Eastern Obolo and Ibeno people of Akwa Ibom are what? You should learn how to READ and stop being clownish. That we don't beat our chest doesn't mean we don't knw our status.

You should stop dwelling in ignorance. I have advised you to make use of google. Do you think Obolo/Andoni is only in AKS? It is also in Rivers state. Have you bothered to ask where Western Ibeno is?


The Andoni are situated in present day Rivers and Awka-Ibom States. By the evidence of traditional history, the Andoni are descended from Ayama the son of Tara (Tarakiri) who was left with Kala-Okun at Igbedi creek. The migrating ancestors are mentioned as Asara or Asa founder of Asarama, Ifop, Edeh or Edabiri, Alama and Abah to name a few. They left the Igbedi creek area at an early stage taking with them the title \"Indo Oru\" which they remembered and gave to their priest rulers. The title \"Indo Oru\" was later corrupted to \"Ando Oru\", while during their sojourn NI was added to give the term \"Andoni Oru\". Leaving the central delta the early ancestors made their way through creeks and swamps felling trees to cross the waterways. They first encamped for sometime in the southeastern region before moving into the delta. Their first settlement was called Ayama after their ancestor. The site of Ayama was the site of Peterside in Ibani or Bonny town. They stayed here for centuries manufacturing salt for the interior markets before moving. It was from Ayama that Asarama (i.e. Asara \'s town) was founded. A second group moved on to the southern Cameroons and Calabar region. It was here that they inter-married with Bantu speaking people. Approximately around the 12th century AD these Andoni made a return journey into the Niger Delta and settled at Egwede, where they sited their national emblem called Oyobolo (Obolo). Further migration patterns were caused by the repeating conflicts with the Ibani (Beni or Bonny to Europeans), as a result of the slave raiding confusion of those times. From the site of Peterside they moved eastwards to the Rio Real, then to Asarama-Toru, then further east to Okoma the site, which is opposite the present town. Again we state that the old settlement was the site of Peterside in Bonny which was called Ayama (or old Asarama). Asarama being the oldest of the Andoni towns. And other Andoni towns including Ayangala, while Alabie was the other name for Egwede. In the 1940\'s the chief title of the Andoni native court judge was still Andoni Oru, acknowledging the ancestral connection to Indo-Oru the original title of father Ujo the ancestor of Ijo people. The Andoni no longer speak the original Ijo language. The foundation of Andoni is between 10th and 12th century AD

They have mixed ancestry bro and they intermarried with eket people and they also have their own internal language called ibeno.
I recently visited a place called upenekang in ibeno local gvt area, one of the elders told me, they have mixed ancestry from ijaws majorly,ghana and Cameroon.
Those days, the people of eket(ibibio) gave those tribes(ijaws,ghana) lands to fish, from there, instead of going back to their place to get a wife, they decided to pick a wife from eket. That was how few portion of ijaws came to settled down at ibeno. And if you go ibeno, you will see a giant mobil oil company there close to atlantic ocean.

They don't speaks ijaw language in ibeno but some forms of corrupted languages of eket,ijaws,ghana and cameroun cos if you asks them what language is that? They will tell you it s ibeno language.

Eastern obollo- from what I heard abt them, they re supposed to be in rivers state but they put some portion of them in akwa ibom state just like the igbos.

PS: There is nothing like "Ijaw language". Ijaw has no central language. I am Okrikan, our language is Kirike/Wakrike. It is similar to those in Western Ijaw like Kalabari and co. Ibeno is of Eastern Ijaw, the language is similar to that of Andoni(rivers state). The Apois(Ondo states) speak language that sound like Yoruba. Edwin Clark's dialect sound similar to Urhobo.

Ijaws are the riverine people of Southern Nigeria. They live by the waters cos they're mainly fishermen by tradition. Ijaws can be found in Bayelsa, Delta, Edo,Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Rivers, Ondo and even a fraction of them can be found in Benin Republic, Togo, Sierra Leone and Gabon. They're no doubt great travellers and very adventurous in nature.

