If you people have all these Ibani-Ijaw, Kalabari-Ijaw. Yoruba or Apoi Ijaw, and all these varying languages. What would you people offer? Do you people have a business plan. How would you be able to communicate lingusitically? And won't the so-called Igbo slaves that your great great great grandmother and grandfather did buy, won't they still be discriminated by the original Ijaw people as they are doing now.



That's one, please.

Secondly, do you have a business plan (business plan for the economy is major for me) and constitution for democracy? Or you people would still live in the monarchial system being that all of you love monarchy. So in essence, the King of Kalabari would be subservient to the king in the Bayelsa because he's originally Ijaw.

So, these are my questions, and please don't insult me, if you do I'll give you back to back when I'm ready. So talk like a sane person. And give me answers, perhaps others who would be reading this post would understand. Thank you.

The Ijaws are working on a central dialect of which majority clan speakers of each words will be collected to form the new Ijaw Central dialect in the Ijaw Republic.
These are the clans.

Ijaw don't discriminate when we've spiritually acculturate somebody as Ijaw.
That's why we allow one like jaja to even be our king, etc.
If we spiritually acculturate somebody as Ijaw the person have all rights like the normal Ijaw.

Is this feasible? From my understanding of the evolution of languages, sociological and geographical factors play more role than folks sitting down to create a language. Take for example, it's recorded in authority books that Asaba is culturally related to the west than the East but as minorities that are geographically close to a dominant tribe, the Igbo language dorminated their language over time and soon reduced the influence of their original cultural relationships with their kith and kin in the Western region.
The same thing is happening in Ondo with the Apoi who are even in Ese Odo LGA and speak Yoruba more and for political reasons will rather use their broader Yoruba affinity and relationship available to them but not available to Ijaws in Rivers and Bayelsa to increase their chances of opportunities.
You will never know that some Yoruba from Ese Odo LGA, Ondo have Apoi roots perhaps until you are married to them or close to them. The Apois and Ilaje have very little difference yet the Ilaje are Yoruba but the Apois won't let go of their Yoruba affinity for obvious reasons.
So asking the Apoi to take on one central Ijaw language that gives him no special economic or political advantage over his Ilaje neighbour who is already using his Yoruba as an edge,in my opinion, is just an academic exercise.

Bonny clan alone have over 70 towns, E.g Finima, Abalama, Oloma, Piribi, Ngalaka, Kalabiama etc without adding Opobo clan ones and all these 70 towns still speak ibani Ijaw.
Only bonny main town have some ibo speaking, and they too still speak ibani Ijaw.
All Bonny people answer Ijaw names till today, and never Ibo own.
They are in all Ijaw sociocultural organisations and are not even in one Ibo own.

Ijaw have 86 clans, and only Egbema clan have over 350 villages and settlements under it.

Socio-cultural organization isn't the point we are making here. That's not a solid point. Please, go back to the related question. Thank you, dear.

Communication happens over time and with much fluidity. It isn't some sort of creation. It's just like when we women are growing our boobs, we don't make it happen. It comes out on its own.

Just the same way with languages, you can't create a language like you do in a lab room. It would be almost comical to do so. There needs to be a relation somewhere that would be easy enough to do so. And with much I've read every supposed Ijaw clan have disitncit history of theirs unlike the Yoruba's and Igbo's who's history are enmeshed in some way, so places like Ikwere, and the likes do trace their Lingua franca there.

So saying you people would construct language in how many years, is almost impossible to do so. It needs to be fluid and not forced, don't you think? A person has to learn if he wants to learn.

ThickSharon123:


Where did Ijaw come from? How did the history begin? Please tell me, I believe most of us would like to know too.

DitariDisciple2:


Apoi are Ijaw people.

Mr man, I studied language in the university.
That dialect thing, is very easy, and you must know that all Ijaws are one people, not that deceit you are telling to yourself.

Ibos came from Israel you said.

ThickSharon123:


Eh....eh....you've started with insult. Watch your tone? Please, or you don't want to see the other part of me. You were talking good for a minute...are Ijaws this animalistic? Why do you people want to argue at every point. I thought we were going to make a good conversation and now you want to turn it into fight? I believe people who try to argue their way out have no basis with what they are talking about.

Apoi West clan, people will collect their Ijaw words from Apoi East clan in Bayelsa state.
Apoi West clan is the futhermost Ijaw clan in Western zone, and it shares boundaries in 3 places with Yoruba subgroups.
That was when it got Yoruba speaking,
Apoi East in Bayelsa, speaks Ijaw.
Arogbo near it still speak Ijaw.
All these are because of state balkanizations.
