Oya go nd remove them from all Ijaw socia-cultural organizations and force them to wherever u want since u claim know their Ancestors pass them.

IDENNAA:
Eri is not the progenitor of the Igbo race , but merely the leader of a migration that gave rise to Nri people. Nri people are chiefly found in Anambra and Anioma/Enuani. I am a decent of Oji Okodu , an Nri man who settled at a place called Abatete and his descendants spread to Umuoji and Umudim -Ideke /Nkpor. Therefore your comparisons of Eri to Ijaw is grossly flawed because whilst Eri is not the name of an ethnic group Ijaw is.

Secondly, Bonny , Kalabari , Okrika , Brass and the rest has no tradition nor legend that trace their origin to Ijaw, except the ones manufactured by you people.

Greatly flawed you say??
Lol, you don't even know about the IBO history. You talk about oji okudo "an nri man" you say. Now isn't menri the founder of Nri? And then in turn isn't menri the second son of ERI?
Lol get out, anyways that is not my business to argue, but go and learn your history well. You don't know your history, you are here to argue my history.
Now whatever you all chose to name your ethnic group has no business with me.
We chose to name ours after ijo and it is our business.
And did I hear you mention okrika kalabari, NEMBE. Etc
Lol,
First of all let me shock you, I am a Nembe man and we all trace our ORIGIN to ijo.
Our counting system is the same, our beliefs and language are similar. I can hear the Calabari and okrika man when they speak, I can hear the ijo man too, as well as the ogbia man.
Do not sit in your house in ABA saying what you don't know.
I stopped taking you all serious when Ekealterego said Nembe was Igbo, then I knew all of you have not even been to any of the clans you want to claim.
Such a pity.
Same with okrika, kalabari etc whom use to originally be a fishing camp till it morph into a town.
Do not think everyone here defending ijo is an ijo man (purely)
We have our various clan but our ethnicity is ijo.

You made an ignorant statement and I corrected you and generously informed you , then you turned around to lecture me about what you know nothing about. Where do you get off ?

MENRI or Ifeukwuanim is the recognized first son of Eri. When you said Nri you are referring to descendants and and whole contingent of Eri-Ifeukwuanim , found in numerous Anambra communities , and Enuani of Delta state. Nri is not a name of a person , just like Ijaw.

I will advice you to focus on learning Ijaw origin, for a start. I have a rich and noble history and I know the story of my people.

Ekealterego:
What does clan mean? The Oguan nation is bigger than a "clan". It is an insult.

Epie-Atissa ethnic nationality deserves respect.

Alabo7978:
A clan or tribe is a CLOSE KNITTED group of INTERRELATED FAMILIES or A SOCIAL DIVISION in a traditional society linked by blood ties and a dialect.

A clan can be big or small, but the vital thing is blood ties and the interrelated families.
Nembe use to have one king before the the 1690's till bassambiri was founded. then in the 1700s obioku was founded, and there are other kingdoms to which were established.
It is growing, and you might feel it is too big to be referred to a clan, but it is bounded by BLOOD TIES and DIALECT.

Now about Epie-attissa, because of the influex of engenni migrants who brought the edoid language, and it corrupted them a bit; perhaps that is what that guy is trying to say, and the other ones are not correlating with him.
Epie-attissa speaks a NIGER-CONGO LANGUAGE, ijo too is a NIGER-CONGO LANGUAGE.

Epie-attissa has another group that speaks the edoid language because of the engenni migrants like I told you, so the other groups who were there before engenni migrants came won't let them pull them.

And let me shock you, do you know a town in engenni has migrants from ogbia? And they speak plain ogbia language which is a NIGER-CONGO LANGUAGE? The name of that town is ogbogolo .
Engenni were conquered by Benin, and they migrated and brought that influence.
This intertwined truth is bigger than you, and it will even confuse you.
Visit the town, stop visiting FACEBOOK
Infact engenni has three languages (one edoid, the other ijoid being the migrants from ogbia)
No matter what, we still hear them to an extent when they speak.
The engenni migrants which even have an ijoid migration faction can not pull the entire Epie-attissa.

Tell us where we trace our Origin to. I too know Igbo man who knows other people history more than them.

Mention the part where I said NRI is the name of a person
I never said that, go back and open your eyes and read again(this time slowly)

And if menri is the first son of ERI, who then is Agulu? (Aguleri) is Aguleri not (agulu-nwa ERI)
When ERI died, according to the Igbo tradition about first sons inheriting their fathers lands, wasn't it Agulu who stayed back to inherit his father's land and founded Aguleri
Then menri left to find umunri(kingdom of Nri) and for this, Aguleri is still the ancestral home of the umunri(kingdom of Nri) despite it being the ancestral home of ERI clan because MENRI MIGRATED FROM THAT PLACE WHICH USE TO BE HIS FATHER'S but inherited by his big bro (AGULU-NWA ERI)

Go and study your history before you come study ours.

