22.Khana====== Ogoni
23.Tai===== Ogoni



In conclusion Ijaw is by far the largest tribe in Rivers State.
Ijaw is the only group with full presence in the 3 Senatorial Districts of the State.


The 24 years of democracy only Ijaw have been Deputy Governors of Rivers from one Ijaw to another and now that it was time for Governor all parties zoned to Ijaw because Ijaw occupy half of Rivers State.

Ogoni has neither become Deputy nor Governor.


Ask if any other tribe have ever been Deputy Governor since democracy 25 years now?
It was as Ijaw became Governor they get the Vice...



@General Ditari

President, Nairaland Ijaws.
1.Abua/Odual ==> Abua major/Odual minor speaking people. Their language is TOTALLY different from Ijaw language.
2. Asari Toru ==> Kalabari Ijaw
3. Akuku Toru ==> Kalabari Ijaw
4. Bonny ==> Igbo and Ijaw
5. Opobo/Nkoro ==> Igbo and Ijaw
6. Andoni ==> Obolo people. Their language is TOTALLY different from Ijaw language.
7. Okrika ==> Igbo and Okrika Ijaw
8. Ogu/Bolo ==> Igbo and Ijaw
9. Degema ==> Udekama(edoid speaking people), Bukuma (Ogbronuagum speaking people) and Kalabari Ijaw.
10. Ahoada West ==> Ekpeye Igbo, Engenni (Edoid) Burna Boy's ethnic group and Ogbogolo people.
11. Ahoada East ==> Ekpeye Igbo
12. Port Harcourt ==> Ikwerre Igbo, Obulom (Abuloma town) and Okrika Ijaw.
13. Obigbo ==> Igbo
14. Etche ==> Igbo
15. Omuma ==> igbo
16. Obio/Akpor ==> Ikwerre Igbo
17. Emohua ==> Ikwerre Igbo
18. Ikwerre ==> Ikwerre Igbo
19. Ogba/Ndoni/Egbema ==> igbo
20. Eleme ==> igbo heavily influenced Ogoni people. They're formally known as Mbaoli people.
21. Gokana ==> Ogoni
22. Khana ==> Ogoni
23. Tai ==> Ogoni

This is the best representation of the language and ethnic reality in Rivers state. This truth will be confirmed in the nearest future as Nigeria dies. All the lies and false claims by Ijaws will be exposed for the whole world to see. How they think they can get away with claiming communities who don't speak any Ijoid language is very unbelievable.
From my research, all these claims on the lands of other ethnic groups by Ijaws began when Rivers state was created and handed over to them in 1967. Most of those ethnic groups out of fear accepted the Ijaw label just to survive but currently, they have mostly shake off the Ijaw claims except for a few still lost in the hangover.
Do you know that Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan isn't an Ijaw man? He's from Otuoke and the language they speak their is Ogbia. Google about the Ogbia language and words for yourself to confirm what I wrote.

There is no single language called Ijaw.
Of course there's no single language known as Ijaw but there are group of languages and dialects that share a lot of relationship which anyone can agree they have a common ancestry. It is these collective identity that one can use to say they all are one people. You can't just wake up and go start claiming a people with different language, culture and norms as your own people. It will always fail and create further problems for you.
Linguists have studied the various languages in Rivers and Bayelsa state and grouped them accordingly.
In Bayelsa, the Epie-Atissa people are edoid speaking and not Ijoid and they mostly occupy Yenagoa- the capital of the state.
The Ekpeye Igbo group are also found in Eastern parts of Bayelsa state. Ogbia people are have a language totally different from Ijoid and they are the largest of the Central Delta language group. GEJ is not an Ijaw man. You can check it up yourself.
Finally, saying Ijaw is not a language while using the same Ijaw to steal other people's land is dumb. Common sense dictates that for you to claim another group of people to be your brothers from the same ANCESTRY, there should be a level of language similarity even if the intelligibility is very low. You can't just claim everyone around you by muttering a phantom ancestral link whereas, there are no physical proofs on ground.
Go and tell those people who sent you on this ignoble mission that they are wrong and should retrace their steps early enough.

GEJ isn't an Igbo man by any means. He's of Ogbia ethnicity who's language is neither Igboid or Ijoid. Ogbia language is a stand alone language and has other smaller language affiliated to it. It is the biggest of all the Central Delta languages.

@General Ditari

President, Nairaland Ijaws.
this is why the people of Rivers state dislike you riverine people.

Their tribalism, ethnic and political division is worse than the Fulani's.

So you people own Rivers State, yet the Ikwerres ruled you for 16 years, Ikwerre Governor and Ikwerre minister.

This is the problem with a riverine man in Rivers State, Ethnic division.

The riverine areas of Rivers state are not very well populated like the upland and even that area has Igbo groups sandwiched among them. Igbo speaking groups are comfortably the majority in the state and can decide to keep the governorship for as long as they like. I don't subscribe to that though.
Besides, the other ethnic groups apart from the Ijoid ones aren't really keen with the Ijaws given the history of Ijaw leadership during the old rivers state politics.
