The Ibani tribe are an Ijaw ethnic group who live in the Bonny and Opobo areas of Rivers State, Nigeria, on the Atlantic coast. Bonny town is the tribal seat of the Ibani which is located on the bight of Bonny River. Ibani language is spoken predominantly by residents of Bonny and Opobo. Igbo is also widely spoken amongst the people and considered a general language. [citation needed]
B Bonny's development was also shaped by the tribe's close interaction with European traders.[1] The Kingdom of Bonny was a major trading center[2] from the 16th century onwards; initially trading in slavea, its people were later known for the exportation of palm oil and palm kernel.[3] The indigenes of the Bonny and Opobo kingdoms are collectively known as the Ibani people.[4]
The Ibani language is widely spoken. Historically, Bonny engaged in several wars against its nearby rivals, such as Elem Kalabari, Obolo people or Andoni.[5]
