Ah, its like looking for Igbo Muslim bro.
Apart from hausa, Igbos I think Edos are still the people wey significant in SW.

I've met some Akwaibom people.but I no know their tribe.
And yes I've also seen like 3 to 4 urhobos

richmond500:
u can't meet Ijaw, they aren't as distinct as Akwaibom, Igbo, Hausa, Fulani or Yoruba.

We don't have a particular facial structure or tribal recognition like Hausa and Fulani or skin colour like Igbo or an accent like Akwaibom.

Personally, I have facial structure exactly like a Fulani lady, so u can't just see me and think I am ijaw except I tell u.

Omoluabi1stborn:


Okay agreed Ijaws are up to 7M and even more.

But accept the fact that they are not up to 15M
Not even 12M
Even 10M (still debatable)

richmond500:
I'm done with the argument, u started with ijwa is not up to 5m, then u said they aren't 7m now u are saying 10m is debatable?

If I continue further, u might be convinced to put ijaw at 20m so lemme stop here. Its my win.

Do have a nice evening.

If they can't be populated in their home state (bayelsa) how can they be populated outside Home state

Monogamy:


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

Omoluabi1stborn:


Let's assume we have 30M Igbos in Nigeria.

Are you telling me we have less than 15M igbos in SE?

Never!
Not possible.
You can't be less populated in ur Source

Monogamy:


If I am not mistaken they are above average 50%.

SE landmass can't contain her people should they decide to all return home..

Omoluabi1stborn:


Yet they still have many unused landmass.

Monogamy:


Many? In 2-3 decades na China style of building SE would be building cos there won't be more excess land for building..

To start with, SE billionaires alone have acquired at least 30% of the unoccupied land in SE at the moment, The like of Arthur Eze and co.. Some are only acquired to add to family glory not for reselling or projects at the moment..

Omoluabi1stborn:


Well........ Mouth sealed for now

Monogamy:


It's something worth discussing within some Igbo's caucus.. Reason why the price of land is expensive in SE

Omoluabi1stborn:


Let's end the chapter, I no wan be quoted up and down, they'll be telling us we are hating igbo now or Obsessed with igbos

richmond500:
Bayelsa population is more than 2m, I schooled there.

Ijaw has up to 20 languages, let's assume that each of these language has 500 speakers, that's about 10m people even though u know that Okrika, Kalabari and main Ijaw has more than 500 speakers each. Infact Akuku-Toru, Asari-Toru and Degema LGA alone has more than 500 persons each

Kondomatic:
Somebody should educate me please.




How can one tribe have up to twenty languages?

Omoluabi1stborn:
Abeq, who dash ijaws 15million population

They are majorly in Bayelsa, yet Bayelsa population is not up to 2million.

Or I'm I missing something

horsepower102:
There is no single archaeological finding that points to ancient ijaw civilization in the Niger delta region. But you can find archeological findings of efik, Igbo, ibbibio, annang etc.

Just like the Fulanis, they are settlers that turned into occupiers.

afube:






100% truth, Ijaw true roots is in Ghana!!!

horsepower102:


A lot of groups that they claim their lands are just tolerating them for the sake of peace but their day of reckoning is coming. And just like the Fulanis will answer to their evils, so would the ijaws. It’s just a matter of time.

Ekealterego:

When did OPobo and Bonny whose native tongue is Igbo started speaking Ijaw? Ijaw with their number inflation.

djperoski2010:

Thank you MNK. if you survive your hate in jail, come front come challenge ijaw people if your corpse No go float for river Niger!

richmond500:
Opobo speak different languages and not even Ijaw, Kalabari doesn't speak Ijaw, they speak language called Kalabari, Okriki speak a language called Okirika language, stop displaying foolishness, Ijaw is a language and also a tribe, the tribe speak different languages and not all speak the ijaw language

Weinberg:


Then what makes them Ijaw if their language is not understood by Ijaw people?
Their language is not even a dialect of Izon

htdot:

I know most Igbos are not smart.
You will tell me the meaning of amayanabo in ibo

Eastlink:
Amanayabo is not Ijaw. Pere is the Ijaw version of leader or King. Amanayabo is what Bonny and Opobo called her Kings before Kalabari, Okrika and Nembe copied that culture.

Pray tell us the meaning of Amanayabo in Izon language. But Amanayabo has a meaning in Ndoki.

richmond500:
na wa o.
This is the essence of youth service corps, u are allowed to go out and appreciate the cultural diversity in Nigeria but u chooses to chase secondary school girls.

Ijaw is a tribe, also ijaw is a dialect.
While the ijaw tribe speak different dialect, [s]there is a particular dialect called ijaw dialect which is not spoken by everyone[/s]

Eastlink:
You meant pidgin English. Taa, keep quayet. Tell us the central Ijaw dialect spoken by all political Ijaws. Even the fake Kolokuma-Opokuma dialect stays in Southern Bayelsa and Delta to an extent. No Rivers community speaks that trash. Kalahari is a language on it's own, the same applies to Degema, Odua, Abua, and Okrika.

htdot:

Ama=town or kingdom in nembe, yanabo mean=my own....
What does it mean in igbo?

richmond500:
good, thank God u know this.

Now one thing about Nigeria is cultural diversity, stop thinking all cultures are the same.
Ijaw is a language, while Igbo is a tribe and a language, Ijaw is a tribe and within this tribe, we have different dialects.

I do not expect u to understand sha, u have spend ur entire life in ur shop selling condenced milk, travel out and see the beauty of Nigeria

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.
