Ilaje44:


Hello young man, there are two Ijo groups in Ondo state. The Apois and the Arogbos. Of these two, the Arogbos are more Ijo than the Apois. Apoi people are Ijo only in name. They do not speak a language resembling Yoruba, but indeed a dialect of the Yoruba language similar to Ilaje and Ikale. Strictly speaking, only the Arogbos have much in common with the other Ijo groups from Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers.

IGBOPRINCE:
if your maternal grandfather married 13wives, that one no concern me, but the most important thing is that, you have accepted that [s]most okrikan great grand mothers re igbos.[/s] Am here to set the record straight for readers.
Thank q

TonyeBarcanista:

Rubbish! Which 55% Igbo? So you mean Okrikans didn't marry from other Ijaw clans and amongst themselves? You Igbos are just too funny! The % of non Ijaws that are married to Okrika men is not up to 15%. That is from Igbo, Ogoni, Ikwerre, Ibibio, Efik, Urhobo etc. Why una like to lie to unaselves?
Na where for Okrika kingdom wey Igbo is widely spoken? You de mistake Okrika for Nnewi abi na Onitsha? You and Afam sabi lie.
FYI: My uncle is actually the voice of Koniama(if you have a clue) .... My maternal grandfather was a head of Canoe House.... My Parternal Greatgrandfather was also a head of Canoe house. Don't think I'm a novince when it comes to okrika kingdom and Ijaw nation. Btw... I no lost for Lag/FCT, I do visit.
Stop Attachment!! Lemme make a confession, my maternal grandfather(a very great man) married over 13 wives, one is Igbo, one from Emohua (Ikwerre) and one is from Ogoni. The rest are from Okrika, Kalabari, Ubani and other Ijaw clans.

Mr Bacanista, chek this thread https://www.nairaland.com/2689240/nigeria-tribal-war-looms-edo

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?

Wizprodigy:

Yep but only in ika L.G the remaining 99% of akwa ibom is ibibio so mr tonye no space remain for land grabbing. This is Aks not rivers gerrit.

TonyeBarcanista:

Google the emboldened....

Also add Eastern Ibeno people

IGBOPRINCE:


Anyway, what I am saying is that, they should try and put more efforts on one central language just like the way the igbo did.
this one you said okrikans see themselves first as okrikan and 2nd as ijaw, you sound like mr spokesman of okrika people,
Don't forget, you don't speaks for them all and everyone differs from you with different views. Remember you don't stay in okrika neither in portharcourt but you stay in abuja.

Ijo is not an ethnic group. Ijo is derived from Jos as early Portuguese to Bight of Biafra named people living at the banks of river. It is the same derivation that gave rise to the so-called Brass people and in this case Brass was a salt-making device or plate.

coolscott:

[size=14pt]Please take a look at the area that the Portuguese called Biafra. You can find this map on the University of Princeton's website today[/size]

spanishkid:
pls tonye stop replying these morons. They're very irrelevant. SS has spoken. Let's see how they'll force us into their Biafra project.

coolscott:

[size=15pt]Tonyebarcanista tells you the inclination of his people and you say he doesn't speak for them all. You, who do not come from there at all, how many of them do you have the right to speak for?[/size]

IGBOPRINCE:
why did you have to open a thread like this when you re too weak to reply us.
Next find sth doing or better than this.

spanishkid:
Hahaha. See this one. If not for the new rule on nairaland, people like you no reach na? I personally chased lygn19 and more than 7 other igbo nairalanders out of nairaland. Shouldn't you be out there stealing or something?

spanishkid:
bro stop answering that guy. Aren't you surprised that every nigerian has one negative to say about them? Imagine if biafra had succeed during the war. The marginalization of SS would have been epic. Those who don't know me are very quick to call me a tribalist but I'm far from a tribalist. I've lived amongst the igbos before. I had my bachelor's and masters degree in Canada but still came to Nigeria to partake in the Nysc scheme. Though I wasn't posted to a school or ministry but where I lived was a compound mainly inhabited by Corp members who 85% of them were igbos. Bros I got to see them for who they truly are. Though not all of them but more than half have this mentality that they were born to dominate everywhere they go. They have no respect for the host community. It got so bad that they landlord even refunded some of them and evicted them from the house. Do you know that they the king of that community had to intervene when the community boys wanted to break their heads. Bro doesn't it amaze you that they can migrate to another man's land and call it no man's land? If you give an igbo man an inch he will take a mile. They can't be trusted.

spanishkid:
I've come to realise how difficult life could be being an igbo man. Which Akwa Ibom and Cross River are you talking about? The one in your erosion ravaged communities or what? This is 2016. Wake up.

IGBOPRINCE:
another land grabber. Pls dey your lane biko

Wizprodigy:
Please and please, there are no ijaws in akwa ibom state, talk more of cross river. The only distinct tribe in akwa ibom is igbo and they are only found in ika L.G. Google can be your friend.

Nwoke stop arguing with that tonyebarcainsta bastard. I keep telling you people that monkey has a personality diaorder. He so fuvked up in the brain, he twist whatever reality to fit his bleeped up mentality. The guy needs severe help.

You can argue till next year, he'll never stop trying to land grap. He did it with ndoki, even with multiple links and ndoki's Facebook page where they themselves spoke on that matter, the severeally deranged fool is still today land grabbing their land. Everyone knows ibeno are ibibio. Heck I know this personally cause I know someone from there. Stop arguing.

Just do like I do whenever their Bini cousins try to steal aniomaland, defend your land with all your might and tell them to leave NL and come steal land in real life. You'll be waiting for them

So there are Igbos in akwaibom...
Wow... Learnt something new today...

coolscott:

[size=13pt]Unfortunately, the only modern day land-grabbers known and recognized in Nigeria today are Igbos. You cannot wish a different view of the issue into reality. You know what they say about wishes and horses[/size]

IGBOPRINCE:
I ve heard that there is a small portion of igbos indigenes in ika local gvt area but I am not too sure about them since I ve not seen any link to prove it.

But that of ukanafun local gvt of akwa ibom is certain to me.

Let me call on pezienza, he may have the link to prove it.

IGBOPRINCE:
