I'm not Ijaw or from Rivers State but I served in Abua, Abua is an Ijaw community, there is no need for them to Denial their root

BlackAdam55:
Abuloma people are Okrikas and the Okrikans are of the ijo subgroup.

Igboid:


Abuloma people are not Okirikas.
They speak an obvious Ibibiod (cross River) language.
While Okirika speak an Ijoid language.

A welcome development. Abua, Bonny, Okrika, Andoni etc are unique tribes. Ijaws from Bayelsa should stay clear of Rivers states ethnic groups.

BlackAdam55:
You can't tell me what I know ok? Abuloma people are Okrikans they have never for once deny being Okrikans, and Okrika Is an ijaw subgroup. The day Abuloma people reject the Okrika tag then they can be whatever they want until then,they are Okrikans. And Okrikans are ijaws.

This is the ethnologue of Obulom language.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obulom-Ochichi_language

Did you see any Ijoid let alone Ijaw there?

Obulom is a Cross River language that is considered an endangered language.

BlackAdam55:
Okrikans are ijaws talking about being mix or not, Every tribe and ethnic groups in Nigeria are all mixed including igbos. So what are you driving at Mr?

Idafire:


Aquaphobic man, you still have mouth to talk when it clearly shows that you can't swim and you want access to the sea.
God didn't make a mistake putting you people in dot.
Stay clear, else you know what awaits you.

SaintBishop:
The ikwerres said that they are not igbos, Wike their number one man said they are not igbos. And yet,no one single ikwerres has come online to question his statement duh. I know hundreds of Abua people who said that they are ijaws so what your point Mr?

WorWorBoy:
Your obsession about my people is so great that you had to mention my people anytime ijaws are being mention. Let me break it down for you,Wakirike is an ijaw clan no Igbo man or woman boy or girl can decide for us where we belong, that will never happen. We are not lost people who don't know where they come from,leave us alone, stop forcing your opinion down on our throats.

izac82:

Look at you. What do you know. let me just help you out with a known Ikwerre son that addressed Wike's gaff on that interview.


The Ikwerre Is Igbo

It is important to state for record purposes that historically Ikwerres fully identified themselves as Igbos without suffering harms. Chief Joseph Wobo, member of the Council of Chiefs of Eastern Nigeria, clearly stated he was an Igbo. Nobody can dismiss him as he defended Ikwerreland in colonial Nigeria.

Sir Jackson Mpi, first and last Ikwerre to be conferred with Knight of the Order of British Empire, OBE, by Queen Elizabeth II of England in 1960, identified himself as Igbo. From the ancient Kingdom of Isiokpo, Sir Mpi worked tirelessly for Igbo advancement.

Dr Obi Wali was the first Ikwerre PhD holder, senator and university lecturer. He was also the only Ikwerre in the 1978 Constituent Assembly where he was selected one of the 50 Wise Men that drafted the 1979 constitution. The great Dr Wali identified fully with his Igbo heritage and was gruesomely assassinated defending it.

Okogbule Wonodi, first Ikwerre registrar of any university, first and only Ikwerre poet and Paramount title Holder of Eze Ohiaemeru. Ohiaemeru, where you have present-day Comprehensive College in Borokiri, was his ancestral home before the British vacated them between 1913-1923. Wonodi remained a respected member of Nzukor Igbo and Ohanaeze Ndigbo till the end of his life.

Patriot Emmanuel Aguma was former Mayor of Port Harcourt. As Principal of St John College, Diobu, he was the first Ikwerre to head any college. One of six pre-independence Ikwerre University graduates, former administrator of Port Harcourt Province in the defunct Peoples Republic of Biafra, first Ikwere minister in 1979, Aguma remained a member of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Emmanuel Oriji was a respected local government administrator, traditional ruler, a commissioner in old Rivers and core Igbo nationalist. The immediate past Deputy Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Isaac Wonwu, is an illustrious Ikwerre son from Elele. He is known to assert his Igbo identity. Equally valid, Chief Jackson Womenazu from Rumukrushi in the Evo Kingdom is a member of the Elders’ Council of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

In colonial documents, written when Igbos had no capacity to influence anything, Ikwerres also defined themselves as Igbos. When Ikwerre leaders presented their case before the 1957 Sir Henry Willinks Commission, Wobo declared that Ikwerres were Igbos and Port Harcourt to Onitsha was Igboland.

The cream of Ikwerreland have asserted their Igboness. Most illustrious sons and daughters. Tell me any Ikwerre whose CV can match those of Mpi, Wobo, Aguma, Wonodi, Dr Wali or Amaechi?.....

listen up SaintBishop, I don't dabble into this Ikwerre vs Igbo debate, because it is not necessary at all. The Ikwerres are my in-laws, so I know a lot about them. Consider this the last I will respond to you on this issue.

I thought you said that you don't care if Okrikans are ijaws or not so why are you breaking sweat on top of our matter? Okrikans are not complaining that we are under the ijaw tag,so I don't understand why you an Igbo man keep involving yourself in our business? Infact, who made you an Igbo man to be a spoke man for my people? Maintain your lane and mind your business, Wakirike is an ijaw subgroup.

Igboid:


Okirika has many components.
There is the main Okirika who are the Ijoid one.
Then there are Igboid components found at Okujagu and co.
Then the Ibibiod Obulom.

All these came together to form Okirika and that's why Okirika is a unique entity.

But the Okirika language, the one from the Ijoid part, is an Ijoid language.

So I'm not contradicting my brothers.

Okujuagu and Azubie speaks Igbo

The Official language of Wakirike people is the Kiriken Okweni.
