So Igbos are also responsible for your poverty in life? This is like the 1000th time you have accused the Igbos of the failure of the Ijaw people yet again with no proof! Aren't you getting tired of your ridiculously stupid narratives already?

To start with, you Igbos blame Yoruba and Fulani for the losses of Ijaw people and they keep saying Biafra was Ijaw people's solution. What I have done is point how Igbos caused Nigeria's problems and the problems the Ijaws face today.

Until Igbos tried to steal Ijaw oil wealth, neither the Fulani or Yoruba were interested in Ijaw oil wealth.

You Igbos are the ones who turned a turn a topic on Ijaw war experience to a topic on poverty.

You were boasting on how you Igbos are commercial sex workers in Rivers state, doesn't that tell you that tell you that they are even better placed than you Igbo in financial terms?

What brand of local gin are you drinking?

So the oil wealth from your region been used to develop Abuja and Lagos and other major cities in the North are due to Igbos again abi (let me add that one to your list of growing accusations) .
How many oil wells are in barren Ijawland? Ijaw has no oil, otherwise we won't see your people all over the place trying to settle in other people's land. You tried that nonsense with Edo people and they put you in your place, same with the Ilaje's in Ondo... you people are barren fulani herdsmen of the South, with your swampy village Bayelsa as your only prized possession.

Which Ijaw oil wealth? How many oil wells do Ijaw have? Is it the dried up Oiloibiri and a few others in Bayelsa? The oil you brag about what impact has it made in your lives.

Can you compare your land to Igboland? Continue smiling and suffering. Igbo don't drink oyel, we feed on good food and we still keep the gas in our backyard intact. The only job available for countless Ijaw youths is militancy and kidnapping.

I formed a topic on the Bakana account of the civil war. Now you are asking me where Ijaw people's oil wealth is. When Ojukwu sent Francis Nwoekedi to France to sell oil? Was it oil in Abakiliki, Nsukka, Akwa, Umuahia, Owerri or Aba he went to sell?

Through the same smelling mouths you claim Fulani are stealing Ijaw oil wealth, you still claim Ijaw people don't have oil. When they did python dance Igboland why didn't it affect oil price or production?

If any land is barren it is not Ijawland. From a historical context, Igbos, especially Ironsi centralized resources and power. By your decision to go to war you lost the centre. Due to your oppressive actions, part the eastern region voted to join Cameroon in order to prevent further secession you prevented other areas from being able to vote. A greater proportion of what Nigeria calls law today, was adopted from Azikiwe and Ironsi's lawbooks. We are not benefiting as much as the defunct Igbo led eastern region benefited from our oil wealth because of your lies and attitude.
We are suffering from an attempt by the centre to starve Igbos of funds to execute another war and you liars keep lying that the Niger Deltans are Igbos. Based on your propaganda, in a bid to control the excesses of the Igbo, the Niger Delta is suffering.

PHijo:

You are deeply ignorant the Ijaw laugh when you talk about Arochuwku. Slavery is deeply entrenched in your DNA that is why you can boast of being slaves and a major source of humans that were sold as slaves. This is why even though slavery is outlawed you have chosen to create a slave industry through your baby factories. Some people were stolen from their homes or were prisoners of wars. Ndi- Igbo saw the trade in humans as a ticket out of poverty. And rewarded superbreeders who could birth a minimum of 15 potential slaves with a Goat head.
Despite the existing laws your continue kidnapping teenagers to be breeders in your baby farms. You shouldn't pride yourself in such despicable acts.

Nobody is bragging about slavery. It was a sad time in history.

Those were in the olden days where the most efficient way to deal with undesirables in Igbo society e.g (prisoners of war, criminals, witches, kidnappers) was to be shipped out entirely from the country.

Like it always has been in history, many people profited on it.

You riverines should be glad anyway, the slave trade managed to transform your once swampy hamlets to established towns.
If not for it, igbo merchants would not have bothered to leave their wealthy towns and green, arable lands for the marshes down south where mosquitoes tormented the population and you could accidentally drown a few paces from your house.

Many of those igbo undesirables when freed ended up making a major chunk of your elite class anyways.

