all these tribes are the very cause of our problems...37 tribes and you expect nigeria to be One...jokers... its because of these tribes that we have national assembly, senate upper chambers and lower chambers.... different ways of diversifying money away... why cant we just have one police everywhere...Lagos be having sarz, lastma and many irrelevant organizations, God knows what ogun, anambra, osun and other state has... my people is that for Nigeria to be One and progress...we need to act like One and all these tribe is too much for a country...i'm sure its nigeria that has a country with most tribes in it |

Though I am from Anambra, I do know that the Ijoids in Rivers state are the Okrikans, Kalabaris, Andonis??, and Ibanis of Bonny LGA except for the Ubanis of Bonny town itself and Opobo There may be one of two Ijoids that I left out, but one thing I know is that Ogonis are a distinct ethnic group |
