Anyway yea that's my pix.just posted to butress the point about the jetty stuff.gudnyt

basisop:

Hence, the man and name Adetokunbo is simply saying that Ade is from Europe? Am I correct?

Adadio: The full stuff is "Okrika wake Up"It was a derogatory call on half clad Okrika men in those days to embrace modernity by wearing western style
Second hand clothes.The major dealers on second hand clothes were Igbo.Good business I must say cos my uncle was involved.

Kamanda:

On this Okrika Issue,I am still waiting for my friend to pick my call-I am sure he has the REAL answer.

But Meanwhile,

I value the fact that you honoured my genuine intentions with a reply.

This goes a long way to butress my point that you are a highly marriageable material with all the required requirements.Your Beauty alone makes me believe your parents were confirmed Boko Haram because You are The Bomb.

On the issue of wild oats,never you worry about children popping out from everywhere and never bother to compare me with that Coconut Head called 2face.This is because I have always played safe with my Cond..handy 247(Even FIFA nearly give me fair play award)
So try PM me and let's get jiggy With It like Will Smith.

Yours- Still In Love,

Kamanda Zamunda Esq.

Afam4eva:
I've always been confused about Okrika people. I had an Okrika neigbour in PH when i was younger who spoke unadulterated Igbo and no, he did not learn it. It was his language and so, i'm wondering whether there are Okrika people that speak Igbo as their language. What is the language spoken in Okrika?

FECOSON: Who gave secondhand cloths Okrika in Nigeria?

1 shortblackboy: see story ! Okrika people don dey wear western cloths before ur igbo ancestors ever saw a whiteman.s

barcanista: Its very ubiquitous for Okrikans to be fluent in igbo language. My parents speak igbo well. But our Own Language is Okrika.

Afam4eva:
Is Okrika a dialect of Ijaw?

barcanista: IJAW is the name of The Entire Kingdoms. Okrika is a Kingdom in Ijaw Kingdom. Also in Ijaw kingdom is Kalabari etal. Okrika is the both A kingdom and equally a dialect

Afam4eva:
Sorry for the many questions...Can you communicate effectively with an Ijaw person from Bayelsa?

Okrika is actually a mixture of massively bastardize Igbo language and Kalabari (Ijaw), but the later is greater.
Rebisi Ikwerre can actually communicate with an Okrika man.
Amadi-Ama is a perfect example. It is an Okrika town, but you can see the "Amadi" which is an Igbo name and "Ama" used as suffixes in many Ijaw towns e.g Koluama, Kaiama, Obuama etc. Okrika is believed by some to be the land where Osus from Igboland came and settled with the natives who were sparsely populated as at then, and they were named "Osuama", but their was intermarriage between the two as the natives found their visitors beautiful for marriage and didn't have any law that discriminates any set of people. Don't be surprised (like Ibime have said) that many people who parade themselves as Okrikans aren't if you check their root. Even Ibime himself.
Me, i'm thinking Ibime's fore father was one of the Orlu deportees

barcanista: Eze promisf pls hide your ignorance. Sayin Okrika is a mixture of Kalabari and igbo is 1 FAT LIE. idiot boy. Okrika is NEVER Kalabari, the Igbos that came to settle wit us are 90 Percent slaves and 10 percent traders. Yet we still have indigenous Okrika. i am from Owolomebiri I'm a full-blooded Okrika man. i agree that Amadiama,Mbaama,Kalio etc were igbo immigrants.

Ibime:

You are efulefu. How did Igbo turn Bonny, Kalabari and Okrika? Majority of these Kingdoms are made of people who once called themselves Igbo. All na trade carry them go, no be so?

Imanuelle: Ask the okrika people of rivers state.

The name dates back to the colonial times,

when the white visitors dashed people from okrika clan, their used clothes, in the guise of missionary welfare packages.



The smell, be like goat armpit.

barcanista: boy don't say what you don't know. There are indigenous Okrikans and there are those who were brought from igboland as slaves. I am a full-blooded Okrikan.

qplus: If u ask me, na who I go ask ?

erudite scholar: My dad told me that when the white men brings the cloth to nig, they bring it through a small port in okirika in Rivers state. Okirika shld be in rivers or bayelsa now. He kept telling us the same history till he died cos his family traded on okirika in lome and cotonoue.

Ekans: I bet #1000, no one will get the answer right.

lorretta u: it's actually true.that's the town where I did my NYSC.I asked around and got the same response you did.anyway okrika is like the second richest or thereabout L.G.A in nigeria cos of their excess oil.and they have a jetty where stuff like that used to be brought in from.before it became monopolised by oil dealers.