Why is it that during the slave trade the richest parts of the Americas were the swampy areas? Slavery was an unfortunate event but it did not occur only in the coastal areas of Americas. Arabic kingdoms and Othoman empire participated in slavery but it did not translate to the same wealth as in coastal areas.
The Igbos NEVER participated in any of the transatlantic trades. A few got involved in limited trade activities due to British rule in their areas. That is why all forms of trade that existed that era ended. The Igbo the experience, the networks, institutions and structures to participate in any form of trade.
The Europeans, unable to break the monopoly of coastal kingdoms of the Niger Delta, pressed into the Igbo hinterland , only to discover the Igbo had NOTHING to do with the trade. Having circumvented their trading partners, the Europeans were left with no option than to leave the very trade that had taken them to what is presently called Nigeria.

Today the Fulani may be viewed as feudal, brute, savages but as of that time they were 100s of years ahead of the Igbo.

You Igbo always downplay others but when people go through the demographics or history of the continent you are no where to be found.

There was no Igbo that was freed, the Ijaw had two classes of people they bought from the Igbos. The Igbos sold children as well as adults. While the adults were sold into slavery, the preteens were groomed and integrated into the society. So there was no Haitian styled Igbo slave rebellion anywhere in the Niger Delta .

The undesirable in your community were the OSU and it was generational so don't come with that crap!

Your problem was that you lacked skills for planned birth and you were too poor to cater for the large families you had . For financial gains Igbos were sold by their families and neighbours.

We will keep bringing in the Niger delta into our issues, afterall millions of Igbo-speaking people are Niger deltans. You can blame Gowon for that.
When he was placing Ndoni lands, Ndoki lands, Etche lands e.t.c in the Niger Delta, he was sowing the seeds of Igbos still having a huge interest in the Niger delta.
You have been reading from our sisters NwanyiOgwashi and Amarabae, and haven't you realised that their affinities and passions lie with their siblings in the SE. And you think any force on earth can get their brothers and sisters in the SE not to see them as fellow Igbos?

For as long as Igbo-speaking people still remain in the SS, who btw are probably the largest ethnic unit in the political Niger Delta, Igbos in the SE will keep an eye on what goes on in the Niger Delta. When you put together the Aniomas, Etches, Ikwerres, Ndokis, Ndonis, Egbemas, e.t.c. you have a sizeable population of Igbo-speaking people, and you cannot expect the SE not to take notice.

I'm sure by now you may have been aware of how Ikwerres connived with SE Igbos (Zik, Ebitu Ukiwe and others) to create the modern Rivers state, which is why Igbo-speaking people have had the chance of smelling the government house in that state. It's all a part of what we are talking about.

Just to reiterate what I wrote some days ago, the Ndoki land of Ubani (Bonny) will never be Igbani-owned. Wikipedia will not help you in the day of reckoning

Weldone sir! Those Igbo have been using you lot to play politics in Nigeria, and it has to stop. Many Nigerians outside the south south and SE think everyone in these regions are Igbo. You have to be more vocal, so you can educate us. Thank you.

As a neutral observer who doesn't belong to either side and who has read about many parts of this Country, I strongly think that;

1) King Jaja was born as an Igbo child, then sold into slavery.
He redeemed himself and gained the confidence of the household of his master and adopted Ijaw indentity.
He died as an Ijaw man.

2) Most Riverean communities from Bonny Island to Lagos to Badagry are NOT 100% homogeneous and always absorbed people from the surrounding areas, especially those who escaped the horror of slavery after the Slave Trade was abolished.

PHijo:


I laugh at your ignorance!
Jumbo jumbogha otherwise known as Jaja is an Ibani Ijaw just like anyone else. Oyigbo you erroneously refer to as Obigbo is Ijaw. In fact, if you are conversant with history you would know that the Ibani and Okrika clans of the Ijaw nation are deeply intertwined that the Ndoki cannot be separated from the Ibani or Okrika Okrika Ijaw. You are confused by what it means to be Ibani, Okrika, Ndoki or Oyigbo.

We Ijaws are not about to teach you revisionist Igbos our history.

