Ofcourse I know but igbo is the major language there.

Bonny and Opobo are mixed just like warri that has isoko, ijaw, urhobo, itshekiri.
But the Ijaws are trying their best to ijawnize the whole place and don't want to recognize the igbo descendants and wanting them to claim that they are not igbos and even organizing ijaw language competitions to try and see if they can diminish the majority igbos.
And phijo is bragging that the igbos there have rejected us.

Ijaw is not the majority in warri but always fight to have a share of the space while at the same time trying to deny the majority igbos in opobo and bonny kingdoms

No, it is not! Not at all. Bonny and Opobo do not have a similar history to Warri. You distorting historical facts.

I didn't say Igbo in Bonny, Opobo or elsewhere rejected Igbos. I wouldn't say that because we don't have Igbos in those kingdoms.

100s of years ago Igbos sold Igbos to us. We sold some to the European traders. Some were integrated into our societies. As long as African Americans are American citizens and not Igbos so Ijawland has no Igbos.

Is igbo now an international language that people will be speaking it all over a strange place as their lingua franca

OK, for what purpose

The purpose was to ensure we got the commodities at the lowest possible price and to control our sphere of influence. Apart from Igbo our traders also learnt to speak Portuguese, Spanish, English Ogoni, Ibibio just to mention a few languages.

The language people call broken or pidgin today has its roots in the coastal commercial activities.

African Americans can't trace themselves back because they are overwhelmed by foreign people and they have forgotten their language. And also distance played a major role against them.

In this case you people are only transit point.
And have the same color and proximity and couldn't overwhelm them with your language instead they overwhelmed you with theirs.

So you can't compare yourselves with Americans

Which of the languages you claim they learnt has endured like the igbo.

Igbo language is outstanding there and it's overwhelming because of the large igbo indigenes there. So you can't deny them their igboness especially when they stayed put with the language

Do you think the slaves were fewer than the slave owners in the Americas? Use your head!

No slave overpowered anybody. In fact in the kingdom of one of the monarchs you claimed is an Igbo, speaking Igbo language was punishable by death.

If people from Igboland were kept in Ijawland it is because Ijaw families adopted them as adopted children.

Many Ijaws from the defunct eastern region learnt how to speak Igbo in school. It was part of the Igbo plan to take our homeland but God being faithful, he pushed them to take actions that made them lose their position in Nigeria.

They forced our fathers and mothers to learn ibo by making it compulsory in schools and even churches.

I remember back in the day when even in church they'll want to be interpreting what the pastor is saying in Ibo.

Thank God our people have wised up.

Non ibos all over the Niger Delta are wise now.

The punishable by death didn't achieve its aim because igbo is widely spoken there till tomorrow.
Its nice that they adopted them. It's their destiny to now be an indigene of such places but we shouldn't just because of present day hatred for the igbos deny them their origins.
Everybody has history of migration so it shouldn't be used against anybody. In the early formation of the world heavy migration played a very important role and even up till now the world is still shuffling and reshuffling itself

Igbo is part of the the WAZOBIA of Nigeria.
Nobody forced you.
Such subjects are optional

You either do one of igbo, Yoruba or Hausa.
I schooled in Lagos so I did Yoruba. It wasn't force. Stop lying

You could have chosen yoruba

Nobody hates the Igbos. They should respect their boundaries which happens to be their landlocked states and we won't have issues.

The fact that the Oba of Benin has Yoruba heritage and Origin doesn't make the Edo to be Yoruba

Do not try to impose Igbo Hegemony on them

They know best where they want to belong

The Oba of Benin has 0 yoruba heritage or origin.
The yoruba didn't exist until 1808. And in 1808 yoruba meant "people from oyo".
The name of the people of Benin empire is Edo !
The Oba of Benin's lineage goes way back.

Why have some of you dedicated your life to just spread lies online ?
You know all this, I have already told you several times and shown all the proof to you, but like the idiot you are, you just repeating your lies preying on gullible and intellectually deficient people.

The first written records of west africa (1400s) already mention Benin Kingdom and its king the Oba of Benin ! A direct ancestor of the current Oba of Benin !

The word Oba was copied from Benin by the yoruba.
