Efewestern: I'll have to ask my dad about the other communities when i get to speak to him. My people are more proud of their Ijaw roots than their urhobo origin. For a certainty, it has helped them politically and otherwise. Infact, most people now give their children Ijaw names. In my house, i and my dad are the only ones with Urhobo names because we are part of the old generation. All my younger brothers bear ijaw names and this applies to most families. Urhobo is considered as just a lingual franca in the community because even the traditional ruler bears Amanaowie which is Ijaw. You cant blame us any less for this decisions as Ofoni is a true ijaw community by virtue of the fact that they are sons of TARAKIRI. Other villages who are sons of Tarakiri also know this and accepts Ofoni as their own. Presently the incumbent deputy governor of Bayelsa state is a son of Tarakiri from Ofoni. Egberi Fa o |

atheistandproud: lols... very funny story.. its cool though. Well, i understand what your dad was trying to do and maybe his motive. He just wanted a better life for his kids. its normal for you to miss what growing up in the village feels like but u can always get that if you try visiting the village once in a while now that you're grown and follow your relatives to the farm and see what the forest has to offer. That has worked for me quite alright. Again i feel leaving the village was a life saver for me and if given a second chance i would do exactly same thing again. For a fact, most that stayed back dint further after secondary school, got baby mama's, etc. |

Adeba01:Thanks. But i agree and still disagree on ignorance being better than knowledge. Reason being that though the ignorance served it purpose in my early life, i'm so thankful i left the village for a better life. The lives of those who stayed back is not something i would want to envision for myself. |

SocialJustice:Ofoni in Bayelsa state. Its only accessible by water as at then. For us to get to a motorable road, we had to cross the river and goto Odorubu through which we can access Oghoro(pardon my spelling) junction. It was somewhere in 2017 that the Bayelsa state govt constructed a road from Sagbama through the town. |

*The Urhobo Boy* Part 1 When i was about 5yrs old, all i knew was my native tongue(Urhobo) and couldn't utter a word in english. The first time i saw a car was somewhere around 1997 when my family went for a convention in Ubogo(Delta state) and for a moment i was frozen in time. I cudnt imagine something so beautiful moving on wheels. So i tapped my mom and screemed "mommy look a house on wheels!" she cudnt help but laugh. All through the trip i cudnt close my eyes as i was so engulfed by the sights and sound of city life, i captured every moment and dreamed of living in such a place. At the convention, mom introduced me to my aunt who lived in the city and some of my cousins who were very fluent in English. I was so shy around them as i dint understood one thing they said. During launch time one of them said "come chop for here" while pointing to the food. Though i was hungry and kinda guessed from her gestures that she was inviting me for launch, it took the effort of my translator; my mom to help me understand the invitation. When the convention came to an end, i waved my cousins goodbye and we headed back for the village. It was evening and everywhere was getting dark but i was still awake and staring out the car as usual. It was at this point i saw the 7th wonder of the world. The driver pressed a button in the car and everywhere was bright as day time. Then i saw the car light shinning from the from the front and also inside the car. I was amazed! i quickly tapped my sleeping mother and screemed "mom look! the moving house has a lantern" she laughed and went back to sleep. I tried looking at the car's lantern to figure its source of kerosene but dint see any so i figured it must have been hidden somewhere around. We got to our stop, trekked to the water side and boarded a boat for the village. Now this is something i was familiar with, the boat was part of my culture, not those houses on wheels i saw earlier on the trip. When we got to the village, i was welcomed like a king. I gathered my friends and told them tales of my encounters in the city; How houses where moving on wheels and had lanterns on them, How the people over there spoke a different kind of language etc. It took months before i was able to finish the tales of my journey. I was respected by my peers as one who had gone to the great beyond and seen things they can only dream of. 4 Likes 1 Share