The rubbish you are talking is like telling a Jew he is no Jewish because he is European or North American. Like I told you before, claim America, Brazil , Colombia or Mexico where you sold your kinfolk to. Supreme court ruling or not, Jumbo jumbogha left Bonny island for Opobo as an Ibani Ijaw. He died an Ijaw man. There is no evidence that Jaja had ever been an Igbo man. Every record of Jumbo jumbogha was in Ijawland and of him being Ijaw. Anybody can claim to come from any part of Nigeria, we know how many Igbos claim to be Saro-Wiwa 's father's sister's brother just to be given stay in foreign countries so we don't care about your union chairman. For all we care, no indigenous Oyigbo or Ndoki person would claim to be Igbo.

DO U KNOW WHY OGONI WERE BROUGHT TO THE BIGHT OF BIAFRA IN THE 15TH CENTURY?

Your mission of remaining slave in one Nigeria through Abokkis’ divide and rule and conquer and exploit policy has worked here, if you are Ijaw and represent the opinion of majority of Ijaw people.

@PHijo,



See real Ijaw man who has sense speaking.

Divided and ruled, you want both Igbo and Ijaw to remain subsets and fcucked in dysfunctional Nigeria.





My name is Engr. Keribo Minakobiribo

I'm from Buguma in Tom-George compound but I grew up in Tombia Kingdom. The essence of disclosing my identity is to prove to Mr Asari Dokubo of Buguma, and Mrs Annikio Briggs of Abonnema, that I also, am a son of ijaw land. Once, I was tender but like the saying goes that "the young shall grow ", I must speak and defend my region in its true identity as given by the Opu Tamuno in heaven and not the ways of the British foreigners and the invading Fulanis.

My respected brother and sister of Ijaw nation, it appears to me that you and others like you want to continue to keep us in the WILL of the strangers of our land that our ancestors knew nothing about. Mr Asari Dokubo once postulated that Ijaw are more Biafran than others in the Biafran enclave, and we believed him.

Madame Annikio agreed with him because during the days of his agitation for the Biafra National Council, you never came up to refute him in that regard. You never agreed that Abonnema that is in Ijaw is more of Niger Delta than Biafra but one thing led to another and Mr Asari is on his own out of the scene.

Then Nnamdi Kanu came barely some days ago to enlighten humanity with many historical facts and figures why we are more Biafra than Niger Delta then you came up with your refutals and criticisms capable of causing confusion among the young generation of Ijaw that Abonnema is not Biafra.

Madam, I, Engr Keribo totally disagree with you, and insist that Ijaw is Biafra and not Niger Delta. In like manner, Abonnema is Biafra, and not Niger Delta. Recall that the Bight of Biafra has been in existence all the way since 1525 to the middle of the 18th century when Bonny emerged as the leading slave trading port in the Bight of Biafra, thus out-pacing the earlier dominant slave ports of Elem Kalabari also known as New calabar. In 1881 Bakana was founded, 1882 Abonnema was founded, 1884 Buguma was founded, and Tombia was founded in 1885 at its present settlement. The Okirikas were existing since the 17th century.

I mentioned but just few, and according to history, the king of Britain in 1875 (even far into 1914 amalgamation of the North and South) sent his representative as a Consul and the Kings and Chiefs signed an agreement and we were then known as Biafra. So, how come today that we don't bear our ancestral identity again, rather, that which the same Britain foisted on us having seen the potency of our unity with our Igbo brothers? They gave us that insulting name Niger Delta. Not only that they also taught the Fulani how sustain the injury and the evil divide -and -rule strategy. In May 27, 1965, Rivers State was created to cause division among us. They called us Port Harcourt ( the name of a man who was a sexual pervert). As if that were not enough, they added Niger Delta garbage. What an insult to the memory of our great ancestors!

I might be a small boy in your sight but as long as breath runs in my nostrils I will not allow myself to be labeled by the same foreigners that hate me. I am an ijaw and I am a Biafran that God the creator made my ancestors to be which they passed unto me.

I don't know when the conference took place but it is the deliberate effort of Mr Willink of Britain to divide and weaken the potency of our unity with our Igbo brothers who share same cultural heritage with us. Madam, Annikio, do you tie two pieces of wrapper on most important cultural or traditional outings? If yes, so are the igbo and the rest of them in the Biafra enclave. So how come you are saying we are not one people?

