Even Jaja being Ibo never called his kids by an Ibo name, he does not consider himself igbo but ibani. Apart from language which was as a result of some crazy Idea and Trade, nothing else connects us to igbo. we call our king Amanyanabo and not Eze, Alabo and not Mazi, Alabota and not Lolo. and the list goes on
@@ayebatarijuliapaxagiri2767 some of them consider themselves to be of Igbo heritage.. especially ndoki subgroup..and I don't see anything wrong in that.. it's where I have lived before..so please tell what you know and don't speak for the whole opobo
Opobo isn't igbo, my fellow igbo brothers , stop all ur claims, it only makes u people a land grabber , just bcus of mistake their elders made andu people are still leveraging on it to make them igbo. I love opobo as we all igbos do. It's better they are our close relatives because we have some people with igbo ancestry but are now enculterated t be igbo.its through that I can hear some back ground igbo like egwu ogwugba pr something lidat, but they are not igbo please and take note. Do not make them hate us.
@@jessemorgan7781 pls there's nothing lik Bonny speaks "LITTLE " Ibani. Wich one b little again? Language dey get little? D language of Bonny is Ibani. There's nothing little about it. Dat's our language
@@ayebatarijuliapaxagiri2767 what I meant is that not everyone in bonny speaks ibani most of you commune in pidgin English.. some in ibani while some still speak good Igbo.. true or false ?
They actually don’t speak igbo but they have a certain language that is a bit mixed with igbo and that’s actually the one some of the younger people understand (like me).
@@Peggylious the facts is after the civil war a lot of people where killed in that area by the Nigerian army so they tend to runaway from their Igbo roots
@@isaackalu2132 No, the igbo language was influence by trade with the Ndoki people. The language was also used in Bonny. The ibani language was seen as a language of the royals. However opobo has a mix from different tribes including Ibani(Ijaw), Igbo, ibibio, andoni and even the ogonis who are now ibani people by enculturation. so even when the speak a dialect of Igbo the have not forgotten their root.
you guys know nothing about Opobo or Bonny, Visit the place you will be surprised and confused at the same time. May be you view would change about the people. I blame our fathers who did not follow the Kalabari and wakrike group would forced the igbo slaves the bought to speak their language. We wouldn't be debate this Opobo is Igbo. you dont force people to be part of you.

@@Peggylious Mama.. how you dey.
My God this guys are singing in Igbo they must be Igbo peopl
Opobo speak and Understand Igbo especially around King Jaja's town
I won’t disagree that we can understand Igbo but our our language is not Igbo
Even Jaja being Ibo never called his kids by an Ibo name, he does not consider himself igbo but ibani.

Why hating on the word IGBO...you can't speak for the whole opobo.. some consider themselves of igbo stock
@@jessemorgan7781 they can speak Igbo but r Ibani-Ijaws. They bear Ijaw names & titles. Evn d name of d town Opobo (Opubo) is an Ijaw name
@@ayebatarijuliapaxagiri2767 some of them consider themselves to be of Igbo heritage.. especially ndoki subgroup..and I don't see anything wrong in that.. it's where I have lived before..so please tell what you know and don't speak for the whole opobo
Nice one. But please Peggy, Opobo is not a village for your information. It's a town. That's why the name Opobo Town. Please take note
Nice culture
thanks
💯
I just love this......our culture is rich. Because of stupid leaders, Nigeria is not benefiting from tourism.
Opobo isn't igbo, my fellow igbo brothers , stop all ur claims, it only makes u people a land grabber , just bcus of mistake their elders made andu people are still leveraging on it to make them igbo.

Nice pay 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I wasn't available for this celebration i miss alot. Hello sisi am new subscriber to your channel my name is happiness idamina peterside
What is the local language of Opobo people?
I believe we speak Ibani
No ma'am.. we speak ndoki Igbo..the one used in writing igbo Bible..bonny speak little ibani ..
D local language of Opobo is Ibani-Ijaw.
Som of dem speak Ndoki-Igbo bcos many Igbos arrived there as a result of slave trade.

Pls next time if you're going you can invite me to come
Oh yes you are invited already 🙌🏾☺️
My question is these people speak Igbo why are they answering ijaw
They actually don’t speak igbo but they have a certain language that is a bit mixed with igbo and that’s actually the one some of the younger people understand (like me).
Plus their culture is very different from that of the igbo’s

Because majority of the inhabitants of Opobo are of Igbo extraction due to slave trade and also Ndoki-Igbo migration and influence.
Opobo is 99% Ndi Igbo
hmmmm are very sure of this?
It is not o I'll say a 50% because the the igbo is diluted with ibani

No b only 99% Igbo. Na 150% Igbo. Una go talk weda n by force ! We r Ibani ppl, not Igbo. Ibani is Ijaw & never Igbo
