Igbo

Called them ejime in my lang

Radoillo:
I would suggest getting acquainted with the works of Professor Obaro Ikime, the most prominent historian of Isoko extraction. You could read his Niger Delta Rivalry based on his doctoral thesis. You could also read The Edo-Speaking Peoples by Bradbury, the anthropologist. It contains a section on the Urhobo and Isoko peoples.

To mention the Urhobo/Isoko groups that claim Igbo (or at least part-Igbo) origins, let me quote from Professor Ikime's chapter in the book The Groundwork of Nigerian History, chapter 5.

1. Olomu: "The Olomu traditions also indicate that as some point Igbo elements moved into the area and were assimilated into the population." [page 93].
Now, the Olomu clan had already been established by one Igboze from Benin. He was later joined by an Igbo whose name is given as Olomu and who came with a sizable group of followers. This Olomu succeeded Igboze as the Ovie. Olomu's ascension as the Ovie led to a split in the community, and those who would not accept his leadership seceded and established the Okpe clans. So Olomu clan is believed to be a mixture of Bini and Igbo elements. (This additional detail can be found in Ikime's Niger-Delta Rivalry.)

2. Evwreni: "The Urhobo clan of Evwreni is said to have been founded by Igbo elephant hunters hired in the first instance by the Isoko clan of Iyede." [page 93]

3., 4., and 5. Enwhe, Igbide, and Ume: "The Isoko clans of Enwhe, Igbide and Ume are said to be of Igbo origin, the founders having come from the Igbo country. Details of the migrations are rather scanty. Eru, the founder of Igbide is said to have stayed in Awka for some time before he moved off to the present Igbide clan." [page 93]

I think there is an elements of truth in ur post,I'm an isoko girl,and there is a village call asaba-ase meaning small asaba in isoko land,these people speaks both isoko and igbo fluently #fact# even some words in isoko rhyme in igbo e.g ude cream,aferri-plate. Not sure of the spellings sha

wahabian:
I'm surprised to see what a whole lot of people are posting here. people have lost it! is it so bad in Africa? Africa is only bad when you're poor. I don't think the poster will have it so bad relocating.

You guys don't know how it feels like to be abandoned by your own children,to disgust other people because of your old age. No wonder we continue to play second fiddle to the white man, the black man is content with being a slave and doesn't mind losing his identity for temporary pleasure.

Most of the people coming here to speak I'll of Africa,what has been your contribution to Africa's development? The little amenities we manage is from the blood and sweat of some people,gaining independence wasn't so easy,it was the struggle of some people. what has been your own contribution to Africa?other than to sit back and speak I'll of your mother land.

You speak so well of the west forgetting how they built their own civilisation on the sweat of slaves from Africa,how Africa was raped you forgot. I refuse to be a slave to a white man.

I am proud of my identity,and I am part of the next generation creating change in Africa. What is your own contribution ?

naptu2:
This OP sef! Why didn't you make the story interesting by stating what happened before the fight?

The Nigerian came to the weigh in with a Nigerian flag. The Ghanaian grabbed it from him and was about to throw it on the floor. The Nigerian shouted, "where's my flag?" and rushed at the Ghanaian. He took back the flag before people rushed in to separate them.

really?why would the ghanaian man do that... That's uncalled for

Chai..pathetic
