johnbosco97:stop talking nonsense. ur not kalabari and u know nothing about the people. modified: on a second thought maybe sombody needs to clarify for you the difference between ijaw used in the broader sense and ijaw or ijo used as a tribe in bayelsa who are part of the broader ijaw ethnic group 3 Likes |

Was at Buguma Kingdom last Friday for an IYA marriage of my brother-in-law at the Town Council Building and was stunned at the existence of such a close knit settlement with bubbly economic activities and residents. The architecture of the buildings in mixed precolonial and colonial themes was fascinating. Roads were interlocked and main entrance doors of buildings opened directly to the narrow alley but well organised and maintained roads. I loved the scenery deeply. The people are extremely accommodating. The preservation of cultural values and tradition is amazing. Was surprised that a traditional council of chiefs existed to administer marriages and issue certificates. As a Yoruba indigene I was quite impressed. The process of my traditional marriage to my beloveth Yoruba wife did not have such related connotations. I love Buguma and look forward to visit soon and possibly make a documentary. To think that the kingdom existed since the 15th century and transportation has been by water until 2001 was a shocking revelation. The central government should make efforts to connect all related kingdoms that are yet to have connecting bridges to land. The 40 mins drive from Choba was worthwhile! 7 Likes |

And those calling asari an ex militant should always remember that one one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Yes many of the militant actions are condemnable but it did bring attention to the people of the Niger delta 4 Likes |

whoever knows dokubo should tell him that islam over rides tradition, especially when that tradition is adulatory [this includes native/cultural festival], a thing that Allah forbids. may Allah purify us all from adulatory of all kinds. amina yaRabb. |

As an Okrika man I really must point out that the Kalabari people are sui generis and are noted for having a very rich cultural heritage that has stood the test of time. But one aspect I think the kalabari council of Chiefs should take a dispassionate look at is the expensive bridal ritual that is associated with getting married to a kalabari woman. I remember with nolstagia when my uncle got married to his kalabari wife. My uncle spent close to N2 million in the traditional marriage. Henessy was bought for each of the chiefs numbering close to 28 in number. And the kalabari people have a system whereby a father and all his son's could be a chief in one House, unlike the oKrika system where we only have one chief that heads a war canoe house. 5 Likes |
