KALABARI IS A KINGDOM AND NOT EVEN A CLAN. A KINGDOM MADE UP OF VARIOUS IJAW CLANS.. ANDONI ARE ALSO IJAW.

There is nothing to learn here . No First class king went to receive the Oba. Just few Ikwere chiefs did . The Oba visit has also got nothing to do with Ikwere being Bini or Igbo... Enough said. Ikwere are a mixture of Igbo and Ijaw ( Kalabari mainly )... Only God knows why some few Ikwere think they are from Bini when they have no Bini in them, They dont look Bini, they dont have no Bini kings. There is no clear history that make them Bini apart from the claim that make no sense .

WIKE is a very funny man.. Oba Topkpe eh.... Bini people need to keep their fetish Oba to their Bini.. They are only struggling to make their Oba lord of Niger delta .. We have chosen the AGADAGBA of GBARAMATU.. Last bus stop

AmuDimpka:
This oba is a clown... History has it some tribes Trace to Benin not that some of these tribes came from Benin
.
Is Akalaka a Benin name ? Whicj igbe is he from

Minorities with minority thinking

Traditional ruler visiting PH does not mean PH belongs to the traditional ruler please.. I am sure the Oba did not meet the Ikwere in any Port Harcourt Ikwere palace. Port Harcourt is not Ikwere and Ikwere is not Port Harcourt . Original Ph was an Okrika enclave while a second settlement Diobu was Ikwere . Both Ph and Diobu merged to form a greater Ph which developed to include several other Okrika and Ikwere settlements .. Ikwere traditional rulers have been visint Igbo clans and Igbo traditional rulers have also been visiting Ikwere clans. Oba of Bini visiting Ikwere people is just a friendly visit just as the Oba said ..

Tensor:
You should understand that Rivers State is not all about Ikwerre,

he's talking of Obigbo

Obigbo was just a market where Igbos ( no clan imparticular ) used to converge to sell their food during the colonial era. The reason why it has no particular Igbo clan name . It is not Nnewi, or Ngwa or Awka but OBIGBO meaning place for Igbo business .. There was an Obigbo even in Lagos which has become OYINGBO today . It is cos of the OYINGBO word , the Rivers state government changed the name from Obigbo to OYIGBO. Ofcourse, no government can change the name of native people. Oyigbo had no natives.. Oyigbo is also different from Ndoki . The Igbos of Oyigbo today are all migrant Igbos from all over Igbo land . Ndoki native land is just under Oyigbo lga.. Ndoki is not the Oyigbo we are discussing .

Leave them, let them be claiming another man's land.
Funny little beings.

Warri is the name of a Kingdom and the Kingdom has several towns. The kingdom is home to the Itshekiri, Ijaw and Urhobo settled in their various settlements or towns..and the King is an Itshekiri. The Itshekiri are settled in scattered communities that can not form land or geographical contiguity due to the presence of non Itshekiri settlements that are perhaps even older than the Itshekiri settlements .

An entire Ijaw kingdom APOI in Ondo state speak Yoruba and Yoruba do not claim them. An entire Ijaw kingdom Opobo speak Igbo and Igbo do not claim them. Thanks to Edwin Clerk of Kiagbodo for letting the world know that Kiagbodo is an Ijaw town even though the natives speak Urhobo . Ofoni in Bayelsa state is an Ijaw town and the aboriginal natives of the town have not denied that . They speak Urhobo just as many Ijaw towns have lost their native Ijaw language to neighbors. People who are not from Ofoni should stop embarrassing the Ofoni people. They speak Urhobo but they are Ijaw.
