Good job, David. Wish you'd covered a lot more of the island like the old Bonny town (Cable Road, Court Road, Ikuba Square, the Palace, Dappa Posie, etc), Hospital Road, Macaulay, New Road, Wilbros Pipeline, Akiama, Workers' Camp, Monkey Village, Finima, etc. Bonny is an island of contrast. There are the good, the bad and the ugly sides of the island. It's a mesh of squalor and sprawling splendor. In the midst of the squalid environment, you'll sometimes chance upon architectural masterpieces in quiet neighborhoods.... That said, the island still stands as a nauseating irony: squalor in the midst of multi-billion dollarz national assets... Strangers smile to the banks while the natives gnash their teeth in poverty. No thanks to the inequities of the Nigerian federation and the greediness and self-centeredness of the local principalities and powers.

I like your insightful comments. You said it all. The local principalities are the problem, as they prefer to have lion shares for their stomachs and don't care much about development of the island. More tour still coming

@@DavidNkwa I don't think the people are not concerned about development. Their environment have been heavily polluted. Imagine a town in a developing country where the people cannot drink or use rain water for cooking because of the gas flaring. If you did not visit the fishing ports, you may consider doing that some other time to see the suffering of the people

people who live near the coast will definitely experience flooding at high tide and sometimes it takes a long time for it to recede, that's why if we come to residential areas where the majority of work is done are fishermen, we will find many puddles of water everywhere due to sea water.. and in Indonesia, especially Jakarta, the capital city, there is 1 largest fishing settlement like this and its name is Muara Angke. there the fishermen directly sell their marine catches on the spot by way of auction if we buy in large quantities or in kilos if we only want to buy in bulk. small amount if only for family consumption.

it's a pity that there is a lot of garbage on the seafront.. it's not good for health for people who live around it and also for the sea itself.. The zinc house is very hot during the day. in Indonesia, people also live in places like that.. slum and messy.. they will throw garbage anywhere and it's very dirty.sorry if my words might be a little harsh but that also happens in Indonesia because not everyone who lives in Indonesia has their own house in a good environment.. 🙏🙏

Hi David, nice documentary. I’m curious, did you receive a welcome bite from the red ant the local calls “okoblack” ? In the wet season, they are common to see around 😂.

This looks very different from the Bonny I visited. From the airport to the town looked solid. The community was also quiet and beautiful. Well spaced housing and landscaping. Its unbelievable that this place you visited is also on that island.

One of the many ironies of Bonny. The real Bonny town where the indigenous population live is a rundown ghetto like Makoko in Lagos, while the NLNG staff and their families live in tastefully furnished apartments ensconced in well-landscaped environment. We have two "Bonnys".

No, they're Ibani, a subset of Ijaws. But the trans Atlantic slave trade brought in a lot of people including the Igbos who came in as slaves (including King Jaja, Oko Jumbo, Oguru Ncheke, etc) who were later redeemed, settled and married in Bonny. As for the Igbo language, many Ibani people adopted the Ndoki dialect of the Igbo language as a medium of general communication during the slave trade and reserved their own Ibani language as a means of communication only among themselves and in order to keep away certain matters from outsiders. In an unfortunate twist of history, this turned out a bit harmful as the "ikem na ikegi" version of the Igbo gained ascendancy over the indigenous Ibani tongue.

Bonny ppl r Ibanis, an Ijaw ethnic group. All their culture, traditions, masquerades, ceremonies, names, titles, language, evrytin is IJAW. Som of dem speak Ndoki dialect of Igbo language basically bcos of intermarriage ,trade/bizness with Igbos & ENCULTURATION. IJAWS hv a tradition where slaves frm different tribes r taken in by a family, after certain traditional rites, d person's name, identity is changed & d person is accepted as a member of d family having rights & privileges of a biological family member, it's more lik an adoption but in dis case it's d traditional rites, gods & deities dat serve as legal base dat binds d agreement. U can't backstab or betray any family once u'v bin enculturated. During d slave trade era, lot's of Igbo were in Bonny/Opobo. D native Ijaws decided 2learn & speak Ndoki dialect & generally 4trade, etc while Ibani was used by d natives only, so dat non natives & slaves won't get 2understand Ibani. Centuries later, Ndoki got 2b widely spoken but d Ibani dialect is d native dialect & is spoken by lot's of Ibani ppl. D Ndoki dialect didn't affect d names, titles, music/,song, masquerades, family systems/War Canoe Houses. Ibani ppl don't EVER bear Igbo names or titles. An Ibani person might b speaking Ndoki but d name wud always b IJAW. Nwaotam masquerade was also borrowed frm Ndoki around d 1940s.

I am very concerned about the way this people live. The unhygienic surroundings. Look at that toilet on stilts. Look at that refuse dump that's literally in the water. The untold ecological damage to ecosystem of the area. The Bonny Island as a whole is a pristine natural endowment and should be preserved by all means.

Upon all the money there.. not surprised.. this place and all the oil States n regions should be a tourist attraction but no, they embezzled all the money... This is trash.......nothing amaze me in Nigeria anymore
