So are Furo, Tekena and Ibikari Ijaw names?

Ever wondered why any Ijaw man that wants to Impersonate Ubani/Bonny for example always add "Pepple" to his name?
Infact these Ijaw don't even know anything about these people that's why the OP used "Boma" in regards to the BBN member with known Kalabari origin.
Apart from Boma, no Ijaw man can say another Kalabari name.
They don't speak the same language.
They don't bear the same name.
They don't have the same culture.
They don't have the same sacred things
They don't even look alike

theTranscriber:
we know
some Egun say they are Yoruba because of the mixing
but they are Fon (Dahomey)
they speak Fon (gbe)

Egun can claim Yoruba but can't claim Bini

Kalabari may claim Ijaw but they can't claim eboe
why?
because there's almost no connection

understand now?

try to claim ikwerre,anioma etc
they are more related to you

Don't make us go into Kalabari connection to Igbo.

We will leave it here.

RobbStark:


Just listen to yourself
The same you ibos that hardly understand ebonyi language are here telling us that even if we bear similar names, we are not one.

Continue, na here e end.
No where e reach

What you mean is that because some actual Ijaws bear Igbo name Ijaws are Igbo. I think I like your argument

Don't mind that ijaw man wey say na Opobo, Bonny kalabari is ijaw.

Same thing with Bonny, Ogbia, parts of okrika, Andoni etc

RobbStark:
Kalabari is not Ijaw
Bonny is not Ijaw
Opobo is not Ijaw
Okrika is not Ijaw

Infact there is no Ijaws in rivers state.

Hahahaha hahaha.
Una mumu don do

Just like I have said in all the threads you dotians are opening upandan, una noise end here for Nland.

There are nine Ijaws LGA in rivers state.
And I am currently going to attend a meeting of IYC here in Port Harcourt, IWOFE.

If you are in Ph, and you said those LGAs are not Ijaw, pls try n attend the meeting let's settle it once n for all.

Just imagine, an Ibo man coming to tell me kalabari, bonny ,Opobo et Al aren't Ijaw.
Una dey ment abi

Kalabari ,Okrika,Bonny and Opobo are all Ijaw though Opobo language is a bit more like Ikwerre but they bear Ijaw names, titles and all.
No need for Online banters .
Make them go call Ogungbolo ,Degema ,Abonema man igbo man first.

giftibo:
My name is Boma Charles Joe, My dear somethings are not to be taken too serious. We all know how our country is. People come up with all kinds of cooked stories which does not hold water. This cannot make the Kalabari people deny Ijaw. We know it's the enemy at work and we can't give the enemy that satisfaction by try to explain anything. We can ignore it and continue with our struggles for a better Ijaw just as I'm seeing this group about the Ijaw Republic declaration.
To avoid disunity among Ijaw people because it's what Igbos want
This is not from US (the Kalabari people) pls let not divide ourselves with this cooked write-up. We should know that whenever good things wants to happen, bad things will surface as a test. The Kalabari people have no other tribe (Nationality) to claim nor run to other than the Ijaw. We are Ijaws and we are proud of our ethnic nationality. Remember we just concluded IYC elections in our clan.

Pls i will advice all well meaning Ijaws both in this group and other groups to disregard this write-up about Kalabaris are not Ijaws.

The kalabaris knows who they are, so while is ijaw forcing them In their ijaw republic knowing that kalabari is not ijaw,go and force boma of bbnaija the kalabari man who denied being ijaw to become ijaw nah ,even the okrika people are not fully ijaw they are half breed of ijaw and Igbo.

Is not Igbos that said so o ,many kalabaris said so they denied being ijaw even they one I saw in owerri the day I was going to Anambra denied too even boma of bbnaija denied too, every where is denying denying, kalabari people have woken up from their stupidity they are more wise now to defend their identity which is kalabari ethnic nationality.

You people need to grew-up sir,ethnic groups through out the world overlap into one another and their languages tend to form a spectrum.

Names that are shared by different ethnic groups belong to both ethnic groups e.g If an Igbo man is bearing Osakwe, it's an Igbo name but if an Edo man is bearing Osakwe, then it's an Edo name.

You just dey talk talk brah brah brah. Nawa. Ijaw has been doing this thing you're doing since the 19th century. You don't know that, that's why you think you will achieve anything.

Look at the spectacular failure on their hands after their fabrication and manipulation since the 19th century.

No Ẹdo man bears Osakwe or Osadebe because it means nothing in Bini.
Now you know.
Forget the sound, ask about the meaning, ask Bini people before you speak for them.
Thank you

Edo is not limited to Bini.


You can check Edo Peoples bearing Osakwe on Facebook.

Orisha/Osaa(Yoruba)= Oritse(Itsekiri)= Osaa(Edo) = Olise (Ika)= Olisa (Igbo) = Deity

A lot of this Igbo guys on this Nairaland politics section are just dull.

Sowore is an Ijaw man from Ondo State, is brother that was killed few days ago who is also an Ijaw name is "Adetunji". If we Yorubas are to act like them, we will start claiming Sowore people in Ondo state.

Bros, read wide and travel wide. There is no clear cut boundaries where one ethnic stop and another one start, there always areas of overlap. This is most obvious in Forested areas where people live in close proximity to each other and examples abound all over the world.


The classification of indigenous peoples in this country into what we now call ethnic groups was introduced by the British and it's a very recently fabricated stuff.

There are people today who identify as Ijaws but whose grandfather or great-grandfather came from Mbaise, Okigwe or Amaigbo. Similarly there are people today who identify as Igbos but their great-grandfathers came from Akure, Gboko, Bini, Agenebode, Ikot-Abasi, Agbor, Eleme or even Cameroon.

Yes, you are right. In Opobo's case they are Igbo centuries ago and Igbo today. Politically backed historical revisionism fails on scrutinization, all the time.

It's not in your place to decide who they are, this is left for the people of Opobo to decide and anyone who knows them well enough can easily see who they portray themselves to be.

the bolded is wrong,when it comes to that, language must be mutual intelligible to be considered the same cluster group,a man from an Awka man might find it hard to understand what an Abakaliki man is saying but they are still the same Ethnicity because both can understand themselves to a considerable level,the same can’t be said about an Ndoki man and Ijaw man from Opobo even while they live close enough than the Awka and Abakaliki man,they still can’t understand each other dialect mutually unless both have learned it
U get the point now

RobbStark:



When you and your likes are done crying in anything Ijaw lemme know.

Since you said kalabaris are not Ijaw, come to Abonnema wharf na and say it let see.

Or come to Bonny waterfront and say it let's see.
