@@sosa9220 Did you hear what the Elder said? He said their forefathers spoke Igbo in Bonny where they came from, and that is why they speak Igbo. He was speaking in a central Igbo,a clear dialect like people from Isuama Imo and there is a clan of Igbo called Ubani, I think the Opobo people is an extension of them. No wonder king Jaja of Opobo, the first king is said to come from Ama-Igbo in Imo. This is FACT!!!
Mbanaso from Ama-Igbo Imo State popularly known as King Jaja founded Opobo In Bonny Ndoki people are the ones there and some of them moved with their brother Mbanaso to Opobo
This great elderly man here said most of there forefathers are Igbo slaves and that's why they're speaking Igbo language, so if most of there forefathers are Igbos, who are they ?

@@sosa9220 You have borrowed more data and you are flying high. You see an Opobo man speaking pure unadulterated Ibo and you want to turn it on its head and read "Ijaw" into it.

The truth is that ubani was founded by the ijaws but was truly established by the igbos. There is nothing different from the ubani ijaw and ubani Igbo. Ijaw and Igbo met in ubani and became one. Despite what dirty politics of the British and Nigeria continue to do, it can only bring division between this two great groups of people temporarily.
Its quite unfortunate that many Igbos who have commented here that "Opobo is igbo" can not comprehend this man's Igbo and it's on-screen translation. From the time mark 1:04 you can hear the senibo say that they (the Opobo people) are majorly Ibanis but they speak Igbo due to the assimilation of Igbo language through the slave trade business in Bonny years before their their migration to Opobo. Many of you just conclude that Opobo is Igbo cos of the language. Yet, language alone does not truly define the identity of a people. Before the slave trade business between the Ibanis and the Whitemen, and before their dealings with the igbo slave traders, who were the aboriginal residents of Bonny?? The Ibanis. Where did they migrate from?? From Okoloba in the then Western Delta, currently in Bayelsa State. Is Ibani an Ijaw sub-group? YES, it is!
Bro, Opobo is an Igbo settlement founded by an Igbo man and the language is Igbo. The same as Bonny founded by Ndoki Igbos. If you open your mouth wider on the slave trade, then you will be schooled on the subject, so you better just not go there at all. That your Okoloba fairy tale has already been discredited and consigned to the dust bin. Sorry to burst your bubble, bro.
@@sosa9220 You mean you personally are Ijaw, Izon or Jo man? Which one? Opobo is Ibo. Stop fighting a lost cause, fretting about what you can't change in a million years. Return to Kolokuma and eat bugs. Being vulgar will not help you, nong.
My brother, I am an Ndoki person, what this man is speaking is the same with my dialect. This is not Ijaw na. Which one is Ijaw?. The least you can say is that the community is a mixture of Ijaw heritage and Igbo heritage but the Igbo is obviously predominant.
@Igbo obvious predominant yet we don’t follow Igbo systems, aren’t apart of Igbo organizations, and all our people maintain our Ibani root. And I doubt you are Ndoki because: 1. Ndoki and Opobo Creole while similar are distinct 2. Ndoki wey ancestors travel from Ijaw land and intermixed with Igbo is your marker of us being Igbo? The same people who have Ijaw words in their language, dress like Ijaw, and had land under Bonny & Opobo is your measuring stick?
You said he said that he is ijaw and if he is did you as an ijaw person understood what he just spoken now but me as an Igbo i understand everything I mean everything his spoken language from his mouth

This is pure Igbo
It’s not, but continue expansionist
It is Ijaw,they bear Ijaw names,practice Ijaw culture,also note that there's an Igbo community that Speaks Yoruba in Delta State (Olukumi people)

Fact is that every Igbo understands what this man speaks but no Ijaw from Bayelsa State knows what he is saying.
