There are already international laws that are guiding these things let's just wait and see till the time comes. I don't really even understand where all these hatred for the igbo nation is coming from I doubt if u are even really ijaw the igbos I know have never wished the ijaw nation this type of evil they have always supported the ijaws politically in the past well u can't curse a people God himself in his infinite wisdom have blessed abundantly.

international law? are you jokin?
you dont even understand international law concernin the rivers.....

no international law said another nation should take to the sea on my territory......
do you remember last two months how russia chased britain ship from passing it territorial sea?

we loved igbos, but it was evil and criminal landgrabbing ipob who started this seperation between us......

You called your friends in kalaɓarị? I was expecting to read that you called the amanyanabo A na·akọgheri

Amayanabo is a strong Ijaw man

IDENNAA:
You dont have the capacity to reason like a proper human being. Which Ijaw nation ? The same one begins and ends with Bayelsa that cant compete with Ebonyi...lmao

If your forefathers are lazy just like most of you are what makes you think you will suddenly become as enterprising as the Igbo ? You cant compete in sports , education nor commerce. Who are your intellectuals...that fat pig asari that could barely breath..lmao

jargons as usual... oya go rest...doooh...

RobbStark:
Having gone thro the write up as posted by the OP, all I can deduce is that the write up tried to twist the truth just like they have done in the past to separate the Ijaw speaking tribes of the Delta. But it failed.

Be it Kalabari, Ibani.....bonny n Opobo, Okrika, nembe, brass, et al, they are all Ijaws.
Say what you want, it won't change anything concerning that.

The same people they tried to separate meets regularly under the umbrella of the Ijaw National Congress. Even when IYC meets, no such separation was ever discussed but rather the need to always stay the course of the Ijaw race.

This is all I have to say,,,,,, continue ranting here n there, open threads upon threads, Ijaws are one and your rants ends here in Nland.


Peace

Then take it to the kalabari people.

SlayerForever:
I can see owu there meaning water people! May that be a variation of Oru in Igbo??!!!!!!



Anyways, what I can get from this writeup is that Ijaw are just playing games. And the Kalabari being much older (according to article) cannot agree to descending from a more recent Ijaw. Logical analysis.

This would also indirectly call into question the claims of some Igbo tribes to have descended from a more recent Bini, when the Igbo have been documented to be far far older (as even heralded by Ooni and some other monarchs in the know). It is a stupid claim indeed as indirectly illustrated by this article.

The article is about Kalabari and Ijaw. It has nothing to do with Igbo and we don't know how igbo came into the discussion.

Fejoku:
Anyone who knows Kalabari's history very well know that they're descendants of mixed people with Igbo and Ijaw being the largest contributors. Efik, Ibibio and edoids around down Niger tributaries also added to the fold making the place a cocktail of different persons. Two things however standout which is the language and culture of the people. Igbo language is predominant there together with a dialect similar to Ijaw but the customs and traditions resemble that of coastal people around the area specifically more of the Ijaws. Areas traditionally regarded as Kalabari doesn't include Okrika and Bonny. These two see themselves different even up till date.
This recent story of carving a niche for themselves isn't surprising. In fact, it is expected because the truth is that there's hardly any sincerity in the creation of numerous 'ethnic nationalities in Rivers state. There's hardly any state in Nigeria that is as politically jinxed as Rivers state. Even Ogoni don't agree that they all are one. Some Igbo groups there have the same problem. Now even the Kalabari have started their own. I expect the Andoni and Nkoro to start their own too.
There's too much lies in Rivers state.

What did you mean by 'No State is as politically jinxed as Rivers State'?

Of course, you wouldn't know. You are a Yoruba man.

Bka.yy, Nwanyiowas.hi, Idenn.a, Slayerfo.rever, Ekealtere.go, Capta.in8 and others who thought this was bullshit, this story is now featuring currently on IgbereTV FAcebook page with a lot of comments. Maybe you can see other opinions there too.

Of course it's not bullshit. We Igbos are usually in the know and we school people here for free.

you should first learn how to make correct sentence. Your English sucks

Vintagepipes:
They are also claiming Okirika too. wahala dey but vehemently maintain they are not Ijaw.

Mr man Okrika is an ijaw clan no sane wakirike man or woman boy or girl will deny being ijaw.You igbos should not carry your desperate measures near my people.

Vintagepipes:
Igbo this, Igbo that. This was not written nor conceived by an Igbo group or people but rather, a Kalabari group and cosigned by Kalabari sons and daughters... dispute the content of the warnings and stop transferring aggression to a different group of people.

Mr man! I am not from kalabari so i don't really care if they are ijaws or not, that is none of my business. I'm only here because you said that the ijaws are looking for trouble by adding my people (Okrika) into their ijaw republic.
I am here to make it clear to you that Okrika is an ijaw clan and the ijaws have every rights to add us into their republic. Other than that, i don't give a fvck!

That is what is in the declaration by the Kalabari groups, sons and daughters and not any Igbo person or Igbo group. The Kalabari groups declared this... Your attention should go to them and refute the claims and stop looking for a way to rope Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa into the discussion.

You can't read or what? i said that i don't care.
But between me and you, i know a lot of kalabaris who said they are ijaws tho.

Of course, that can be the case in reality. The region is a hotbed for identity crises. Every village wants to be an "Ethnic nationality" in River state today. Some, rightfully so, while for others it is politics ....What I did not understand is how you were able to rope in others who had absolutely nothing to do with the issue on the ground.

Is Okrika also kalabari? Cause i don't understand your reply to worworboy tbh.

You're just funny...
After claiming okirika, you now want to claim kalaɓarị?
For your information though... There are no Ijo in Rivers State

Graysons:

My initial statement was actually a stretch. They just claimed links to Abame in Okirika as part of the "7 original wards". However, Okirika as a whole was never claimed to be under kalabari according to the declaration

It is not my fault that you can't understand English. I said that i don't really care if the kalabaris are ijaws or not as i am not from kalabari. But between me and that vintagepipes, i know a lot of kalabaris who said that they are ijaws.
How does that means that i'm claiming kalabari? What kind of human being are you? Mr man Wakirike is 100% an ijaw clan.

We don't have any identity criss in Okrika oga, Okrika has always been an ijaw clan right from creation and will remain so.

Well, I also never mentioned that Okirika people themselves claimed anything else or otherwise.
