Ijaws are more than ibos in population.
The 5 Ibo States, will enter Kogi state, and space will still remain in Kogi, while Ijaw spread into more than 6 States and having many local governments in each States, without other tribes entering their centre.
When only Edo state is nearly as big as Kogi state, and Ijaw cut through it from Ondo Ijaws, to Delta Ijaws, passing into Edo Ijaws, Bayelsa state alone is 673km² bigger than Imo 5300km² and Anambra 4,800km² put together.
IMO and Anambra put together us 10,100 Bayelsa state is 10,773 km²
You think it's easy to spread straight into 6 very big States without other tribes entering your centre?
Many people u think are ibos, are actually Ijaws, under IYC and INC and LINO.

And you say Ibos are more than Ijaws, how come?
Ijaws are far more than Ibo in population.
Your 419 way of rigging population figures cannot help u.Ibo and 419.
You think it's empty space that Ijaw use and enter into these more than 6 big States without other tribes, entering their centre?

SlayerForever:
If I have time later today I will be back with more evidence.

Carry your 419 and lie lie evidence and go and claim the areas physical, then we know.

Ijaw republic will solve it

Exactly.

One mumu Professor, go declare Ibom Republic, instead of them to go with their other Calabar people in cross river state, forgetting that the Ijaw tribe was Balkanized into more than six States, when they share perfect boundaries with each other, when they discover that the Obolo-Ijaw people with their Seven Local Governments in Akwa-Ibom state, because Oro are Obolo people, and they have 5 lga and the Oro are also under Ijaw Youth Council today.
Plus the other two Obolo LGA.
Making 7.
And since the Oro and Obolo have said that they are going for Ijaw Republic with their Ijaw relations, this made Ibom Republic landlocked.
Now them wan come thief the Ijaw people land by force.
Ijaw have 12 LGA in Rivers state, and 7 LGA in Akwa-Ibom state.

Bayelsa state alone is bigger than the whole Akwa-Ibom state, but they cheated Bayelsa with low number of LGA.
It's all because of the marginalization and the Balkanization of Ijaws into more than 6 States.
When they share perfect boundaries with each other.

When only Epie man paulker have ruled for 16 years in Bayelsa Central.
Ibos are so much liars, all your lies end online.
If Epie is not Ijaw will other Ijaws, allow a person from there stay in Senate 16 years?
If they are not Ijaw why are they in all the Ijaw socio cultural organizations. Same with Engenni.

Idiko1:
The bolded is laughable and self-indictable. The so-called Ijaw were British porters mainly from Akwapim -Togo region. The route of British to West Africa and especially what became Nigeria trailed from Gold Coast. It is very likely Ijaw, the Europeans porters, were left along the trail as beacon.

.

Any Ijaw areas ibos want to claim, they should go and do it physical, and not on Nairaland.

Any Ibo that want to claim Ijaw land, should go and do it physical, and stop lying on Nairaland.
It will do you guys, no good.
Go and claim the Ijaw area physical.

Idiko1:
Sometimes I wonder if certain stiffs in Nigeria were ever born with brain cells. Ijaw ethnicity may have problem beating the population of Aba urban yet foolishly claim to have enslaved Ndigbo. Titles worn by many Ijaw headmen, from Ama Onye Anabo to Amaikiri were natives of Igbo lexicon. Even Kalabari is a derivative of Portuguese words. Ijaw are goons who want Nigeria as presently configured and will surface a sudden death when exposed to the disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria. What a prodigality.

. Your 419 can take you no where. You think it's empty space that Ijaw use and cut straight into more than Six big States, and having many local government areas, in each of these states, without other tribes entering their centre, lie lie Ibo.
You use 419 and raise the population of 5 South East States, that all of them enters Kogi state, and there is still big space in Kogi state, when Edo state alone compete with the whole Kogi state in size and Ijaws cut through it from Ondo Ijaws enter Edo ijaws and into Delta ijaws
Ibos that are lesser than Ijaw in population.

Ekealterego:
Degema, Engenni, Epie Attisa are all one group of related Ogua people.. They are even reviving their Ogua ethnic nationality. And as you stated correctly, they are basically all related to the Isokos and Urhobos.

If you like say they are Japanese people, all of them are under Ijaw Youth Council Ijaw National Congress and Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization.

The IYC Epie Clan Chairman is Ambozibe Ebi, same Ebi with me.

The Amnesty International Boss, Miland Dixon dikio is from Engenni.
If he is not Ijaw will other Ijaws allow Amnesty boss to come from there?

All Ibo lies and rants, end on Nairaland, no where e reach.
Go and claim Ijaw areas physical, all these places are under Ijaw socio cultural organizations.
If they are not Ijaws will they be in it.

Go and claim them physical, not online.

Igboid:
They are not.
It's on record that Epie/Atissa people are proto Edoid people.

Their language is more or less related to Edoid languages like Isoko and Urhobo.

Also Degema(Udekeme) are not Ijaws too.
Degema people are proto Edoid people like Epie people too.

Epie people has a history of originating from Bini, and unlike the Ikwerre and other Igboid groups who fabricated Bini origin stories, Epie Edoid language validates and authenticates their Bini origin claim.

Go and claim them physical, not this nonesense write up you created.

Ijaw Youth Council Epie Clan Ambozibe Ebi is my namesake Ebi.

If the Ogua Dynasty are not Ijaws, will all Ijaws allow Amnesty boss to come from there?
All Ibo lies and rants end on Nairaland.
The Ijaw Youth Council Chairman, Epie Clan Ambozibe Ebi.
Is my namesake Ebi.
If they are not Ijaw, how come they are under Ijaw Youth Council, Ijaw National Congress and Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization.

All Ibo rants end on Nairaland, no where e reach, if you like pose as Ijaws and write nonesense.
Go and claim them physical is what we stand on.

