LILTJAY: You've forgotten me. Sharon that we had a video call and you were persisting I should come pay you a visit. You drive bikes, you love bikes, and I guess you told me you work as an architect or is it an Engineer? But I well you live in Yaba. You are tall, 6 inches perhaps, slim, dark and all. I've been viewing you here, I must say I'm highly disappointed, dear. |

LILTJAY: I never knew your were a tribalist. When we'd talked you sounded so cool and smart and looked so cool and smart too. I'm disappointed. I guess this is the LiltJay that stays in Yaba. I've been watching your contents, you lambast other tribes, especially the Igbo people with so much vile, that's totally not right. 1 Like |

chisomkachy: Inec denial and news no clear. How would a U.S. media site bring up fake news. Something is fishy. I hope they don't want to mastermind the crook coming into office, then later tell us, they didn't make due diligence and all those big grammar they make. But as it is, Obi is president, Amen. Thank you Lord. Nigeria shall never go backward. |

powerhouse3: Is that what I said. And anytime someone speaks or debate on a topic you guys bring the lame excuse of being emotional. Now, my question to you, if you have a debate do you think with your buttocks to make a debate. When you try to geenralize a topic, don't you have to think it is right, feel it is certain and say it out to be refuted or logically endorsed. Watch yourself too, aren't you being emotional with history too, what does Mogaji family have to do with the discussion we are talking about. And when did I say Aro had forceful access to the sea. I'm talking about one man's research that's against the stories between the Ibibios and Aros themselves. So do we have to take GI Jones research as totally right when we do have negating events to it that doesn't in any way coincide with his paper work? So, please, don't bring that being emotional with history, you people talk like when people talk they should think with their buttocks or hands. Even when people debate (in which you call emotional) they exchange words heatedly. It is only if you are emotional intellgent you'll know how to comport yourself. In essence, you're calling kettle black when you're showing the doings you're trying so condemn. In addition, Aro controlled many areas but where Ibibios and Efiks also gained a lot from their power. They were immune to most things. So, you no get talk, biko. If we look closely, perhaps they made a pact or something else, but the generalisation is that they are closely related to Igbos, especially the Aros in general. |

KingOKON: Okay, you didn't answer my questions. Your intellectuals can be your god, but not for me they can still be refuted. Upon my days in Arochukwu I have never had of such story from either the Eze or anyone in particular. The story that's well know is yes they were slaves, but some the Ibibios had the land and invited others who came to . But the minute there was a power tussle things changed. This is the story amongst the Ibibios and the Arochukwu themselves who still intereact and love themsleves as one. But from the god Gi Jones or whatever his name is called, you followed his point when they are actually gaps in the present. If the Ibibio kingdom was as powerful as they say they are why didn't they continue in their strength and power? Why didn't they at least control the coast or Niger Delta while Aro controlled its own or even sought ways to partner with them. It doesn't make sense. You reason it. I am sure there are academic works that has refuted the points of such learned men. They are human beings and can make their errors too. To say, all of the Igbos who were in Aro were slaves is the highest form of silliness and upon that they had to partner with an Akpa person closely related to them. There are Ibibios in Arochukwu, God knows it may be a disgruntled Ibibio he questionerred this too, but I don't want to base my suspicion on hearsay. The story as I've read from beginning to end runs contrary to the effects of Arochukwu east of the Niger, thank you. The one thing Arochukwu don't talk in these things, is because they know they were the ones who caused pain and sorrow in the East and now being Igbos they don't want to touch on such sensitive topics and they feel sorry till now. But I see it as a blessing, because now we have Igbos in large measure in North America, the Carribbean and some parts of South America. So, what was sorrow to some was a blessing indeed for all. Do have a splendid day. In addition, Aro had cordial relationship with the Ibibios and Efiks that it never touched them or maimed them in anyway. They were also allowed to freely use the Calabar port without hindrance of any kind. You can well see it doesn't make sense. |

KingOKON: And I read the whole script, the writer of that project who ever it is seems to be gross with Aro partaking in the slave trade and believe they are unrepentant. So, I'll say it was just a book based on emotions other than intellect. |

KingOKON: So, it's now your own that truth. No Aro person says that hogwash story you just posted. It isn't in the history. You say it was Ibibios who owned it, why would Akpa fight a foreign nation and leave out the people close to them ? It doesn't make sense, biko. And you haven't answered my question, is it that the Aro banned Ibibio who ever you think it is to stop trading when they were out. Why didn't they continue with their trade to defeat Aro? That's because it's ficition and never happened, other than that, Aro was trading in the Calabar ports and had its presence there too. So, stop these none relatable stories you bring up that has lots of gaps and question mark. You said you were the great people that your supposed slaves ousted you. Then you went forward to say Akpa who are closely related to you ed the slaves to fight you. Furthmore, you couldn't even progress that much pre-colonialism when the confederacy happened. Answer this questions then I'll get your point. |

KingOKON: Well, are the any more sources to what you posted. And the few questions I'll like to ask, if the Ibibios were great, why would Akpa people who are closely related to them rather fight with a foreign nation, the Igbos. It doesn't add up. And this is not what the Eze Aro say. What we do hear is three clans living together till there was an argument in the Ibibio cricle which changed leadership fo the region. And if they were tops as you said, why didn't they have a presence even in the Niger Delta self. It doesn't add up, why did Ibibios and Efiks relied on Aros for safety. You can see yourself it doesn't add up in any way. It skewed. 1 Like |

KingOKON: In addition, in the early years before large ships and ports, the coast was inhabitable. No one could actually live there, this is why most Igbos took the favourable lands that are high and less water logged. But still had areas in the coast to trade. So, making it seem Aro was scared of the coast because of your type of people (not all Ibibios, for I respect them so much) that's why they didn't go there is silly to the highest. Aro was very great, no cap. And even Ibibios and Efiks were under their protection too, this was the reason Ijaws and the likes couldn't mishandle them like Ijaws praise themselves in using Efiks and Ibibios for sacrifices. 1 Like |

KingOKON: First of all, stop feeling special. Aros didn't touch Ibibios and Efiks not because they were scared of them but because they saw theirselves as cousin. I doubt you're from there, or you're even Ibibio but only looking for a way to jam two heads together being the negatives of social media. If Aro wanted to take Obong Ita port it would be wiped out in a day. They had the army, they had the people. But being cousins they made a pact, that's all. Even in that Port in Calabar and Ibibio side Aro had its presence. But it preferred exchanging and trading with lands that spoke it's language, that is the Bonny and Opobo areas, that's why it boomed in that period. Even Calabar Port and the rest boomed because of Aros, read books and understand. I don't know which books you read that said Aro only traded inland. I dare you to bring such books, or post it here let's see. pS: I am not trying to call Aro, oh mighty great. But where you see truth, say truth and stop trying to cover up or make it suit you. 1 Like |

Ebi2233: Sometimes, I wonder what you'll do (Not all Ijaws because I believe not all think like you) I wonder what you'll do when the sea takes over your coast and comes farther inland. Would you be begging hinterland for forgiveness and to give you land to stay. I want to see something? What's your take on this? |

NwaforIgbo:Don't say that, that's deragatory. I don't think you're from there. Because no true Igbi person would have ever look down on his kinsmen. How would you be happy if Arochukwu, Bonny of even Anioma person say he has nothing in common with an Ndoki person. Stop it. What you throw back to people comes back to you. 1 Like |
