That statue is a work of art. So realistic and palpable. The sculptor is something else. The man's strength, the scraggly beard, his staff, his cutlass (very essential implement in those days for both men and women), his clothes.... This was a man of adventure, a traveller, maybe even an hunter. Nice heritage. 1 Like |

nairaman66: It's a statue. He's the founder of their community. A market square is a good place to place the statue. Period! |

Abagworo:Stop the insinuation, Ibanichuka means totally different thing. Okrikans married Igbos back in the days purely for domestic reason. It was believed Igbo women are hard working and they come very very cheap, because the girls and parents saw marriage to an "mbamiriā okrika man as means of excape from extreme poverty. Hence when the girls are given out for marriage, they attached another junior female relative to her, hence she grows up in Okrika and eventually marries to an Okrika person, and she in turn goes to her village to bring another girl to stay with her.... the circle continues. That was how the Igbos infiltrate the Okrikan families. |

WorWorBoy: Nah, you guys definitely aren't. Don't worry, Igbos aren't claiming you. But it seems your founders and significant people in history definitely are. That statue is clearly wearing an igbo dress even to the feathered cap, lol. 2 Likes |

Shiver99: You okoro don't have shame, you claim the founders of okrika are igbos, yet the okrika people on this thread said they are not related to Igbos. Why can't you guys let them be? Okrika people are part of ijaw youth council (IYC) and they identify with ijaw people, their ancestors migrate from the delta and not Igbo so who are the significant people in their history that are igbos? 2 Likes |
