These words form part of many Igbo People's or place's names but they are not commonly used in everyday speech today.

Abua/ Odua L.G.A. belong to the Abua/ Odua ethnic group or Abua and Odua ethnic groups.

No. Ogu/ Bolo is considered to be Okrika, an Ijoid ethnic group related to the Kalabari. However, many people from Ogu / Bolo trace their ancestry to the Igbo people. And the Igbo language is widely spoken in Ogu / Bolo. So they are considered by many to be Igborized Ijaws, or maybe Ijorized Igbos.
