Irony is the euphemism of falsehood. This is true with Ijaw history. Asari Dokubo foolishly called critics attention towards unveilling the subservient lifestyle to their Igbo landlord. Rather than accept his fate and work towards recreating his sad history, he claimed Igbo were Ijaw servants. But history is sometime very despicable, in the real sense, Ijaw father was given to an Ignorant mercenary warrior as a reward. So, who is actually the servant; the Igbo or the Ijaw?

Before the modern era and its civilization, the Aro
