It is always very good to know one's tribe and culture. Anything about my people raises my curiosity and I want to know more. By the way, I love the Efiks and Ibibios alot . I am currently in one of your cities and your people are one exciting lot. I've learnt alot about the Eket, Annang, Oron, Ibibio, Efik, Qua, and Efut people.


Agbon is a subgroup of Urhobo. It is very close to the Agbarho central Urhobo dialect. Agbon is in Ethiope-East LGA of Delta State. We are ruled by a king known as Ovie of Agbon. The LGA headquarters is incidentally our traditional headquarters and that is a place called Isiokolo. The major towns include Okpara-Inland, Okpara-Waterside, Eku, Kokori, Ovu, Igun, Orhoakpor, etc. I am from Okpara-Inland.

AjaanaOka:


Strange. Are you Oza? The Oza I know is more or less a dialect of the Bini language.

saintkeppy:
. Wow! U knw a lot about ma pdople? U even knw Efut lol they are 1 of the cameroon immigrants just like the Qua Nation of the Ejagham stock. we have the larger Efut ethnic group in that country. ...Which of the town do u reside currently?

tosinjay:
The list is not even close to being complete, edo state have several languages, maybe the most in Nigeria sef. Although mine is there. Owan Edo... I know myself as Ora, not Owan. Owan is like recognized as lga

TheArchangel:
Ne kwanu anya. Egbema of Imo and Egbema of Rivers which was separated by an imaginary line because of oil.


Abeg no make I vex for you sir. Which kain Egbema ijaw? What the fvck.

YourNemesis:


But your name is Tosin na.

Dainikel:
I have always said it that Nigeria & Papua New Guinea are the worst hit countries of the tower of babel drama!

tosinjay:

Doesn't Mata na, we sabongida Ora sometimes have Yoruba names maybe due to some reasons however we don't speak Yoruba my native name is Ehigbae, can choose to shun the Yoruba name or use it. I personally chose it as my first name.

IkpuMmadu:
They called etche and ukwuani a tribe .....they are Igbo


These are sub groups ..

Just like isoko and urhobo..


Esan and Benin are different tribes from Edoid not the same as your ika or Igbo thing.
...



The list is clannish

YourNemesis:


Wow cool... Maybe it is because you share boundary with Yoruba communities abi?
Personally if you told me to chose to chose between Tosin and Ehigbae.... It will surely be Tosin.
What does Ehigbae mean?

tosinjay:

We don't share boundaries, it just occurred to me that it could be from my family Ozolua, most of the extended folk i know of have Yoruba names too. Sight Modupe Ozolua, she's not Yoruba at all. Are you Yoruba?

I shuttle between Uyo and Calabar on a weekly basis but I am currently in Uyo. I have been to Ikot-Ekpene, Odukpani, Eket, Oron, Abak, Ikot-Abasi, Calabar Municipal, Calabar South, parts of Akpabuyo LGA, Ukana, etc... I am almost an indigene and all these in less than a year here.


Nice to meet you!

Miscellaneous:
op..... you didn't mention a tribe called "ekpeye" in rivers. I av only seen one girl from that tribe. She was beautiful but was too desperate to become my girlfriend. I loved her though but she always felt I have other girls even when I don't and so, we had a falling out before I made a move. Please, add them to your list on another occasion. Thanks

362 Yoruba
Kwara, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Kogi

Fulani is not in the list, so how come they are one of the major tribes in the north?
Did you omit it?

Bubu will not be happy about this.

tosinjay:

Me i no know all those ones oo... i just know it's lapese people that have link with yoruba as most of their names sound yourbaish.. I know of Ajulo family, Adesunloye etc. For ora i no know but we speak ora which isn't close to Yoruba language. Meaning of Ehigbae is like Oluwatobi in Yoruba

YourNemesis:


Olright. Nice name.
I was right about the boundary thing. I think Lampese are called Unemes.
