No no no. We need to do away with lies. Whatever one wants to identify as is his personal decision. But the truth must always be spoken.


Okrika did not even deal much on slaves because Bonny would not allow them and there was nothing they could do to change that. Bonny was too powerful. The Okrika were originally Igbo. Then the Ijaw came in later. Screenshot attached (from 1800s).
That your screenshot is absolutely nothing but nonsense. Okrikan people are not related to igbos in anyway, the igbos in Okrika are descendant of Igbo slaves who were bought by their masters as they don't belong there.

Listen and listen very carefully Mr man any Okrikan who said he or she understands Igbo or speak Igbo is a descendant of Igbo slaves. Okrikans don't understand igbo as we consider igbo as a foreign slave language. And btw Okrika people don't use Imama.

Please and please,if you are from Opobo and Bonny, or Okrirka, or any other Igbo speaking coastal town and these Ijaws call you Igbo slaves because you're their neighbors, throw them back to the creeks where they belong. Ijaws have no levels with you people. Your lands were never created with slave growth, it was and can never happened. This is the lies Ijaws spread to make you shy away from your ancestral language and accept theirs, its a high level of witchcraft.

Okrika people Igbo speaking? You must be high on weed what a stupid thing to say. And speaking of witchcraft,it is your Igbo brother Odili who use witchcraft to nearly wipe out Okrika people from existence.

Wrong notion to base the Igbo language in Okrika on slavery. Okrika were originally peopled by Igbos before the Izon language came in, hence the reason why your people speak a transition language of Igbo/Okrika.

The Igbo language spoken should be strongly Aro based, Aro is a leading figure in Igboland. The language didn't come in by slavery.
Lies Aro is esablished as an Akpa/Akampka dynasty. That s where the Nnub brothers came from .They were not Eboes.Their descendants reign in Aro till today.
They came conquered and took over using aro as a base for selling millions of Eboes as slaves. They did not see themselves as Eboes.When slavery ended millions of Ibo speaking slaves were freed and the language became dominant but Eze Ibom Aro is not Eboe. His ancestors enslaved Eboes and sold them foo centuries

They are from the same people but there is a historic schism between them so they don't relate to each other despite living next to each other

Thank you man, I'll really appreciate it. But just to clarify. There's a town called Geroge Ama, And there's also a town called Ndubis Ama?

Ndibuisi shares the same island with Ogan Ama but they are from George Ama. However the two sides don't cross boundary into each others land historically despite sharing the same Island due to some historic beef I can't recall

Chief Ogan and Chief George broke out from Okrika mainland and cultivated those islands together and were best friends. I don't know the origin of the beef with Ndibuisi but I suspect Ndibuisi may have been a house within George that had problem with Chief George and fled to seek refuge on Ogan island, and later fell out with Chief Ogan or his descendants
