To be sincerely, I have never seen an Ijaw person in my life but I have seen more than 200 Ibibiod(Including Oron and Anang) people. I have a feeling that Ibibio and Edo people are more than Ijaw 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Armaggedon:Efik does not even ocuppy the whole of crossrivers. Efik is just Calabar, Odukpani and parts of Ugep and crossrivers south. Crossriver north and Central speak some other languages. They are small. In akwa Ibom, Ibibio is not the same as Anang or Oron. They are different. With my own personal experience, I hardly see Ijaw people. I think southsouth Igbos are largest. 9 Likes 1 Share |

garfield1:Although the population of Igbos in crossriver and Edo is very small, but they are certainly more than 1 ward in especially crossriver. Itigidi, the local government headquarters of Abi local government area in crossriver is an Igbo enclave. Itigidi has more than 1 ward. And itigidi is not only the Igbo speaking community in Crossriver 7 Likes |

Re: Ten Largest Ethnicities In South South by FatherOfJesus: 6:39pm On Apr 11 |
garfield1:You see, that means efik is even smaller than I thought. Same as ibibio. Just that, as an outside, you can hardly different an ibibio from an Anang and Oron people. Akwa Ibom also has large population of Igbo speaking communities along Abia state border axis. 2 Likes |

NaMe4:Does the bini ancestry thing make sense to you? There's no record or whatsoever of Igbo people colonizing them. How can they claim that because you traded with igbos, you started baring Igbo names and even named your kings Eze. I'm very sure that you re not stupid enough to believe such jargons. Does that sound stupid to you? Even an idiot should not believe such nonsense. Those nonsense stories don't exist in history, those guys doing that for poltical reasons 4 Likes 1 Share |

FatherOfJesus: Oga,itigidi is not Igbo even if they sometimes bear igbotic names.they are agbo if you say they are igbos,then all other agbo communities are Igbo like adadama,imabana,ekureku.they dont identify as igbo please.those that are igbos are isobo in obubra.they are under osopong ward. |

FatherOfJesus: Abia also have a large population of akwa ibom speakers along the border. Oron is very disting from Ibibio and annang.it is Ibibio and efik that are more close then annsng and ekid |
Re: Ten Largest Ethnicities In South South by FatherOfJesus: 6:48pm On Apr 11 |
garfield1:Itigidi speak ikwo Igbo and waawa Igbo along side Agbo. They are very closely related to ikwo people of ebonyi. Not all of them though. And even Wawaa itigidi is a separate form of Igbo dialect that is in Ebonyi and crossriver. This is list of all the languages in Abi, local government of Crossriver From the list, you can see that Igbo, Kohumono and Agbo are the majority in Abi local government. 3 Likes

garfield1:expecially when the person is telling you hurtful truths and providing you facts that you can't disprove. You want to hide under " indigene" to console. First it was that they don't accept to be called Igbo ( who ever told you that) therefore I will not count them as Igbo. Lol 🤡 clown Second it was that they are not gazetted as Igbos therefore I will not count them as Igbos. I wonder when government start creating ethnic groups. You third excuse now is that I am not an indegene. You are practically begging me to stay off the issue so that you'll be free to make wild and self consoling claims about the so called South South. Are you aware that when Obi wali wanted Rivers state to be in the south East, Riverine groups agreed? 🤡 clown. 9 Likes 1 Share |

garfield1:I have been to itigidi via Abaomege in Ebonyi, close Afikpo for an outreach. That was the first time I knew that part of them speak Igbo. So it's not a matter of you telling me, i have been there live. Some part of Ebonyi speak Oring, a crossriverian language as well. As a matter of fact, there are some evidence that Abakaliki was formally an Orring land before the igbos got there. So there's nothing to be walked up about even igbos speaking communities are in crossrivers but I know you people do this because of politics 4 Likes |
