I agree with you on the bolded. Ijaw is a tribe and a language. But the tribe and language of this Ijaw people is limited to a small area.

Well, every tribe has limitations.

I just want to let u know that despite we speak different dialects, it doesn't stop us from being ijaws.

Eastlink:
Ama as far as I know has no Ijaw root, it was copied from Ndoki and the Oru’s which spread to other Ijaw communities.

Ama - means town in Ndoki
Yanabo - means owner or leader in Ndoki

Now you see what it means.

Amayanabo has it's roots from Ndoki.

hmmmm, so Kalabari, Okrika, Bonny, Bille all stole the Ndoki language?

And since Bonny belongs to Igbo cos they share some similarities with Ndoki it then means Kalabari is also Igbo abi.

Haha, delusional land grabbers

Feed your eyes. There's a thread where a Kalabari man debunked the fake Ijaw claim to his tribe. I’m a Rivers man and every grown up River person knows the antagonism of Kalabari people towards the Ijaw claim. The Kalabari’s kept quiet in old Rivers state but as soon as you landgrabbers were sent packing to Bayelsa, they found their voice. Any wonder why the Kalabari’s vehemently bite your hands when you tried dragging them along but choose to remain in Rivers state.

Not just one person, majority Kalabari say the same thing. In the past Kalabari used to be a language on it's own with several dialect. But they got subsumed into the political Ijaw ethnic group who sought to dominate old Rivers state.
Infact in the eastern region, Kalabari was a recognized language that was understood by many riverine folks. Where was the so-called Izon language when men counted as men? The Izon language had to gain relevance in 1974 when Prof. Alagoa who on the payroll of Ijaw led Rivers government went on research to foist a scam language on the people.

haters will hate, potatoes will potate.

Kalabari is ijaw, Google is ur friend

richmond500:

A true Kalabari man won't use the word core. This is where you gave yourself. The Kalabari’s are proud people.

The Kalabari people say otherwise. Even the Okrika who benefitted more from the Ijaw shenanigans all thanks to how you elevated them to Governorship (Ada George) and how you gifted P/H south to them have suddenly began to assert themselves.

Igbo man from Nnewi is telling us who is ijaw and who isn't ijaw.
The ijaws must be ur nightmare

just look at the level u have reduced urself to, using one word to attack me.

When I mean core, I am saying I am a true Kalabari man, my ancestral lineage is traced to Kalabari even way back to the 1800 generation

richmond500:
let's assume that each of these language has only 500 speakers, that is 7m people, Akuku Toru LGA alone should be more than 1m persons

IJAW ARE NOT UP TO QUARTOOF IGBO POPULATION IN RIVERS STATE, I DIDNT SAY PH O

Na just one blunder. I haven't even started you don begin to stammer.

, I see, such a failure u are

Monogamy:


That logic is flop.. More than average Igbos are outside their region

He's talking about state not region or country.

There is no state that has a higher number of Igbos than say Anambra or Imo - there are up to roughly 6000000 Igbos in either of the two states. Even Lagos with a high percentage of Igbos might not be up to that.

r4bbit:
That is a cumulative population value...
Didnt you read what you post ?

Why use only bayelsa as case study:
Where your post clearly mentioned,ondo, edo, rivers state and even countries like west Sierra Leone and east Gabon....


To add to your post ijaw languages include; Izon, Kalabari, Obolo, Ibani, Wakirike, Nkoroo, Nembe, Ogbian, Kabou, Buseni, Atala, Bille, Kula, Apoi, etc.

So there is no need to start another tribalistic thread.

We are also indigenous in Ogun and Lagos state too, not only Ondo, Edo, and Riverstate

There are no indigenous I jaws in Ogun and Lagos states you lunatic. If they are, mention their local government chairman or king.

What does having a king have to do with being indigenous?

You're senseless . when you are indigenous to a place, you would have a king or chief there who would be the leader .
For example apoi and arogbo are ijaw settlements in ondo state even though they mostly speak Yoruba

Now I'm asking you again, what are the indigenous ijaws in Lagos state called, who is their leader , which area are they, where is their land

From ijaw edited wiki.

For example eguns are in Ogun and Lagos states but they have their own kings, land , settlements which everyone in Lagos and Ogun states know of.
So I'm asking you again, where are the indigenous I jaws in Lagos state, what's the name of their king/chief, what's the name of their settlement called, where is their land so I can buy land there in Lagos state

If you can't give me answers to these, then you are a typical slow low IQ I jaw slave
