Ibime:

^^^Is Rudi Giulliani American or Italian?

Dede1:

There is Umu-Okirika in Mbaise and it could have been the original migratory point of cross section of people in the present-day Okirika. My source informed that the people of Canoe Houses came with Europeans as porters. The majority of the people were drawn from ethnic groups along the Gold Coast.

ow11:

How long would you hold on to this untruth? You have been corrected before. . . .Okrika is actually Wakrike which means 'We are not different'. UmuOkrika is probably just a mere coincidence. Maybe you should change your source. . .Don't you think?

Abagworo:

@dede1

You should update your geography well.osisioma in which ariaria is located is bounded on the north by isialangwa,west by omuma,right by aba north and obingwa,south by ugwunagbo.eberi is the headquaters of omuma and yes people live there as a part of aba.

Lol @ Komando. Obu nwa amutara na away match.

Dede1:

Bros, I think you have gone too far if you think that Ariaria Market situated along Fox road in Eziukwu Aba and did not pass Unungasi is in Osisioma. By the way, Ariaria Market did spread to PH-Aba Express way talk-less of Eberi Omuma. Even the Railway tracks did not bisect Eberi Umuma. The inhabitants of Eberi travelling from Aba, on train, must disembark at Ogwe and when travelling on cars could disembark at Ogwe or Obuehie.

What makes you think that the okirika in Rivers in more euthentic than the umuokirika of Mbaise, or just a mere coincedence?
If you want to play the my-tribe-is-more-euthentic-than-your-tribe game, then someone from Mbaise could easily say that their own Okirika is the original

Dede1:

It is very funny if you think I should believe such crap as Wakrike for Okirika especially when it is coming from a person who has made name on changing the names of places. Why have you not informed us that Bonny is neither Ijo nor Igbo but a bastardized Ngwa word, Ubani?

ow11:

You misunderstand me. That town has always been known as Wakirike. Infact in a dialogue in the local lingo, the village is known as kiri-ke. Okrika is probably the Anglicised version or something else.

naijaking1:

Many cultures in Nigeria are paterilinial in inheritance, so if your paternal g-g-great grand father is Igbo, then it's likely you're Igbo no matter whatever type of cultural socialization was brought about by your maternal linage. This rule may be the reverse in situations where matrilinial inheritance is the case(I don't know about Ijaw).

komando:

You have vindicated the position that Igbos mixed with the Ijaws in many kingdoms: for example King Jaja, our own Ow11 on nairaland a.k.a Prince Uwakwe, and perhapse you.

Haha haha , just as I thought you picked up on Opara Ndoli

Andre Uweh:

On a very serious note, Okrika people are not Igbo, but KALABARI. There might have been Igbo blood in them but they are not Igbo neither is their first language and names Igbo.

komando:

Apologies though for mixing you up with Ibime.

komando:

I hope you are learning. . . Read up Andre Uweh and mrmayor's posts. PS I thought Ibime was the one with the Uwakwe relationship OR in your usual style of make belief have decided to tar records. . .At least this one is written.

Bk babe trying to be polite and objective.