Ijaws are one of the most detribalised ethnic groups in Nigeria. I remember when I was in Burutu last year, I was treated as one of them. One would not even be able to distinguish an indigene and myself cos I was treated like an indigene and given every privilege that was entitled to an Indigene. Whenever they go fishing, we were given fish and we always have fish pepper soup that day. The Chairman of that LGA always comes to check on us and even shares a drink with us. The youngest lawmaker in the history of Nigeria is an ijaw man by name Julius Pondi representing Burutu Federal Constituency. Ijaws are one of the most accommodating people in Nigeria and also ijaws are very brave. They're not afraid to take on anyone.

Someone on nairaland called ijaws land grabbers, boat dwellers, swamp settlers and drunken fishermen. How are ijaws land grabbers? Have they grabbed your land before? Ugomba should stop saying nonsense and calling my ijaw brothers land grabbers. Ugomba accused the ijaws of having an agenda. Please what agenda Ugomba? Why would ijaw want to grab your wastelands? Does your land have any economic value that ijaws would want to grab?

Its pathetic that ijaw people don't have one central language. Very soon, as time goes on. They won't see themselves as a brother nor a sister.

Just as your link trace the ibeno of akwa ibom to eastern obollo/andoni of rivers state. Funny enough, I met one eastern obollo woman in ibeno area then who told me they re not related to ibeno cos they don't have the same language and cannot understand themselves that their lifestyles is different from them and she s from eastern obollo, rivers state.
You guys should make efforts to create one central language.
Even the people of okrika where you came from see themselves more of igbo than ijaws cos their grand mothers re igbos.
Some of the people in okrika/ibeno/eastern obollo due to high level of ignorance don't even know they re partly ijaws .

Thats because you can't read.

1. Ibeno/Obolo People are basically of Andoni/Obolo origin(Akwa Ibom website)

"Ibeno people are basically of the Obolo/Andoni origin. The common dialect of Ibeno people is Ibeno/ Obolo language prominently spoken by Ibeno and Eastern Obolo people in Akwa Ibom State. The people also enjoy an active aquatic life. "

2. You aren't smart to see that Andoni people are also inRivers state. It is the home of Tele Ikuru, former Dep Gov of Rivers state and Uche Secondus, incumbent PDP agChairman. Lol
100% Ijaw.

U aren't Ibeno and you are arguing. I can bet that you are Ibibio. If eastern Obolo and Ibeno says that they are Ijaws, I wonder why you won't give up. Google should help you.

Where do you think Western obolo is? Who do you think the Andonis(Rivers state) are?

Its pathetic that ijaw people don't have one central language. Very soon, as time goes on. They won't see themselves as a brother nor a sister.

Just as your link trace the ibeno of akwa ibom to eastern obollo/andoni of rivers state. Funny enough, I met one eastern obollo woman in ibeno area then who told me they re not related to ibeno cos they don't have the same language and cannot understand themselves that their lifestyles is different from them and she s from eastern obollo, rivers state.
You guys should make efforts to create one central language.
Even the people of okrika where you came from [s]see themselves more of igbo than ijaws cos their grand mothers re igbos.
Some of the people in okrika/ibeno/eastern obollo due to high level of ignorance don't even know they re partly ijaw[/s]
Nawa o.
Nonsense! You didn't meet anybody. Which Okrika man or women told you is is more of Igbo than Ijaw? You and Afam with una lieeeees!

Okrika is 100% Ijaw of Western Ijaw clan. That's my hommie and stop talking nonsense. Okrikans see themselves first as Okrikans and next Ijaw. This is because Ijaw kingdoms are autonomous. Okrikand/Andoni are not "partly Ijaw", we are FULL Ijaw.


BTW: we also married from Calabar, Ikwerre, Ogoni, etc and not just Igbo. Make I no provoke o.
