos are mixed and might arguably have an Ijaw connection (which isn't entire) but the Ibenos? Certainly not.

TonyeBarcanista:
That law is against law of nature and is NULL AND VOID!!!

There is no indigenous Yoruba or non Ijaw in Bayelsa. The indigenous Ijaws in Gelegele have decided and SO SHALL IT BE

Afriifa:
now I get your point, since Edo state is far from bayelsa, there is no way Ijaws could make claim of it.. but let me teach you, a bit. Ijaws are from Delta, Rivers, Ondo, Akwa-Ibom before you mention Bayelsa.. the Ijaws in Rivers alone are much more than the ones in Bayelsa State. the Ijaws in Delta can equally match the Bayelsa population and the Ijaws in Ondo(and Akwa-ibom) that I know of, can match the size of the entire Edo state if added with the ones from Edo state.. so now look at the table of goodwill.. all these places that Ijaws occupy has crude deposit and they are all within the Niger Delta.. there is coincidence in that Mr man. God makes no mistake.. so don't ever claim to own gelegele because you believed ijaws to be from bayelsa state, that's kind of ignoramus to my understanding.

GrandFinale2017:
Afonja shut ur trap.
The Ijaws are majority in this country and are sprea out in Akwa Ibom State, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo and Ondo and will combine together to wipe Bini away and the Yorubas will watch helplessly as how their cousins are consumed and wiped off to extinction.

henryhemon:

Thanks.

There are no Ijaw indigenous to Ondo state. Ijaw has no land treatise in Ondo, Benin nor Itsekiri land.

You're all tenants! Be ready for the Bakassi treatment!

GrandFinale2017:
ok. Evict them from their ancestral land and receive it hot from the Ijaw Nation

GrandFinale2017:
Ijaws make up two Local Government in Akwa Ibom state.
the people of Eastern Obolo Local Government and Ibeno Local in Akwa ibom state are Ijaws.
The both L.G.A shares boundary with the Atlantic Ocean and both are Oil Producing Communities.
My Mum is from there.
The Ibibio being the Majority tried to marginalize the Ijaw minorities in Akwa ibom state but they were met with a stiff resistance by the Ijaw Nation.

There aboriginal Ijaws in Edo State (Gelegele axis), Onfo State (Arogbo, Ilaje axis) Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom (Obolo-Ndpni axis).

Why won't Olodiama in Edo State have their own traditional ruler?

It is like saying because the Ikeerris are majority in Port Harcourt, the Abuloma or Okirika speaking people should be under the Eze Apara Rebisi.

The Gelegele or Olodiama people being Ijaws cannot be under the Oba of Benin. Oba of Benin should rule over Beni or Edo speaking people and let Ijaws have their own king.

The IYC is on the matter. They have sent a message to the Edo State goverment not to mess with the Olodiama community, and also congratulated the Pere of Olodiama who is recognised in the Ijaw traditional council.

The Edo State government dominated by Benin people do not have army or police. How do they want to face Ijaw people who control majority of Tue militants. Even the Federal Government is unable to win any war against Ijaw people. The best the government does is negotiate which necessitated the Niger Delta Amnesty. The Federal government had to succumb to the fact that the army cannot subdue the Ijaws and let Tompolo be.

ImagineTompolo, Ateke, Asari Dokubo sending IIjaw boys to take over Edo state, even the Oba of Benin will run from his palace.

One thing we have learnt is not to mess with Ijae Youth Council and militants. Benin people will not be able to stand Ijaws in any communal crisis. It should he avoided.

Peace is priceless. The Edo State government should pursue peace and do away with modern slavery. Let Ijaw people have their king. Why should Benin king rule over Ijaws. It is like the same thing happening in Ilorin where an Emir is ruling over Yoruba people or in the North where Fulani emirs rule over indigenous people.

Crisis loading in Edo state. They should dialogue and pursue peace.

diadem10:


Lol. News2020 never cease to amaze me. Lol.

Fiancee indeed. I guess you're no more an Efik from cross river..

GrandFinale2017:
u said there are no Ijaws in Ondo state and i proved u wrong cos my fiancee is an Ijaw from Akwa Ibom and You're jealous because the Ijaws will soon Usurp the Yorubas and Ijaws will become a majority tribe in Nigeria.

diadem10:


Lol. I said they are not indigenous to Ondo state. They are simply settlers and we gave them the name Arogbo sef.

However, you haven't answered how an Efik man from Cross river became an akwaibomite.

GrandFinale2017:
there are not settlers. Should i dig back to history to proof to u that it's their ancestral land?
And in ur last paragraph. I can't remember when i told u i'm Efik from Cross River state.
