I want to all so state here that “okrika wake up” is a derogatory word historically used by the ikwerre/igbos (which am 1one of) and I do not condone or encourage such languages. How ever all asunndry should not here that port harcourt is an ikwerre land and not okrika/ijaw (but contains some ijoid residents especially in waterside neigbhourhood) just like asaba is anioma land not ijos.

I have watched with great concern as individual supposedly from orkrika/ogu/bolo/abuloma have been dishing out false and malicious essays about the wakrike people on this forum (nairaland) which if not checked could lead to tensions and hostilities in rivers state. So when I got the assignment which involves visiting Alakiri gas plant in okrika, i couldn't resist doing a fact-finding tour of Okrika. I with the company of my colleague left ndoki street borokiri port-portharcourt down to marine-base area where we took a boat ride. I hated boat rides but it was the life-jacket made available to us that reassured me of my safety,the ride was bumpy and treacherous mostly because of several debris along the sea(water way),there was a huge sigh of relief when we finally arived okrika jetty. HERE ARE THE FACTS: . . 1.Okrika is an island community some kilometers offshore rivers state. 2. The native languagues are a.krike(1st languague for many) and b.igbo(1st languague) 3. Okrika people see themselves as wakrike ethnic nationality,most will currently not identify as ijo(an waridabo affirmed this) during my visit at azuabie. 4. Okrika people are of two stocks a. Koniju(fisher-men) ancestrially more riverrine/ijo b. Tuboniju(traders) ancestrially more igboid/igbo. 5. My final point hers is that okrika is a town founded on migration and it is certainly not kolokuma/opokuma in bayelsa state or nnewi in anambra state. . . BY: Joe Eze (from oyigbo riverstate)

Okrika has a sizeable part of Port Harcourt but city expansion went towards Ikwerreland and made the Okrika part look small.

In all, can you estimate the percentage of wakirike native speakers vs Igbo native speakers? Also can you estimate how many that speak both?

Nwokem, I'm beginning to suspect you are tonyebarcanista. Today you are Ndoki-Igbo, the next day you are Okrika, the day after that, you are Ikwerre.

Very shortly Tonyebarcanista will reply to this your message, of course bursting you as a fake and giving the impression that Igbos are into adopting false identities on nairaland

mr ijo man,we welcomed pro-biafra protesters in iriebe/rumukwerushi and obigbo which are ikwerre and ndoki neighbouring communities respectively. From your comments if u are really an ijoid man then you are either from bayelsa or warri mainstream ijo(gbaramatu) and not rivers(okrika/kalabari/abual-odual)

My name is Eze joseph timipre. I am from umusia afam OYIGBO LGA of rivers state(highest oil producing LGA and home of AFAM power plant). Why timipre(well my mum is okrika-ijaw from ogu in ogu-bolu LGA of rivers state

Tunami:
let me contribute abuloma is part of okrika but their language is different from okrika bt they also speak okrika and i think they have the largest expanse of land in okrika maybe because of their unity and according to history and some people believe that abuloma people originated and migrated from abua to the present day abuloma.

No. He needs to add a little "Igbo flavour" to it.

Something like: " Half of Okrika is Igboland".

Do that and see the hawks and vultures feast on this thread as the pages elongates and mod moves it to front page.

Thank me later.
