| 释义 |
The Western Apoi tribe of the Ijaw people live in Ondo State, Nigeria. The tribe (also called Ijaw Apoi or Apoi) consists of nine settlements: Igbobini, Ojuala, Ikpoki, Inikorogha, Oboro, Shabomi, Igbotu, Kiribo and Gbekebo. The Apoi inhabited higher ground than most of the other Ijaw tribes. They speak the Yoruba language as they no longer speak the Ijaw language. They are bordered to the north by the Ikale Yoruba and to the west by the Ilaje Yoruba. The clan also shares border with the Arogbo Ijaw to the south and the Furupagha Ijaw to the east across the Siluko River.[1] The Apoi people trace their origin to a migration from the Central Niger Delta in present day Bayelsa State. Prior to arriving at their present location, tribal traditions recall a long period of settlement at Ukomu in what is now Furupagha territory. The Apoi king is called Oba and the title is Kalasuwe and the seat of the throne is in Shabomi. Here is the list of Apoi Kings, and the communities they rule over.:
