Inferority complexe is worrying them,thé one that lossed élection yo thé current Bayelsa state governor is called Lyon,they have Liverpool as names, Briggs,

Actually all of them were slaves. that's the name given to them by their slave masters for easy headcount as they were bee shipped off to Europe and the rest. The ones here are the ones already name for exportation but fate made them free due to abolition.

mostly all are slaves.

one of my friend's surname is Briggs...she's from Abonnema in Rivers state. I guess OP is right.

Edo lazy and weak youths. Useless youths who only think of cultism when other youths are thinking of making money, an average Edo youth is thinking of which cult group to join. Omo Irankiran olofo didan oloribu omo mashanfani

With this kind of ignorance you are definitely not from Rivers.
Go ask your parents where you are from, because they lied to you.

Abua/Odual, Degema, Asari Toru, Akuku Toru, Bonny, Opobo, Okrika and Engenni people in Ahoada West bear those kind of names.
Andoni people to an extend do as well.



The people that dont are mostly the upland people ie Onelga, Ekpeye, Ikwerre, Etche and Omuma, Oyigbo and to some extend the Ogonis.

If you are Ikwerre as you claim, your people do not bear such names. These are names common with Riverine people. Or are the Riverine people not part of Rivers state?


Understand what the OP is trying to say. Must not necessarily be the ones he listed but the message he is trying to pass.

Yes I know of several blacksons, Douglas and Petersons from Rivers.

lexy2014:


Ijaw people don't bear western surnames. It's kalabari people who western surnames

How do you explain JAMES MANAGER? Senator of Delta south? Is he also Kalabari?

Guide777:
When shortsighted slaves are willing to do anything to remain yoked to their masters chain, they will willingly forfeit their birth right, custom and cultural heritages, everything including the future of generations unborn.
It's not just people from Ijaw, and Efik ethnic stock that fell victim etc but it cuts across all part of Nigeria and Africa. Europeans and Arabs couldn't have succeeded in enslaving us through various guises such as Colonialism and Neo Colonialism if Africa have resisted by rejecting their religions, culture and thoughts.
Look at China and India, two nations which fell into foreign influence as Africa but they have made a difference by resistance to assimilate outside culture and religion.. Look how far they have gone.
But look at African nations that their citizens had gave up their language and changed their family names to christianized and islamized names and see where they are now.
The Ancient Igbos said, Nku di N'mba na-"eghere Mba Nri. Meaning: the firewoods available in any village is capable of cooking the food in that village.
Africa should return to her roots and use what it has to get what it want.

Africa should return to its religion, it's economy, its sociology, its technology, its medicine, its Education and in fact all its heritage. That is where the redemption lies.
All what we think Africa gained from all its various invaders such as Europeans and Arabs who stole its resources are the same thing a rat gained by eating the bait on a trap before it clamp on it.
This is my opinion.

Lovely piece from you.
However, just for the records, India & China were not completely free from the influence of the White & Arab Invaders.

Today there are over 500 million muslims in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka e.t.c, many of whom have completely lost and even resent their Hindu/Buddhist origins, roots and past. This was what lead to the division of India.
English is now a very big threat to the native languages of India. However I agree that India did better than Africa. Especially as the Hindus still retained their native names and to a large extent retained their traditional attires.

Chinese people on the other hand have abandoned their traditional attires completely in favour of Western clothes. We are partially better than them in this aspect.
They did better than us in retaining and repackaging their Chinese traditional medicine and the language. Lots of them also bear English names too, though not as bad as Africa.

Junior66:

Where I served in Taraba also has people bearing more hilarious names. I have seen names like Clever, Honest, Costly, Mechanic, Abstain, Adviser, Tailor, Calculator, Andrawus, Jepson, Artillary, Bethuel, Charisma, Commando, consman, Increase, Nice, Activities etc. I get shocked each time I see these names.

Seriously, these crazy Western names are now penetrating we the Middlebelt people, especially Taraba, Benue, Plateau & Southern Kaduna. It is really shameful.

Iamgrey5:
How can you keep saying this nonsense with confidence?

How can they leave behind their first site of civilization to journey into an unknown place?

These are the oldest schools in Nigeria by the way..

(1) Baptist Academy, Lagos : 1855
(2) CMS Grammar School, Lagos: 1859
(3) Methodist Boys High School, Lagos : 1878
(4) Methodist Girls High School, Lagos : 1879
(5) Hope Waddell Training Institute, Calabar: 1895
(6) Saint Annes School, Ibadan : 1896

It's sad that Oneeast3 cannot differentiate between Christian missionaries, Slave traders and colonialists.
These are clearly 3 different categories of white people who came to Africa.
The Ijaws and other coastal tribes imbibed these silly Western names from the slavetrade era beginning in the 16th century, long before anything like colonialism or missionary arrival.

The Ijaws were the middlemen who facilitated this slavery business, hence they needed foreign Nick names easy for white people to pronounce.

The fulani name for Oyo
They gave you your name
They gave you an emir
They gave you your religion

Thanks for the corrections and for agreeing with me that China and India did better than us in retaining their heritage. And that I think was the reason they were more progressive than Africa economic wise.
Thank you. I appreciate your mature response which is quite rare here.
