Culture / Some Speech Quirks About Ijaw (BAYELSA) People. by Sinistami(m): 10:30pm On Sep 24, 2018 |
The Ijaw people are a collection of people from the Deep South Niger delta of Nigeria. They Speak Nine Closely related Niger congo languages which include Izon (The one thats most Popular) Kalabari Epie Ibani Defaka Nkoro etc. In this thread i will be telling you about some various quirks mostly linguistically. 1 Fis for Fish (Silent H): This is one of the most popular ways of identifying an Ijaw Person, the total destruction of the H sound and letter in their Speech because Naturally most Ijaw languages dont have H in them making Fish Sound like Fis Shop to Sop, House to Ouse or As (If the Ijaw Person is from Yenagoa or Warri) John to Zon etc and adding the H to Words that dont have H Eg Sip to Ship Zip to Jip etc. Although this particular Characteristic isn't unique to Just the Ijaws only as you would find it among the Yoruba too the Ijaw people does it all through not only to Just Vowel sounds. Although This Trait is beginning to Vanish among many Ijaw people this days especially those of turning Fish to Fis others like House to Ouse or As still is very much Alive. 2 The Ehh Intensifier: Ever been to Bayelsa Before and never found your self adding Ehh at the end of your Sentences? If no then the place you went to Isnt Bayelsa you hear! In Yenagoa you'd hear everybody saying things like "Gimme ehh!" adding ehh to Intensify the Sentence it is very hard for a person to come to Bayelsa and not have that attached to his speech in a period of Two weeks different from colloquial Nigerian intensifiers like "O" and "Ehn" Its used to intensify pleas and make it sound a little bit more forcefull. Eg "Leave me Ehh!" "Abeg Ehh" etc. 3 Eyooo Eyoooo :This one is a very Funny one used by mostly Bayelsans its hard to explain but i can do it through an example. Eg "No reason all dem eyooo eyooo talk dem just do am." English translation : Dont listen to what anybody else says about it just do it" 4 No C word: All C words turn to S automatically like Church to Shosh even in the speech of Non Izon speaking Youngsters. And Thats all fot now. |

So what's this one about. why are you always going on about Nigerian men. You haven't been to the country before you only watch vids and movies from Nollywood and listen to Nigerian music. You could have just put the threads name at Nigerian Men and they mentality. I doubt if you have even spoken to a Nigerian man more than Thrice sef. |

I swear I taya for BY and cultism. If you stay live or are from Yenagoa or PH you'd know that this is a normal occurrence. where I stay in Yenagoa Amarata we're always running or ducking Stray bullets (Slight Exaggeration though) but its true. Any way things have Changed for the good though. it can't be compared to the Cult war of 2007 to 2013 you'd relate if you grew up in Yentown. |

Culture / Some Ijaw Myths And Folklore by Sinistami(m): 3:39pm On Aug 26, 2018 |
The Ijaw nation has lots of Interesting Myths Folklores and Folktales that are passed down from one Generation to another. Most of this myths include water. They are. 1 The Myth of Woyingi: In Ijaw Folklore Woyingi is the maker of Humans. Ijaw Culture was originally very Maternal. Woyingi is depicted to be a woman who created Humans and gave them their Destiny according to their choices. There is a folktale about a Woman named Ikpoeba who chose to be a very strong magic user instead of a mother and at the end of it all later went on a journey back to Woyingi to change her destiny. 2 Bene-kurukuru (Izon subgroup language) Omouokpe (Epie-Attisa) Longi-Shoti (Pidgin): This one isn't really a myth I've seen it with my own eyes. The tale Of Bene-kurukuru: Black Juju Is a story of a tall black Juju that appears in rivers and creeks were children bath to snatch them. One of its arms is Short while one long and can Stretch really far hence its name longi-Shoti in Pidgin. It uses his long hand to Stretch and Catch a target while the other one to tickle the person if the person laughs then he's dead meat but if he doesn't laugh it tosses him out to the river to escape but it would catch the target again if he slacks escaping. 3 Running doors: This one is Quite funny its found mostly among the Epie-Attisa of Yenagoa. It is said that in the olden days if you bang on a door for far too long it would leave the door post and run away when you're asleep. 4 The Notoks: I don't know much about this one but among the Nembe people of Nembe Local Government Area they are myths about long eared Human like creatures who live in the Forest. It is said once that a canoe who used to carve his canoe near the water side would always leave his half done canoe only to come back and see it finished the next day and it would be done so half haphazardly. This happened to him for months then one day he stayed back and watched at 12 Midnite he saw several long eared tailed short Humanoid creature coming to complete his canoe he jumped out trying to catch them but he only caught one, but that one begged him nor to take him home and he would give him what his heart desired but the man disagreed wanting to take it prisoner and show to his customers the person that was ruining the canoes. He took it home but as soon as he went out to announce it the notoks escaped and ran away crying a very loud cry that the entire village heard and from then the Man and his entire linage was cursed with Porverty. It is said that even till now the descendants of the man in Nembe still suffer poverty. 5 The Forest changing faces: It is said that the Forest changes the faces of newborn babies and people who're just entering it for the first time giving them new faces. I don't know much about this though. It is said that you shouldn't shout the name of a person in the forest that the spirits would steal it for they own. 6 In Ijaw custom it is taboo to flog a person with a broom it is said the spirit of the broom would walk around the body. Although this belief isn't much believed now especially the spirit part you still can't go to Yenagoa and flog your child with a broom. There are other myths though but for now you can add whether Yoruba Igbo or Hausa any culture. 1 Like |

Moorish: Oh That's a first! Coming from a Non ondo Yoruba person. one thing I find strange about the Ijaws is that they bear names that are borne by ancient Yoruba and Benin people. Eg Ere Adumu Ogu (Ogun) Ogbogbodiri Ekaladeran Igodo etc. |
