Pray that Nigeria does not divide oh. Because that your 14Million population you claim to have will be needed to defend your claims of owning Port Harcourt.

Una dey owe Igbos debt.
Oga we owe no one anything,and yes we own half of port harcourt. From new road down to slaughter belongs to Okrikans (who are ijaws) and we have no intentions of leaving our ancestry lands for anyone to come and inherit.

Yorubas and Northerners call them Calabar because they don't them very well, have never known them, all because of One Nigeria oil they pretend we know each other. But Igbos know them very well as neighbors even without them saying a damn word, we can tell you whether they are Ibibio, Efik, Annang or Ika(Igbo).

Do you know you can identify an Ibibio from Annang and Efik? Ibibio look very much like Igbos than Ananng and Efik. They have flat heads light Igbos, muscular, yam legs and light skin too. The light skin you see in Akwa-Cross Axis are mostly Ibibio. Annag and Efik are 95% dark skin like Gov Ayade, while Ibibio share the same makeup of light skin as Igbos, about 30-40%. That's why Adekunle went to Ibibioland and killed over half a million young men. When asked why he massacred them? He said Ibibio and Igbo are one and the same people. Hope you learned something today

To be honest, I can't differentiate between Efik, Ibibio , Oron and Annang

You’re not from Okrika Mr man. You might be an Izon infiltrator in the group yet doesn't make you a Wakrike. Who knows if you're the disgraced Olotu Alegi who was shamed by Okrika people.

No sane Wakirike will deny being ijaw, not in this life or 100 years to come.
Lmao go to our group page and see how we roast that your igbo brother Buike Geroge who keeps promoting his igbo nonsense in our group, the backlash he recived from us was so much that the nigga has stop posting there lol.

Alegi Olotu with your several Nairaland moniker which includes Blacksaint come and see the title of the Okrika group. Did you see any attachee by force Okrika-Ijaws you IYC Bayelsa clowns like to flaunt.

Okrika people are using their platform to discuss issues that affect them, such as their preferred Okrika/Ogu-Bolo state for themselves, the Toboniju/Koniju problem, chieftaincy issues, the problem of unemployment, oil spill, cultism and insecurity.

Only you Ijaw land-grabbing clowns will come from nowhere to talk about IYC politics and other Okrika-Ijaw nonsense all to claim Port-Harcourt that has no boundary with Bayelsa.

Wakrike Nation is the title of the group. Not Okrika-Ijaw that you unity beggars are propagating. This was why they warned you Ijaw clowns to mind your business and stop dragging them into issues they are not interested in. Okrika people are talking about how to win Governorship election and sell a formidable candidate to their upland comrades and not street talks of Izon ogogoro drinkers.

Stop making baseless assumptions. Riverine Rivers people don't consider themselves Izon abi na Ijaw. Where did you carryout such baseless survey to assume such? Even in Bayelsa the supposed homeland of the Ijaws, the Epies and Ogbia don't consider themselves Izon let alone Rivers people.

The original Izons speak mutual intelligible language in Southern Ijaw areas of Bayelsa and maybe Delta. There's nothing like Izon speaking people in Rivers state. Kalabari, Okrika and Ibani speak their unique languages which is different from Izon.

IYC and INC just like PDP and APC are political parties that the riverine minority groups are members of. It does not prove ethnicity. How can you claim ethnicity yet speak English & Pidgin during meetings? Meetings of so-called brothers.
Only those in Southern Ijaw of Bayelsa and Izons in Delta can claim Ijaw. Only them speak mutually intelligible language. An Ogbia, Epie, Abua/Odua, Enugu, Bonny, Opobo, and even Kalabari and Okrika speak independent languages.

Even Isaac Boro during his declaration for Niger-Delta republic declared only the aforementioned Ijaw areas for a new country.
why is it that onitsha language is different from the rest ibos?
why is it that ebonyi languages is far different from the rest ibos?
why is it that some anambra languages are different from the rest ibos?
why the aniomas languages different from the ibos?
why some imo languages different from other ibos?

