razznaija:

in other ways you dont even know nembe . It is the greatest kingdom in bayelsa state

ibide: in other ways you dont even know nembe . It is the greatest kingdom in bayelsa state

Great they are, but that distinction is irrelevant right now. All we need to do is to work hard to better the lot of the entire Ijaw nation.

Twon is a Nembe town, Nembe is a like a kingdom and it consists of Ogbolomanbiri,Bassambri, Twon-Brass and some other small villages. Those villages speak the same language, which is Nembe.

I thought the language they speak is Ijaw?

Ijaw people speak several Languages like;Kalabari,Izon,Okrika, Nembe and they are divided between Bayelsa and Rivers States. Majority of the people that live in Yenagoa (capital of Bayelsa state)speak the Izon Language, while people from Rivers state speak mostly Kalabari, Okrika and Andoni. So the correct term for people that are Okrika, Ogbia, Andoni,Nembe, Kalabari etc is actually 'Ijaw'. There are even some Ijaw people that can be located in Ondo state. I hope my explanation is correct, if someone knows more than i do you can add yours.

I actually lied about me being half Twon bit i think i'm enjoying the lecture on Nembe and Ijaw. At least i was not the only person that lied

The truth is; I usually get confused with this whole Ijaw thingy. When i was young, i lived in Port-Hacourt and we used to have this huge convention in church where people from Rivers, Bayelsa and some parts of Abia(mostly Aba) used to attend and there were translators for people who didn't understand English or weren't fluent in English. I was noticed that there were different translators for Nembe, Okrika, Kalabari etc and i'm like "Aren't this people all Ijaw? Can't they get one translator for everybody?". It seems to me as the Ijaw that;s spoken in Nembe and other parts of Ijawland are very different. Exceot it's a Rivers/Bayelsa thing because they also used to have different translators for Ikwerres, Ndoni, Etche and other Igbo groups in Rivers state.
