Ijaw Culture: A brief walk into the lives of one of the world's most ancient people
It is said that wherever there is a river an Ijaw born is not far off. Although this is not always the case yet those words hold great significance. The Ijaws are a collection of people that are indigenous to the Niger Delta in Nigeria. And owing to the affinity they have with water, a good number of them are found as migrant fishermen in camps as far west as Sierra Leone and as far east as Gabon. With a population of over fourteen million, the Ijaws are unarguably the most populous tribe inhabiting the Niger Delta region and arguably the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria.
