Igbo and Ijaw, like old times before oyinbo carry yoruba and hausa scatter scatter come Biafraland.

This kind by force brother carry your love and offer yoruba, we don't want to be part of Biafra, be it from ojuku or kanu

TEYA:

Strong man! Married a biafran after everything the dad did to them. I love that!

His wife isn't Igbo, she's Edo.

ZirdoRoray:
Don Jazzy is very hilarious but he is being cunny. There is something really fishy about him if you look beyond all the humour. I'm not saying he should make his relationship a social media affair but one can never associate any woman with him and that's very weird.

He probably has a lot of ladies but doesn't like to show the world through social media

dodelight:
Thanks OP. My fiancée is an Edo girl, and we've been friends for over 10years now, and she is a proof that that myth about Edo girls is just a lie.
But talking about witchcraft, though I'm hearing this for the first time that Edo girls are considered to be witches, I think the reason for that opinion is not farfetched. Edo indigenes (not all, though) have this strong sense of their tradition; they hold it so dearly. And since part of that tradition include some idolatry rituals, their children are susceptible to wizardry and witchcrafts: I mean those who are still so unbending about their Edo/Bini culture.

Fiancée for 10years ? You're wicked

Rivers state should pass a similar bill

Mynd44:
It is bad that Ben does not understand economics.

He does not understand that the hype around the jersey was sponsored by Nike. The only raise the jersey is getting huge ratings is because of the advertisements and not the jersey it self.

And then Ben Bruce is misinformed as Nike have come out to say that the 3 million preorders is actually not true

I see you understand economics more than Ben Murray Bruce, every unknown Jack is an expert on nairaland

Torn Apart by Decree
Decree 23 of 1985 promulgated by former President
Ibrahim Babangida to adjust the boundary between
former Cross River and Imo States said to be the cause
of incessant communal clashes in Akwa Ibom and Abia
State.
By Obong Akpaekong

Decree number 23 of 1983, which adjusted the boundary
between former Cross River and Imo States, may have
complicated border problems in Akwa Ibom and Abia
States carved out of the two states. The decree
divided many border villages into two, with one
section in Abia and the other in Akwa Ibom. This also
affected the communities' shrines, barns and totems

In Ika local government area of Akwa Ibom State,
communities affected by such arrangement include Ikot
Udo Ika, Urua Inyang, Ikot Inwang, Effen Okoro,
Immaman, Ikot Ekong, Ikot Akpan Anwa, Ikot Ikara and
Ikot Uko. Abiaka, in Ibeme community, Azumini and
Iwukem are also well known examples of such
communities in Ukwa East Local Government Area, Abia
State.

The decree compounded the problem of Ikot Udo Ika more
than it did in other villages. Ikot Udo, a once
closely knit family with about 3,000 inhabitants, was
split into two groups. One of the groups is claiming
that its people are indigenous Akwa Ibomites while the
other, a smaller number, insists that they are Igbo.
Although all the people spoke the local Annang dialect
of Akwa Ibom, those who preferred to belong to Abia
adopted "Akirika Obu" as their village name. But
there is no boundary between the two groups.

With time, some of those claiming Igbo nationality
changed their names to suit their new posture. They
were said to have preferred being Igbo in protest of
years of neglect by the then Cross River State
administration.

The decree which former president Ibrahim Babangida
promulgated in November 1985 excised the pro-Igbo
side, said to be a third of the entire village into
Imo State, while the rest was to be administrated by
Cross River State. When new local government areas
were created by General Abacha, the Annang went to Ika
local government of Akwa Ibom while the pro-Igbo group
(Akirika Obu) went to Ukwa east local government area.
The promulgation of the decree said to have been
influenced by Paul Omu and Ndubuisi Kanu, former
governors of Cross River and Imo States, predictably,
worsened the rift between the two brethren. There have
been one class after another between the people since
then.

The most destructive of the clashes between them
occurred on February 7, 2000. Over 50 houses were
torched. The houses which included storey buildings,
were infact the best in the locality and belonged to
prominent persons in the community. One of the houses
belonged to E.E. Ekpenyong, former secretary to Cross
River State government. Other include those of Marm
Ichara, a professor of petrochemical engineering and a
former Shell official, Sunday E. Akpan, general
manager in charge of audit in Nigeria Social Insurance
Trust Fund, Abuja, Young Ekpenyong, an avionics
engineer with Nigeria Airways and Samuel Adam, a
retired teacher. The houses of Godwin Nwagbose Nwulu
and Michael Thompson Nwambaha said to be leader of the
pro-Igbo were also burnt.

The incident was triggered off by pro-Igbo youths who
a caterpillar grader operator working on one of the
roads in the village. He was sent to do the job by
Francis Udoikpong, chairman of Ika local government
area. Witnesses said when some youths on the Akwa Ibom
side saw the grader operator attacked, they went to
help him out but were equally attacked.

This led to serious fighting and rioting which
climaxed in sporadic gun fire. The mobile policemen
from Azumini, Abia State, moved in to contain the
situation but they were accused of taking sides with
the pro-Igbo elements. Chrysantus Efep, vice-chairman
of Ika council area, said police in Azumini were used
to intimidating, harassing and arresting the Annang in
Ikot Udo in favour of the pro-Igbo group.

Igboid:
Akirika speak Annang as second language, as their neighbors are Annangs. But they are proud Igbos of Ndoki extraction. Their clan in Ndoki is called Ikwuriato.

Akirka speaks only Annang, but the interesting thing here is that you can speak Annang language and still be proudly Igbo according to you, interesting

Igboid:
Both Abiriba and Akirika people are Igbo speaking people, who speak Igbo as first and only indigenous language.

You need to stop digging up internet for spurious claims.
No where in Abriba is Akwa Ibom language spoken.
