You are repeating what I said; there will always be loonies in every society who just want to attack those different from them . In South Africa we don't have tribal or religious violence , but you will see random cases of racial attacks like the one you posted......
This is the same in similar countries like USA, Brazil, Australia etc. Unlike in countries like Nigeria and other African countries with a similar set up where you mostly encounter random cases of violence arising from religious and tribal differences.
List a country with significant Muslim population without violence (except it is 100%). South Africa is almost 100% Christian and atheist and migrant Muslims I would love to know how South Africans would fare if the entire zulus were Muslims.... Come back when you understand my analogy

Eket is a subgroup of Ibibio therefore it can be considered a dialect of Ibibio. Although Eket language can not be fully understood by an Ibibio, which is why Eket indigenes speak Ibibio proper as a second language.
I always thought eket is an ethic group on its own

Even by growth, we are still kicking ass
Get updated please ...
Nigeria leads the world in millionaire growth for the next five years with a compounded annual growth rate of 16.3%.... That means there would be 3 new Nigerian millionaires for a very 1 new Kenyan millionaire for the first two years from the third year it would be 4...do the math

I thought tuface is a Yoruba dude shocked, or are the idomas a sub group of the Yoruba people ?. Is Niger delta made up of Edos?. Where does Pidgin come into the mix , can't one choose not to learn or speak the other languages and use pidgin instead to communicate with other tribes ?.

Yes , we do have a lot of cultural festivals throughout the year , but the biggest are; the National Arts festival , Makhufe festival, the Zulu kingdom reed dance because there are also many nationalities from across the globe who visit . The 24th of September is heritage day , a holiday to celebrate the different cultures in the country.
Lol... Tuface isn't Yoruba o. Infant idoma and Yoruba are as far as the sun from the earth... Idoma is the largest in the idomoid languages

Niger delta is linguistically complex but no where as complex as the north.. Geographical Niger delta(second largest in the world) is made up of 3 states delta,bayelsa and Rivers.... Culturally it includes all south south states edo, always ibom, cross Rivers plus the 3 previously mentioned....
There are many ethnic groups in Niger delta... The edoid(urhobo of delta being the largest, Bini,esan,isoko,afemai,some ijaw tribes).... Every town,village and community in delta and edo state and some in rivers and bayelsa(yenagoa axis) claims to have migrated from benin city even some igbo tribes with no linguistic affinity .i used to doubt it since most of the languages are not intelligible except urhobo-isoko which form a dialect continuum. The part of my home town where I'm from is called aka(our native/very acient name for Benin city...it might have another meaning though). The best proof of such claims can be

Bini(hare) - isoko(yare) - urhobo (nyare) - isoko proper(nyanze) - English ( come)... That is as far as it goes but not for urhobo/isoko which are both sides of a coin http://www.waado.org/Organizations/UHS/Debates/UrhoboBeninRelations/Omoigui.html
There are ijaw ethnic group who speak 9 not so related languages from Rivers (differet ethnic groups here like igboid(ikwere,etche,oyigbo,egbemme),ogoni) almost all bayelsa, some part of delta and ondo

Since there are many ethnic groups pidgin becomes convenient.. Pidgin is spreading from warri,yenagoa,port Harcourt and Benin city increasingly displacing native languages along its part.... My community in delta state for instance code switching is common between my native tongue and pidgin mostly among male youths but not female or children or elderly.
Cross Rivers and akwa ibom are different ball game

People in the Niger delta c pidgin as a brand and a fashionable stuff. Warri pidgin accent is the hardest with lots of slangs (#50 naira in Lagos is white/waso but Skye in warri and environs). I had to tell them explain some stuff when I visited. You can go around most places in Nigeria with pidgin English and every where in Niger delta with it(it might become the native language of those of us in the Niger delta in no distant Time)

Well the older Ibibio who grew up in the old Cross River state before Akwa Ibom state was separated, can understand Efik more because it was the main language spoken then officially in the state. But the younger Ibibio growing up in Akwa Ibom state can only understand a little Efik, mainly the parts similar to Ibibio. Efik may understand Ibibio more than Annang because Ibibios are a majority & lots of them still live in Calabar. Aside from that all 3 can only understand parts of each other languages to an extent, basic parts that are similar.
I might say Ibibio is the easiest, but that might be because am Ibibio & that is the language spoken in my family. So it's better to learn the one spoken more around you. smiley
The 3 languages are like French, Italian and Spanish.
Comparison to Spanish, French and Italian in greeting How are You?

(Die pronounce as Dear)

Annang: Atie die? (Pronounced as) Atie lie? Ibibio: Aba die? Efik: Etie didie?

Spanish: Cómo estás? French: Comment ça va? Italian : Come sta ?

So now you can see that Ibibio, Annang and Efik in language are just like French, Spanish and Italian.
What about eket?

I don't think so; one is like a robbery , it can happen to just anyone who is at the wrong place at the wrong time . The other though is a life long sickness that is self inflicted .
Majority of the tribalism always ends on Nairaland. Those tribal slurs don't exist outside Nairaland... The only thing is actually religious intolerance which can happen anywhere in the world...india, Myanmar, Muslim migrants in Europe, China

Really ? I thought the Edo people would be more seductive than the rest shocked. cheesy. Since you guys have Igbo , Yoruba and Hausa as the more popular languages, which one is more popular amongst those in the middle belt ?. When is your cultural day?. I have never seen any threads about it here on nairaland.
Tiv are the largest in the middle belt(about 4 million people),idomas(tuface idibia),igala,alago,berom(largest in jos area) .there are way too numerous. Southern kaduna has over 20 alone... Some of them speak Hausa as a second language(common in North)

Yoruba and igbo are mostly made up of ethnic speaker... Everybody in southern Nigeria speaks their native language instead except you grew up outside your ethnic homestead and you actually made an effort to learn the language(especially in niger delta)


There is no specific day for cultural day... It is one of the many social events organized by private schools


Do you people have traditional festival? Something like the eyo masquerade and festival of Lagos?
