Now you have deceitfully dragged them into the fray. Why always IPOB? why always Biafra? undecided

IPOB youths will soon invade the thread and start addressing issues not directed at them

Nonsense! You didn't meet anybody. Which Okrika man or women told you is is more of Igbo than Ijaw? You and Afam with una lieeeees!

Okrika is 100% Ijaw of Western Ijaw clan. That's my hommie and stop talking nonsense. Okrikans see themselves first as Okrikans and next Ijaw. This is because Ijaw kingdoms are autonomous. Okrikand/Andoni are not "partly Ijaw", we are FULL Ijaw.


BTW: we also married from Calabar, Ikwerre, Ogoni, etc and not just Igbo. Make I no provoke o.
provoke ke, you re already provoke on nairaland, long time ago, so I'm not here to provoke you bro. So Chill.
Am here to state the FACT for readers to read and know The real fact as it's.
If your people married from calabar, ikwerre, ogoni(5%) etc. But predominantly and majorly is IGBO(55%). Thank God you didn't denied them at all.
Igbo is the major tribe your people married a lot .that is why in okrika, they see themselves first as ijaw/okrika, 2nd as igbo and Igbo language is widely spoken there apart from the local language bro. Let s face the fact here without being bias or tribalistic. It s so unfortunate your grand mother is not igbo though grin

Anyway, what I am saying is that, they should try and put more efforts on one central language just like the way the igbo did.
this one you said okrikans see themselves first as okrikan and 2nd as ijaw, you sound like mr spokesman of okrika people,
Don't forget, you don't speaks for them all and everyone differs from you with different views. Remember you don't stay in okrika neither in portharcourt but you stay in abuja.
So you may not know what is happening there..

Rubbish! Which 55% Igbo? So you mean Okrikans didn't marry from other Ijaw clans and amongst themselves? You Igbos are just too funny! The % of non Ijaws that are married to Okrika men is not up to 15%. That is from Igbo, Ogoni, Ikwerre, Ibibio, Efik, Urhobo etc. Why una like to lie to unaselves?

So you have carried your land grabbing to Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers too? Chaiii

Farnsworth no gree for this guy ooo, his land grabbing is EPIC. That was how we got into an argument yesterday on the identity of Sowore Omoyele, the founder of Sahara Reporter. Tonye claimed the guy is Ijaw but I showed him a link where the guy stated that he's Yoruba. This small boy Tonye no gree ooo. He insisted that Sowore Omoyele must be Ijaw grin

So i no know how una own obolo since igbo join, the other link, abeg that woman name look ijaw to you? The other link they talk of rivers no akwa ibom and finally i no even open that wiki link cuz i knw say na fraud e be. Wiki can be modified, shebi you know.

I'm still wondering how that Tonyebarcanista is able to do this, land grabbing. The first link was a dead end. The other two links has nowhere in it where Ijaw was mention. He assumed they are Ijaw because Andoni was mentioned. Chaiii Tonye, na who do this to you? Go for deliverance asap grin

Ibeno have a dialect that seems slightly
different from the general lbibio language
even as lbibio language is understood by all

Is Ijaw language the same as that of Ibibio?

Its pathetic that ijaw people don't have one central language. Very soon, as time goes on. They won't see themselves as a brother nor a sister.

Just as your link trace the ibeno of akwa ibom to eastern obollo/andoni of rivers state. Funny enough, I met one eastern obollo woman in ibeno area then who told me they re not related to ibeno cos they don't have the same language and cannot understand themselves that their lifestyles is different from them and she s from eastern obollo, rivers state.
You guys should make efforts to create one central language.
Even the people of okrika where you came from see tahemselves more of igbo than ijaws cos their grand mothers re igbos.
Some of the peopdle in okrika/ibeno/eastern obollo due to high level of ignorance don't even know they re partly ijaws .
Nawa o.
Don't mind him
The wakrike are among the group we call Igboid Ijo and its only a matter of time before they're completely Igbonized. Igbo is first language for majority of them,and with their current craze for Igbo women its just a matter of time before the inevitable happens.
Excluding the eight LGs of kalabari and Ogoni, the other LGs in Rivers are simply Igboid in outlook grin

Editing wikipedia is not hard. This is my origin and we are not Ijaw.

Your claims only succeed in amusing us, you can do and independent DNA forecast.

Nwoke stop arguing with that tonyebarcainsta bastard. I keep telling you people that monkey has a personality diaorder. He so fuvked up in the brain, he twist whatever reality to fit his bleeped up mentality. The guy needs severe help.

You can argue till next year, he'll never stop trying to land grap. He did it with ndoki, even with multiple links and ndoki's Facebook page where they themselves spoke on that matter, the severeally deranged fool is still today land grabbing their land. Everyone knows ibeno are ibibio. Heck I know this personally cause I know someone from there. Stop arguing.

Just do like I do whenever their Bini cousins try to steal aniomaland, defend your land with all your might and tell them to leave NL and come steal land in real life. You'll be waiting for them

All these na cock-and-bull story.

Ibeno people are ancestrally linked to Obollos/Andonis that are both in Rivers and Akwa Ibom state. This is an established FACT! They are MAJORLY Ijaws from all historical evidence. Eket didn't give anybody land, the lands that they are on is their ancestral land. Who was the Eket man that gave out land to the Obollos?

PS: There is nothing like "Ijaw language". Ijaw has no central language. I am Okrikan, our language is Kirike/Wakrike. It is similar to those in Western Ijaw like Kalabari and co. Ibeno is of Eastern Ijaw, the language is similar to that of Andoni(rivers state). The Apois(Ondo states) speak language that sound like Yoruba. Edwin Clark's dialect sound similar to Urhobo. I wish Ijaw have central dialect though.

Hello young man, there are two Ijo groups in Ondo state. The Apois and the Arogbos. Of these two, the Arogbos are more Ijo than the Apois. Apoi people are Ijo only in name. They do not speak a language resembling Yoruba, but indeed a dialect of the Yoruba language similar to Ilaje and Ikale. Strictly speaking, only the Arogbos have much in common with the other Ijo groups from Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers.
