To what extent have they preserved their native Urhobo tongue? Sources online suggest they are now predominantly Izon speaking, and even reckon them as part of the Ijaw Tarakiri clan. 1 Like |

Radoillo: That's true. They even worship ijaw gods. However the blend is more on the side of Urhobo. The people bear Urhobo names, speak a unique but comprehensive variant of Urhobo and identify as Urhobos. 1 Like |

philips70: Thank you. I've gone through it. It's so sad that the minority Urhobos and isokos in Bayelsa are neglected whereas their counterparts in Delta fair much better. |

It's good to know and recognise these diversities in every state even though some petty minded people would take exception to this sort of story if the people were to be Igbo speaking. Then it would become Igbo "land grabbing" or "expansionism". Abuetor, Eke Okpokiri and Osekwenike are native Igbo speaking communities of Bayelsa. The last time it was mentioned, some idi;ots would take none of that. Thanks Op 6 Likes 1 Share |
