Bensonite: @Ibime and Barcanista,
Please stop embarrassing Wakirike on this thread with needless quarrels. You are already derailing the topic. It is people like you that made Okrika to get the name of the thread you are debating today.
As far back as 1972, Professor(Emeritus) Tekena Tamuno former Vice Chancellor of UI an Okrikan who happens to be a renowned historian took the fight to ensure an end to the name " Okrika wake up". Whereas the location of the famous Okrika Jetty is true which enabled used clothes/ other sundry goods to be traded, the wake up call was made to stop Okrikans from frequent internal fighting as it was believed then fighting era in Riverine (Ijaw)had past. Infact, a bloody stony-fight eschew in 1962 between the two groups Tuboniju and Koniju (which Ibime and Barcanista are laying claims to) and Professor Tekena has written several memoirs on this.
I want to rest my case as I am too busy now in the office to make more comment.

kalunomics: There's no one exclusive Igbo language... Just like you said, my mum can communicate well with people from Izi, Ezza, Abakiliki et al of Ebonyi state but I can only understand my own Edda language(which is spoken by people of Afikpo north and south LGAs, Ivo LGA of Ebonyi state and Item, Ohafia people of Abia state) because I was born and raised in Owerri.

But in Imo state, people marvel at my oral prowess in all the Igbo languages in Imo state like Awara[b][/b], oguta, and extending to Ogba, Egbema and Ndoni Igbo of River state.

makelove2m: Okirika, is been pronouce like this Oki-ri-kaa, which means second valued items, and this is a borrowed language from igboland, though sounds like one of the town in Rivers State, Okirika in Rivers state is a remote area and do not have sea Port now or before, Is unfutunately that most of our local languages are lossing ground as a result of foreign language first hand usage,

basisop:

Hence, the man and name Adetokunbo is simply saying that Ade is from Europe? Am I correct?

mitey: Why are second-hand clothes called okrika?

Why are second-cars called tokunbo?

Why are rich kids called ajebota?

And why is this shi.t on Front Page?

FECOSON: Who gave secondhand cloths Okrika in Nigeria?

erudite scholar: My dad told me that when the white men brings the cloth to nig, they bring it through a small port in okirika in Rivers state. Okirika shld be in rivers or bayelsa now. He kept telling us the same history till he died cos his family traded on okirika in lome and cotonoue.
