Isaac Boro was the greatest Nigerian to ever fight for Nigeria's survival.
The Nigerian government should declare a national holiday in his honour. Without Boro, the South-South might have remained under an even more oppressive and tyrannical government.
Warisenibo Abinye Ogolo, a descendant of chief Diepiri Ogolo & native of Opobo, talks about the erosion of the Ibani native language and ancestral tongue of Bonny and Opobo, calling for the need to revitalize, revive, and preserve the ailing native language of their forefathers
"Perekule (Capt. Pepple) the founder of the dynasty and of the fortunes of Grand Bonny in the 18th century, left behind him two sons, Fubara (Manilla) & Opubo (Anna) who in turn succeeded him & were both strong kings. They left behind them, however, two over-powerful houses.."

The igbo they are speaking is a union language according this Ndoki man from akwa ibom
They have their own language which is ibani
The greatest natural born Igbo man in history is Jaja, a naturalized Ijaw man, created by Ijaws & robed with Ijaw greatness
The 2nd greatest Igbo man in history is rumored to have been fathered by an Ijaw
God go punish una wella if we confirm say true true Zik papa na Ijaw man

This guy went to Bonny looking for slaves who would identify with his agenda, only to find Ijaw people who have no interest in his slavery project. Not every community is available for ethnic expansionism.🤣🤣

I am glad nobody forced the young man to tell his fellow igbo man about the slave history and how they ended up with the ijaw people over there.

I want to say a big thank you to this Igbos who still went ahead to post this video even though it didn't fit the general igbo narrative.
We've been telling you people that, this is how, obopo started speaking Igbo (association and intergration) of slaves.

You people literally lived off Yoruba vibes. Your concorted story of Eri the Igala man was that Eri descended from the sky (heaven) to the earth by the supreme God, Chukwu. There is no originality when it comes to the ibos, either in culture or traditions. All na copy & paste. 😂

@grok can you school this guy on how igbos gave ijaws their most revered man jaja of opobo and how the igbos have contributed to the growth of the tribe
"I am from Chief Ogolo's compound. Chief Ogolo is Ijaw
My forefathers were Igbo & were slaves of chief Ogolo. My family name is Okoronkwo
My forefathers served chief Ogolo who freed them & settled them
Other Ijaw chiefs like chief Ogolo also had slaves mostly of Igbo origins"
Fepplewinks retweeted
Ndoki People from both Abia state, Akwa Ibom state, And Rivers state are all Ijaw People
And they all know about this

God bless Ijaw Nation 💙♥️💚
