So, either Killayut is NOT Kalabari, or he is suffering from "stolen identity syndrome". Most Kalabaris seem to have mixed blood -partly Igbo, Ibibio and Ijaw. I can't see how a guy with Igbo blood would be harboring so much venom against Igbo. That dude is pure imported Ijaw from Ghana. |

Shei Igbo people struggling hard to make KALABARI an Igbo ethnic group, I go laff die, Kalabari was a single town directly Opposite Bonny by the Bonny River and New Calabar river estuary The town like other towns like Okoloma, Tombia, Okrika, Minama, Bille, Nembe, Ifoko, Ke, Soku, Kula, were all Ijaw towns speaking the same Ijaw dialect, The towns of Okrika, Okoloma ( Bonny ) and Kalabari some how became more attractive that Ijaws from other towns started pouring in to them making them considerably larger over time. The clan heads of these 3 towns known as amayanabo AMA- YANABO ( owner of the town ) became powerful and during the colonial era when the Portuguese came tussle for the control of the creek and river root to the ocean to trade with the Portuguese caused rivalry among them. This rivalry led to imperialism. They rushed to control other smaller Ijaw settlments and due to proximity and location the KALABARI king was able to win over majority of the rest smaller Ijaw towns namely, ABALAMA, MINAMA, IFOKO, ABISSA, SOKU, KULA, ANGULAMA, KRAKRAMA and annexed them to be part of the rule of the amayanabo of KALABARI, The Powerful Okoloma ( Bonny ) king gave it a fierce fight that led to the destruction of KALABARI town ( due to internal fight in KALABARI town between Igbanibo and AMAKIRI the king ) The towns under king AMAKIRI remained loyal to him and continued to be under the KALABARI rule meanwhile that destruction of the town led to the founding of Buguma, ABONNEMA and BAKANA. and the town of KALABARI was deserted, This is a small eye opener to educate you IGNORANTS, KALABARI is not a tribe but an IJAW ENCLAVE, |

I say this because we, as Kalabari people, have never seen ourselves as Ijaws (although grouped by the colonialists as belonging to the Ijaw tribe). The typical Ijaw towns (Nembe, Brass, Yenagoa, Sangama and so on) are much too far away from Kalabari kingdom, almost nearer to Warri and Sapele in the Mid-West than to the Kalabari towns and villages or indeed, Okrika, Bonny or Opobo. Hope you get my point and not take offence at it 'cos any Kalabari would tell you that. . . Don't mind Ijaw people and expansionism. Kalabari and Okrika are not Ijaw. Pure and simple. The creation of Bayelsa State (an Ijaw state) removed almost every traceable Ijaw from former Rivers State. Current Rivers State is a mixture of Igbo/Igboid and Riverine groups: Ogoni and mixed groups (Kalabari and Okrika). |

Kiwi 992 is an old school guy who left Nigeria after the civil war. Some Kalabari peeps used to claim they are not Ijaw, but that view is dead and gone. Put it this way, Asari Dokubo, is a Kalabari man. Secondly, Okrika and Ibani language is the same, but there are slight variances with Kalabari language. For example, Killayut said FEH means buy in Kalabari, but in Okrika and Ibani, it means eat. |

@ibime.If you had followed this thread,you would have noticed when killayut made some unfounded claims which gave him out to someone like me.If you also follow that Kalabari thread,you will observe that he was commiting one fallacy after another just to assert a wrong theory of origin on Kalabari.Remember some of us have Kalabaris as cousins and inlaws and could as well get direct info. In a broader sense of it Kalabari,Ibani and your Okrika are Ijaw but in a conservative view,they exist as distinct.They are far more distinct than Ikwerre and SE Igbos. |

i think if a group of people agitate to be recognized independently of another that is their right. we have a number of groups that have done so and are so reconized by the nigerian constitution e.g . IKWERRE so i don't know why me must continue to return to SETTLED matters. |

Put it this way, Asari Dokubo, is a Kalabari man. Bros, I think you miss pronounced the word Feh, to be Fi, Ye FI ( to eat ) Fi ye fi ( to eat food ) To eat is Fi ( Fee) in both KALABARI / OKRIKA/ IBANI/ BILLE Feh is pronounced as Feh in Felt or Feh in Fed up, It is different from Fii( fee ) and even Okrika and Ibani say Feh, in Okrika .,. Ee toye feh abe ( what are you trying to buy ) Ah Feh mu abe ( I am going to buy some thing ) |

BY GABRIEL ENOGHOLASE BENIN—THE Ijaw of Edo State have said that their demand for the creation of Toru-Ibe State from Edo and Delta states was to save them from the oppression they suffered in the hand of the Bini people, which they said was more than what the Israelites suffered while in bondage in Egypt. They also reacted to comments by the Bini monarch, Oba Erediauwa and some Itsekiri chiefs at a recent meeting in Benin, that not an inch of their land would be ceded for the proposed Toru-Ibe State. They described the claim by the Bini that all Ijaw riverine communities in the state belonged to them as, “a bundle of lies and deliberate falsehood carefully crafted to bamboozle, misinform, miseducate and mislead governments of Nigeria, especially members of the National Assembly who must be very wary.” Addressing newsmen in Benin, yesterday, spokesman for the Ijaw in Edo State, Prof. Christopher Dime, insisted that the Ijaw will never cede an inch of their land to any ethnic nationality in the country. He added that the Ijaw had been the aborigines and the customary owners of all land covered by the proposed Toru-Ibe State. He said, “despite their posturing, blind guessing and recent attempts at historical revisionism, it is clear that the Benins do not know, and indeed cannot know when the Ijaws came into the Ijaw lands of present Edo State because the Ijaws were on the land long before the Benins migrated from Yorubaland. “That the Ijaws were among the oldest ethnic nationality in Nigeria and indeed in West African sub-region is not doubt. That they are indigenous to the Niger Delta and its fringes to the West, East and North is equally no news. There is a pool of incontrovertible scholarly evidence and documentations in support of these claims. “Among them are Chief Jacob Egharebva of blessed memory, the best known and celebrated Benin historian with Benin Royal blood, who in his “A Short History of Benin”, said, ‘many, many years ago, the Benins came all the way from Egypt to found a more secure shelter in this part of the world after a s short stay in the Sudan and Ife tradition says that they met some people who were in the land before their arrival.” Prof. Dime claimed that the people Chief Egharevba, referred to were the Ijaw aborigines, adding that the ferry man also referred to in the book that Prince Oranmiyan, the father of Oba Eweka 1 and his courtiers encountered with much trouble at Ovia River, was an Ijaw man. |

Chyz*: Chyz*: AWESOME!! I speak fluent Jamaican patois and had NO IDEA that some of those words belonged to certain tribes. I mean I knew they came from various African languages but I didn't know the specifics. I showed that website to my mom and she was amazed! Especially at the words "mumu", "dupi", "poto-poto"; etc. she added that some of our words are missing from the list such as "cunumunu, coop pon, laba laba"; etc but the point is that site was very informative. thanks!! But my question is this how come so many of those words were shared not only between our Igbo and Yoruba ancestors but also that of our Akan and Mende? that's confusing. they even claimed 'poto poto' came from our central african roots too. HOW?! |

killayut: Shei You have still not indulged in self rumination about the correct historical facts about areas that cover the deltas formed by Niger, Imo, Urashi and Utamiri. It is good to notice you have slightly come back home with the terms such as AMA ONYEABO and AMA IKIRI. I am aware these two terms have gone through mysterious changes. Also I learnt the founder of Bille was one Ejike. |
