If the vast majority are of people of bonny opobi etc are of Igbo ndoki origin, why should they not practice their own culture like nwatam? 1. The music instrument in those videos are Igbo. 2. The clothing is european, igbo, ibibio, etc are not Ijaw as ijaws never produced cloth. 3. Canoes in bonny opobo are not ijaw? 4. Kalabari dealth in slaves too but the majority do not speak Igbo within kalabari, so slavery could not change non Igbo to Igbo speakers in kalabari or bonny? Languages are very difficult to die. Any one can migrate and settle if the community accepts, so ijaws migrated into area controlled by Igbo Ndoki in bonny and obolo speakers. Ijaw rights advocates came about because the are minorities in the areas of bonny, opobo and andoni
You are not factual on this matter of languages of Bonny or Opobo and surrounding areas: 1. Captain Crow from 1800 to 1820s a British Captain operating in bonny recorded a words list for bonny and almost all the world list were Igbo words. 2. Opobo came from Bonny. 3. Captain Hugh Crow that operated in bonny untill 1820s noted: A. The vast majority spoke Igbo language according to Captain hugh Crow-ndoki Igbo. A minority ijaw language was spoken by in some out laying fishing camps which later became villages around Bonny and Ijaw fishing Bonny river. 4. Igbo was and is the original language of vast majority of Bonny/Opobo people. In bayelsa state ogbi lga has Ijaws, Ogbia, etissa, etc speakers in one local government areas as in Kano Hausa is the majority language and fulani, kanuri, etc is spoken by minorities. On the culture of this dance. This dance for example now, some ijaw part but mixed with Igbo. Fattening rooms is used in Igboland and Ibibio lands and may not be ijaw? The most fattening ceremony process were recorded in Efik ibibio land. The clothes by ladies are not ijaw but recent created items from Igbo ibibio cultures. Wrappers are generally worn by most southern Nigerians and not ijaws only but as ijaw did not make cloth the origin is likely Igbo akwette bini and yoruba. Ijaw minority line/compounds are a very small minority and these ijaw compounds are not culturally ijaw any more - the instrument in this dance are Igbo for example. Recent ijaw immigrants since 1970s are the people trying to introduce a language from bayelsa that was once minority as the majority language. Are their people in Bonny Opobo etc with some ijaw blood, of course yes as there are black Americans with European blood etc? The question is who are these people trying to introduce a minority language as a majority language and why?