Ijaws are not even up to one percent in Edo state. The whole of Etsako is about 12percent and they have three local government. The whole of akoko Edo is about 5% and they have a full local government to themselves, The Igbankes alone is more populated than the sparsely populated Ijaw communities in Edo state and they have two wards, E be like you think say Edo end for gele-gele and Ikhoro. Imo 5?Abia5% you are a clown.
In Delta state The Urhobos are the largest with about 35 percent, Then the Aniomas(Ukwuanis,Aniocha, Oshimili, Ika)which cannot be less than 30% of the population of Delta state with nine local government areas in Delta north. That is about 65 %, the Isokos and the Itsekiris can't be less than ten percent each. You at most will have 15 percent in Delta state.
In Bayelsa, your fraud of a state, We know you wont pass for a senatorial district in a state like Edo state. Edo central (Esanland) the least populated senatorial district in Edo state will match Bayelsa toe to toe in population. Your claim of the fourth largest group will always fall like the pack of card when carefully scrutinized. Kanuri, Tiv, Fulani, Ibibio are all bigger groups when compared to the Ijaws. Ijaw at best will make a an 8 position, the lie that came after Jonathan became president cannot stand in the face of men that can carefully analyze issues the truth must be told to your face whether you like it or not.
How can you be 60% of rivers state when there is Ogoni and Ikwerre. And both are both large groups with nothing less than than 1.5 million each and a heavy migrant population in Rivers state

I don't think you are from Rivers state at all because if you are from Rivers state,and you have been to lagos bus stop,(town) Churchill, Borokiri,new road and so on, you won't have make such reckless statement like the bold.
Oga Okrika people are 110% ijaw people infact, the average Okrika man is first an ijaw man before being an Okrika man. If by the grace of God this country split, we are going to take our own share of port harcourt and merge it with the ijaw/Izon nation ( I know this is what you are afraid of grin) we are already suffering in Rivers state under the ikwerres and you uplanders, only the ijaw nation will give the Okrika people peace and prosperity.
brother the Ijaw republic is a threat to their survival as they looking for ways to evade their landlockedness.....they see bonny and okrika as the way forward to biafra sea access..

I guess you meant dialect. Different dialect of one language called Igbo, which is different from the several languages obtainable in the so-called Ijaw ethnic group.

Even the central Izon language which was promoted like Yoruba and Igbo ended up understood by only an handful of people in Southern Ijaw and parts of Delta.

When we look at neighbouring Niger-Delta ethnic groups, we still see similarity in dialect unlike you Izons. The Urhobo for instance have a central language that is mutually understood by Okpe and the rest sub-groups. The same applies to Efik which is mutually understood by the Ibibio, Anang, Oron, Obolo, Efut, etc. Moving to Ikwerre, we observe a central language understood by all Ikwerre clans. Do we talk about the Etsako in Edo north with a central language or the Ishan?

Why then is Ijaw different. It's difficult because Ijaw is a conglomerate of independent ethnic groups joined together due to nearness to the Atlantic ocean, oil politics and with different languages but created by the federal government as a willing tool to subdue and control the crude oil in the Niger-Delta.

Kalabari can proud itself to be a language just like Igbo. Kalabari in year's past used to be one of the official languages in the old eastern region just like Igbo, Efik, Ogoni, Ibibio, Ekoi.

And you’ll force Okrika people to become Izon overnight right? Are you aware that Okrikans flaunt their Wakrike ethnicity with pride? If you failed in your mission to convert ordinary Nembe a stone throw from you as Ijaws, or Epie who flaunt their ethnicity, is it Okrika people that you'll bend into a failed agenda?

When we say no Ijaws exist in Rivers state, we have military gazette of the 1996 state creation to prove it. Abacha carved all Ijaws and their cousins into Bayelsa state, leaving Rivers into the hands of the original owners. The natural boundary is there already and no amount of IYC gansterism will alter it. We are aware of the game you lots played in old Rivers by using fake Ijaw umbrella to dominate us, but now that power has change hands you should stay put in your Bayelsa and stop pick-nosing into another state.

How can you eye what does not even exist? Ijaw Niger-Delta republic ends in Boro’s original map, no addition and no substraction. Biafra is dead and buried already so no need to flog a dead horse. What we have now is Rivers people with one future and vision. That is why we keep telling you Bayelsa/Delta boys to mind your business and focus on your states.
