Igbo Fraud Permanently Put To Rest. Bonny (ibani) Language Compared With Igbo by amInigerian: 1:40am On May 17, 2016
[size=13pt]Due to the lies told by the south easterners that the indigenous people of Bonny are Igbos, I have taken it upon myself to permanetly expose their fraudulence here by spitting out here a plethora of Ibani nouns and sentences with their English meanings, challenging any Igbo claiming that the Bonny people who bought them as slaves and sold them to the white man became Igbo people by giving some of them their freedom, instead of the other way round which is that the slaves that were brought into bonny and granted their freedom through prescribed ceremonies by the Bonny kingdom, ended up becoming Bonny people.

Oya. How do they say "Come and eat" in Igbo.?

In Ibani it is "Bo ye fi"

Please other Ijaw people, let us hear how you say come and eat in your own language.

Luckily, many non-Igbos know the Igbo equivalent of the sentences I will put up here so I see no place to hide.

To the frustrated amInigerian and his greedy gang of people and land grabbers:

The song that a person hears before becoming deaf is still the song he will sing to the grave...


The Opobo/Nkoro people are mainly farmers and fishermen. They are of Igbo extraction. They speak Igbo language mixed with pidgin and Igbani. Just like the neighbouring Bonny, founded by Ndokis of Azuogu, slaves from the hinterlan 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.

You would think the Jajas don't know your agenda by now.
http://news.biafranigeriaworld.com/archive/2003/jun/11/004.html
Opobo is not a traditional town as we know it. It is a Settlement founded by King Jaja, and remains his estate and that of his descendants."


That notwithstanding every Eastern group is entitled to freedom of association and so can choose to go with the OduaArewanistan republic. It's their inalienable right.

amInigerian, leave Igbos out of your miseries and face OduaArewanistan republic where you're most needed as loyal, slavish subjects.

Copied:

An opobo Man posted this when asked why opobo speaks igbo

Opobo is igboland founded by an igbo man , yes! Part of the grand design to severe the Igbo ties is not unconnected with the long kingship tussle that greeted Opobo at the demise of her last Amanyanabo.

As we all know, there was a gang up by some chieftaincy houses of Ijaw origins in Opobo to unseat the Jajas. But after 30 years of legal battle, the Nigerian Supreme Court, on the 23rd of April, 2003, ruled that “Opobo is not a traditional town as we know it. It is a Settlement founded by King Jaja, and remains his estate and that of his descendants” Led by the legal giant, the late Chief G.C.M Onyiuke (SAN), the Jajas' authority over Opobo was permanently signed and sealed.

It was after the landmark ruling that the family established a foundation in honor of their patriach and quickly appointed Anyim Pius Anyim, the then Senate President, as the life Chairman. Thus, the success or otherwise of de-tonguing Opobo - from Igbo to Ijoid Ibani - will largely depend on the acceptance of the Jaja dynasty.

Opobo was founded on Igbo language. And King Dandeson Douglas Jaja, the man I saw at Peter Obi’s farewell gathering at Awka, does not appear like someone who would play with history and tradition.
Opobo is one settlement that will be difficult for revisionists to undo as all documents signed by King Jaja himself on behalf of his estate were well secured. And which helped the surviving off-springs reclaim their father’s settlement in the Supreme . Therefore, it is only the Jaja family that can determine the cultural identity of Opobo.

In August 2014, at the Elekahia Stadium, Port Harcourt, Hon. Dakuku Peterside representing Opobo told the “unification” gathering of Ohaneze Ndigbo that “I’m a full blooded Igboman….My town, Opobo, was founded by an Igbo, the mighty King Jaja...”

Let me repeat this again:
Igbos are not interested in sharing a country with unrepentant, greedy land-and-people grabbers who have only survived by being stooges and weak-minded fellows.

You and your co-conspirators are ever free to merge with any ethnic group of your choice. Leave Igbos out of your miseries and face OduaArewanistan republic where you're most needed as loyal, slavish subjects.

