Here on Nairaland, I have come across many posts concerning Kalabari as if they are tribe of their own.
For crying out loud Kalabari is an Ijaw clan just like Ijebu is a Yoruba clan.


Asari Dokubo is from Kalabari Clan, Farah Dagogo that made Wike insult all Ijaws is from Kalabari clan.


Kalabari is an Ijaw clan just like Nembe, Okrika, Ibani, Egbema, Ogbia, Andoni, Akassa, Arogbo, Boma, Ogboin, Mein, Gbaramatu, etc are all Ijaw clans.

GreatBoss:


Yeah.

Moh247:


Are Ogbia people in Bayelsa part of Ijaw ethnic group

It is not as simple as that

Do not bring Yoruba into it there are no parallels. Totally different scenarios. Whatever argument you want to make. Make it and leave Ijebu out of it. Leave Yoruba out of it too

Ijebu is not a clan There are millions of Ijebus. Go and open a dictionary to check what clan means .

GreatBoss:


There are millions of people in each Ijaw clan.
Only Egbema clan have over 350 villages and settlements.
Akassa clan have 150.

aribisala0:
Open a dictionary and check the meaning of CLAN

Do not indulge in foolish stubborness

A million people people cannot be a clan

GreatBoss:


Bros I had studied English in d Uni.

Is Ijebu a tribe


Don't you know that
Clan is a sub tribe abi you no go school.

aribisala0:
Your Ego is taking over
I do not care what you studied. This is a faceless forum so spare me the biography
I no go school so ?

I will indulge you but first do not change subject

Let us finish with CLAN then we can talk of tribe
It is clear you are weak and that is why you want to change subject

A population of 1 million cannot be called a clan let us settle that first
Like I said open a dictionary and check the meaning of CLAN at least you can say you learnt something today

aribisala0:

The reason I quoted you is because you brought Yoruba into and tried to draw parallels.
Keep Yoruba out of it

I am not an expect on Ijaw affairs and I am not interested in your family story

Just simple definitions of some words

A clan is a very small group of related families like the Ibru family or the Williams family of Lagos
A million people cannot be a clan

Ofodirinwa:


These this many of the ppl you listed are Igbo, I'm willing to believe you're also doing attachee by force to Kalabari as well.
None of the people you listed speak the same language if you don't count the Igbo ppl you threw in there.

GreatBoss:


Then is it a tribe?

Or is Ijebu not Yoruba again?

aribisala0:
It is not a tribe either
Again open a dictionary and check what tribe means . If you spend 10 hours studying it it will serve you well.
It is a good feeling to NOT KNOW and then TO KNOW
You claim you went to university and even studied English and here I am telling you stuff I knew when I was 12 years old

aribisala0:
The population of Ireland is 5 million and a large number of those are foreigners.

Tell me are the Irish people a clan or a tribe?

GreatBoss:


Is Ijebu bigger than the various Chinese clans with 100 of millions of people?

GreatBoss:


The population of the whole Itsekiri is not up to half of Egbema but Itsekiri say they are an ethnic group or tribe while Egbema say they are a clan under Ijaw tribe.

aribisala0:
There is no Chinese clan with 100 million people
I can see that you are impervious to learning
You do not profit from experience

aribisala0:
People like you do not learn . I am wasting my time with you

GreatBoss:


The population of the whole Itsekiri is not up to half of Egbema but Itsekiri say they are an ethnic group or tribe while Egbema say they are a clan under Ijaw tribe.

GreatBoss:


Stop talking trash.
Reason Igbo can never rule Nigeria.
Ijaw don't claim people online like Igbo.
Ijaw do it physical.

GreatBoss:


The Han Clan of Chinese have 800 million people out of the 1.4 Billion people in China ��.
