I suppose Asari isn't Kalabari since he calls himself Ijaw.

Have heard the way Kalabaris greet at their meetings?

Kalabari and Izon have great differences abeg. The similarities are appreciated too. Thanks.

SlayerForever:
Ijaw and the others share similarities but Kalabari is not Ijaw. At worst descended from similar place. The infusion of other cultures like Igbo, Efik etc into Okrika/Kalabari has made them different. Like the Edo and Urhobo example I gave. The problem is that Ijaw wants everybody to be Ijaw. Imagine if Edo wanted Urhobo to be Edo by force. So they start rewriting Urhobo history. This makes Kalabari to run to Igbo side where their identity is preserved

Tell that to these Kalabari guys.
Asari Dokubo former Ijaw Youth Council President Worldwide and tell it to Atamuno A Atamuno present Ijaw National Congress Vice President.
Also tell it to Tamuno Piriye, Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization present Secretary.
All these are Kalabari people.

Asari Dokubo always say Ibos are Ijaw slaves, he never said that ibos are Kalabari slaves.

I reach u remain.

All Ibo rants end on Nairaland.
Go and claim the Ijaw territories physical, and stop creating post in the name of Ijaw areas saying that Ijaws are not Ijaws, the post that ibos create in the name of Ijaw won't work.
Go claim Ijaw areas physical.

BKayy:

Everything about Ijaw is built on Lies. Like the "Perekule" grand lie

You say nobody bears Osondu as a name in Opobo?
Then explain the picture below. The name of President General "Ọfọ n'ogu" Movement of Nigeria (OPOBO)

Robbstark they catch you with two hand here

Okay. If both are the same why do Izon not understand Kalabari?

I was shocked when I visited Yenagoa, capital of Bayelsa and I called one man "Ijo man"

The guy warned me never to try that again.

I asked around and learnt that they are Epie. They told me categorically that They are not Ijo despite Ijo trying to blackmail them to claim Ijo.

What I noticed is that they relate well with Igbos more than their supposed Ijo brothers.

Izon is a term Ijos created to grab people's land.

It's fraud.

Kalabari is NEVER Ijo but if you say Izon, we might argue that.

Ijaw understand Kalabari very well. It's because ibos know nothing about Ijaws and they propagate lies.
Just like they said Ijaws of Edo and Delta don't share boundaries in one useless and fake map.

There isn't any difference between Izon and Ijo/Ijaw.It is the same thing.

A typical Ijaw calls himself Izon.Ijaw/Ijo is what the non-Izon call us.There is no 'J' sound in the Izon alphabet.

Look here young man we're not here for jokes. Kalabari don't understand Izon and vice versa. Kalabari understand the Nembe/Okrika people. They speak the same language with different dialects. So don't come here writing thrash.

So now we're clear tell us why Izon don't understand Kalabari.

Op the fight is already over. Ijaws have been exposed as the fraudulent pseudo ethnicity that they are.

Nothing you say or do at this point will change anything.

Let sleeping dog rest and enjoy your one Nigeria while it last. Your day of reckoning is yet to come.

For now we are satisfied bursting all your shallow lies.

When time come we will point you to your 3 local governments.

Any step outside of that will be dealt with accordingly.

Lol you're here arguing instead of solving the border issue you whining about? Lol everyone here like debating endlessly online because they know people are fine with the status quo in real life. That's why its gets silent when someone like me tells yall the constitutional process to solving this issue.

horsepower102:
I have been exploring google maps and i cannot come to terms with the state lines drawn around the south east.

The state line between:

Imo state and rivers state doesn’t make sense.

Abia state and rivers state doesn’t make sense.

Ebonyi state and cross river state doesn’t make sense

Arochukwu areas of Abia state and cross river state and Akwa ibom is very questionable.

Anambra north and kogi doesn’t make sense

Enugu and Ebonyi northern areas doesn’t make any sense.

Whomever drew those map after the civil war and during state creation really really really hated igbos and wanted to desperately limit their geography in the future Nigeria. This is why you have igbos clans forcefully carved into neighboring states. This is injustice and pure wickedness

I urge everyone to study those boundaries on google map and tell me if those lines make any sense.

Who told you Izons don't understand themselves.There are variations in dialects, overall we still understand each other.Some dialects are more similar.

Unlike other languages like Ibo and Yoruba with a central dialect,Izons do not have a central dialect.A Kabou man from Bayelsa/Delta will communicate with an Arugbo man from Ondo,with each of them speaking their dialects.Same with Kalabari and Mein or Wakirike etc

OfficialAPCNig:

Epie is never ever Ijaw... never was and never will be.
Ijaws do not have any civilised city they can call theirs exclusively. The capital of Bayelsa is not an Ijaw town.

You are not being truthful.Ebonyi dialect is difficult to understand,just like those from Nsukka.Even in Anambra,there are variations.

For political reasons Ebonyi are called Igbos when it suits your agenda.When it doesn't,you refer to them as fake Igbos.

Yes my good man I am well aware than the Izon of Bayelsa, Delta and Arogbo understand themselves. You see I actually know the areas where Izon proper is spoken. There are about 28 identifiable dialects of Izon and Nembe, Okrika, Kalabari is not part of these 28. They are different languages altogether.