SaintBishop:
Help me as am.

BlackSaints:
Tell us where we trace our Origin to. I too know Igbo man who knows other people history more than them.

DitariDisciple2:
Force them to go and join the Edoid group and ask them to leave all Ijaw socia-cultural organizations they belong since Na u wan tell them their Ancestors.
How come all their chiefs u guys posted are answering same name like other Ijaw areas.
And they named them in the Epie Ijaw dialect.

Igboid:
Liar.
Engenni has only one language. Engenni language which is Edoid.

Omanambala:
This is the last time I will reply you on this topic , because it's obvious you are unteachable.

Agulu existed because Eri settled there , whence it became Agulu Eri , due to his influence. There are other Agulu towns like the place where former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi hails from , and Agulu-uzo-Igbo , Victor Umeh's home town. Agulu is not a name of a person. You are dense , oga.

Ifeukwuanim migrated down the Omanbala plain and never made it to Agukwu Nri.

Again , Agulu is not a name of Eri's offspring.

Ekealterego:
Don't try to be clever here.

Most languages in West Africa, except for Northern tribes like Hausa are all Niger Congo. Even Twi in Ghana is Niger Congo.

Ijoh as a language sticks out like a sore thumb. Ijoh is the only different language group in that area. It is more related to Kru in far away Senegal and Sierra-Leone.

More narrowly, Igbo, Yoruba, Edo, Epie and Engenni, Urhobo, Isoko, Akoko are all Volta-Niger people.

Ijoh is different from ALL these languages.

Igboid see this Guy's cunning explainatiin of his version of Niger-Congo. He doesn't know his language is closer to Kru in Sierra-leone than it is to any language in the Niger Delta.

Your lies and frustrations end here.
Anger wey make other Ijaw give Paulker an Opolo Epie man Bayelsa central Senator for 20 straight years shey?
Foolish Ibo man.

Alabo7978:
You will never hear something in this life. The ijo connection in Sierra Leone and Gabon were migrant fishermen who didn't mean to go that far, but were lost at sea.
Even now people get lost whenever the fog covers the water. And before it clears, water go dn carry you.
And you keep being daft...my dialect isn't ijo, it is Nembe, Nembe Nembe for the umpteenth time, so you can't tell me which language in the Niger delta is closer to ijo.
Almost every dialect in the Niger delta is closely related to ijo. Every one under the ijo Ethnic group knows this.

Now look at that screen shot,, do you see how far Volta and edoid are placed?

Alabo7978:
Engenni is made up of five major clans known as Enuedua (Joinkrama), Ogua, Ejiro—Ede, Ejiro-Ekunu, and Ogbogolo Clans. The former are your edoid. Ogbogolo isn't.

I want to emphasize on ogbogolo because that language is easily a mixture of Nembe and ogbia.
Ogbogolo is made up of Egbama, Opu-Ogbogolo, and Kala-Ogbogolo.
Ogbogolo itself speaks an ogbia-like language and it isn't far from Nembe because the engenni river is connected to the tailor and kolo creek which ARE ROUTES TO NEMBE AND OGBIA.
In Nembe in particular, we have opu Nembe too.
Opu means big, kala means small.
You are busy shouting liar, ode.
Give me speed boat, I will transport you to all the rivers, creeks and settlements because I know them Wella.
You that is shouting liar, Dem put you for canoe to navigate the same people you're claiming you know, you will go missing.

Omanambala:
You are not here to learn , because it seems you already made up your mind.

By the way , I never said Okrika are Igbo but I know danm well their forebears are Igbo.

Ekealterego:
SAINTBISHOP replying BLACKSAINTS... hahaha..

Joro to Joro.

DitariDisciple2:
The Ijaw Youth Council Chairman Epie clan, is same Ebi with me, and they named him in his Epie Ijaw dialect, and named me in my Kolokuma Ijaw dialect.
I'm Tari Ebi.
He is Ambozibe Ebi.

Mumu Ibo people.

BlackSaints:
This make no sense at all.

IDENNAA:
Does anything makes sense to an Ijaw man?? Lol

BlackSaints:
Mr man,what you wrote is absolutely nonsense that's why I said it does not make any sense at all.
How come Okrika people who are ijaws can't trace their Origin to ijaws, how is that even possible? You an outsider can't Know my people Origin more than me!