Culled:

On October 2nd, 2014 edition of Pointblanknews Magazine, Alhaji Aliyu Gwarzo, a prominent Fulani leader from Kano, said the following words
when I say that the presidency must come to the North next year, I am referring to the Hausa-Fulani core North and not any Northern Christian or Muslim minority tribe.  The Christians in the North, such as the Berom, the Tiv, the Kataf, the Jaba, the Zuru, the Sayyawa, the Bachama, the Jukun, the Idoma and all the others are nothing and the muslim minorities in the North, including the Kanuri, the Nupe, the Igbira, the Babur, the Shuwa Arabs, the Marghur and all the others know that when we are talking about leadership in the North and in Nigeria, Allah has given it to us, the Hausa-Fulani.  They can grumble, moan and groan as much as they want but each time they go into their bedrooms to meet their wives and each time they get on their prayer mats to begin their prayers, it is we the Fulani that they think of, that they fear, that they bow to and that they pray for.
Some of them are even ready to give us their wives and daughters for one night’s sport and pleasure. They owe us everything. This is because we gave them Islam through the great Jihad waged by our father, the great Usuman Dan Fodio.

We also captured Ilorin, killed their local King and installed our Fulani Emir. We took that ancient town away from the barbarian Yoruba and their filthy pagan gods. We liberated all these places and all these people by imposing Islam on them by force. It was either the Koran or the sword, and most of them chose the Koran. In return for the good works of our forefathers, Allah, through the British, gave us Nigeria to rule and to do with as we please. Since 1960 we have been doing that and we intend to continue. 
No Goodluck or anyone else will stop us from taking back our power next year. We will kill, maim, destroy and turn this country into Africa’s biggest war zone and refugee camp if they try it.

Many say we are behind Boko Haram. My answer is what do you expect? We do not have economic power or intellectual power. All we have is political power and they want to take even that from us.
We must fight and we will fight back in order to keep it. They have brought in the infidels from America and the pigs from Israel to help them but they will fail. The war has just begun, the Mujahedeen are more than ready and by Allah we shall win.
If they don’t want an ISIS in Nigeria then they must give us back the presidency and our political power. Their soldiers are killing our warriors and our people every day but mark this: even if it takes one hundred years, we will have our revenge.

Every Fulani man that they kill is a debt that will be repaid, even if it takes 100 years. The Fulani have very long memories”. 

President Muhammadu Buhari himself in 2013 when he said that if what happened in 2011 during the presidential elections happens again in 2015 and he ends up losing to President Goodluck Jonathan, who happens to be a southern christian, “the dog and the baboon will both be soaked in blood”. 

Another Elder statesman of the North, Alhaji Lawal Kaita, said, before the presidential election in 2011, that “power must return to the North otherwise we (meaning northerners) would make the country ungovernable”. Jonathan went ahead to win the election and Lawal Kaita and co. went ahead to honour their word: from 2011 till 2015, making the country ungovernable they certainly did. 

These are shocking and deeply troubling utterances from these Fulani leaders and the implications of their threat-filled words are self-evident. They need no further analysis or explanation here.
They are using the Fulani herdsmen as a standing army. They are highly protected by the government in power

During slave trading, Igboland supplied slaves to almost all ethnicities far and near. Opobo, Bonny, Okrika, Kalabari, Ikwerre etc.

The slaves who weren't traded further gradually integrated themselves into their new society by basically learning language, customs and norms.

In the the case of bonny and opobo, after the "prescribed ceremonies", the slaves supplanted Ibani with Igbo. A first time visitor to bonny or opobo will be shocked at how Igbo is spoken as first language.

If you have to correct the "anomaly" and revert back to your language, you will need to do more than asking what "bo ye fi" means. what next? Maybe you should adopt the entire Kalabari language.

my dear watch the difference, it mustn't be pronounce the same way for it to be a dialect of a langauge.

what makes a langauge a dialect is that when it is mutually intelligible with the main langauge.

for instance, someone from Bonny doesnt need an interpreter to communicate with an orlu man and vice verse.
