These are the Clans that make up the Ijaw Nation. Only Egbema Clan have over 350 Villages and settlements under it.

Ive been wondering if the clans line up with precolonial states, but it would seem unlikely the polities would only line up with clans. Another thing is, i thought the obolo were an ibibio subgroup, or are the cultural borders blurred enough to confuse one for the other 1 Like |

Maazieze:The peculiar thing about Ijaw 'ethnic' identity is that it doesn't always align with linguistic realities. Indeed, Obolo speak a language that is a close relative of Ibibio. But they are not the only 'Ijaw' group that doesn't speak an Ijaw dialect as their mother tongue. Engenni and Epie are linguistically Edoid subgroups. Abua, Ogbia and Odual speak closely related non-Ijaw dialects collectively called Central Delta languages. Opobo is Igbo-speaking. And the Apoi of the Western Zone don't speak Ijaw, but Yoruba. Omoyele Sowore (notice the Yoruba names) comes from Apoi of the Western Zone. 1 Like |

RedboneSmith: Keep quiet. They are all of one Ancestor. You don't know of language loss shey? |

Ebi2233:Eat shit, you uncomprehending buffoon. Did I argue about the validity of their ethnic cohesion? Was I not simply explaining the linguistic situation to someone who asked a question about it? PS: They are not 'all of one Ancestor' (whatever that means). No ethnic group in the world is 'of one Ancestor', despite what their origin stories might say. 2 Likes |

GreatBoss: You all left the person who asked a perfectly reasonable (but apparently an uncomfortable) question to come and pile on me. Clowns. Please, answer his/her question. 1 Like |

GreatBoss: Ijaw is not an ethnic group rather an identity, they don't even speak a related language. In fact an average kalabari man would say he's kalabari before he'll remember "ijaw" |

Think4Myself: I don't get whats your point, ethnicities are identities, people have multiple identities, just cause some associate with their sub-clan first doesnt discredit their association with their ethnicity. 1 Like |

GreatBoss:Whoever compose this list obviously don't know the difference between clans and communities. I can see so many Wakirike (Okrika) communities as clans, this list is rubbish smh. Okrika Ogu Bolo Abuloma Ogoloma Are not clans,but kingdoms/ towns in Wakirike. |

RedboneSmith:what then makes one ijaw? You mean they can just wake up tommorow and say Esan is Ijaw and she will be |
Re: The Groups Of People That Make Up Ijaw (photos). by RedboneSmith(m): 8:53pm On Jul 13, 2022 |
UGBE634:Well, if the Esan then agrees that they are Ijaw and joins Ijaw National Congress (the way Obolo and these other groups have), who are we to tell them what to do with their lives and identities? |
