AkwaIbomMan:
Eastern Obolo is Ijoid.
They speak Andoni which is a dialect of Ijaw language

MetaPhysical:


Ogiso itself were chiefs sent from Ife.

Anything South of Benue took its root in Ife....including Igbo.

CrossRiver and Akwa should have been in Cameroon because they are geneticcally non-Ife. Everything else in the South had footprint in Ife.

Dont make me throw the history book ar you.

Dedetwo:


You are seriously delusional. Even Yari.ba whose origin was located Oyo Ile, 30 miles north of Ilorin would have issues telling people of Ife as their origin.

Dedetwo:


Niger Delta that only exists in your psychotic skull.

Blackking98:

Ibeno can't be counted as ijaw because the ibibio influence there overrides ijaw influence. I know ibeno peeps who speak only ibibio and answer ibibio names.
Is ifum udoh an ijaw name?
Check ibeno platforms on FB and you'll see most of them answering bassey,udoh,Edet,ekpo,etc and those are definitely not ijaw names.

Tuscanao97:
Ibeno and Obolo are not originally Ibibio. what happened to Ibeno and Obolo is what happened to places like Ugep , Ikom and most of central Cross river where they bear Efik-like names and understand and speak Efik maybe because of some Efiks who settled there 400 years ago . It is not uncommon to hear Efik /ibibiod sounding names in central cross river like Abang,Essien ,Bassey,Ekong,Ekom, Oyom,Ekpang,Edim,Ekeng,Etta,Effiong,Anam,Mmoh, etc.

Iamgrey5:
I doubt there's Ijaw in Cross river


Why you come dey write igbo sub tribes as a tribe on their own?

What of Akoko in Edo?

Blackking98:

I live in cross river and you're a fat liar. Efiks don't even live In close by biase and akamkpa is the same southern Cross river but jump to to ugep or ikom? Clown. My mother is Efik so this your lies are dirty. Ikom and ugep people still speak their native language and those that answer similar names with us arent even up to 20%. There are no efiks in central Cross river. Meanwhile 90% of ibeno people answer ibibio names and more than 70% speak ibibio as their first language. Stop spreading misinformation.

Tuscanao97:
You have never been to central cross river man . I know many people from central Cross river who bear Efik like names ,atleast 40 percent. and i dont even know if the names have different meaning in their language. whether Efiks are there or not the influence is certainly strong just as ibibio influence is strong in Ibeno and Obolo. Efik does not have large population like Ibibio that's why it's not as strong in central cross river as ibibo is strong in ibeno and Obolo.
and who said they dont speak their native language in central Cross river. but they understand and speak Efik as second language . There are Efiks in Biase and Akamkpa,just not the majority.

Blackking98:

My mum is Efik bro. Efiks hardly spread out of their domain in large numbers unlike their ibibio and Annang cousin's. Those central Cross riverians still despise Efiks but to a lesser extent than they despise Akwa ibomites.

MetaPhysical:


Bini itself is Yoruba. Unless you want count Bini as foreigner.

IkwerrePikin:



There is different between NDDC states and Niger Delta.

Crude oil was first discovered in the Niger delta that is why the commission is named Niger delta development commission.

I expect govt to renamed it to Oil Producing State Development Commission as other states outside the Niger delta region now have crude oil.

rosebowl01:


But Cross River is not touched by the Niger’s (the river) delta? Akwa Ibom too.

IkwerrePikin:


The Niger Delta is the delta of the Niger River sitting directly on the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean

I don’t know why you igbos are bordered about the Niger delta region you do not belong to.

All Niger delta states Is on the gulf and have access to the Atlantic Ocean.

Tuscanao97:
I don't think you have been around Cross river . I have been aroundand can categorically tell you that Efiks are liked across the state , only Akwa ibomites are not liked for a reason .I'm Efik and even most Efiks secretly don't like Akwa ibomites(Anang Ibibio Oron) and want them to go because they think they are too much of a burden ,especially with regards to their population. before state creation Ibibios use to be abused constantly and told to go . I agree that the rest of Cros river hate akwa ibomites with a passion.

Blackking98:

And you think atam people love you more than Akwa ibomites do ?
Efiks are the largest ethnic group in Cross river and only ejagham come close but yet the govenor is not Efik, deputy govenor is not Efik, speaker of house is not Efik, SSG is not Efik, cheif of staff is not Efik but your enemies are Akwa ibomites?
Efiks enjoyed majority status when it was old Cross river because of ibibio numbers but now you're a helpless majority because every other tribe in Cross river bands against u but your hatin Akwa ibomites
Anyway Efik hatin Akwa ibomites aren't even up to 10% so continue living in your euphoria.
You have many Akwa ibomites in CRS government who claim Efik because they grew and live in Efik land and efiks are cool with it, Continue your self hate and don't fight the atam people marginalizing u.

Like what percentage of Cross River do Efiks make up. If they're the majority, shouldn't they have more voting power?

Who told you that Andoni is a dialect of Ijo? When fools are ashamed of their ancestral background they start to use silly state names as the mockery handle name.

Blackking98:

CRS has 18 lgas with 5 being efik. They have the Highest number of lgas of any ethnic groups in CRS but the politics is thst the other tiny ethnic groups band together to fight them so during elections it's 5 vs 13. Instead of them to cut alliances with other ethnic groups I don't know what they're doing. Their only Saving Grace is that Akwa ibomites are still in large numbers in southern Cross river so the atam people thread with caution.

Tuscanao97:
That is silly talk ,who said I hate akwa ibomites? why can't Akwa ibomites stay in their own state ? they are too much in other states and it's not like they are opening busineses like igbos , they are almost always a burden .
There's no ethnic group called Atam. what you call Atam is just many tribes in cross river trying to get a piece of the pie . Atleast the capital is in Efikland and the next governor will be Efik based on Agreement. Efik governed for 8 years 99 to 2007. The immediate past chief judge was Efik. there are many other tribes in the state so I don't see any marginalization there . EFik are not majority , just privileged to have the capital and influence. i don't think you have been around Cross river much.
And there are only two akwa ibomites selected as commisioners . Very soon you will say Obong of Calabar is Akwa ibomite and Efiks are cool with it .

Tuscanao97:
This is silly ,just stop spreading false information, you have not been around the entire state to know anything . your view is based on Calabar South .
do you know even in tiny abi local government there's Ikwo tribe which extends to Ebonyi and another igbo tribe . but in southern Cross river it's basically Efik senatorial district. There are indigenous Efiks in Biase and Akampka even though they are not majority it's stil considered Efik territory.
Ukwa Eburutu for example is an Efik clan in Biase .
