The problem I have with people mentioning “ijaw” is firstly ijo is not an ethnic nationality but rather a conglomorate of riverine people in southern nigeria. Izon however is an ethnic nationality found mostly at kolokuma/opokuma and southern ijaw LGA's of present bayelsa state. Even to bayelsans a man from ekeremo lga is not core-ijo but rather ijoid(correctly he is isoko by tribe),larger chunk of ogbia lga is not izon but epkeye(igbo/igboid group from neigbouring rivers state. Secondly there is no general ijo language or linguistic(like hausa,igbo,yoruba etc),many places people regard as ijaw that are far away from izon in kolokuma actually speak different languages from their larger cousins eg. Ekeremo lg speak urhobo/isoko easthern ogbia lga speak ekpeye igbo(the type spoken in ahoada) opobo speak central igbo,bonny speak ibani and igbo. FYI: any person that visited oilmill market in port-harcourt prior to the creation of bayelsa state will understand what I mean. In many rural communities of bayelsa state igbo is still the lingua-franca,peremabiri in southern ijaw is one of few major towns that is ijo in the real sense,even kolo town is not talkless of nembe.

spanishkid: Will your worthless attache by force ass not quote me again. Don't you have niggas pictures to steal from the internet and claim as your own in your pathetic attempt to pretend being mixed despite looking like a dark, big lip monkey. In addition, don't your miserable ass have a time to claim you live in Canada while stupidly snitching you've never stepped foot out of that worthless nation. Finally, who gives a natural born @ss if ijaw became president. Did that decrease their land stealing ways? Did that turn them into the 4th largest group as they desperately try to pretend? Did that remove bayelsa from being one of the poorest, most ill runned state in that zoo? Did that in anyway make them grow or become any type of relevance apart from land stealing other tribes land with oil? And all about "oil oil oil" Did it? While I'm at, didn't your worthless, attache by force @ss say they same thing about in ijaw aka they are land thieves few years ago? Useless goat. Don't you have yourself to quote and talk to like your derange wannabe mulatto sef. Pathetic dimwit. Log on to your mulattoclaro I'd and talk to yourself like you are known for. 19 Likes

EteEdoho: I think he was refering to the andoni and eastern obolo region. Some of dose ppl speak both annang/ibibio and ijaw languages becos of the shared boundary between us, just the same way igbos claim to have igbo speaking communities in akwa ibom, and dose so-called communities share boundaries with igbo speaking states. 1 Like 1 Share |

spanishkid: Oh yeah they are better. They are better in having nothing despite having one of the highest allocation from the government. Oh yes they are better in living in abject poverty despite having one of the highest allocation in history. Oh yes they are better in land stealing and fighting every group that have the misery of allowing them to pack their boat next to their land. Oh yes they are better at licking the @ss of north just to get a crumbs of what naturally belongs to them. And oh yes they are better at being beat in their attempt of trying to be leader only to get reversed to irrelevance in river state and delta state, only to get relevance in just bayelsa. Oh yes they are better in corruption. Oh yes they are better than your miserable clan you ashamed to claim. Oh yes they are better than your mental schizophrenic and schizoaffective @ss. 12 Likes |

All of ranting about Ijaw not being the 4th largest, pls don't forget Ijaw has about 9 local government areas in Rivers or there about. the Kalabari, the Okrikas, the Opobos the Bonnis, are all Ijaws. in Delta state, Ijaw has almost 20% of the total population. in fact, after Urhobo, Delta Ibo, the next tribe is Ijaw. In Edo state we Ijaws in Oviasouth west and east. In Ondo state, u v the Ese Odo people, that is where Kuku and the current apc chairman of Ondo state came from. In Akwa Ibom, u v the Eastern Obodo and Ibuno local government areas for Ijaw. Ijaw are found in 6 states of Nigeria. they have 5 senators, and prior to ds Buhari regime, they used to av d least 3 ministers. currently they have a governor and 2 deputy governors. so tell me about yo mumu tiv people 3 Likes 1 Share |

Tinubutoto:you are either very naïve or stupiid or both,I'm from rivers and also a grassroot politician(I am a cousin to CTC chairman of oyigbo hon.nnamdi ihute). Firstly kalabari do not regard themselves as ijo but rather kalabari ethnic nationality(any PH boy knows this) the only real ijo lga in rivers state are ogu/bolo and okrika(although okrika is largely migrant dominated). Even at that no LGA or commnunity in rivers state will identity as ijo(not anymore,maybe B4 creation of bayelsa state) even abual people from abua/odual will never call themselves ijo. It is only in bayelsa and gbaramatu(southern delta state) that people identify as ijo. In delta bomadi and other remote ijo commnities are huge rivals with gbaramatu and okerenkoko ijos of warri south west. Bottom line: your ijo is imaginary!!!!!!!! 8 Likes 1 Share |
