Yes, faith and pride. this could be traced to the early Nigeria history when Calabar was the point and the surpression that followed with marginalisation and underating by those who beleived wisdom and power is only for the majority ethnic group in the country. Surpressing those they viewed as minorities with their God given wealth to to go underground. Call it a psycological strategy of ethnic cleansing, if you like.
I am not angry but just making a point.

Yeah Da Bassey,
Dnny, Don't allow them to intimidate you. There is strength in small but quality number. The whole majority of corrupt Nigerians can't match Don Duke's intelligence in governace.
Keep doing your best and gradually they will realise that they need the minorities in this notion called Nigeria.
The foolish ones walk away from goldLand because it looks hard to dig.
Keep the Flag flying. Even on this Nairaland don't you see how intelligent the minorities go about their posts and replies.

are cross river people igbos?
The answer to your question is that Akwa Ibom, which was carved out of cross river shares boudary with the Igbo people. But its so intresting to know that the Igbo people they share boundaries with have a total different language from them, amazing. And When the Calabar man speaks he kind of twists his tongue in a way that u wont find in any other Nigerian tribe. Like calling Champion, yampion. But I must say he is a very honest man. I sometimes take them to have descended from China, because those are the only people with such twisted tongue I can think of and level of honesty. |
