This is another confused Attire and culture.... melding between Delta Igbo and yoruba.... I pity them, they should make their choice soonest where to align, Odua or Biafra

Have you seen any Yoruba poster here crying about them? The Ishekiri bridal attire even looks more Edo than anything Igbo or even Yoruba sef. Why is it always only you guys? Why? Why? Why?

These are typical kalabari brides.
Very similar to Ijaws but the Kalabaris wrapper is like a skirt and it has a bow underneath the hips.

An Edo man calling me a fool, der is nothing we won't see everyday. I am not from Italy, I have no brother or sister in italy, so I don't see what I want to argue with u.

Okay human trafficking is a problem, but why are you acting like you people are holy holy?... If people start lableing Igbos as drug peddlers, money ritualists and the like, you would whine and cry like the weak, pathetic sack of shitt that you are. And FYI, it is common knowledge that Igbo girls dominate in local ashawo business. Bloody idiot.

This Ijaw swag is dangerous. Haba!

Then u haven't met ur sisters Dwarf republic

The Amanyanabo of the prestigious and ancient Opobo Kingdom.

Then finally, permit me to introduce to you the most legendary SS King ever.
Ordinarily, people die for Kings. But This King was willing to die for his people. Nigeria as a whole owes part of her Independence struggles to him.

Ladies and gentlemen..... King Jaja of Opobo.

Afam4eva:

You are the one that is cobfused here. No one has said that the SS is a heterogenous region buy you have taken it upon yourself to pick fights where there is none. With the way you're going, if I was from those Igbo areas in the SS, I wouldn't want to have anything to d do with your kind. Youre a disgrace.

The OP was trying to paint a homogeneous picture of the SS. Trying to link Two completely unrelated states like Edo and Cross River.

It's only right that she be cut to size.

She was trying to state areas where there are similarities. We all know the SS are not heterogenous but there are definitely areas that they are similar. If you out the SE in the mix, it will still gel. So, I don't know what the issue is.

No, it wont gel. Cross Rivers simply has nothing in common with Edo state, other than the fact that they are both members of the black race. The common uniting factor of ND which was crude oil, is now even absent in Cross Rivers.

Nothing! No pre colonial history, no colonial history, no shared culture, no shared language, no shared dressing style that is not obtainable everywhere else in Nigeria, no shared food styles, nothing!

The purpose of the thread was to show the homogeneity of SS, if you can't see that, then sorry for you.

As long as we still have a huge chunk of Igboland trapped in SS, any attempt to show that those Igbo parts have more similarity to groups in SS than the Igbos in SE, will always be opposed furiously by well meaning Igbos.

That's my point.

And I can see how much similarities Cross River has with Enugu. I'm really viewing them in 5D now.

Sweetlemon:

Well, if you are not blind, you can see how much similarity Cross River share with Ndiigbo.

The Efiks and Arochukwu, the Ekoi and Afikpo, etc.
Those are shared culture like( Ekpo, Nsibidi) traditions( twin killing), boundaries, people( the Akpa are an ancient Cross River group that got assimilated into the Cross river Igbo group willingly), inter marriages, trades, etc.

Things that continue even unto this day, that neither Itsekiri,Urhobo, Edo Isoko, etc can ever share with Cross Rivers.

Through the Ehugbo, Izzi and Arochukwu Igbos, Cross river is historically and presently connected to Igbos in everywhere part of Igboland, including Enugu Igbos and Igbos as far away as Igbankes in Edo state.

It's only through Igbanke in Edo, can Bini actually connect to Cross Rivers state historically, culturally, traditionally and otherwise.

As a matter of fact, the only thing that unites the entire artificial creation called SS are Igbo speaking people.

Through their Ndoki-Igbo speaking Neighbors, the Ogoni's can connect traditionally to the Edo via Igbanke( Ika) Efik, via Arochukwu, Isoko/ Uhrobo via Ukwuani, Ekoi via Ehugbo.

There is no SS homogeneity without Igbo speaking groups.

So, how dare you talk of SS without mentioning Ndiigbo?

Look at the Opobo, that cap they wear there is the same they wear in Ohafia, Arochukwu and Annang.

Not even one single Yoruba person here dragging Ishekiri or Esan even though there are traces of Yoruba culture in these 2 tribes and even other tribes sef. But it's only some misguided anuofia's that must come and disgrace the true level-headed sons of Ndigbo.

In fact you have annoyed me now. Mods please move this thread to the front page let my Cross River brothers and sisters come and see the rubbish this guy just spewed about us. Arochuckwu

Lalasticlala, Ishilove, pls who are the fp people on NL o? Enough is enough!

Did anyone say that Cross River and Edo State are similar? Man just do me a favor and jump off a cliff.

Please if anything, Yoruba has more in common with Bini than Esan.

even if it is moved to frontpage what difference does it make? If Yoruba dont want to claim itsekiri and esan thats their business. South/south was created to marginalise and divide igboland and we wont let that happen.

Havent you heard of ibini ukpabi(an oracle in arochukwu) the name of the oracle is in no way igbo but the ibibios named it. Please go and read about the aro-confederacy.

If the federal government was to take lagos,riverine parts of ogun and ondo and name it "west west" and proclaim them aworis, ogun and illajes thereby making other yorubas landlocked how do think the yoruba race would feel?

Madam check your map cross river is more eastern than south-east

Sweetlemon:

Yeah the cap is Yoruba you have a point. But it still doesn't mean that the two groups are closely related. Helll, most people wouldn't know that that traditional Esan wrap is also worn in Ghana. Does it mean that Esan and the Ghanian group that also wears the same shoulder wrap are related? Probably not. I've also seen a few Esan men wear those Northerner- styled caps, does that mean they're also related?