Fulani are occupying our territories in our fishing ponds and riverine areas and in our mangrove swamps with strategies to fulfil the ancient agenda of 'dipping the Koran in the Atlantic Ocean' to facilitate the final conquest, and you didn't say anything in that regard rather, you easily come on social media to refute and make nonsense of all the verifiable geographical and historical facts and figures that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu makes to shame our oppressors. Madam, your elders are doing this generation great disservice by obstructing historical evidence of who we are as a people. Madam Briggs, we are both from Ijaw despite that I'm from Buguma but if I come to your compound today in Abonnema and say that you are no more Annikio Briggs but 'Aisha', how will you feel? Won't you do something to change the imposed name 'Aisha', and revert to your proper identity?

Well, despite whatever your reaction may be, as for me, I am a Biafran. Whether Tombia or Buguma, we are older than that garbage - Niger Delta - given to us by our enemies. Madam, in what has happened so far with the Ogoni Clean -Up project , will you say that justice has been done to the memory of Major Adaka Boro, and the Ogoni 9? What about the underdevelopment being witnessed even right in the heart of Abonnema while the Fulani are in far away North sucking our oil to better their lots?

Gov. Nyesom Wike is today battling alone with the Fulani that are coming in their droves to take over our land , what have you said or done so far to show solidarity with him? I found nothing concrete of your efforts in that regard not even on your facebook wall but you easily find it pleasurable to attack Nnamdi Kanu.

Madam, with all due respect to your personality, it is too bad that you could allow this hypocrisy to continue to exist till this day. Madam, may I remind you that Mr Frank Opigo who was once a Principal in Okirika Grammar School, is from Bayelsa State. Before the Ahiara declaration of Biafra, the Old Eastern Consultative Assembly members came together to meet over the name the new republic would bear, then Mr Frank Opigo reminded Gen. Ojukwu that "we are all Biafrans", and that was how they adopted that name again. Now if you accept Bayelsa where Mr Frank came from as Ijaw then why is Abonnema of Rivers State not Biafra? Meanwhile Bayelsa was carved out from Rivers State just few years ago.

Madam, the ancestors of Bakana Buguma and Abonnema once settled in one location in the 17-18th century before they separated for their present settlements. So, are you saying now that Mr Asari Dokubo was wrong when he said "Ijaw is more Biafra than any other tribes?" Moreover, madam, what is absolutely wrong if we fight together and Ijaw become a confederated region in Biafra nation? Isn't that safer for our region than living with the oppressors in Nigeria ? Tamuno bless Ijaw, Tamuno bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Tamuno bless Biafra.

Firstly just know that Ijawland starts and ends in Balyesa state, before una carry your fishermen wayo ways to start claiming territory in Rivers state, try that nonsense and the Odi experience will be child's play. Secondly in your land grabbing schemes in any part of Rivers or Delta states, make SURE you steer clear of ANY Igbo speaking territories (I see your long throat don dey reach Obigbo), but thank God your shenanigan and agenda ends here on the internet, the day any Ijaw irritant groups step foot in Obigbo to make trouble, we will revisit the Bakana experience on your people again.

Good luck to you.

When you devote your time and energy to single out a particular region for bashing and demonizing her people even in matters that doesn't involve them, do you for once sit down and think about it's implications?

Will demonizing the S/west and Hausa-Fulanis in the agitations for the creation of Biafra lead to creation of Biafra?

What do you think will the the responses of these people to your agitations? Are they likely to become convinced and embrace you with hugs or they will return hatred for your hatred?

Can you win against the majority populations in Nigieria? the

SW almajiris are SHADOWY people. History has already established that.

When someone that is supposed to be my brother, goes partnering with known shadowy people to put down my people, that supposed brother looses the privileges of a brother. Didn't you see the unsubstantiated video the OP posted to start with? Which is obviously an attempt to undermine Ndigbo. As a hardcore Igboman, I am duty-bound to defend my people, in the face of any unfair onslaught against my people

Because of the above, I have no apologies to issue to anybody.
