So much generational lies on this thread. Kalabari has no meaning in Ijaw.

Kalabari old name was New Kalabar. The area first settled by the Igbos with Igbo kings. Then the Efik influx brought the Efik into prominence in the area and thus the area was recorded in their name by the seafarers : Kalabar (New Kalabar). The agressive boat dwellers known as the Ijaw came last. Over centuries displacing the Igbo and Efik populations and absorbing the rest.

They displaced and almost totally absorbed the Igbos at Okrika. Okrika's Igbo heritage only remains only minute traces. They have almost completed absorbed the Igbos of Nembe. The Oru remnants of the Igbo race at Nun are gone forever. Completely absorbed.

This tendency to revise history is very bad from the boat dwelling Ijaws. Saying Kalabari means Kala and Bari is a devilish falsification. Kalabari's origin points to Igbo and Efik. Though they are nearly completely Ijawnized now.

Your lies and frustrations on ijaw area end here. E no reach ijaw land.e no change anything.

Mr man! There's nothing like igbo people in Okrika, any Igbo you see in Okrika are either descendant of slaves or are foreigners living there. There are no indigenous igbos in Okrika be guide.

Historical facts from 200 years before prove this to be false.

If that your screenshot is true,how come there's little influence of Igbo culture in Okrika?

It remains still in the language and the preference for the okpuagu. As well as some celebrations and festivals like the Odum festival. See attached.

A screenshot is what you want to use to claim another person's land?

Such a pity!!!

Please what is the meaning of Bakana? I'm from Bayelsa state and when I asked my father the meaning he said he doesn't know thar it was his father's name.
