Ileke-IdI:

That's expected, for Eastern Nigerian cultures to intermingle. Intertribal marriages plenty for that side.

Ijaw-girl,
Imiegbam

for all those Useless people talking trash about ijaw tribe and culture or having similarities with the Europeans, it is simply because of the very cordial and long relationship we had with Brits and Portuguese in which we shared alot and had to learn  few necessary WAYS of "expressing" our Culture. we didn't necessarily take  the white man's culture.

Let he whose culture has never learnt from another forever Remain "BOKO HARAM" (Western Education is forbidden)

i'm not sure what you mean by the top hat has nothing to do with europeans.

You do know those hats were sometimes payment for slaves right?

Besides i i believe they were used in liberia as well by the american returnees.

And what does it matter? its part of our culture and you can do nada about it

Is the ijaws the same as the cross river state people? My aunt married last year(she is from cross river state) and her husband is Igbo but she wore what I am seeing here, the attire, including the hat in the second to last photo, beaded walking stick and heavy bead necklaces.
