Atulu Hausa.
Abum onye Igbo.
Kedu ihe akuziri gi n'ulo akwukwo ??
Igbo language bu asusu, ibo bu ndi si n'ala igbo.

Are you now convinced that I'm ibo ??

Igbo language is a language spoken by ibo people, ibo are the people from the igbo speaking tribe.

You're too young to understand, go consult your elders, they know better.

So no other tribes within Yoruba states. Lovely!!! Sometimes all these tribes bring confusion. My opinion sha!

fratermathy:


You are utterly misinformed. Okpe is a kingdom in URHOBO. However, there is another Isoko kingdom known as Okpe-Isoko. Isoko people are quick to claim Okpe as theirs due to the linguistic similarities. However, we all know that Isoko, Uvwie, Okpe, Erowa, etc, are all "culturally" Urhobos and this is the basis for my claim.


Other than the above, Okpe is listed as an Urhobo dialect everywhere as gazetted by Nigeria!

Btruth:
Where is Ijebu? This your list is not complete.

Team ijebu/Yoruba, Ogun State.

saintkeppy:
. The tribe is also found in Akwa Ibom State. He forgot to add Efut too to the list.

GossipHeart:


Go back to school

Lordmykel:
are you sure?? Akwa ibom has Ibibio not Efik. Yea Efut.. I live here at Efut Abua (howell)

TheArchangel:
I should've known that I am conversing with an uncouth pseudo-element devoid of sound argument.

. Yes sir, they are found in the communities along the Cross River Estuary, namely:

Uruan the craddle of Efiks,

Oku Iboku, Ikot Offiong, these communities boarders along the river near the Itu bridge along the Calabar-Odukpani-Itu Highway in Itu LGA

Note: Uruan & Itu shares boundary with Odukpani viz okurikang, mbarakom Ikoneto.

do u knw that according to Efik Tradition, an Uruan High chief from where Efik migrated from, must be present to witness the crowning &subsequently the enthronment of a New Obong of Calabar at Efe Asabo Esien Efik Itiaba (The python shrine of the 7clans of Efik)?

James Town, Akwa Obio Effiat, Ibuot Utan, Utan Brama, Inua Abasi, Okposo, Tom shot Island all in Effiat Clan whose clan head is chief Mathais Okon Nta in Mbo Local Govt. Area shares boundary with Ekpri ikang in New Bakassi & Akpabuyo LGAs of CRS

Note: James town was named after James Ekpo Bassey, the father of Late Bassey Ekpo Bassey, 4ma Calabar south chairman. James Town is in Ibaka, site for the proposed deep seaport.

Idua Assang whose clan head is chief Ekeng is in Oron Town, they are 1 of the efik clans (essien efik itiaba) that left calabar to their present location. They have Akwa Efe Ekpe (Ekpe society shrine) which is a tradition in Efik kingdom along Iyamba str. In Oron town. It takes 20mins by speed boat cruise to get to Idua clan from the jetty at Marina rd in calabar.
Noteable personality from Idua are chief Eyo Nsa Bassey, Antigha Eyo Bassey, Late Onyong Asuquo, Late Justice Nya Ebito he has just been buried in his residence last week at Idua, Oron Town. You knw Ebito street In Calabar?

Esuk Atabong, Ekeya, Obufi in Okobo LGA are the decendant of Efiks. Former minister of science&Tech, Prof. Ita Okon Bassey Ewa is from this axis. Even Mma Bakassi, Florence Ita-Giwa is from Atabong but claims Bakassi, maybe intrest
Note: All these communities speaks Efik, dress like Efiks during Traditional outings & also observe Efik Traditions.

A greater part of Itu & Uruan are Ibibio domininant though, The rest communities or clans are domiciled in Oro Nation, all in Akwa Ibom State.

About 2yrs ago, His Royal Majesty, Edidem Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu, the Grand Patriach of Efik kingdom & Obong of calabar, extended his hands of fellowship by inviting these clans to the "utomo obong" proceedings at his palace at Adiabo, and calls for Unity with other clans located in Cross River State.

murphyibiam15:

is it not same yoruba language ijebu and yoruba speak?

Pprovost:


There are so many dialects, clans and languages among the Yorubas that deserve a mention here because the groups are even more populated than some of those listed above eg Ijebu, Ondo, Oyo, Ijesha, Ife, Igbomina, Ilaje, Ekiti and many more.


Yorubas have a unifying Language though, and that is their biggest strength

murphyibiam15:

wao...it then means yoruba race is more diverse than i thought...what about those who cant speak the unifying yoruba language?

Pprovost:


The truth is, Yoruba is more of a nation than tribe. I have never seen a Yoruba person that can not speak/understand the central Yoruba ( I am not ruling out the possibility though). Maybe because Yoruba language (akooto ede yoruba) was made compulsory in all the primary and secondary school across the Yoruba land since independence.

Lordmykel:
this was quite lengthy, are you an Akwa Ibomite?