All Ijaw areas Igbos want to claim, they should go and do it physical, and not online.
It's like saying Kolokuma are from the Kala-Okun dynasty, and Kalabari is from the Perebo Mein Dynasty. Same with the Ogua Dynasty.
All of them are under Ijaw Youth Council Ijaw National Congress and the Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization.
All the founders of dynasty end up coming from one Ijaw.
Go and claim them physical.

It's true ooo.
I just discovered that my WhatsApp that receives 5 message every 1 minute, have not receive any message at all, since. Will this ever stop.

Abagworo:
I don't think I've ever seen any Igbo man claim Kakabari is Igbo. Igbos know where the boundary stops at Ikwerre and the issue has always been Ikwerre being Igbo or not. Kalabari is seen by Igbos including Ikwerres as Mbamiri, Oru, Orukwo or Olu which translates to riverine peoples. It is Kalabari people themselves that have rejected the Ijaw tag because they feel it will diminish their own unique identity so it should be addressed as internal or brotherly squabble among riverine people not bringing Igbos into it.

Go and tell that to these Kalabari guys,
The Ijaw National Congress Vice President.
Atamuno A. Atamuno.

Or tell it to former Ijaw Youth Council President Worldwide.
Asari Dokubo who say that Igbos are Ijaw slaves.

All Ibo rants and lies, end on Nairaland go and claim the Ijaw areas, physical.

Thanks for the input. 

I don't know as to whether you are a Kalabari or an Ijaw per se but I think there's too much of a leaning towards the Ijaws in your narration of Kalabari history.  It seems as though you are narrating it from the point of view of an Ijaw person - i.e. giving it an Ijaw perspective, if you see what I mean.

I say this because we, as Kalabari people, have never seen ourselves as Ijaws (although grouped by the colonialists as belonging to the Ijaw tribe).  The typical Ijaw towns (Nembe, Brass, Yenagoa, Sangama and so on) are much too far away from Kalabari kingdom, almost nearer to Warri and Sapele in the Mid-West than to the Kalabari towns and villages or indeed, Okrika, Bonny or Opobo.  Hope you get my point and not take offence at it 'cos any Kalabari would tell you that.

Having said that, I would say that you've shed some light on this, some things about which I'm either not aware, not taught, or have totally forgotten, being that I have been away from Nigeria for most of my life - 34 years to be precise and have never been home in all of those years!

As a primary school kid in BAKANA, I can't ever remember our being told about the existence of 'canoe houses' before the Portuguese came on the scene.  I can but, only go by the history of the Kalabari people as we were taught in primary school, and as narrated to us by the elders of the town. 

Still, you and I are not quite far-off in our narration of Kalabari history.  In saying that, I'm from Iyalla's compound in Bakana so do know that Fouche is Ifoko - a part of Bakana and not too far away from Iyalla polo.   

As I said before, I don't quite get the Ijaw part of your narrative, as we Kalabaris don't see ourselves as Ijaws.  Neither do I agree with you on the bit about Ibani, the Kalabari language, or the part about the other Kalabari towns not having moved from Elem Ama, amongst very many other points raised in your write-up.  Albeit, a good account of Kalabari history, I must say.

Understandably, none of us was present at the time the history of the Kalabari people was being made, that many hundreds of years ago, to give a witness account of what went on, hence must be most careful not to sound pedantic as if the one were present at the time.

I do know however, that Okrika and Kalabari have an almost identical language and fought so many wars in the olden days.  I never knew either that Ibani (Bonny) and Kalabari languages are similar!!  Surely, Kalabari language is NEVER similar to Ibani, or is it?  Never heard, never been told that, either.  In saying that, there was a guy from Bonny that lived in West Bromwich.  He dated my cousin and I can swear that he never sounded like a Kalabari whenever he spoke to me.  Never!  Okrika, most definitely yes but not Ibani (Bonny), as you seem to imply.  Maybe there's a mix-up here.    

Iyalla is the Kalabari name of my family whereas, the Europeans addressed us as 'Yellowe' in view of the skin-tone of my late forefathers.  Thus the name Yellowe is exactly the same as Iyalla and my family members bear either of those two names.  I'm a direct descendant of the Iyallas, as my dad, the late Dr C.I. Berepiki was the last born of Ine, daughter of Paramount Chief Iyalla.  My late uncle, Chief Vincent Yellowe was the chief of Iyalla's compound in Bakana, at the time I was at home.  I know for sure that the Iyalla family originates from Tombia (we have Iyalla's compound in Tombia even now), but not the Ibani Clan bit from which Tombia originates, according to you.  I also know that Paramount Chief Iyalla founded Bakana and handed over the ruling of the town to his cousin - Chief Braide, as he was the elder of the two.  I don't ever remember being told in primary school history class (or by the elders, when I was a kid at home), that Bakana fought against Elem Ama (Elem Kalabari) - whatever for?  However, I do know that Paramount Chief Iyalla and his people were the first to move from Elem Kalabari to found Bakana.

There are some other key points in your narrative about which I totally disagree and beg to differ because I don't live at home and so can not verify the facts from our elders.  That said, I'll never give credence to the history of the Kalabari people as written by the European colonialists other than one by the English anthropologist and crowned Kalabari chief -  Chief Dr Hutton of Buguma.  I guess he is still alive and living amongst his fellow-Kalabaris, even though a white man.

Maybe a Kalabari that lives at home, and is well-up on our history would come in here to add their piece to this discussion.  I would really want to have a third opinion on this.

Kalabari people, where are you?  Come in please

Posing as Kalabari will do you no good.
Go and claim them physical.
Asari Dokubo always say Ibo are Ijaw slaves, why didnt he say Ibos are Kalabari slaves.
