I no understand those people. Even Opobo- they say it’s Ijaw but everybody including the Governor speak Igbo

Your likes are among the most foolish human being I have ever encountered on Niaraland. Scottish Welsh Irish British all speak English but England is not forcing them to be English.

Foolish people like you need to be beaten beyond redemption so that you can desist from exhibiting this level of foolishness among humans.

Very soon they will claim Gwoza in Bornu state belong to them

Igbo bu Igbo!

Truth is they are ijaw towns with majority Igbo population now due to the slave trade. If you don't understand, please pass. If you like insult me, I'm Igbo too.

Guy don't talk nonsense if you don't have anything meaningful to say.

How is kalabari Igbo? From dialect to culture to anything you can think about, is totally different from the Igbo tribe.

The Opobo people speak Igbo language and they aren't kalabari people. Kalabari is different from Opobo.

I won't drag anybody to bear the ijaw tag or Igbo tag but your language definitely has given you away. There is no argument about that.

If you like answer ijaw by name and speak Igbo by language, you are gone already cos you would be identified as Igbo.

Asari said it recently that 80% of Rivers state is Igboland.
Go and argue with him.

this video is from kalabari kingdom

They are blowing Oja
They are speaking fluid, clear igbo that is even closer to central Igbo than my own dialect
The man they are calling Odogwu has already said, several times, that he is an Igbo man with Igbo ancestors

Is it because he's wearing a british officers hat that you think he's Ijaw lol

this yeye logic of they are 'majority igbo because of slave trade' is foolish and outdated.
How can you have more slaves than locals, or have slaves and adopt the language, culture, customs of the slaves. Your royal family is from the slave not the indigine lineage. Your market days are the slave's market days, your gods are the slaves gods, your instruments are the slaves instruments,

I'm not insulting you because I have heard the same logic the way you heard it but when you sit down and think about it, it sounds like comedy.

Nwanne, I am making it clear. There is no ethnicity called Ijaw in Nigeria except 2 local governments in Bayelsa and they don't even see each other as brothers. Instead they are claiming various coastal Igbo cities for the sake of oil politics. Meanwhile even in Bayelsa it is Igbo people drilling the yeye oil.

You’re the one that deserves to be beaten thoroughly with 2 by 2. Why will you compare apples with grapes?

If the native people in Kalabari speak Igbos, it only mean one thing: THEY ARE IGBOS.

People of England are called English people because their native tongue is English! People of France are called French people because their native tongue is French! The native tongue of people is the number one determinant of their ethnicity!!!

Why do we have so many dense people in Nigeria Little wonder why we have a character like Tinubu as president while everywhere is in chaos.

Spit!

I swear bro, they bring up incoherent topic, ever since i became active on nairaland i have become toxic, the level of disunity this platform overlook is overwhelming, i don't know who the owner is, but he or she should do better.

Are you from England?

Is England a tribe?

Why aren't they speaking their own original tribal language abi they forgot it totally? Why are they speaking igbo and not their own Kalabari language?

Nigerians speak English but we still have our various tribal languages... What is Kalabari tribal language?

Like Obidense?

I do understand where the poster is coming from. The praise singing of Asari Dokubo in this video sounds definitely Igbo Language. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT KALABARI LANGUAGE. ANY KALABARI SPEAKER WILL TELL YOU THAT IS NOT KALABARI AND UNLESS YOU ARE CONVERSANT WITH IGBO LANGUAGE, A KALABARI PERSON WILL NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING SAID IN THAT VIDEO.

Igbo Language and Kalabari are not the same.

English, Igbo and Kalabari for example:

God - Chukwu/Chineke - Tamuno

Good - Nnma- Ibi

Bad - Ojor - Si/gbruru (don’t confuse with Gburu which means yam in Kalabari)

Come - Bia - bo

Go - Gawa - So

Cloth - Akwa - Kapa

Please - Biko - Pasisi

Bush - Ofia - Piri

Head - Ishi - Sibi

House - Ulo - Wari

Road - Uzor - Etela

Market - Ahia - Ogambiri

Dog - Nkita - Obiri

Gun - Egbe - Alagba

Woman/Female - Nwayin - Erebo/ Ereme

Man/Male - Nwoke/Nwobia- Oyibor

Small/Little - Ntakiri - Kala/ Iru

Thank you - imela- E miyete or Emiete

And I could go on and on ...

But there is the general acceptance that due to certain factors especially with the Kalabaris being strong middlemen in the slave trade, just like the Igbanis, the slave trade and general general trade of goods and merchandise led to Igbos settling within Kalabari Communities. Intermarriages happened also, as wives were sought from Igbo land. There has now been a lot of mixing. I doubt if there is a Kalabari family (especially from the major Abonemma, Buguma, Obonoma, etc) without an Igbo grand or great grand relatives. Many Kalabari Men marry Igbo Wives and the Igbo Wives have been known to be very compatible with Kalabari Husbands. Igbo Men marrying Kalabari Women is not so common.

Nonsense as usual.
Igbo is both a tribe and a nation.

You didn't answer any of my questions as usual.

I speak English but have my tribal language which is Igbo.

Going by your own logic what is the tribal language of Kalabari?

Yoruba man go carry Topic way no concern am for head like Afro

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.
Rivers state is a state where the true identity of many indigenes isn't easy to establish due to politics and historical alterations.
