I love everything about the Ijaws. They are so pretty. I think after the Igbos, the ijaws are the most beautiful in Nigeria. Long live the ijaw nation and the 5th largest ethnic group in Southern Nigeia.

yep! the Ibani Ijaws in rivers state but I cant deny the presence and influence of igbos @ opobo n Bonny. we are like a mix of both(ijaw+igbo) but we are still under de Ijaw ethnic nationality
Ijaw girl you're wrong, Bonny & Opobo is NOT a mixture of Ijaw & Igbo. The presence of few foreign people there does not qualify it to be regarded as "MIXED". Such minor mixtures exists in every ethnic group.

You should know that there are more Ijaws influences on Igbos & more Ijaws acculturated as Igbos within the bothers of the present Igboland, as a matter of fact, Igbos are made up of CONTRIBUTIONS from their neighbouring ethnic groups; Ibibio, Efik, Edo, Ijaw, Igala, Idoma, and there is even a yoruboid community with the Igbos of Delta state.

Opobo & Bonny are PURE IJAW communities & not a mixture. TAKE NOTE!

How foolish could you ever get?

Do you know how foolish you sound to say soneone is having TWO DIFFERENT BLOOD?

I just mentioned the tribes who contributed heavily to Igbo formation, thru' DIRCECT FOREIGN NON-IGBO ANCESTORS, & MASS MIGRATION OF FOREIGN ELEMENTS. Most of them started as Non-Igbo communities, Yet nobody calls Igboland mixed!

Opobo & Bonny that have been existing for centuries before the slave trade era as purely Ijaw areas is what you want to describe as mixed. How foolish!

But your foolishness is leading you to conclude here that Bonny & Opobo who acculturated FEW PERSONS (slaves according to Igbos) as SONS & DAUGHTERS of the respective Ijaw families to be MIXED.

And you expect me to fall for your cheap plot to present these towns as PARTIALLY IGBO just because it feeds your delusion & greed to annex & colonize that part of Ijawland into becoming Igbos in the near future just like you did to Ndoki, Oru-Igbo, Ikwerre, Ogba, Ekpeye, Ndoni, Ndokwa, Ika etc.

This is the 21th century & that plot would not work in Ijawland. We Ijaws would always burst the Igbo foolishness, whatever the form it presents itself.

I'm sure I've taugh you enough lessons here, so I'm gonna care less about you tagging me as a "yoruba".

I don't really have time for some ragworms like you who is from the ignorant, uncivilized and empty headed part of Igboland. I'd rather leave you in the hands of EDUCATED IGBOS to cure some of your stupity. Read and have some internal peace for your troubled & deluded mind.

I would rather not discuss Bakana community here, as you seem not to know the gravity of that subject matter.

FYI, Bakana is NOT a Local Government Area, it is just a community. Pls get some proper education!

Kenule Psaro Wiwa is a Niger Deltan from Ogoni, pls try and quote any of my comments where I claimed he was Ijaw to prove your sanity.

You are only exposing your stupidity here, Saharareporters is owned by an illtrained Apoi-Ijaw man; Omoyele Sowore from Ondo state.

Is SR the only link I posted here? See your insecure mindset!

Once again I never said the president was Igbo, you were the one who accused me of trying to make his name sound Yoruba.

There is no place or angle for you to hide your stupidity from me, I will continue to tame you and all your folks in stupidity, ChinenyeN, Dede1, Ngodigha, EzeUche etc.
