tonte: I hope so as well, I've always almost only known myself as a Kalabari person, and just only during the 2006 militancy crisis that I could identify myself as Ijaw, and that was the only time I ever saw the Ijaw nation from delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, and Ondo agree on a point and act as one...Long live the ijaw nation

macof:

wats this Igbo aren't dominant in delta or rivers.

barcanista: here comes the bitter igbo man!!! I keep telling you all to refrain from this insanity

GooseBaba:

And they wonder why people do not trust them with power. Making claims that are not factual, but calling facts propaganda... Smh.

barcanista: clown

maki: Proudly Kalabari, Proudly Ijaw....

emmysoftyou: u re toking trash..izon boi

emmykk: Rivers state is ijaw dominated,i wonder why ameachi is supporting Northern APC candidature to win rivers state.

Greater wonder is how the ogoni with the support of ameachi will win rivers Gov with dominated ijaw. Time shall tell.

asamaigho:

sharrap ur dirty mouth...... the ITSEKIRIS ARE light years ahead of illiterate ijaws....in all ramifications

Ikwerreboy:

See you. Are the ijaws in rivers state more populated than the ikwerres? The ans is NO.
It was before when bayelsa state was with rivers state the ikwerres were seen as one of the minority in rivers state.
But now we are 40%-45% of rivers state population with 4 local govt areas.
Any candidate Ikwerre pple acept 4 governorship/Presidential election done win.
If ikwerre pple dom Goodluck Jonathan, he will probably loose in rivers state.
Supervising minister of education nyesom wike get courage to contest for Governor because in from Ikwerre.
That why amaechi is going about telling other ethnic group that they should not allow an ikwerre become the gov after him who is an ikwerre man. or else only the ikwerres will continue to be governor in rivers state because of there population. That it is only him(Gov amaechi) that can kick against that if they all join hands with him and vote in someone from another ethnic group in rivers state probably from A.P.C

Were the ijaws own population is in bayelsa and dellta.

tonte: anyway, I'm Kalabari, and for a long time I've heard arguments and counter arguments that either Kalabari's are not Ijaw, or Kalabari's are the real Ijaws...but either ways, I'm so proud of my heritage, history and ancestry...we all about Love, Peace and all out enjoyment for any kind of celebration, birthdays, Marriages, funerals, even celebrations that are uncalled for like "Go to Niger" (that's a carnival that celebrates the anniversary of our defeat to the Nigerian forces during the civil war) I always wondered why that was celebrated with so much crowd and funfare...we sure do not like to be cheated or marginalised out of what we think should be our rights( which should explain the Asari Dokubo led uprising in 2006), we have a very beautiful diverse choice of tasty sea food, as well as very lovely women, examples are Agbani Darego and Damiete Charles-Granville, who were beauty queens.... I wish I could host maybe 1 or 2 nairalanders from the north and Southwest for a chirstmas week, so you guys should know that there really is no party like a Kalabari party in Nigeria...okay I think I have talked too much bye bye

abelbriggs:
Sure?

GooseBaba:

Who be this dead body, abeg stay your corner with your nauseating stench.... Olofo...!

ijawcitizen: All thru' the inglorious origin and pathetic history of the tiny itsekiri nation, you can not name one Ijaw man who was a slave to a poor settler itsekiri, european traders butt lickers. Yet ur founder Ginuwa was rescued from Bini onslaught by an Ijaw; king Ogirijoka who also sheltered him and Gave Him and his entourage free wives. poor ginuwa was too poor to care for his Ijaw wife so he killed her and escaped to ilaje territory. i don't wanna type ur entire history here, so shut that gutter u call a mouth up!

omonuan:

You are wrong too. In the south south, the Igbo are the number one group. Forget the propaganda. Igbo is the only tribe native to all the Niger delta states and are dominant in Rivers and Delta states. Starting from Igbanke, Inyele, Ekpon in Edo state to the nine Anioma Local government areas in Delta to Ndoni, Ahoada, Ogba and Ikwerre people in Rivers, the Igbo predominate. I am a Niger Delta Igbo and proud of it!

The Efik/Ibibio/Anang/oron may be next before the Ijaws who have some how succeeded in making people think the Niger Delta is .synonymous with Ijaw.

We used to think they were sub humans. If you don't know ask every Rivers person. We Ijaws used to buy timber from them bro so I wonder which Itshekiri you are on about ? Apart from those Timber Itshekiris I 've not even seen any Itshekiri before or heard of any before so shut up.

Kalabari, Okrika, Ibani are 100% Ijaw and perhaps even more Ijaw than many parts of Bayelsa. They are mostly ORU Ijaws . I am a proud Ijaw from Kalabari kingdom .
